This place is the definition of a hidden gem. Brian is great at what he does and it's easy to tell that he takes his craft very seriously. Both my partner and I had Star Anise lattes and they were delicious. We also shared a tasty fruit tart. The location is hard to find because it's located within a car wash which we didn't realize. I'm sure it's very convenient if you need a car wash and a tasty treat! It's not far from the beach though, we took both our lattes and our pastry down to Doheny. I'm definitely going to come back next time I'm in the area.

I fell in love with this cafe.  It is a "COMFORT " place for me. Inviting. French Toast is wonderful!!!!

Always a pleasure. Brian has been suppling my fix on beans every week for the past 7 yrs possibly 8 yrs.

Rosetta Chai Latte

Located inside the Car Wash! Great little coffee shop, with pastries. The area is shared with a gas station where you can get snacks and drinks as well. Some seating and a couch for you to relax inside as well. I ordered the Iced Chai Latte, really good flavor and nice spiciness to it! I will be back to try the Lavender Latte! Great place to grab a coffee before heading to the beach!

Mocha

Stopped in to meet a friend for coffee and had no idea what a great little place this was! Tucked inside a car wash you would never know about it unless someone recommended it to you. Everything is made to order and served in a beautiful cup or to go. I tried the mocha and it was just delicious. Can't wait to come back and try something else.

Rosetta Coffee is inside the car wash, drove by it three times before parking and walking around and catching a sign. Brian was awesome! Ordered the Anise I believe, recommended by Brian very good and the Love Boat pictured! Delicious! Definitely will be back!

iced vanilla latte

Super great coffee here! It's inside a little shop attached to the car wash/gas station. The man working was so sweet! Definitely a master at his craft. Also greatly priced! I got the iced vanilla latte with whole milk. 10/10! Will come back next time i'm in the area!

Unique menu

Such an amazing experience. Conveniently located inside the car wash store. You can fill your gas tank, wash your car and enjoy a delicious and fresh cup of coffee. Rosetta is not just an ordinary coffee shop, Brian takes his coffee very seriously and is an artist with every cup that he makes. The lavender latte was heavenly and Aztec mocha was insanely delicious! Brian offers the best service and you can enjoy inside at the bar or sitting area or outside while you wait for your car. Great ambiance for a car wash/gas station coffee shop.

Rosetta Chai and Aztec mocha coffee were our choices, and oh my goodness!!! How lucky that we found this place as we almost gave up!! It is located INSIDE the car wash building and silly me kept driving by without looking at the actual reviews to read that others have said where it is actually located! The batista is SOOOO NICE!! Would probably spend so much money here if I lived close by as I would want this Chai daily!

Vanilla Latte by Brian

On our way to Knotts Berry Farm from San Diego, I really needed some coffee. I found Rosetta via yelp and was impressed with the stellar reviews. I decided to go against the wishes of my husband ("It's gonna delay the trip") but I needed coffee and I was driving. Lol. I couldn't find it at first but like others mentioned its at the car wash so I was already unimpressed but the service was incredible! Brian was friendly and charming in an unassuming way. I wish this place was closer by so I could talk to Brian on a weekly/monthly basis. That guy is so cool. Now, back to coffee. I couldn't decide between the vanilla latte or mocha. Those two are my go-tos in any new coffee shop because if they can't get the coffee right, then at least it will be sweet! Brian talked about my preferences and we decided that the vanilla latte would be the better option. Fortunately, the vanilla latte was great - not too sweet and hot - just right. I also liked that he hand pours the syrup. Service: 5/5 keep it up, Brian! Thanks for being so nice and friendly :) This could serve as a nice pit stop between LA & SD as parking and bathroom is available as well as other iced beverages such as a diet soda.

Great coffee! I'm in town for work and this place popped up in my Google search. I had a great chat with Brian about beans, espresso, and various coffee nerd stuff. He was super friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell he cares about good coffee. Highly recommended.

Interesting location for a coffee shop-Cute shop nonetheless
Christine K.

Just messing around to past the time and stumbled on this coffee shop. It's located inside a car wash, who would have thought? The inside of coffee shop is pretty cute, it shares the space with the Carwash so there are some interesting stuff to look at while waiting for your coffee. There wasn't any pastries left when we were there but the coffee shop does offer it. The Aztec mocha and lavender ice latte. The mocha was really good, rich dark chocolate with a hint chipotle. Creamy and smooth with a spicy kick to it. There are tables on the outdoor patio, it seems peaceful enough, no interfering noise from the car wash. I think the owner works here as barista. Good coffee, good service!! Strongly recommend to check it out and great way to support small business.

Lovely coffee shop with great options and friendly service! I was really happy they had a lavender latte option as I've been obsessed with them for a while. The barista made it very well and the latte art was gorgeous! Their chai was also delicious. Will definitely come back!

