Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

I've bought the most delicious chocolate+coffee cake from him once.

The filling didn't have the same texture and taste as the typical French pastry shops and the croissant shell was so so.

Even though it was cold, we still stopped in for ice cream and the ice cream was terrific. A different take on a sundae with a hard chocolate shell, that shell is nearly impenetrable (even the thin layer) but was so good even by itself. And good ice cream too. Come and stop in! FOOD: The chocolates were good but not the best. See's Candies in California is so much better for flavor and variety. But we did love the look of them and the options they offered. The ice cream though is next level. Never had anything like it with that hardened chocolate shell. And even though it was tough to get through, it was delicious. I couldn't finish even a small one! So don't go too big unless you're sharing. SERVICE: Everyone was super nice and the portions were HUGE. Definitely they do it right here. COST: The chocolates were too expensive but the ice cream was a bargain! Definitely would go back if I'm in Montreal.

The waffle was hot and delicious! The soft serve I personally found too sweet, but the fresh strawberries were a great topping. The service was efficient and friendly. Not a lot of room in the store, it's more of a grab and go kind of place.

Iconoglace absolutely deserves the hype…read more The menu is a little overwhelming if you don't speak French, but once you figure it out, there are a ton of unique creations you won't find at a typical ice cream shop. We ordered the L'Ouragan du Sundae. It's vanilla soft serve with lemon curd, olive oil, homemade shortbread, and raspberry compote. I honestly couldn't taste the raspberry, but everything else worked incredibly well together. The lemon kept it bright, the olive oil added a subtle richness, and the shortbread brought a great buttery crunch. It felt more like a thoughtfully composed dessert than just ice cream with toppings. The real star is the soft serve itself. It's ridiculously smooth and creamy. My girlfriend isn't a big dessert person and doesn't like things that are too sweet. After one bite she looked at me and said, "This is the best ice cream I've ever put in my mouth." That's probably the strongest review I can give. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and I'd happily wait in line again. If you're visiting Montreal, I'd put this near the top of the dessert list. Easy 5/5.
