Across reviews, Rockaberry is seen as a dessert focused destination in Montreal with a cozy, relaxed vibe that invites long visits and friendly chatter, ample seating, and a welcoming atmosphere. The desserts are the highlight, with standout items including Boston Cream Cheesecake, apple crumble cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, Nutella cake, and a key lime pie; portions are generous and the variety of pies and cakes draws repeat visits. The menu also offers vegetarian desserts and options beyond desserts, including dinners and cocktails, making it more than just a dessert cafe. Service receives mixed notes: many describe staff as friendly and attentive, while some reviews recount moments of less attentive or inconsistent service that can affect the mood. Prices can be on the higher side, with some calls for smaller portions to improve value, yet the quality and consistency of the desserts are repeatedly praised. The locations, including Griffintown, are described as lively and atmospheric, with some comments on a darker interior but overall inviting, plus clean washrooms, good parking, and a vibe conducive to birthdays or casual nights out.
Le personnel est super attentionné & les desserts toujours aussi bon. je suis retourné au Rockaberry Griffintown hier avec des amis & c'était solide encore une fois. des options pour tout le monde & du super bon café. à noter qu'il y a également des repas servis sur place !
Dessert Night with Friends 🍰✨our waiter was beautiful dalia♥?♥?♥?♥?🤤
I visited this lovely café with my friends Nima & Layla, & we had such a great time! The atmosphere was cozy, relaxed, & perfect for catching up. There's plenty of seating, & the vibe makes you want to stay & enjoy your desserts without feeling rushed 😊.
We ordered a few different cheesecakes to try:
🥧 Boston Cream Cheesecake (with an Americano) - This one was mine, & honestly… WOW. 10/10 ⭐
It was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, & incredibly smooth. The texture was creamy & light, & the flavor was just amazing. Definitely the best one we tried - I would go back just for this!
🌰🍫 Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake - 8/10
This one was rich & delicious with a great chocolate flavor. It was slightly sweeter than I personally prefer, but still very enjoyable.
🍪 Oreo Cheesecake (with an iced latte) - 7/10
It had a nice cookies-&-cream flavor & was well made, but it was quite sweet. I couldn't finish a full slice - just a small piece was enough for me.
☕ Americano Review - 5/10
The aroma was actually good, but the aftertaste was disappointing - maybe a 2/10 for the finish. With desserts this sweet, I would recommend using a stronger bean like Robusta or a bold Ethiopian roast to balance the flavors better. I've definitely had better Americanos elsewhere.
Overall, the cheesecakes were the real stars of the night ⭐🍰. If you go, the Boston Cream Cheesecake is a must-try! Absolutely the highlight of our visit.
A great dessert café for a sweet evening with friends 💛
Another great thing? The entire dessert menu is vegetarian 🌱. They also offer dinner options & cocktails 🍸, making it more than just a dessert café.
To top it all off - clean washrooms 🚻, great parking 🚗, friendly staff, & a relaxed atmosphere. Everything about this place makes you want to come back again.
Highly recommend for anyone who loves amazing desserts in a cozy, welcoming environment! 🍰💕
I love this place. They have the best pies & chocolates. So fresh & tasty. The only small suggestion I would make is to have an option for a smaller portion size so that people can eat a smaller size & it would also cost less. I always have to pck my order & force to eat the next day. Other than that I dont have any complaints. Very yummy food as well as desserts & great staff.
Came last night to pick up a cheesecake There were two server, one male, one female the male did a great job love the customer service, but the woman was unfriendly , It doesn't look like she was happy to be there because of her, I won't be coming to this location
Bonjour from your friends from Buffalo, NY, in the states. We stopped in for a quick bite & had a wonderful time. Food was delicious. & our waitress Alexandra was so lovely. There is a lot of ugliness & fear in the world right now & coming across a kind soul like her is no small thing. This restaurant is lucky to have her.

If you want to enjoy a real dessert in Montreal, Rockaberry should be your first stop.
I bought my daughter's birthday cake from here & it made her day even more special. Every year when I'm in Montreal. I make sure to visit again. The cakes are always fresh, delicious & unforgettable. It's not just dessert. It's a sweet tradition for us. 🍰✨
This was the first time I had coffee & cake at Rockaberry. I would revisit Canada only for having a piece of cake at this place again. Delicious! & very nice service.
On a commandé hier soir 2 gâteaux en général tout est correct ... Mais hier le'key lime pie' avait un goût bizarre ... la première chose que je fait c'est d'enlever le petit citron de décoration..Quand j'ai fini le gâteau j'ai remarqué que le citron de décoration était pourri ... donc c'était ce petit goût désagréable... Je me suis posé la question de combien de jours avait le gâteau dans le frigo? Je me suis même réveillé la nuit parce j'avais mal au ventre ... D'ailleurs je vais profiter de ce message pour vous dire que :
1) C'est dommage que vos conteneurs actuelles ne soient plus écologiques
2) Vous dire que la taille de vos morceaux laissé parfois bcp à désirer... Je ne sais pas si je vais en acheter à nouveau :'(
Amazing cake but very dissapointing customer service. Waited until I hit'no tip' to slice the cake & its like all the life was sucked out the room at that point.
Service is good, coffee is good, pie is medium I tried the one with apple & cream, I expected more fruits & less sugar, there was a lot of cream & not enough fruits... A little bit disappointed May be i should try a classic one... Don't sit next to the window in the winter it's cold
I know it's not fun to work on December 31st but don't take it out on your customers. Came in & was treated very rudely by the cashier. She very obviously didn't want to be there. Needless to say, I left without getting anything & I'm not coming back.
