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.

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.
I recently visited Rockaberry in Montreal's Griffintown, & I must say, the experience was delightful. The strawberry & chocolate pies were outstanding-easily some of the best I've ever tasted. The place itself has a warm & cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing & enjoying a sweet treat. While the ambiance was inviting, it did seem that there were not enough staff to manage the tables during the time I visited, which slightly affected the service speed. However, as you can see from the photos, my friend also thoroughly enjoyed the visit. I would definitely recommend Rockaberry to anyone looking for a great dessert spot in the city.
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.
I tried bananalicious & rockabrownie pies. They were amazing! Would definitely recommend. The biggest disappointment was the service. We only ordered pies, hot chocolate & a milkshake. But, we had to wait longer than usual to get seated (even when there were many vacant seats) & we noticed our order waiting at the counter for too long. Also, the hot chocolate was a little too sweet for me.
Maybe i made a bad choice. But brownie with the chocolate mousse cake was not good. Way too sweet, wet brownie bottom & the little bit of whipped cream tasted stale. Staff was great though.
