Unicone treats soft serve like a passport. Each week, sisters Yasmine and Sara Atouk roll out a new flavour inspired by desserts from across the globe—think tiramisu, kulfi, ube, or baklava. This family-run Plateau spot keeps the format simple but playful: a rotating “Nomad” cone, a few mainstays like vanilla and chocolate, and both dairy and vegan options made fresh daily. The milk is local, the cones are made with care, and the approach is as much about storytelling as it is about taste. A background in marketing and environmental studies doesn’t scream ice cream expertise, but the sisters’ love for travel and homemade sweets shows in every swirl. The small storefront on Saint-Denis leans soft pink and plant-life minimalism, with the occasional ice cream cake or stuffed cookie for good measure. For anyone craving something new each visit, Unicone’s globe-trotting menu makes the return trip worthwhile.
