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.
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. People praise the quality and balance of flavors, the absence of ice crystals or crunch, and the sense that the flavors are unique and crafted, even noting some seasonal flavors sold out at times. Several mentions highlight good value for the portion size and a reliable summer pit stop in a busy area, making Ripples a go to for ice cream lovers who appreciate both traditional treats and quirky, craft flavors. While a few reviews mention price increases in recent years, the overall tone remains positive about the ice cream, variety, and experience.
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.
In my opinion one of the best ice cream spots in MTL. Curious flavors, but everything is really good. Great location, easy walking. Staff was helpful & friendly despite being very busy. A must try!
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).

Probably one of the best ice cream parlour in all of Montreal along side Kem Coba. This place is great & it is now located next to Moishes Steakhouse (which is also a legendary restaurant). I definitely recommend this ice cream place since it has everything for all taste buds. Whether it's a mango sorbet or something sweet, you would have the right ice cream for you. Definitely stop by over here at their new location!
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!

Thank you Ripples for the best ice cream eating experience we've had in our lives. Very friendly staff. They were playing MGMT & Alex G so that's always a plus.
