Kem CoBa Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
Ice CreamDesserts & Sweets
Kem CoBa (in Vietnamese it means "third auntie's ice cream", nickname given to co-owner Ngoc by her niece) offers fresh ice cream and sorbet prepared with premium quality ingredients, with no preservatives nor artificial flavours. You'll also find homemade soft ice cream, with featured flavours that change based on the 2 chefs' mood and creative escapades. How about coconut-mango or strawberry cheesecake? You can also buy pastries that complement ice cream and sorbet. But this time, they're Ngoc's own little creations (baked on site). Now we're talking about shortbread, brownies, almond tiles, butter cakes, canelés, sponge cakes, etc. And a little (sweet) Asian touch is what makes them so special...

Review Summary

Kem CoBa is widely regarded as one of Montreal's best ice cream spots, known for creamy, artisanal flavors and a silky soft serve that fans crave; the menu features a rotating selection of inventive flavors, including pandan, lychee, rose, mango and other bold pairings that change every couple of weeks, keeping the experience fresh. The experience is praised for quality and variety, though lines can be long and the shop operates cash only, so visitors are advised to bring cash. Taken together, Kem CoBa stands out as a memorable, artisanal destination that brings creative, fresh flavors to the Montreal ice cream scene and earns frequent repeat visits from locals and travelers alike.

Delicious & so refreshing. Love the variety of flavours. We tried the limited time blueberry honey & it was incredible. The Raspberry rose was divine & the pandan was very interesting! we will be going back to try more flavours the next time we visit the area.

Note that the establishment is cash only.

The line was kinda long, & moved slowly. Didn't know ahead of time that this place is cash only, so be prepared. The soft-serve 72% chocolate twist with framboise was delicious. Tried the hard praline first, & wasn't a big fan. Prices are reasonable.

C'était bon mais sans plus. Forte ressemblance avec les autres crèmerie, rien d'extraordinaire... Une trappe à touristes. Un peu déçu du format de crème glacée car très cher pour ce petit format. Je vais retournée à ma crèmerie favorite Hoche glacé! 🍦

Got there before the line built up. Got Lychee & Mango sherbet. We also got the Ice Cream du jour (Blueberry & Honey). Wow were they delicious! You can really taste the flavours.

Les meilleures crèmes glacées à Montréal!!! Je rajouterai plus d'étoiles si c'était possible car à la fermeture le personnel & le propriétaire se donnent encore la peine de récupérer tous les déchets qui traînent par terre ou laissés par la clientèle le long de la rue. Bravo!

Un helado normalito para el gusto europeo. Quizás puede ser de los mejores en Montreal, pero no esperes gran cosa.
