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.
Hoche Glacé is hands down one of the best ice cream spots in town! The service is top-notch-friendly, fast, & always with a smile. The ice creams? Absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors that will leave you coming back for more. Whether you're into classics or adventurous new combos, they've got something for everyone. The atmosphere is super chill too, making it the perfect place to hang out with friends or just enjoy a sweet treat on your own. Big shoutout to Emiliano for always making the experience even better!

Glad to find vegan options ! They are more on the traditional side with sundaes, blizzards etc. They always have vegan vanilla ice cream + the flavour of the moment.
I had the choco-noisette, which had chunks of hazelnut chocolate swirled in chocolate ice cream. Sublime. My kids loved their chocolate soft serve with sprinkles. If I lived in town, I would have taken an ice cream cake with me.
3/5 overall. Pros: - Vegan & lactose-free options - Very tasty vegan ice cream & good consistency - Very rich coffee, the real deal, the way I like it! Cons: - Very limited seating. Need more outdoor seating! - Lack of customer service from the cashier & person serving us. No smile, no thank you. - Poor lighting, makes it very hard to see the menu! - We didn't see any English anywhere. You are alienating your clientèle. We enjoyed our vegan ice creams, but have no desire to make the detour for this shop in the future, unless things change.
De tout ce que j'avais envie, rien était disponible. Rupture de skor, pas la saveur du moment annoncée sur leurs réseaux sociaux, ils ne trempent pas les dures dans le chocolat sur un cornet (j'avais jamais entendu ça). J'ai finalement prit un tourbillon, mais il était tellement mélangé, limite liquide. Leur coulis maison de framboise goûte l'arôme artificiel. Je vais à beaucoup de crémeries dans la vie, en plus d'avoir travaillé dans plusieurs autres, c'est dure pour moi de ne pas les comparer entre elles. Clairement dans mon top 2 des pires crémeries à Montréal.

Le prix est assez élevé pour une glace. Il y a très peu de place pour consommer. La terrasse n'est pas appropriée pour venir agec des enfants! Pas sécurisé & pas très propre non plus... .
Ice creams are a must-try if you are visiting Montreal. It is near to Bio dome. Brownie & the classic chocolate berry flavor is highly recommended. Parking available
After Montreal Biodome, we stopped by Hoche Glace for sweet treats, & it was a fantastic experience! This ice cream store offers wide varieties of delicious flavors that meet to all tastes. The staff were friendly & welcoming, providing good service with a smile.
Les glaces sont très bonnes & TRES copieuses !! Nous recommandons, on s'est régalés. Les toppings sont bons également. Les prix raisonnables par rapport à la quantité.
