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! 🥧🍰🥧
Reading the reviews Im starting to understand that this place is known more for its cakes & pies & maybe it was on us for going here to try there food instead.
But regardless tried the Philly cheesesteak sandwich & Caesar salad. Nothing special for the food had a very homemade vibe to it. Also service was not bad but not great either. Would not go again.
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 !!!

J'ai goûtée au Gateau au Nutella, le fromage aux bleuets & croustade, le fromage au caramel & au fudge, la croustade aux pommes ainsi qu'au milkshake au chocolat. 🤤👌😍🤩 Ils étaient tous excellents. Mon préféré le gâteau au Nutella, pour mon copain c'est le fromage aux fleures & croustade.
Unhappy place with staff ego's. Went with a small Dog on the their Terrase with almost nobody within. Told us we could not stay. Went to Lulu Pasta & we where welcomed.
La tarte aux pommes était ok, n'étais pas la meilleure que j'ai déjà goûtée.
Le service mérite 2⭐?.
J'ai attendu plus de 15 minutes juste pour demander l'addition. La serveuse ne m'a même pas regardé dans les yeux pour me servir, pressée tout le temps.
Strawberry shortcake is my absolute favorite - the perfect balance of sweet, fresh strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, & soft cake. Hands down, the best dessert ever!
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
