Hoche Glacé

Hoche Glacé in Montreal is hands down one of the best ice cream shop I’ve ever visited! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a delightful array of flavors that are both unique and incredibly delicious. The quality of the ice cream is unmatched - every scoop is creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. One of the standout features of Hoche Glacé is their fantastic vegan ice cream options. They offer a variety of vegan flavors that are just as rich and delicious as their regular options. As someone who tries to avoid dairy, I was thrilled to find such high-quality vegan choices. The staff is friendly and always willing to offer recommendations if you're having trouble choosing from their amazing selection. The ambiance of the shop is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy your treat. Whether you're a local or just visiting Montreal, Hoche Glacé is a must-visit for any ice cream lover. I can't wait to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommended!

Great sorbets. I got the passion fruit and strawberry basil flavours. I wish the basil was more prominent and the passionfruit had a few large ice chunks. However, both had strong and bright flavours. My friend got mango and that was a very nostalgic flavour. A bit pricey but large portions.

Good selection of ice cream/soft serve. We got an affogato and a blue raspberry slushie with vanilla soft serve, and both were good. The place isn't very big, but there is a bit of bar seating and some spots to sit outdoors on the patio. Street parking is available.

We saw the reviews on how good their pistachio ice cream is, but it wasn’t that « wow » It literally was matcha cream with pistachio nuts. It didn’t taste much of pistachio. Overall, we enjoyed the matcha ice cream but we tasted better ones. Good place to go check it out. 2 Ice creams for 17$ cdn.

Staff was so friendly and had a great experience. I ordered macha pistachio ice cream, it had a generous amount of pistachio within and it tasted sooo good. I ordered a medium size for takeout and she suggested to put it in a larger size cup cuz it was really warm outside. :))

As an English speaker I’m always nervous figuring out whether there are English speakers in Montreal. This place speaks English! The ice cream also was so delicious. Might be the best soft serve I’ve ever had. I had a classic vanilla soft serve that was bigger than I expected for a medium. No complaints. They are very busy but the line moves along very fast. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone, especially if you’re in the area for the biodome.

Great Soft Serve Ice Cream! Definately worth a visit if your around the Biodome or botanical gardens!! Salted Carmel was heavenly. Small outdoor patio for seating as well!

Very popular neighbourhood ice cream place in the summer. Great vegan and regular ice cream.

Hoche Glacé is an amazing ice cream shop. Probably the best in Montreal. Very high quality ice creams, soft serves and sorbets. The selection of flavours is awesome. The staff is very nice too.

There is no wrong type of weather for ice cream. We go rain or shine... Or storm. And that's what we did. We made our way to an industrial looking area of Hochelaga and the understated facade of @hocheglace. Sorrounded by a wide outdoor seating area (which we couldn't use... because rain) they have quite the extensive menu with many flavours and sizes of superb ice cream and toppings, sorbets, slush, lattés, frappés and even coffees!

I've been looking for a great soft serve vegan/gf ice cream and i have found it!!! With the recent heat wave my search has intensified and found great little place that serves all kinds of goodies. I have to admit it's a little further than i would like but it's probably better for my waistline anyways. I will def go back a couple of times this summer to give their other concoctions a try. Back again this year, i tried the flavor of the day Matcha soft serve with dark chocolate coating....absolutely delicious, so glad to be able to have ice cream being lactose intolerant, will definitely return this summer!!

THIS PLACE!! I come basically every time I'm in Montreal -- their vegan soft serve is great, but the dip really makes them stand out. It's way thicker than at other places I've visited. I really want to try their vegan froyo at some point.

The shop is adorable and the concept is genius. The ice cream is great but the brownie was so dissapointing, it was dry and lacked chocolate flavor! I've made and had so many gluten free brownies and this one is defenitely the worst I've ever had. The banana score icecream was good. I'll try going again one day to taste another flavor. I hope to update this rating!

A wide variety of vegan flavours, including hibiscus soft serve and several dips! I loved the vegan soft serve, it was full of natural fruit flavour (and the consistency reflected that). It was sweet but not in an overwhelming way. Location close to Viau metro

I love this place. Its twice I come here so far. The first time I tried vanilla vegan ice cream "Tourbillion" with Reeses Pieces and Cookie Dough. The ice cream was really tasty and felt light. If you're wondering what vegan ice cream texture is like, its more like frozen Milk vs frozen cream. Its actually really delicious. If you love thick ice cream, vegan might not be what youre looking for. Today I tried their " Parfait " with regular dairy ice cream. I was Very very satisfied. The chocolate syrop is delicious and so was the ice cream itself. Great and quick service too!

After a long day of walking around the botanical gardens this place was just what we needed! The cherry slushy and vanilla ice cream with salted caramel sauce were both delicious! The staff was friendly and spoke English (we were traveling from Philadelphia) and there was indoor and outdoor seating.

Cool concept-crèmerie with some vegan options , but you must repeatedly specify that you want vegan-we had to have a tourbillon remade over some confusion. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't really clear where to order or wait. Hopefully in a few months they'll be more organized!

Certainly off the beaten path, but we loved Hoche Glace. We recently visited Montreal from NYC and basically tried to eat as many vegan things as possible. The options here were great and the staff seemed totally knowledgeable, despite some other reviews to the contrary and the fact that we cannot speak French. I loved the hard-shell topping and thought the ice cream was great! Totally similar to other vegan soft-serve I have had in many other places.

I only tried the vegan ice cream, so if you eat dairy you can take this review with a grain of salt. I was really excited to try a place that offered vegan ice cream in multiple forms - blizzards, banana splits, sundaes, etc, but unfortunately the form of the dessert couldn't make up for its substandard quality. The vanilla vegan soft serve tasted mostly like sweetened water. Its consistency was icy and it melted almost immediately (much faster than other non-dairy ice creams, including soft serves, that I've had before). I realize that they're new and probably testing out their menu at this point, so I would definitely give it a second chance if they offered something else - possibly coconut based ice creams? If nothing changes though, I unfortunately won't be returning.
