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.
It has become my daughter's favorite coffee shop. The cakes are a must-try-except the tiramisu 😅 maybe another time. It's a lovely place to meet a friend (not a group), as the space is small. During the summer, it's almost always full.
Cute artistic & cozy environment, homemade desserts with adorable designs. My coffee & Tiramisu were fantastic. The sugar level in Asian place is always milder. Service was friendly & efficient. Seats are limited & sometimes you may need to accept sharing a bigger table with other guests. Space between the tables could be a bit close & tight. But I like the vibes here.
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.

When I walked in the place was crowded & tiny with no bathrooms, I had to ask someone to share their tables with me. Thankfully it was one of the worker who was finishing his break that freed a table for me.
The Asian lady who took my order was frustrated that I didn't understand her accent & explanation about the three types of shortcakes that they offered. It was written on her face how impatience she got with me. The cake was just a simple sponge cake layered with normal whipped cream & strawberries very average. Coffee late was good. I usually don't write bad reviews but it was really a disappointment from service to food.
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
