It's a cute, clean coffee shop with plenty of seating both indoors and outside. Most customers seemed to be grabbing their coffee to go, but there's a nice, relaxed atmosphere if you want to sit and enjoy your drink. I ordered the Coconut Mocha Latte, and my daughter had the Caramel Sweet Cream Cold Brew Latte. Both drinks were delicious and, thankfully, not overly sweet. The flavors were just right and the coffee was well balanced. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the shop itself was bright, cute, and clean. Definitely a great little coffee spot if you're in the Corona del Mar area!

Food options include acai and pastries, they also have some pressed juices and smoothies. They use a combination on monin, Torani, and housemate syrups.

Upon walking in, the barista was friendly and open to answering any and all questions. Ambiance was also great and fit the name of the cafe and its vibes. For the drinks, we got an iced toffee latte and the kepania, which is their version of a spanish latte. I liked the toffee latte more cause it had bits of toffee in it but I also liked the spanish latte as it tasted lighter than the toffee latte. It gave the drinks more of a balance when I started taking sips from both of them. I do really like how the top layer of the lattes were blue, which gives off a great aesthetic. The only downside for me was that the toffee latte lost a good amount of its flavor after some of the ice melted-- some cafes still have a strong coffee taste even after the ice melts & that's usually what I like as far as preference. As for the sunbliss blend smoothie, it definitely had that taste of the 100% real fruit in it and was a refreshing drink to sip on when I walked at the beach. It's a plus for this cafe for having plenty of options between drinks and bites!

It was delicious and we got the chocolate muffin very good as well and not too sweet. The deserts tasted homemade. The service was quick and she helped us decide. The color aesthetic reminds me of a Tiffany blue. I love that they also have seating outdoor as well. The sunset view was beautiful as we were leaving. There is also WiFi and bathrooms so we were able to really relax after being out in the sun. They have a small parking lot behind the building as well as street parking.

I will overlook the almost $9/ea price for the Paleo cookie bc it's so delish...but why aren't the cookies in stock?? I came on the weekend morning and they had literally 2 s'mores cookies in their sad, empty baked goods case. They said, we get fresh baked cookies on Mondays and Thursday. I came back on Monday. Again, almost empty bakery case and no paleo cookies. Then I'm told they are out of an ingredient for the paleo cookies. They have no idea when they will have the ingredients or the cookies again. They call themselves the "Cookie Lab", but they have only a half-dozen cookies TOTAL for sale on any given morning. Booooooo! If you want to be a cookie dealer, get some cookie stock.

I had a break in my workweek so I hopped a ride to the Island to explore- walked down Marine and then headed here for solo lunch- I'm so glad I did! When you only have a 3 hour window on your work trip, you want to make it count ;) The ceviche and spicy margarita were fantastic (see pic) - I sat outside and then walked down the block to the ferry (for $4 you can ride across the inlet to the pier and back in just a few minutes) Todos Santos really made my week!

It felt like an English muffin with more pillowy thickness. The COFFEE and KNOCK KNOCK FLIGHT is a must. Each flavor is unique and delicious! I expected a sugar overload with random coffee pairings but the thoughtfulness behind the flight is appreciated. The drinks were different types of espresso to milk ratios with little to no sweetness to balance out each flavor of knock knock! I don't want to spoil it but this spot is not just popular for its prime location and its knock knocks should be famous cause I will be back at their front door.

We grabbed some cinnamon rolls to go which we'll have tomorrow morning. They look and smell amazing. This place is worth a visit!

Parking can be a little tricky depending on the day because of street sweeping, so keep that in mind. The café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice option. It can get pretty busy inside since it's counter-service and the dining area is on the smaller side. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the service was friendly with smiles all around. There were three of us in our party--my mother, my grandson, and me. My mother ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, I had the California breakfast burrito, and my grandson ordered the Rose Benedict with the hollandaise sauce on the side. The portions were fair and satisfying, leaving everyone happy with their meal. If you're in the Corona del Mar area and looking for a quick breakfast, brunch, or snack, I definitely recommend giving Rose Café & Bakery a try. It's a charming neighborhood café with great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

The ONLY reason I give this 4 stars is because it is a NIGHTMARE trying to park and/or eat here on weekends. Long wait and it's a pain to try and order inside because it's packed to the brim. If you want to order take out though i think that's a slightly better option during busy hours since there's a kiosk outside that you can order from.

Overall I was happy with my food. Although, I don't think I will be coming back here for the Cheesesteak.

Also not their fault but navigating leads you to a sus parking lot where you have to walk through their alley of tables to go all the way to the front. also where you order is in a horrible spot. you have to line up in a cramped area yo order. squeezing past people who already ordered to get to the register is not a welcoming vibe. the saving grace is the rustic aesthetic is great. also the coffee is pretty good. if you can get past the experience but getting your coffee in hand, it will be worth it.

We got three sandwiches, two pastries, a coffee, smoothie and their wellness shots. The establishment was bright, clean and welcoming. I love the pops of pink everywhere. Jamie said the bread and pastries were imported from Denmark and everything was delicious. It's almost like a flatbread that holds its crisp, all without hurting the roof of your mouth. We got a spicy caesar, tunacado, and the steak. All sandwiches had fresh ingredients but the steak was my absolute favorite. I got the trust your gut smoothie, and it tasted good. The turmeric shot with extra ginger went down really smooth. The banana bread was delicious but the carrot cake was even better. I was overly impressed by this place, easy to find in the mall, welcoming staff, clean establishment and food were good and easy to enjoy at the beach, I can't wait to go try other flavors of smoothies and sandwiches. Can we also talk about how cute and practical their packaging is?!

I really like the thinness of the pita bread and the spicy peppers made the whole sandwich. Great flavors. $12.50 for just a sandwich is a little high but comparable these days sadly. My friend enjoyed her Prosciutto sandwich as well. However as the matcha and smoothie, they said both were bland. They couldn't taste any flavors. So I'd probably skip on those, even though it's a juice place. SYOY!
