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.

Pretty good given the high expectations going in!

Only cash in 2023… after a trip of 20 days in Canada, the only time we went to an ATM was for this place.

Good ice creams, but too much hype. For me, not worth it. But it is just a personal opinion, of course.

Pandan gelato is just out of this world! The texture of the ice cream is unlike any I’ve ever had before. Probably the best gelato I’ve had ever!

Gelato was smooth & rich, with exciting flavours like Pandan. Would recommend for a warm day in MTL!
