Kem CoBa (en vietnamien, ça signifie « crème glacée de tante 3 », surnom donné à Ngoc, la copropriétaire, par sa nièce) offre des glaces et des sorbets frais préparés avec des ingrédients de première qualité, sans agents de conservation ni saveurs artificielles. Vous trouverez aussi chez Kem CoBa de la crème glacée molle artisanale, dont les saveurs-vedettes concoctées par les deux chefs (Ngoc et Vincent) changent selon leurs humeurs. Coco-mangue ou cheesecake aux fraises, ça vous tente? Des pâtisseries s'alliant bien aux glaces y sont également offertes, celles-là étant les créations originales (cuites sur place) de Ngoc. On parle ici de sablés, de brownies, de tuiles aux amandes, de gâteaux quatre-quarts, de canelés, de gâteaux-éponges, etc. Le tout relevé par-ci par-là d'une petite touche asiatique (sucrée, évidemment!)
Kem CoBa est souvent décrite comme une référence de la glace à Montréal, alliant qualité artisanale et parfums originaux; les textures sont généralement onctueuses et le soft serve est particulièrement apprécié avec des saveurs comme pandan, litchi, rose, mangue et caramel sale qui évoluent régulièrement. Les avis mettent en valeur la créativité et la constance des goûts, avec des combinaisons audacieuses et des sorbets fruités qui surprennent; certains commentaires louent aussi la qualité du service et l ambiance devant la boutique. Des files d attente peuvent être longues en été et la politique de paiement en espèces uniquement est signalée comme un inconvénient, avec des tarifs qui peuvent sembler élevés pour de petites portions. Malgré cela, l adresse est décrite comme l'une des meilleures glaces de Montréal et attire des visiteurs fidèles qui reviennent saison après saison.
Kem Coba is the most famous ice cream shop in Mile-end.
The ice cream is really good, with unique & novel flavors. It has different surprises every day. As for whether you can'bump' into your favorite, it depends on luck.

Pretty standard ice cream shop that you see in a big city. They only allow one tester & one I tried was absolutely horrible & one I picked was safe choice (chocolate & something else) which worked okay. Long line ups but worth it on a hot day.
This ice cream shop is perfectly located in a food corner from Fairmont Bagels to Drogheria to Kem CoBa! Got the soft serve. The texture was perfect, & the flavors blended well. I love that they had SE Asian / Vietnamese flavors!
Came here while visiting Montreal back in the end of September. Randomly fell to my knees as I had a flashback of this delicious ice cream. Prompted me to write this review. I need you to open a shop in Toronto, please! Jokes aside, love how inventive they are with their flavours. The long lines speak for themselves, these guys should be a national treasure. I'm not a fan of sweets, but I can easily inhale 10 pints of whatever these guys are offering. The soft serve with raspberries & cheesecake was an easy 15/10. Beware, all other ice cream after Kem Coba will be a let down.
Really love the Asian-inspired flavours offered at this place. I found the flavours were very unique & not commonly found in any other ice cream shops I've been to. We had a double scoop of pandan & salted butter. We really loved the pandan ice cream, the flavour was really strong & true to what pandan tastes like!! I also have never seen pandan offered anywhere else. Definitely recommend this place.

My friends & I were just walking by & realized this opened in 15 minutes, & there wasn't a line yet. Thank goodness because once we got in line, it formed... & it was long. Their shop is one of Montreal's staples & I'm happy to say that they provide a few vegan friendly sorbet options. During our visit, they had wonderful tropical fruit flavors & you can split a small cup for the same price. Their mango was refreshing & a must try. Cash only! Make sure to bring them bills to pay for this delicious Vietnamese inspired ice cream.
We understand why this place is famous. The quality & flavor are consistently good. Most of the time, there will be a long queue, & it can be quite hard to find parking around. You can sit outside in front of the ice cream shop. Every two weeks, they have a new flavor of the season. We love the salted butter ice cream, soursop. The special of the week: Rose + Lychee + Raspberry, It's a beautiful blend, hope it can have it all the time.
Popular spot for ice cream. Ordered the vietnamese coffee flavour ice cream in a cup. Enjoyed it while sitting outside the shop. I believe they only take cash. They allow you to test try 1 flavour only.
The'Flavor of the Moment' at the local ice cream shop: grapefruit ice cream & strawberry sorbet. Who knew my taste buds wanted to start a summer fling this early? 🍦🍊🍓 #UnexpectedLove #SummerVibe
