I appreciate the different flavors and food options from season to season, but I must say I was sad that there was no pumpkin muffins this time around! Instead I ordered the banana muffin, which wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped and was a bit dry. The staff here is always friendly and efficient, and I love the decorations in this cafe. The wall with all the vintage drawings on it is so fascinating! I also had an iced latte this visit which was quite good. I am looking forward to my next visit!

The server - Landon - was very professional and detail oriented when discussing specials and items on the menu. Had the scallops and they were delicious. The lamb dish was also very flavorful. Ended the meal with a well made espresso martini. The dessert options did not really appeal to us, so we did not partake. The restaurant is modern with a slice of steampunk with pulleys they suspend the lighting.

Name just called, so 49 minutes of waiting. I've been in before- back during the bread shortage of December '25 when the bread truck broke down. 3 staff and only soup available. The manager and staff were incredible during the bread shortage. Steady but sure in pace. Recognizing that people may become frustrated, I was impressed by the manager, who offered me a cookie! Tonight? No manager that I could see. Well, it's snowing, so maybe everyone has "go slow because there's snow", but I doubt it. It's Wisconsin. We're used to snow. The ambience, I can describe, is watching slow motion in action. I've got to give some credit for credit's sake. It's difficult to manage and sustain the ability to move this slowly. When in house eaters have finished their dinners and ask me, as they walk to the doors, if I'm still waiting, one knows it's something to behold. It really is quite something to watch! With a turnover rate of less than 3 months for the average worker, it must be something of a requirement for those who like to snicker. I definitely recommend this restaurant for individuals who wish to enhance their ability for patience and calm in a chain known to be faster than a 5 star restaurant -but only by a small margin. Overall, I'll continue eating here because I like to be gouged on the price of soup and because I'm too lazy to cook. Plus, I've gotta admit it's great therapy; enhancing one's calm. Oh, no, they forgot my cookie!

So happy I decided to stop into this cute little restaurant while I was out on the road…read more To start a disclaimer!! THEY ONLY TAKE CASH. They do have a ATM inside for a 2$ fee which was a tad annoying but it is what it is. After coming in I was quickly sat by a very friendly waitress and she quickly took my order. The food came out pretty quick and it was delicious.. the bacon was probably some of the best restaurant bacon I've ever had, the 6 oz steak was well seasoned and tasted great. Their homemade/sliced potatoes were yummy and crispy. Overall I'd give this place a 5/5 with the only gripe being the cash / atm. I'll be back for sure if I'm in the area!

It's the kind of place that doesn't just serve food, it serves belonging. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm "Good morning, hon!" and my friend had a coffee that could wake the dead (or at least a sleep-deprived newcomer). The décor is charmingly vintage, like your grandma's kitchen met a roadside diner and they decided to raise pancakes together. I ordered the chicken sandwich for breakfast! Don't judge it's a thing. because I didn't know what I was doing, and wow--turns out Rosie knows exactly what I needed. It wasn't fancy, but it was perfect. The staff made me feel like I'd been coming there for years. They joked, they chatted, they refilled my soda before I even realized I needed it. It was the kind of kindness that makes a city feel like home. Rosie's isn't just a café--it's a welcome mat with syrup on top. If you're new to La Crosse, start here. You'll leave full, caffeinated, and smiling.

Service was a bit slow and our kids kept asking when the food would get there. I had to keep reminding them they were busy. They stayed busy playing the free pacman game in the back. Love that it was free. The restaurant itself has so much more potential with the 80s vibe than what they had. It was a bit rundown but overall fun to tell my kids about. They had some where's Waldo prints in each booth and some 80s trivia cards. The food itself was average. Nothing spectacular but decent. I had the pancakes with the yogurt. Kids had waffles and bacon.
