Giant glazed sprinkle donut
Annie K.

Yummy donuts and breakfast burritos. Stopped by in the morning after grabbing some matcha nearby. Got the veggieburrito with egg and veggie and hashbrown. It is alot and i like that they give salsa(pico de gallo). The maple donut is like glaze with maple on top. It is soft and yummy. The burrito is fresh and good as well. Plenty of seats inside and very friendly service!

#0. Steak Burrito

The steak burrito here was not only made very quickly but it's absolutely top 3 best breakfast burritos I've had! I flew in from LAX to SFO this morning and was looking for a quick breakfast as I drove into San Jose and am SO glad I found Rose Cafe. If you are a breakfast burrito fanatic, definitely stop in and try this one. The service was so quick and friendly. Spacious and quiet cafe at 10am on a Saturday.

Fruit + orange juice
Juliet T.

I visited at 10 AM on a Saturday and the cafe was filled with families but not overly busy. The cafe felt very homey and the service was great- the workers were attentive and noticed I was cold so they closed the door for me (without needing to ask). The prices here are really good for the quality! My partner and I shared most of our stuff. What we ordered: - Orange Juice: Has pulp, but tasted really good and seems like it was freshly squeezed. Def a perfect combo with the burritos or breakfast plates. - Fruits: The fruit cup had a great variety of strawberries, melons, cantaloupe, and green/red grapes. Fresh and sweet! - Steak Burrito: Honestly the best burrito out of the three options! Great price for steak and very filling. Lots of texture from the steak and hash browns. Pairing this with the salsa was really good. - Breakfast Burrito: This one's a bit more heavier (and saltier) from all the meats (bacon, sausage, and ham). This burrito is great for anyone who wants a heftier or meatier breakfast. I think this would be great to pair with ketchup! - Veggie Burrito: I enjoyed the crunchiness from the bell peppers and hash browns in this burrito. I liked this one since it was more refreshing and felt more nutritious. I saw a few gigantic donuts on display which looked really good. I think I'd get one the next time I visit!

Amazing food, good service and very comfortable cozy place to come and eat and enjoy a nice brunch or if you want lunch. I had the pleasure of working next door at my previous job. An had tired many items an didn't get the chance to photograph all but the options are great an have plant to choose from. Plus I have to say the Breakfast Burritos are

12/13/2025 Came here for some fresh OJ and breakfast burrito. Been quite a while since I came here. A nice update is that they now take CARD. which is so nice. The breakfast burrito was still the same. Not only looks good but also tastes good. Worth the try.

Second time around after the first time rec from a friend. Haven't tried the donuts but they def have decent burritos that's nice and hot. I like the portion size and the wrap is nice and thin. The staff seem nice though! Weekend afternoon is def a lot quieter than mornings.

If you live in the bay and haven't eaten here before then you're living here wrong! Rose Cafe offers all the breakfast options, omelettes, wraps, salads, sandwiches, and coffee, but what sincerely stands out are their burritos. Their breakfast burrito is an absolute must try. Their breakfast burrito comes with scrambled eggs, hash browns, ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, and their homemade salsa on the side. You would think with all these meats and fried foods that it would be oily, but theirs isn't oil heavy at all. Their burritos are easy to eat yet give such a satisfying American breakfast palate. Their homemade salsa is also something else, and I would describe it as having a slightly sweet taste. It isn't sour or heavy at all. The next time you're hungry for breakfast or brunch, definitely give this place a try!

I ordered the veggie burrito for $12.75. I think overall it's a great breakfast burrito. The two negatives I will say would be the eggs are leaning towards to rubbery side and the burrito is way too oily. I love the onions and the avocado. Good price considering breakfast burritos can be up to $20 nowadays. Rose Cafe has been around for so long. I remember eating here in high school and the taste is pretty much the same. They also sell donuts. I've tried the cinnamon twist and apple fritter. They're not the best donuts in the world but they are still pretty good. Service is always fast. Quite a bit of seating which is nice.

Mocha frap was good, but barely had caffeine. My waffle was also pretty hard =/ Bacon was god. I knew they had good burritos via word of mouth, but i was craving a waffle and will try the burrito next time.

Avocado Chicken Avocado Salad Wrap, Steak Burrito, Side of Fries
Lauren L.

Quick & affordable breakfast/lunch spot. All of our items came out within 10 mins. I tried the Avocado Chicken Salad Wrap & Steak burrito and both were yummy but nothing to write home about. All the prices were around $10-12 per item making it very reasonable. Their menu consisted of burritos, burgers, salads, and wraps. Casual grab & go spot with the option of seating inside.

Restaurant located in the corner of a plaza. Very spacious interior and fast service even with a small crowd. Little to no wait on a weekend morning. Pictured: breakfast burrito. A staple item here filled with eggs, hashbrown, ham, bacon, sausage and cheese. Ask for the homemade salsa on the side that adds more flavor and acidity to the burrito. The hashbrown texture is elite and just an overall breakfast burrito that can't be done wrong. A little bit on the pricer side compared to the size but delicious nonetheless. 8/10 will come from time to time!

Jackie E.

Very friendly! When I walked in I was a bit skeptical since there was only one person there. The burrito I got was #7 it was sooooo good!

Are there gluten free options here?

I'm not sure. I'm assuming you're referring to donuts? But the menu itself is so vast, I'm close to positive you'll find *your* fan fave that is gluten-free!!… 

Do they make their own donuts or are they bought from another bakery?

I believe they make them. They have a very large kitchen, and their donuts tasted very fresh. My caveat is I was not there at 4 or 5 in the morning to witness them making them!

