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.
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
Le macaron était délicieux, je reviendrais pour goûter les autres...... Le cheesecake manquait de Cheese mais apprécié pour son crémeux. Très bon accueil, bonne ambiance & service.
Belle adresse. Les macarons sont trop sucrés & la ganache (garniture) pas assez travaillée. Je recommanderais une amélioration à ce sujet. Pour ce qui est du gâteau chiffon mangue ; il est bon & pas trop sucré. Le tiramisu est bien aussi. Bonne expérience overall.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience. Les boissons étaient très bonnes & plusieurs choix disponibles pour ceux qui ne boivent pas de café. Les pâtisseries étaient excellentes & pas trop sucrées. Un lieu à découvrir. Espace un peu restreint, il peut être difficile d'avoir une table selon l'heure & la journée, mais tout peut être prit à emporter.

My first time going there & i was a bit disappointed. The cold yuzu honey tasted like water & the rasberry litchy macaron did not taste much like litchy. The service was good but i wish the cashier wasnt alone on a rush hou
It's a very nice, pretty small coffee & pastry place near the metro next to a dépanneur ! I really love the decorations in the store & enjoy looking the environnement!! Friendly service, I took a match latte with a banana bread that was relatively affordable in term of price ! It was a very soft banana bread taste in a small portion & the matcha drink taste pretty good too!!💚💚💚 I wish they had more place to sit down in store but it's okay! I eat outside & it was a light breakfast 🫶 Will come back again in the futur to try their other pastries they have available because the cake looked so good !!
Very cute & quaint little coffee shop with a selection of fresh & appetizing desserts & very nice staff that took the time to make us delicious drinks. We had a smooth & velvety macha latte, a warm & not bitter coffee latte as well as french macarons with cute designs! Very enjoyable !!
Lovely place with a cute kawaii vibe. Excellent coffee from Myriade, amazing dessert (the brownies are great!). Crowded & short staffed though, so expect some waiting time & overwhelmed waiters.
I walk past this place almost every day & it was quiet for a long time. I haven't tried all their snacks, but the ones I have tried are very nice & not too sweet. Unfortunately, they are a victim of their own success. They posted a very popular dessert & are now very busy & sell out of things quickly. Still, it's a cute cafe & worth a visit, just be prepared for that aspect.
