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.

Unique flavors unlike anything you can find anywhere else. Be ready with cash & prepared for a potentially long wait, especially on a nice day. Worth the wait to try something so unique.

Tasty & unique flavours you won't find anywhere else, highly recommend. Only downside is that it's cash only so make sure you have some on you

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!

Unique flavours. Their soft serve is delicious & it changes often. They have one of the best chocolate ice cream I've ever had. Cash only, so come prepared.

Kem Coba is the most famous ice cream shop in Mile-end.

The ice cream is really good, with unique & novel flavors. It has different surprises every day. As for whether you can'bump' into your favorite, it depends on luck.

Really love the Asian-inspired flavours offered at this place. I found the flavours were very unique & not commonly found in any other ice cream shops I've been to. We had a double scoop of pandan & salted butter. We really loved the pandan ice cream, the flavour was really strong & true to what pandan tastes like!! I also have never seen pandan offered anywhere else. Definitely recommend this place.

I love this place, they make lots of unique flavours & many are geared towards Asian flavours, such as pandan & soursop. The gelatos & sorbets are well made & have a rich but not overly sweet taste. My favourites are pandan & mango sorbet. Please note that they're only open during the summer months (closes in September) & only take cash. Be aware that there may be lineups, but it is worth it!
