I had a very disappointing experience at Rockwell's Bakery and won't be returning. Cleanliness was a major issue. The floors felt consistently sticky, and the space didn't give the impression of being properly maintained. That alone is hard to overlook in a food establishment. The atmosphere was also odd and uninviting. Some of the branding and messaging in the bar felt out of place for a bakery and made the experience uncomfortable rather than enjoyable. making asphalt great again???? just weird when most the employees are Hispanic. also a weird ratfaced dude in a black truck drives on the sidewalk clearly intoxicated. As for the food, it simply wasn't good. Quality and taste were both lacking, especially considering the expectations for a bakery. Stay away from this place if you value your taste buds read more

We have become regulars now at Rockwell's and it's primarily because of one of your employees. ( Brittany ) at the bar area. As a businessman and owner operator, I tell all our employees that they are a direct reflection of leadership's decision making. In this case, Brittany is an outstanding representative for Rockwell's. Just thought I'd share. read more

I contacted Juli, about my birthday cake fail and she has made it right... can't wait to go back and get another one thank you

i haven't been here in awhile but every time I visit it's always a pleasant time! This is the first time I stayed for breakfast and not just grabbed a pastry or two and I had such a great experience. The people here are so nice and checked on me if I needed anything while I was working away in their cafe corner (great spot btw!). The menu is extensive but I love all the options! They have soooo many pastries and cookies to choose from! I ended up getting the strawberry chocolate chip but they all looked so good! I can't wait to go back! read more

Amazing food, vast selection of items to choose from. Service is very professional and friendly. You feel like you've known the staff forever even on your first time going. Ambiance is very unique. Picture a western theme kinda like Knotts Berry Farm. Upstairs they even have a hidden Speakeasy that requires you to make reservations first before entering. Overall fun and energetic restaurant to eat at. read more

The good is very good and I love that its a local hangout to go to. My only complaint is the patio cover seriously needs to be replaced. The sun is always in our eyes. It wouldn't take much to do! Other than that its a fun local bar! read more

This place was a great choice for breakfast. Fantastic atmosphere and ambience and a delicious meal. The bar and bakery areas both looked great.

Saw some items promoted on their TikTok and decided to check it out. When we got there, we found out they don't sell those items anymore. It's still fall, and within 30 days they already stopped offering their seasonal items? That was disappointing. The whole place feels a bit all over the place. It's trying to be a bar, a café, and a bakery, but it doesn't really stick the landing on any of them. I tried the fudge chew and it was hard as a rock. Thought I'd give it a chance and microwaved it at home, but it still tasted stale. We didn't get anything else since the two items we came in for weren't available. The dinner menu also seemed overpriced, so we left and went somewhere else instead. The staff didn't help much either. They were just standing around and didn't seem interested in being helpful. Overall, not the experience we were hoping for. read more

I'd like to start off by saying the bakery itself has some amazing treats right when you first walk in. For the speakeasy, you need to check in with the front desk who will take you to the entrance door. Really cool miner themed speakeasy with a seating chart that has you at the same table with another group. Makes it fun for interacting and meeting new people. The service itself was a bit slow and not very robust with no waters being given or checked in on. The food made it a better experience with the 46 burger it was absolutely delicious! The selection of whiskeys at the bar are also very impressive and worth taking a look at! read more

I got to try Rockwell's Strawberry Supreme cake during my cousin's wedding. The Strawberry Supreme is a white cake with whipped topping and fresh strawberries that are on both the outside and the inside. It's one beautiful cake and one delicious one too. I was impressed with how soft and fluffy the cake was. It was such a light and delightful cake. The strawberries were juicy and fresh. I also loved how the cream was not overly sweet. It was definitely a classic dessert fit for a beautiful wedding. read more

