    I like this cozy coffee shop. I always order the iced oat latte and it’s pretty good. Friendly staff. I wish they had more savoury items after 3pm - that’s when they start running out.

    Chai Latte tasted like water and Cappuccino mostly foam. Music was so loud you couldn't concentrate on what you were doing if you were there to work. Very limited space, not ideal if you want a place to work. The staff were very nice, though.

    I’ve passed Red Rocket Coffee so many times on my bike ride along The Danforth, it looked so vibrant from the outside so I finally stopped one Sunday morning for a coffee and scone. The SCONE! Blueberry and Maple - incredible! The coffee, served in a nice, thick mug was just right! The place itself was jumping - as many locals obviously already knew what I had just discovered. I came back with my wife, and she had a delicious pistachio cake along with a top-notch macchiato. The place is cool, cozy and on my favourite street in the entire city. What’s not to love? 👱🏻‍♂️☕️☕️👩🏼‍🦰

    Seating can be tight, but the food is excellent and the coffee is good. Their peanut butter cookies are awesome, especially the ones with chocolate chips inside. Because of the tight quarters, you should remove your backpack or you risk bumping people on their heads.

    My wife and I stopped in here to warm up and kill some time until a nearby appointment and it was amazing. I have very high standards for hot chocolate and I am used to being very disappointment by both chains and one-off shops, but this was the best coffee shop hot chocolate I have ever had. Full stop. It achieved a level of chocolatiness that I have not encountered before even from actual chocolatiers' hot chocolates. I am equally picky about chocolate chip cookies and I was not disappointed there either. My wife had their London Fog and it rated higher for her than anywhere but one local gem we frequent closer to home. The atmosphere was super fun, with funky, on-theme decorations all over. And to top it off, the seating area was comfortably toasty. After finishing my hot chocolate, I was ready to curl up for a nap right there in my chair. I only wish I lived closer.

    I have had the pleasure of going to this cafe for the past 3 years . The staff are friendly and always have awesome service . I have however noticed in the past month the baked goods( scones /cookies) don’t taste as good as usual . Wondering if there’s a different baker .

    Excellent coffee and cappuccino. Lots of room to lounge, to check in on your laptop, catch up on a coffee date or enjoy a freshly baked scone.

    Great coffee and food. RR I has been my regular stop for over 4 years now and have never been disappointed. Staff is friendly and cool.

    Forgot to post this over the summer. Red Rocket was a local hangout when I lived on the Danny, so it was nostalgic to visit old stomping grounds. The Mayan Mochas are my favourite — I take mine extra spicy ☕️🌶️ Instagram/TikTok: @opticalflip

    I would love for Red Rocket to return to its pre-pandemic hours. Arrived at 5:00 pm on a Friday with some out of town friends and the place was closed.

    Authentically warm cafe with distinctive mix of calming vibes. + The peanuts butter cookies are gluten free :)

  • 5/5 James B. 6 months ago on Google
    What a neighbourhood gift! The food, the ambience is such a brilliant repose from the hectic pace of life! Thank you Red Rocket !!!

  • 5/5 Lindsay B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing scones!!! There are so many flavour choices, including sweet and savory options, but I think the blueberry maple is my favourite. The service here is always quick, polite and accurate. I also love the new layout; it’s so spacious! Overall, this place is a real neighbourhood gem.

    I absolutely love this coffee shop, such a chill vibe and very cozy! The people and community makes this space very comfortable. The coffee is amazing, service is even better! Props also to Arden and Tia who make the best cappuccinos :-)

    Good coffee. Great place to hangout. Very nice ambience. Definitely a place to spend the afternoons. Amount of the small sized coffee was very good enough to fill you! Check out the decoration!

  • 5/5 Karen A. 2 years ago on Google
    An east-end gem! Love their dark-roast coffee beans (ground to perfection — just tell 'em what your home setup is like!) and their bake-at-home scones.

  • 5/5 Nick P. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly local coffee shop on the Danforth, close to Greenwood station. Popped by on a late weekday afternoon to do some reading and had a regular drip coffee. Excellent service. Fair prices. Coffee and atmosphere was nice. I like that they have areas dedicated for laptop work and other areas that are for socializing. Will definitely visit again.

    Ordered a cortado and dirt and worms mocha. The service was great and efficient. There was a huge line when I got there and they were able to move through it fairly quickly. Drinks were amazing, milk was frothed perfectly. Definitely will return.

  • 5/5 Robbie S. 6 months ago on Google
    My favourite spot for coffee in the city! The scones and empanadas are wonderful.

  • 5/5 Olga K. 6 months ago on Google
    Highly consistent and fantastic service. Great drinks and atmosphere

  • 5/5 Danielle F. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my favourite coffee place. Even after moving we still make time to head to Red Rocket. The staff are always so friendly and the food, drinks are amazing as always.

  • 4/5 Daniel L. 7 months ago on Google
    Just went for coffee and a muffin, but the atmosphere was very pleasant. It was quite busy, but service was quite fast.

  • 5/5 Steven B. 6 months ago on Google
    Our go to spot for coffee when we don't feel like making it at home. Their scones and empanadas are amazing. It's a bit expensive, but it's also high quality.

  • 4/5 J. Alexander W. 1 year ago on Google
    Various hot drinks. Gluten free cookies. Outdoor patio. Good service.

  • 4/5 John W. 6 years ago on Google
    Arguably one of the best coffee shops along the Danforth. It has a comfortable atmosphere with great coffee/espresso based drinks. Their baked goods are overall pretty good, but lack selection. I have never tried a sandwich or other food offering here. The staff are always pleasant and make customers feel welcome. The music selection played here has always been Motown, soul and 70s hits, when I have been in. I would give 4.5 but this is not an option. Regardless stop by here if you want one of the Danforth's best Americanos.

    Coffee is always great, the baked goods are always changing and delicious and the service is always super friendly :)

  • 2/5 Tom P. 9 months ago on Google
    Consistently abysmal service in the early morning. Coffee and baked goods are phenomenal though.

  • 5/5 Jordan H. 11 months ago on Google
    So happy this is in my neighborhood. Fantastic coffee and always great service.

  • 5/5 Alexandra N. 1 year ago on Google
    Sweet little coffee shop with super customer service. I tend to invent my own items (i.e. hot chocolate with a shot of espresso, yum!) and they always enthusiastically oblige. Also, they sell a variety pack of their frozen scones which are absolutely divine!

    Nice place. I enjoyed the coffee, food, and service.
