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.
I coincidentally visited this restaurant today & I do not understand why anyone would give anything but 5 stars to this place. The service was beyond special & accommodating. The atmosphere was calm & comfortable to just enjoy being present. The food was delicious. The avocado toast felt fresh & the patates wow. The dessert was incredible & very flavorful without feeling overly sweet. Definitely will come back.
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!

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.
This place deserves so much appreciation! One of the few places in Montreal that is a cafe, a decadent dessert place, a restaurant with great variety of food (always delicious & feel-fresh) & a bar at the same time. I can go pretty much anytime a day & have anything that's on my mind. Shoutout to the staff, always helpful & kind, & to the chefs for the tasty meals & pies.
Food was tasty... the desserts were outstanding & friendly service was outstanding.... Owner / operator was attentive to our needs & was very kind & charming in explaining the menu to us.... Bravo 👏🏻
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.

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.
Don't ask me to sit down & look at the menu for you to tell me 5 minutes later that nothing is available & I should get back up to look at the counter because you can't remember what's available. In that case I would have just ordered at the counter. You're forcing a tip. Of course I tipped you, you forced me to receive table service, but without actually being able to give me table service. Good job 👍🏻 you cheated the system, made your buck without doing the work. You left the menus at our table, so your colleague comes to us to ask if we ordered. Yes we did, like ages ago, we were in the middle of eating our dessert. He tiringly takes the menus from us.

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.
Nice desserts selections & their cakes are amazing. They can make cakes very personalized & with attention to allergies & dietary restrictions. Highly recommended.
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!
Really good 👍 desserts are amazing, waiters are friendly & professional! highly recommend to try mocha cake it’s something unreal! Prices are reasonable & atmosphere is calm & relaxing. We went with a group of friends but I think it could be also a great place for a date!
