Rockaberry is described as a warm, lively spot where high ceilings can make the room quite loud, but the atmosphere is inviting for guests of all ages. Pies, desserts, and coffee are frequently praised, with apple crumble and other pastries singled out as standout offerings and takeout options also popular. Service is often noted as friendly and attentive, with moments of extra kindness that can turn a stressful or tiring visit into a positive experience. There are some drawbacks mentioned, including a dry tuna wrap on a first visit and meals that miss the mark, as well as questions about value for money when menus or inclusions are unclear. The room could use a touch of personal style and some reviewers call for more thoughtful seating or layout changes to balance crowds. Overall, Rockaberry comes across as a reliable destination for pie lovers and dessert fans, with a strong reputation for flavorful pastries and a warm, clean setting, tempered by occasional inconsistency in dishes and pricing.
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 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.
The food is always delicious, but that night service was slow. We had a table of 8, all for a slice of cake or pie & it took them over 30 minutes to take our order.

'Visited Rockaberry to celebrate my friend's birthday & had a great time! Loved their coffee , nachos & cake - super tasty & fresh. Cozy place with a good vibe!
Went in to have a slice of their Mille Feuille pie/cake. It was delicious as usual & as I expected. Our waitress was lovely & kind. Never a disappointment & highly recommended
When for dessert on August 13, 2024 to the D.D.O. location, we arrived at 9:10pm. It took them ten minutes to seat us, took them another 20 minutes to bring us a dessert menu, took them another 10 minutes to take our order & it took them 20 minutes to bring 2 pieces of cake & one coffee. I wanted to leave after the initial 10 minutes, there was no one in the restaurant, if there were 15 people that max. It seems every time I go there the service gets worse, one thing for sure, the last time August 13th was the last !!!!

Nice sandwiches & great dessert. I had Rasberry chocolate cheese cake. Only one server but he manage to serve us ans the rest of the people, very polite & helpful. Too bad I forget to take pictures of our whole order.
Ordered a slice of cake for take out, opened the box & it looked like it had been sat on. Asked for a new slice & was given the smallest slice I’ve ever been served at Rockaberry’s. Not what I expect after paying over $10 for a slice 🚮
Just got a piece of the new blueberry lemon cake (my co worker went & picked it up) the slice of cake for the price is terrible they used to give a decent size slice but the piece I got today is ridiculous! Very disappointing! Very small.
