This is definitely the best café in Rockdale. They really know their coffee and give quite personalised recommendations about beans and roasts when my partner and I have asked. Their food is delicious, beautiful, and made with care. The prices are also quite good for Sydney cafés. Breastfeeding and pram friendly! The new winter menu is worth trying. I recently tried the French toast and two veggie/vegan bowls. So delicious and wholesome (crunchy brioche French toast was a bit less wholesome, but quite delicious in a different way of course).

Vegetarian options
Great vegan and vegetarian options, especially in the scheme of this area's general level of choice for vegan menu items. All very yummy choices. Would recommend.
Dietary restrictions
Some great vegan options here. Definitely recommend for that, but also for accommodating dietary restrictions. They are very attentive.
Kid-friendliness
We brought our 7 week old daughter here and they were very supportive and friendly about it, even when she cried. Breastfeeding friendly!

BEST CAFE IN ROCKDALE. AMAZING QUALITY FOOD, COFFEE AND STAFF ARE VERY SKILLED. I have been here over the years & they're always consistent. I tend to travel out to just get their coffee as the baristas are very skilled. The chefs in the back know how to whip up some fantastic food. They are also very generous with portions. My favourite is always a classic bacon egg, hashbrown and maybe some cheeky halloumi. You must dine in or takeaway from here, the atmosphere is gorgeous, air-conditioned & fancy as heck with great low prices. 100/10 recommend. Thanks for always looking after me!

Had a take away coffee and the coffee was so smooth and blends very well in the month. So came back again this time with family friend for breakfast as they have a beautiful set up with soft music. Feel very relax and calming inside this cafe. Feels like you are in a hotel lounge enjoying a beautiful breakfast and coffee. A little downside was when I order the coffee this time it was not as smooth as the 1st time. So coffee consistency is not there. The plus side was when told the coffee taste very bitter they immediately change a new coffee for you so over service was good. Price is on the higher side. Great set up. Could be better if food is served on a bigger plate. As the food is very cramp on a small plate.

  • Nathan Sereda

Located on the Princess Highway in Rockdale. Boschetto is situated next to a Pub and one could mistake their food for Pub food, but don't. They have a wide range and variety of selection on their breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that would leave you surprised. It has become a local hangout/hub for our family since the owners and staff are so friendly and welcoming. If you're a meat eater, they have you covered. If you're a vegetarian, they have you covered. If you're a vegan and IF they don't have you covered, I'm sure they will go above and beyond to accommodate.

  • Clare Hudson

Boschetto is a great place for breakfast; my boyfriend and I come here regularly. The specials board changes weekly, so you can expect something interesting and different each visit. The coffee is good; the service and staff are great, and it's comfortable and clean. The food is generally great too, though like any place, it does occasionally have off days–in the year I've been visiting, though, I've only experienced one day where the food was disappointing. Overall, I really enjoy coming to Boschetto for weekend breakfasts and brunch. They do lunch as well, but I haven't ever been for lunch, so can't comment on this period.

  • G con

I ordered breakfast and asked the young Asian woman at the register if she could send someone to clear a booth from dirty plates as there were no other clean booths available and she said, " no we are too busy, sit somewhere else. " I replied with " thank you very much, I will now make you less busy" the idiot had no idea what I was talking about. But she understood when I walked out of the store. How dare this waitress refuse to clear dirty plates from a table so a customer can sit. A customer that puts money in her pocket every day. No idea of customer service whatsoever.

  • AMAN SHARMA

I love Boschetto Cafe even though I've been there only 3 - 4 times. The staff in there r absolute professionals. The food, snacks, soft drinks & coffee r gr8 @ extremely reasonable prices. There r other drinks available as well as alcohol. It is in a good location. It is located on Prince's Highway in Rockdale. It is very convenient 2 go there bcos there is a Bayside Council carpark behind the Boschetto Cafe where u can park for 3 hrs for free.

I like Boshchetto, the staff are friendly and overall the food is really good. The coffee is Campos and generally done well but I have had a few that were less than average. I have dined for breakfast (several times) and it is good. The garlic mushrooms are the best I have had anywhere is ages. The burgers are large and have great home made sauces on them. It's a bit pricey for Rockdale but the food is good and the service friendly.

  • Harpreet Saini

This is without a doubt the best cafe in Rockdale. Great and consistent quality of Campos coffee, delicious foods and friendly service. I have eaten on many occasions here and found the menu has lots of options and great value for money without compromising taste.

Really good food, coffee and service. This place is really nicely decorated inside and the food is also tasty and good value. Between us we had a flat white (campos coffee-always good), chocolate milkshake, regular burger with fries and a lunch special of a buttermilk fried chicken burger. Food was really well prepared, cooked and presented. Great place for lunch. We will likely return.

We visited on a weekday morning for brunch and the service was great. The food was impeccable presented and tasted amazing. A wonderful array of flavours on classic breakfast favourites. Although situated on the busy Princes Highway the noise of passing traffic can barely be heard inside which is a great relief. Campos coffee is well done too. Great local spot. 4 stars.

  • Lex

In these last weeks, seems like I’m pretty lucky, hospitality-wise. Here’s another well deserved 5*. For fast service and specially, quality of food. Everything was super perfectly cooked and the fruit juice, I swear, it was really fresh. It hard to me, to find a good salmon, and bacon and, those two, where simply amazing. Great job guys, good on ya!

  • Isaac Price

Found this cafe after most of the other ones were closed but was so happy to find this cafe. The coffee and was amazing and using quality beans by Campos. Fast and friendly service and would be a nice place to have breakfast at when the dine in restriction laws are dropped. Definitely will be getting my daily coffee from here more often!

  • Louisa Siuhengalu

This cafe is consistently great! The food and drinks are excellent quality every time. Ever since I found this little gem, I take everyone there. The waitresses are so polite. Great place to read or do some paper work because it's usually quiet. The music is so chilled when it's on, it's not mainstream and it's calming. Love Boschetto!

I had the bacon & egg roll with coffee combo. The hot chocolate was very rich and chocolaty. The bacon and egg roll was on a round sesame seed bun. This was a bold move, and it paid off when paired with a perfectly cooked eggs and bacon.
