Reviews of Rocket Bakery Water Street (Coffee Shop)

Cathy Walsh

I eat here a lot. Love the food, staff and atmosphere. I’m never disappointed.

Mimi W

They open fairly late for a bakery, but coming there in the evening will leave you empty-handed; I actually popped in, saw there was nothing, and then returned the next morning for some nice, fresh cinnamon buns and it was worth it! -- "Mimi's Cake Tour"

NOT GLUTEN FREE - I found this restaurant online as a gluten free resto.... We walked in and couldn't figure out if there was table service or where the restaurant started and cafe ended. We asked an employee if there was anything a celiac could eat and he and another employee told me no. Perhaps the food is good however I'm giving it a low review for advertising offering food for celiacs when they don't.

Alnoor Allidina

Loved the croissant breakfast sandwich. My wife loved her kale salad and coffee. My kid took apart a macaron and then stuffed his face with the pieces. Nice vibe.

Phil Wilson

Great place, if not a little confusing. We arrived in St. John's and our guide brought us here to get something for a picnic at Cape Spear. I would highly recommend anything. It was great picnic food. The lineup and purchase can be a little confusing to the uninitiated, but the staff does a great job of getting you your order no matter where you wander off to.

Karlo Gonzales

The bread pudding is worth the trip to Rocket Bakery alone. The friendly staff and great coffee is just bonus.

Todd Miller

Love the baked goods here and the amazing vibe.

Brooke Head

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Always bustling with people. Can be a bit tricky to find a seat sometimes

dipblems

Really like the focaccia and cappuccino. Great cheesecake! Just a bit overpriced.

Andrea Statton

Wanted to really love this place as seems to have high ratings. Disappointed. I was standing at the bakery area and the server told me she would be right back to me after helping another customer. She forgot I was there so I had to get her attention again. Bought cowboy, ginger molasses and caramel pecan cookies. They were meh. Also a cinnamon roll (dry) and asked for a salted caramel heart chocolate. Was given a salted nut cluster instead. Ordered lemonade and creamy iced espresso drink. Given hot tea instead. Definitely confused service. Blasé to fix mistakes.

Julie White

Excellent coffee, sweet treats and loads of healthy lunch options. Love going to the Rocket to people watch as well.

Jesse Benjamin

Amazing fish cakes and pastries

Matthew James

Stopped in on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Tried the coffee, fish cakes, short bread cookies and bread pudding- all were amazing! Kelly, the owner, was great and took time to sit and chat with myself and girlfriend. Overall great experience!

Christopher Hardy

Wonderful cafe but no dedicated parking can make visiting a challenge

Muffs Merino

Coffee and desserts are amazing. Loved this place. Friendly people, I guess that’s how they are in Newfoundland.

Luke

One of the few places in St John's with decent coffee

Kimberley Davis

Best bakery in Newfoundland! They delivered this pie for my cousin's 50th birthday today, even sang to him!! He was so surprised!! They made it so easy to arrange, I'll have to visit them when I'm home. Thank you Kate!

Jacob M

Great homey feel, good coffee and great breakfast burrito! Would recommend.

Hans Scheuren

Great place, nice service. My personal favorite is the bread pudding.

G Luff

Great place. Always friendly and the food is great! Love the atmosphere.

Kathy McKay

We each had a latte. We bought a cinnamon roll and bread pudding. All was very good.

T Blake

Delicious food with lots of vegan and gluten free options. Good lattes!

NL Republic

The pulled pork turnover was half decent albeit cold on the inside. The chicken burrito was tasteless. Way overpriced for a self serve - grab a seat if you can cafeteria type setting.

Sam Assad

My favorite coffee shop in St. John's. Also make excellent lunches and baked goods. The cinnamon roll is my favorite.

Brittany

Cute spot to sit down with a drink and pastry. Appreciate that they were open early in the morning!

Aristotle Vallianatos

Great food. Lots of choices. Good coffee. Friendly layout.

Neil Ivimey

Great ????????????, awesome ☕????☕, gorgeous girls ????????????, chilled out vibe ✌????????????????

Anastasia T.

Great atmosphere... Great food.... Great place to hang out!!!! Very cool vibe.

Valérye Hudon

Great croissant breakfast sandwich, but the espresso machine needs a cleaning. Amazing ambiance and A1 service.

Mohammad Ali

It's healthy food in comparison to all the fried food they eat here. But it still lacks that palatal kick that forces a reactionary response of wow that's pretty good. However the atmosphere makes up for the food. I'd just go for coffee and cake next time. Not a meal.

Steve Flogeras

Fun and quirky spot with lots of interesting decor. A great spot to grab something to eat.

Furman White

A nice place to visit. Great food & cozy atmosphere

A D

Awesome atmosphere and super friendly staff! Everything is made in house and selection is great!

Thomas Erskine

very good food but it gets very busy at peak times, so plan ahead

Jennifer Grant

One of the best cafes. Creative, local, fresh. Music, events, bathrooms upstairs. Lots of seating although gets busy. Outdoors seating too. Yummy coffee, awesome salads and cool soft drinks. Wicked pastries.

Christina Trigiani

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! From the decor to the food to the staff. The staff was so welcoming and patient as we were 6 people who had a lot of questions. I had the quinoa salad and the herb and sweet potato soup. Everything was so delicious AND THEY HAVE VEGAN OPTIONS! I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Frank Schmitt

Great food, great coffee and nice atmosphere, and the pastry case is to die for. Will definitely come here every time I'm in St John's.

Colleen Chambers

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and the best coffee. Recommend.

Yashwenee Selvaraju

Absolutely love rocket and its employees. The warm, cosy atmosphere never fails to brighten up the overcast days in St John's. I highly recommend the fish cakes, macarons, pain au chocolat, and shortbread cookies. Never a dull moment in here. :)

horia virginie

Cozy friendly atmosphere. Local community events regularly. Very friendly staff. Delicious homemade soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts.

Tony Mackenzie

Dirty floors in the main dining areas and behind the counters does not bode well for what the kitchen looks like. Stale past due products .

Mandy Ramsahai

Awesome coffee! Awesome atmosphere! Awesome croissandwich! So glad we found this place on our trip to the rock :)

Scott Blundon

Love the breakfast sandwich. Great coffee.

Joan Rideout

Always friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great vibe and fabulous food! The black bean burrito is so tasty and filling and the salsa that is served with it is one of the tastiest with the cilantro.

