I had been seeing this place on social media a lot, so I wanted to try it out for myself. We tried their chocolate banana cloud, savory brunch croissant, and their Italian sub. Everything was really good. I would definitely go back to try more. There is some indoor outdoor seating available. When we went, it was pretty busy, we got lucky and found a table. You are handed a menu when you walk in, and order at the counter. You pick up when ready, and someone cleans your table when you are done. There is plenty of parking available as well. read more

Cakes were super dry. One had good flavor, the other was bland. I feel like they just use box cakes mix and throw on fancy toppings read more

Visited on a a Tuesday. Staff was very friendly and welcoming and the space looked fairly clean. We got a cookies and cream brownie. It was more of a cake than a brownie. It was a bit on the sweet side but good nonetheless. We also ordered the hazelnut cold brew. Again, it was overly sweet but drinkable. Definitely a dessert coffee than an actual coffee. The disappointing part of the meal was the food. The breakfast sand which was just a basic sandwich that did not feel worth the price. Microwaved egg, basic bacon basic bread. The California Chicken Sandwich was the most disappointing. It felt like they took a piece of boiled chicken breast and then grilled it. It was dry, stringy and bland. I would return to try some of the cakes but would not pay again for any of the food items. read more

Food is good. Service is quick. Ambience is music and receiving outside. Parking. New decoration and the beautiful walls. It's good convenient place for a coffee. We ate Philly cheesecake and we loved it. read more

Caffè By Rosine's - Onion is caramelized just enough without being burned - Desserts Near Me - Sand City, California

We planned to grab breakfast but the Caffe was so packed that we grabbed a chocolate banana latte and a strawberry matcha to go instead. By the time we left the line was to the door. Both drinks were absolutely delicious and we plan on coming back soon! The credit card machine was down, they were short staffed for the rush, and the place was packed, but it was still a decent experience. They just opened and are still figuring things out. The remodel looks fantastic and the patio seating looks great for warmer days. We can't wait to try again on a less busy/broken day! read more

Caffè By Rosine's - Banana Cloud Mocha drink - Desserts Near Me - Sand City, California

We love Rosine's and have been going there for decades. We went to the new café Rosine's in Sand city shopping center and we're prepared to buy a fabulous looking dessert for Easter. But when we walked in, we noticed there were multiple tiny flies not only on the individual desserts, but also on the inside window. Staff was very friendly, engaging and polite, but we decided to pass on buying anything from there. read more

Tried Caffè by Rosine's this weekend and had high expectations bc of the reviews i've seen! After my visit it might be hyped up a bit due to social media. The service was GREAT. The oreo cheesecake was delicious. The drinks were okay and too sweet, they do look pretty though. The breakfast sandwiches do not come with any sides which is a bummer and the portions are very small. The to-go case looked loaded with so many salad options, I think you're better off grabbing something from there instead of the menu! I would go back for dessert and maybe give Rosine's on alvarado a visit!! read more

Clean.. very clean. Great customer service. Everything is new because coffee shop is new. Great parking with plethora of shopping options & the beach in walking distance. Bathrooms, unknown; but probably clean & definitely ADA compliant. Coffee is served in to-go cups only & not hot. Limited seating inside & outside, so shop is designed for take-away. Lots of take-away options for lunches or dinners with recipes from Rosine's menu. Meh... overpriced coffee. I can get that anywhere in Seaside. No reason to stop by Caffe by Rosine's, unless you just wanna see it. read more

I stopped here on my way to remote work in Carmel for the day. It was my first visit since their opening. What a great experience! The place was clean, the employees were courteous, friendly, and welcoming. Did I mention, the place looked clean and modern and new!! Before I even stepped in, I knew what I would be ordering since I'm a seasoned veteran of Rosine's restaurant. Ì ended up ordering a mocha AND a must-have piece of lemon blueberry cake! What a great experience! Yes, I will be stopping in EVERY time on my future trips to the Monterey/Carmel area. read more

A Monterey must. A cute and quick cafe with great service and tasty food. We stopped by to get a quick caffeinated pick me up. We ended up sweets togo. OMG the cakes!! I can't even start to explain those. Had such a great experience we came back the very next day. The owner greeted us personally and had us suggestions on what to eat for breakfast. Make sure to stop by when you're in the area. read more

