Reviews describe Hoche Glacé as a beloved neighborhood ice cream spot with a wide variety of flavors and a strong focus on quality ingredients, including standout vegan and dairy free options that many say rival traditional dairy in taste and texture. The menu ranges from classic creamy scoops to sorbet and vegan soft serve, with favorites such as matcha pistachio, pistachio matcha tourbillon, apple crumble tourbillon, tiramisu tourbillon, and chocolate dips, and several tasters note generous portions and creative textures. While the ambiance is praised as cozy and welcoming with a pleasant sit down area, prices are frequently noted as high and some reviewers feel portions or value could be better, especially for certain tourbillons and toppings. Service is repeatedly described as friendly and patient, contributing to a strong neighborhood vibe, though a few visits report long lines, busy crowds, or occasional slow service. The store is seen as a destination for dairy free dessert lovers and to stroll around Hochelaga, with many recommending returning to try more flavors and to sample new flavors. Overall Hoche Glacé emerges as a top choice for ice cream in Montreal with a broad appeal to vegans and non vegans alike, but potential visitors should be prepared for peak time queues and higher prices relative to other spots.
INSANE ICE CREAM ! Les portions sont vraiment grande, je vous recommande le tourbillon Tiramisu. Ils ont une grande variété de choix & aussi des options véganes
On a 32 degree hot day, consider waiting in a big queue outside. Lots of options including vegan & dark chocolate. The female staff are young & hard workers. The best ice cream on Hochelaga street.
Tried the macha & pistachio ice cream.
Was very good & very fresh… thoroughly enjoyed it. The only reason for the lower star rating is the price, unfortunately. The price listed in my opinion for a'blizzard' is already on the higher end of things with 9.85$ for a small,, but there is an additional 1.50$ extra upcharge for that specific flavour. Total cost was just over 12 dollars. While I really enjoyed it, & they did add quite a nice amount of matcha & pistachios (which I get are expensive), I personally can't justify 12$ for one ice cream.
Kudos however to a really lovely ice cream shop with fresh ingredients & friendly staff which I would have otherwise gladly returned to 😊
Super crème glacée sans produit laitier : leur Molle vegane est juste géniale quand on apprécie un parfum bien dosé qui ne goûte pas le mega sucré coloré!
Prix un peu élevés par contre

The ice cream tastes was fine. I ordered a matcha pistachio ice cream but the girl said that there was no left of it & suddenly, someone else ordered it & they prepared it. It was kind of rude.

Premiere fois que je retourne la depuis un bout. J'ai pris une coupe glacé avant hier. « Chocolat » maison: une espèce de poudre chocolat diluée dans trop d'eau. Granuleux, c'est sur qu'ils avaient du faire une erreur tellement c'était décevant. Pourquoi c'est pas le même chocolat que les trempés? En tout cas, changer de recette de chocolat maison, ce n'est pas à la hauteur de votre établissement.
Creme glacée d'excellente qualité & de bonne variété mais les tarifs sont élevés dans hoshlaga en comparaison a des offres similaires ailleurs dans la ville plateau etc.