Mary-Anne Stevens

Busy and noisy on Saturday mornings. Staff are happy and friendly. We had pastries and coffee. The pastries were lovely including a partridgeberry scone, a cinnimon bun and a raison teabiscuit. All three pastries were perfectly fresh, soft and tasty. There was a long line waiting for our cappuchino and espresso. They were delicious and pretty too -but next time I would just have a dark roast and skip the line. The dark roast was very good.

Anna Celebanska

Amazing and famous bakery and a coffee shop. The only thing I'd like to suggest is to work a little bit on the teste of a regular coffee. But definitely I will vist this place again! Good atmosphere to meet friends or to work.

Peter Karl

Nice selection of freshly baked goods and remade meals. Friendly staff. Has a very "hipster" vibe to the whole place. Reminds me of a lot of bakeries in Vancouver. If you're into that, it's a great place.

André Boudreau

Delishis food and beverages. Prices are just above average but well worth the occasional breakfast or lunch!

Ross Ferguson

Pretty solid bakery. Maybe didn't *quite* live up to the hype we heard in advance, but still good food. The fish cakes were the bomb, but the cronut was better enjoyed with your eyes than your mouth.

Jenn B

Nice quick meal. Really enjoyed the fish cakes

Guillermo Rivas

Hard not to rate this place 5 stars, they are a community service in St. John’s. Great coffee and treats make this place a must in the city

Carina Trasmundi

I come here often the food and pastries are always fresh and delicious. The staff is super awesome and very patient when I can't choose what I want to eat out their large selection, that includes vegetarian options. Also the best cappuccino in town

Louis Walsh

I really like this place. Great food, great selection. Friendly staff.

Dave Battaino

What a fun place to linger with a geat cup of coffee and tasty , tantilizing delicacies. Sit in the big window and watch St. John's life roll past. Just a quaint, fun and lively place to be to while away the day.

Victor M

Great baked good. A little warm inside the restaurant.

Emma Forbes

Such a lovely place! The owner was so friendly. One of the best London fogs I've ever had! Great place.

Roger Kelsey

Excellent. Had Pain au chocolate to go was fantastic. Staff was great! Very happy environment

Sarah Cohen

Great coffee. Service was nice. Lovely assortment of small handmade gifts, pastries and such. Great find!

Michael

Great tasty good, fair market value prices. Helpful staff. They supply Alt hotel with pastries which you can recognize by their distinctive colouring and shape.

Ian Murdoch

Favourite cafe and bakery in St. John's with great coffee, lattes, espresso, cookies, and lunches. The sourdough bread is also amazing.

Brad Cales

Great drinks, amazing beans, and all natural flavors!

Lyndsey Paynter

Great spot for a quick lunch!

Fred

Great affordable breakfast place.

Mark King

Pretty good little coffee shop and bakery. Lots of sitting room and nice staff. They can get pretty busy but they stay pretty organized with order numbers. They make a fantastic Americano.

Tyler Temple

Really great food but a bit overpriced. The soup is fantastic.

Spencer Davis

Owner saw us looking confused and was very kind. Coffee was great, food was very good. A welcome spot to warm up or relax down.

Will Main

Great bakery and cafe. Fish cakes are top notch and great way to start the day. Pain Au chcocolat was also excellent. Coffee pretty good, staff wonderful. Would recommend.

Emma P

Great variety of food. Sandwiches, salad, cakes, cookies, coffee. We tried a couple of interesting flavoured cookies and they were delicious. Separate room with tables for eating. Pretty hipster atmosphere.

Carolyn Tomkins

Must try the fish cakes! So good and no flour. Other great vegan and gluten free treats. Great dark roast coffee as well.

Steve Hall

Excellent coffee shop and lots of cool local items! Picked up Tonic syrup for gin and Ginger Rose syrup for Bourbon from Third Place Cocktail Co here. Great products. And the coffee at Rocket is awesome as well.

Reema Kalani

I love Rocket Bakery. Love their bakery products. Their flakies and croissants are sooo goood. Really like the coffee and teas they make. Great staff ❤️ Always clean and amazing place to take your favorite bread. I visit the Churchill Sq. the most.

Landon Yearsley

Good food and a nice atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. Simple place to grab something quick and light to eat.

Greta Chiu

First impression wasn’t great. Staff taking my order somehow didn’t relay my coffee order to the barista, and didn’t seem to want to explain what some of the pastries were. Partridgeberry scone was more like bread in texture than scone. Coffee was ok. Nice environment for sitting down though!

Jonathan Butt

What a lovely store. Lots of fresh and unique items, fresh brewed coffee and a great selection of food for eat in or take out. Couldn't believe that they were open and busy at 8 am on a Sunday!

GordandLee Martin

Neat place, excellent cinnamon bun and tea biscuit. But, I was looking forward to a proper coffe and the young barista made a not-hot, no foam, painfully slow cappuccino. Maybe she just needs more training but that was a slow bad coffee.

Piotr Angiel

Super nice place, great food and local character!

Nate Corcoran

Great spot, good food, always busy, left off a star because it is on the pricey side for a cafe.

Ali Hejazi

Masala chai tea and balistic brownee make a realy good feel in winter evening.

Ryan Metheral

The Benhi Mi sandwich is incredible! Great french press coffee. Get dessert, too!

Keith Stapleton

great selection. high quality menu

Emily Coffen

Staff is not valued or treated respectfully, overpriced sandwiches

Adam Popper

We arrived early with our two young kids and had our choice of two high chairs. There was a change table, too. The French press was strong and delicious. The quiche was creamy, and the croissant pleased my toddler. I’d go again for sure.

Sylvia Bermudez

be sure to try their amazing chocolate chip cookie with pecans ....it's exquisite !

Alannah Monica

This is a quaint and popular location located in downtown St. John's. It's a bit expensive but a great atmosphere and everything is tasty. I highly recommend this place :D

Melissa Gregory

I had the pleasure of booking the third floor of the Rocket for my wedding. I loved the old St. John's rustic vibe that the building portrays. Exposed brick walls and pretty Edison lights. Planning this wedding from Ontario was much easier than expected as Sophie made everything so smooth for us. She was kind and helpful. The food here was delicious, full of flavor and plentiful! My guests are still talking about the food! I am so thankful we had our reception here and the staff were excellent!

Jodie Cook

Great coffee, nice people, cute setting!

Scott Martin

Excellent and helpful staff and delicious food

Pietro Paolo D'Ascanio

They have many options, good for breakfast or lunch. Food is great. Seating is a bit crowded.

Claire Lemiski

Nice cafe for coffee or lunch. Comfortable atmosphere, but slightly over-priced.

