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! 🍰💕
Rockaberry pies continues to be one of my favorite places in all of Montreal -we get it for every birthday -highly recommend the key lime pie & the staff is so welcoming !!!
Hands down some of the best cakes/pies I've had. The room is just a little too dark for my liking & almost feels like the store is closed. Nonetheless, highly recommended. 👌
Rockaberry Griffintown! Pleiiins de gateaux! Pleins d'alcohol. L'ambiance est vraiiiment excellente! Je suis aller le soir vers 22:00 & ça semblait fermé étant donner que les lumières sont toutes tamisés.. mais finalement c'était ouvert avec pleins de clients qui semblaient super bien d'être là! Il y avait pleins de gâteaux.. c'est pour ça que j'étais là alors j'ai acheté 78$ de gateau. J'ai pris tous les gâteaux que j'avais le goût de goûter & ils étaient tout vraiiiiiment très très bon! J'aurais aimer plus de chocolat mais j'ai été agréablement surpris de la qualité des gâteaux! J'ai fahi prendre un Milkshake.. je vais y retourner une journée plus tranquille pour profiter des autres gâteaux avec plus de chocolat & pour un Milkshake! Le service était excellent. Je recommande cet endroit! Merci beaucoup!
I had a wonderful experience here! The young girl serving us was very sweet & provided excellent service. She even went the extra mile to ask if we wanted ice cream with our desserts, which was a pleasant surprise as not all locations offer this option. The desserts were delicious, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. Highly recommend this location!
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.
It was simply delicious, if you want a really cool place to eat a great dessert, Rockaberry Griffintown is the place to go, the Caramel fudge was our favorite one & the carrot cake the second choice, 1000% recommended!! We will come back for sure
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.

This pastry shop is really great. The staff was very polite & kind. They genuinely wanted to make sure we had the a great time at their establishment. The pies/cake were so good. They have a wide variety of options to choose from & they are fairly priced. I recommend seating outside on the patio if you can. It's just a nice space.
Nice desserts selections & their cakes are amazing. They can make cakes very personalized & with attention to allergies & dietary restrictions. Highly recommended.
