There's a lot to hate about this obnoxiously-expensive cafe inside of the Dover Street Market with an ominous security presence and a strange aluminum paneling inside, reminiscent of the homes of La Boca. But what I cannot hate is the quality of everything I have tried here. The bread and cultured butter is everything I want in an afternoon snack. The quiche is phenomenally delicate. The espresso is perfect. I haven't succumbed to the temptation of the scones and donuts yet, but it won't be long now. read more

Rose Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

I've been a fan since Rose landed in East 30th st. Food is 5 plus. Bread baked on site is sensational. Service has always boarded on apathetic now it's downright hostile.when you take away the lunch plate which they used to have three items for a set price and order an incredible soup plus salad and your total is $45 with tip for lunch a little hospitality would not be unwelcome. I love their culinary foeard menu but sheesh even Paris restaurants were nicer. read more

One of the hidden places when it come to quality desserts/pastries. Its around the corner from my office and they keep changing the options which make it real fun to pop up once in a while ,pasties/cakes with figs , spicy chocolate , peach and more. Excellent preparation , not too sweet and always FRESH! This Dover st market by itself is a fun escapism destination..... read more

Well, one thing is for sure - I am definitely not hip enough for the Dover Street Market. But I can do quiche, and Rose Bakery sells the best damn quiche I have ever eaten! Flaky pastry, a creamy, custardy center, smoky lardons and swiss chard - this quiche puts all those sad, soggy quiches to shame. The cappuccino was rich, and the pear cake dense and fudge-y. Rose Bakery, I am a fan! Probably won't be back in the 'hood any time soon, but if I was, I'd brave all the too cool for school kids lining up for Supreme for some more of these treats. read more

Dover Street Market is across the street from me, and while I can not afford the clothes, I can just afford the coffee. The coffee is good, very strong, like something the dock-workers in Bayonne drink at 4am while unloading ships. But served with sweet little lumps of sugar only, so it's BYOS (Bring Your Own Splenda). Four dollars for a small cup. Today I had the potato and leek soup, with was a generous portion and thankfully served with a good portion of bread and your own pepper mill and salt on the side. It was more of a clear buttery soup with leeks and fingerling potatoes in it, it was good, but I prefer a denser soup. Eight dollars. To actually have a real meal here equals Trust Fund Baby! The waitress was very passive/aggressive - which I like, she was not very nice and it was enjoyable in an odd way, she wasn't overtly mean, just remote and above all. The Rose Bakery is a very small space, which is fine, but what no one else has mentioned is that seating is very public school cafeteria, there are four tables that seat eight each, and that's it. And it was a tight fit, even for my very thin very fashionable friend. Because I am a sucker for dock-worker coffee and I live across the street, I shall return. read more

Horrible service - in fact, non-existent. Been to DSM many times to shop but thought to check out the bakery. Was confused on how service worked so asked the woman at the door "Do I just sit anywhere for the cafe?" She said yes. I assumed it was waited service since I saw other people being served so I took a seat. Waited 10min and no one said anything or greeted me. Meanwhile the waiter was tending to other people who already had their food and asking them if their food is ok. I'm sitting there wondering how these people are being served and not me. Such poor and confusing service. Not even a greeting. I witnessed a woman who came in looking to order as well and then eventually just left after also being ignored. Not even gonna come back here to shop. read more

The bakery itself is fine. Had nice service, but the food itself, in my opinion, was overpriced and frankly just "meh." The place itself is really cool--lots of mini stores inside of it. But I would pass if you're just looking for a sweet treat. read more

I really liked their authentic scone with butter and jam.Some people might say it's tiny but to me it was right size. (it's pretty pricy though compare to other cafes). The service is not smooth or excellent but the fact that they have nice blight space and that covers the part. and it was to me all part of whole Dover Street Market experience. When we arrived, there was only a group of customers and more than half seats and tables were open, we could pleasantly enjoy relaxing there and warm up our body before going upstairs exploring all luxury fashion brands. Noticed other customers both who was there before us and came later were speaking in french and they all seemed happy and enjoying their company with what they ordered as well, that must proof something good. read more