Mark Hallett

The coffee is really good and I like the local options available for purchase. I find the place more expensive than I expect and I'm often shocked whenever I get the bill. Maybe this should tell me I shouldn't buy all those delicious tarts? Nah.

Branko Horvat

Enjoyed the fresh made sandwiches and desserts. Sat and enjoyed a cup of coffee listening to the live "kitchen party" music

Lance Shaver

Fantastic food--had the fish cakes and frittata! Had the cold brew coffee and it was excellent. Good price for their beer and food, overall.

Robert Cass

Great food, carefully prepared and flavorful. Prompt service. Decent coffee. Lots of seating. Important spot as another live performance venue.

Caryn Liberman

My absolutely favourite place to have lunch. The prices are a little high for the food you’re getting but the quality is great. I always feel like I’m getting real food!

Tara Kachroo

Stopped in to pick up some sandwiches for the road -- pretty tasty, cute atmosphere, but expensive for what we got.

Dustin Mitchell

Nice combination of a bakery, sandwich shop, and coffee shop. Lots of space to sit, friendly service, good coffee... What's not to love?

OT Loc

Super-pleasant atmosphere & friendly staff, absolutely delicious bread/sandwiches, fair-trade coffee, etc. Definitely worth it to stop in!

Bugden Signs

I just had my first snowball from Rocket Bakery. Better than Nan's! #awesome

Michael Venart

Good food. Yummy breads cakes cookies...

Rebecca Young

Great family friendly environment. Cheese cake is delicious. Bathrooms are up a steep flight of stairs not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Jordan Farrell

Superb staff. Amazing baked goods. Local landmark. Great location for functions upstairs. Weddings, etc. Fishcakes are top tier. Delicious soups and fresh coffee. It's got an endless list of delectable foods to choose from.

Samantha Kristoferson

Good cup of coffee and pastries, but the service and method for ordering is bad. If you have to have a small printed list of instructions at the front door, your system is too complicated ;)

Robert Traverse

I have to say, the atmosphere is amazing and warm. The food, same compliment. Definitely enjoyed my time and meal.

Jay Lawrence

One of the best. Delicious food, and top notch coffee.

Olivia El

Very accommodating staff and many options for treats. I like that they can check all the ingredients for customers! I loved the atmosphere of the bakery and the sitting area.

Robin Barnes

Excellent espresso and the baked goods are fantastic. Try the macarons.

Eric Morrissette

Good sandwich and coffee. Kind of a miss on the Greek salad. Too expensive for what it is. ($25 for a ham sandwich and a tiny bowl of salad and a sparkling water... + grabbed a coffee to go so it makes up for a $30 lunch). Staff and owner are lovely.

Guy Viau

High quality food that tastes great and is healthy. Their barrista brews excellent and beautiful lattés. I had chicken pot pie with brocoli salad and pecan tart with a decaf latté for desert. Well worth the money.

Anna Wedlock

Favorite place in St. Johns! Cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants, and soup are delicious. Coffee was a little stale after 6 and the soup came with a really tiny piece of bread but the staff and atmosphere are deadly. There's Team Rocket amd there's Team Fixed- team rocket for the win!

Haley Kenny

Not as good since they stopped doing custom sandwiches, but good service and ok prices

A.O. De Silva

Nice place. Happy decor and enjoyed a nice latte in a proper mug. $5.

Michael Walter

Smells delicious the moment you walk in. Full of many varieties of tasty bread and baked good. Also makes great food for lunch, with some great sandwiches. They also make some great desserts, with my particular favorite being the very tasty, and very dense, bread pudding. Rocket also serves delicious coffee. Their room for eating offers a diverse range of sitting options, from a low table in the window facing the street that requires you to sit cross legged, to an old church pew at a table. Highly recommend eating anything here.

Linda Baribeau

A few vegan options, good food and great ambiance

Jim Butler

Excellent home made food. Prices are high, but you quickly forget that after the first bite

Peter Sorensen

Great coffee and cake goods.

Charlene Carr

Great place for a quick bite or drink. The food is always yummy and it has a laid back atmosphere.

Brian Morris

Quaint little bakery and coffee shop. Baristas really know their stuff, and do it well

Sam Newhook

Such a cool place to chill with your friends and grab a bite to eat!

Danielle Foley

One of best places for atmosphere in the city to grab a coffee and something sweet with friends. Their Macroons are to die for!

Eddie Marrett

Fantastic chocolate croissant and a good brewed coffee. It was a cold wet day in St John's and the down town Rocket Bakery was a warm cosy haven from the weather.

Bridget Cameron

Amazing fresh food and coffee! Great place.

Canning Factory

One of my favorite places in town, fantastic baked goods, great lunches, there's always community events going on there. A delightful go to place to eat downtown.

Joey Murphy

Great, fresh food at a reasonable price. very friendly staff

Xuan Seare

cake is very delicious!got my birthday cake there,very nice place!

Josh Kahanovitch

Excellent bakery options, and some very good teas and coffees. Unique gifts sold here as well. Hot chocolate was disappointing, as it had little flavour.

Josh Gummett

Excellent freshly made food, and wonderful coffees. The freshly made bread is excellent just on its own, but it is wonderful if brought home and used to dip into a soup. The asian noodles were excellent texture and such, but we found that they weren't well seasoned. Most food could use salt (although that is generally a safer way to make food than too salty), but the asian noodles specifically needed more seasoning. My favourite was with a TSB of peanut butter, and as much sriracha as one is comfortable with.

Terry John Myers

Great spot one of the only good bakeries left in downtown (if you can't get to Georgetown bakery) great spot for lunch. Don't miss it

Katherine Neil

Best cinnamon rolls in the city. But be quick, they sell out fast.

Robert Young

Love this place! The new summer menu is lovely. Spicy chicken burrito better than expected.

Sheldon Huelin

Great service (except for the middle aged lady making coffee) and coffee/food

Jeff Ku

Great inclusive space with delicious baked goods, great coffee, and friendly atmosphere

Karen MacEwan

Very pleasant place to stop and have a specialty coffee or a tea and a baked goodie.

Todd Sharpe

Super trendy a St.John's favorite . With fresh baked goods, lunch specials and a great selection of beverages. Rocket bakery has excellent service and quality goods.

Stephen Waller

A quirky spot with great coffee and amazing Morning Muffins.

Mg 0

I don’t know about anything else, but the raisin tea buns are the best that I’ve had, tasting of delicate fresh butter, not very sweet, slightly dense and moist in texture, and absolutely delicious. The rest of Rocket was tempting, with all its other sweets and baked goods and sandwiches and coffees and souvenir mugs and, adjacent, an quaint eatery. Prices, accordingly, indicated a standard of excellence. Staff were kind and helpful.

