My cardinal rule when judging a café is simple: if the coffee -- be it a robust espresso or a velvety café con leche -- impresses, there's a strong chance the kitchen will follow suit. At Roses, this theory stands validated. Returning after a hiatus of over five years, and with the space having transformed from its previous incarnation, I found myself pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive without being intrusive, setting a warm tone for the morning. The coffee was impeccable -- rich, balanced, and expertly prepared -- a true marker of a café that understands its craft. The French toast I ordered was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, tender within, and satisfying enough to fuel a motorcycle ride on a bright Saturday morning. The atmosphere is quietly charming -- a laid-back, metro-inspired aesthetic that feels both familiar and effortlessly stylish. It's clear that Roses has cultivated a devoted local following, while also welcoming newcomers with open arms. Located conveniently for a weekend breakfast, Roses proved a worthy alternative after a missed opportunity elsewhere on Park Avenue. For those seeking a quintessential, no-fuss morning meal with great coffee and genuine hospitality, Roses earns a well-deserved two thumbs up. read more

The service was terribly slow. The food was dry and sad. We were missing condiments, and lacking of ingredients. (For example, the steak sandwich had the tiniest bit of chopped meat on it, and the chicken omelet had maybe 3 pieces of chopped chicken which was very dry.) The "champagne" in the mimosa tasted like cheap fruit wine. The air conditioning is inadequate for the tiny space. Overall, a highly disappointing experience. The one positive thing I will say is that the potato casserole is delicious and worth the upgrade. read more

240 Rose Cafe - Italian Omelet and potato casserole - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

This was a really disappointing experience overall. First, the process to make a reservation, being threatened with a steep cancellation fee per person along with table time limits etc felt really over the top, especially since the Saturday brunch crowd was very sparse in reality. Second, the service. We waited forever to get greeted and receive waters, and I do mean almost 15 minutes. We never got water refills during the entirety of our meal. And lastly, the food. Paying $7 for a side of COLD, stale bacon was a slap in the face. Again, it was not busy at all when we were there. Also, the rose latte was like drinking syrup. read more

Menu says they don't let you split checks, but then they said they can do 2-3 cards. If they can do 2-3, why can't they do 5? The menu says there is automatic gratuity of 20% for parties of 6 or more, we had a party of 5 and they added it automatically. Menu also says once ordered, you can't send food or drink back. My sandwich was supposed to come on focaccia bread but they gave it to me on white bread and rang it up that way? Mimosas were awful. The service was terrible and really slow for not being busy. Very disappointing experience and will not be back. Seems like they are trying to make the atmosphere instaworthy instead of focusing on the service. read more

Love this spot! Cutest brunch spot with nice decor. My salmon eggs Benedict was perfect and their potato casserole was so delicious with a nice crisp to it. Mimosas were flowing (plenty of juice options too!) and they were so attentive which we appreciated! Large portions so I recommend sharing! They even had a make your own bouquet afterwards if you spend $35 or more which was a nice surprise! I will definitely be back here. read more

What a cute little place! I have come across this cafe a few times and finally got to try it. The service was super friendly and fast. Their coffee is very tasty, and the classic breakfast had everything you could want. I opted for scrambled egg whites and bacon, it came with hash browns and toast. The plus was eating this outside on a lovely, calm morning in WP. Couldn't ask for a better start to the day! read more

240 Rose Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

This is such a cute cafe in Winter Park. I came here for the first time for a team holiday breakfast and we were all admiring the decor and the different spots to take photos. I think one of the best things was the latte art. it really made us smile to see what everyone got on their coffee. You know, it is the little things. I ordered the smoked salmon benedict with the house fries. It was pretty good and the portion was perfect. Everyone else on my group liked what they ordered. I do feel the coffee cups should be a little bigger because that coffee was good. The parking lot in the back is a plus. read more

