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...
Reviews present Kem CoBa as a Montreal ice cream landmark known for inventive, high quality flavors and a silky texture, with soft serve often highlighted as a standout and many calling it the best in town. The menu features bold, rotating flavors including pandan, lychee, rose, durian, mango, matcha, corn flakes with salted caramel, and other Asian inspired options, along with solid hard ice creams; tasters praise strong, balanced flavors and a creamy mouthfeel that stays light rather than cloying. The experience is sometimes described as artisanal and house made, with several notes about the soft serve and sorbet being refreshingly delicious. The shop operates cash only, so visitors are advised to bring cash, which can contribute to longer lines that nevertheless move at a steady pace. A few reviews mention pricing for small portions as a drawback, but overall the place is called a Montreal classic and a must for ice cream lovers, drawing repeat visits to sample new flavors and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.
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.

The line was intimidating but moved rather fast. They have an immaculate service system to help process people through. I had the soursop sorbet (acidic & fermented taste) & the pandan leaf (floral vanilla notes) ice cream & my mom got the salted butter & dulce de leche ice cream. I like that there is a balance of more approachable flavors & some more exotic ones!
Glacier très renommé, il y a souvent une grande queue, paiement seulement en cash, pas très cher, 20,42 dollars taxes comprises pour 4 petites coupes 2 parfums. On peut tester 1 goût avant de choisir. Plusieurs parfums différents souvent originaux & multigouts (miel fleur d'oranger, mangue ananas coco, fruits rouges, framboise rose...).

Voici une place qui sert de la crème glacée de qualité supérieure. Les saveurs proposées sont originales. La texture de la glace, dure ou mole, fait ressortir un sentiment de satisfaction inéluctable. Pour les crèmes dure, je recommande fortement celle à la rose, litchi & framboise ou sinon celle au chocolat 72%. Vous ne regretterez pas. Sinon, pour la crème glacée molle, c'est toujours deux saveurs mélangés dans un twist & les mélanges alternent toutes les deux semaines. Chaque mélange vaut la peine d'être goûté, je n'ai jamais été déçu. Shoutout à Vincent pour nous servir ces délicieuses crèmes glacées!
Sorbet ou crème glacée, un lieu où déguster une excellente glace & le parfum de la semaine change le mardi. Découverte de saveurs inédites... un délice à découvrir absolument
