Best ice cream in Montreal (somehow even better then iconoglace & kem coba). Weekly flavours have us coming back often. The cone pictured is Baklava/nectarine (so good). Worth the trek!

A delightful little gem on our street! The owner is warm, welcoming, & truly accommodating. The ice cream is top quality with a wide variety of flavours to choose from. She remembers me as'the motorcycle guy' & always manages to pack my sundae perfectly - even well past closing time. Truly remarkable service & a wonderful local experience.

Un petit bijou sur notre rue ! La propriétaire est chaleureuse, accueillante & toujours attentionnée. La crème glacée est de grande qualité avec un vaste choix de saveurs. Elle me reconnaît comme « le gars à moto » & trouve toujours une façon de préparer mon sundae dans un contenant pratique - même 25 minutes après la fermeture. Un service remarquable & une belle expérience locale.
Love this ice cream, might be the best in the province. Fancy unique flavours along with all the classics. I had vanilla chocolate swirl soft serve dipped in maple & I think I may have seen my ancestors. Can't wait to go back & try the other flavours.
I discovered this ice cream about a year ago & have been going consistently as it's a good ice cream shop in our neighbourhood & I enjoy to support local businesses & also Asian owned. Last weekend event left me bitter... We went around 8:30ish Sunday night. My brother & I both tasted two flavours each before picking up two medium sized ice cream cups. Usually, the cups are filled to the rim but this time, it was a smaller portion than usual. We didn't say anything & went to pay & get an extra spoon because I was sharing my ice cream with my husband who was waiting outside with our baby. The owner made a comment about us taking too much time, which we didn't & we had to fight to get an extra spoon. Despite the unusual service, we thanked her & left. We sat outside & the owner followed us to let us know that her spoons are 7¢each & we shouldn't have asked for another. Also she said that "asian clients usually taste a lot of flavours just to get a soft serve" which was not our case & also very judgmental & disrespectful of her to say that. Anyways, I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt & that perhaps, she was having a bad day, but this visit definitely left us with a sour taste.
The best creme molle in Montreal, hands down. Flavours change on a weekly basis. The owners are the sweetest & really care about their clients. Would give them 10 stars if I could!
After seeing the reviews, we decided to try it. Be prepared to stand in line for 10 minutes. Soft serves were great! Interesting new flavours & old classics like plain chocolate. Plus, you can add toppings. The dark chocolate covering is surprisingly rich. The menu is long & unfortunately, not very clear on what each option is. Plus the prices are located in a different area (near the cashier), I can understand why people take so long on deciding what to get & hold the line. There are some options to bring home but since they are located behind the cashier, it was difficult to see what was available. The line moves very slowly, there are only 2 people serving ice cream plus the owner/cashier. The interior is small & somewhat old, they made some renovations to make it social media friendly. There are some tables & benches outside to enjoy your ice cream but the line next to it doesn't allow you to have a quiet place. I'm not a fan of standing in line to get ice cream but if I pass by in the future & the line is contain within the store, I'll give it another try. Parking in the street is not easy. You'll need to check the streets nearby.
Delicious ice cream with flavours changes frequently (Vietnamese coffee, honey safran, pineapple basilic, passion fruit & green tea just to name a few). Friendly service. Great neighbourhood find. Don't let the line scare you, it goes by pretty fast!
This place has some of the best ice cream I’ve had in Montreal! I was completely amazed by all the choices of flavours & dippings, & everything is such great quality. Can’t wait to be back & try more!
