Overall, reviews describe Café Rì Yuè as a tiny, very cute and cozy spot with a charming vibe that can feel crowded and loud on busy days, making seating a common challenge but rewarding when a table opens. The menu earns praise for creative drinks and desserts, especially matcha and hojicha lattes, yuzu cheesecake, ube basque cheesecake, tiramisu, and oversized macarons, with some items such as the shortcake or the white chocolate latte receiving mixed notes. Prices are often mentioned as a bit high for the portion size, and a few guests report slow service or limited seating, though staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Location near Place des Arts adds convenience, and visitors frequently recommend ordering a slice of cake to go or bringing friends to enjoy the colorful pastries and decorative, light filled space.
Always my favorite place to go to☺? super sweet & lovely staff, amazing quality of food & drinks. The prices are very reasonable considering all their cakes & macarons are made there, & not just bought & refrigerated. The coffee & matcha they use is also super good quality, never a disappointment. Not to mention, their menu is creative, & changes with the seasons. I love trying everything new they get in stock. It gets super busy which is understandable considering the good service they provide, but it can be difficult to find a table during peak hours. I'll always recommend this place!

Cute cafe with lots of unique dessert & drink options. I was looking for an asian-inspired cafe & this hit the spot. Busy place if you want to sit because its popular.
Food & drinks are amazing! Great mix of sweet & savoury food options. I recommend the Dalgona latte. The staff are so attentive, the barista overheard me say I regretted ordering a cappuccino & she insisted on remaking my drink as a latte even when I told her she really didn't have to. She made my experience even better! I will definitely be back
I really liked their drinks & some pastries & cakes. They have big macarons! which are so cute… place is just a bit small & it gets crowded on busy days
I got a black sesame coffee & it wasn't very good at all… there was so many sediments at the bottom that i couldn't drink the last 1/4 of my coffee. Quite disappointed for the price.
However I have to say their yuzu cheesecake is really good.
🎀 Very cute! 🌱
Had the miso mushroom focaccia, which was delicious, almost got another one to go!
My boyfriend got the black sesame cheesecake & really liked it!
For the drink, we got the sesame café latte, which tasted okay. Served on a platter.
Very nice employees, they also have a beeper for when your order is ready, very convenient.
Cozy ambiance, with cute decoration & big windows, so a lot of natural light! We had a wobbly table top tho, it would move if we touched under & over, which was a bit annoying, but we weren't staying there long so 🤷 not a big deal, but would need fixing.
Definitely going back to try other drinks & their other baked goods!! 🎀
They unfortunately ran out of their matcha strawberry shortcake & messed up our order, but they quickly rectified & corrected everything. The pastries are delicious & so are the drinks. Would 100% recommend.
The food was amazing !! The macarons were about 4$ each but they are HUGE. They taste SO amazing. Soft yet firm (so it doesnt fall appart in your hands). The croissant was also amazing. The drinks were very tasty.
The vibes are so cute & the staff is so nice.
I recommend this place. 10/10

One of the rare places where the food & drinks are as good as they look. The tiramisu here is to die for! The lattes we got were also not too sweet, yet decadent nonetheless.
Nice café with a cozy vibe. Tried the cappuccino, pineapple-orange drink, & cheesecake - all were really good & fresh. Great spot to relax & enjoy a treat.
We stopped by here for a coffee break & ended up blown away by the offerings! The unique drinks are genuinely very well executed dessert drinks. Highly recommend the pineapple americano & the matcha cake.
The cafe can get kind of cramped as its pretty small but the patio is laid out very well.
Good matcha latte & other drinks. It's nice that they ask you if you want it without sugar. You can also go vegan by choosing soy, almond or oat milk. The cafe is very nice to sit in. The staff was super friendly.
Cute little cafe serving delicious & creative drinks & cakes. We got the ube flanc & the matcha strawberry cake. Both were light, fluffy & flavorful. The drinks were also very good. We tried the black sesame latte & the white chocolate matcha.
The cafe is very cute & cozy. There aren't a lot of seats. They also sell whole cakes if you preorder.