Rose Bakery - My Latte - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

See all

TL;DR: Easy to get a seat (for now). Try the scones or the granola, but they're overpriced like everything else. And don't get the breakfast sandwich. This post was originally seen on Lettucespoon: http://lettucespoon.blogspot.com/2014/03/rose-bakery-at-dover-street-market.html Rose Bakery is British cafe/restaurant that has a simple menu and is set on the first floor and mezzanine of Dover Street Market. It has an industrial feel because of the exposed stainless steel kitchen and cafeteria-like tables and chairs. I went on a Saturday morning for brunch, and it was very easy to get a table. It seems to get more filled in the afternoon from the over-fashionable shopping crowds. We started with drip coffee ($4.50) and a minimalist fruit salad, which was a bowl of thin granny smith apple slices and small mango chunks sprinkled with toasted coconut shreds ($8). We also ordered the lemon zest scone with clotted cream and jam ($5), which was the highlight of my meal. The single scone was the perfect balance of dense buttery-ness and airy floury-ness. Though I'm pretty sure it was just served with butter instead of clotted cream, the wild blueberry jam made up for it. My mom ordered the granola with plain homemade yogurt ($11), which was a small 3-4oz yogurt with an disproportionally large bowl of granola. The granola was an addictive crumble of oats, almonds, and dried apriocts and cranberries laced with a guilty amount of honey. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was a sad excuse for a flavorless flaccid sausage messily stacked with an egg, avocado mush, and tomato jam on an over-sized overly buttery brioche bun ($17). DO NOT get the breakfast sandwich. You will finish your meal dissatisfied and wondering why you allocated so much of your daily caloric needs on that mess and sad excuse for a breakfast sandwich. Despite the generally overpriced everything at Rose Bakery and the unacceptable breakfast sandwich, I actually went back later that afternoon for tea time. I had a ginger lemon tea, which was a big pot of water with a few slices of lemon and a lump of ginger, with a slice of their fruit cake ($13 with tea). My uncle tried their walnut cake, which was a nutty loaf that was served with a single whole walnut. The cakes should actually be renamed to loafs, but they were not bad. They were baked on premises, properly moist, and generally boring. The best part was the small buttery sugar sprinkled chocolate cookie that came with my hot drink. I would stop by again after 4pm for tea time, but only because I live half a block away. If you're dropping g's at Dover Street Market, Rose Bakery is the obvious choice for a coffee or tea break. Otherwise, definitely stop by for a scone or some granola to do some serious people watching. The characters that flow through are definitely worth the time, and it's undoubtedly a cool place to meet someone for coffee. read more

Love this place and I've found the servers to be very nice. I've been here at least 10 times. Food tastes homemade without tons of oil and butter (like most restaurants). Menu is seasonal and changes often. Can be a bit pricey but I'll keep coming back. read more

I like this place a lot. It's not nearly as good as the Paris locations, but it's in a good location, it's a beautiful space and the food is great. Yes it's vegetarian and it's expensive but it's delicious and nice and light, but still leaves me happy and more or less full. Pretty good coffee and good pastries. Definitely get the assiete legume (plate of vegetables). It's the best option, always. read more

Rose Bakery - Rose bakery lunch - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Awesomeness!! Took my awesome coworker on a birthday outing here after being introduced to their food since they catered a work event. The place is located in a marketplace in what looks like a former community center. The food is inspired by fresh and farm supplied fruits and veggies. My coworker and I both had the quiche with salad and the birthday girl had a eggplant and ricotta sandwich. The service was awesome and I say this because our waiter was full of it! He applauded our selections with " awesome!!!" and "yeahhhs" beyond our wildest dreams. Where have you ever seen someone do this? There is an open kitchen concept so I can see all the goodies being made and they also offer a great selection of fresh juices and pastry. I told them I was upset they opened at 11 because this would easily be my spot for a grab and go breakfast before work. The birthday girl is vegan so she applauded this place since they offer a lot of vegan and gluten free choices... read more

Had a super late lunch here and met up with a friend. I was shocked at how crowded it was. Esp since it's in somewhat of a no man's land. They had last call so I only had soup and tea, but would've wanted to try something sweet. Whatever was left in the case did not look appealing. I would recommend coming here earlier if you actually want to try the food. read more

