Go to this spot to avoid the long lines ups at the NDG location!…read more Well it may no longer be a secret by the time you read this but at least here's another spot that you can depend on to satisfy your cravings for ice cream or sorbets to keep your spirits up during these hard times. Correction, one of the few places that serves delicious soft-serve flavours: orange creamsicle, passion fruit & taro, or s'mores or... ice cream by the scoop and by the pint of one of these flavours: taro, Viet coffee, dark chocolate, Nutella, coconut & pandan, cookies & cream, marshmallow, salt caramel, cantalope, HK Milk tea... or sorbets by the scoop and by the pint such as mango, strawberry litchi, lemon & yuzu, piña colada, and pear. If you are in CDN neighbourhood, and your looking for fresh and flavourful treats that tickles your fancy... this is the place to be!

They do not have the exact same flavours at every location so if you see something on their IG, make sure to find out where you can get it. Their fruit sorbets are standouts, as is their dark chocolate ice cream and salted caramel. I almost always try the special soft-serve ice cream that only lasts a week, and I haven't regretted it yet.

Kem CoBa was the last stop on a Mile End food tour I was taking. We had actually come (almost) full…read morecircle since we had stopped a place next door earlier in the tour - so I already had my eyes on this place from before. It looked cute, so I was glad to sample some of their offerings. From what I can gather, Kem CoBa specializes in specialty ice cream and sorbet flavors, though they also have a small selection of pastries as well. Specifically, they have unique flavor combinations that I had not seen elsewhere. We did not get to choose our flavor during our visit, which was okay as we got one that was quite tasty: raspberry lychee swirled with rose. I was a little hesitant about the rose at first but it wasn't overly floral and paired well with the sweetness of the raspberry. The ice cream was soft serve, and was super smooth. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with Kem CoBa. The ice cream was smooth and tasty, and the offer a product that is not typically seen in other ice cream parlors. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

The ice cream is very similar to Ikea's vanilla ice cream. Both my friend's and mine ice cream were not dipped well so by the time we walked to our cars everything was melting onto our hands.

People enjoy the experience of getting s personalized cone but I wouldn't say it's the best ice cream out there.

I decided to drop in today an encourage this great little local gem. Although i cannot taste the pastries since i am celiac i can tell they must be delightful, they are the fluffiest and lightest I've ever seen.

I also tasted the candies ginger/dark chocolate, orange peel/dark chocolate and the honey chocolate. Every single one was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend dropping for a freshly baked pastry, chocolate or a coffee... #ShopLocal #VSL

The drinks are expertly made and are ALWAYS delicious. The ice cream during the summer is artisanal and wonderful. And the best part: the people working there! Chefs John and Amanda are wonderful. All of the other folks working there are fantastic as well. It's a smaller place, but there's a few seats to enjoy your drinks. It's very mom-and-pop shop feel. The quality surpasses any other chocolate place in Montreal. The service is phenomenal and the people there learn your name! They're all so sweet (maybe it's all the chocolate?) My recommendations: truthfully, everything! But some of my favourites are the following : matcha latte, dark hot chocolate, the MOCHA!, and americano. Don't miss out on their chocolates and ice creams! During the summer they have incredible ice creams. My favourite are their fruit based ice creams especially the mango! They have fantastically unique flavours and it changes up every week! They also have fantastic soft serve as well.
