Rockaberry reviews present a mixed but generally positive picture, with friendly and attentive service in many visits and a strong reputation for pies and desserts. Pies and desserts are frequently praised for flavor and portion size, with the apple crumble and key lime pie noted as standout options, though the apple crumble has been undercooked on some visits. On the downside, some dishes such as a tuna wrap or simple salads can feel dry or lacking in flavor, and service can be slow or inconsistent. Prices are sometimes cited as high for the value, though portions are large enough to share and there are reliable takeout options and coffee. The atmosphere is described as warm and cozy with good vibes for conversations or casual visits, though high ceilings in one location can make the room quite noisy. Across visits, staff are noted for warmth and helpfulness, contributing to memorable moments even when meals miss the mark. Overall Rockaberry remains a destination for dessert lovers and comfortable cafe experiences, with strong praise for pies and desserts alongside occasional inconsistencies in food and value.
I find the slices of cakes are getting smaller & smaller every time I visit.
They still taste great though.
My absolute favorite is the blueberry lemon shortcake.
Insanely good, but rare that I find it

The waitress was friendly but unfortunately, very slow in serving our order. Not sure if it was because of a lack of personnel to wait on people or lack of personnel to prep the food.
I ordered the special which offered a chicken salad sandwich with pie & coffee. The sandwich was very stingy on the chicken salad, felt like I was eating bread with lettuce. Definitely NOT the chicken salad sandwich I used to have in the old days. No issue with the slice of pie & coffee refills, at least that hasn't changed, YET.
Dry, over priced pie, watered down flavorless brownie milkshake, & was never brought any water. 2 pies & 2 drinks, 55$. Definitely not what it used to be.

So this is my second time trying the apple crumble pie & both times it was undercooked so I won't be trying that again but the mochamisu & strawberry short was good for a single slice
Awesome cake, horrible service. Came twice in a week to ask for iced black coffees politely. The waitress at the counter is always unhappy, & makes me feel like I'm bothering her by ordering. Both times my coffee was lukewarm, no ice in it & a generous tip did not help to get a better attitude. Girl, if you don't want to make ice decafs, just say you don't do them? Like why you punishing me because you hate your job? Idk that's just lame. Sad because the cake is good but i feel stupid to spend money there when I'm treated like that.
I got Caramel Fudge Cheese there was only Chesse & bottom is hard rock sticky something ,maybe its fudge..but there's no other ingredients....tons of cheese nathing else .
4 étoiles car les plafonds hauts rendent l'endroit très bruyant. Endroit chaleureux. Les jeunes & les vieux aiment cet endroit. Nourriture toujours aussi bonne (dessert & café). Un des seuls endroits de l'ouest de l'île & de Laval où on peu encore aller passer la soirée après 21h devant un café, & qui n'est pas un bar! J'espère que vous garderez les heures d'ouverture!🙂

First time at Rockaberry in DDO, service was terrific menu looked great, I ordered a wrap simple tuna wrap, very disappointed a dry wrap with a tuna that had no taste, plate came with one cucumber & dried out carrots & purple cabbage, tell me why a simple wrap was so poorly prepared... The apple crumble was excellent & I do believe its all about the chef in the back who prepares the food. For 22$ or more the sandwich should be fresh & tasty. As for the service great team of ladies. So many great passionate cooks out there, who love to prepare great food.
The service was very good. The pies were exceptional. Huge portions that you could really even share 1 pie for 2. The room could use a little personal touch, maybe lose some tables & make some lounge areas. But very clean & polished.
I came into this restaurant completely exhausted, with two toddlers who were having a really hard moment. From the second we sat down, Emily was absolutely amazing. She served us quickly, was incredibly patient, & showed so much kindness during a stressful time.
What really stood out was when my toddler started crying-Emily went out of her way to bring her a small piece of cake on the house, & it instantly turned the situation around. That small act of kindness meant so much to me as a tired parent.
Service like this is rare & truly appreciated. Thank you, Emily, for making what could have been a rough outing into a really positive experience. We'll definitely be back.
I am extremely disappointed with the strawberry shortcake. This was something my friends, family & I used to genuinely enjoy, but the recent change has completely ruined it. The taste has clearly changed & not for the better. The cream on top now has odd hints of coconut & banana, the sponge cake was dry & barely tasted like vanilla, & the overall texture & flavour were unpleasant.
The only part that seemed unchanged was the filling. There was no notice of a recipe change, if only I had known, I never would have ordered it. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

Les tartes sont délicieuses au rockaberry en général.
Mais j'ai pris un sandwich qui était dégoûtant servi avec la pire salade César que j'ai manger. La serveuse m'a induit en erreur sur ce qui était inclus dans mon repas, laissant présager qu'une tarte était inclue dans la table d'hôte & que je pouvais payer un extra pour améliorer le Cafe de la table d'hôte. Ce n'était pas le cas pour les deux, ce qui a donné une expérience trop chère & mauvaise au goût.
Had a great experience here tonight. Key lime pie was delicious, & the cafe latte hit the spot.. so much so, i had a second. The atmosphere is great for conversations with your friends, family or special someone.