Håvard Hasli

Great food, cosy atmosphere and nice people. Little bit waiting time for the coffee, but then again fresh from the machine.

JJBean

Love the Rocket. Consistently good food. Great staff. Best latte around ❤

Livia Power

Friendly staff! Products are always fresh.

John Newman

Lattes were served warm (but they did warm it up fro me) The sausage rolls are hearty but bland. Nice local spot.

Chris Koebel

Best ginger cookies I've ever had!

Matteo Golin

Great service but I found my croissant quite dry and stale.

Mandy Kent

Awesome vegan soup complimented the 50's themed place! The baking looks delicious and the knick knacks are cool. Great place to Christmas shop and grab a bite!

Michael Schwinghamer

The food and coffee is rock solid at Rocket. It's pricey but worth it. It would be five stars if the organization was improved.

Sarah Kakeeway

The Rocket has a great selection of pastries as well as lunch time items. They have gluten free and vegan options as well. It’s a great place to sit and have a coffee or meet a friend for lunch. They often have musical guests that add a lovely atmosphere.

Adam ray

Great coffee, food is amazing, great atmosphere! All of the staff are very chill. The art work is unique. I love the table and chairs that are mismatched but provide a very homey feeling.

Rector St John London

Great espresso & casual atmosphere & awesome food

Dale Northey

Fresh made stuff with day old stuff clearly marked and discounted. They make "everything except the tortillas". This place can get super busy so bring a little patience. The barista station was slammed and, all I wanted was a brewed coffee, so I noticed they were a little sluggish getting a second body to assist. We weren't disappointed with anything we put in our mouths from the partridge berry scones to the tourtiere - excellent pie pastry and my better half has me spoiled in that regard.

Mauzoon Waseem

This place really have some great bakery items. Have been going their for breakfast frequently and have recently tried their Almond Croissants and Cheesecake and I can tell you that they have the most authentic Cheesecake in town. Their Croissants are also good. From a pricing standpoint, I find the place to be on the higher side as compared to other bakeries in town. Their staff is friendly as well.

Danny

Good coffee but funky smell.

Nick Giffin

I stopped here for lunch recently and had a very good sandwich. They seem to have a lot of great food, and I wish I'd tried the bakery. In an area filled with pubs, Rocket seems like a great place to have a decent meal.

Jon Barbour

Great food. Nice staff. Cool place to socialize over coffees and snacks.

Alex McGruer

Great food and a nice place to take a friend. Most recently this was the Mount Pearl Location. Sadly Water Street is now gone. It will be missed.

Grace Duncan

Food is very very tasty but the portions aren't very big for the cost. Cool atmosphere though definitely worth checking out!

Janice Graj

We love the fish cakes here, just like my mom's. My husband said it was his favorite place to have coffee in St John's.

Thomas Cooper

Staff and ownership work exceptionally hard for your business. A brilliant piece of downtown St. John's...if every business was as resiliant and innovative as Rocket, St. John's would be a case study for downtown rejuvenation in North America!

John Paul Handrigan

Great place to a grab a coffee and a treat. There's plenty of seating, but the place does get pretty busy.

chris Frayer

Great Americano, scone and the best damn salted cod fish cake you'll ever eat.

Stephen McNutt

Every time I visit St. John's I need to eat here. The "COD" fish cakes are amazing. The sandwiches, delicious. Coffee is fresh and the staff are quite pleasant. HIGHLY recommended. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Pablo Vega Behar

Very good coffee. Pastries are hit or miss, but if you get the good ones, they're really good. I recommend the bread pudding. They also have very good sandwiches, soups, wraps, and salads. Cool sitting area where you can spend time working/reading/chatting with friends, etc.

Nicole McReavy

Fun atmosphere. Food was excellent. Loved the ambience.

Andrew Ha

Great food and location. Fish cakes are fantastic!

Stella Iu

You can get a bit lost finding the right line to queue up on: bakery, food, or coffee. You need to line up to order then hang around and wait, making it a very busy and crowded spot. The food is alright, the coffee is good, the bakery is hit or miss. Once you get out of the crowded serving space, the dining area is quite chill and you can relax with a book or hang with friends.

John O’Brien

Amazing food, ambiance and weather (sunny and 3 on Feb 15??)

Mary Robinson

Focused on local sustainably raised food. Everything tastes wonderful! Not good for gluten free since its primarily a bakery, but there are some things. As well as macarons and a couple of gfree sweet treats, they also make gluten free fish cakes and several types of salad. If you're one of the lucky ones who can eay whatever you want, The Rocket will make you very, very happy!

Helen Anderson

The food and coffee are amazing and the service was wonderful!

Brittany Picanco

Cute local cafe with lots of options to eat and drink. The pastries are extremely fresh and delicious. Would recommend coming here!

Luis Ramirez

We were received by the owner, and she was absolutely lovely showing us how the system works. The food was wonderful and not pricey at all. Excellent live music as well.

Charline Myers

LOVE IT... had the best latte! Food is great.

Lisa Muise

It was really nice to get out of the house. Had a lovely lunch at Rocket and enjoyed it outside in the sun.

Considerate Prick

The raspberry Danish was very good. More chocolate in the chocolatine would be better. And the butter croissant ???? was a bit salty.

Caitlin MF

Funky place that's fun to check out. Food is good enough. Coffee & baled goods are good too.

Tom King

Lots of baked choices. Love the old store feel. Staff were just ok. Not really helpful but did do their job. Would be nicer to try a little harder.

mark hickey

Great store! Good coffee and awesome bread!! Staff are friendly and helpful for new customers!!! Jilust ask and they are more than happy to help! The store is like a horse shoe for covid so make sure you dont forget your bread or coffee!!! Will be back and highly recommend!!

Josh Andrews

Friendly staff. Menu has a little bit of everything for everyone. From bread, to hot chocolate, to beer to butter tarts.

James McManus

Delicious and fun! I went during a trad session.

Jody Sparkes

Great coffee and desserts... Sammie's sound delicious but I haven't had yet.

Courtney Babott

Great coffee and cinnamon rolls. So much character inside.

Stewart Rand

Nice atmosphere. I think the turkey soup should be called tomato vegetable, however, as it was 99% vegetables, 1% turkey. I only had one piece of turkey in my soup. Pretty pricey, too.

