There was a big table perfectly sized for our large group where we were able to enjoy our donuts and coffees. The place was comfy and cozy and I loved all the plants. The one employee who was there was very kind and prepared our drinks quickly despite being the only one in. We all enjoyed! Just because I noticed some of these reviewes are quite old, I would add that they do take credit cards here (they are NOT cash-only) and they certainly do have espresso. It was a little tricky to find due to signage, but we're glad we did!

Thank you so much!

We stopped by Rosie's for breakfast and had a good experience…read more The service is really good and the employees are really hospitable. We had to wait 10 minutes for a table because they are very popular. It's located in a cute town along the waterfront and we found it a bit difficult to find parking. The menu is nice because they have a lot of gluten free options but everything at this restaurant is an add-on. I ordered a gluten free pancake with 2 eggs. The pancake was the biggest pancake I have ever received at a restaurant. It was bigger than my hand. It tasted good and went well with the eggs. Toast would have been extra and there was a surcharge to make the pancakes gluten free. I found this restaurant more expensive than the other restaurant we frequent when visiting the area. The ambiance is cute and typical of a traditional diner / breakfast place. Would We Return? Possibly, if I'm in the mood for pancakes.

You will often see the same few people working there, and despite how insanely busy it can get, they've even remembered us after almost a month of not being there. I've been both inside and on the back patio. Surprisingly, despite the cold, they did an amazing job of keeping the patio cozy and warm (blankets, seat warmers that may burn your butt if you're not careful but they do warn you, and heat lamps). The vibe of the place is fun and welcoming. I've mostly had the drinks, which are fabulous and their hot chocolate always hits the right note. Their bartender often has new specials and is also very good at creating delicious cocktails. The one food item I have tried was their special crème brûlée, and holyyyyy. I'm pretty sure I'd try every version of that. I plan to go back more and I am excited to one day get to try their other food!

After a bit of googling, we discovered this location of Il Gelato Di Carlotta. It was mid-afternoon so the place wasn't exactly busy, but that was just fine with us. After waiting for a customer to finish up, I decided to get a small cup of their Pistacchio gelato. (Their spelling, not mine.) It's very good. Although it was maybe a little icier than I might've preferred, the flavor was right on point. The gelato had a rich pistachio flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. I also tried a bit of my dining companion's Gianduia and that was much tastier. It wasn't icy at all and it had this rich chocolate flavor that I found irresistible. Service was terrific, and the atmosphere was small but cute. This is a great place for locals, I'd bet.

The lady behind counter was so helpful with recommending what to get. The strawberry cheesecake mount Olympus was insane. Would recommend swapping out the strawberry syrup on the ice cream, for dark chocolate. We also got the Hazelnut puffs. The cookies and cream ice cream topping sauce was too sweet ( would have preferred dark chocolate). So Mr Puffs is basically fried dough balls with sauce on it. The Puffs are warm and paired with the ice cream, the combination is just insane. The only thing id say is, although we were 4-5 people sharing, we got 2 mount olympus 8 piece and it was an insane amount of ice cream . Id recommend even as a group , get 1 with ice cream and then just some puffs on the side :).

Gonna have to come back for lunch sometime. Sandwiches look great! It looks like when weather is nice they will have some outside seating, as well. Parking can be challenging and there is a small lot behind the building, but I couldn't tell if it was only for the apartments that are there or also for customers of the cafe? I will have to ask next time I go. If the parking lot is available that makes it so much easier.
