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.

The best ice cream eve

Kem CoBa remains our undisputed favorite ice cream spot in Montreal. Their rotating specialty swirlis always worth the trip, & their small?batch artisanal flavors are consistently excellent. Even when there's a line, it moves quickly, & it's one of those places where you really do need to remember to bring cash. Bonus: during the off?season, you can still stock up on their ice cream pots to get you through the colder months.

The gelato tastes nice, great flavor. However, found a piece of plastic bag in my gelato, wish they are more careful & concerned about hygiene