Steve Giac

Great place for breakfast/lunch. Very good coffee, sandwiches, breads and pastries. Nice people

Paul M

A high-quality bakery situation going on here. Visited twice while exploring St. Johns.

Noel Bennett

I'm not in the habit of writing reviews but feel compelled to comment on what I see as the short comings of the Rocket. 3 yrs ago I discovered the Rocket while working in downtown St John's and have gone there religiously on every trip to St John's, great coffee, love the food, casual atmosphere and service is good. On this trip I took my wife to the Rocket for a late breakfast thinking it would be a good experience. We placed our order were asked to be seated and our food would be delivered. There were no seats available so I informed the cashier, we were then seated at a table the size of a large dinner plate in the corner of what looks like a stockroom there goes the pleasant atmosphere. Our food arrived my wife had a speciality toast with avacado and it was quite nice, I had the breakfast hash it was poor quality, small quantity and over priced. The dish was mostly potato with a dry over cooked egg on top, the peppers and other veggies listed on the menu were spray on at best, this is not the Rocket I remember. The staff does not seem to be engaged in their jobs or their customers this is not what we experienced at any other business on our trip. The Rocket now seems more like a hang-out with "nobody minding the store" Unfortunately I think the Rocket has become a Dud

Deanna Simms

Awesome vegan options. I love everything about this cozy place. Warm ,welcoming ,friendly. Casual place to have very tasty homemade treats and lunch. Xo

Lady L.

The food is ok and pretty expensive. I paid nearly $10 for a piece of cake that was extremely sweet. A cake needs to be consistent and fresh not overly powerfully sweet. We also waited a long time to pay for a soda while there was no one in the shop. I'd go back only in case of hunger emergency.

Master iOqY

Chic café but we found the price to be $$ for the quality and the service was aloof at best. At least the adjacent space was comfortable, cozy and wifi was available

Dave Banko

Is open 365 days a year and serves some of the best baked goods in town. It hosts local and visiting performers fairly regularly, especially during tourist season. The coffee and service is pretty good. The only con about this place is that it can get a little confusing and chaotic when it's really busy and your ordering from 2 different counters.

Sarah Wagner

All the food here is amazing, but the pulled pork turnover was far and away the best.

Dustin Tennent

Really good coffee, pastries, and even better atmosphere!

Ivan Zendel

Lovely authentic coffee and lunch. Worth it.

Miriam MacLeod (Mimi)

Surprised there was no fresh breakfast made. Not told if there is a time to come to get it. But 8:45 am was too early. Went home and made our own breakfast, which was delicous.

Bill Strange

Great place much selections don't look at the prices they deliver in taste!

David Greenawald

Some excellent baked goods, some slightly miss the mark. Great vibes, occasional live music. Friendly staff. I will definitely be going back.

Wilbur Maxino

Such a cool place to hang out. Nice mix of big bands/50s-60s vocal jazz, tasty simple foods, good coffee, great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Jason Peach

Visited this past weekend. Ordered a chicken blt and a small broccoli salad. Also had a bottled water. A little disappointed with the $22ish price tag. Don't get me wrong, there are other places that cost more but there are others just as good for less. The sandwich was okay. The salad was okay. The atmosphere and location are fantastic. The coffee smelled great. The desserts and pastry looked pretty good. The staff were top notch. Will definately visit again to try something else and update. But 3 stars for now based on food/price.

Aidan Leach

Great fresh baked goods. Great soup and sandwiches as well. Friendly and fast service and a great atmosphere.

Antje Springmann

Great downtown coffee shop/bakery. Prepared foods available to take out. A bit pricey.

Curren Li

Always love the cafe here

Nicole Smed

Historically queer-friendly and accessible! The prices are fantastic for the top-quality baking. Everyone's favourite spot in St. John's!

Justin Ng

Would I come back: Yes! Value: Really enjoyed the feel and ambiance of the store. Had a lot of personality and all of the staff were friendly and engaging. The Good: Food (we had the smokey) was tasty. We sat around for a bit using their wifi and saw the restaurant fill up with lots of people going in and out. The Bad: Wasn't "bad" just felt like the coffee could've had a bit more flavour. Bath/Rest/Wash-rooms: Clean (upstairs).

Luke Hachey

Coffee: delicious. The ideal place to stock up on a yummy, healthy picnic lunch. Nice rustic space too. A gem.

Paul Brown

The Rocket is open for business on Water Street with a nice outdoor eating area. We stopped in on a sunny afternoon last week and had Tomato Basil Soup with a coffee and a chocolate croissant for dessert. Great again as usual! Make sure to stop by and support this great local eatery and be sure to follow their social distancing markers and rules.

Jay Borenstein

If you want hipster-crafted delicious baked goods, this is yer place.

Jean-Paul Bouliane

Great little place for a cup and a snack. Way more than you would ever want.

Adam Deutsch

Popped in to grab a coffee and sweet with my partner today. The coffee was amazing, and so was the brownie that I got! I was extremely impressed with the price point of everything offered by Rocket Bakery. My partner got a London Fog and …

This was a phenomenal place to have breakfast at! Their breakfast croissants were amazing and also their cinnamon buns. And with a americano to go with it, it was tops.

Adam Smiley

Great location and decor. Lots of space to enjoy a coffee and a meal.

Caitlin Madley

So many salads, baked goodies, burritos etc. Cutest little bakery with a very vintage feel

Andrew Walsh

Good lunch specials. Great spot of you happen to be down town lunch time.

Elise Barrie

Prices were decent and location is good for tourists, although very small and cramped. Unfortunately the raspberry "flakey" we bought was just layers of raw pastry dough. The "sinful cinnamon buns" were lacking as well; a dry lump of …

Nicholas Woon

Amazing fish cakes. Really chunky

Chloe White

LOVE the rocket, especially their scones and hummus, talk about WOW

Jana Smith

We went to Rocket Bakery because it was recommended by others. Hmmm..., it was hardly worth it. The crab cakes we had were chewy and smelled fishy and the strawberry mint scones were very mediocre. The coffee was very good but when we return to St. John's we will not go back.

Deborah Kuo

The 50s rocket theme of the restaurant is really fun and gives it an informal and fun-loving atmosphere where there is a constant buzz about the place. It's always busy from what we saw and when we went for lunch, we were pleasantly surprised with the fun atmosphere and the great informal service. They have a neat way where you head to the back and grab a numbered card out of a toaster and wait until you are called to give your order. The food is all delicious and there is nothing that isn't just what you'd want to eat. The coffee and the cafe is good and they do things in a simple and honest way. I loved the iced tea which wasn't sweetened. Perfect spot to get a quick bite. Worth checking out for breakfast/lunch if you're in the area.

