Such a great place for food, to meet friends, and experience the fantastic service that epitomizes Rocket. One of the guys has the very best Newfie accent you could possibly imagine! I went back just one more time to hear him talk - and have another coffee of course - LOL

A wonderful spot for lunch or breakfast. Food is very well prepared and reasonably priced. Excellent specialty coffee drinks. If you're in the area, you should definitely drop by.

This is the best place to go for everything baked. I highly recommend their flourless chocolate brownies!

Chanced upon Rocket, having read no reviews, and called in for lunch. It was great. The sausage rolls are the best ever, heaps of beautifully flavoured, real meat filling and a light, thin pastry, oh, and quite large. One of us is a sausage roll connoisseur and this is his 'expert opinion'. Equally, the already prepared turkey, bacon, salad sandwich... More

Happened to wander in for a cup of tea on my strolls along the waterfront. Probably the best homemade granola bar I've ever eaten! It happened to be a Tuesday "kitchen party" lunch time so I was treated to a bit of lively and local music. I sat down and got lost in the whole scene...it was great!

I was looking for good food in a hurray on Water Street and this place fit the bill. I didn't need a place to sit (although they did have chairs) I wanted home-made food ( had some pre-made ciabatta buns, or you can get custom made meals) and a delicious fish cake. Excellent location, friendly staff, clean and alot of... More

this place sold the best sausage roll I have ever eaten. The rest of their food was also great with all the pastries and other great food like a pulled pork turnover.

Excellent sandwiches with great choice of fillings. Meats are fresh baked/roasted which was ideal for e when pregnant and avoiding deli meats:) Never had a bad experience. It is pricey but you get what you pay for.. fresh ingredients on fresh baked bread,main dishes, great salads and sides
