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.
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

🎀 Very cute! 🌱
Had the miso mushroom focaccia, which was delicious, almost got another one to go!
My boyfriend got the black sesame cheesecake & really liked it!
For the drink, we got the sesame café latte, which tasted okay. Served on a platter.
Very nice employees, they also have a beeper for when your order is ready, very convenient.
Cozy ambiance, with cute decoration & big windows, so a lot of natural light! We had a wobbly table top tho, it would move if we touched under & over, which was a bit annoying, but we weren't staying there long so 🤷 not a big deal, but would need fixing.
Definitely going back to try other drinks & their other baked goods!! 🎀
The store is not big, there are around 8 tables for 2
But the overall atmosphere & decor are very cozy & cute
We ordered both latte are nicely presented & taste very goood
The yuzu passion fruits cheese cake is super appetizing & open up your palette for sure
& my fav was the crème brûlée macaroons 🥰😁
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!