Craig Stamp

In the morning - coffee, cinnamon rolls and chocolatines are excellent. But in the evening you are likely to get lower quality service. From 5pm to 9pm they seem like they are in their last 30 mins.

Shauna Lynch

Rocket is a great place to meet up with a pal for coffee. The large seating area is very inviting and you're bound to run into someone you know. The place draws a good mix from students workings, to family outings, to people having a snack on their lunch break. Lunch is great, the baked goods are fairly good. Defiantly a great place to drop into in St. John's.

Ryan Jackson

The quiche and coffee are both very good. Service can get a bit backed up but if you don't mind the wait it's worth it. The staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Mick Huerta

The morning service is fast, friendly and confident! Fruit salad, quiche and tall coffee make for a delicious breakfast on-the-go! And the tables outside added a good vibe to an already positive experience!

Catherine Crosbie

Rocket is the best place in downtown St. John's to go for coffee. The cappuccinos are my go-to. I also highly recommend the breads and croissants.

Blair Norton

Nothing fancy, but they know how to make a croissant and other pastries. Free WiFi, coffee bar.

PIMP VLOGZ

It’s unfortunate that this icon of a place how started going downhill; poor service, really touristy and quite expensive has made this place not what it use to be.

Jon Timmins

This place is bohemian. The atmosphere is nice, but the staff are slow, possibly stoned. The Baker goods are worth the trip back though.

Kaveh M

A very cozy place, with positive atmosphere and really fresh bakery products. Absolutely amazing!

Meghan S

Fantastic food and staff! Highly recommend the bread pudding :)

Geoff McBriarty

Always try to get here when I'm in St. John's. Best coffee and pastries in the city

Discovering Destinations

If you are visiting St John's Newfoundland, don't forget to add to your list of "Must do" at least a dessert Rocket Bakery & Fresh Food which is a place you can just sit, relax and enjoy a great coffee, sandwiche or amazing desserts. You can also buy local products in their store or take out if you prefer to eat at your hotel room. We totally recommend!!!

Polina Tarasenko

Delicious treats and friendly service.

Amber S.

Excellent coffee and baked goods! So glad we found this place during our travels to St. Johns.

don hines

Great variety of baking and desserts. Very cool atmosphere.

Catherine Conway

Ate our delicious food so fast I couldn't take a picture. Owner greeted us and toured us around. Delicious coffee, great food, lovely atmosphere.

Pierre Talavéra

Nice place to spend a bit of time

Adam Pollack

Most delicious cake and brownies I’ve had in St John’s. Looking forward to future visits and treats

Kyle Cruickshanks

For a pre made sandwich spot the food was excellent. Fish cakes are a must try. Only complaint is that it's a little bit pricey.

J W

Come for buying treats and baked goods sure. But do not try to buy coffee here. I waited 30 mins for an Americano. If you see a crowd waiting by the coffee bar, just skip it.

Philip Mugford

Great food! Love the pulled pork turnovers! A must try.

Mitchell Heistinger

Great atmosphere, good coffee. Try the fishcakes.

Katrina

Rocket refused to give our wedding deposit back even though it would have been impossible for them to provide the services agreed upon at the time of booking. When we were forced to rebook our wedding plans at the Rocket Room due to Covid in 2020, we were initially told that our deposit would be held in trust until such time as the event could be rescheduled. When venues were again allowed to operate some months later, we were still unable to return to Canada from Australia due to travel restrictions in both countries. Then, near the end of 2020 we were informed by the Rocket ownership that they were moving from their old Water Street location and would, as a result, be losing the function room, and therefore unable to hold weddings in 2021. We were then told, after several emails back and forth with proprietor Dave Hopley, that we would receive no compensation of any kind from Rocket, despite the fact that the facilities we had paid for no longer existed. We got nothing at all for our money because of the supposed financial hardships that Covid had foisted upon Rocket Bakery; a company which, 18 months later, is now operating 3 locations. Covid has been devastating for many and outside anyone's control but I am absolutely shocked that they can get away with keeping our money, when they are still operating a successful business. It is truly shameful behaviour from a company that has the gall to associate itself with the traditional Newfoundland values of kindness and community. What is worse, I strongly suspect that we are not alone in our experience.

Teresita Dziadura

Awesome food, coffee and the tea is second to none. Excellent polite and friendly staff.

Irtaza Tahir

The food at this bakery was amazing!!! I had their sun dried tomato quiche and it was to-die-for. ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* Literally, i died and went to heaven from the delicious mouth watering taste of that quiche. ଘ(੭*ˊᵕˋ)੭* The space had great service and ambiance. Would go again 12/10.

Daniel Langen

The coffee is great. The food is good too, however the sandwiches are pre-made rather than made fresh upon order.

Kevin Earle

Great coffee ☕ and pastries on a main street. We revisited because it was so great on our first visit ????????

Jennifer Crowder

This was one of the most culturally rich experiences I have ever had. We stopped in for a coffee and some quiet time and didn't know that a Kitchen party was about to begin. Five men playing a bass guitar, a flute, an accordion a fiddle and a dulcimer. It was amazing. And the food and service was incredible

Agent Chatman

Fantastic spot! The staff are super friendly & efficient. Sandwiches and coffee a fabulous. The added sidewalk seating makes it an ideal spot for a snack and taking in the local scenery.

L Kay

I couldn't choose what to get! Had the screech and pulled pork pie.. it was so good. Also got ginger cookies. The fish cakes were outstanding and the broccoli cheese soup was delicious. Place is clean staff are friendly and extra helpful. I could eat here every day!

Patricia Burletoff

You have to stop here! This bakery has the most incredible shortbread and soft ginger cookies. Their sandwiches also look incredible. Dont miss this gem!

Ryan Wilcox

I have been a patron of Rocket for over 5 years now, and have always been a big supporter of local businesses. However, recently I have noticed Rockets vibe changing and I wasn’t able to place what was different. Late last week it clicked when I was in for lunch. Nearly all the staff appear tired, lethargic and defeated these days, a far cry from the Rocket of a year and a bit ago. I was contemplating how an entire workforce gets this way when I noticed something. Down on the retail floor was one of the co-owners berating an employee’s. His conduct was totally unbecoming, unprofessional and outright embarrassing. It was almost like he went from talking to a child, to yelling and belittling in a blink of an eye. This is NOT conductive management behaviour and frankly I was disgusted. After seeing that I decided to reassess my shopping habits and explore some new locations in town, of which there are many. Hopefully Rocket can correct this staffs management approach before that mentality and behaviour so blatantly displayed manifests into a cancer throughout all the staff. Because what I saw was so out of line and unprofessional and I can only imagine what is occurring off the retail floor. Shame!

