    Amazing prices
    Queenie D.

    LOVE THIS PLACE. Definitely in somewhat of a rough neighborhood with interesting characters that passes by, but the food is legit. We ate here like 4 times in 2 days. The food is very cheap and super tasty. I can go on and on about it, but I will keep it brief: if you are in the area, do check it out. Check their hours of operation also, because I think they close at around 5 or 6ish? Not sure on that.

    Cheap breakfast/lunch spot in the middle of golden glades. Ladies behind the counter are very friendly and love to interact with their customers. Service: 5/5. Food came out fast. Ladies asked us if everything was okay and attended to our needs fairly quickly. Food: 4/5. Ordered the steak with egg breakfast. Came paired with fries, tostada, and cafe con leche. The steak was surprisingly tasty. Meat was of a decent size and was sautéed in onions, YUM. The flavor reminded me of my grandma's cooking which I found very nostalgic and comforting. The fries were okay, nothing out of this world. I loved the tostada and cafe con leche. They weren't stingy with the butter and made sure the bread was nice and toasty. The cafe con leche was very hot and sweet - just how I like it. For the price and location of this place, I was highly impressed with the quality of food for the price. Although my girlfriend wasn't a big fan, I would definitely come back for a quick, cheap meal.

    You are foolish to not try this place. No! It's not fancy! But it's a great way to start the morning. The staff excluding the young daughter are very friendly. But the food... OMG! It was so freaking delicious! And there was always a line at 9 in the morning... On a SATURDAY! If that is not a hint and a half as to how good this food is... Then I don't know what it is! Hands down, the food is the bomb!

We were there early; before 8AM, so there was plenty of seating and no wait to order. We ordered a large black coffee and a large breakfast pizza. The breakfast pizza comes with eggs your way (poached, scrambled, over easy, medium or hard), choice of cheese (cheddar, swiss, smoked provolone or mozzarella) and a meat or a veg. We opted for over medium, smoked provolone and mushrooms. The pizza took a while to be ready and it was worth the wait! Deliciously crispy and smoky, enhanced by their real wood fired oven! It was a true delight! The coffee was fantastic as well. We had it black, the true test of coffee greatness, and Alaska's house roast passed the test with flying colors! Add in a pleasant dining room and friendly service, and this is a true 5-star experience!

While the service was super friendly and the coffeehouse/pizza shop vibe was pleasant ( loved the jazz music), the dish itself was a 4 out of 5. The Hollandaise was watery and lacking in the flavor department. The ham was just OK. For a premium price, a bit disappointing That all being said, it just might not be their best dish. The avocado toast looked amazing. I'll try this place again, if only to explore the amazing looking items in the bakery case.

I ordered The Traditional Shakshuka while my wife ordered their Labneh Chimichurri Roasted Salmon. The Shakshuka is served with their house-made Challah bread and Green Tahini sauce. I quite enjoyed the tahini sauce, and, along with the Shakshuka, it was a good dip for the bread. My wife's roasted salmon was not bad either. It came with lentil rice, labneh yogurt, veggies, and the roasted salmon. I actually visited them a second time to try out their pastry items. It was mediocre in the form they gave me. Apparently, there is an option to "warm", but they neglected to mention that. I also got their Basque Cheesecake, and that actually tasted pretty good. The Miscellaneous The Madame Olivia cafe is in a small plaza, among other shops. The interior has quite the aesthetic, which is how we found them. It is quite spacious and can accommodate small and large parties. They have a good selection of dishes on their normal menu. But they also have pastries along with small items. This is a neat little cafe to visit and hang out with friends, with some unique selections.

The turn in is a bit awkward, but there parking lot was pretty much empty at that time (and completely full by the time we left). I do not have a large car and the spots are super narrow. If you drive a truck, I would not try to park in the inner lot in front of the entrance. The place is clearly LGBT friendly; kudos for the pride flags out front. I immediately felt like I was walking into a hipster cafe in Cali. You order and pay inside; get a table number and the bring your food and drinks out to you. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I got the secret pita and golden latte. Service was relatively quick. Drink came then food shortly after. I totally wasn't thinking when I got the golden latte. It was a bit warm outside for a hot latte but I wanted to try something unique. Hard to describe but I enjoyed it. It came with granola on the dish. Not sure if you are supposed to throw it in. The squirrels and birds ended up eating mine. Yes, there was a lot of wildlife that was not shy. The squirrel was literally eating out of my hand and would have sat on our table if my friend allowed it. The bird flew in and did just that though. Came back for seconds a few times. Then as the place got busier, they must have gone off to bother others. As an animal lover, this was a fun perk but may be a turn off to some. The presentation for the pita was unexpected. I had to open a the box to get to my meal. You can choose how the egg is cooked. I went with the default sunny side up. The chorizo hit. Hummus was ok. Kind of bland. I didn't care for olives and picked the fruit off my dessert pita. Felt like I had enough pita carbs by the time I got to it. The ambiance was mostly peaceful. They do play music which was on the border of getting too loud. Coffee was pricy but all coffee is now. The food was also on the high end. This would be a major factor on whether to come back. I don't recall anything unique on the menu aside from the pita. The menu appears to change seasonally though.

First the ambiance. The minute you walk into the restaurant, you feel as if you were transported to a high-end European cafe or a London tea room. The elegance, the fresh roses, and the smart blend of modern and art deco styles immediately sets a romantic mood whether you're there for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. Second, the food. Under the leadership of Chef Gianluca, he brings to life a variety of delicious Mediterranean inspired dishes. I tried the tuna tartar, the eggplant Parmesan, and the crispy shrimp as appetizers. That was followed by a homemade pasta dish that was perfectly al dente and amazing. As a main dish, I tried the filet mignon with truffles and mushrooms. But, as good as the meal tasted, however, the freshly made pistachio gelato served on a frozen stone for dessert was a show stopper. But, the ambiance and the food could not be outmatched by the stellar service. Our server Damaris, and her team added to the attention to detail that the ambiance and the food demanded and accomplished by the exemplary service on par with any Michelin starred restaurant. Adding to the experience, however, was the live entertainment by Vocalist Cami Liz, whose sultry renditions of ageless songs only added to the enchanting ambiance, the delicious food and romantic charm of The Rose Cafe, that ensures a return visit! https://www.rosecafeandrestaurant.com/
