Such a rare coffee treasure for a small town. My husband and I love seeking out local cafes when traveling, but find the smaller town coffee shops are generally disappointing. But this was so NOT the case with Cafe Rosetta's!! They used high quality beans, really knew how to make a proper espresso drink (from an Americano, Cortado to a miel) and also make awesome latte art! Just like the pictures shown on their website. I neglected to take pictures, but trust me the drinks are legit! Their food was also very good. The avocado toast is excellent! The breakfast bowls were also great. Also generous portions. They also have great outdoor seating and their staff is very friendly, unassuming service. read more

Quality of food is excellent. Great menu options. Very decent prices. Good service. We had the Breakfast Special and I have NEVER had better made hash browns thank these. Yummy eggs and delicious sourdough bread. We also ordered the burrito and my son loved it. Plus the girl at the bar is super nice! read more

The donut that I got was pretty good the coffee that my mom got she said was good the service was decent the donut gave me a stomach ache sooooo read more

The agate latte is the best. Will definitely be coming back here soon. The service is amazing and atmosphere is very welcoming. read more

Cafe Rosetta - Agate latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Calumet, Michigan

The cinnamon roll I had was amazing. All hand made stuff, very good. Coffee was eh. And they don't have bagels. Pretty good!

We were in Calumet for a couple of days recently. We fell in love with Cafe Rosetta the first morning when we stopped in for breakfast! Great food, great service and a very cool vibe. The second day, however, the service was not great! It seemed like new staff was being trained both days and the second day the trainee was being left to her own devices and neither she nor the supervisor were paying attention to what they were doing. I had to return to the counter TWICE about issues with my order. Very disappointing. If they can fix this issue, Cafe Rosetta would be a solid five. read more

I can't remember what the meal was called, but it was perfectly filling and delicious! I love breakfast food (especially when I don't have to cook it myself!) and this was so good! It also comes with coffee, so it was great to sip coffee after with friends. Cafe Rosetta is one of my stops every time I'm in town! read more

This place, frequented predominantly by locals, captures the essence of Calumet with its laid back U.P. vibe. They have a surprisingly diverse breakfast and lunch menu (try the pannukakku) as well as fast and fast and friendly service. I make the drive from Lac La Belle (about a half hour drive) more mornings than not. read more

Friendly service. Great Honey Bee Latte and Almond Joy Muffin. Quaint indoor seating with space to work. read more

We stopped into Cafe Rosetta on a whim- I can't be more happy. This quaint little cafe hit the absolute spot. Me and my sister got the Bagel Sandwich- Devine. I got a gluten free bagel, it was delicious (and no additional charge!) The ladies behind the bar were amazing and accommodative. We also got a lemon poppy seed muffin that may have actually changed the course of my life. It was so delicious I will continue to dream about for likely the rest of my days. And the Sisu Nisu Latte Iced is a taste I will strive to find or recreate in every cup of coffee for the next several months. I am genuinely sad we are not from Calumet and that this will be our first and last time at Cafe Rosetta. read more

Though I think they do a good job with their food, I was so disappointed when, during our first Covid lockdown, they allowed a Health Department employee's name, face, and phone number to be posted on their door. The poster demonized the poor woman and ended up provoking a harassment campaign which included thugs showing up at her home threatening her. While Cafe Rosetta used the "poor single mom" angle to justify the noncompliance of mask-wearing, they certainly condoned , and ENCOURAGED the ongoing bullying of the health department woman who was also a single mom... doing her JOB! I'll never go in there again, and neither will my level-headed acquaintances. read more

The Cali sambo may have been one of the best I've had in my life (recommend substituting the pepper Jack with white cheddar) Unique vibe in the building. Friendly staff. Good local business. read more

This location is much better than the one they had a few years ago: better parking and a lot more seating. I've had a few of their sandwiches and they were all great. They are bit on the smaller side, so I usually come here when I want a lighter meal. Their soup and salad combos are good also, even if you just grab a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Their coffee is great as well. read more

Terrific maple scones here! (I love good scones with a hot, fresh cup of coffee, and Cafe Rosetta does both very well.) I love that local artists' work is on display here, as well. (Keep your dollars local, Copper Country!) The service I received was friendly and relatively fast. I plan to return on my next trip up to the U.P. read more

The food was really good and reasonably priced. Nice choices for lunch and breakfast. Breakfast is served all day too which is a bonus. Also one of the few places in the off season with a public restroom for their customers. read more

Cafe Rosetta - Breakfast Burrito. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Calumet, Michigan