Danielle Gardiner

Beautiful venue for a wedding upstairs, just right for the group we had, drink options at bar could be more broad, more liquor types and more mix types, def will be way to hot in July and August, it was pretty warm in may, mini split or A.C. might be an idea someday

Professor Squish

Little expensive but sooo worth it. Sandwiches are great, dying to taste more of their cakes and baked goods

Mary Sooley

Friendly, lively, energetic atmosphere, super friendly owner-going back in the morning for fishcakes and coffee! A must see and original Newfoundland experience with accordion playing and newfoundland cuisine.

Natalie Buley

Yummy fresh food and friendly service:) travelling from Cape Town South Africa and been to a couple of coffee shops along the way ☺️

Jose CM

Excellent place. They got chairs outside so I can bring my doggy and sit outside.

Andrew Fenton

This is a pretty cool place. Coffee smells awesome and the snacks yummy

Scott March

Great service and the breakfast sandwich is some good

Theresa L

Great coffee, good baked goods, cute decor, spacious, free wifi, and friendly staff. Highly recommended! ????????

Tina B

Delicious food and drinks. Very busy during the summer months.

Eden Sullivan

Very cute shop I had a matcha latte which was great

Riley T

Food was amazing and well priced, servers were kind, atmosphere was amazing

Reni Caccamo

Perfect place to spend some time drinking a nice cappuccino and croissant in a relaxing setting. Pastries a baked fresh daily and the coffee is top notch. Love the table area.

Ann Anctil

Greeted as soon as we entered...so delightful. Enjoyed a blueberry scone, cinnamon bun and the croissant breakfast sandwich. And the “Wicked Shortbread Chocolate Bites” are DELICIOUS for all those who love shortbread!!!

Mike Wasser

Great coffee & bread pudding! Looking forward to trying more!

Eric Eric

Excellent coffee from phil & sebastian (Calgary, AB.), local roaster Bonavista coffee, and a few others. Also the Ginger cookies are superb! Can get quite busy, but worth waiting for!

Joelle Frigault

I found the set up to be a little comfusing when I got in. Even if they had cute sign when you got in. The service, coffee and food was very good. Very busy coffee shop but loved the vibe it give.

Kate Lundrigan

Only had one gf dessert option and the cappuccino didn't have any foam.

Aurelio Ferrazzano

Nice place for breakfast. Good coffee. Reasonable prices. Good to try.

Alexis Lakey

Love the refreshing kale salad... the Greek yogurt and homemade granola... the frittata... the real dark rich cappuccino! The most wholesome breakfast in downtown St John's.

Julia Hardwick-Smith

Delicious food! Breakfast, lunch and plenty of Sweets and savory items for in-between

Sarah K

My favorite coffee shop in town! Great coffee and baked goods, including super yummy breads and macarons. Great for any occasion!

Mark Evans

Nice place, trendy place....Would get five stars if they had a better system for their lineups( confusing)to order and pay for stuff.

Nelson Seto

Cute resto with vintage decor. The staff is smiley and helpful. There's a good selection of pastries and sandwiches and warm food. I had the pulled pork turnover and it was ok. They used a lot of spices for their sauce so I wasn't taking it pretty well. Their coffee is supposed to be one of the best, but it can be a bit stronger.

Jo Nolte

Coffee & atmosphere very good. Unfortunately, they lost our breakfast order. Burrito was full and fresh, breakfast croissant was greasy, and the bacon fatty and tasted old. ???? Paying for atmosphere.

Jolene

I do love Rockets. The service is always good and for the most part the food is always lovely (any food I dislike just has to do with personal preferences). Rockets can be pricey and sometimes it feels like it is too expensive for what you get-but that is a common trait shared by a lot of local businesses-since they make things onsite and use local ingredients. The food is always fresh and the staff always greets customers with smiles on their faces. However it can be loud/busy there and there is never a quiet time in the day to go. It has a great over-all atmosphere over-all and it is very warm abd homey. My personal favourite menu items are the pulled pork turnover (which is lovely) and the raspberry buttercream chocolate cake. I would go with a Mocha for my drink in the winter, and lemonade in the summer. Overall Rocket Bakery is a great Newfoundland style bakery and I definitely reccomend visiting especially if it is your first time visiting in the city.

John Macdonald

Was an awesome place we really enjoy our meals. The staff were all very friendly and very helpful in point out some local points of intrest. Thank you

Doris Sawrie

Visited this bakery for a cronut and I have to say that the cronut was dry, tasteless and was not worth the $5.00 I spent for one. Leads me to wonder how good the rest of their bakery items are like.

Sandra Hamelmann

Popular. Pick your own meal or snack from the glass cases. Very tempting home-baked treats. I enjoyed my cheesecake tremendously.

Kyran Dwyer

Food is delicious and stuff are friendly.

Ricky King

Pricey but it's a nice, casual place to have a coffee and a snack.

Gabriel B (Gaboost)

Better than everything there for cofee and breakfest. The chef is a real master and that place rock !!

Steph Lewis

One of my favorite places to go for a hot beverage or lunch.

vivian tao

The most famous cafe shop in main street (water street) there are numerous stuffs and also provide seat and Wi-Fi.

Dave Roberts

Great lunches and coffee. Cool place. Popular.

Richard McLean

Best fish cake I've ever had. And the bread pudding was amazing too!

Heather Boston

Fantastic breakfast croissants! The London fog tea was delicious!

David Stephenson

Just dropped in for coffee- decor like an old seaside cafe - atmosphere buzzing with local folk. Great place.

Oliver Huhn

Nice place! Delicious cakes, tartes, pastries and cookies. Excellent coffees. Charming chaos, all ages, peaceful and nice.

tiffany roberts

Super over priced for mediocre food. I have eaten here a couple times in hope that my one bad experience would remain just that but each time has been a bigger let down than the last. The prices are absolutely insane $10 for a simple grilled cheese, very small discounts on day old sandwiches. I recently had a day old sandwich, a cinnamon bun and a lemonade which honestly was too sour to even drink and it cost well over $20. I love the atmosphere and I’m all about supporting local businesses but I just can’t support any business ripping off their customers like this.

