Bouza

Bouza brings a different kind of scoop to Montreal—dense, elastic, and rooted in Middle Eastern tradition. Opened in 2019 by two brothers chasing the flavours of their childhood, this ice cream shop builds its product from scratch using sahlab and mastic, giving it a signature chew that sets it apart from your standard soft serve. Classic flavours like achta with pistachio, rose water, and mango sit alongside more playful options like cotton candy, Oreo, and banana chocolate chip. Everything’s handmade with natural ingredients, and it shows. The texture is rich, the flavours run deep, and the presentation goes beyond cones: think pancake bites, Nutella-stacked fruit bowls, or their seasonal Hot Bouza. For those looking to take the experience home, grab-and-go pints and curated six-scoop boxes make that easy. Bouza isn’t just dessert—it’s a reminder that ice cream doesn’t have to follow the same formula to hit just right.
