About Kem CoBa

Kem CoBa is an ice cream shop on Fairmount in Mile End. It makes its own ice creams and sorbets, plus pastries with Asian influences that set it apart from a classic parlour. The flavours often draw on Southeast Asian ingredients alongside more familiar favourites.

Kem CoBa suits anyone strolling through Mile End on a warm day, from families to friends sharing a cone after a bagel run. It fits neatly into a summer afternoon in the neighbourhood, between a bookstore stop and a walk to the park. Go with an open mind and try a flavour you would not find elsewhere.