This place is beautifully decorated for Christmas but the charm of Rockwells during the regular seasons is just as amazing as well. The food was very good comfort food -- we went for breakfast -- I loved the many options for a breakfast burrito but opted for the meat lovers omelette it had prime rib in it! The service was just right, not too pushy. They were very good and emphasized we could always get dessert to go since they are part bakery with beautiful displays. We did take them up on the offer and left with some snowballs, a crescent and double chocolate chip cookie! read more

This review is purely on the service and unprofessionalism of the bakery manager or line chef whoever was given to me on the phone. I placed an order yesterday morning maybe latest 11am. Needing a dozen cookies that had just broken handcuffs and an inscription saying your chains are gone you have been set free. Cool no problem with custom order you get the inquiry form STATING THAT THE PERSON WHO ORDERED THE CUSTOM ORDER WOULD GET A CALL SOON. Now that I say that, no call the whole rest the day, the next day being today Friday june 12 2026, I call at 10:30. They have still not reached out. So i get the run around we can't do custom in 24 hours. Hmmm it doesn't say that in the website anywhere. Go look for yourself. If it's there it has been placed after this review. I get from a host girl to someone called a manager saying she hasn't checked her emails, hmmm very responsible as a kitchen manager in a bakery to not be checking their emails for future orders. Maybe need to get out the kitchen if you can't keep up with the heat. Then she goes on to say that in a bakery it's different than in a regular kitchen....hold up I been running kitchen since I was 17 and I'm 32 now, you tell me in all those years I've never baked? Never seen a bakery before lol it's exactly the same the only difference is when a baker fucks up they can't salvage the project it needs to be redone. Only mfer difference. Then goes I'm not going to argue with you I need to get back on the line and hangs up. So as a manager or a person who runs a kitchen "bakery" cause it's soooooo much more prestigious hahahahaha so sorry miss important. 1)She didn't rectify their mistake, they acknowledged but not recorded. 2) was rude to the customer and tried to make excuses for her incompetence 3) negligent management All in all terrible management in the bakery, busy season or no in my kitchens we never gave a silly reason as understaffed to not produce an order. Especially as simple as 12 cookies with an edible print of handcuffs and icing saying maybe 12 words. Nothing super fancy. But with just a 5 min interaction left the saltiest taste in my mouth. No amount of apologies can change or fix management incompetence or lack of integrity in their work. I placed the order in the morning the latest 11am I asked for the order to be made at 6pm on 6/12 that's over 24 hours. If you the bakery manager is sticking to the hill she just now dug herself into . Lame excuse of a person in charge And so funny how the "baker" says she hasn't checked emails but can check a review and respond to it within 20 min. And again my order was a 30min hour in advance if you want to die on the hill of 24 hours you are completely still in the wrong read more

Enjoyed an excellent lunch in the bar area. 1/2 sandwich and soup. Big lunch crowd today. A little noisier in bar area than the dining room side. Pleasant place to dine in the outdoor area but it was wet today. Happy hours are a good time to go here too. read more

$14 for a margarita, which was mostly ice, earns Rockwell's a 1-star rating. What bothered me more was having to wait so long to settle my bill so I could just leave. The employee behind the bar was too busy drying glasses in front of me to pay me any attention, yet I was the only one there! With these prices, no wonder there's never any women at the bar. Apparently the gals have more sense than I do, and they avoid this establishment. The atmosphere here is OK, but it still doesn't make up for the high prices, poor service and sausage party clientele. I will not return, and obviously I do not recommend. read more

The Post is hands-down my favorite local hangout. It's one of those rare spots that gets everything right--the food is consistently great, the atmosphere is lived-in and welcoming, and it's just the perfect place to kick back after a long day. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the service. Brittany is an absolute legend! She already knows my "usual" before I even sit down, which makes me feel right at home. She's quick, hilarious, and manages to keep the entire bar happy even when the place is packed. It's people like her who turn a neighborhood restaurant into a community staple. If you're looking for a spot where the drinks are cold, the food is solid, and the staff actually treats you like a friend, this is it. See you guys next week! read more

