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.
Best matcha latte I've had in the city. I tried the white chocolate one, it was not sweet at all. Just a nice hint of mellowness from the white chocolate. On the very first sip, I knew my drink was made by somebody who understands how to work with matcha. I will definitely return to try other things!
Asian style cafeteria with interesting drinks & desserts. You'll definitely have trouble picking what to get!
Good work place during the week, since on the weekends no laptops are allowed. It is quite small so you might not find a table.
It can feel a bit cramped, but it's good enough for a few hours.
Strongly recommend the macarons, strawberry cream cake & the ube basque cheesecake!
(Do not recommend black sesame latte, it's just thick & tastes like plain vanilla).

Super cute & adorable spot the christmas vibes right now are charming & the service is excellent. Everything well served & polite employees. I ordered a Pistachio croissant & a white chocolate hot matcha latte.. let me tell you they are both Amazing ❄️ 10/10 recommend for cute date or to hang out with friends
Très belle découverte ! Le iced matcha white chocolate latte étais délicieux & les macarons d'halloween étaient adorables. Personnel sympa & rapide. En revanche, l'espace du café est assez petit donc le peu de tables qu'il y a sont vite prises, il y a quelques tables en terrasse pour la belle saison.
I had chai latte & strawberry matcha cake. Both were decent. Strawberry matcha cake was moist & not too sweet, which was a plus for me. The staff were really kind as well. It was pretty packed as it's not spacious, but for some reason I felt relaxed☺️ highly recommend!
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.

Such a cute Korean cafe in downtown Montreal! We loved the vibes & aesthetics here. We got a hot Osmanthus latte, hot Hojicha latte & yuzu passion fruit sliced cake. All of them were really good, my favorite was the osmanthus. The cafe was quite quiet & calming so my partner & I really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend giving them a try.
I recently moved to the area & wanted to grab a coffee on my first day at my new apartment. Discovered this hidden gem right next to my apartment & I was truly amazed by the cute decor, the great ambiance & the friendliness of the staff! Tried their iced latte & it was exquisite🤩 Café Rì Yuè will definitely be my daily treat & I recommend it to everyone 😍
I love the look & atmosphere of this cafe. It is soo pleasant well decorated. I was surprised the flowers on the table were real. I took the mango puff & dalgona latte. Not only those tasted good but looked good. I love how the flatware, plates, & glasses look so dainty. I will go back again for sure.
Favourite cafe in Montreal, cute interior with a small well decorated patio, good coffee, nice latte arts & high quality matcha latte. I recommend their dalgona latte, & their tiramisu is also very good made with fresh espressos. 10/10 recommend.
Superbe endroit pour prendre un café, un latte ou autre accompagné de magnifiques patisseries (croissants, scones, gateaux aux fromages, macarons ...).
Went for some dessert snacks since friends have been recommending this place & i absolutely loved the macarons!! my faves were the matcha one, the passion fruit one & the lychee one. each macaron is 3.50 dollars but they like fat & so good. strawberry cake was kind of bland but still good! the osmanthus latte was also delicious & sweet & the hot chocolate was huge but really comforting & perfect amount of sweetness the people serving were also so sweet 🙏🙏 It took a while to get a seat which is expected because it's the weekend, would've probably been less packed if we went during the week
