Crèmerie Dalla Rose

A Truly Unbearable Experience at Crèmerie Dalla Rose How dare you unleash such utterly delicious creations upon an unsuspecting public? I came, I saw, and I was promptly overwhelmed by the sheer audacity of your flavors. My plum caramel ice cream was, and I say this with the deepest possible sigh, absolutely divine. It possessed that perfectly balanced sweetness, a subtle tang from the plum, and a caramel ribbon that was so unbelievably rich it ought to be illegal. Seriously, who needs joy and satisfaction when you can be subjected to such unmitigated pleasure? I barely managed to suppress a groan of delight, which, frankly, was quite inconvenient. And then there's my girlfriend, who, in her infinite wisdom, chose the dark chocolate. Not too sweet, she said. Not too sweet? It was a masterpiece of cocoa intensity, a velvety smooth dream that made me question every life choice that hadn't led me to that moment sooner. Her eyes practically rolled back in her head, a clear sign of the extreme discomfort caused by such an astonishingly good flavor. Honestly, if you're looking for bland, forgettable ice cream, steer clear of Crèmerie Dalla Rose. But if you're prepared to face a flavor profile so perfectly executed it might just ruin all other ice cream for you, then I suppose you must endure the torture. You've been warned.

Something about the zig zag soft serve is sooo satisfying! I love coming here when I’m in the neighbourhood, but I’ve also gone 20-30 mins out my way to stop by (yes, it’s that good). They have delicious flavours. Recently tried the roasted pistachio and it was 10/10. Still, the soft serves have my heart. If you’re dairy-free, they do have a few options. A must try in Montréal 🍦

It’s my favourite crèmerie in Montreal. I’m not a big fan of twists, but this one was amazing. It feels like an orange sorbet with an excellent vanilla ice cream, everything in one twist cone.

Went for the first time this week end. There was a queue all the way outside but the wait was not long at all. The menu looked interesting with flavours I had never heard about. Like thyme, olive oil and ricotta. The server graciously let me try it and it was not to my taste. They did not have any fruity flavour except lemon so I took that. I think it’s maybe not the season yet for fruity flavours and I hope the menu changes but otherwise it was really good.

I think this was the best icecream Ive ever had! The contrast between textures and perfect balance of flavours and mouth feel. Very impressed and really really good. You can taste the quality. Sad to leave mtl because I can’t have this again lol

Second time here, and I’m still impressed! They always have new and creative flavors to try. This time I had the Arthur’s Cookies and it was absolutely delicious. Always a treat coming here!

Always a treat! I love the diverse flavours; it changes often enough to keep you on your toes and yet never disappoint! Big fan of their unique twist of soft ones. Great staff! It’s a summer must!!

Nice place. Ice cream was good. I ordered a sugar cone with pistachio and maple walnut ice cream.

Came here on a weeknight very late after dinner for a snack and surprisingly was still very busy though most people took their dessert on the go. We were able to stay and enjoy the playlist while we ate our desserts. They have a wide selection of unique flavors. I ordered the tahini which is vegan, as well as the honey floral which complimented each other very nicely!

Tasty lemon sorbet ! Also had the twist soft service in waffle cone and chocolate coconut cream! Small lineup but quick service!

It's been a couple years but I always make sure to visit Crèmerie Dalla Rose. The service wasn't the most helpful but at least we were able to sample a few flavours (when we asked). Not sure why they no longer label what each flavour is in their display case. There was 11 ice cream and one sorbet flavour to choose from along with soft serve, granita and sundae. They also have their cookies and ice cream sandwich options. Prices have jumped significantly; $6.00 (single), $8.00 (double) and $9.00 (triple). Yikes. - Double ($8.00) - we went with the chicha morada sorbet (Peruvian purple corn drink) and blé d'inde du Québec (corn). The chicha morada was delicious. The texture was a little runny but man on man, it was refreshing. The corn (my previous favourite here) was good but not as creamy as I remember. Still quality at Dalla Rose but it's no longer a cheap spot.

First ice cream stop of the trip was at Crèmerie Dalla Rose. There was a dozen ice cream & sorbet flavours. Scoops are $6.00 (single) to $9.00 (triple). We shared a double scoop ($8.00) of chicha morada sorbet and Quebec corn. The chicha morada was bursting with flavour but a touch runny. Corn was solid. High quality, interesting flavours but be prepared to dole out the dough. Would try the granita next time.

