Review Summary

Reviews describe Café Rì Yuè as a small, cozy spot in central Montreal near Place des Arts where fresh pastries and creative drinks shine, with standouts like matcha strawberry cake, hojicha latte, and yuzu cheesecake; the menu is varied and changes with the seasons, and the quality is consistently high, though the space can feel crowded and seating limited on busy days. Overall the vibe is charming and welcoming, with friendly staff and reliable desserts, but the intimate layout and occasional price considerations mean it works best for a quick treat or a casual meetup rather than a long sit.

Limited seating & no laptops allowed on weekends (valid!!) but this place is worth everything. Their matcha is outstanding 10/10. Friendly staff.

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!

I ordered a hot lavender matcha & it was rly good. It is a bit expensive, it was around 7.5$ for a small cup. The place is so very cute & cozy but it was very crowded, not enough seating. The service was good but it was a little slow. Overall, nice place, good matcha & good vibes.

It was a wonderful little coffee shop. It was nice & quiet & the decorations were simple & cozy.
The white hot chocolate was really good. The rose & cherry latte was normal & did not taste like advertised though. So I don't recommend it.
The tiramisu & the matcha cookie were also delicious. I highly recommend them.
Overall a nice place to visit!

One of my favourite cafes in Montreal! My go to is the matcha strawberry cake & hojicha latte. Their macarons are super unique as well! It is sometimes quite hard to get a seat as this place is very popular.

This super cute coffee shop is right next to place des arts métro. They make amazing coffee & even better desserts!
.
One thing not to miss are their giant macarons!

Des macarons absolument délicieux, aussi beaux que savoureux. Les couleurs vertes & les petits détails de Noël apportent une touche festive & élégante qui fait fondre le coeur avant même la première bouchée. Un vrai plaisir pour les yeux & le palais 🎄

Matcha latte est un peu trop sucré, mieux de diminuer le sucre.

Le matcha au lait d'avoine & chocolat blanc était bon, mais sans plus. Le gâteau chiffon matcha/fraise était très bon.

Il n'y a pas de service à table : il faut récupérer sa tasse au comptoir. La mienne était beaucoup trop pleine, & s'est renversée dans son assiette dès que je l'ai prise… pas très pratique.

Je suis venue à cause de TikTok, erreur de ma part : le café était bondé & très bruyant.

Super endroit.
Le service était très agréable. Nous avons pris un matcha & un chocolat chaud, tous les 2 étaient délicieux.
Attention, il y a peu de places assises, donc privilégiez à emporter. & ce café est assez cher pour ce que c'est.
Je recommande mais nous pouvons trouver mieux aussi

The matcha is terrible. The matcha chiffon cake is alright & not sweet which some people can appreciate. No outlets to charge your phone especially if you sit on the couches. I don't know how someone could do work here for more than 2hrs.

Cozy local cafe! Ordered to share between two people & it was plenty.
Strawberry Matcha Cake: Good matcha taste, not too sweet. Soft & tender. Could use more strawberry slices!
Tiramisu: lots of espresso powder, pillowy soft but still rich in mascarpone.
Noir hot chocolates: Tastes like the smell of Kilians Angels Share! For a hot chocolate, it has depth!

DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY MATCHA CAKE!! We dropped by one day to grab a coffee & 2 slices of cakes & it was so good, i had to order a full cake for my birthday! - You may do so on their website, it cost $49. We also tried a slice of the ube flan one but the flan was suuuuuper thin, you barely taste it. I wish it was equal parts flan, equal parts ube cake.

The interior of the cafe is super cute, small but still a nice cafe to hangout & yap with friends.

I love their matcha strawberry chiffon cake. Very light, fluffy, & huge, is worth it for the price. Macarons are cute! Me & my friends love going back for their cakes.

Nous avons commandé un matcha & un café au sirop d'érable, c'était très bon! Il y a très peu de table pour s'asseoir, ce qui est un peu l'inconvénient & l'endroit propose également des pâtisseries & l'accueil est très agréable.

Je suis relativement mitigée sur cet endroit.

En termes de place, le café était très agréable : plusieurs tables pour s'asseoir dehors comme dedans & il était facile de discuter. Le service était rapide & nous avons eu un bel accueil.
Les boissons & les patisseries sont très esthétiques, mais malheureusement le goût n'était pas au rdv … Le macaron n'avait pas vraiment de goût, ni le matcha. Le tout était vraiment très sucré. Le café était cependant correct.

Je recommande l'endroit si vous voulez des choses mignonnes, mais d'autres cafés seront meilleurs en termes de goût.

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.
