Overall the reviews describe Ripples as a favorite Montreal ice cream spot known for homemade, creamy textures and a wide, inventive flavor lineup that includes Kulfi, Halva, Ginger, and a floral fennel-rose option, along with classics like French vanilla and Chocolate X, plus sorbets and non dairy choices. The shop is noted for generous portions, a cute vibe, cleanliness, and friendly service, with seating at a counter inside for casual tasting.

While a few reviews mention price increases in recent years, the overall tone remains positive about the ice cream, variety, and experience.
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.

This place was amazing!! It had awesome homemade ice cream that had such creamy & nice flavors. If you go I would bet the salted caramel & the 6x chocolate. I thought the chocolate was going to be too rich but it wasn't. It was delicious
Small icecream shop with a tons of flavors to choose from. There was only 1 staff on a hot Friday afternoon. There is a big line for icecream so I felt bad for the employee because she has to scoop & take payment for everyone. There are so many flavors, traditional mostly but some unique creative ones. They also serve coffee & slushy. I got the rum raisins & ube white chocolate flavors, which came out over $6. The ube white chocolate was very meh, it is actually taro flavor & not ube, did not get the white chocolate much. Rum raisin was okay, this is a classic that not many places have. The icecream quality is average, actually a bit icy & not very smooth creamy.
This cute spot is definitely worth visiting if you are an ice cream lover! I would really recommend their'6x Chocolate'. If you are a chocolate lover like me, then this one is for you!! I also tried the'Raspberry Cheesecake' recommended by the staff. & it was lovely, too! The service was warm & friendly. I really enjoyed the visit & the AMAZING Ice cream!!

Cute shop with lots of ice cream flavours. We enjoyed vanilla (extremely creamy but pretty sweet), chocolate 6x (probably their most popular, sooo chocolaty with big chocolate chunks), & cappuccino chip (not so sweet but packs a lot of coffee flavour).
Where else can you get HOMEMADE halva (tahini + chocolate), rosewater, kulvi (cardamom + nuts), ginger, litchi, matcha, mojito, & grapefruit ice creams Generous portions @ 5.50 for 2 scoops. Now in a larger location!
