The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
A bowl of steaming chicken and coconut stew with huge hunks of bread reveals an enthusiasm for fresh home-cooked food at Rocket Cafe. Portions are generous and almost everything here is made on the premises, down to their own hummus and pesto. Ideally allow a good few minutes to decipher the sprawling menu boards of quesadillas, burritos and stews. The Wahaca chicken club sandwich is impressive, served with nachos and a freshly chopped tomato salsa. Cakes are less abundant but far from disappointing: the gluten-free raspberry chocolate brownie is a particular hit. It is noticeable that despite a constant stream of customers, the staff remain laidback and cheerful. There are no quiet corners in this compact and lively place, but a bustling and bright interior provide pleasant surroundings for a well-cooked lunch.

This is probably one of my favourite places in Edinburgh! I used to live just around the corner from it and was going almost every week for brunch! I actually started going since it opened over 2 years ago and am happy to tell that neither the service nor the quality have decreased since it opened, in fact it has become better and the prices are still very reasonable.
The food is AMAZING and great quality and excellent value for price. Anything you order is delicious! so it is always difficult to make a decision! the cakes are to die for and the coffee is really good.
The staff are all lovely and really friendly, I definitely recommend this place and have it in my favs-list! I do recommend you to go early for breakfast or a bit later after noon because the place is tiny and usually packed (which probably means I am not the only person who loves it!).Happy eating!
