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.
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.

Good not great. Most pies are delicious, but the millefeuille for example is incredibly underwhelming & probably doesn't need to be a regular menu item. Overall, I liked the pie a lot, especially the key lime. The price is astronomical but I'm glad I tried it out. The staff were awesome!
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.