I love going to 240 Rose Cafe for brunch! They have the best visuals and photo ops as soon as you walk up to the entrance. We ordered a pancake, croissant meal, and a regular breakfast meal. All the food was fresh and delicious. We also ordered peach mimosas, 240 Rose Cafe has the best mimosas. The mimosas are a very generous size and the flavor exceptional. The waitress was very friendly and got us everything we needed. 240 is the perfect brunch spot. It has everything you need, good food, perfect mimosas, attentive servers, and plenty of photo ops. read more

This one was an experience but not terrible but not good. This is a review where I want to list the pros and cons for you all to understand why I gave the rating I did. I'll start with the cons first and then list the pros. Cons 1) parking was very tight and hard to find. It took a minute to find a good parking spot 2) you were only able to get the rose bouquet if you payed 35$ and more , it was very hard to get to that price with the options on the menu and with the bouquet, you were only able to chose 1 rose and 2 pieces of greenery I don't think it was worth the price. 3) my friend got the salmon toast and she did not like it. She told the waitress who told the manager and my friend was only offered for them to cook the salmon more. They stated that they could not exchange the meal for something else ( I never had that experience at any restaurant that I went to where they didn't substitute a meal for something else.) 4) I ordered a coffee and it took forever to come out. Maybe like a total of 15- 20 mins for coffee for the coffee. 5) gratitude was already added even if you only had a party of 2 6) the food lacked salt / flavor which i don't prefer to season the food myself. Pros: 1) the place was aesthetically beautiful! I loved the pink theme for theme of Valentine's Day. 2) the manager was actually nice even thought she couldn't do more then cook the salmon extra for my friend. 3) I loved the flower option, I think it was a cute idea but I don't think we should spend 35$ (which doesn't include gratuity or taxes) 4) even thought they cancelled my reservation while I was in line waiting , the hostess was able to sit us down despite the cancellation. Overall. I personally not be back but if they resolve these issues it's definitely a reason to give them a try. The place was absolutely beautiful and I was able to take some cute pictures. read more

This was our first time at 240 Rose Cafe and will not be our last! I wanted to go here because of their latte stencil art. Everyone was friendly and service was great. The food was delicious. We had the vegetarian omelette with plant based sausages and potatoe cakes. It was hot and delicious! The coffee was so smooth with no acidity that you don't need any sweetener at all. We tried a regular latte, Roccino latte (honey, vanilla and cinnamon) and Rose latte (hazelnut, vanilla, and honey) all were delicious. read more

I should have read the Yelp! reviews before going. They adjusted the tip up on us after we left the restaurant. I received a Square email when I arrived home. This is fundamentally dishonest. The way I see it, if a business would do this, then no telling what else they would try to pull off. It is a shame because I always liked the look of this place from the outside and the food was pretty good, but the service was not the best (long wait to order, had to ask for drink refills, requested hot sauce that was never delivered.) I tipped what I consider the minimum, 15%, but I guess someone didn't agree with that and decided to increase it after we left. If that isn't enough, the prices are high for what you get. We won't go back and they are wasting my time with a credit card dispute. read more

Food was good but expensive for what you get. A cup of yogurt with 8 blueberries on it was 13$. The hash brown casserole was delicious. Eggs were cooked to order. Wait staff really needs more practice. Had to ask for drink refills 3 times, never brought the hot sauce we asked for, coffee came after the food and after I reminded him that we ordered coffee. The place is small. Only 7 tables on the inside but they do have patio seats. I do not think we will ever go back.. after we paid and left we checked our credit card on line and the restaurant had altered our total after we signed the bill. read more

BEWARE OF DECEPTIVE CHARGES AND UNDISCLOSED FEES. I booked a reservation at 240 Rose Cafe expecting a standard breakfast. Upon arrival, we were sat down and presented exclusively with an expensive prix-fixe menu that was never disclosed when booking on OpenTable. When we politely told our server we were leaving because we didn't want the mandatory set menu, we walked out. The restaurant even called my phone minutes later, and I re-confirmed directly with them that we had left due to the unannounced pricing. TWO MONTHS LATER, this restaurant surreptitiously charged my credit card a "no-show" fee. You cannot force guests into undisclosed menu prices upon arrival and then penalize them for leaving. To make matters worse, OpenTable support confirmed in writing under Case #22870303 that the restaurant itself cancelled the reservation--yet 240 Rose Cafe still stole a no-show fee off my card months later. I have reached out directly to management to resolve this billing error and they have completely ignored my emails for days. Absolute lack of integrity, deceptive forced menus, and awful customer service. I am filing a formal credit card dispute for unauthorized billing. Save yourself the headache and eat somewhere transparent. read more