Food was great Service was great. For a container of soup, it was $20 Seemed a bit steep on the price Could just be me read more

Overall not a bad place to get coffee, but I wouldn't get the food here again. Got both the meatball and the Philly and they were just okay. The sweets looked good though. They told us they are from the other roseins. The staff was nice. The store was new and clean which is to be expected. read more

I'm excited that Caffe by Rosine's opened in Sand City -- it's such a great addition to the area, and I love that we have more local cafés popping up. It's convenient, the space is cute, and I'm all for anything that brings more variety to our coffee/quick-bite options. I recently tried the Chili Egg Puff Roll-Up ($10). Flavor-wise, it was actually really good -- the baked eggs, green chilis, jalapeños, and spicy crema have great potential (just like the menu describes). But presentation-wise, it fell a little short for me, especially given the price. I think with just a few tweaks -- like adding more spicy crema on top, a small garnish, or even a simple side -- it would feel more complete and worth the price point. One positive: it does come with two roll-ups, which is nice -- but I think it would help to actually note that on the menu so customers know what they're getting for the price. Even though this dish didn't totally wow me visually, I still think the café has a lot of potential. I'm definitely planning to come back and try more of the menu. Definitely keep coming for the coffee. It's a nice new local spot, and I want to see how they grow from here. read more

Caffè By Rosine's - Chili Egg Puff Roll Up - Desserts Near Me - Sand City, California

the cake slices + pastries are amazingg and I'll recommend them to anyone! I love the original Rosines so when this opened I was sooo excited to try so I went in and got the cookie butter latte and a breakfast sandwich, which were both super good, but the only thing is I don't really see myself returning often just due to the price being about $11-13 for a small breakfast sandwich and $7-8 for the cookie butter latte. They were both very good, just probably not something I'd do all the time given other comparable options in Monterey. I wish this 2nd location was another exact replica of the original Rosines with a similar menu and everything, but I understand they're trying to do something new. The cake slices are still sooo good though so that redeems them! read more

Checked out the new Caffe by Rosine's spot in Sand City! It's in the old Starbucks location next to Target, and it's such a cute setup. The staff were super friendly, the place was spotless, and they've got plenty of outdoor seating. Everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The babe got a breakfast burrito and an iced mocha, and I went with the stacked morning biscuit and the chocolate banana cloud drink. The biscuit was soft, buttery perfection, and that drink... absolutely amazing! They also have a ton of grab-and-go options like sandwiches, lasagna, soups, and more. And of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing a slice of cake to go! Such a great spot -- definitely worth checking out! read more

I stopped by Caffè by Rosine's on my way to do Christmas shopping in Sand City. I asked the staff member what she would suggest, she offered a variety of suggestions based off of her own opinion and what she saw ordered often. She has a great aura and I feel like a lot of knowledge on what great customer service is so I took her suggestion to get the Breakfast Sandwich which is Eggs, Bacon, Swiss and Cheddar Cheese on a brioche bun that is topped with Mayo. I opted out of the mayo due to personal taste, and the sandwich was delicious. I also asked about desserts. I was looking at the cookies and the staff member suggested a donut which is from Red's Donuts. Of course, the donut did not disappoint either. I'd love to say the staff member has impeccable taste as the Breakfast Sandwich was a dream in brown wrapping and the donut was a perfect dessert to start my morning. I felt more than welcomed to sit down and eat with unique Christmas Music playing in the background. I've never been disappointed at Rosine's in Monterey and I don't anticipate being disappointed at Caffè by Rosine's either. Always superb service and food. I'll be coming back. read more

I've been coming here since they have opened! I go every couple of days and every time I met with a hello and very kind workers! One time they let me order when they were about to close and one time they remade my drink after I had slipped in the rain... I always get a cookie butter latte it's so rich and sweet and so worth it. Occasionally I get a slice of their very moist and rich cakes and it never fails to reach my expectations! The ambiance is always so nice, so busy! they are going to be so successful!!! Don't hesitate from stopping here, it's so worth it! read more

