Anabelle Berkani wanted to open a creamery to break the mould. That’s baked into the name Iconoglace, a nod to iconoclasts, and into the shop’s wild-card menu of small-batch soft serve, rotating sundaes, and unexpected combos like kombucha floats and maple-water slush. Since launching in Petite-Patrie in 2023, the shop’s built a following on flavour and craft alone: every cone, every swirl, every crumble is made in-house. The Mile End location, with its double kitchen and kid-friendly setup, lets Berkani push further—Middle Eastern–inspired flavours, full sundae narratives (think pistachio cake and rhubarb compote), and a deep seasonal rotation driven by curiosity and quality. Four vegan options are always in the mix. Expect lineups, but not repetition—unless a flavour’s earned its comeback. This isn’t nostalgia ice cream. It’s a reinvention, led by someone who treats dessert like a cinematic experience: immersive, unexpected, and meant to be remembered.
