    This is a cute little spot nestled in a house right out of the Main Street area of Colchester. It's a very cozy spot and it's very clean and well kept. There were two young ladies working the counter/kitchen and they were very kind and helpful. I went in on a Sunday morning and it was pretty busy- and I can see why. The only downside is I didn't have to wait a little bit for my sandwich. I got a Yankee doodle coffee and a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I only wish I had been a little more toasted, but besides that it was absolutely delicious. I only ate half so that I could save the other half for lunch because I wanted to savor the flavor. All of their other sandwiches and meals look absolutely delicious and I can't wait to come back and try their lunch! This is a definite must.

    Red Rose Cafe is small cafe and bakery that opened in Colchester, Connecticut in 2016. It was founded by Jackie Sirois. The establishment serves a large variety of breakfast and lunch items as well as delicious baked goods. Some of the menu specialties include pancakes, waffles, egg dishes, omelets, breakfast sandwiches, smoothie bowls, paninis, burgers, and salads. My wife, son and I recently dined at Red Rose Cafe while we were staying in the area. We had rented out a lake house in nearby Hebron for the long Presidents' Day weekend. We stopped there for breakfast on our last morning in the area. The friendly staff were able to accommodate us right away. To drink, my wife and I both ordered glasses of orange juice, I had some coffee, and our son had milk. To eat, I ordered the "Dirty Bird" Omelet (chicken, peppers, mozzarella, spinach, pesto) with a side of Home Fries, English Muffin, and House Made Corned Beef Hash. My wife ordered the "Hunter's Breakfast" (two eggs, sausage, home fries, English muffin, two pancakes) and our son had the "Egg Plate" (two eggs, bacon, home fries, toast). Everything was delicious! This was one hearty breakfast experience! We would definitely come back!

    The Red Rose Cafe was recommended to me by my uncle, and considering he lives in mid-New Jersey, it stood out. Red Rose Cafe is located off the main street towards the rail road tracks. There is parking on the side of the building and outdoor seating in the front. The menu has something for everyone for breakfast and lunch. It's written delightfully on the board behind the register, although you can get a copy to read as well. There are tables making a U shape around the kitchen, including a side room that steps down. There is also a single bathroom in the back. The chocolate milkshake was refreshing on a hot day. It came in a classic cup with whipped cream. The eggs Benedict with corned beef hash was very good, although the hollandaise was a little sweeter than expected. The home fries were crispy and well seasoned. Then when you're done with your meal.... there are the baked goods. They have so many varieties and flavors, from chocolate to lemon to a chocolate chip cookie lava cake. (That, btw, was delicious when heated for about twenty seconds) I've thanked my uncle for his recommendation, this was a great experience! The servers were also very friendly and informative, as was the owner who was working and available at a table.

    There are wonderful people in the world who say things like "I've got a soft spot for [insert underdog category]." You know who I have a soft spot for? Places with 5 Star Yelp Ratings. I'm no hero! Five Stars are my jam! I noticed a while ago that Colchester's Red Rose Cafe has a 5 Star Rating. When my 9 y.o. son suggested at 6:30 am on Sunday that we try a new bakery, I knew just the one. And Yelp told me they were open that early. Red Rose Cafe is not just a bakery, although they do have lovely desserts and pastries. They'll make you breakfast like an Italian sausage and peppers omelette, pumpkin pancakes, a benny breakfast sandwich or apple pie French toast. They'll make you lunch, like a house meatloaf sandwich, a pretzel roll crispy chicken sandwich with beer cheese sauce or a Buddha Bowl with your protein choice, veggies, rice and a honey balsamic dressing. I'll be back for some of that. Red Rose has cute inside/outside seating. Service was exceptionally friendly. My son and I ordered breakfast for a very early visit to nearby Day Pond State Park. With the sun climbing the trees, sparkling the pond and spotlighting the oranges, yellows and reds of CT Fall Foliage Season, it was simply gorgeous. We had the park to ourselves that early! Highly recommend! My bacon, egg and cheese croissant was top notch. You won't get a much better croissant for a CT breakfast sandwich. The sandwich had a good amount of tasty, crispy bacon. The egg was well grilled. The yolk wasn't quite fully set, which I like. I want to see that yolk shine! I chose pepper jack cheese for a pace change. It was well melted and provided a slight punch. For home sharing, I also ordered: an individual strawberry cheesecake with a bright red, oozy, strawberry splashed glaze; a long, icing striped cinnamon roll; a chocolate cookie; and a peanut butter M&M brownie. I slivered off a couple of dessert bites when I got home. The cheesecake was beautiful and delicious. The cinnamon roll was very fresh and good sweet with moderated brown sugar and cinnamon flavors. Red Rose's Five Stars are well earned. With Red Rose's high quality food, great options and outside seating, it's a great spot for families like ours.

    Great middle eastern food - the chicken gyro/shawarma wrap and salad are wonderful. The hummus is…read moresuper creamy and delicious. The baklava was fabulous. They have only a very small selection of middle eastern food, the rest of the menu was donuts and deli sandwiches. The donuts looked great also, but I was only interested in the middle eastern food. Great little place to stop. It's a very plain little deli restaurant, no esthetics. The staff were two teenagers, I'm guessing family ownership. They were polite and got the job done. I would definitely eat here again when passing through.

    Fresh food in a welcoming environment. Tucked away in beautiful colchester with a private parking…read morelot to make access easy. When you enter there is a good sized dining room followed by a breakfast and lunch menu. The front cases display a variety of donuts and some baked goods. There is also a refrigerated case displaying freshly made hummus etc that they not only use to make their menu items but that you can purchase to take home similar to How you would at a deli. Once you decide on your order it is placed at the counter. You are able to sit down and the order is brought out. After eating you pay for your meal at the counter. This is a casual and relaxing dining experience with lots of flavor that you do not want to miss. "Now this is what Colchester needs."
