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.

superbe expérience chez ce glacier de montréal!
les goûts sont intrigants & réussis,
fromage de chèvre ?!!
feuille de pandanus ?!!!
eh bien c'est au rendez vous, l'expérience est étonnamment d'une profondeur de goût & d'une qualité d'exécution qui ferait pâlir l'enseigne d'à côté (I**nog**ce).
Je recommande!

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.

Great choice of flavor especially the pandan & the chocolat is not bad too rich & smooth but eat fast because it's melt fast