Normally it's very good. But today I decided to try the coffee and cardamom which sounded delicious, it was not, basically just tasted like cardamom flavored sugar. Almost no coffee flavor at all. I will go back as I know many of their other flavors are good but I guess I'll just stay away from any of their vegan offerings in the future.

There is something very special about making classic flavours so perfect and cremerie dalla rose does exactly that. The exquisite mix of quality ingredients and toppings with superbly luscious ice cream is wonderfully balanced. Don't be surprised to see us here many, many more times.

Got there in the evening and there is no much choice left. We ordered Earl Gray, Hazelnut and Tiramisu, but disappointed after tasted 3 flavors that are ALL too sweet. Can't even taste the tea flavor in Earl Gray because of the sweetness, which we think it is not a good thing...If you prefer light sugar then this place is not for you, that was the sweetest ice-cream we've ever tried, they ended up in the garbage because we just can't finish them

Good, bit of a lineup usually. Not a huge variety of flavours, but some good ones in the mix. Maybe a bit overrated?

On a refusé de me parler en français Chez Dalla Rose. Pas le moindre effort. Donc, je n'y retournerai jamais.

It has a trendy vibe, the kind where you wait in line for a good 15 mins just to order and everyone in line looks like a hipster. There were 4 nondairy choices. The vegan chocolate coconut one was great but nothing out of the ordinary. I tasted the peanut butter (too peanut buttery) and mint chocolate (too minty) If you only opt for 1 scoop you can't "mix" flavors also the portions were arbitrary (husband's scoop was a good 25% bigger than mine). Now here comes the WEIRD part: I hear the ice cream is home made from quality ingredients however NO ingredients were found on their website or at the store.

I love this ice cream store! You can pick different types of cookies (peanut butter, chocolate chip, and coconut) and make your own ice cream sandwich, which is awesome! The staff was friendly and let us try a few flavours. They even have unique flavours like corn on the Cobb! And they even have vegan ice cream! I ended up taking the matcha vegan ice cream and damn it was good!! It tasted a bit like coconut too. I will definitely go back!!!

This ice cream shop is very good. They rotate the ice cream flavors. I've tried the cookies and cream and caramel one. So good!

Omg delicious ice cream. Stumbled in on a spontaneous food crawl of St-Henri and chose the cookies and cream flavour in a cup for $5. There were actual pieces of their baked cookies inside the ice cream - it was amazing! I would go back and try a cookie ice cream sandwich next time. -- Went back and got an ice cream sandwich - phenomenal! I also went back yesterday and got a scoop of their vanilla and one of their salted caramel. HOLY SHIT. Yummers - so creamy and rich in flavour. $5 for a cup with 2 flavours. Will be returning.

Hmm the ice cream is alright but I was really turned off by the staff. I came in on a nice summer day and asked the ice cream scooper if vegan ice cream was healthier than regular ice cream. Innocent enough right?! Well I guess he was offended because he was extremely rude to me and proceeded to serve the next person in line. Wth. Needless to say I've never been back.

I am going to start off by talking about their ice cream, which earned them 5 stars. I was about to buy a scoop of their cookie flavored ice cream when it sold out. In it's place, they had corn ice cream. My immediate reaction was oh god no, but I tried a taster of it and was instantly sold on it. So good! Sweet, great texture and unique ice cream. I was so impressed. Considering the last ice cream I had was from Dairy Queen, this was a huge, huge step up. My husband got plain vanilla and was very pleased. My friend had the coffee flavor and said it was delicious. I tasted hers as well and it was a really nice strong coffee flavor. They had a ramen pop up too, which was the original reason for our visit. I'll start by saying I am not a huge ramen fan or expert. My husband is the ramen lover. I really enjoyed how the pork was cooked but the egg was a bit sweet for me. It was overall good but I preferred their ice cream.

Oh god SO GOOD! Many unique and original flavour choices available. They tend to have a few new options every time, so you're best to try every flavour thats interests you, because they may not be there the next time. (No complaints here, bring it on! ) There is also always a couple vegan options too which is amazing, they're coconut based and really really good. Fresh gourmet level cookies, which are irresistible. The only problem is that you'll probably want to try EVERYTHING. Can't wait to go back!

