Dans l ensemble, les avis décrivent Café Rì Yuè comme un petit endroit très mignon et cosy avec une ambiance charmante qui peut être bondé et bruyant les jours d affluence, les places assises restant limitées mais le plaisir vient lorsqu une table se libère. La carte est louee pour ses boissons et desserts creatifs, notamment le latte matcha et hojicha, le cheesecake au yuzu, le cheesecake basque au ube, le tiramisu et les macarons genereux, certains elements comme le shortcake ou le latte au chocolat blanc recevant des notes mitigées. Les prix sont souvent juges un peu eleves par rapport a la portion, et quelques retours signalent un service lent ou peu de places, bien que le personnel soit regulierement descri comme sympathique, attentif et arrangeant. L emplacement pres de Place des Arts ajoute a la praticite, et les visiteurs recommandent souvent de prendre une part de gateau a emporter ou de venir entre amis pour profiter des patisseries colorées et de l espace lumineux et cosy.
I was looking for a really good strawberry shortcake & I was served !!! 😍🥰 The cake was incredible, one of my top 3 to be honest !
I was scared to go in the late afternoon, but I was super happy that almost all the cakes were still available. So I tried almost all of them. I think the ube one was missing.
I really love matcha, so I was really happy to try the matcha strawberry cake, & the lavender matcha latte was AMAZING. One of the best.
The macarons were CRAZY too.
The prices are reasonnable for a coffee shop in Montreal. The inside was cute as well.
I took the cakes to go, & I bought A LOT.
But if you go for a drink & a slice of cake, it would be around 15$.
My favourite asian café / bakery in Montreal. Every cake I've tried so far is absolutely delicious.
I'm usually not a fan of macarons, but their'fatcarons' are amazing, the flavour is very present & it lasts for more than just 1-2 bites.
My favourite cakes are the ube basque cheesecake, it's rich & creamy & tastes a lot like Ube & the matcha/strawberry cake, it's super light & not too sweet.
Their miso/mushroom focaccia is also a must for me.
Their drinks are also on point, last time I tried the matcha/lavender einspanner, it was delicious.
Also a great spot to order yourself a full cake for any occasion.

The place was nice, but it had limited seating available.
Initially, I got a seat outside, but the chair was locked with a cable & could not be moved. It made sitting a bit uncomfortable; & the outside table was a bit dusty.
However, the cake was delicious, not overly sweet; & my drink was innovative.
The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars & not 5 is because the coffee we ordered had a slight fishy smell as well as the cake I ordered (that is not in this picture) did not have a crazy taste to it. Apart from that, the cake in this image (strawberry & matcha) was one of my favourite cakes EVER! I'm definitely coming back here to get a whole one for my birthday! Not only that, but the staff is always super nice & the drinks were super yummy too!
I've come back multiples times & their macarons although expensive are so good!
Very nice cafe, right outside place des art station !
Be cautious on the weekend, the place can get full quickly (fortunately, there are tables outside in spring/summer)
Also, there is a no laptop/studying rule in the weekend, so be mindful 😌
Loved the macaroons they were so so good !
I'm a bit passion fruit lover, so I was truly satisfied with the desserts & the drinks !
Best drink & food I've had from a cafe in a while. Server was extremely nice as well & the prices were good! Got a drink & banana load for $10.
100% recommend the lavender matcha!
I absolutely love this cafe! Not only is it super cute in the interior the staff make you feel welcomed.
I ordered the
Matcha Chiffon Cake
Matcha cookie
Matcha latte
Cafe latte d'Osmanthus
Pain au chocolat
I find the pastries to be a perfect sweetness as its not to sweet & i really recommend the cake & the cookie it was delicious! If i was able to buy the recipe i would thats how good it is. The drinks weren't anything special but i did enjoy it
I 10/10 recommend this place & the location is close to the metro as well!
Best matcha latte I've had in the city. I tried the white chocolate one, it was not sweet at all. Just a nice hint of mellowness from the white chocolate. On the very first sip, I knew my drink was made by somebody who understands how to work with matcha. I will definitely return to try other things!

Asian style cafeteria with interesting drinks & desserts. You'll definitely have trouble picking what to get!
Good work place during the week, since on the weekends no laptops are allowed. It is quite small so you might not find a table.
It can feel a bit cramped, but it's good enough for a few hours.
Strongly recommend the macarons, strawberry cream cake & the ube basque cheesecake!
(Do not recommend black sesame latte, it's just thick & tastes like plain vanilla).
This place was always full of customers when I passed by which means I had to try it. Good thing I did because the desserts & drinks were not only tasty but also very cute (you're paying 8$ for a piece of cake but what wouldn't we do for the aesthetics). Friendly service & nice vibes!

It was a a very nice looking interior, not much space when busy but I managed to find a table. The food was very delicious, not overwhelmingly sweet, which I enjoy. I ate the brownie with the cold matcha drink with white chocolate which was very good but not much matcha flavour, but still very delicious. Overall 8/10! Will come again soon ❤️
I got a coffee & a hojicha & I will say that the coffee is good enough. It is nothing special but at least it's passable. The hojicha on the other hand was very disappointing. It's really lacking in flavour, sometimes you get a hint of tea flavour but hojicha should really not taste like this. Also expect to get very small drinks. There is nothing for me to come back for unfortunately. The location (place des arts) is very accessible & easy to find so no wonder it's so famous. It's always packed so don't expect to find anywhere to sit. At least the staff is very friendly :)
I really liked the cakes & drinks. Everything is so pretty & nothing is too sweet & I'm sure it appeals to a lot of people! (I could've had the cakes a little sweeter though personally 😋) The staff was helpful & friendly. My only real complaint is that it felt quite crowded & so squeezed - but it's a small, popular cafe so I guess no one can do anything about that.
