Rosebud's is the go-to spot for a quality brunch or lunch in Jackson. It's small, quirky, locally-owned and, most importantly, features some fantastic food. With the exception of one off ingredient, I'd say my meal was amazing. Like everything in Jackson, there is never a wait, so even though it was pretty crowded inside we were able to get a table for our group (four adults and one toddler) right away. I was drooling over their Benedict selection and went with a California Benedict with sprouts and tomato. They had brisket all over the menu though so I asked to add some of that as well. That was the only downside. While the Benedict was incredible on its own (perfectly cooked eggs, tangy hollandaise), the brisket seemed way overcooked, almost like a bacon jerky, and wasn't at all what I expected from what seemed to be the star of their menu. I've had brisket at bbq spots from Sacramento to Austin and this tasted nothing like any brisket I've ever had. The hospitality here was great. Our server was very attentive and even found a cool etch-a-sketch toy to keep my son busy. Added note for the owners: The website you have linked on Yelp doesn't work. It says it's for sale - you should swoop it up! read more

Stopped by here for lunch on my first official meal of Yelp's Gold Country Getaway before the festivities began. Cool little spot with a cute ambience and homey feel. It's not too big and space is limited, but I think it's part of the appeal. Everyone was so nice and welcoming in Amador County over the weekend, and the staff at Rosebud's made that great first impression for my weekend away. I grabbed an Amador Brewing IPA and the Brisket Benedict. First time trying Amador Brewing was this weekend, and I had many more of their brews to follow, but I enjoy that all of the spots in this area support local beer. It just so happens that they make good stuff, too, so that's an added bonus. Rosebud's has a breakfast and lunch menu, with a menu specifically featuring Benedicts. I was able to make a biscuit and gravy my side, and was offered sausage gravy on top. They do a gravy of the day, which is a neat concept in itself, and I'm glad I was here for the sausage gravy, which would have been my choice, anyway. The eggs were poached to perfection, the gravy was flavorful without being overwhelmingly creamy or greasy, and the meal itself was just the right size to get me through the afternoon. I noticed the brisket was in a lot of menu items, so that seemed like the logical step for me. I didn't dislike it, but the brisket had the consistency of bacon, almost, cut in thinner, crunchier/crispier strips. It was still good - just not what I was expecting. This is probably the only thing keeping this from being a 5 Star rating, because everything else about my experience was lovely. If I'm back, I'll grab something else on the menu, and I'm sure bump the score up all the way. They've got a jazz brunch on the weekends, and that sounds like the perfect time to revisit. read more

I took my dad and man here today for breakfast. I got eggs Benedict, potatoes, flapjacks, and beignets. The eggs Benedict had about a tablespoon of sauce on it, which was runny, eggs that were completely overcooked, hard bacon, tomatoes, and avocado. it was barely warm. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, crunchy, and really good. The pancakes were good with a maple peanut butter sauce and powdered sugar. The beignets were fresh, hot, and bomb! They came first. I really hope this place lasts and gets a bit better with their eggs Benedict and timing. The service was good except we had to wait about 20-30 min before getting our food. ‍ read more

If you're passing by Jackson or stopping by, definitely check out Rosebud Cafe. Amazing people with even more amazing food. Such a welcoming cafe that evokes so many warm feelings. Stepping into this cafe, I knew immediately I was going to love it and I do. On weekends, they have a special brunch menu and everything on there is delicious. I got the linguisa scramble and shared fresh beignets. The beignets come with 10 pieces which makes it easy to share! The beignets were fried perfectly and had such a good doughy consistency that worked well with the cream and powdered sugar. The linguisa scramble was sooo good! What I loved most about it was that the linguisa is mixed with a fresh bed of greens alongside crispy smashed red potatoes and topped with eggs cooked to your choice. First, my sunnyside up eggs were cooked perfectly (yolk still runny) and the combination of the linguisa sausage and the greens was not only smart but delicious since the greens balanced very well with the fattiness of the sausage. My other friends got the benedicts and the fish chips/fries and loved it. Overall, we all loved our dishes and the hospitality was incredible. I would definitely stop by again on future visits! read more

Small place with great food!!! They have feature flavored water which was unique. My bf got the eggs Benedict's and I ordered their monte Christo, I didn't expect it to be that size! I ended up saving half for later ;). The sauce was savory went well with it. I love how it's located in a small town - such a hidden gem read more

Nice spot for brunch. The staff is super friendly. Food was great. Nice place to stop on our way to Reno.

