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.
super cute & delicious !! it's kind of small, so there's not enough room for everyone, but we came early so we got some room. important note : they only serve the jiggly cats after 1:30pm. I took off one star because of the price ; don't expect to have a great deal. the food is very cute & tasty but it's like 4$ for a single macaron :(
What better to do than grab some *fat* macarons when you are in a rush. There is this super cute cafe to satisfy your sudden macaron urge. The macarons are super original - the cream in between is thick & rich, but not crazy heavy. The matcha macaron is fantastic btw! Pictured here passion fruit smiley macaron.
Café offered Korean fatcaron, delicate&dreamy, not too sweet, not as soft as French macaron , because it come with filling , so a bit like eating a small biscuit ,crunchy !
Want to eat riyue's desserts everyday! Recommend their macaron, basque, matcha&strawberries, & taro cake Grapefruit green tea is also really good (if you don't like sweet)

Super sympa ! Ambiance cosy ! Des gâteaux trop beaux & pas trop sucrés ! J'ai pris un macaron fromage & bleuets & un gâteau au taro avec un cappuccino ☕️🍥🍰 (Je venais pour y travailler mais je n'ai pas trouvé la wifi, donc je ne suis pas sûre qu'il y en ai)
twice i have waltzed in last-minute to order a strawberry shortcake from these wonderful women, & twice they have accommodated my request with tender care & wonderful service. i have since learned to come in advance! i would march my way back immediately to enjoy the comfort of this beautifully decorated cafe, conveniently tucked away opposite the metro. i will happily continue to fritter my days away here in a cosy corner, sipping at their heartwarming coffee from gorgeous porcelain cups with my stack of paperbacks at hand. my go-to for the fixings of a celebration, or a sweet fix to tackle the remains of the day! my friends & i swear by their strawberry shortcake for special occasions.

Très déçue par ce café. J'ai pris un matcha qui était bon mais c'est la seule chose positive de ma venue. Les macarons même si très jolis étaient chers pour la taille, & en plus de ça ils sortaient du frigo donc la crème au beurre était glacée. Finalement on ne sentait que le beurre & rien d'autre. En plus de ça, j'ai attendu 20 min pour avoir un thé (que j'ai du demander à 2 reprises). Nous l'avons finalement demandé pour emporter car nous avions fini le reste & la serveuse s'est rendu compte qu'ils avaient oublié de nous le préparer. Très déçue à la fois de la nourriture & du service, je ne recommande pas.
Cakes are mostly icing as depicted on the photo, very little taro. Macarons aren't soft enough, but they are delicate & visually appealing. Tight space, but well-lit. Prime location, sits diagonally across Places des Arts.
