Had the most delicious breakfast at Red Rose Cafe! Ordered the Dirty Bird omelette. This was DELICIOUS! It consists of mozerella, chicken, peppers and pesto. Lieterally so good - perfectly good. It comes with a side of toast or a bagel i opt'd for wheat bread and it comes with potatoes - which i don't eat - so they swapped in frest fruit. The banannas, blueberreis and strawberries were so fresh - even being on mid winter here! Fast and lovely service. The Cafe has a few seats inside - the day we were there a good steady stream of people coming in and out. In summer or warmer weather outdoor seating as well. A few parking spots side of restaurant but also easy street parking! read more

We visited this spot on our way to get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and the holiday vibes were up!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful - we grabbed a table near the door for lunch after a short wait - during which we perused the very packed and tempting pastry case! We had a few different sandwiches all of which were fresh and delish. The onion rings were divine and we finished with a couple very tasty black & white shakes that were not on the menu but the server happily created at our request. Will definitely come back here again and again. read more

Wow! I've lived in the area for many years and never knew this place existed. Am I glad I found it! We had an amazing breakfast here! Our omelets were large and tasty- all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. The home fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside- just the way I like them. Service was excellent too! Definitely will be back! read more

Always amazing. Went for lunch last week, paninis are great. Food no longer comes with a pickle- which sounds silly to mention but they had the best pickles and it was the perfect little treat. read more

Love this place. The food is so good, had the Shrimp Po Boy in a pita today with some fries, very tasty! My son had a cheeseburger and he gave it a 10 out of 10, he's 20yrs old, loves burgers and this is only the 2nd "10" to a cheeseburger he's ever given. Took a bunch of desserts home from their dessert case, was hard to decide which ones to try so we'll have to go back soon. Waitress was friendly and lovely. Haven't had breakfast there yet but I look forward to trying the eggs Benedict, I've never had a 10 out of 10 Benny, maybe this will be the place. read more

Oh this is one of our favorite places for breakfast and lunch! Fantastic bakery, good food all around. You can't go wrong here. Seating is a little tight, but worth it. read more

Love this place! Great breakfast and the staff is always so nice!

The service was great 100%. Food was great . I had the loaded lox's on an everything bagel and my husband had the hunters breakfast. Everything was excellent read more

We stopped into Red Rose Cafe over the weekend after a hike. They had a steady stream of people in and out: you can sit down and order, or be waited on at a table. The service is super friendly. My husband really enjoyed the coffee. We split an egg plate- actually, they split the plate for us, which was really nice! They have gluten free bread as well, and one gluten free pastry in the case. Price point is good. Great place to stop in for a quick bite! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

The weight staff were very sweet very nice very attentive. Good follow up. The food was very good. Well presented very flavorful.. Very small quaint little restaurant, but I would come back again. Next time I'm in the Colchester area. They also have a bakery, but if I buy something from the bakery, I'm gonna eat it too quickly. I don't have that kind of self-control. read more

We stopped in here after a day in eastern CT and were shocked to find this small little diner had a HUGE deli case of treats and a full breakfast menu! They offer tons of coffee flavor options and even have gluten free toast! The place was a little cramped, but the staff were so kind and sweet and fun to interact with! They do have a limited offering of gluten free treats as well (when we were there a monster cookie with nuts and chocolate in it!) read more

I enjoyed everything about this spot. Loved our server, loved the food and the desserts! If you don't like small mom n pop type places that have a constant influx of people then this is probably an order togo post for you. Otherwise it was cute and Id do it again! read more

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. read more

Stopped by on my way through CT to pick up a coffee. Noticed they had a pumpkin iced coffee, so I tried that. It was regular and there were plenty of sugary, flavored sweeteners out to add at the coffee bar. If I had time, I would have stayed to work at one of the nice tables by the windows of this tiny lil café. I tried such a fresh and scrumptious vegan cookie. read more

i love their food their dirty bird panini and they have amazing sweet treats, i just wish they didnt close so early i get out of work craving their food and they close at 3 read more

My boyfriend took me here for breakfast. It is very tasty & the portion sizes are pretty big! The staff was very friendly & very helpful with suggestions/recommendations.

Everything here is literally so delicious. I've only been here twice but my friends and I have all tried different things each time and we all loved what we got and shared. Açaí bowls, sandwiches, fries, breakfast food, etc... all worth the drive I take to go here. The pastries are also delicious. I had the pistachio ricotta pie/cake and it was the best i've had. read more

Red Rose hits the mark. Great customer service. Sandwiches are very good. Their apple pie cupcake is the best cupcake I've had in a while. I really enjoy Red Rose! read more

Always fresh and tasty selections, breakfast or lunch and an amazing selection of baked goodies to choose from.

You'd HAVE to be dying of Hungar to visit this place a second time. Over an hour wait to get my nearly empty sandwich. Hothouse unripened sliver of tomato with a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar layered with the shear thinnest almost slice of indistinguishable cheese I've ever tasted and very few weary basil leaves. But, I did enjoy a bit of the panini crust. When I complained regarding overly long wait~ it was suggested I take it and go. Customer service was nonexistent. $40.00 wasted, lesson learned. I wouldn't eat here again if they paid me. read more

Service very slow. Food quality not very good. Even the baked items were not appetizing. Hash was good. Staff was friendly. read more

Seeing the amazing reviews Stopped with a coworker on road trip for breakfast. He had a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel commented there bacon was that crisp but not crunchy level just where he likes it. Myself I had the sausage egg and cheese on a croissant. I have to say it had to of been on of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. Not that I want to hit the road again but when we do I think we know where breakfast is coming from. read more

I love their desserts. A bit pricey, but worth it if you're in the area. They offer delivery through füd delivery, so if you'd rather stay home, the food can be brought to you. Their sandwiches are good, too. You won't be disappointed with the quality of their food read more

Small spot with very limited parking, but there is nothing I can say bad about my first visit here. Breakfast all day along with amazing looking sandwiches, panini and deserts. We had scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy and pancakes. Btw, their home fries are the absolute best! Their syrup is not Log Cabin, it's something much better and high end. Super thick. Service was also amazing! I will be going back even tho it's a bit of a hike. I'll probably check out the panini next time around. read more

Great service! Food was good too. I had the bagel breakfast sandwich and my husband had the hunter's breakfast and added meat. We got a ton of pastries to take home and even some artisan soap. The eating area itself and parking lot are on the small side but doable for two people. Will be eating here again. read more
