The Scene
This popular eatery has a steady drop-in clientele throughout the day, from stroller-pushing moms getting a caffeine jolt to well-groomed lunch ladies and young Cow Hollow couples out for dinner. The sidewalk tables are particularly coveted; the main room, with its high ceiling and open kitchen, can get extremely loud.
The Food
The menu dishes out well-executed renditions of Cal-Italian fare. Fresh, well-dressed salads and blistered thin-crust pizzas are served in big shareable portions. Anything bread-based is a good bet, from stuffed sandwich "cozys" to the tasty focaccia topped with caramelized onion shards in the bread basket. A crisp-skinned, homey half chicken served over mashed potatoes gives the grill station a good name, too. However, pastas can be weak, drowning in olive oil and skimpy on flavor.

My girlfriends and I have made a pact that from now on, this restaurant is our new "girl's night out restaurant". It's the type of place with waitstaff who are so very accommodating to let us squeeze in 2 more people after some friends joined in the last minute (after I called one on her cell about the menu items). We were delighted to have such a great restaurant in our neighborhood too since the restaurants in this area are a bit lacking, to say the least. I'm definitely recommending Rose's Cafe to all my friends.

Cow Hollow has some amazing restaurants but Rose's Cafe is top 5 for me. If you want an amazing breakfast, you have to try this restuarant! You must order a large latte and drop in a couple sugar cubes. The breakfast pizzas are delicious and so are the fresh baked goods. You should always bring a friend to share with....get a bunch of things to split. Great, great food.

Funny to read reviews that say "you won't be disappointed". SO not true. A party with more people that came after us was seated before us, service was slow & a little inattentive, it took over 30 mins for the food to arrive, the food wasn't as described on the menu when it arrived, they tried to correct it and still sucked. Just an overall disappointing experience and I will make an effort to NOT return in the future.
