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.

Les glaces sont délicieuses & bien servies & l'accueil par l'équipe est très chaleureuse ! Les gérants ont pris le temps de nous expliquer les saveurs originales qu'ils proposaient & ils nous laissaient le temps de choisir.Une chouette découverte pour nous

I choose sour cherry & Lychee, Fig & Orange. Both were tasty. Colorful bench makes eating gelato more sweet. Cash only is not convenient for tourlist.

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.

Went on a Thursday night, no line. They always have untypical flavors (more fruity) that taste amazing. I tried one of their sorbets, which was delicious. Definitely recommend it when you need a quick ice-cream fix that isn't too heavy.

My friends & I were just walking by & realized this opened in 15 minutes, & there wasn't a line yet. Thank goodness because once we got in line, it formed... & it was long. Their shop is one of Montreal's staples & I'm happy to say that they provide a few vegan friendly sorbet options. During our visit, they had wonderful tropical fruit flavors & you can split a small cup for the same price. Their mango was refreshing & a must try. Cash only! Make sure to bring them bills to pay for this delicious Vietnamese inspired ice cream.
