The team behind Pâtisserie Mélilot didn’t have room to grow—so they built a new space next door and turned it into a creamery. Atelier Mélilot, in Outremont, channels the same ethos as the bakery: simple ingredients, careful technique, and a love of sharing good food. Run by pastry chef Aurélien and co-owner Clémence, the space offers a rotating selection of soft serve, often flavoured with their signature mélilot, paired with dark chocolate or inspired by their famous kouign-amann. There’s a steady focus on seasonality, and the frozen dessert lineup expands during the holidays with things like bûches glacées. Designed in collaboration with Sarah Pelletier, the shop is also built for families, complete with a playful kids’ corner and bold, welcoming design. But nothing here feels overly curated. Atelier Mélilot is less about flash, more about feeling at home—with a cone in hand and a little bit of the bakery’s magic frozen into every bite.
