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.

Such delicious & original ice cream. Every now & then they have a special home made ice cream where they mix two flavors. I definitely recommend this place, been going since 2010. A must see place in the mile-end. CASH ONLY.

Interesting ice cream. The cone was of lower quality I found. The pandan ice cream was really good.

We were in the area & decided to try the featured soft serve La Québécoise which consisted of honey & blueberry sorbet. The flavor combination paired really well & complimented each other. A must try if you are visiting the area.

This is the best ice cream store in montreal. It combines extremely high quality ice cream (rich, creamy, great texture) with incredibly creative flavours. The salted butter & 72% chocolate go together extremely well. But the matcha & pandan leaf (if they have them) are the stars of the show. Both bring an earthyness that contrasts beautifully to their sweetness. If you want good ice cream bring cash & get ready for a line, but it'll be worth it.

By far the best ice cream in Montreal. Note that they are open until 9 PM every night - & sometimes even later! - even though Google Maps says they are only open until 8.