Tom

What happened to the old location? When I was last in St. Johns, Rockets was in an amazing spot with great food, great drinks, lots of little trinkets and gifts, and a nice sitting area, etc. This new location is so much smaller with very limited options - not much of an experience anymore for a tourist. Why the downgrade???

Jess Green

They are refusing many people their deposit back for their wedding bookings. Even though the Rocket can no longer provide most of the services that were originally promised during the initial booking. My heart goes out to these poor couples who are having such difficulties while just trying to salvage their special days. It was out of everyone's control the restrictions that COVID-19 has brought on. That is no reason for a business to refuse to compromise in ANY way during these unforseen circumstances. I pride myself on supporting local, but I certainly won't be supporting a local business that has been treating local people like a dollar sign instead of human beings just trying to celebrate one of the most important days of their lives.

B

I'm a regular customer, so not much negatively to comment about. The regular staff members there now are very good. Maybe the cappuccino could be larger.

Alyx Ivany

Delicious creamy espresso and the best blueberry tarts on earth!

Cliff Quick

Stopped for a quick brunch. Very nice decor, old fashioned charm, pleasant staff. Ham and Swiss sandwich was fresh and tasty. Would recommend to others for a visit. My first time, visiting from Hamilton, Ont.

Dgate Cycle

Amazing Lattes. Some of the best I've ever tried. They used to get their beans from Phil and Sebastian. Their baked goods are great. Awesome breakfast burritos. Service is friendly. The only issue is the lack of street parking in the area.

Caroline Pépin

Good food, live music

TheBushcraftKayaker

Great food Great coffee Great service Great vibe What else can you ask for?

Laura Ng Chin Yue

Lots of sunlight. Good food and drinks. Nice sitting area. Colourful. For solo ppl, couples, groups of friends...it welcomes everyone. Love it there! It has a vibrant positive energy!

Aaron Blackmore

Best Chai Tea Latte and Cappuccino here :)

Craig Cook

The most interesting venue for a bakery and deli that I have ever seen. Eclectic, interesting, historic, cosy like a huge woolen blanket.

B Davis

Great food, as a large number of people hav already discovered

Rus Kelland

Great coffee, excellent croissants, and delicious fishcakes.

Christine Milway

Had a really good lunch. The soups are wonderful.

Jacqueline Griffin

Lovely bakery, nice place for lunch, good prices, busy atmosphere but enjoyable. Lots of different baked goods, not just the run of the mill usual baked goods. Good prices.

Rhona Hynes

Tried your cowboy coolies..they were great..and purchased your chocolate almond fudge..haven't tried these yet..will be visiting Mt.Pearl location soon...looking forward tk your open at Bannister Sq.....

Ruth Martin

Had a lovely time experiencing a "kitchen party" with traditional Newfoundland music and yummy food!

William Campbell

Cute spot. Decent food. Super touristy but Slow as heck.

Martin Ubank

Good range of tasty food with smiley welcoming staff.

Gonzalez Thomas C

Can't recommend this place, at least not for lunch. I got their chicken burrito, which had obviously been made earlier in the day and then reheated in an oven. There were also premade sandwiches on display that looked like they had been there for a while. Their cakes looked nice so maybe there are some things that they do well.

Lucky Eat

Wonderful place with cornucopia of all things you look for to have a good time for a short coffee or tea break. Not up be missed

Reem Al baqaen

Love this place,their french toast is so yummy and really good coffee too

Purepower619 (Purepower619)

Amazing place for a first timer. Great and friendly staff. Will be returning for sure.

Leah S.

Delicious food and coffee. Different set up but overall nice atmosphere. Food seems overpriced for what you get.

Matt Barbour

Great sandwiches and burritos, and some of the best coffee in town.

Danny Reid

Excellent coffee, great snacks, an excellent place to chat or host a small business meeting

Nadia Rodzinski

Best fish cakes hands down best soup best steak dip sandwich best kale salad just amazing all around a must visit for tourists from all over

Carl U

Nice place to sit and relax. Coffee was above average and the cheesecake was good, however the prices were a little high for what you get. Staff was very friendly and even remade a coffee for me after it sat too long when I didn't hear my order called.

Chris Hahn

Awesome baked goods

Mark Harvey

Def the most interesting sandwiches in St John's. Sausage roll, mac and cheese tart, and butter chicken turnovers are all first rate. Coffee and pastries are great too. My only complaint would be that the day old sandwiches are only 10% off.

Russell Dawe

Wonderful freshly cooked food. Especially recommend the pulled pork turnover. Delicious selection of baked treats, and some of the best coffee and espresso in the city. Friendly atmosphere and a casual welcoming atmosphere for a leisurely lunch or just grab a bite to go!

Amy M

I was excited to try this place but I couldn't even get through the door. Had my daughter in the stroller and the staff just watched me struggle with the doors. Ended up just leaving. Very sad that they aren't supportive of the handicapped and kids

Amy Baker

The bread pudding was out of this world amazing! Americano was perfect.10/10 would purchase again.

A. H.

Had a bite and some great coffee at least 3 times during my weeklong visit to St Johns. Rocket Bakery is really worth a visit. Best cinnabuns I've ever had!

Wallace Crane

Great sandwiches. Friendly staff. A little pricy but worth a try for the atmosphere.

Jean Graham

Our go-to coffee spot. Also lunch. Picnics. Bread. Pastries, sandwiches, sausage rolls, salad -- and terrific service. All this in a business with a social conscience and a community heart.

Colin Cox

Once you get past the confusing separate order counter and serving counter, it's a fun and tasty place to eat a light lunch, snack or coffee. Lots of take-a-way foods available.

Samantha Lawlor

Great vegan choices and knowledgeable staff. Excellent atmosphere and ask for a fantastic price. We will be back for sure!

Kama Miller

Amazing baked goods and excellent selection of beverages. Was recommended by the hotel I was staying at and glad I took their advice. Staff was friendly, quick and knowledgeable about their selections.

Tammy Pennell

We rented the room upstairs for a 50th Birthday Party. Food and atmosphere were great!

Tina Price

Waited all week to get there, then they have no gluten free items. coffee good though.

Doug Arnold

A unique place with ambience oozing from the varied rooms. The staff are fantastic at helping you with food options. If I lived in St. John's, I would weigh a whole lot more because of this fine establishment.

T S

I wish I could find them more stars… my chocolatine was disappointing though the pastry was decent. The lack of chocolate impacted my overall enjoyment. Their current scone (not pictured) was good though it was very dense and floury than …

Christina Peach

Cute little bakery in the heart of downtown. Usually pretty packed and the seating outside is a little too out in the sidewalk but overall great place
