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.

Raspberry cherry & cardamom rose. Would definitely recommend the raspberry, tastes like nostalgic & like childhood so yum.
Only downside is that it's cash only in the big'26

superbe expérience chez ce glacier de montréal!
les goûts sont intrigants & réussis,
fromage de chèvre ?!!
feuille de pandanus ?!!!
eh bien c'est au rendez vous, l'expérience est étonnamment d'une profondeur de goût & d'une qualité d'exécution qui ferait pâlir l'enseigne d'à côté (I**nog**ce).
Je recommande!

La crème-glacée beurre salé est un coup de coeur, une des meilleures crème-glacée que j'ai mangé!

KemCoba is one of the better icecream places in Montreal. Their gelato is definitely one of the best around, & the price is very reasonable compared to others in the city. The staff is friendly too, just be aware you need to take cash in advance.

Their flavours can be great but sometimes a miss. I recently had coconut, which really could do without the peanuts on top & was too sweet. Also I do wish they bought some flavours back, especially their date flavour two years ago was EXCEPTIONAL. Please bring it back, it was a winner. 🫶🏻

Overall, way way better than their neighbours. Walk down the street, & come to Kemcoba instead.

Payer juste en cash en 2026 c'est soit 1) de la fraude soit 2) de la paresse. Payer 4-5$ de frais à l'ATM d'à côté, ça fait cher la crème glacée & ce n'est pas respectueux de la clientèle.

It's cash only so definitely some tax fraud going on. Regardless I did try it however it's not worth the hype. I eat better ice cream at dalmata & ripples around the block
