We got Matcha Latte, made with ceremonial grade green tea and I had it sweetened with honey. It was soooooo good! Definitely going back to get more while we are here visiting.

It's a quaint little coffee shop tucked into the corner of the courtyard, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. I customized my matcha and got a strawberry matcha with vanilla cold foam. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but it was still decent. The service was quick, and the baristas were very friendly. It's a nice little spot to grab a drink while exploring the harbor.

I followed the map and it was not obvious where Rosetta was located because it is actually inside a car wash. The parking lot was full so I had to find parking along the street. It was relatively empty inside and I ordered a hot almond milk latte. My drink came out in an unbranded white cup. Diving into my drink, the latte was rich, creamy, and very smooth. One of the better lattes I have had. Definitely a gem hidden in a car wash.

Latte was good just didn't have a lot of coffee flavor felt a bit more milk forward than I expected. In regard to the matcha the flavor was a bit untraditional with more vanilla and chalky notes coming through rather than umami. Busy spot with lots of parking. Seems like a local favorite.

Rose Cafe & Donuts has probably got the best breakfast sandwiches in San Clemente, although, I have to admit, this was really the first time I had ever "checked out" San Clemente longer than a pit stop for gas. As my mom and I were "passing through" taking this l-o-n-g-e-r rest stop from driving on the 5 (we were on our way to San Diego), we decided to get something more substantial to eat. Anyway, you have to go here. Rose Cafe's food seemed quite popular, considering there was a constant stream of customers ordering, and everyone noticeably ordered something different. I really liked the outdoor tables and chairs, located right outside the eatery. It definitely allowed us to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, even though you can't see the water. All in all, Rose Cafe rocks. We were glad to have found this cute place, tucked into a shopping center, no less. Overall, the food was awesome, and the location was super-convenient.

I'm very impressed by the biscuits and gravy. Some of the best gravy i've ever had. Very flavorful. Plus the Biscuits had a beautiful crisp on the edges so they never got soggy. One detail I admired was the chilled water glasses instead of using ice. This just leveled the experience up a few notches. I'm surprised how quickly we were seated considering it was a Saturday around 10 when we arrived. Well done! When my husband and I are back in SoCal we will be visiting again.

Parking was definitely busy, cars are always pulling in and out, it can be hard to navigate the small parking lot with big vehicles, trucks! Atmosphere was pleasant, you get the nice breeze from the coast line. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Plan to wait in line around 30 minutes or so just to be safe, and plan for 5 to 10 minutes while you navigate the parking lot. Food was really good to be honest, we did enjoyed our meals, their coffees, and lattes! Definitely a worthwhile visit of you find yourself here around Dana Point!
