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! 🍰💕
Amazing cake but very dissapointing customer service. Waited until I hit'no tip' to slice the cake & its like all the life was sucked out the room at that point.

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! 🥧🍰🥧
Stopped in yesterday for a drink & decided to try the pies. We got Red Velvet & Key Lime, which were really good & the slices were huge. I like a bit more sour tang in my Key Lime Pie but it was nice to try something different. I took home a slice of the Rockafetti cake & it's delicious. It's very heavy, both the icing & the cake, which is my favourite kind of cake & so hard to find. I'm kind of devastated that I won't be able to get it in Ontario. We also got the the Blueberry Crumb Cheese but I haven't tried it yet
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've been only once, ordered a slice of pie to go. Service was quick, staff was friendly & the key lime pie was delicious, it was a big slice too. I want to go back & try more.
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.

For the past 7 years, I've loved getting pies from Rockaberry. The pies were tasty & impressive in size - all a gal could ask for! Sadly, on my latest visit, I brought my sister from out of town to get a piece of pie for her boyfriend & was beyond bummed when we got home & saw the size of the pie was super underwhelming (read: disappointing). We got a piece of the raspberry fudge cheese, & I am still on the hunt for the rest of the fudge portion that seemingly did not make it into the container 🤨 I don't think the pictures do justice to how small this slice felt, but if I were to describe it, I'd say it's Rockaberry's take on a two-bite brownie 😢 Anywho, my cravings will likely bring me back cause the pies are oh so tasty, but I'll have to mentally prepare to be sad about the portion size in advance. The staff was super nice & friendly as always, it just seems that the portion sizes have dramatically changed.
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!
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!
