Busy week working on the new unit, another step closer 😀

So a few months back we were tasked with building a new bike for Ben Deakin & Muc Off to be featured in a Miami Vice promotional Video. The paint job on this bike is insane! We had to keep it a secret too so we've been sitting on these photos for a while now, but finally we can show you... https://poole.rocketsandrascals.com/…/b en-deakins-miami-vic…

What a super place your cafe, staff very friendly, dog friendly environment and superb food, can't wait to come again!!

User

Top shop , lovely people , great ride outs �

User

This place is totally awesome. Child friendly, dog friendly and selling awesome treats and they have everything ‘bike’, perfect for a super keen 6 yr old mtb fanatic and a family full of bikers �

User

The mechanics and mochas course was very well timed for me, having brought my first adult bike for over 15 years a few months before, I was just finding my feet with riding. Jon & Martyn were very knowledgeable and able to cover the evenings topic for beginners like me to those more involved in cycling. They made me feel at ease and as if no question was silly. I will certainly be putting what i've learnt into practice and would highly recommend anyone to attend a course like this in the future.

User

Thankyou rockets and rascals for the wonderful cashew toastie and brownie with a list ingredients to take away, I had one very happy vegan daughter after school today , what great service !!

User

Thank for fixing the brake on my bike today. What a service! Brilliant place.

User

Tasty, healthy fresh food - and the chai latte was lovely too!

User

Raspberry & Coconut Cake, served toasted with raspberry coulis & cream!

User

Popped in yesterday afternoon as I was out promoting for my Slimming World groups (shameless plug!) and needed a drink. Wherever I go my order's the same, weak, black decaff americano with a couple of ice cubes - you've no idea how wrong some places can get this!! Not here though, despite being busy � Perfect service. Exactly what I ordered and brought to me with a smile. Thank you

User

Oh my god....The Toasted Banana Bread with cinnamon butter is YUMMY!!! I don't even like banana bread!!! (I may have also had a biscotti brownie which was divine and didn't even feel sick so highly recommend 2 cakes to anyone visiting as totally doable!).

The coffee is Amazing too and I'm a fussy bugger when it comes to my coffee!

The staff are lovely and friendly ...Great job guys and Thank you for giving us a pit stop to look forward too xxx

User

My son loves his Evel Knievel balance bike and helmet however I did find him using it as a step up to the sweetie cupboard!! Think I'm in for a bumpy ride with this little rascal! Thank you to everyone at rockets and rascals in poole!

User

My girlfriend and I go here as much as possible on our 40 miles or so ride from Swanage. Bloody love this place. Friendly staff , great coffee and that sandwhich I had last week. Swiss cheese , pastrami and gherkin hit the spot a treat. Love the bicycle lock idea outside aswell. Made to feel very welcome indead . I would recomend anyone to try it.

User

Martyn and Jon are great guys.They really know their stuff. Also a good place to get a decent cup of coffee

User

Lovely place for a coffee and food at the weekend, great products for a good price.



The shop guys are super helpful and go out of their way to get you just the right kit you need.



Martyn was amazing helping my girlfriend pick her new Whtye Carnaby, he even built the bike while we were having breakfast so she could take it away that day!



Highly recommend Rockets and Rascals

User

Love � Rockets & Rascals my cycle club do Sunday rides to the Plymouth branch �

User

Just wanted to thank the guys for sorting out my snapped SRAM force break lever. Bike is riding as smooth as ever again - cheers

User

Just had one of the best massages I've ever had.. Thanks Jo! Went in limping and came out skipping;) .. Great after care too .. With advice on stretching and ice and heat packs.



Coffee and scrambled eggs were perfect too!

User

If you like bikes, coffee and talking about bike then this is the place, friendly and always greeted with a smile any problems with your bike than not to worry. Possibly the best mechanics around���

User

If you haven't been recently, get on your bike and get into rockets & rascals...the place is buzzing food and coffee brilliant....joined and made new friends just like that. All very friendly................ BMW

User

I've known Jon and Martyn since Rockets first opened and their love and passion for all things 2 wheels shines through.

The cafe has gone from strength to strength over the years with the quality of the food and smoothies, shakes, wraps, naughties and quality coffee - its fresh, delicious and always tempting!

The shop ride every Saturday morning tempts new and regular riders and the 'gravel' rides adds extra punch for off roadies.

I particularly want to thank Jon for doing the classic 'supporting fellow riders'. He recently very kindly opened up early and stayed late, helping me put on a fund raising 12 hr turbo session for 2 of my poorly daughters. This was, and is, a lovely thing to do and I will always be thankful.

Heres to Rockets growing into the stratosphere - cheers guys, and all the lovely friendships that I've developed over the years. Forza!

User

Have been riding with Martyn and Jon for a few years now and the group rides are always relaxed and a great ride out.

The cafe is top notch with the best coffee in town all served up in a warm friendly atmosphere and with a cracking bike shop next-what’s not to like !!

A great place, from the amazing decor to the very good food and beverages. Very cycle friendly with a secure lock loan system. My first visit today after a long ride. Highly recommended. Some excellent cycling memorabilia on the walls as awell!

A brilliantly executed bike cafe, mirrored by the great coffee, food and ambiance. Well worth a trip for sustenance and to drool over the bikes.

User

Great to take the kids for a hot chocolate and croissant - service a bit slow especially the card machine

User

Great service firstly. Great flat white. Great burrito. And the cycling was on the TV too. What's not to recommend. I'll be returning soon!