Do they take Venmo?

Cash only.

Is it cash only?

Yes, cash only.

Is there indoor seating at this retaurant?

Yes

Grab yourself a reservation ‍…read more Decided to take my dad out for his birthday and when looking for a restaurant, The Club on Post popped up and looked delicious. When walking, we missed the restaurant initially because this place is clearly, a hidden gem, especially being hidden along the nightclub strip. We were blown away by the curated vibes. From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite. But they only had sparkling lemonade, which actually made it even better. We shared a salad that had some cooked pears and squash alongside the greens, walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese. I do feel like the cooked sweet elements overpowered the salad with their sweetness and textures a bit. Wondering if a refreshing pear for crunch or more dressing could have brightened it up and provided a salty, sweet balance. I ordered the Short Ribs with a parsnip purée and roasted carrots and it did not disappoint. Everything paired beautifully together, perfectly salted and cooked. I finished the entire plate. Dad got the Pork Chop and while it was overcooked, he loved the flavors happening in the dish and was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing treatment of the kale. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Overall a great experience. We would definitely come back!

They ran out of jalapeño cheese bagels, which is my favorite around eight in the morning for a Saturday, but I'm glad I got to try another flavor. The people here are really nice. I was debating between two cream cheese flavors and then they said I could do half-and-half which I loved. The Greek goddess spread is also amazing. Same with the honey walnut. I even got little chunks of walnut in the cream which I did not expect. I'll definitely be coming back. It's a little store with chairs and tables outside where you can eat at.

Ambience kind of reminds me of an open tavern, but more... modernized and simplified I guess?

Food came out fairly fast too! Ordered the Breakfast sando, The Chick, Hojicha tea, and brownie sugar Hojicha Latte. Sandos were both very delicious. Breakfast one had beef and with sauce made it quite a messy eat. The Chick featured a giant piece of taiwanese fried chicken. Solid crisp and great spiced seasoning. Fair warning- the chicken feels like its never going to end. It took me 5 minutes from one and of the chicken to reach my actual sando. Neither of these are easy to eat. Be prepared to unhinge that jaw. Drinks were solid! Personally my hojicha tea was a tad on the bitter side, but the sweetener helped. Worth it stop if you're in the downtown SJ area.

Coffee was also better than I expected and worked well with the sandwich. The staff were friendly and easygoing, and even though it was fairly busy, the wait wasn't long. Overall, it's just a nice, low-key place for a casual bite. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely somewhere I'd go back to when I'm in the mood for a good sandwich and a relaxed atmosphere.

The vibes are great for brunch, a coffee date and even a family outing. They have a bar with a TV which is a plus. The service was top notch, all the servers and wait staff have great energy and move quickly! My server Roxanne was attentive, kind and helpful in deciding on what to get. I started with the Cookie Monster Latte, a cookie butter brown sugar latte with cold foam, a brown sugar, cookie crumb rim, Biscoff cookie crumbles and topped with a Biscoff cookie. 10 out of 10 would recommend! To start I ordered the Midtown Trio which comes with any 3 of their signature pancakes or French toast. I chose Peach Cobbler Pancake, Tiramisu Pancake and Classic Brioche French Toast, all were delicious! The peach cobbler one needed a lil something extra, maybe a peach,brown sugar and cinnamon syrup type vibe to it. My favorite out of the three was the Tiramisu, while the pancake itself wasn't soaked in espresso, I could tell they threw a little in the batter and that mascarpone cream on top really set it off! The Brioche French toast is a classic and hard to mess up and they definitely are doing it justice here. It was fluffy cinnamony and had the right amount of egg. For my main course, I ordered the Santa Maria Skillet with Coffee Cake and the Midtown Duo from their Chef Benedict's Selection, I chose one Surf and Turf Bene and one Crab Cake Bene with hash browns. The Hollandaise on both was silky, creamy and rich. The surf and turf was stacked with shrimp and nice piece of steak, I will say the steak was a bit chewy. While the Crab cake was loaded with REAL crab meat and fried to perfection. I'd highly recommend both options. 10/10 overall experience, will be returning.

We made a reservation ahead of time since we didnt want to wait to be seated on a Saturday. When we first got there at 1 pm, it was super busy. They were getting the table ready when we got there. We ate and lingered for awhile and by the time we left, the lunch crowd was dying down. Service was friendly and great despite them being so busy. I ordered the fish tacos and they were good. Not the best I have ever had, but good nevertheless. I was surprised that the tacos had a flour tortilla. I didn't really read the description on the menu, I just saw fish tacos and knew that's what I wanted for lunch. A fish taco on a flour vs corn tortilla is a debate, it just comes to personal preference but it does change the flavor. I prefer corn tortillas but I did enjoy these tacos on a flour tortilla. The fish was crispy, but I felt like something was missing overall from the tacos...seasoning, maybe? My friends all enjoyed their meal selections. Portions were decent for the price and the prices were reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We choose to sit inside since it was sooo hot and we wanted to be cool as we were enjoying our meal.

I tried the Eggs Benedict... the sauce was okay and the hashbrowns were decent. They're cooked with onion, which was a good addition. So I ate my plate, I finished it, but I don't want to come back for more. Even though I wasn't full. I don't think I've ever left brunch feeling hungry! I also had a vanilla latte, it was good but with a huge espresso machine like they have, they should have way more options for drinks. The atmosphere is nice. It's a huge restaurant, with great lighting. The outside seating looks just as nice as the inside. It's a nice neighborhood so the outside seating is a good option. I won't be back. The food was just not worth it.
