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.
Le café mocha est est cute & très bon, pas trop fort, ni brulé. Le Foccacia au miso & champignon est délicieux. Le brownie est super, la texture est parfaite. Les macarons & certains breuvages sont un peu coûteux.

The food was amazing !! The macarons were about 4$ each but they are HUGE. They taste SO amazing. Soft yet firm (so it doesnt fall appart in your hands). The croissant was also amazing. The drinks were very tasty.
I tried their tomyum foccacia (so good!!) & matcha macaron (8/10).
I think their tomyum foccacia could be more flavored throughout more, but overall it was unique & I could really taste the tomyum! Though I didn't expect it would be good, but wow it was a strangely good combination!
Their macaron was a bit too'fat' for me😆 the filling is a bit too big to chew😅 but the macaron crust itself was excellent. I tried their matcha macaron.
Convenient location & hours! Desserts are very cute & delicious. Tried their hochija latte with white chocolate & soy milk - did not taste the chocolate, & the soy milk brand was not delicious.
The coffee was also barely lukewarm - strongly recommend to mention it to the Barnstable to make your order hot to enjoy flavor fully! :-)
They have free water, can dine on site with cute cups, or can take to-go!
J'ai pris un ice américain à l'ananas + une foccacia misonet champignons + un macaron framboise litchi.
Belle vitrine, personnel calme serein chaleureux & prend son temps pour expliquer les choses.
J'ai aimé tout ce que j'ai pris. Zéro faute. Je recommande l'endroit !
I'd like to forget this place exists because that cake was exactly what I wanted I'll turn into a blimp if I keep going back for more.
Great vibes, the table we were at encouraged mingling & I was just a bit disappointed no one came in the time I was there… so I'll have to try again some time :)

Stumbled upon this place & so glad we did. We tried the hojicha latte with dark chocolate & it was amazing. Also had a slice of the light & fluffy taro cake. The owner is so friendly & genuine, I highly recommend visiting here!
One of the rare places where the food & drinks are as good as they look. The tiramisu here is to die for! The lattes we got were also not too sweet, yet decadent nonetheless.
Nice café with a cozy vibe. Tried the cappuccino, pineapple-orange drink, & cheesecake - all were really good & fresh. Great spot to relax & enjoy a treat.
A charming coffee shop in the middle of the city! As soon as you enter, you travel in time & place! it makes you wonder how fast & slow things are going! Coffee & pistachio macaroon are awesome! tbh everything is! must try
Si vous voulez goûter des vrais desserts asiatiques, c'est là. Service rapide, sympa, atmosphère parfait pour papoter mais pas pour travailler. C'est assez petite la place.
Par rapport au dessert c'est bon, ce n'est pas cher du tout. Je vous conseille de prendre le latté hojicha.

Nice cafe, tasty croissant & latte. However, i cant give 5 stars to a spot that doesnt provide a washroom even for paying customers. It is also a bit tight i think it would be better if they took away a couple tables.
We stopped by here for a coffee break & ended up blown away by the offerings! The unique drinks are genuinely very well executed dessert drinks. Highly recommend the pineapple americano & the matcha cake.
The cafe can get kind of cramped as its pretty small but the patio is laid out very well.
One of the BEST cakes I've ever had! The matcha strawberry cake had such a light, fresh cream, & the flavour of the Ube cake made our room full of friends take turns saying'Mmmm' 👌 Would highly recommend!
