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.
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.
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
Decent place for coffee & pie. We have had pleasant experience every time we come here. Though the price for a piece of pie has gone up quite a lot the past 3 years (it's now 10$ or more for a piece of pie plus tax & tips? Come on!), nonetheless it's a decent place for coffee in the area of Griffintown
***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.
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.
We stopped by Rockaberry after dinner for dessert & coffee. The atmosphere was amazing inside & we were immediately welcomed when we entered. The pies, cakes & desserts looked so good & were presented so nicely it was hard to choose which ones to get. Shortly after we arrived we were seated & service was great. We tried a few of the pie options & loved them all. Rockaberry is a great place to visit after dinner for dessert or just for a bite anytime. I'll be back next time I'm in town.
After a day of walking about Montreal & eating copious amounts of food throughout the day I wanted to do some desserts later in the afternoon. Not a full meal, just something to carry me through the evening. This place was a close walk to Old Montreal & came up on the search results. A great smaller place with a patio. I ate inside & had a great conversation with with our server. English is definitely NOT a problem for travellers to the area that struggle with ordering in French. I had the Keylime pie & my wife had the Apple Crumble Pie & an Americano, The food was great, the service was quick, the place was clean, & definitely NOT crazy expensive, A great place for a snack or stop for slowly having a coffee & dessert.

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.
The cake was amazing & the place has a great ambiance. The waitress was really nice & attentive. I would definitely come back to try the other cakes. The coffee was okay, but I guess that's a matter of taste.
Rockaberry is a hidden gem for dessert lovers! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked treats. The quaint atmosphere & cozy seating make it the perfect spot for a sweet escape.
The menu boasts an impressive variety of desserts, each more tempting than the last. Their signature pies are a true standout. The crust is flaky perfection, & the fillings burst with flavor. I couldn't resist trying the classic apple pie & was blown away by its deliciousness.
The staff at Rockaberry is friendly & knowledgeable, always ready to recommend a dessert that suits your taste buds. The service was prompt, & my order arrived at the table with a beautiful presentation.
What sets Rockaberry apart is their dedication to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. You can taste the difference in every bite. Whether you have a penchant for pies, cakes, or tarts, Rockaberry has something to satisfy every sweet tooth.
Additionally, their beverage selection complements the desserts perfectly. I highly recommend pairing your treat with a cup of their aromatic coffee or a soothing herbal tea.
The only downside is the limited seating, so it's advisable to arrive early, especially during peak hours. But trust me, the experience is worth every moment spent waiting.
In conclusion, Rockaberry is a dessert haven that delivers on taste, quality, & atmosphere. It's become my go-to spot for indulging in sweet cravings. I can't wait to return & try more of their delectable offerings. Don't miss out on this delightful slice of heaven!
Happy indulging!

Nice place to go for some good coffee & desserts. This place was recommended by one of our friends. We ordered two coffees, a Mochamisu, an apple crumble & a vegetable nacho plate. Coffee was good. We liked the Apple Crumble more than the Mochamisu. So, definitely recommend the apple crumble. The nachos were good as well.
The place is nice. Very good interiors. A little dark though. The service is a little slow. Even when we entered the cafe it took some time for one of the staff members to notice us. So, have plenty of time at your disposal.
There is a paid street parking on both sides of the road. It might be a little tricky to find, but mostly you should get the spot within 500 m in either direction.
Overall, I would still recommend this. I would probably have one more visit to try something else as well since they have a very large menu.
