What a nice little cafe nestled in a business park. They target the business community with hours 10:00-2:00. Looks like they do quite a few catering and office lunch orders. I had a roast beef panini it was delicious. My friend did 1/2 soup and 1/2 BLT. Everything is homemade I don't think you can go wrong. Plenty of staying iinside and out. Tip: you get to select a side order get their zucchini bread it's homemade and perfect for next morning! You will be pretty full from their meal. Also their iced tea is delicious!!

I've been here several times now and I've tried a few of their sandwiches and soups. Everything i've tried is very good and very fresh. Sandwiches and Paninis are all excellent. All their soups are tasty...but my favorite one is definitely the Lobster Bisque. It had huge chunks of lobster in it. Their soups are different from day to day. Considering how busy they get during the lunch crowd they get the food out to you pretty fast. All the workers are very pleasant. I will definitely be visiting this place on a regular basis.

This is my first time in this place. I ordered Smoked Salmon Salad and it was delicious! Awesome combination of dried tomatoes, capers, salmon, olives and dressing. Next time I want to try Steak Salaf,I'm sure that is great too.

Everything about this place is perfect for a little girls' get together or a work meeting. I like how the place is setup for outside dining on a warm summer day or inside. The food is also delicious! From the bread to the salad, it never disappoint.

This hidden gem is the perfect lunch spot! The staff is so friendly and the food is really good. We received our order quickly. The portions are filling so the soup and sandwich special was the just the right amount of food. I would love to see more variety of drink options other than soda and iced tea. The ambiance is cozy indoors and peaceful outdoors, since it's tucked away from the road. I prefer to sit outside and was lucky to go on a cool day bc not all tables are in the shade, but wouldn't mind eating inside. I took my partner here for his bday lunch and he was very happy.

Oh how I missed Café Rose! This was my first time back since we were slammed with Covid. I have to admit, I really missed their salads and sandwiches! And my favorite used to be to order any of their salads and they could make it into a wrap - but I found out that they don't do that anymore! Since it had been a while since I had been here, deciding on what to order was tough! I went with one of their new sandwiches - Cashew Chicken with avocado, tomato & lettuce on a croissant. It was good, but really messy. The avocado and tomato would squish out the other end and sides each time I took a bite *Kind of a challenge to eat at your desk. But that's ok - fortunately I had a knife and fork, so I just used that.I'm thinking I might go back again today for a do-over - maybe I'll try to order something that's not as messy. I also have to mention that they make a really good zucchini bread, which is one of your choices for a side you can get with your order - you can choose from a cheese roll, fruit medley, pineapple coleslaw, or zucchini bread. The fruit medley is a good side too but I usually get the zucchini bread. Then I'll save it to have with my morning coffee the next day. It's so moist and has a great flavor. They also sell a whole loaf but you need to give them advanced notice if you want to get one. I don't remember how much it is - maybe like $12 - $15 dollars a loaf *totally worth it!We'll see what I decide on getting today!! Enjoy your day!

It was my first time here today and I will definitely be back, because the food here was outstanding and the atmosphere was peaceful and the staff were so great to me.I ordered the French Dip Pannini. I hoped that the sandwich would live up to the price (and it wasn't very expensive at all, really I just have high standards I'm stuck in the 1990's) and it definitely was absolutely worth it!! It was packed full of roast beef, very high quality meat. The cheese was melted and very on point. The bread was toasted to perfection. Like a pannini should be. This was a real pannini. The au jus sauce was so warm when I got it, and so was the sandwich. Together it was incredible!! The pineapple coleslaw was great too, with not too much liquid in it and not too salty or too sweet. You could taste the pineapple which made it special. I didn't order any drinks today.I am so thrilled this cafe is located 2 minutes away from my workplace. I will be coming here again very soon. I do want to try another menu option but I don't know if I will want to have anything other than what I had today. It was SO good!! I used the online website to order the food (which was easy, no username and password required), and although I was 10 minutes early everything was ready when I got there. Thank you!! See you ladies next time!!