It may be October but the weather is still warm enough for one last ice cream before winter weather hits and we don't crave it. For one of my last ice creams of the season it seemed appropriate to try a new place that I had been meaning to go to all summer, Dalla Rose. Owned by the same people who bring you Nora Gray they are using locally-sourced organic dairy products to serve up delicious ice cream. The shop is fairly small and simple. They have a handful of ice cream flavours as well as ice cream sandwiches made using cookies that they make themselves. On this visit I went for the S'more and Cookies flavours. Both tasted really creamy however the S'more flavour tasted more like just plain chocolate. The price for the cone is $5 which is reasonable. I'll definitely be back in the future to try more!

What a nice surprise having this sneaky little gem appear around the corner this week! It opened three days ago and I can assert that last night, on our second visit, the place was already packed like sardines. Don't let that deter you from a visit however- the lines move fast enough and the product is amazing! Of what I've tried so far (peanut, strawberry, sesame, coco vegan and keffir lime) there wasn't a lame flavour, nothing was overly-sweet, and you can tell that this handmade ice cream is from some quality ingredients. What's more is that you can take any two of their handmade cookies with any of their ice creams and fashion a GIANT ice cream sandwich. My only mild criticism is that it is on the pricier end of the spectrum for ice cream, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Vegan note: on our second visit, with the place packed, the person who had served us the first time recognized us, remembered that my partner was vegan, and tucked away the last of the vegan ice cream for him so that he could still enjoy a VEGAN ICE CREAM SANDWICH, despite the line ahead of us. Gold star service, folks.

A new spot for ice cream, I've tried the vegan chocolate with strawberry, it tasted weird.....maybe I should try the other flavor next time...

I scream for their ice cream! Dalla Rose is the new up and coming Ice cream store situated in St. Henri. Conveniently located between Rustique Pies and Arthur's Nosh bar. Already they've earned a lot of points due to their location. It just so happens to be in the middle of two of my favorite places in Mtl. Once you walked into Dalla Rose, you will be most likely charmed by two lovely gentleman who happen to be the owners and talented hands of their wonderful ice cream. Due try to keep your focus on their store and the many flavour choices you have to choose from. Yes, the owners are also delicious looking and funny as well. What I truly appreciate about their store is their strong focus on quality ingredients, dedication and unique flavours. Mind you, they are not absurd flavors such as other low quality fluorescent, artificially flavored ice cream chains. When I'm speaking about unique, I meant corn flavoured ice cream(Delicious!) Coco Matcha and Blueberry. Their flavours may change according to the season. They also focus in using seasonal ingredients. Which I love! If you are vegan.. Continue reading my review! Dalla Rose has many wonderful and vegan friendly ice cream. Although I'm not vegan, I have tried a few of their flavours and I couldn't tell one bit of a difference whether they were vegan or not. Now... Did I mention you can customize your own ice cream sandwich with a variety of their homemade cookies?! Oh, yes you can! You select two cookies and a scoop of the flavor you desire and you have a melt in your mouth, buttery, ice cream sandwich. However! This is where I will express one negative comment in regards their ice cream sandwiches. The last time I tasted them, I found their cookies to be a bit too crunchy. They lacked a great deal of chewiness. Which made it quite difficult to eat with my hands since the cookie kept breaking each time I took a little bite of it. Luckily I didn't mind having many cookie crumbs and drips of ice cream all over my hands and pants. However, at times it was a bit of a uncomfortable challenge taking a bite of it. Will that overly crunchy and hard cookies stop me from going back again, and again? Absolutely NOT! I can assure you of that. Especially since their chocolate ice cream is amazing! Imagine a deep, intense, sweet chocolate mousse made into an ice cream. Yes, that is how good it taste. You can noticeably tell that they use a good quality European cocoa, which I'm a huge fan of! It certainly highlights the taste of chocolate. Overall Dalla Rose is something I often look forward to during the Summer time. Sitting on their bench or nearby side walk, watching people walk by with their dogs and children. Dalla Rose adds a perfect and creamy touch to the St. Henri neighborhood.

Heard lots of hype about Dolla Rose so decided to check it out one evening while in St-Henri. Great boutique, nicely located in front of the park and the line moves very quickly. I tried their 70% dark chocolate and sesame ice cream. Both were delicious, sharp flavor and creamy! I definitely think Kem Coba is better for the same price but Dalla Rose is an excellent choice for residents and visitors to St-Henri.

