Menu
Kem CoBa (in Vietnamese it means "third auntie's ice cream", nickname given to co-owner Ngoc by her niece) offers fresh ice cream and sorbet prepared with premium quality ingredients, with no preservatives nor artificial flavours. You'll also find homemade soft ice cream, with featured flavours that change based on the 2 chefs' mood and creative escapades. How about coconut-mango or strawberry cheesecake? You can also buy pastries that complement ice cream and sorbet. But this time, they're Ngoc's own little creations (baked on site). Now we're talking about shortbread, brownies, almond tiles, butter cakes, canelés, sponge cakes, etc. And a little (sweet) Asian touch is what makes them so special...

Review Summary

Kem CoBa is widely regarded as one of Montreal's best ice cream spots, known for creamy, artisanal flavors and a silky soft serve that fans crave; the menu features a rotating selection of inventive flavors, including pandan, lychee, rose, mango and other bold pairings that change every couple of weeks, keeping the experience fresh. The experience is praised for quality and variety, though lines can be long and the shop operates cash only, so visitors are advised to bring cash. Taken together, Kem CoBa stands out as a memorable, artisanal destination that brings creative, fresh flavors to the Montreal ice cream scene and earns frequent repeat visits from locals and travelers alike.

Kem Coba est mon endroit préféré pour la crème glacée 🍦💛

Les saveurs sont incroyables & vraiment uniques. Tout est frais, avec des saveurs bien équilibrées sans être trop sucré.

Je recommande absolument d'essayer la twist du moment, c'est toujours une belle découverte !

Le propriétaire & les employés sont tellement gentils, l'ambiance est toujours agréable & l'endroit est super family friendly!

Petit conseil : pensez à avoir de l'argent comptant avec vous!

Absolutely one of the best ice cream shops in Montreal. They are only open half of the year & they rotate their flavours very often.

Great selection of ice cream.

The selection of the moment is always a great combo of flavors. Hard ice cream is also a very solid choice!

Pas trop sucrée & riche en goût, la soft serve dulce de leche & sorbet mangue était délicieuse. Avant d'y aller pensez à retirer de l'espèce car c'est cash only.

We were in Montreal for two days & we went to Kem Co Ba two times. We wanted to go more but we couldn't! The ice cream & sorbet was out of this world. Texture on the chocolate 72 was silky smooth. Simply the best.

Delicious & so refreshing. Love the variety of flavours. We tried the limited time blueberry honey & it was incredible. The Raspberry rose was divine & the pandan was very interesting! we will be going back to try more flavours the next time we visit the area.

Note that the establishment is cash only.

The line was kinda long, & moved slowly. Didn't know ahead of time that this place is cash only, so be prepared. The soft-serve 72% chocolate twist with framboise was delicious. Tried the hard praline first, & wasn't a big fan. Prices are reasonable.

C'était bon mais sans plus. Forte ressemblance avec les autres crèmerie, rien d'extraordinaire... Une trappe à touristes. Un peu déçu du format de crème glacée car très cher pour ce petit format. Je vais retournée à ma crèmerie favorite Hoche glacé! 🍦

Got there before the line built up. Got Lychee & Mango sherbet. We also got the Ice Cream du jour (Blueberry & Honey). Wow were they delicious! You can really taste the flavours.
