Serving homemade ice cream since 1984, Ripples has a vast selection of interesting, colourful flavours to suit all palates. Montrealers have grown to enjoy warm sunny days and summer nights by strolling along the Main with a scoop of Ripples creamy ice cream, delicious frozen yogourt, or thirst-quenching sorbet.
Across these reviews, Ripples comes across as a beloved local ice cream spot known for homemade, creamy textures and a wide range of flavors, from classic French vanilla and chocolate to distinctive options like kulfi, halva, ginger, fennurose, and rose, with seasonal choices sometimes sold out. Many visitors note the quality and lack of ice crystals, a clean and cute shop with a counter for inside seating, and friendly, attentive staff who offer good service. The portions are described as generous, with even the smallest or kid size offering ample ice cream, and there are non dairy options and a variety of cones; a perfect warm weather pit stop. Several reviews praise the flavors as inventive and sometimes hard to find elsewhere, though some mention price increases and occasional flavor shortages, yet overall the experience is regarded as top notch and memorable. Ripples is described as a must visit for ice cream lovers, with a reputation for delivering consistently high quality across a broad flavor lineup, including favorites like hazelnut, coconut, and halva.
We came across Ripples ice cream shop while walking around town. It was a pleasantly warm afternoon & an ice cream break sounded like the perfect afternoon pick me up. Ripples had a variety of flavors & some were definitely intriguing. We were interested in their rose & kulfi flavors that were unfortunately sold out, but also done for the season. Instead we tried two classics: French vanilla & Chocolate 6x. Both were good & you can taste that they were homemade. No crystals or crunchy bits in this ice cream.
There's a counter you can sit at if you want to eat inside.
AMAZING!!! So many flavors to choose from. The waffle cone was excellent, & the quality of the ice cream was great. The shop is also very cute. Decent price for the quantity. A perfect place for a summer pit stop.
I was quite impressed with this place, ice cream shops have gotten very pricy but the serving size here was a pleasant surprise. Even the smallest size or the kids size has ample ice cream. The flavours were also very good, they have a wide variety from the standards, some really original ones & some fruity ones. You also have a choice of cones & great service to go along. The location is great as this is one of the more popular areas in Montreal, so you do not need to go far.
An unassuming Montreal icon of handmade ice cream in a range of flavours. My favourite is the Fennirose, a sugary floral delight. Past flavours of the week have been vintage classic Tiger Tail & trendy Vietnamese Coffee. Don't let summer on St.-Laurent pass by without grabbing a sugar cone here, at least once.
Excellent service & super ambiance ! Le personnel est chaleureux & attentionné - on m'a demandé mes préférences avec le sourire. Un vrai plaisir à chaque visite, je recommande sans hésiter !
