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.

The ice cream is ok & for the line, I wouldn't come back again. You can get better ice cream anywhere else. Another downside is that is cash only.

Cute shop. Line goes quick. Tried the blueberry (or raspberry?) cheese cake swirl, was more like blueberry/vanilla. Bring cash.

Decidí probar el cono combinado que sugerían con frambuesa. Estuvo delicioso, mi amigo pidió dátil con coco y también le fascinó. La fila era algo larga, pero avanzó en seguida, todos fueron mus amables.

Nice ice cream. I liked the chocolate one & texture of it. Sorbet was not as good. The scoops were small but pricey.
