What to Order
Fish Cakes
These savory fish cakes are a local staple, packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. Enjoy them plain or with their special dipping sauce.
"I tried the fish cakes in a few other places before stopping at Rocket Bakery. These fish cakes were full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. I had the first one plain and the second one I dipped the fish cake in their special sauce.... It changed my life. Wow!"
Luca Arnaldi
Flakie
A highly popular pastry, the Flakie is a must-try for its delicate layers and delicious taste. They sell out quickly, so grab one early!
"Best flaky ever. Go early, they go fast."
Merna
Partridge Berry Scone
These scones feature local partridge berries, offering a unique and delicious taste of Newfoundland. They are a perfect pairing with coffee.
"Fish cakes and partridge berry scone was fabulous."

Best Kind Breakfast Sandwich
A hearty and delicious breakfast sandwich, often served on a croissant or bagel, making for a satisfying start to your day.
"Food is delicious (highly recommend the Best Kind breakfast sandwich)."
Kim Bourne Doughty
Cuban Sandwich on Ciabatta
This sandwich is a fan favorite, praised for its flavor and served on fresh ciabatta bread. It's a staple for many regulars.
"I'm obsessed with their Cuban sandwich on ciabatta. If anyone from the cafe is reading this, please please please never take it off the menu."
Max Hill
Chocolate Chip Cookies
These classic cookies are highly recommended and a perfect treat to enjoy with coffee or on their own.
"CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!! Interesting vibe, had a light lunch there and went back for the cookies on referral from wpgeats. Would return for chocolate chip cookies in a heartbeat."
Lynne Unger
Coffee (Cortado, Cold Brew, Matcha Latte)
Rocket Bakery is known for its excellent coffee, with options like a perfectly balanced Cortado, refreshing cold brew, and well-made matcha lattes.
"The baristas were extremely friendly, informative, and crafted a perfect Cortado. Their beans came from Phil and Sebastian coffee roasters which the barista informed me was a roastery out of Alberta. The Cortado was rich, chocolaty and perfectly balanced. It paired surprisingly well with the fish cake!"