We tried Rosebud's due to the great Yelp reviews. My wife make the occasional visit to Jackson Rancheria and wanted something different than the casino restaurants. While we liked the cafe, I think it is more a 3-1/2 star place in our opinion. I had the 1/2 lb burger. The meat was good, but not sure how it was 1/2 lb - 1/3 lb maybe. The smashed potatoes on the side were good. My wife had the scramble which she did was good, but not amazing. She also shared one of her beignets which were ok. They seemed a bit dense. Either due to their batter or they had made in the morning and had been out for a while (we went at lunchtime). The Old Soul coffee was the highlight of the meal. If you are a local, then this is probably a good spot. It was good, but not great and I would not go out of the way to stop by. read more

The staff is incredibly rude. One older waitress in particular. The set up of having to order before you find a seat is chaotic.

My husband and I had a late breakfast at Rosebuds. We were welcomed with a friendly smile and hello. First of all, we ordered the beignetes and eggs benidict to share. I agree with Candace, the beignetes were outstanding!! We have also had them in New Orleans and they definitely were as good , served with slivered apples, mandarine oranges and strawberries. The eggs benidict were also awesome! We will surely make this a regular place. read more

On my way from Volcano to Mokelumne Hill, I stopped in Jackson for a bite to eat. Found this cafe on the main street, parking is cheap in Jackson, only 25 cents an hour, I think that buys like 5 minutes in SF. I ordered a hamburger on a 9 grain bun with a side of fruit. I liked that they offered a variety of sides, fries, potato chips, fruit, salad, soup or coleslaw. They do farm to table, which basically means that they source locally. The burger was great and I loved the sliced pears, apples, and blood oranges. Prices were reasonable. Service was fair. Parking was easy. read more

This place was BUSY around 1pm on Saturday. A good sign, I thought but we waited about 40 minutes to get our food, and I was disappointed that we only got half of the menu (lunch menu) and didn't get the branch menu (we only found out there was branch menu long after we ordered). I wish our server would have said something after seeing all of us only had lunch menu, but I guess that is the downside of the popular/ busy place. Service was friendly enough, and uses locally grown food = fresh ingredients. I really like that. We thought the food was a bit plain side though... Hopscotch Sandwich was supposed to be honey peppercorn chicken but it was over powered by a hefty layer of mustered. Side pasta salad looked yummy but it was pretty plain as well. However, I'd definitely think this is one of a better food quality restaurant compared to some other place I tried around here. I'd like to come back and try the branch menu next time. read more

There's only so much you can do with breakfast, right? Wrong! This place is by and far one of the best breakfast, brunch places I've ever enjoyed! Their farm to fork, unique menu and style of preparing and serving is refreshingly delicious! This is our go to place for a great meal! Von appetite! read more

