Rockets Cafe and Takeaway is a casual, approachable spot nestled on The Entrance Road in Long Jetty, perfect for locals looking to grab quality coffee alongside hearty, straightforward meals. This cafe blends the easygoing vibe of a neighbourhood favourite with a menu that covers all the morning and midday essentials, making it a reliable choice whether you’re after a quick breakfast, a relaxed lunch, or a caffeine pick-me-up.

Inside and out, Rockets feels unpretentious and practical. The undercover outdoor seating accommodates those who enjoy a bit of fresh air without worrying about the weather, while dog owners appreciate its pet-friendly atmosphere—a rare bonus for cafe outings in the area. Ample parking nearby also eases one common local concern, making popping in uncomplicated.

Coffee is clearly a focus here, with a well-regarded dark roast blend drawing regulars throughout the morning and early afternoon. It pairs naturally with menu highlights like the big breakfast plates, breakfast wraps, and omelettes that locals describe as generous in size and satisfying after an active morning. The takeaway option suits people on the move, including workers or visitors exploring the northern edge of the Central Coast.

The menu also caters to diverse tastes with homemade options like veggie and pulled pork burgers, alongside more classic indulgences such as the cheesy deluxe burger or crispy chicken burger with housemade chilli jam. While the food leans toward café classics, the emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients shows through in the authentic flavours and consistency.

Rockets thrives on friendly service and community connection, with many patrons noticing how the team makes an effort to accommodate regulars and newcomers alike. Whether you're settling in with a milkshake, grabbing a quick bacon and egg roll, or sharing a mixed platter during a casual meet-up, the pace here suits both lingering and takeaway.

Early weekend mornings or weekday mid-mornings tend to be the best times to catch this spot beyond the usual workday rush, when you can enjoy attentive service and a quieter atmosphere. Overall, Rockets Cafe and Takeaway fits neatly into the Long Jetty neighbourhood as a coffee and food stop that feels both community minded and straightforwardly satisfying.

We had breakfast here on a Saturday morning and it really is a hidden gem. Very well priced and amazing customer service. The coffee is amazing and they also like to use local produce and local shops for their supplies so very supportive of the community. The food is amazing as well. We all got the big breakfast, breakfast wrap and the omelet and they are the best we have ever had. Good in size and very flavoursome. Easy parking and while it was busy, we weren't packed in like sardines so you have your own space to yourself. The carpark is right there so if you have a wheelchair or pram it is very easy access. You also have the main road right there so you can sit and people watch without feeling boxed in. The menu is also varied so you have plenty to choose from

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share my experience at Rockets Cafe and Takeaway I had visited many times. It's located in the entry of Long Jetty from the south area. I was really impressed by their menu, they had a lot of options for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. And the best part is, everything was reasonably priced and looked delicious. I ordered a juicy burger and a coffee, and I was not disappointed. The burger was packed with ingredients and very tasty. The coffee was smooth and to my taste, and I felt satisfied but not too full. The service was also friendly and fast. The staff greeted me with a smile and took my order quickly. They brought my food and coffee to my table in no time, and checked on me once to see if I needed anything else. They were polite and attentive, but not intrusive. I really enjoyed my visit to Rockets Cafe, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a convenient and affordable place to have a bite or a drink. It's a great spot to relax, work or chat with friends. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu items.

We were on a trip from Cairns to Melbourne and needed to find a breakfast place after an overnight in Long Jetty. My husband ordered the breakfast wrap and he wouldn’t stop talking about how good it was, and how bummed I must be that I’d only wanted a muffin. So, apparently this gem of a place has great breakfast wraps and my husband definitely gives it 5 stars. Accessibility: No steps and parking right out front.
