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.
Loved the pistachio ice cream topped with matcha powder! The flavors blend perfectly - not too sweet, just right. I also enjoyed the crunchy pistachio pieces inside. A refreshing & well-balanced treat. Will definitely come back!
They have these amazing vegan flavors, & the Pistachio Matcha is seriously out of this world. If you're looking for a second favorite, the Apple Crumble is a close one, & the Tiramisu is third on my list. They also have dairy ice cream if that's your thing. The service is top-notch. The staff is super nice, really patient, & they let you try samples before you decide. Plenty of free street parking & nice seating place on site. This place is definitely in my top 3 ice cream spots in Montreal. Highly recommend checking it out!
La glace est très bonne, Un service peu chaleureux La glace au tiramisu avec de la cannelle ? aucun goût de café, pas de cacao sur le dessu. Sinon une bonne adresse pour une glace.
Le gâteau Brownie & Chocolat est absolument délicieux. Je l'ai servi à l'occasion de l'anniversaire de ma fille & c'est unanime un goût exceptionnel de chocolat!!
J'ai dégusté une molle au thé noir avec un enrobage de chocolat 70%, c'était tout simplement sublime, supérieur aux Gelato que j'ai mangé en Italie. J'habite à l'extérieur de Montréal, c'était ma première visite chez Hoche & ça ne sera la dernière. Bravo!

Ice cream is great & their blizzards are amazing! I would suggest to add kids/toddler portions as their small is ridiculously huge for a toddler. & when paying for a small & asking them to simply put less, they say they cannot, which is weird.