Cute, neighbourhood ice cream shop best known for their custom ice cream sandwiches. Selection of both cookies and ice cream seems small at first glance but I can guarantee that you will find something you like! Pro-tip: Skip dessert after brunch / lunch at Arthur's Nosh Bar next door and save room for an ice cream sandwich at Dalla Rose! To eat: Sunflower seed ice cream with ginger molasses cookies. Spicy and caramel-ish cookies went amaaaazingly well with the not-too-sweet nutty ice cream. To know: Only standing room inside the shop. Wonderful little park across the road but beware that eating an ice cream sandwich outdoors in 30+ C can be a rather stressful experience... Grab extra napkins!

I scream for ice cream. The ice cream here is too die for and it's open all year around! They change their flavours on a weekly/bi-weekly basis so you got to keep on going to try out all their flavours. I'm always pleasantly surprised with the flavours they have (wild lavender, blueberry, strawberry, coconut chocolate, vanilla, pistachio). Do yourself a favour and try the pistachio! It was the best pistachio ice cream I have ever had in my life. No food colouring or random pistachio flavouring!!!!

Best ice cream in montreal. Homemade, creamy and delicious. Perfect for a hot summer day

Dalla Rose serves up ice cream, cookies/baked goods, or a combination of both: an ice cream sandwich *drool*. Their flavours are unique and rotate regularly. I opted for their s'mores ice cream - the ice cream itself was creamy and had a subtle marshmallow flavour, and there seemed to be graham cracker and chocolate chunks in it. It was amazing - I wish I could try all the flavours. They also have vegan options. The space is bright and the service was really friendly. My only regret is not getting an ice cream sandwich - I'd definitely go back to try one of those.

This quaint little ice cream shop also happens to serve ramen but I'm here for their homemade ice cream in flavours like corn, coconut lime with lemongrass, and classics like chocolate and vanilla. The ice cream is so good! Best part is they can assemble an ice cream sandwich with their homemade cookies on the spot! Pick your cookies, pick your ice cream and voila; Perfection! Although there is very limited seating, a terrace was going up this weekend! You can also grab their goods from the freezer to take home. I'm in love with their coffee flavoured ice cream so I'll be back!

Love their Earl Grey ice cream! I'm always scared of getting this flavour because some places like to douse it with lavender... not a fan. But Dalla Rose manages to get a great balance.

I'm no ramen expert however, my meal was delicious. Like, delicious delicious. The broth had the perfect intensity of miso flavour with a tiny tiny zing to it. The noodles were expertly cooked, and the vegetables fresh. I don't even like mushrooms and I ate every single one. The protein option is just right, to boot. We both finished our bowls and were the feel good level of satiated (not too full, and totally satisfied). Haven't tried the ice cream yet, but I hear great things.

Cute little ice cream place in St Henri with cool flavors and extremely generous portions. Not impressed that in order to get two flavours you have to get two scoops of an already extremely generous portion but otherwise all good. Is it the best ice cream I've ever had? Not really... but it's not half bad! A-ok in my books!

Holy Shiii! Great flavours that keep changing, and delicious ice cream. I don't have a longer review, just try it!

They have a selection of about 8 ice creams (not gelato), and I believe the flavours change daily. I had a small cup of coffee and vanilla ($5), both of which were very pleasant. There are also a few cookies, etc to accompany your ice cream. Recommended.

On our visit to this ice cream shop upon a recommendation from a friend we came away very happy. They serve ice crew either in a cone, cup or with cookies. We tried the coffee ice cream - very good flavour and very filling, and the cookie flavour, also good flavour and very filling. They also sell locally made soft drinks which are quite tasty. A great spot in a neighbourhood that has lots of great places to eat and getting more by the day.

This is probably the best vegan ice cream in Montreal. It's a small place that has about 10-12 flavours at a time, half of which are vegan. (The cones are vegan too.) Everything is homemade so the flavours are super unique and change regularly. I've seen rhubarb, coconut-yellow-watermelon, and matcha, as well as more typical flavours like peanut-butter-cookie and chocolate. I've tasted so many of them and have yet to try one I didn't like. Since the ice creams are coconut-based, they're creamy and satisfying and don't suffer from the icy/watery fate that many soy-based desserts do. Dalla Rose also sells cookies, two of which are vegan (peanut butter and gingerbread) and at least one is gluten-free. This means that they do ice cream sandwiches! The only thing I would change is that (like another reviewer mentioned) you have to buy two scoops to get two flavours. Since the quantities are quite large (and also not cheap, especially with added tax & tip), it's never been appealing to me to get two scoops. So many of their flavours would go great together though (matcha + chocolate!; rhubarb + coconut!), so it's really a shame they don't have the option of splitting one scoop, as many other ice cream places do. Other than that, it's totally amazing.

