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.

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.

Un grand classique de Montréal, des glaces incroyables. Mais cash only, encore en 2024? Ça soulève des questions.

Delicious ice cream. The mango & the lime & mint were perfect to refresh myself on a hot summer day. They only accept cash here.

In my opinion these are the best in Montréal, the quality of the ingredients, the flavors, the texture. Only downside: cash only 💵

Great flavors. My picky kids love their own combos. One had salted butter & panda. Other did sorbet -strawberry & sour sop. Wife had lychee cone. All hits.
