While visiting St. John's, many locals had recommended that we stop at the Rocket Bakery for wonderful coffee and their famous fish cakes. Both the coffee and the fish cakes did not disappoint!

This is a charming local café on the pedestrian only stretch of Water Street. It is perfectly located for a quick snack or simply a great coffee.

The baristas were extremely friendly, informative, and crafted a perfect Cortado. Their beans came...

Found this quirky place in the Moon travel book. Terrific Linzer cookie, they call them “peek-a-boos”. The breakfast sandwich is a must, and the London Fog was one of the best I’ve had. We stopped in to get out of the rain and am so glad we did.

Went this morning for brunch. The fish cakes are good but they crumble like crazy so I recommend grabbing a spoon. We did however find a bone in ours so be careful. The flakey was great. We ordered an ice latte with a shot of vanilla and they forgot to the shot. For some reason it also tasted like burnt espresso. Overall we were disappointed because we had really high hopes for this place.
