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.
DELICIOUS STRAWBERRY MATCHA CAKE!! We dropped by one day to grab a coffee & 2 slices of cakes & it was so good, i had to order a full cake for my birthday! - You may do so on their website, it cost $49. We also tried a slice of the ube flan one but the flan was suuuuuper thin, you barely taste it. I wish it was equal parts flan, equal parts ube cake.
The interior of the cafe is super cute, small but still a nice cafe to hangout & yap with friends.
I love their matcha strawberry chiffon cake. Very light, fluffy, & huge, is worth it for the price. Macarons are cute! Me & my friends love going back for their cakes.

Nous avons commandé un matcha & un café au sirop d'érable, c'était très bon! Il y a très peu de table pour s'asseoir, ce qui est un peu l'inconvénient & l'endroit propose également des pâtisseries & l'accueil est très agréable.
Il n'y avait pas vraiment de service. Les deux boissons étaient bonnes, mais le tiramisu n'avait rien d'un vrai tiramisu : très sec, avec une crème vraiment pas bonne. Le macaron, ça passe.

En termes de place, le café était très agréable : plusieurs tables pour s'asseoir dehors comme dedans & il était facile de discuter. Le service était rapide & nous avons eu un bel accueil.
Les boissons & les patisseries sont très esthétiques, mais malheureusement le goût n'était pas au rdv … Le macaron n'avait pas vraiment de goût, ni le matcha. Le tout était vraiment très sucré. Le café était cependant correct.
Je recommande l'endroit si vous voulez des choses mignonnes, mais d'autres cafés seront meilleurs en termes de goût.
They unfortunately ran out of their matcha strawberry shortcake & messed up our order, but they quickly rectified & corrected everything. The pastries are delicious & so are the drinks. Would 100% recommend.
This café is right near my office & has become my go-to spot. Their mocha coffee & pistachio croissant are my absolute favorites. The place has a warm, inviting vibe, perfect for a quick coffee break or to unwind. I love coming here!
