mmmmm pie! it was nice to go with a group and get a few slices to split between all of us. Some were more creamy/chocolate lovers while others liked the fruity stuff, but the general sentiment seemed to be wonderful satisfaction.
There were several levels of seating and since we went earlier in the day it was pretty quiet. I think I saw some people by themselves studying/reading. -

Rockaberry was alright, nothing special. Ordered the club sandwich, which was light on lettuce but heavy on the mayo -- not the greatest. The white bread it was served on (there were no other choices) made the sandwich particularly underwhelming. The slice of strawberry rhubarb pie that was ordered to-go was also underwhelming -- pretty tart.
On the upside, they have draft beer and friendly service -- that counts for something, right? I still wish I would've ordered a slice of the millefeuille that I asked the waitress about (my non-Francophone self had never heard of such a creation let alone knew what the word translated to) -- she was very patient in explaining in English what millefeuille was. Oh well, maybe some other time. We shall see. -

Awesome pie here. Was very pleased with the key lime and apple crumb pie. Definitely on my list of places to return on my next visit to Montreal.

I protested, but everyone was coasting on low blood sugar, and we found ourselves at Rockaberry. I scanned the menu, depressed. I was in no mood for one of their "pies", which are more like some mutant cross between crumble and cake. Everything doused in whipped cream, and excess everywhere you look. I ordered a thai-wrap instead. The dinner/lunch menu is almost as embarrassing as their attempts at dessert, a mismatched assortment of diner/pseudo bistro foods. The wrap came with a side of about four potato wedges, which were fried and too salty. The wrap was drowned in sauce, and the vegetables were soggy. I left 80% of it on my plate. Prices are also outrageous.
A complete and total miss. There are so many better places for dessert in Montreal. -

Oh Montrealians, you don't know what you are missing: there are good dessert places in other parts of the world. It's true that Rockaberry is cheap, but this is really all it has going for it. The "pie" is actually a crumble, with poorly made filling, and the "cheese cakes" are whipped and overly sweet (a la the Cheescake Factory). On the other hand, the coffee was drinkable.
If I had to recommend this place, I'd say come when you are drunk or have had your sense impaired in some way. -

Oh... my... G*D! This place is AMAZING!
I've been on a pie kick since Thanksgiving. Seriously. For the past four or so months my friends have heard nothing but my desire for pie! Last weekend while on a trip to Montreal with my girlfriends, I started talking about my never ending desire for pie again. And so, after a fabulous dinner at L'Express, I was taken here, to Rockberry, otherwise known as pie heaven!
So the group of us were absolutely stuffed to the gills when we arrived, but we still decided to get coffee and share 3 pieces of pie. And I voted to get mine a'la mode (yuuuuuuuuuum!).
And when they arrived.... they were GIANT!! Each "slice" was seriously a QUARTER of an ENTIRE PIE. And the a'la mode was two GIANT scoops of ice cream. INSANE.
And... SO GOOD! The apple pie was the best out of the three. The strawberry rhubarb was too sweet for my taste. And the blueberry pie was perfect... and swimming in ice cream. YUM! My lactose intolerant stomach didn't complain (thank goodness), and I was able to gleefully stuff myself sick with pie and ice cream.
It's such a good thing Montreal is a 6 hour drive away... or I'd be here every weekend! :) The BEST place for pie! And our server was really sweet. And it looks to be a great place for a date! We saw a bunch of people eating sandwiches and dinner here. But definitely... come here for the pie!Listed in: My favorite places!!

Thank you Julia, for recommending me this place.
Rockaberry "ROCKS!" A nice cute cafe. Excellent desserts. Their sandwiches and soup are pretty good too.
I like coming here to just relax and have cafe latte with friends.
Been here 3x. Sometimes the service is good and sometimes not. -

Mainly a dessert place but they do have some other food. I came for an early dinner and ordered some tortellini, which was OK.
My husband ordered a Thai wrap which was pretty good. Both came with Caesar salads. Again, all safe choices.
For dessert we had some really great Oreo cheesecake. Their strong point is clearly in the pies and cakes they make. -

Decadence on a dish. You could go for a meal, but I wouldn't suggest it; you don't want to fill up too much before you hit the pie. Honestly, the pie is sufficient to be a meal in itself.... Or more precisely, a slice of pie could be my only meal of the day. It's that rich. Good, but rich. Super, super rich.
The cheesecake pies in particular are incredible. They usually consist of a cookie crust filled with a thick, cheesecake-like custard chock full of peanut butter, chocolate, candy bars, caramel, etc. They custard is topped with thick clouds of whipping cream then garnishes with more "extras". The whole thing stands about 4-5" high and is a fearful meal to tackle. I've never made it through an entire one.
The lemon meringue pie is also decent. The filling is a little too sweet for my tastes; I was looking for something a bit more tart to contrast the airy, sugary meringue that floats on top. I've had better, but I've also had much worse. I haven't yet tried the fruit pies, but I've heard rave reviews.
The service is so-so. We were seated quickly when we arrived, but it took a very long time for the waitress to come and take our order. Also, after being served, we didn't see the waitress until we hailed someone for the check. I could have used about 5 glasses of water in that time period.
Overall though, this is a great place for dessert. It meets all my requirements for decadent deliciousness, at a decent price.Listed in: Rebecca H's Salad Spots

Okay so I was promised a milkshake at a bowling alley last night and it turns out they didn't have any.... SO.... I decided that tonight I must get one! I Google Searched for where I can get a nice milkshake in Montreal and this place came up. Amelie and I went there and she got the pecan pie (the apple pie looked amazing too!) and I got a Cappuccino Milkshake (they also had Amaretto, Chocolate, Mocha, Strawberry, Vanilla etc...) It was GREAT! The restaurant was very clean and modern-looking. We had a nice time and will be back again!

Rockaberry is the place to go when you want a cheap, giant serving of dessert. Great for sugarholics.

Before This week, I had never been to Rockaberry. Now I've been three times. I knew they served cake, but what I just experienced was sooooo much more! Being the first patio day in Montreal we ordered up some sangria which surprisingly good (alcoholic). I ordered the Louisiana sandwich which came with amazing wedge fries and then the Boston Cream cake for dessert. Honestly, best Thursday afternoon I've had in a while. Thanks Rockaberry!