The employee at the door was very welcoming. I have enjoyed going to Rosines on Alvarado for many years and was excited to try this cafe with my mom. Unfortunately, her coffee was lukewarm which wasn't the issue. The employee at the register was friendly. But the barista I had asked to warm up the coffee seemed bothered by the request. read more

I am extremely concerned about food safety at this location. I watched an employee take ice out of my iced drink with their bare hands and long acrylic nails. This is a serious health risk. Ice and other ready-to-serve items should never be handled by hand--doing so can easily spread germs and contamination. It's clear proper food safety training is not being followed.I strongly urge management to take immediate action, retrain all staff, and enforce strict hygiene and sanitation protocols. Customers' health should always come first. read more

As a local aficionado of breakfast burritos, I'm happy to report Caffe by Rosine's burrito is excellent! I love that it's a great grab-n-go with a fluffy tortilla and generous filling. I have a hard time passing by the cafe without getting one, combining with crisp cold brew. It brings a smile to my face to be greeted kindly every time I come in. Also is a great place to get some work done with lots of natural light and nice outside seating. Really cool seeing a local family favorite expand like this! 10/10! read more

I want to start by saying I'm not a big cake person. I could take it or leave it. We came here for my daughter. When you first walk in you are greeted by someone offering you a menu and asking if you have been there before. So the first impression was great customer interaction. It is a small place but really clean and nice. We ordered the lemon cake. It was the best cake I have ever eaten. I live over an hour from this place and will drive back for it. The cake was baked spot on. Super moist and flavorful. The icing was fantastic too. It was thick and had a ton of lemon flavor. Did I mention that the slice of cake you order is HUGE. It's big enough for 3-4 people. They had so many more cakes on display that I am actually looking forward to trying a new one next time. read more

As a local of the Monterey Peninsula (Monterey, Pacific Grove, Marina), I love Rosine's Restaurant in downtown Monterey that has a very, very, very positive reputation and following. Well, although a "newbie" on the scene, the Caffe By Rosine's provides for one hell of a memorable experience for "light fare." The decor and overall ambience are rather inviting; the space inside as well as out are comforting, and the prime components: employees, food offerings, drinks, and the overall menu are just right if one doesn't want to have a stuffed stomach. I've gone to this cafe on four occasions, and each time I've been pleased and highly satisfied with the staff--the initial ambience, and the manner in which the staff have related and interacted with the customers. ...love their avacado on toast, their pita squares, not the right name, but one can find specifics on the menu), and their vast array of drinks. Rosine's famous cakes and other sweet delicacies grace the small glass enclosures, but since I know what's provided at the downtown restaurant in terms of the notable desserts--I've forgone these at the intimate "CAFFE BY ROSINE'S." Whenever you're at the shops, etc. in Sand City--treat yourself to a new adventure by indulging in the offerings that are provided at CAFFE BY ROSINES. I am sold on it and highly recommend! read more

I was really excited to try Rosine's new spot. The staff was friendly, the wait for food and drinks was short. I love the design of the interior. Bright and modern, love the colors and pattern on the floor. The outdoor seating is a nice addition. Sadly, the Chicken sandwich was not fully cooked. But when brought to their attention, they quickly made it right and gave me a refund. The lattes were a nice, unique flavor, but overly sweet for my taste. But I'll definitely be back to try the cake! read more

Love this place! It's quickly become my go-to coffee shop. It's in a great location, and the staff is always smiling, welcoming, and attentive. The space itself is on the smaller side, but people tend to move in and out pretty quickly, so it's usually easy to find a seat. The overall vibe is cozy and relaxed, making it a nice spot to grab coffee or a quick bite. The grab-and-go options are super convenient, and being able to pick up dessert that's truly restaurant-quality is always a win in my book. The cake slices are absolutely amazing and easily the highlight for us. We've had breakfast here a few times as well. While it's not quite as standout as the cakes, it's still solid and enjoyable. My only real complaint is during warmer weather when the front door is left open, on one visit there were quite a few flies around, and since some of the cakes aren't sealed behind a case door, it was a little off-putting. That said, this seems very seasonal and hasn't been an issue most of the time. Overall, this is a spot we visit often and will continue to come back to. read more