Matcha latte

Oh man what a treat! This place admittedly was a little tricky to find. It's inside the car wash lobby. At first I was a little skeptical about the reviews but figured oh well let's try it since it's very close by Doheny beach where I was camping and I am so glad I did. Let's talk about the customer service. I had a few questions about what the order and the lady taking my order was super friendly, approachable and very helpful. I had such a great time that I went back again the next day and had the pleasure of speaking with the gentleman making the coffee and had a informative and funny conversation with him. Now on to the coffee. The coffee was delicious! I ordered the lavender latte and got my girlfriend a matcha latte. The espresso was delicious in my latte and he made the latte art look effortless, I was impressed and jealous lol. The matcha latte had a really good balance of sweet but not too sweet and not bitter which can be an issue. If you are anywhere nearby and want a good cup of coffee, don't miss this place.

Do they have glutin free options?

It's a very small place and I doubt they do but give them a call. I expected more on their menu but what I did have (egg, cheese, grilled sandwich I believe) was really good.

What's the price range for their coffee beans? are they freshly roasted?

Our beans are 18 dollars per bag. The beans are roasted when we place our order, always fresh :)

Is this a good place to study or hold tutoring sessions?

No. Some times when it's slow it seems like a good place to study but it's too small. There is a… Read more

I stopped by Better Buzz Coffee on what was a weirdly hot February afternoon…read more Like... sir??? It's supposed to be coastal-no-thick-sweater weather. Instead, I was out here questioning climate patterns with my dog on the patio. First things first: no iced coffee. None. But. The cold brew? Mild. Non-offensive. Surprisingly nutty (in a good way, *wink wink*). It didn't punch me in the throat with acidity, which I appreciate as someone who wants caffeine, not hostile combat. It's the kind of cold brew that says, "I'm stable. I've been to therapy. I am no longer bitter." Service was friendly and easygoing. No weird vibes. No barista existential dread projected onto me. Just solid, pleasant human interaction. 10/10 for that. Now. The patio. Love that it's dog-friendly. My pup was living her best life, greeting kind patrons. I, however, was trying to pretend I was a productive academic gremlin (with *aesthics*), and the WiFi was... aspirational. Let's just say it builds character. Great for touching grass. Not great for uploading Zoom sessions. (this was on the patio tho, indoors, it might slap harder than.. a correctly timed bass drop) Overall: great little spot. A few things to improve (please give me iced coffee and slightly stronger patio WiFi), but it doesn't detract from the experience or the coffee itself. I'd go back -- especially with my pup -- just maybe not expecting to run a Zoom seminar from the patio. 4 out of 5 caffeinated imposter adults.

I thought it would be a fun treat to bring my daughter her favorite smoothie at Alohana Bowls, so I…read morebraved the parking lot, which is the size of a tiny NYC studio apartment, and went in. The line was about 10 people deep, so I decided to place the order online for my two smoothies and sit and wait. My order said it would be ready in 10 minutes, but I figured it may be a little longer given the line. So I sat down and watched about ten people order and get their bowls. After about 20 minutes I went up to the pick up counter and asked if I could check on my order. The young lady asked what I had ordered. I said smoothies and she said "I don't know I'm doing bowls", turned her back and started doing....well bowls I guess. After that super helpful interaction, I sat back down and waited some more. 30 minutes after I ordered I approached the counter again. The bowl person looked at me, walked away and started petting a dog in the shop. Her enthusiastically helpful nature is certainly something to be studied (that's sarcasm for those who missed it). Finally, an older gentleman approached and asked what I had ordered. A few minutes later I finally had my smoothies. Were they worth the 30+ minute wait and the parking lot game of Tetris? Not especially. Will I go back? Not likely. Had the Bowl Baroness been more helpful perhaps I would have left feeling differently.

Rose Cafe & Donuts has probably got the best breakfast sandwiches in San Clemente, although, I have to admit, this was really the first time I had ever "checked out" San Clemente longer than a pit stop for gas. As my mom and I were "passing through" taking this l-o-n-g-e-r rest stop from driving on the 5 (we were on our way to San Diego), we decided to get something more substantial to eat. Anyway, you have to go here. Rose Cafe's food seemed quite popular, considering there was a constant stream of customers ordering, and everyone noticeably ordered something different. I really liked the outdoor tables and chairs, located right outside the eatery. It definitely allowed us to enjoy the cool ocean breeze, even though you can't see the water. All in all, Rose Cafe rocks. We were glad to have found this cute place, tucked into a shopping center, no less. Overall, the food was awesome, and the location was super-convenient.

I was a little disappointed I couldn't get a hot latte (since it was a chilly day), but I got an iced chai latte and it was really good, pretty sweet but a nice treat. I also got a BLT on toasted sourdough. My only feedback was the bread was way too buttery...I'd prefer it on the dryer side. The fries are delicious, but I was missing the extra seasoning! Overall Rose's has been a favorite cafe for many years now and glad to see not much has changed!
