Kem CoBa Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
Ice CreamDesserts & Sweets
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.

This spot has really good ice cream. I got the 70% chocolate & it was really good. Creamy & packed with flavour on every bite! It's cash only as well.

Wow! This was incredible! Had pandan + cherry razz, citron + passion fruit soft serve, & butter + rose cardamom- so insanely tasty, fruity & creamy!

Hands down the best ice cream in Montreal. I finally tried Kem Coba after hearing the hype forever, & it more than delivered. I had the biweekly soft serve & it was unreal. Creamy, rich, just the perfect balance.
Yes, there's a line but it moves quite fast & honestly feels like part of the experience. The flavors are super creative, always changing, & everything tastes insanely fresh.
If you love ice cream even a little, this place is life changing!

This is the best ice cream store in montreal. It combines extremely high quality ice cream (rich, creamy, great texture) with incredibly creative flavours. The salted butter & 72% chocolate go together extremely well. But the matcha & pandan leaf (if they have them) are the stars of the show. Both bring an earthyness that contrasts beautifully to their sweetness. If you want good ice cream bring cash & get ready for a line, but it'll be worth it.

Really smooth & has a rich creamy flavor. But a bit too sweet for me. Have to say not worth to wait for too long

One of the best ice creams in mtl! Delicious, creamy & rich but not heavy Idk how they do it but it's great! So many flavours to choose from & they have new flavours weekly. I personally loved the pandan! Long lineup but it goes by quickly. Cash only. Def recommend if you're around the area!

Deeeelicious! They captured the pandan & soursop flavours really well. Not too sweet, & super creamy. I haven't found any place else that has these southeast asian flavours - it really hits home. I need to go back for the durian!
