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! 🍰💕

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! 🥧🍰🥧
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
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!
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.
Come for the pies, & get it for takeout. We always reorder Apple Crumb cheese. We also like the Oreo cheesecake, Raspberry Fudge or the Caramel fudge cheese. The only Rockaberry spot in the area, therefore, it can get pretty busy. Service is very detached & rushed. Not friendly, not the best around. The food itself is very salty, the coffee cocktails are decent but I would not order again. Ambiance is average.

Perfect spot to celebrate 🍾 your friends birthday. Take a tequila shot & enjoy a big piece of cake... That's a way to celebrate. The ambiance of the cafe was great. Our group ordered a shot of Tequilla with blueberry & apple crumble cheesecake. The cake was super delicious & big in portion. Must go. 🙂🙂
