Review Summary

Café Rì Yuè comes across as a small, cozy and visually charming cafe near Place des Arts, beloved for inventive drinks and beautiful pastries that range from matcha and hojicha lattes to yuzu and ube cheesecakes, macarons, and other delicate desserts, with many reviews highlighting the quality and presentation. The vibe is intimate and welcoming, with plenty of natural light and cute decor, but seating can be limited and at times the space feels crowded, sometimes requiring customers to share tables. The staff are frequently praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though a few notes mention variable service and occasional delays or mix ups. Prices are sometimes described as a bit high for the portions, though the menu of full cakes is noted as convenient for celebrations. The cafe is repeatedly recommended for a quick coffee break or to meet a friend, and fans celebrate its desserts as not too sweet and beautifully crafted, with standout items like the matcha strawberry cake, yuzu cheesecake, and white chocolate matcha drinks. Overall, Café Rì Yuè appears to deliver a consistently cute and tasty experience for dessert lovers and matcha fans, even as space limitations and occasional service quirks keep it from being ideal for larger groups or longer study sessions.

4.5 stars. Very nice, cozy cafe to relax in. I had a tasty chai tea latte & the staff was nice enough to take photos of me. I will definitely come back & try other things.

Les pâtisseries sont incroyable que ce soit au goût ou au look 👍🏻 ambiance cute & cozy. Pas trop sucré pour les gens qui aiment ça léger. Ils vendent des gâteaux sur leur site web mais il faut précommander 2jours à l'avance. C'est juste dommage qu'il n'y a plus grand choix pour la commande de gâteau entier & même pour la taille du gâteau. J'achetai toujours le bento cake au durian petite ou grande taille dépendant de l'événement. Mais ça reste une bonne pâtisserie & je recommande 😁

A very cute & cozy little cafe & pastry shop. Their matcha was good & they have a few Gluten Free options as well. It's a bit tiny & it can get crowded easily, we had to wait around 15minutes for a seat & some of the pastries were already gone by 4pm so keep that in mind.

The ambient is cozy, the place is a bit crowded with the tables being a bit too close to each other, but overall nice. This time, we had Jasmine green tea & Café Latté d'Osmanthus & Mushroom Focaccia (I'd say they were pretty good), but I'm more excited to try their desserts next time!

What a cozy little café! It's a very popular place so the seats are often taken. They sell coffee & cake to go for those who can't find a seat. I tried their Hojicha Latte. It was very nice. I liked the fact that they didn't put sugar in it. My niece had the Osmanthus Coffee Latte. It was so sweet that she could barely drink any of it. I guess that latte is for people with a sweet tooth. I loved that the lattes were served in nice vintage cups & saucers with a tiny golden spoon. We also tried 3 different cakes. My favourite one was the taro cake. The best by far. The matcha basque cheesecake was very flavourful. You could really taste the matcha. However, it was kind of heavy so I didn't finish it. The Thai tea chesnut cake was quite dry & we could barely taste the Thai tea. I don't recommend that one. The prices were a bit high but I feel you pay for the vibe of the place. Many students study here.

Really love the cozy & cute vibe at Café Rì Yuè. Staff are really lovely, & of course the baked goods are both adorable & delicious. I've tried a couple of the cakes & all of the macarons & enjoyed them so much!
