I had the pandan & peanut/honey flavours. So good. Great way to beat the heat. There was a lineup & cash only.

Kem Coba came up on Google as one of the highest-rated ice cream spots in Montreal, so I had to try it-& overall, it's not a bad experience.

I tried both their gelato & soft serve. For the price, it's definitely a plus: portions are generous, & the cone is really good. I also love the funky, colorful interior & the shared seating space outside where people naturally end up chatting-it has a fun, community feel.

I had the salted cream & Vietnamese coffee gelato. They were good, but personally I found the gelato a bit too rich for my taste-I lean more toward creamery-style ice cream. The sorbets, however, were excellent. The strawberry stood out as amazing, & the matcha was also very good. The mango passion fruit with lime soft serve ice cream was also ok, too sweet for my preference though. So I couldn't have much.

Just a heads-up: it's cash only & expect long lines.

Overall, great spot for gelato & sorbet lovers, just not exactly my personal preference for ice cream style might have other options for my palette.

Accueil pitoyable. Ils font certe de très bonne glace mais ils ont tellement pris la grosse tête vis à vis du monde qu'il en ont perdu le sens de l'accueil du client.
Je n'y remettait plus les pieds.
