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.
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! 🥧🍰🥧

L'accueil est très bien ! Le vrai soucis est sur les tartes bien que généreuses, il faut aimer & adorer la cannelle ! La pâte/fond de tarte est trop fin & friable. La garniture est généreuse, le goût peu plaire mais pour ma part la texture n'était pas à mon goût. Le crumble est bon pour les amoureux de la cannelle !
We had a late night stop for some slices to take home at 10:30, the team were so lovely & friendly. The rockafetti was amazing & a hit with my son, I had the apple cheese crumble which was also amazing as was the blueberry crumble. Such a big selection, hope we have time to come back on our travels. Thank you!

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.
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. 🙂🙂
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.
