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.

Délicieuses ! Nous sommes arrivés tard, à la fermeture, & les employés ont été très sympathiques & nous ont proposé de quand même commander. Le service était super, ils ont pris le temps de nous aider à comprendre les parfums malgré l'heure tardive. Les saveurs sont très originales ! Le chocolat est l'un des meilleurs que j'ai jamais goûté. Foncez !

The ice cream tasted really great. This time, the flavor was a mix of passion fruit & ice cream, which wasn't too sweet.Really love it.

Delicious soft serve as usual! We went near closing time so the usual lineup was non-existent! First time trying their lemon & passionfruit & it was great! The creaminess of the lemon ice cream pairs well with the sourness from the passionfruit! Remember to bring cash as it is cash only!

I love this place, they make lots of unique flavours & many are geared towards Asian flavours, such as pandan & soursop. The gelatos & sorbets are well made & have a rich but not overly sweet taste. My favourites are pandan & mango sorbet. Please note that they're only open during the summer months (closes in September) & only take cash. Be aware that there may be lineups, but it is worth it!

Les sorbets & crèmes glacées sont excellentes. On comprend pourquoi la plupart du temps il y a une file. Les saveurs sont originales (juste ce qu'il faut) & très bonnes. Le prix reste raisonnable au vu de la qualité & de la quantité servie.
