Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Consistently good meals and service. A regular favourite ‘go to’ cafe for catch up with family and friends. Both indoor and outdoor seating and pet friendly for outdoor dining."
"Amazing staff, great customer service and the best puppa chinos! Coffee - 10/10"
"Nice breakfast. Only issue was the haloumi seemed very oily. Maybe deep fried, but I liked the variety. Don't stock spiced chai."
"A couple of beers the night prior saw the need for a bacon sandwich and boy did this place deliver! There is a good chance it was the best bacon sandwich I’ve ever paid for. There was so much bacon it was spilling out the sides. I added a hash brown and my mate got egg and cheese… Both were phenomenal. Highly recommended!"
"I don't remember when I last gave a business all 5s! Lots of 4s but Rocksalt was exceptional in all aspects. Lots of great food in ACT.... BUT the service was a step above should be a 6. From all 3 staff that served us, but especially the main gentleman ******"
"I love coming here, it's a lovely sparkly gem of hawker. This unassuming cafe packs a punch when it comes to service and food. Staff are attentive and provide efficient service in a warm and approachable manner. Water was provided straight away. Drinks were served quite quickly after placing the order and my knife replaced with a steak knife before the food arrived. No matter how many times I go, the food presentation is impressive. Servings are generous and taste delicious. Hotcakes where light and fluffy, and cooked all the way through, a success for a hotcake so thick. The banana bread was satisfying, not overly sweet, not too dense, and still full of great banana flavour. I loved seeing morning steak on the menu - it makes me nostalgic. This item even blew away my great memories. If you've never had Steak n Eggs for breakfast this is the place to do it. Steak was cooked well, though a little under seasoned for my taste. The bacon was crispy, the eggs just runny and without an acidic after taste, an the holindaise was delicate and creamy. It's a great place to come again, and bring friends."
"The burgers, pasta, and coffee are some of my favorites here. The waitresses are always very friendly and smiling."
"A surprising find in outer Belconnen, (well not so outer these days, maybe even mid-belco). A great flat white, for my taste, one of the best I've had in Canberra to date. My only complaint would be the use of dark grey coffee mugs! Cups for tea and coffee are traditionally white or glass for a reason! It keeps your drink warmer longer. But then i see on the way out you have the white option available so will order next time. Great coffee, great ambience, good service and impressive menu. Thanks keep it up"