OK Rose Bakery, Can y'all hire nicer people. Who will greet your GUESTS with hello within 5 minutes, and offer them water and menu? Not once did my waiter was hospitable. I could tell she doesn't want to be there but is it necessary to make the guests feel unwelcome? Smile more, don't just leave the water canister and glass on the table and walk away. Pour some water on the glass! We are paying a lot of money to join you! And our time, don't waste it! There was too much clanging noises from the kitchen area. Unpleasant when you're trying to enjoy your lunch. How can you work being clumsy and not consider the guest that is sitting within 10 feet from you? Just a suggestion read more

Best bakery in the city. Their cakes and desserts are some of the best I ever had. The price could scare the average customer away but once you taste the food you'll understand why it cost the price it does. They also have lunch food which never misses. I had the soup and it was fantastic and I'm not a soup guy. It was served with home made sourdough which made it even better. Everyone working there is so pleasant and greets you with a smile and prompt service at the table. I would recommend this hidden gem to any of my friends visiting the city. read more

Came here twice in one afternoon (before and after shopping at DSM). Both the drink/food and ambience were lacking. I tried the tea during my first visit. I forget what it was called, but it was the "smoky" one, and it was very nice. The aroma and flavor was woodsy and hearty, and it came with buttery little cookie. The service was pretty slow and uncoordinated. It took a really long time (15-20 min) for my friend to get her regular coffee, and it wasn't that crowded. After shopping, we ordered some more drinks and snacks. I had the latte which was good, but also took kind of long to get. The quiche (I think) was pretty good, but the cookie was hard and a little stale. Also, the lighting is terrible at the bakery -- it's that awful overhead kind that feels more like an old hospital interior. Overall, the bakery feels like it was built as an afterthought, and contradicts the rest of DSM which is a total feast for the senses. read more

I loved the Rose Bakery in Paris, so I had to try the New York offshoot. First, the location is a bit weird. Midtown East/Murray Hill is a pretty strange place for both Dover Street Market and Rose Bakery. Also, the eating area is very weirdly situated on the first floor of the store... it looks like it was just kind of crammed in there. The tables are cafeteria-style, which is great for groups (we were six people) but not super intimate. In any case, the food, coffee and pastries are all fantastic. However, they are expensive and they come in pretty small portions. The scone was about the size of a golf ball and came with like... a thimble of butter and jam. My group ordered the smoked salmon with soft scrambled eggs (amazing), assiette de legumes (amazing) and grilled cheddar and prosciutto sandwich (not great.. stick with the brunch-y French stuff). In any case, really good food but very expensive and weird location. read more

I really love this place! Jake and Ada are amazing! They are so kind and funny! I enjoy coming for their great service

Rose Bakery is my go to place every weekend since it has opened. You are guaranteed a fresh breakfast or lunch every time you go. From their vast tea menu to their homemade pastries to their ever changing lunch specials, it is hands down a go to. The ambiance is fantastic and you will walk away feeling happy with the meal. Go! read more

Sorry. I just went here. I got a piece of bread called "spiced honey cake" to go. It was $6.53 (no prices posted anywhere inside). I do not mind, and regularly do, pay exorbitant prices for sweet carbohydrates in this city, but that's just too much money for a very meager slice of "cake" that is really a sweet bread. I would have actually told the guy I didn't want it, but he had already handed it to me in the paper when he told me the price. Also, it just isn't that good. Too much clove and allspice I think. I will not be returning. read more

