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.
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
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.
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.
Amazing experience! The service was excellent, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. The pies were absolutely delicious - easily some of the best I've had! Great vibes all around. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to.
We used to go here quite often but have been away for a couple of years. Tonight we went for dessert & cappuccino. The pies are still amazing but the cappuccinos came in cups so small ( espresso size) & we got like 3 sips. All for a ridiculous price for almost nothing. We were told that the other cups were too big & clients complained that they there was too much milk in them. What BS. They're just greedy & giving you less for much more money.

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.
Cool atmosphère because it was super busy on a Wednesday night. It felt like the right place to be.
The service was ok.
The pies were ok.
Pretty expensive.
high-end dessert restaurant. The staff is always super nice, but the service is so slow. The place is kept clean, & the pie is amazing. Having said this, it's kind of pricey for the food, & it's not revolutionary. You can get good veggie options, but in reality, you can get better for less. It's still a great place for dates & after-dinner pie. Just want to make it clear those last two photos so the drinks & those pieces of pie the bill with tip came to $55. It ain't cheap trying to impress girls anymore...
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
Went there for their pies. Unfortunately, most of them were already non available. So we got the blueberry & lime & the mokatisu. The first one was light, fluffy & not too sweet. It was pleasant to eat. The second one (mokatisu) was not what I expected from a chocolate tiramisu. It was a bit salty & heavy because of the cream cheese. I say their pies are very Americanized. However, I would possibly come back to try other ones, especially the fruits one like the apple crumble.