Walked in here today. Windows all covered up, maskless staff, maskless undistanced patrons, a collection jar for their legal defense fund. Only to find out that they're operating without a license due to repeated infractions. Public health isnt a game. read more

They used to have great coffee and great prices. I've always loved their Chai Latte and oatmeal for breakfast. The service was usually good, people have bad days once and a while. fail to follow simple recommendations that will help keep the community safe. no precautions. They lost a long time customer. read more

No masks or any other precautions during COVID surge in our community. Left promptly and did not order anything as I was with my 70 year old mother. Very disappointing, food and coffee was enjoyable in the past. That said, I won't be back. If you want a safer experience just cross the street to Keweenaw Coffee Works. read more

I stopped into Cafe Rosetta with friend who is a pastry chef, so naturally we tried everything. I am not kidding, she ordered one of everything at their pastry counter. Despite Calumet being a small old timey town I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of gluten free options they offered. I think we ended up with more treats that were gluten free! I tried several items, including the molasses cookie, PB protein ball and the gluten free brownie. All three were delicious, but the molasses cookie was my favorite, with the brownie being a close second. The molasses cookie was so dense and chewy with incredible rich flavor. They also offer a full breakfast/brunch and lunch menu. We didn't order anything besides the pastries, but I would definitely go back to try their other food. We took our treats to go, but there was ample seating both inside and out. read more

This place is pretty awesome and the fact that it's nestled in the Yoop is even better. I feel like I am back in Vermont with a touch of U.P. when I am here. I can't express how much I love that they are opting for fresh, local ingredients, offering organic products and really just bringing it back to the basics. The Keweenaw needs more places like this. I have been here a couple of times and the product is A+, great coffee, excellent sandwiches (I personally love the roast beef with the horseradish mayo) and delightful sweets. The soups have impressed me each time and the bread is homemade, hallelujah! The atmosphere is quite nice and the decor makes the place homey. They have a decent amount of seating and the free wi-fi is a strong signal that makes this a great place for me to post up and get some work done on the computer. The music select is a nice mix, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, not too loud and not too quiet. Oh and I must say THE PRICE IS RIGHT, unbelievably reasonable! My one complaint is service related. I had great service today, a young gal took my order, was friendly and answered my questions pleasantly and I tipped her accordingly. The guy, a fuzzier looking dude has taken my order in the past and with one word responses made me feel as though maybe I didn't belong there. It's a shame, because today on my way out I said thank you and have a great day and got no response. I'm not asking for over the top gratitude, maybe just a smile? I'm hopeful that I've just coincidentally caught him on the wrong day, we all have bad ones and that that next year when I roll through he will prove me wrong. So one minor meh isn't going to stop me from coming and I certainly won't stop telling folks to check this place out. It's awesome, I love it and it should be loved by many because it would be amazing if more business's started incorporating fresh, local ingredients; it's great for the local economy and so good for the body and soul, not to mention it tastes so much better! Thank you Cafe Rosetta, the Keweenaw needed you badly and I hope that you are a trend-setter and others start to emulate your practices. read more

Wonderful gem! Fantastic coffee, fresh and healthy breakfast options. We had the breakfast burrito and bagel sandwich both were outstanding filled with wholesome ingredients. In addition, we shared a pannakakku. A Finnish pancake with berry topping. Great with the coffee. I wish this place were near me. I'd be a regular! read more

Fantastic cozy place tucked in to Calumet's reviving 5th St. My lady and I stopped in for a light lunch on a dreary and chilly early fall day. The half sandwich and cup of soup was exactly what we wanted. I had the Moroccan chickpea and turkey soup, and my wife enjoyed the vegan veggie chili (I liked mine better). The chicken salad sandwich was perfect...served on wonderful homemade bread! After shopping for some Northwoods gifts across the street at Copper World, we came back in for caffeinated hot beverages. My dirty Chai was delicious, although the milk could have stood for a bit more steam. I prefer my coffee a bit hotter. The wife thought the temp was perfect though. read more

Cafe Rosetta - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Calumet, Michigan

Great place in town for a latte or other coffee drink. The chicken salad sandwich was one of the best I've ever had--high quality. My family had the bagel sandwich, grilled cheese, and roast beef sandwich and all loved it. My son had the chocolate chip cookie and one of the best he's had. Think they can make the atmosphere a bit cozier; feels a bit austere for a coffee shop in such a historic town like Calimet. Only reason I did not give them a 5-star is the atnosphere. Love the location, right after a stop at the best museum and Copper World... read more

