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.
They gave us wrong order. We have been eating from here from 2024. A lot of the time they make mistakes & the customer service is not great. So I offered them coming back & picking the right one & returning the wrong one. Because Uber offered only $5 uber cash. I told them I can show you that uber is not refunding. & I don't wanna pay $14 again for the same cake. The lady who was working at Sunday(15/03/2026) at 9:10 pm was so rude. So disrespectful. Had such an attitude that I am a third class citizen. A big business like them really kept me thinking disrespecting a human what kind of moral values they have.

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.
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.
THE YUMMIEST DESSERT SPOT!! Obsessed with all of their pies! The birthday cake pie is my favorite but you really cannot go wrong with any pie that you pick.

This place for us, has been part of the ritual to celebrate very special occasions for years. We love the cakes & we always take it to go but recently we decided to have it there for the first time & last time. The server definitely killed the vibe for us. The demeanor didn't really meet even low standards of customer service. We gave the benefit of doubt that they are personally going through hard time or are just tired. But giving tip for such a service is just not fair at all. We have been loyal customer & we continue to be but will for sure take the delicious cakes to go.
Reading the reviews Im starting to understand that this place is known more for its cakes & pies & maybe it was on us for going here to try there food instead.
But regardless tried the Philly cheesesteak sandwich & Caesar salad. Nothing special for the food had a very homemade vibe to it. Also service was not bad but not great either. Would not go again.
Strawberry shortcake is my absolute favorite - the perfect balance of sweet, fresh strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, & soft cake. Hands down, the best dessert ever!

Absolutely amazing! From the spinach, zucchini soup starter, the pasta du jour with garlic bread, the teriyaki chicken stir fry…the carrot cake with vanilla ice cream. Everything waaaay above. Excellent!

Stopped in yesterday for a drink & decided to try the pies. We got Red Velvet & Key Lime, which were really good & the slices were huge. I like a bit more sour tang in my Key Lime Pie but it was nice to try something different. I took home a slice of the Rockafetti cake & it's delicious. It's very heavy, both the icing & the cake, which is my favourite kind of cake & so hard to find. I'm kind of devastated that I won't be able to get it in Ontario. We also got the the Blueberry Crumb Cheese but I haven't tried it yet
Can't go wrong with Rockaberry. Had the famous keylime & a carot cake.
The spot is nice, bigger than the one i usually go on Monkland but the service wasn't there for me. Took a bit of time to get seated.
We were a bit pushed out towards the end & pressured with getting something else or the bill. We had small table & they were less 50% capacity for most of the time i was there.
This isn't Tim Hortons.. this is where i catch up with friends over cake, coffee & refills.
Hands down some of the best cakes/pies I've had. The room is just a little too dark for my liking & almost feels like the store is closed. Nonetheless, highly recommended. 👌
