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.

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! 🍦

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!
