Rocketts Market Cafe

Great selection of beer and wine. Convenient location for residents living in this neighborhood. Not really a cafe though. Just a convenience store. There’s no restaurant or dining area inside. There are a few tables and chairs outside on the sidewalk. Guy working here is always friendly.

This is a fantastic small market that is wonderful for the Rocketts Landing neighborhood. We LOVE stopping in during our walks throughout the week to grab whatever new, fun drink they have in stock. They have a HUGE beer, canned cocktail, and wine selection that features many prominent RVA makers (Hardywood, Belle Isle, etc.). They also have a multitude of local brands including Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches! Their selection is really unmatched in terms of drinks and snacks. There are many prepackaged items such as frozen sandwiches, pints of ice cream, chips, and candies in addition to home staples such as flour, sugar, sauces, and oatmeal. They even have some fresh dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and Nestle cookie dough. For the local fisherman, they also sell fresh bait. Overall, I’m beyond happy to have them in RL from a convenience aspect!

I would like to take a moment and say that this is a convenience market first and a food place second. There are some negative reviews about the coffee where they’re attempting to compare this market to an established, legitimate RVA cafe. You wouldn’t go to a 7-11 cafe section for a phenomenal coffee experience so why would you come here only to complain?

The workers are friendly and always make me feel welcome. The selection is superb, especially for those with dietary restrictions. My father loves the deli sandwiches - I love the wine selection. Great to have a market in the community.

Market has many basic groceries plus a large beer and wine selection.

Cafe offers sandwiches, smoothies, coffee and more.

Great selection and price considering the location. They've got everything from seaweed snacks, ramen, fresh cake and sandwiches, beer & wine and so much ice cream 😋

Very nice selection of good quality products and great wine selection. Desserts are delicious!!!

These guys have Cupertino's bagels and the guy behind the counter worked for Cupertino's...HA! All I need!

Really good choices of milkshakes

Love the selection.

We had a problem here at rocketts landing where we had a water leak and didn't know it and it turned into mold. Rainbow restorations came out and got right on it great job rainbow

Decent selection, very convenient for Rocketts Landing residents, friendly staff. I only go out of necessity. Very few items are priced. Maybe 10%. It's a mystery what you'll be charged for at the counter. Shop at your own risk.

Pros: Convenient for Rocketts Landing residents. Decent wine and beer selection.

Cons: Poor service: Prices at counter don’t match signs- tell customer they’re wrong and look at you with blank faces(this has happened to others as well), 3 separate times the employees haven’t known how to work the espresso machine or make regular coffee. Simple drinks have been cold, made wrong, and filled up the cup half-way. They also don’t know how to make the sandwiches they advertise- they fumble their way through it and it’s not even worth trying to correct.

All in all it’s convenient but disappointing service. I’d stay away from anything they have to make.

Multiple issues with making just a regular iced coffee. They’ve made it incorrectly multiple different ways, and recently when I tried to explain again what I wanted, the owner insisted he made it correctly, even though he filled it with milk and almond milk (not what I ordered). In Richmond there are so many incredible places to pick up coffee, they either need to learn how to make good coffee and have great customer service, or stop selling coffee.

It’s the closer convenience store in rocketts so I come here. Literally some of the worst cashiers ever (except Sheik (sp?)) with no customer service. The prices are NEVRR right and they’ll sit there and convince you it is. Like I got 1 $3 beer that rang up as $15. I kept telling her that was not right and she told me she couldn’t update it without her boss. Girl if you don’t divide $15 by 4 and get out my face or call your boss?? Also half the stuff is expired here. It’s April 2024 and this is in here and expired in Feb 2023??

Person at register can't speak or read any English. We were trying to buy ice cream but were getting rung up for coffee for some reason and when we bought it up to the lady, she had no clue what we were saying or talking about. Just gave us a blank look and rescanned the items, but that didn't solve anything. Really bad look for the store when it's in a relatively upscale area and the owners can't bother to hire people who actually understand English. Nice store ruined by customer service experience.

Alcohol was labeled the wrong price. When I asked the cashier who was loudly on her cell phone the entire time why it was more than what it was labeled she shouted “no” and then kept talking on her phone. Very rude.

No restrooms for customers at what is supposedly a cafe (basically just a convenience store)