The vegan ice cream was very good. The service was not the friendliest. The menu was in French so I felt the staff was annoyed because I didn't understand.

Best freaking ice cream. Very creative flavors too, but they work so well. Even the vegan flavors are creamy and have a beautiful texture. Definitely helps that a beautiful and friendly man scoops and serves your ice cream. Absolutely recommend stopping in.

Favorite ice cream in Montreal, no doubt. Their coffee ice cream is amazing. It's made with 49th parallel coffee!! Service is always great too.

OVERPRICED and mediocre. Went to grab ice cream sandwiches with friends. Was shocked when they were $7 each...yes actually $7. Had this been delicious it would've been fine but the cookies were hard and very average. Gonna call hype on this spot and pass. There are way better options in the neighborhood for treats.

Summer time in Montreal is a great time to be here - beautiful weather (for the most part), great festivals and outdoor activities to enjoy. Summer time also means ice cream and the need to have some great ice cream shops to enjoy. Down in the sud-ouest, there really haven't been any creameries of note save for Glaces aux Havres by the Atwater Market, however that has changed with the opening of Cremerie Dalla Rose in St-Henri. Started up by two alumni of Nora Gray, Michael Dalla Libera and Nick Rosari, Dalla Rose is located on Notre-Dame Ouest which may now be my favourite strip in Montreal food-wise - next door to Rustique, Tuck Shop, Adamo, Arthur's (visit to come very soon!), Bar de Courcelles and Tejano. The parlour is a simple walk-in counter service - a sparse but bright room (liked the tile work on the floor to create the queue line) with no seating inside and a relatively small menu on the wall. You have the option of either ice cream by cone, by cup or inside a sandwich using in-house baked cookies. You can also just order the cookies without ice cream. Dalla Rose uses organic dairy products for the ice cream and the flavours apparently will vary from week-to-week and season-to-season. Regardless of the flavours I tried, I found the ice cream to be rich, creamy and very smooth in consistency. At the same time, it feels firm enough. When the ice cream is put in the middle of the cookies for the sandwich, the ice cream isn't so soft that it melts away too quickly. You don't have to rush your enjoyment of the sandwich. On my few visits over a couple of weeks, I tried a few different options. First, I tried a cup of both kaffir lime leaf and Quebec strawberry ice cream. The strawberry ice cream has a great flavour that feels both strong but natural. It doesn't overwhelm. I really enjoyed the lime leaf flavour as well - the lime is tart but nicely subtle to the point of surprising me. Lime ice cream is often very overpowering but this was more refined. Very nice. On another visit, I tried the classic vanilla and chocolate flavours. The vanilla was very nice - the specks of vanilla bean telling you you're getting the real deal - sweet and almost milky. The chocolate was nice and dark in color - tons of chocolatey goodness. A perfect pair as they should be! On my second follow-up visit, I decided to get a sandwich of cookie ice cream between a set of vegan peanut cookies. The cookies were stiff enough to hold the ice cream but soft enough to actually make it possible to eat the sandwich as an actual sandwich - instead of the usual "suck up the ice cream and then eat the softened cookies" afterwards. Liked the flavour of the peanut cookies and the cookie ice cream - great vanilla with pieces of cookie mixed in. Dalla Rose is a great addition to the sud-ouest. Summer still has a ways to go so when you are walking around the Canal or elsewhere in the Sud-Ouest, don't forget to walk over Dalla Rose for a scoop. They will cool you off nicely! Cheers!

This is a lovely addition to the area, will be back!! The flavours are fresh and genuine tasty recipes. A pleasure to be in such a great atmosphere.

Amazing! You have to try the coffee flavoured ice cream.

Absolutely best ice cream in Montreal. This is a place demonstrates an expertise with the ice cream science and a commitment to high quality. A really treat. I recently enjoyed the fresh strawberry which was brilliant and complex. The pistachio was the best I've ever had. Chocolate is solid of course. The make good cookies and these pair well for an ice cream sandwich. Also they always carry a few vegan choices that are quite good. Regardless of the outside temperature I stop here every trip to Montreal now.
