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.

Not sure why this place is so popular. I tried a few flavors & they were all mid. Flavors that should be punchy & vibrant just didn't come through, everything tasted mildly reminiscent of the flavors they were supposed to be, in an unsatisfying way.

Amazing ice cream with unique flavors!
The swirl changes every two weeks, so there's always something new to try. There was a long line, but it was worth the wait, & they even stayed open past their posted closing time.
Just remember to bring cash. I'll definitely be back!

Unique flavors unlike anything you can find anywhere else. Be ready with cash & prepared for a potentially long wait, especially on a nice day. Worth the wait to try something so unique.

Last time I went it was cash only. The lines can be very long sometimes, but it moves relatively fast. There's different flavors that you dont find elsewhere but you also have the regular flavors for those less adventurous. All in all i recommend this place!

Mauvais service - manque de politesse de la part du propriétaire.
Magasin vide à l'ouverture. Il n'y a personne. Le magasin est grand ouvert. On entre.
Pas de bonjour & il nous lance : l'entrée c'est par là bas.

En plus des quantités radines,
La glace en tant que telle ne vaut pas la queue

Passez votre chemin
