Food served until 4:00PM
Parking is confusing, posted signs state 2-hour parking and by permit only; however you are apparently allowed to park while in the Rose Cafe or the other adjacent stores. Access is above sidewalk level via stairs, I did not see any type of handicap access. The interior is basic cafeteria style tables and chairs, mostly two per table, a couple of 4 seat tables and one 8 seat table. The music is loud but you can still carry on a conversation, you order at the counter and they will bring your order to your table. The Rose seems to be a coffee, meeting, computer café. They have stacks of board games in the front of the store for you to use.
The menu is limited. We chose to go around 10AM for a light brunch. We found hey already had sold out the Frittatas. As an alternative, we all selected the Smashed Avocado Tartine at $7.50, which consists of avocado, olive oil, black pepper served on five seed toasted bread with a lightly dressed winter green salad.
We waited around 15 minutes for our order and then he only
brought us two of the three orders. We could see our other plate sitting on the
service counter. My son had to go up and
ask the cashier for our order. He did receive a rather embarrassed apology.
The bread was awesome, lightly toasted and about ¾-inch thick
and thickly crusted with seeds and all crowned with a generous layer of lightly
smashed and seasoned avocado. Well worth
the wait.
They have the usual type of coffee house selections as well
as sweet pastries and muffins. Brunch is
served until 4pm and lunch starts at 11am until 4pm.
Would I go back? Probably not; but that is not because of the
food. I am just a bit uncomfortable with the atmosphere, a tad bit too young
for my liking. I was positively
impressed with the food and I will
certainly try to replicate their bread and Avocado Tartine for a luscious meal
at home..