I've walked by the entrance to Dover Street Market plenty in my years in the neighborhood, but I only recently became aware that there were shops (and a bakery) inside what looks like a stately old building that probably housed a bank some years ago. The bakery itself is just a row of 4 tables to the right for seating, with a kitchen behind the pastries on display. Getting seated right at opening wasn't an issue (we were the first ones to plop ourselves down), but by the time we left an hour later, there weren't too many seats left. While you get set up quickly, and the food gets brought out relatively quickly, the waiters tend not to really bother with checking on your water (unless you ask them), which was a bit disappointing. Given that the brunch prices here are pretty pricey, I would have expected a bit better. As for the food - pretty solid overall. We started with a plain scone, which was good and would have been better if there was clotted cream (they didn't have any on hand - a bit odd, as I feel like they advertise themselves as a place to have tea, and scones are usually served with cream, not butter). I went with the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, which was a delicious combo - the salmon definitely was of higher-quality than the typical lox that gets thrown on your bagel at a local deli, and I really like how the 'soft' scrambled eggs (which seemed to be a bit runnier than your typical batch of scrambled eggs) were executed. Definitely my favorite dish out of the breakfast plates. We also had the breakfast sandwich, which, while good, may have suffered from being a bit on the thick side and having a lot of filling. I don't distinctly remember the cheddar that was supposed to be in the sandwich, and I think plainer brioche (the kind used here had sesame on it, or something similar) detracted away from the flavor. As someone else also noted, the sausage in the sandwich is pretty generic - something like chorizo or maybe a spiced lamb sausage would work really well with the avocado, which already gives the dish a slight Mexican bent. We finished off with the toffee pudding, which was really good. I'm not a person who seeks out toffee, but the caramelized toffee really works nicely on top of the pudding (which, to be honest, was more like a mini-cake - maybe the waitress just said pudding randomly). The cream that was served with it (thanks again to the servers, for not mentioning what it was) really paired well with it. In all - it's a nice little spot inside what a boutique market, but the food is a bit uneven, the service is less than impressive, and what really would prevent me from coming here that frequently are the prices. A smaller-than-average scone for $5? Fresh-squeezed glass of OJ for $8? And if you wanted a simple bacon and eggs, that goes for $16...maybe the upkeep of the place is expensive, but I wouldn't come here unless there was something I really wanted to have (like the salmon with scrambled eggs). There's definitely bites worth coming back for, and the pastries looked delectable, but there's a reason that there's a constant line for brunch at Penelope's across the street and not here. read more

Sure, this isn't at the level of the original Rose Bakeries in Paris, but it's still quite good and easily the best brunch in Murray Hill. I'm always surprised to see the crazy lines at barely mediocre Penelope across the street when Rose Bakery is far superior and rarely crowded. The egg sandwich is one of my favorite breakfasts in Manhattan - the avocado mash and beautiful side salad take it to the next level. And the pancakes are fantastic if you're in the mood for something sweet--fluffy, buttery, rich, delightful. I've had several of the brunch menu items and have never been dissatisfied. Beautifully prepared food with quality ingredients! Yes, it's a little pricey - but I'm happy to pay a bit more and really love my meal. read more

This place was absolutely disappointing and poorly maintained. As I say down eating my plate of three salads I discovered something moving. To my disbelief I found out that it was a ROACH!Yeah a cockroach!!!! I cannot believe the chefs missed that.

delightfully insouciant Rose Bakery on the ground floor at DSMNY is a paragon of excellence and fine taste. a great tradition of English tea room infused with French technique and garnished with just a dash of bravado. the menu is simple, unabashed and there is a verity about the level of quality of ingredient, which is reflected not only in the end product, but the price too. staff are beyond accommodating and moreover, very nice. read more

Great place to sit and chat with a friend. I recommend the quiche with bacon and leeks, chicken salad, White Nixon tea, and pumpkin pie.

I really wish The Rose Bakery would get their act together. It's a hidden gem in the city not to mention it's located in The Dover Street Market. I visit often as I live in the neighbourhood. The last three times I've been at The Rose the service has been dismal. Surly wait staff who clearly don't want to be there. Long waits for coffee that may or may not appear and a general unpleasant experience. The only light in this dark place is the young man -Jake? - who shines. Please step it up. I hate to have to find another local place to hang. read more

I miss the place in Paris and am so glad they finally opened one here. I am disappointed their famous banana smoothie is not included on the NY menu. Prices are high but so is everywhere else really for decent fresh baked goods. For those who are balking at the prices - there are two lovely cookbooks that will show we who are on a budget how to live like a queen at home. The books are highly recommended...as are the occasional visits here when one is flush with cash. read more

