Rockies Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne Beach

This new little spot in Melbourne Beach is truly a gem—and exactly the kind of café this sleepy town has been needing. Stepping inside feels like walking into a cozy beachside coffee shop you’d expect to find in Northern California. For me, it was like a little slice of home.

The food is delicious! I had the Chattanooga chicken tacos, and they were so good. The order comes with three, but they’re really filling—I only managed two and handed the third to my partner. What makes them unique is the fresh strawberries on top paired with their signature “Rockie sauce.” It’s unexpected but absolutely works.

The vibe inside is just as great as the food. The framed surf art, dark blue walls, and funky furniture give it so much character. There’s also a nice patio out front and convenient parking behind the café.

If you’re visiting and want a great spot for breakfast or lunch, you’ve got to check this place out. Just note: they close at 2 p.m., and breakfast service ends at 11:30. I’m still dying to try one of their famous breakfast burritos—my dad swears they’re incredible!

Thank you, Rockies Café—you’re exactly what this town needed!...

Update: I've been back a few times now and the gluten free toast is no longer a decent serving size, it's a two small pieces now, disappointing.

Pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. The coffee was good, although my latte wasn't exactly hot, more like warm. The burritos were a good size with lots of filling and very tasty. The gluten free avocado toast was delicious and was a decent size. Usually when you order gf you get a tiny portion and a large up charge, so I definitely appreciated the portion size. This will definitely be a regular stop for us. The patio would definitely be more functional with several smaller tables versus the two large picnic tables that are there. Lots of people like to bring their dogs, or just sit outside and there were 2 people at each giant table outside, so not very functional. Parking is...

We stopped by Rockies Café this morning and were genuinely impressed. We ordered a cold brew, a chai latte, and the Rocky Point breakfast burrito—and everything hit the spot.

The burrito was packed with all the breakfast essentials: eggs, bacon, sausage, avocado, cheese, and hash browns. It was hearty, flavorful, and really well put together. The drinks were solid too—the chai had a nice blend of spice without being overpowering.

The space itself is warm and inviting. Comfy chairs, great lighting, and a mix of mountain-inspired and beachy decor. I especially loved the pothos vines hanging from the ceiling—it added a cozy, lived-in touch that made the place feel extra welcoming.

True to its slogan, this café nails the mountain feels and beachside vibes. Would...
