Def a place to come back to especially if they get more help. Great little bookstore in the back. Food was surprisingly deliciously for morning sandwiches. Coffee and chai tea did not disappoint, although I was looking forward to sated pumpkin chai which they were out of when we went. Otherwise highly recommend it !

We loved the vibe and the bookstore in the back. The loose leaf tea and very frothy cappuccino were highlights too. After a long wait we tore into our huge spinach/mushroom egg burrito and the Swiss cheese was the cherry on top! Yum!

Even though they didn't have a vegan breakfast option, the very friendly staff helped us to turn their burrito sandwich into a vegan breakfast. It was very delicious. This is the brunch place everyone seems to love on a Sunday so be prepared to accept a wait.

Stopped in on our way out of town, in need of coffee and breakfast. Really good coffee, dark roast. Sausage egg and cheese on a tomato wrap - yummy and plentiful. My only minor complaint is the only menu is on boards over the counter - kinda hard to read! Very nice staff and a peaceful coffee shop vibe.

A comfortable, large cafe with pastries made on premises and made-to-order breakfast and lunch options. They offer drip coffee in light, medium, and dark roasts. I particularly loved watching the two artists quietly creating at separate tables. The Ambrosia is a signature item. Imagine, if you will, a brevet cappuccino topped with chocolate powder. This is pure heaven in a cup. A variety of breakfast burritos are available on plain, spinach, and tomato tortillas. Over the week we were in town, we ordered each one and found them all to have generous portions of scrambled eggs. My favorites were the Mexicali and the Reuben. While ordering at the register, the service was patient. The servers who brought our food items were very nice.

This place gets busy so prepare to wait! They serve really good coffee! Came here for breakfast this fall before our hike. Such a great place with great people. Would be happy to come back.

A coop cafe on Main Street in Rockland. Dark roast coffee with beans roasted here was superb. A perfect accompaniment to the morning glory muffin that was very good! Glad to taste a muffin without the additional sugar sprinkled on top! There is a full array of cafe menu items and service was cheery and excellent. Worth a visit if you are in the area!

To be totally honest we stopped here super briefly to get a couple of large cold brews. And they were really good. Not watered down, not super bitter, just really solid iced coffees. Also the person behind the cash register was super thoughtful about adding a splash of oat milk to our drinks (no charge). I can't really speak to the food or the space as we were in and out, but if I lived in the area I could see it being a spot I'd stay to work and grab a snack!

Rockland Cafe appears to celebrate diversity and I found hair that represented every color of the rainbow at this place. It is a collective which means the employees have ownership over some Big Co so I was happy to support it. Normally, I like big things to bite down on but the egg scramble which was perhaps the worlds largest English muffin and was a challenge even for me. The cheddar was nicely melted and the Cafe had decent coffee to wash it all down. Since I was in transit, I did not have a chance to experience other parts of the town, but the Cafe was a good stopping place and I loved the rainbow support.
