Reviews describe Wild Willy's as a busy yet beloved ice cream spot with a huge variety of flavors and popular sundaes, and the banana split is frequently highlighted along with vegan options. The shop attracts crowds, especially in the summer, but lines move quickly and the staff are often praised for friendliness and efficiency. The ice cream is widely regarded as excellent with many praising rich textures, creative flavors, and items like cakes and dog treats that can be ordered in advance. A few notes appear about occasional order mix ups, confusing lineups, and long wait times, and some locations have limited bathrooms. The atmosphere is described as welcoming and family friendly, with good service and a lively, local vibe. While most reviews sing the praises, there are hints of variability in portions and flavor texture on rare visits, but overall Wild Willy's stands out as a top pick in the area.
Wild Willy's 🍦is one of my favorite ice cream spots! It's usually busy, but the lines move fast so you're never waiting too long. The ice cream is always great. Lots of great flavours & sundaes too. My go-to is the Zigamazoo, a perfect combo of hard & soft ice cream in a cone. Definitely worth the stop.
Any chance we get we go to wild willys for ice cream! My kids love it there, even my dogs love going to get a special treat. Staff is only sweet & happy.

I went with my daughter last week. She went in while I waited in the car. I wanted a small frozen tofu. This is something I always enjoy from Wild Willy's. While delicious as usual, the serving looked like something you would give a three year-old. I was quite disappointed. I won't be going back.
wild willy's ice cream is pretty nice 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 be ready for the following: - insane line-ups (can loop around the whole block) - confusing maze-like line patterns (where am i supposed to stand)
Hello Wild Willy Owner, I have constructive criticism for your business! You are a very popular ice cream shop in Montreal, & it makes sense, your ice cream is great! I am a long time loyal client of yours that comes weekly. I collect the stamp cards. Usually when I give the full stamp card, I get my ice cream cone with the waffle cone & the flavour I want - no issues. However, last night, I gave my stamp card to the cashier & ordered a small frozen yogourt in a cup. I wanted chocolate on top. Because of this she charged me a 3$ difference(I've never been charged a difference before): I find this a weird business practice but okay fine(you should allow the customer to have something the same price as they usually spend). She hands me my fro yo, & it has a tiny amount of chocolate on it(everytime I order this, this issue has never happened), the ice cream wasn't fully covered in chocolate. I asked her to add more, & she replies saying: ill need to charge you again. I couldn't believe she said that to me after I just paid a difference. I don't feel like a respected & valued customer with that kind of business behaviour. As a loyal customer who constantly brings business & tells everyone you have the best ice cream in Canada, its very stingy of you. On average people probably spend about 7.50$/person on your ice cream(my guess), therefore you should also give that amount with the stamp card. It doesn't make sense for people to be spending a lot on your ice cream, & you expect them to get something cheaper with the card that they wouldn't usually get. Might as well increase the amount of stamps, & then give the customer a proper ice cream. Secondly, your lines are poorly managed. People come in through the third line & cut the people in the second line due to the tree being in the way. I really hope you can start to properly value your customers, because some business in Montreal who got very popular & stopped keeping their quality before hand, they are losing massive amounts of loyal customers. People speak to each other, bad practices get shared.
The Wild Willy's truck made our late night snacks at our wedding a huge success! We have been fans of the scoop shop for years & were pinching ourselves to have our own private service. Thank you to Cloé & team for making our dreams come true.
I grew up in Pointe Claire down the street from Wild Willy's. They have ALWAYS been the best homemade ice cream of anyone! I've since moved away & moved back, once again close to Wild Willy's! Their coffee soft serve is delicious! I go every week :P

Last visited Wild Willy’s in 2015 on our last vacation here & still as nice as it was then. Beautiful ice cream, nice staff & definitely worth a try if you are in town.
