Tarterie Rockaberry

I love Rockaberry’s pies… They’re consistently delicious, and there’s always a huge variety.
Most people love the Oreo cheesecake and other chocolatey pies, but I’m not a big fan of chocolate (yeah I’m weird, I know)… My absolute favourite pie that I can’t get enough of is the strawberry rhubarb crumb, warmed up. I often go in and pick up a slice to-​go :)
The «regular meals» are also really good, and the prices can’t be beat. The Soup /​Sandwich /​Pie combo is great.
The restaurant itself is nicely renovated from their recent move into the old Pizza Hut local and it’s cozy and comfortable. Never too loud or crowded like the one on St Charles (Kirkland). I drive out of my way to this one even though I’m closer to the other 2 (Kirkland/​Vaudreuil).
Oh, and if you’re ever invited to a dinner, be a good host and pick up a pie at Rockaberry’s to bring for dessert, would you? ;)

Best deserts in town! I preferred the old location as it was more like «home» and cozy but the new one is obviously revamped and more profitable. I love the quality of all their products! Looking forward to bring pies back to Toronto for some friends!
Only down fall is the size of the patio and the smoking section. The entire patio is more or so a smoking pit.

Rockaberry used to be a popular hangout for my group of friends a long time ago and over the years it simply became our place where we’d go in grab a whole pie and take it out with us to group events. Recently we opted to have dessert here and here’s the rundown of my experience.
Pros :
— What gorgeous décor! We sat near the fireplace and basked in its heat during our meal. The experience was very nice!
— Caramel latte was very good, my cheesecake was also good but I’ve had better.
Cons :
— The service really left a lot to be desired. It was slow and not really attentive but the cherry on top was when we got our bills… there was simply no effort to get them right! All our orders (4 of them) were completed messed up and we were advised to «fix it at the cash». Excuse me? What a waste of time and I’m sure the 10 people or so who were waiting to pay to leave behind us were wondering what was going on with everyone fixing their bills.
Would have been a 4.5 star experience but I’m docking 1 star for that last point. Price-​tag is about average, about $ 14 for a slice of pie and a latte (a whole pie is $ 20…).

I think Rockaberry’s deserves another review since it’s been newly renovated. (I apologize for not snapping pics).
The pies are as delicious as they’ve always been. This is a great quiet place to take a new date for a drink and pie unless you’re from the DDO/​Pointe Claire, in which case you’re almost guaranteed to see a familiar face.
Since the renovation Rockaberry’s also amped up their menu. I like that they list a bunch of sandwiches and offer them as wrap, sandwich or pannini. It adds a lot of variety to suit my mood without over-​complicating the menu and overwhelming the cooks, which I hate. The meals are delicious and well portioned. Rockaberry’s is still a café-​type location so expect your sandwich & salad to cost slightly more than neghbouring fast food joints (avg $ 14). I do, however, see justification in the prices.
Had I written this review 2 years ago, I would be giving the place 2 – 3 stars but the reinvigorated menu, modernized décor and improved lighting make it so that I have nothing to nitpick.
Rockaberry’s also offers takeout on whole pies w/​o tax ($ 15-​$ 24). Grabbing one just before you get on the highway will make you a hit at any pot luck.

After searching for Rockaberry in DDO and seeing it had a 2-​star rating, I knew something needed to be done.
I can’t speak for the service as I rarely eat in the restaurant, and thankfully, I don’t have experience sitting near the washroom as Scott did, but if there’s one thing I know for sure about Rockaberry (any of them, really), it’s that when I want pie, it’s the place to go to.
There are so many amazing flavours. In the mood for something rich? Try Caramel Fudge Cheese or it’s Raspberry Fudge Cheese cousin. Want something fruity and refreshing? Strawberry Peach Crumble is amazing, as is the rhubarb, and the classic apple. Awesome. They’re ALL really great.
Okay. Stop reading this. Just grab a friend and go, or go alone, like I do, grab a whole pie, and bring it back to a big group of friends. Now.

I was in the area, craving some moist cake. Ordered the strawberry spongecake and a bottle of Pellegrino (15 $ tax-​in). The cake I ordered was great– everything you want a slice to taste like; flavour, and texture wise. Service was good with no prolonged waiting, but I asked for the check right away after ordering to avoid an almost certain wait for a bill– which I recommend you do, as well to save time and aggravation– especially on busy nights. Avoid sitting by the women’s wash room, it smells like a dirty moist mop or sweaty socks, at times. Too bad, considering the nice fireplace that is close to this area. Another observation, the cutlery for an 8 – 10 $ piece of cake is ugly, cheap and unsexy to use on such a delightful desserts. Besides being too large, my fork looked liked it had been used in a prison cafeteria for 20years, then flattened by a truck. They need cutlery that is more proportionate to the food (if I go back, I will ask if they have a salad fork or coffee spoon) — I shouldn’t be able to shovel the cake down in three bites. Little bites… think little bites; it’s more enjoyable for dessert. Besides that, the parking is widely available in front and there might be lineups to get a table on weekends. Noise level is also significantly increased, which is natural considering that, unlike Starbucks, Rockaberry serves alcohol. So when it comes to choosing your seat, beware of «twinzees» bashing their ex-​bfs over martinis and cake. Deadly combination.
