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.
Ripples is praised for homemade, creamy ice cream with a wide range of flavors, from intriguing options like rose, kulfi, halva, ginger, and fennurose to classics such as French vanilla and Chocolate x; the textures are smooth with no crystals, portions are generous and prices are reasonable, making it a perfect summer pit stop, though some flavors sell out and seating can be limited; the shop is cute and clean with friendly service, and non dairy options and sorbets are available for variety.
Great old school ice cream! Portion was very generous & the staff were really nice! I went in late summer & next time I pass by they were already closed for the winter! Will definitely come back!
I was passing by this place on 4th May & saw a huge rush there. Went inside & had an ice cream- ngl it was so so delicious. & I wanna appreciate the lady that was managing the whole crowd with such a great service.
Absolutely amazing & unique ice cream flavours, including some delicious Indian-inspired options. I tried the 6x Chocolate & Coconut both were fantastic. They had run out of Kulfi when I visited, but that's definitely next on my list to try The staff were also very nice & friendly which made the experience even bette
I stumbled into Ripples almost by accident & left already thinking about when I'd come back - always a good sign.
The Chocolate 6X had been hyped up to me, & it absolutely delivered. Rich, dense, & deeply chocolatey - the kind of scoop that makes you slow down & enjoy every bite.
The Coconut was recommended by the person behind the counter, & it was exactly as described: fresh, not overly sweet, & with a really clean, natural flavor.
Great ice cream, friendly service, & definitely a spot worth returning to.
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.
