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.

One of the best ice creams in Montreal, the only downside is that they only accept cash

Kem Coba is one of the top 3 places for outstanding ice cream in Montreal. If we are having dinner in the area we stop for dessert here. About every two weeks there soft ice cream flavour changes & the flavours are exquisite burst of a perfect blend of flavours. In the fall their last soft ice cream taste like apple pie. WOW. Dry duran, salted butter, the dark chocolate is devine.. Not sure if you will like the soft ice cream, just get a mini & come back for more.
Vincent , Ngoc family & team are very friendly & patient.
The line up is long in summer, hence the rope because that is how good & popular Kem Coba is . There are seats to enjoy & chat with friends. The summer heat has finally arrived & its time for delicious ice cream & sorbet . Also a stop on my ice cream tours of Montreal.
Highly recommended

Honnêtement, je trouve que Kem Coba est la MEILLEURE crème glacée & de loin, que vous trouverez à Montréal ! Je trouve même qu'à chaque fois elle surpasse mes attentes (& je suis pourtant très exigente en la matière). Je la trouve même plus délicate que certaines crèmes glacées que j'ai dégusté en Italie avec une texture crémeuse, des goûts qui nous transportent, enfin une glace qui goûte le fruit & pas le chimique ! De plus Vincent qui est un alchimiste des parfums, compose avec passion & amour des associations toujours plus originales & surprenants qui font voyager (matcha, rose-litchie, fromage de chèvre-cerise griotte) sans oublier les incontournables classiques exécutés avec brio Chocolat - Mangue - Vanille - Caramel Beurre Salé... on s'en lasse pas! Griotte sur le sunday, on est toujours accueillis avec le sourire & une bonne humeur communicative de l'équipe ! C'est tellement le rendez-vous de l'été qu'on attend avec impatience chaque année :)
Merci Vincent d'exister & de régaler nos papilles pour les petits & grands enfants que nous sommes

Kem Coba has good quality ice cream for sure. Just dissapointed by their cash only policy.

They also charge 0.25$ for an empty cup on top of their ice cream being pricey.

They save a lot of money on credit card fees, make you wait in line, the least they could do is give free cups.

Not of fan of cash only & charging for cups etc, ice cream however is good

Without a single doubt, it's the best ice cream in town if not in the country.
