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.
I really liked the cakes & drinks. Everything is so pretty & nothing is too sweet & I'm sure it appeals to a lot of people! (I could've had the cakes a little sweeter though personally 😋) The staff was helpful & friendly. My only real complaint is that it felt quite crowded & so squeezed - but it's a small, popular cafe so I guess no one can do anything about that.
Café moins sympa depuis la rentrée : les parts sont plus petites ... La carte a changé pour du banal. Ou est passée la tisane au juzhu qui avait tant de succès?
The staff is always super kind & helpful. I've been multiple times because i couldnt get enough of the strawberry matcha cake! I've tried a few of their cakes & I really appreciate how they aren't super sweet & decadent. They are on the lighter side, making you want more!! Easily one of the best cakes I've had👌🏾
Everything looks creative & cute as for the taste is very delicious, the lady at the counter was very kind. I order one & each of the macaron they had available & they were all good .
Such a lovely space! Loved the macarons, blueberry cheesecake & hot chocolate. The place was crowded & it took some time to get the order. However, it was worth the wait! 🤩 Would definitely recommend!

Adorable cafe in a super convenient location! The matcha is perfectly whisked & can come without sugar:) the raspberry litchi macarons was delicious & not overly sweet either.

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.
J'adore ce café! J'habite loin de Montréal & pourtant je me retrouve toujours là, à chaque fois que je visite! La nourriture est délicieuse & l'ambiance simplement féérique🧚. Je suis juste un peu déçu, car je voulais me prendre un jiggly cat, mais on ma dit qu'ils n'en faisaient plus😭. Je n'ai pas eu la chance de goûté... Mais je recommande 100% d'y aller.
