Rockaberry draws praise for its extensive dessert selection, with many reviews calling the pies and cheesecakes the highlight, from a perfectly balanced Boston Cream Cheesecake to an indulgent Apple Crumble Cheesecake and a tangy Key Lime Pie, alongside rich chocolate and Oreo creations; the cozy, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and vegetarian dessert options, plus good coffee and even dinner choices, make it a welcoming spot for catching up with friends or celebrating special occasions, though a few experiences note uneven or dismissive service and occasionally high prices for generous portions.
It's my favorite spot for a creamy & crumbly dessert! One of my favourites is blueberry crumb cheese, I took it with a Moka, perfect combination! Service is good, the girls are nice!
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! 🍰💕

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
The apple crumble cheesecake is to die for! My wife & I used to go have a slice every other day when we were there & our 3 year old would have a whole slice to herself. We loved it so much that we didn't bother trying anything else
Rockaberry in Griffintown is amazing! Their pies are tall, rich, & full of flavour. Perfect for birthdays or any special treat. I always grab a slice (or sometimes a whole pie, its worth it if you want to splurge) for me & my friend's birthdays, & it never disappoints. The apple crumble cheesecake pie is one of my favourites! It's stacked up high, with lots of sweet apple & cheesecake filling. I also love the key lime pie, super tart & very strong lime flavour. It can be a little pricey, but totally worth it for how big & delicious the slices are. Definitely will be back soon! 🥧🍰🥧
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.
Oreo cheese was just terrible. Waaaaaay too much cream, too salty, too sweet, the oreo at the bottom was too hard.
Triple chocolate was just amazing, so I have mixed feelings.
The staff was super nice & friendly.
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
It's the second time I went there. The cheesecakes are delicious but if you are looking for a lime pie, that's not the place. It has a strong tastes & smell of cinnamon & nothing of lime.
Extremely sweet & not sour as I spectre to be
***Read till the end*** It's not my first time at this location but let me tell you my quick story. I ordered the 4 cheese pasta dish at dinner time & I was quite shocked by what was served. Literally 3 pastas that are not much bigger than an Oreo cookie. So be careful of this menu item. I'm not in a position to discuss the quality vs the price but for a coffee shop/diner type of restaurant I was expecting much more for 25$. Anyways, I brought my concern to my server, she took back my plate & I was able to choose something else. So as far as I'm concerned I was really well taken care of. The pies were as usual very very good. dessert portions were generous & coffee on point. So for this I still think that it's deserving of a 4 stars.
I usually do a bit more research when I'm traveling to avoid food disappointments, but I'm so glad I took a chance on this spot after a quick Google search near where we had dinner. I'm beyond happy I stumbled upon it! I'd read a few reviews saying it had the "best cheesecake ever," & honestly, I didn't believe them at first-but now I totally get it. This cheesecake was hands down one of the best I've ever had. The portion was massive, & the flavors were absolutely incredible. They had so many tempting options, it was hard to choose just one! I do wish they had a "pie flight" so I could sample a few different slices (because it was that good). On top of the amazing desserts, the service was fantastic! Our server was so friendly & attentive-she really added to the overall experience. Honestly, I'd drive from Ottawa just for this dessert, & I'd bring some home too! Highly recommend-this place is a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth!
First time at Rockaberry & it was delightful! Definitely need to go back soon! Service was a little slow, but friendly & polite. A charming spot to satisfy a sweet tooth. I had the raspberry fudge cheesecake & my bf had the oreo cheesecake, both were amazing!
If you are looking to have a small meal like an onion soup,rice soup, Rockaberry is a nice place to go, also staffs are very nice & friendly, & cakes are so huge & heavy but delicious specially those ones that have cheese in it(If you are a fan of cheese of course!:)

This is an excellent spot for cheesecake! I tried the blueberry cheesecake, mochamissu, & croustate fraise with ice cream, & they were all delicious. The outdoor seating adds to the lovely experience.
I got some slices to go: the caramel cheesecake, the key lime pie, & the hazelnut chocolate pie. The food was delicious & the staff were courteous & efficient.
La pâtisserie offre des cheesecakes délicieux avec des saveurs variées qui raviront les amateurs de douceurs. Cependant, l'expérience en salle laisse à désirer. L'ambiance sombre & peu accueillante ne met pas en valeur la qualité des produits heureusement on a trouvé une place qui ouvre sur la rue. De plus, le manque de chaleur & de convivialité de la serveuse contraste fortement avec la qualité des desserts. Pour améliorer l'expérience globale, il serait bénéfique de rehausser l'éclairage & de former le personnel à offrir un service plus chaleureux. Malgré ces points, la pâtisserie reste une adresse intéressante pour déguster des cheesecakes de qualité, à condition de ne pas chercher une ambiance animée.
For the past 7 years, I've loved getting pies from Rockaberry. The pies were tasty & impressive in size - all a gal could ask for! Sadly, on my latest visit, I brought my sister from out of town to get a piece of pie for her boyfriend & was beyond bummed when we got home & saw the size of the pie was super underwhelming (read: disappointing). We got a piece of the raspberry fudge cheese, & I am still on the hunt for the rest of the fudge portion that seemingly did not make it into the container 🤨 I don't think the pictures do justice to how small this slice felt, but if I were to describe it, I'd say it's Rockaberry's take on a two-bite brownie 😢 Anywho, my cravings will likely bring me back cause the pies are oh so tasty, but I'll have to mentally prepare to be sad about the portion size in advance. The staff was super nice & friendly as always, it just seems that the portion sizes have dramatically changed.
