Great drinks and good food with a nice atmosphere. The staff take a long time to acknowledge you before taking your order, it seems like there is only 1-2 people on at a time.

Excellent coffee, but the cafe was woefully understaffed. One staff member was very rushed and was doing the best he could.That said, service was pleasant and as quick as he could muster (there was quite a long wait for just a coffee)

Cozy hip spot.

Unfortunately Rocket has taken a nosedive in terms of service. Their food and coffee is good, if you can get it. However, it takes AGES. Many people run in to get a coffee and end up waiting 20+ minutes. I was just there and ordered a latte which took almost 20 mins, and the couple who had ordered before me ended up asking for a refund and leaving because they couldn't wait any longer. 30+ minutes for to go food and coffee isn't going to cut it for most people. If you have time to go in, order, sit and wait then it's lovely. But if you expect any kind of expedience on to go orders, you will be sorely disappointed. The staff is also apparently overwhelmed. They cannot keep up with orders. As a result, they are snappy and rude, which I understand, but something needs to be done about it. MANAGEMENT - where are you?

The food and drinks were good, however the service was indifferent at best. The store wasn’t busy. Ordered a cappuccino, two lattes, a brewed coffee, two breakfast sandwiches and an oat square. The drinks and square showed up about 30 minutes after the sandwiches. When the server was asked if the remainder of the order had been forgotten, she was indignant at being asked.

A great place for lunch. We enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich and chicken salad wrap. Good coffee and reasonable prices too. The outdoor seating area is a good place to take in the Water Street experience.

Went this morning for coffee and to pick up some pastries. My vanilla latte was ok but I wanted it in a mug and they gave it to me in a take away cup. Pain au chocolate was nothing special. I would pass on these. However Raspberry flakie is to die for! Wonderful- I loved it!

The Coffee tastes like an old sock , it also smelled funny . To add insult to injury the price gouging is out of control in NFLD I would NOT go here and the review above are far from truth ..

The price of their coffee doesn’t seem to match the quality anymore (final product, the cups that are used now, etc.). I understand these are tough financial times, but I don’t see the value in being a customer at the moment.

We bought some pastries here while staying in St John’s. The cinnamon buns were amazing and the pain au chocolat was very good. Quick service. They seemed to be doing a brisk business, also selling sandwiches for lunch. They open at 8:30am.
