Grilled Salmon Sandwich
Elizabeth A.

Food: tastes great. Service: today we met a new employee, Blake, what a positive addition. For the first time, he came over to our table replenished our free water, without our request. Then came in to check-in on us again and made sure we were doing well. Ambiance: quiet, and comfortable!

Chicken Pesto Panini
Steve D.

Family agreed the best feature of this establishment is their easy to crunch ice. Downhill from there. Place is cramped and overfurnished, difficult to maneuver around other patrons to get to fountain drink machine, utensils and condiments. Service on the slow side, usually few employees visible. Menu is concerningly broad: toast, eggs and pancakes; paninis, hot and cold sandwiches, pizzas, various salads. On our most recent visit (have been in here a few times in past 10 years) tried a panini, apple pecan salad, and Beyond burger. Takes a while to get food, and if a hot day some of the outside tables will be searingly hot because umbrellas can't completely protect from the midday sun. No one seems to sit inside--see above comment about cramped space. Also hot in there. Food itself was mediocre to bad. Panini was best of the items we tried, burger, fries and salad were super dry and unseasoned. Salad actually seemed custom designed to extract all moisture from your mouth. Chicken tasted like cardboard, Parmesan dry, tart apples chalky, dressing light and sour. We all thought overpriced too. Paid ~$60 for the 3 lunch items. Missing the neighboring Sharkey's that recently closed.

Spinach &cheese omelet with potatoes & English muffin
Leigh P.

My friends & I wondered why we haven't been here before for our brunch meet-ups... There's a great selection of breakfast & lunch options. They even feature options for special dietary needs like gluten-free and keto. I chose the spinach omelet with breakfast potatoes and English muffin. It came out quickly & was exactly what I needed. My friends strawberry salad looked amazing (sorry - no photo). Everyone was friendly & helpful. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We're coming back again.

Avocado omelette with home made potatoes.
Fethi B.

I always like to Suport local buisness. My omelette was perfect , home made potatoes are the best I had for a while. Amazing customer service with a smile . The best ambiance they have a little patio outside as well.keep it up.

Really good Chicken Pesto Panini
Adrian B.

Like the tomato sauce, went well with the pesto. Cooked well but chicken needs to be less overwhelming. I am drafting Porzingis.

Omelet - build your own with Hash Browns
Brittany D.

Came here for breakfast, and agree that it is overpriced. The monte Christo was good but the omelette and hash browns were basic at best.

Parking can be a little tricky depending on the day because of street sweeping, so keep that in mind. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice option. It can get pretty busy inside since it's counter-service and the dining area is on the smaller side. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the service was friendly with smiles all around. There were three of us in our party--my mother, my grandson, and me. My mother ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, I had the California breakfast burrito, and my grandson ordered the Rose Benedict with the hollandaise sauce on the side. The portions were fair and satisfying, leaving everyone happy with their meal. If you're in the Corona del Mar area and looking for a quick breakfast, brunch, or snack, I definitely recommend giving Rose Café & Bakery a try. It's a charming neighborhood café with great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

It was not busy and we were seated right away. They have a few indoor seats but most are on the covered patio. Most of the parties are two to four; however, I caught the sight of a family of six with two young children and one sweet small dog. We ordered breakfast burritos, avocado toast, and meatless burger. The foods arrived promptly. Nice presentations. The burrito is of appropriate size, the crispy broccoli was highly recommended by our waitress and that's what we ordered as our side dishes and it was delicious! My daughter loved her avocado toast. I could see myself coming back and enjoying a cup of tea and a nice meal on a beautiful weekend.

(Be warned, however, as it will get busy.) Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating! My friends and I, all law students, recently chose Balboa Lily's outdoor seating as our spot to study ahead of finals, and we never felt rushed or pressured to leave. We lingered over our meals, kept the coffee orders coming, and had a genuinely lovely afternoon. Despite being situated on a corner next to two streets, the outdoor seating never felt particularly busy or loud. It struck a great balance between having some energy around you while still being comfortable enough to sit, study, and enjoy a long coffee. Definitely a spot I'll continue coming back to for brunch, coffee, and a good place to settle in for a few hours.

I ordered their…read morecortado and the coffee flavor was prominent, smooth, with no bitterness and it had that nice tang of a good medium-to-light roast. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Their prices are a bit high. The cortado was over $5 and some of their fancy flavored lattes were in the $8-9 range (add on a non-dairy milk option or a cream top and you're pushing $10 for a drink!). For their simpler coffee classics it feels more worth it, but it'd be a bit of a splurge to get a fancy latte. The seating area is quite nice. It's near UCI campus so there were a lot of students studying when I came. There are plenty of tables inside and they also offer free wifi. The service was pretty fast. Next time I'll have to try some of their food options!

Immediately another employee, a white or Latino man making coffee, interjected and said, "Call 911! We just make coffee here." He made it clear he didn't care -- I told him that they could at least make an announcement and he proceeded to make the weakest, quietest, and snarkiest announcement that no one could hear. We get it, you hate animals. Thankfully the other employees did care and the owner of the dog left shortly. We will not be coming back for two reasons: that specific experience and also because my workplace sells moongoat coffee at a subsidized price so there is no reason to come back.
