Local List: Best Ice Cream Around (Plateau/Villeray)



Happy first-day-of-summer!

Can't think of a better way to ring in the new season than with scoop (or three) of the best ice cream in town.

These are my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Rest assured, I know my freaken ice cream. You're in good hands. Don't forget your lactaid ;)


TRENDY

Kem Coba (60 Fairmount W.): Number One. Frankly, this is the best ice cream on the island. 
Les Givres (334 de Castelnau E.): Creamiest soft serve around. 
L'Armoire A Glaces (6220 St. Hubert): Interesting flavors. Love building an ice cream sandwich.

TRADITIONAL

Ripples (5554 Jeanne Mance): Homemade hard ice cream. PERFECT strawberry, PERFECT mint chocolate chip. They make popsicles, too!
Le Patio (836 Mont Royal E.): When you want a double-scoop of Super Kid but Laura Secord is nowhere near. Also, their scoops are GENEROUS.
DQ (4604 Parc): Sometimes you need to get basic with a blizzard or a chocolate dip.

HONORABLE MENTION

Gema (6927 St. Dominique): I recently ordered a chocolate/vanilla twist with cherry topping from their window. It. Was. Excellent! (And expensive.)
Bilboquet (1600 Laurier E.): Their sorbet is incredible. Blood orange, strawberry, and lemon are my flavors of choice. Josh is a big fan of pear.
Ca Lem (4223 St. Dominique): They might have hooked me with the watermelon soft serve. Will have to do more research ;)

Places I still have to visit in the neighborhood: Monsieur Cremeux, Swirl, Unicone.

Here's to a season full of frosty treats! Would love to hear how you are ringing in the new season :)