I am sad to report that even though everything here tastes delicious (especially the occasional pancakes)... my wallet feels like it has been raped. There's NO excuse for the outrageous prices. Appealing shamelessly to the 1% by excluding everyone else with $5 coffee and $20 quiche is beyond cynical. There's an old fashioned arrogance amongst the staff reflecting their eagerness to be so damned exclusive. I peered into the open concept kitchen to see what was going on and was asked imperiously by a 'chef' what I was looking at. I told her that if they didn't want people looking into their kitchen perhaps they should redesign the open concept. BY FAR THE WORSE problem in this tatty little space decorated with dusty knitted sculpture? There are far too many tables. We are CRAMMED together to eat expensive food. I paid $60 for two pancakes one orange juice and a hyper active child sitting an inch and a half behind me. ONE STAR for this utter travesty. read more

Rose Bakery is such a gem, particularly in this neighborhood.

Not to bost, I've been to the others in London and Tokyo & I was so looking forward to one in my home town NYC. I went to the shop durring the first week, a nice shopping experiance, thought it was a good sign the bakery was full. I knew I'd be back soon as I had my eye on a jacket.... A couple of weeks later I went back to visit the jacket and have tea at the bakery. I decided on a diffrent style of the same jacket at Barneys. Then to the bakery.... I sat myself at one of the large tables, there were 3 other parties all well into their meals. I sat & sat long enough to think twice about leaving. When a young man came to inform me lunch was over and it was tea time. Great I said that's what I'm here for. He then got my set up. A peice if butcher paper & a menu. Well there's 20 min. of my life. 10 min. later he isles if I was ready to order. I had a couple of questions..... I could see the crumble was a dark filling so I asked. I was told apple, hmmmm, guess I skip that, this I thought is going to be interesting. Ok I'll have the cream scone. Cream being clotted cream..... So another 10 min. Goes by and I get my pot if tea, no condiments, luckally I drink it black and unsweetened. Also I noticed a ripped peice of paper between my pot of tea and the saucer, hmmm ( again). It was a ripped peice of the menu um, ok out of napkins?! Another 10 min and I get a warm hockey puck with flecks of blue. Hmmmmm....no clotted cream, a translation problem? So I put butter and marmalade on a hunk ok scone UGH! What is this? Let try it without the marmalade UGH! Let's try just the scone, is it the butter collecting flavor from the fridge?! UGH! No one has asked me how everything is, by now 2/4 of the scone is gone and im trying to get rid of this taste with my tea and it's not happenning. Now I sit and wait with my wallett in the table for who knows how long. By now there is only one other person having cake & myself. I'm kind of bent now and he comes and puts down my bill, and starts to walk away. I asked well don't you want to know how everything was?! Oh um how was it? Terrable, what was that scone and doesn't it come with clotted cream? Oh it was a stilton scone and we went sure how to serve it. I suggested that when someone is ordering a CREAM scone, if it's going to be a savory scone YOU shold let them know. I just can't get this taste out of my mouth. He suggested I wash it down with a chocolate chip cookie. I suggested I leave as I don't have another 1.5 hours & $17 if my life that I'll never get back. Oh, the manager was in a meeting, not that I was going to complain as much as suggest the staff has some knowledge.... Hmmm, manager in a meeting, when the cats away... read more

Walked in and was completely ignored. No host or concierge, just a stack of t-shirts by the door, and an odd hut-like structure with a man inside. Turned around for a couple of minutes, trying to figure out what to do. Finally, I asked a customer if he was in line. He said to see the guy behind a counter, which was squashed in the corner of the room. I squeezed past some dining tables, into the corner, and asked the guy "How does this work?" He said, "For what?" I told him "takeout," he shoved a menu in my face, and said he would be back. He finally took my order and told me to go back and stand near the door. He was not friendly at all, and was giving me attitude. While waiting by the door, I noticed two other customers came in, and--miraculously--they were not ignored. Instead, they were paid attention to right away, and directed towards available tables. Guess I'm not sufficiently white, rich, tall, or fashionable enough to be worth their time. That's the last time I spend $16 for a piece of quiche and some lettuce. read more

Rose Bakery is simply divine. There tea and pastry selection is wonderfully decedent. The staff is very nice and patient too.
