Located on Boulevard Saint-Martin West in Laval, Bouza stands out with its frozen creations inspired by the flavors of the Middle East. While people may come initially for the ice cream, they often return for the delicious frozen desserts and pastries.

Bouza’s specialty? Its stretchy ice cream—a signature texture in the Middle East—made using mastic, a natural ingredient that gives the ice cream its pleasantly elastic consistency. This unique texture makes every bite distinctive and truly delicious.

Among the standout flavors, Ashta deserves special mention. Made with milk, sugar, mastic, and delicately infused with rose water, it’s topped with crushed pistachios for a refined, well-balanced sweetness. Other favorites like pistachio and baklava are also on the menu, along with classics like mango and blackberry. And don’t miss the ice cream wrapped in cotton candy—it’s a must-try!

Beyond ice cream, Bouza also offers kunafa, a traditional dessert made with filo pastry, cheese, and rose water syrup—definitely worth discovering. Their cakes and other frozen desserts, all homemade on-site, add an artisanal touch that reflects their commitment to fresh, high-quality products.

You can also find Bouza at Marché Central in Montreal and at Carrefour Laval. It’s one of our top picks for the best ice cream in the city.
