Had a coffee (a very good coffee) after Saturday morning parkrun. Really great spot, lovely service and atmosphere. Didn't have any food but it all looked good. They use real crockery and cups as well which is fantastic .

I ordered the big breaky roll and a dirty chai. Both of which were excellent. Atmosphere is nice as you're sitting outdoors, shaded by the trees. The experience overall left me feeling satisfied and rejuvenated. Katherine hotsprings is also in the same area. Took a short stroll to let the food digest. If you want a quality meal and coffee/tea, swing by. Definitely a "go to" location.

Located just outside of Katherine Hot Springs, this little cafe was very popular. We arrived about 45 mins before closing time so a lot was sold out. However, we ordered the pulled pork Bao Buns which were delish! As was the stacked bruschetta with salmon, cream cheese, dill and capers. Fast friendly service. Highly recommend :-)

Absolutely the best cafe meals in the NT! I was in Katherine for 3 days and had lunch there every day, if they'd been open for dinner I would have been back there every evening as well! Everything fresh, tasty, good prices, quick service and a great location. Don't bother trying anywhere else - go here first and you'll keep coming back!

Pop Rocket Cafe has a great outdoor vibe! Not too busy on a Friday morning around 9 am, the food wait was less than 10 minutes. Food was delicious, highly recommend to anyone coming to visit Katherine.