We were looking for someplace new for brunch near Winter Park and found this gem. Limited indoor seating but a lovely outdoor patio with adorable photo ops throughout. Really enjoyed their specially designed cappuccino and latte printing. The food was solid... they're not reinventing anything but everything we ate was delicious and well prepared. Service was friendly and fast. If you spend a certain amount, you also get a free ticket for the flower cart outside so you leave with a little bouquet of flowers as a parting gift. It's a few blocks from Park Ave, closer to Hannibal Square... But a great stop for a delicious breakfast or lunch! read more

Had the best time at 240 Rose Cafe for Easter Sunday brunch! The ambience is absolutely gorgeous--flowers everywhere, making it such a dreamy and Instagram-worthy spot. I started with their signature rose iced latte, which was the perfect balance of sweet and creamy--honestly, I could've had two. For brunch, I went with the bacon, tomato & avocado eggs Benedict and a side of the potato casserole--both were bursting with flavor and so satisfying. I wrapped it all up with a pomegranate mimosa that was light, refreshing, and the perfect end to the meal. The staff was super friendly, and our waiter Mati was quick, helpful, and made the experience even better. Can't wait to go back and explore more from their extensive menu! read more

Very slow service and the manager is completely unprofessional and needs to be replaced. She lacks good customer service which is unfortunate because the location is super cute. We arrived at 12pm and the waitress didn't take our order until 12:45/12:50pm. My sister and I both ordered a capresse sandwich with fries but the waitress heard one of us ask for home fries. Understandable mistake until the waitress came and accused my sister of lying. Instead of bringing out regular fries, they take the plate (half eaten sandwich) and take it to the back. We've never had a place take the entire plate after we've taken a few bites but we just shrugged it off. We then notice the staff eating fries which made us uncomfortable because we automatically assumed it was our plate. We asked the waitress if we can just get a to-go box, and the manager came out with a very hostile demeanor, first saying her staff was not eating, and then saying she made her staff food. Which is fine, but they should not be eating in view of the customers. The manager then kept making hostile remarks and accusing us of lying. This location also has two young children working in the restaurant which kind of seems illegal?? Parking is pretty bad as well and there's mold on the outside curtains. Overall I definitely would not recommend this place, not to mention it is very overpriced for underwhelming food. Please take your money to another restaurant that has better service! read more

I visited 240 Rose Cafe on a weekend and was seated immediately. The ambiance is very aesthetic, with a flower wall that makes it very Instagram-worthy. Service was friendly. **Also I learned this after coming here but be aware there have been complaints about the restaurant adding on additional charges to credit card purchases. I don't think we had this issue but I recommend taking a photo of your receipt to be safe! For food, I had the ham & cheese croissant ($16). It was a larger sandwich than expected which helped justify the price a little. My friend went for the French toast ($15) which was simple and delicious. I also tried their specialty latte for $9.50. It came with foam art on top, which was cute, but honestly, very overpriced for coffee. Overall, while the food was good, I do feel that 240 Rose Cafe is on the pricier side compared to other cafes. read more

I love the vibe here. It's so cute and for those who want some Instagram-worthy pictures, there are plenty of opportunities for those here. The servers are always great and very attentive. If you come on the weekend you'll definitely want to make a reservation. Make sure you get a hot latte or cappuccino because they'll put a design on the top - especially during the holidays! The food is pretty good and some dishes are better than others, but I come mostly for the atmosphere (love all the pink) and the coffee. read more