Fabulous food. Great, random find on our way back home from the mountains! I was starving and the food at this place fulfilled ALL my food cravings. It is a farm to table type of place, which means pricier than your standard breakfast joint. We were a little dismayed when we first saw the sign and walked in, but too hungry at that point to leave. Worth every penny. The food you get here is not your average breakfast fare. And it is only priced a couple of dollars extra per entree. We ended up spending less than $10 more for breakfast here than at Black Bear Diner. And the food and coffee was better by orders of magnitude. They definitely have a cheffie chef in the back making beautiful breakfast and lunch creations. First of all, there are plenty of beautiful vegetarian options. I had one of the tofu creations off of the regular breakfast menu. My husband had a wonderful eggplant creation off of their specials. Both dishes were fantastic. Great balance of flavors. Everything cooked perfectly, including my husband's poached eggs. Kids each had one of the kids plates. Pancakes and bacon. The syrup concoction that came with the pancakes was a divine mix of maple syrup and butter. Almost a caramel. Best of all, the owner sources a coffee from a roaster in Sacramento. The name escapes me, which makes me quite sad. This was some of the finest coffee I have had anywhere. Didn't even know that the town of Jackson existed before we drove through here. It is definitely on our radar to come back to now! And this place along with it. read more

Had breakfast today for the first time. Very disappointing! Took 45 min to get food. Bacon was burned, eggs were crispy, scrambled eggs were crispy served in a big clump, asked for biscuit for sandwich got a roll. Took so long to get food milk was really to warm to drink. You're expected to read the menu standing at the counter where there is really not enough room. Won't be returning. read more

This place is fantastic!! We stopped by on the way to look at property in Pioneer and decided to take a chance on a. New place for breakfast. My husband had the French toast made with homemade bread, nutmeg custard batter and the best homemade maple syrup we have ever had. He loves French toast and commented this is the BEST!! I had the two egg full breakfast with spuds and greeens... homemade strawberry jam and greens with balsamic vinaigrette. Everything was perfect and so yummy. We found out the the eggs, greens and the flowers all come from the owner's farm and the leftovers go to compost. I love this place...everything about it and will come back every time we are in the area!!! read more

We have been mostly fans of their now-previous sit down restaurant. Will update this if they should resume that. This reviews the "holiday" take out fare we got right before Thanksgiving. Frankly, two things were quite awful, the Lamb Soup, and the Salmon Pie. Some lamb may have originally touched the soup, but hadn't left much flavor. The onions and other vegetables in the soup were really undercooked; salvaged it by adding flavoring and ground lamb and cooking overnight on stove, but shouldn't have had to do that. Salmon pie had similar characteristics; even after the required 1 1/2 hour cooking (not advertised but outlined on a sloppy piece of paper) onions red and white were crunchy, the whole thing was flavorless with minimal salmon flakes. Made me look up the New England and Canadian origins of the dish, so another time will prepare that. The professional looking crust on top was nice looking, reasonable flavor, covering up a bland mess. Blueberry pie slightly better, but not much. Lots of blueberries, no juice at all. The Quail was salvageable also needing further cooking; forewarned, added an Asian type sauce. I'd get it again being prepared to doctor it significantly. Lemon scones, cheddar/sage scones, were quite good, as mostly were various cookie offerings. Hoping they'll learn from this effort, as they're supposedly doing something again for Christmas. Their prices were high, and they made an effort to do some original things not usually seen in this area. They clearly need to up their game in the taste Department! I'm sharing this so that potential customers of the takeout holiday effort can approach with their eyes wide open. . read more

Staff ignored us. Did they know we were there? Oh yes. When I asked if we sat ourselves... I was told wait and counter. They'd get to us, so we waited, and waited. The staff went out of their way to visit with other customers and chat with each other. Finally, we left and went to Mel and Fayes up the street. Rosebud doesn't deserve my money, or your time. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Amador county. So many amazing Vegan options makes my heart so happy. And the staff is always very kind and helpful. 100000/5 stars if I could. read more

Walked in this morning for breakfast very cute restaurant. You walk in order at the register than are told where to sit. I love French toast and pumpkin so I ordered the pumpkin French toast and my gf got the shrimp and gritz. There is no side that comes with the toast and when it came it was 2 slices of pumpkin bread warmed on a grill nothing near French toast literally two pieces of pumpkin bread. My gf dish was child serving size but she liked it. We each had a mimosa and a side of binets bill was $78.00 . Worst $78 meal I've ever had I can't believe I paid that for pumpkin bread. Disgusting! read more

