ICONOGLACEB-Worth Trying

1320 Rue Bélanger, Montréal, QC H2G 1A1, Canada · Ice cream shop · 4.7/5 Google (1905 reviews)

Takeout

Creative ice cream and sundaes with many vegan options, fast service, and big portions; expect lines, sweetness-forward flavors, and moderate prices.

Why it gets a B- for overall quality

Iconoglace delivers excellent creative sundaes and bold soft-serve flavors with friendly, efficient service that keeps lines moving fast. However, inconsistent execution—sour soft serve, rubbery toppings, occasional off-days— and isolated but serious safety incidents including a metal fragment prevent a higher grade. It's a fun neighborhood destination for adventurous dessert lovers willing to accept occasional quality variation.

Restaurant Summary

Lines curl out the door for this neighborhood dessert shop, where counter service stays fast and friendly even on hot nights. Expect big, photo-ready sundaes and a cheerful patio scene. One guest summed it up: "The line looked long but we had cones in minutes." Sweetness runs high and creativity is the draw. The cooking ethos is playful and contemporary—soft serve, affogatos, and rotating twists that feel seasonal and inventive rather than traditional. Flavors skew bold and toppings generous; portions are huge, so sizes like mini or petit help. Most visits are excellent, though a few noted off-days or coffee quality dips, so think fun over finesse. Families are well served: classic twists, floats, and a backyard patio make it easy to linger. The menu includes many vegan options and some gluten-free variants, but allergy needs require clear communication since one review cited a vegan mix-up—verify components at the counter for peace of mind.
