Review Summary

Kem CoBa is widely regarded as one of the premier ice cream destinations in Montreal, celebrated for its high-quality artisanal gelato, sorbets, and rotating soft serve flavors. Visitors frequently praise the shop for its unique and creative flavor combinations, particularly the Vietnamese-inspired options like pandan and salted cream, which offer a refreshing and authentic taste profile. While the shop is famous for its long lines and a strictly cash-only payment policy that requires advance preparation, many patrons find the experience well worth the wait. The vibrant community atmosphere, friendly service, and commitment to fresh, well-balanced ingredients make it a must-visit spot in the Mile End neighborhood, though some guests suggest checking the menu in advance as popularity can occasionally lead to varied personal experiences.

Les meilleures crèmes glacées de Montréal, sans hesitation.Mais par tous les diables, le'cash only', c'est inacceptable en 2026. Une machine Square ne coûte pas su cher. Être forcé d'aller au dépanneur d'à côté & payer 10$ de frais pour retirer 20 balles après avoir traversé la ville & payé le parcomètre, c'est ne pas.avoir compris le concept du service à la clientèle.

The place says it closes at 8, but they usually stay open a bit longer than that until the line dies down. It is cash only, so no card accepted!

We got the strawberry cheesecake soft serve & it was heavenly! We wanted to buy a pint, but the employee working there said the pint is only available two weeks after the limited edition soft serve is out.
