Hoche Glacé doesn’t mess around when it says “house-made.” Every swirl, scoop, and frozen slab cake is crafted on-site in its Hochelaga workshop, with a menu that hits all the bases—classic dairy, bold vegan soft serve, fruit-packed sorbets, and gluten-free options that don’t feel like compromises. Flavours lean comfort-heavy: think cookie dough, raspberry-Oreo, or apple crumble layered into cones, cakes, and sundaes. There’s also a legit coffee program for those looking to pair their dessert with a caffeine fix. A view of the Olympic Stadium comes with the territory, and their active social media feed keeps the neighbourhood up to speed on new releases and returning favourites. Whether you’re vegan by choice or just chasing something cold on a hot day, Hoche Glacé is a reminder that dietary restrictions don’t have to kill the vibe. It’s a local staple with serious range—and plenty of reasons to come back.