Extremely Unpleasant and Unwelcoming Experience. We had a reservation scheduled for Valentine's Day at 9:45 a.m. Unfortunately, due to an accident on the highway, some members of our party were delayed. We promptly communicated this to the host staff and were informed that we would be seated once our full party arrived, which we completely understood and appreciated. Our entire party of five arrived by 10:00 a.m., at which time we were seated. However, we were immediately told, "Because you were late, you only have one hour to eat due to other reservations." After being seated, we were left without service for approximately 30 minutes. Our server did not approach the table until 10:32 a.m., at which point we placed our full order to avoid further delays. Mind you, we had already been reminded of the one-hour time limit It felt as though we were being punished rather than accommodated. Our drinks and food did not arrive until close to 11:00 a.m., leaving us very little time to actually enjoy our meal. At 11:23 a.m., we were told, "Okay, time is up. I told you guys because you were late, unfortunately you only had an hour." (I wish I was making this up) Throughout the meal, not once did the server check on our table to ask how we were doing or whether we needed anything. We didn't create a scene or cause disruption. We patiently waited for the check, which itself took an additional 10-15 minutes to arrive. We requested to-go boxes, paid our bill, and left. After leaving, the table we sat at was unattended and empty for about 20 minutes. If the goal was to make guests feel rushed, unwelcome, and inconvenient, that objective was certainly achieved. We understand being busy; what's harder to understand is being reminded repeatedly of a time limit while simultaneously being left waiting. This isn't a place that cares about customer service. There are plenty of restaurants that manage full reservations without sacrificing basic courtesy and attentiveness. We'll happily support one of them next Valentine's Day, and every day after that. read more

Subpar food and service at premium prices. Don't waste your time or money. I ordered the breakfast combo and asked if I could take the pancake to go when I initially ordered. They brought it out before the rest of my meal, nice and warm in a to go container. I explained that I was bringing it home for my husband and wanted it just before leaving. They brought me that same pancake, now cold just before I left. The scrambled eggs were overcooked, with brown patches and completely dried out. The coffee and mimosa were good, however. When the server came and asked how my food was, I said "fine." He made a face that expressed surprise and disappointment , but he didn't ask what he could do to make it right. My friend sent back her potatoes and what they brought out was no better, and then they refused to deduct anything from her check. The ambience is cute, but the quality is lacking. Every item in the decor was cheap quality. Plastic greenery covered one wall. PLASTIC. The theme is cute, but does not warrant the hype or the prices associated with this place. I won't be going back. read more

This was our first visit, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience overall. The food was mediocre, and the service was very poor and unorganized from start to finish. Our table's food did not come out at the same time, so some people were eating while others were still waiting for their meals. I asked for lemonade three separate times before finally being told they didn't even have any available. The café con leche came unsweetened, and no one asked whether we wanted sugar. The entire atmosphere behind the counter seemed chaotic, and the employees appeared disorganized. I also ordered the salmon toast with cream cheese. It first came out without the cream cheese, and after they corrected it, the toast was so hard that I could barely cut or eat it. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations, and I hope they improve both their service and food quality. All of our deserts ( tres leche, trimasu & creme bre le were all thawed desserts nothing fresh didn't taste anything like the authentic version, they were just god-awful! Who wants to go to a restaurant and eat thawed frozen food? Nothing tasted freshly made, and the portion sizes were disappointingly small. This was the biggest waste of 300 bucks read more

I made a reservation for 2:15 and arrived at 2PM to check in. As I waited, multiple parties for reservations for 2:15 also began arriving. They sat two parties who arrived after I did. I waited until 2:25 before I went back to the hostess stand. The host proceeded to yell at all the waiting guests about being back up and it being so busy. The outburst completed dampened the mood and vibe for a Valentine's Day celebration. I continued to wait And was seated at 2:32. From there I sat and waited until 2:46 before a server approached our table for orders. I decided to provide some real time feedback and leave. I had hopes for a better experience but sad to say it wasn't here. read more

