Crèmes Boboule has been a summer constant in Verdun since 1979—long before the neighbourhood was on anyone’s radar. Known for its classic soft serve and unfussy charm, this spot pulls in loyalists for everything from swirl cones to hard scoops and frozen yogurt blended with real fruit. Vegan options aren’t an afterthought here: caramel-vanilla swirl cones get rave reviews for texture and taste that hold up against any dairy version. It’s the kind of place where there’s always a line but the staff moves it fast, and where regulars show up nightly for a cone on the walk home. Whether you’re into sundaes stacked with fudge, biscuits, and caramel, or just want something simple to beat the heat, Boboule covers the spectrum without complicating it. No frills, no hype—just decades of doing the basics better than most. Verdun wouldn’t be the same without it.