Had a great Yelp weekend in Amador and stopped at this lovely spot for breakfast on our way home. So many great Yelp reviews led us here. Pros: Extremely lively and busy place on a Sunday morning but it only took 20 minutes to get our table. Husband ordered the two pancakes and ham plate. Pancakes were huge and the ham was not processed. He liked both. I had the custardy French toast which they use their homemade bread with "extra crispy" bacon. Very good thick bacon. Yum. Coffee was better than average. Cons: tell customers ordering water that it is strawberry water just in case they are allergic. Tone down the nutmeg in the French toast. Would we go back? Absolutely yes! read more

Welcoming environment. Many healthy choices, including vegan options. Lovely atmosphere.

Delicious, unique and local! The food at Rosebuds is DELICIOUS and locally sourced. They have tasty home baked goods, garden grown produce and unique menu items! read more

This is a hidden gem on Main Street in Jackson. Amazing menu, baked goods, pies, mimosas--you name it! The food quality is great. It's a nice space with art by local artists adorning the walls. I bought two paintings while enjoying breakfast with my daughter. Good food takes time to prepare, so be patient, enjoy the strawberry infused water and have the beignets as an "appetizer." The sweet potato hash w/egg to order on top is delicious. A side of crème fraise (sour cream) with the hash really sets it off in my opinion. I love so much about this place that it will be a weekly or bi-weekly habit. read more

This place is a little treasure. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, and the food was incredible. It's adorable inside too, but we ate at their outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful day. The waitstaff was very attentive despite us being the only one's outside. We'll be back on our next visit for sure! read more

Rosebud's Cafe - French toast with berry compote! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jackson, California

I'm so enamored with this restaurant that we just happened to duck into while in Jackson for the day. My partners' parents are local and they'd never been there, and it's now going to be a regular spot for them! The building itself is utterly charming. Old and colorful, you walk in a purple door to a quaint space. There is a counter for pastries and coffee, and also the option to be seated for a meal, which is what we did. Upon walking in I was reassured and happy to see that this lovely place has signage in several places letting minority communities know they're welcome in this space. This is important in such a rural community. There are trans and rainbow flags and it's just very welcoming and friendly. The food. TO DIE FOR! Deciding what to get was nearly impossible. Everything looked so fantastic. After much deliberation, I decided on the Portabella sandwich with a side of spuds (red potatoes roasted, smashed, then fried - just unreal) and it was phenomenal. Everyone I was with gave their meal a glowing review My favorite part about this spot is that it's a family owned business. Our server kept mentioning to tables around us that all the desserts were baked this morning by his mom! I'm already looking forward to coming back during my next Jackson visit. read more

I came here because of the reviews. I was going to order eggs Benedict but they don't serve the regular Hollandiase sauce during the week and they offered some type of mustard sauce. So I ordered the French toast. Well I get the French toast and they give me their house topping which is not maple syrup. If I wanted maple syrup it would be 3.00 more.. I would have never have ordered the French toast and have to pay extra for maple syrup. My husband had the breakfast burrito which was ok. If you decide to go here ask a lot of questions because what you think your getting , your not... Service was very good but I won't be coming back. read more

This place way over-priced for the lack of flavor and small portion size food. I ordered the breakfast burrito and my burrito was loaded with beans...and beans and then more beans!!!! The burrito was tasteless and the TONS of beans made it even more difficult to chow down. They pride themselves for using local farmers produce but that's about it. Nothing special. Definitely not WOW chefs cooking your food...but just cooks who can add beans and more beans to your burrito and yet are able to wrap those beans nicely into a tortilla. That's all!!! read more