So let me say this, if you decide to go here PAY WITH CASH!!! If you see previous reviews, they are known to charge a different amount then what you signed your receipt, I did an "other" tip and they decided to charge me the minimum option provided of 20%. My rating is truly for this, when I called the restaurant the manager refunded me the difference but when I told her they have a bad rep on doing this and I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt she went on to argue back with me and said she didn't have time to listen to me. If I was rating this on the Food, I would give it a 3.5... the fries and french toast premium were phenomenal... the steak panini was way too salty and had a grainy taste to it and the iced chai tea was I don't even know what it was, had no flavor at all. If the rating was on the decor, I would give it a 3, although it's super cute the seats to the table height are not compatible, for us short girls it's just awkward. The service, was ok it was NOT over the top but not bad either. read more

We visited 240 rose on a Sunday morning around 9:30am. We were promptly seated in their screened in patio, which is pleasantly warm. The decorations around were cute, and the setup overall is nice, but we didn't love that we had to go outside to get to the bathroom. Our waitress came to our table while one person was in the bathroom. When she realized that, she said she'd come back later. Once we were all back, she came to our table and said, "you were in the bathroom" in a way that felt . . . Almost like we were inconveniencing her? We placed our food orders, and the food came out pretty quickly, but I definitely felt a little rushed. It also took a couple tries for her to figure out what we were ordering. I got a steak and cheese omelette, which was sufficiently cheesy, but under seasoned. I also ordered home fries which were completely unseasoned, which was disappointing. My friend ordered an omelette with hash browns, and the hash browns were nearly burnt. I would've put money on them being previously frozen. Another person in my party got the corn beef hash Benedict which they felt wasn't super hash-like, but they felt the potato casserole was perhaps the bast thing on the menu. The last person in our party got biscuits and gravy, she said the biscuits were dry and there wasn't enough gravy. Overall, I was leaning 3 stars for this review, but then I got our checks, and I honestly feel like for what we paid, we should've gotten better service and better food. I wouldn't go back, especially with the other options in winter park. read more

We were very appreciative of the attentive service here. The lattes were adorably decorated and tasted amazing. All of our food was great. The Italian omelet had a ton of fillings and the ingredients seemed like they were fresh and of quality. The atmosphere is cute with flowers everywhere, but more of a casual deli setting. I was hoping for a little more seafood options on the menu other than smoked salmon and the pricing seemed a little high for what we got. read more

UPDATE: As others have said I have fallen victim to their charge tip scheme. I found out about this from a friend after I left. They messaged me saying to watch out that they are charging extra tips on the bill. I screenshot my Amex charge right away.

Bill should have been $67 and it ended up being $77. This is fraud and they should be ashamed!! read more

This restaurant is unfortunately very overhyped . We had a reservation for a birthday, and had previously confirmed with the restaurant, however seating was messed up when we arrived and we had to figure it out ourself. We had a reservation at 11am and finally got our checks after 3hrs. Many meals were incorrect when they came out of the kitchen and our bills were wrong too- even though they were input on a machine. The food lasted good, but took forever to come out. Also- 20% gratuity was included, but unfortunately not what we felt comfortable in tipping after the meal. It's also very hot inside. Also- they were out of "meat" aka steak bc their kitchen couldn't handle making it. However they didn't tell us before we had ordered. And their sign outside was even spelled wrong- "chek-in" Overall, it's a shiny bow on a pig. read more

The food is incredible and worth a good review. The service on the other hand... is not the greatest. After we were sat, we were waiting for about 20 minutes to get a glimpse from any waiter. What actually bothered me is that in those 20 minutes, waiters walked back and forth cleaning tables around us, delivering food or drinks, but no one cared to ask if we had been taken care of until I took the initiative to ask for service. In addition to that, the servers had a mouth on them. One of the servers accidentally dropped their toast tablet and along with that, an F bomb. The restaurant itself is very tight, so it was uncomfortable to have any conversations because the tables are quite literally on top of each other. I'd recommend the food alone. Probably won't be coming back. read more
