| - Small, cute and cheap - I'm in love! I stumbled upon this small cafe while touring Montreal. The decor is very IG-worthy with its palette of pastel colours, framed pictures of dolled up ice cream and the oh so selfie-worthy front display. This front display consists of a pink road bike and a multicoloured platform for people to take photos with their desserts in front of the store. Unfortunately, it was raining, so I didn't take a shot at the front display, but it's on my bucket list for the future.
The prices here are very fair for being in a tourist area. You get soft serve dipped in chocolate for 3-5 dollars depending on the size you get. The sizes are very generous as well since I felt that my medium sized cone was almost akin to a large. Their ice cream flavours are limited, but they have a whole plethora of chocolate dips, including Ferrero Rocher chocolate, caramel chocolate, peanut butter chocolate, Oreo chocolate, dark chocolate, etc. Even though the ice cream choices are limited their dips add a kick to the flavour. This is because the chocolate dip hardens almost instantly, leaving you with a nice chocolate shell to bite into to get to the soft serve core.
I got the hazelnut soft serve in medium with a peanut butter chocolate dip and my bf got the hazelnut soft serve in the smallest size with the Ferrero Rocher dip. Both were seriously bomb and were one of the best soft serves we've ever had. If I didn't have a lunch to go to, I would have grabbed a second cone!
My bf also had a mochaccino and it had a deep coffee flavour that melded well with the chocolate undertones. He admits this was the best mochaccino he's ever had as it didn't feel artificial at all and had a good balance between the chocolate and coffee notes.
We were thoroughly impressed with the coffee and iced desserts at this cafe. When we are back in this niche of Montreal, we'll be hitting it up again!
