Rockaberry

I feel like Rockaberry is the go-​to (the only???) hangout spot in the West Island if you’re looking to grab a good desert. Their pies are ¹⁰⁄₁₀. I always say I’m gonna try something different but always end up ordering blueberry pie with a scoop of ice cream.
I’ve also tried some of their sandwiches and a few of their hot chocolates (did you know they have banana hot chocolate???) And they were alright. Honestly, I only come here for the pies.

Contrary to many, we came here for Brunch! Place was mostly empty with curt and polite hostesses who took care of us.
I went with the Rockabagel and hot chocolate (with whipped cream of course…). The hot chocolate was delicious without being too sweet. Perhaps I was famished but I really enjoyed my Rockabagel! It was chewy and tender and packed with tasty calories. My only disappointment with the Rockabagel plate coming with no accessories. It was a yummy but nonetheless a pretty expensive bagel experience. Why not add a few potato wedges or a large fruit salad?
Overall, a nice experience.

My go to place for pies and coffee. Atmosphere is friendly, service is great and loving the new upgrades they’ve done at the place.

Get the pie. You HAVE to get the pie.
Ordered a lunch special, with a sandwich, coffee and a slice of pie ($ 10?). Of course, since Rockaberry’s is a café renowned for their desserts, the pie did not disappoint. Not only was it an enormously huge slice about a quarter of the entire pie, the berry pie was tart, sweet, moist and flakey. The margarita panini with a small side ‘salad’ was fine, but not exactly memorable. The pie, however, I still crave to this day. I will be back… for more pie. Yum.

I have always really liked the atmosphere and the desserts, it’s a fun hang out spot.
I recently had to remove dairy from my diet.
I wish that milk alternatives were available (soy, coffee mate) because right now If you can’t drink milk of cream then you better like your coffee black. There was a coconut milk latte but it was terrible.
Starbucks, café depot and second cup all offer soy alternatives, it would be more than awesome if Rockaberry could too.

Rockaberry’s is a well-​established hang out spot in the West Island (You do have some downtown, but I never go).
It started with the one on Sources (in D.D.O.) and now I mostly go to the one on St-​Charles (between the 40 and 20). Both have outdoor terraces, but the one on St-​Charles is bigger and more enjoyable in my opinion.
They have great sangria (white and red) to enjoy, are known for their desserts: amazing pies that you can’t find anywhere else in Montréal. Apple crumble pie, Apple crumble cheesecake (one of their newest), Raspberry crumble pie, Truffle, Toblerone cheesecake, Orea cheesecake, you name it, you can find your fix here. They also have excellent nachos to share (and the appetizer one is great and more than enough for 2). Their clubs are also awesome.
A lot of people study there too! It’s ”‘the more upscale study place of the West”” haha. Good times, food and hockey game in the background. The fun thing about the one on Sources, they have a fireplace. Studying is good but it can get super loud (like nightclub) around 8. Not too pleasant. Even if just to go without studying, hard to hear each other speak.
But all around a fun place worth going to!