Where to start? Walked in and didn't even get a hello or good morning! Walked up to a waitress said hi and asked if we seat ourselves or wait, and was told that we needed to wait to be seated after she helped the people that came in before us. Ok, cool. So we stood there waiting for a few minutes as she walked by a couple times and kinda ignored us. So we sat down in the little waiting area and waited another 5-10 minutes to be seated. A family walked in and was greeted and seated within seconds! Pissed us off so we left... super disappointed as I have heard some good things about the place. I will say that the place looked charming and like a cool spot to hangout. Just unfortunate about the service and poor people skills of the staff. read more

The Rosebud's Cafe serves a very good lunch. First our party of seven ordered a sweet hors d'oeuvres with beignet & fresh fruit. Everyone loved it. The menu has a full variety of sandwiches. We had patty melts, fresco burgers, and toasted salmon with sauté onions & capers, Our sandwiches were served with tasty roasted new potatoes. There are a variety of beverages and refreshing fresh strawberry water. The quant atmosphere of a beautiful Irish pub. There is a fine Irish curio shop with access through the cafe. We all said we would return. So see you at the Rosebud's Cafe! read more

Went to Rosebud's while in Jackson for the weekend. A lovely little breakfast/brunch/lunch place with nice variety for everyone. The omelet was quite good, as were the other dishes I tasted. The owner(?) was extremely nice and obviously happy to see more customers. It was definitely not busy when we were there. Maybe we were late to the party. I will go again the next time we are in town. Jackson is a nice staging area into the nearby wine country where we visit several times a year. read more

Overpriced. Not as good as my home garden fresh veggies and fruit lol! Waitress had trouble explaining baked goods ingredients when mentioned we had a food allergy. Too risky she said instead of helping. read more

Some friends recommended that we try Rosebud Cafe. We were there on a Friday and there were very few open parking spaces. I suspect that parking might be difficult on a weekend. Service was excellent. After reading several reviews, I decided that I wanted to try one their Benedicts. Our waitperson explained that some of the items on the menu were not available. Fortunately, all the Benedicts were available. I ordered Chef's Benedict with spuds and my wife ordered a Build Your Own Scramble with sourdough toast. My wife's scramble was very good. The only negative was the toast; I thought it was too dry. My Benedict was excellent and the spuds were something special. Rosebud Cafe is a bit on the expensive side. Breakfast for the two of us was over $50, including gratuity. read more

I liked Rosebud's. Atmosphere was quaint for this little town and service friendly. A little pricy - but the food was outstanding. Next time I may save my wallet and just order coffee and Beignet plate - that's a meal in itself! If you do want to go full throttle on the meal get one of several eggs Benedict plates - fresh potatoes and home made English muffins with a heaping serving of hollandaise will put you in the mood for a nap shortly after consuming. I still dream about those potatoes. read more

Rosebud's Cafe - Order the potatoes with breakfast it's worth it - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jackson, California

Pros: Welcomed upon arrival. Owners are super friendly. Funky, cheery, fun atmosphere, even down to the bathroom. Great menu and lots of specials. Extensive dessert bar at the front counter. Both our entrees stood out: Salmon toasty (regular menu item), a salmon sandwich on a toasted roll with (I think) lemon aioli and arugula was fresh, flavorful and we'd definitely order again. Vegan Veggie Burrito (special) was AWESOME. Full of butternut squash, mushrooms, peppers (jalapenos, I think), rice, beans and kale. It was a veggie lover's dream. Filling comfort food without the meat and SUPER flavorful. I ordered it hoping to find something I could replicate at home, but honestly, I don't think I could do it justice. I'll just have to go back! Cons: So many choices and so little time ;) read more

Rosebud's menu is so unique you will not find another in the this area. There is a lot of homage paid to the Celtic culture. Most of the ingredients on the menu are locally sourced or grown right on their very own farm. The Beignets were excellent! The omelets were fresh and full of flavor. OMG the French Toast was AMAZING! All their pastries and breads are baked from scratch in house. Can't wait wit to come back and try the lamb dinner! Service was friendly and attentive. Our server was knowledgeable and very helpful. read more
