What People Are Saying About Rose's Cafe

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…

I'm definitely recommending Rose's Cafe to all my friends.

by vdaniels96 at Citysearch

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.

  • Pros: Example: best croissants in town
  • Cons: What are the drawbacks?

The best breakfast in Cow Hollow

by lola2727 at Citysearch

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.

Really Freakin' Dissappionting

by maraklein at Citysearch

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.

Decent Food, but Overpriced

by chocolorac at Citysearch

Overall, it was a pleasant experience -- but I can't say it ranks high on repeat value b/c the food is overpriced. We went for dinner on a Friday night. To our surprise (and that of the hostess'), we were able to get seating without reservations. The service was great and the setting was friendly (although not recommended for a group larger than ~6), but neither of us were impressed with the food. It's around Filmore, where there are other nearby options. With the exception of checking out their brunch on a nice day for outside seating, I'd probably go to another place.

  • Pros: Friendly and Pleasant Service, Cozy yet Chic Ambience
  • Cons: Food for the Price, Overpriced