Cozy ambiance with dark woods and hammered tin ceilings. The display of pastries will impress any lover of the baked delicacies. I was tempted by the orange cranberry loaf samples only to find they were sold out. I got an enormous ham & cheese croissant. The ham was smoky but a bit over processed for my taste. The sticky buns and pecan bar look so delicious. I'll have to try one or both next time. read more

02/10/2025 I was so excited to find this bakery/cafe in a neighborhood on my way home from work. I needed to buy a cake for my daughter's birthday. This bakery/cafe was located in a little plaza. It looked very welcoming with huge display cases of baked goods. I didn't get a chance to walk through the cafe but it looked cozy. There was only one customer ahead of me so the wait wasn't long. The female employee was friendly and packaged up my items quickly. I bought a slice of their Confetti Cake with Raspberry Mousse, a blueberry muffin, and a chocolate chip cookie. The huge slice looked promising for my daughter's birthday as we didn't want to buy a whole cake. NOPE!!! We were completely wrong and VERY DISAPPOINTED with the slice of cake. It visually looked good and it was nicely decorated. But the cake slice was HARD and DRY! It was HORRIBLE!!!! I felt SO bad that my daughter had this horrible tasting piece of cake for her special day. read more

I ordered: BURGER WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES- the burger was very good and well seasoned. The sweet potato fries weren't as crispy as I liked.. but it was still tasty with the ranch BOBOS- I think that's what they called the chocolate cake square. This was tasty because it wasn't too sweet. Matthew was quite friendly and attentive. If I am in the area, I will definitely be back! read more

Ordered a 6" cake for a small family birthday celebration. The cake was very fresh and beautifully decorated.

I've been coming here religiously for about 5 years, and Nancy is the absolute best! A good spot to watch the game.

It was delicious, some of the best coffee ever, and the food was prepared exactly like I wanted.

We usually love Rockwell's cakes, especially their custom orders as they're consistently delicious and well-balanced. However, the cakes from the display case never seem to match that same quality. The one we recently bought had way too much buttercream and hardly any of the strawberry/banana filling. The few strawberries that were in it didn't even taste that fresh. What really frustrated me was paying a premium price for what I was told was a mango crème brûlée (there was no label), only to discover it was something completely different - and honestly, inedible. The cake inside was soggy and just gross. We ended up tossing the whole thing. Bottom line: I'd still recommend Rockwell's for custom cakes, but I wouldn't trust anything from the display unless it's clearly labeled. Definitely disappointing for the price. read more

Love the food! Shrimp dish was delicious and shrimp was big! We took home some bakery items.... Bran muffin, German chocolate cake, roll stuffed with cream cheese, and carrot cake.

We ordered a cake for my daughter's wedding. The cake itself was delicious, but our instructions were not followed. We asked for a 12:30 pm delivery because we knew our coordinators would be able to refrigerate it promptly at that time. Unfortunately, they delivered it at 9:30 am. Mu daughter had asked for a red hombre on white frosting bottom. We were warned that it may not hold, but by the time the cake was presented it looked like a tiny rim at the bottom. I believe this is because it had been out of the refrigerator way too long. We were not offered any compensation. read more

The food looks good at first glance, but the flavor simply isn't there. This is especially true of the bakery items, which are bland and disappointing despite their appearance. Presentation alone doesn't make up for the lack of taste, and for the prices charged, the quality falls short. Unfortunately, the experience is further dragged down by the owner's behavior. His presence is unprofessional and off-putting, and rather than enhancing the business, it actively detracts from it. He seems unaware of how negatively he comes across, which is reflected in the uncomfortable atmosphere. On top of that, his inconsiderate parking--blocking sidewalks and entrances--shows a complete disregard for customers and the surrounding community. Overall, this restaurant has potential, but between the flavorless food and the poor leadership and behavior at the top, it's hard to recommend. Significant changes would be needed for this place to be worth returning to. read more