They cooked my eggs wrong. Staff went to play on his phone instead of paying attention to customers while busy. Baked goods are mediocre tasting and somewhat pricy. Place definitely has a hipster vibe which I'm not a fan of but might work better for others. Free Wifi and decently fast. Music playing isnt too loud or too quiet and is tasteful. Overall I don't get the buzz, mediocre tasting food, very bitter coffee. read more

My girlfriend and I were expecting a cute coffee shop with good coffee and food. What we got was a dull and unclean atmosphere. They use store bought guacamole for the avocado toast and their bread is not good. My girl friend also requested for a ice coffee and received a hot latte. read more

Came here several years ago(2016) and loved everything about the shop. Warm welcoming staff, good coffee, and good food. We came back recently and were really disappointed. The shop had changed the staff was not friendly and the food was okay. Frankly it went from a gem in the north to just another small town coffee show. read more

Things have changed here a bit since my visit two years ago. There are some pretty solid options here, especially for the immediate area. Some of the pastries have a MUCH too exaggerated sweetness for my taste. Difficult to find a place to sit every time I went. Not the most friendly or helpful staff. read more

Amazing little spot in downtown Calumet. They are doing a lot of things right. Had the maple pecan scone and it was by far the best scone I've ever had. They also have a decent number of GF options and some vegan items as well. Keep up the good work and next time we are in town, we will visit again. read more

This restaurant is currently operating without a license from the Michigan Health Department for not following safety rules. I would rather eat at a safe place that follows the health department safety standards. They also have customers that are open carrying long guns. No masks are worn by anyone and no social distancing is happening inside or out. read more

I ate at the Cafe Rosetta this past summer. The menu was not appealing to me but I managed to find a sandwich that I thought I would like. It was very dry. The bread was incredibly thick for how little was between the slices. It definitely comes off as more of a coffee shop than a place to have a meal. There are better options for coffee in the area. The atmosphere and decor was pleasant and the service was okay. From where I sat, I could see boxes of produce on the floor in the kitchen. The kitchen appeared to be quite small but storing food on the floor is not acceptable. They currently have an ongoing feud with the state of Michigan and the health department over restrictions put in place to protect public health. In light of that, it is no surprise to me that they would improperly store their food. I will not be going back. read more

Honestly loved the breakfast coffee was pretty good Enjoyed the custard like Finish Pancake Breakfast burrito and eggs and toast Bacon wasn't good but it was $1 House made bread was amazing with jam read more

My wife and I recently explored the Keweenaw and stubbled upon this place looking for breakfast and some coffee. When we walked in we noticed two things that maybe should have advised us to leave. 1. a very confusing sign about mask wearing and both individuals behind the counter not wearing masks properly or at all. But, we believe despite someone's personal opinions a business still deserves a shot. The longer we were there the worse it got. The person that took our order had her nose sticking out of her mask, the person making coffee was wearing her mask around her chin. After placing our order the person who took our order removed her mask and never put it back on. They both were less than friendly; not a single smile from any employee. We tried to be friendly and polite as we believe all people should be treated. As more customers came in we noticed we were the only ones using masks properly. It's not a large space social distancing was not a thing. Both employees and many customers were walking around freely without masks, the person who brought us our food from the kitchen had her mask around her chin. The entire time we were there no one cleaned or sanitized a single table. Now to the food and coffee. The coffee we got (mocha and traditional latte) were pretty good. No issues there. I ordered the breakfast special which was $10 for burnt scrambles eggs, underdone hash browns, two of the smallest pieces of bacon I've ever seen and stale toast. My suggestion...if you're in Calumet and you want a coffee place that cares that you are there, cares about you as a human being and cares about coffee go across the street. read more

I left before ordering. The employees at the counter weren't wearing masks. Customers in line weren't respecting social distance.

Amazing, homemade soups, bread, sandwiches and desserts. You cannot beat the Rosetta for a quick Americano, or breakfast or lunch with friends. Been there many times, and it is always a favorite because the food & coffee are consistently good, and they always have happy, helpful service staff. Highly recommended over fast food. read more

Great coffee. Great operation hours. Best service. Good, healthy food at reasonable prices. Great deserts. Fun location with outdoor seating. read more

Favorite coffee house in the UP. If I have a few extra hours, I will drive the half hour just to have breakfast or lunch here. The coffee is delish. Every single item I've ordered from the menu or the bakery case has been delightful. Presentation is on point. The staff is super friendly. The atmosphere is inviting and Clean. Local artists sell their wares here also. Which I find really cool. Each time I've gone in a new artist is being represented. read more
