Kem CoBa Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reservations (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.

Popular spot for ice cream. Ordered the vietnamese coffee flavour ice cream in a cup. Enjoyed it while sitting outside the shop. I believe they only take cash. They allow you to test try 1 flavour only.

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!

Gelato was smooth & rich, with exciting flavours like Pandan. Would recommend for a warm day in MTL!
