Reviews present Kem CoBa as a Montreal ice cream landmark known for inventive, high quality flavors and a silky texture, with soft serve often highlighted as a standout and many calling it the best in town. The menu features bold, rotating flavors including pandan, lychee, rose, durian, mango, matcha, corn flakes with salted caramel, and other Asian inspired options, along with solid hard ice creams; tasters praise strong, balanced flavors and a creamy mouthfeel that stays light rather than cloying. The experience is sometimes described as artisanal and house made, with several notes about the soft serve and sorbet being refreshingly delicious. The shop operates cash only, so visitors are advised to bring cash, which can contribute to longer lines that nevertheless move at a steady pace. A few reviews mention pricing for small portions as a drawback, but overall the place is called a Montreal classic and a must for ice cream lovers, drawing repeat visits to sample new flavors and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

Omg!!!! The best ever!!! It is pricy & make sure you have cash. We had US dollars & the exchange is 1:1. We tried the soursop & it definitely reminds me of home. We had to go for seconds. The best $30 spent on ice cream lol

Only cash in 2023… after a trip of 20 days in Canada, the only time we went to an ATM was for this place.

Good ice creams, but too much hype. For me, not worth it. But it is just a personal opinion, of course.

Pandan gelato is just out of this world! The texture of the ice cream is unlike any I’ve ever had before. Probably the best gelato I’ve had ever!

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

Best ice cream in Montreal! Seriously. Don’t be intimidated by the line, it typically goes pretty quick.
