This is quite the find, just down the street from my hotel. I travel extensively, and always use Yelp to find local take outs to try. Rosa's is a very small restaurant with a counter and some tables. The young lady behind the counter was very nice as well. I ordered the chopped steak plate for lunch and two beef tacos for dinner. All that and a bottle of coke was $20. The food was amazing! The chopped steak came with rice and beans and the tacos were authentic with limes and plenty of cilantro. Support this local business and you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

Rosa's Cafe is a quaint diner on 38th Ave serving Mexican and American breakfast and lunch favorites. The menu covers familiar ground and the prices are reasonable. I like the breakfast burrito with bacon, eggs, cheese, and home fries. Service is good and the food is filling. read more

One of my besties and I stumbled upon this hole-in-the wall cafe that serves Peruvian food! I got the Peruvian chicken with French fries and salad. The chicken was nice and moist - I usually don't eat white meat because it tends to get dry, but this one was juicy and delicious! Overall a very well balanced meal with the carbs and veggies. I had some to take home because the portions were huge! It's a quaint little cafe - you could see the kitchen and look at them make food in real time. Although most of the staff speaks Spanish, I had my trusty friend to translate for me. Even without speaking Spanish, I'm definitely sure they'll get your order right because they were so kind and accommodating. read more

Didn't want the free hotel breakfast and decided to try this place just down the street. This place serves a variety of items (American, Mexican, Peruvian) and makes fresh juices. I shared a breakfast burrito and an order of French toast with bacon (portion size of each was on the smaller side); however our appetites were satisfied without feeling stuffed. I will be back if I'm visiting again. read more

A Peruvian-style breakfast -we came here last week to try this little coffee shop out. Ros's is your standard cafe, pretty unremarkable for Long Island City, that serves your basic breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We ordered their turkey cheese omelet and a plain bagel, which was quite good. Our waitress was not fluent in English, so we had to point to things on the menu before we ordered. All in all a satisfactory experience! read more

I love Rosa's for a hearty and authentic Peruvian meal! The ambiance is very diner like, and they're really mainly open for breakfast and lunch. Service is kind, Rosa is from Peru and her ceviche truly shines! Perfect balance of citrus and a little bit of natural sweetness from the seafood! read more

I'm shocked about their prices. Really cheap and great amounts. I had a gyro platter for under $8.00. How is that even possible. I've had coffee here once or twice. It's your basic good coffee. But you just can't beat the prices. The service was very quick and it wasn't a long wait. The customer service is nice as well. Good job. read more

Love this little corner spot. The menu has an abundance of items to choose from. The burgers, Phillys, Cubans, burritos, all hit. The daily specials are all delicious as well! read more

We had a delicious breakfast there this morning. The portions were large. The prices were very reasonable. Our service was excellent. Highly recommend this cafe! read more

Wonderful find! We had the stew chicken and rice and beans. We also ordered fresh smoothies. The service is excellent and the owner came over to check on us. I asked if they have a certain Peruvian drink. She said she will get it in, so it would be there next time I come in. Very warm person-- you feel like you're a guest at someone's house with real home cooking! read more

Consistent good food. Wide variety always readily available. Fresh juices and smoothies at reasonable prices. Love their green homemade hot sauce. read more

The older woman here who I believe is the owner gives me a higher price compared to what her menu is. It's only by 2 dollars. She thinks she's slick but I am a gentlemen and won't say anything. It's not the best....but decent prices. read more

I got the French toast combo for breakfast it was good .I also ordered the chicken quesadilla and it was eh to me

Didn't expect it but, Rosa's Cafe was definitely wonderful. They have so many selections and prices are great. Pretty much every item that we have purchased was very fresh and flavorful. Staff was accommodating, helpful and friendly. My compliments to Rosa's Cafe it's a 10 star. read more

So there is absolutely nothing around where I live. I had to Yelp what was around or who delivers! Well, this little hole in the wall had decent reviews and I gave it a try. Prices are cheap, friendly and fast service. read more

Average deli food. This seemed to be the spot for every construction worker/ MTA employee in the area. Everything was fresh but very bland. The wait staff were great, friendly and quick. Would I make a point to go back, no. If I was in the area and needed a quick bite I may stop in again. read more

OMG, Rosa's Cafe was certainly outstanding. Can't wait to try every single thing off the menu here. They got a miraculous menu too. Workers are incredibly lovely and service is very fast. Fabulous place to visit with family, friends, and significant others. read more

Was in the mood for breakfast so we decided to try Rosa's Cafe. We ordered the toast, eggs, and potatoes and the pancakes, eggs and bacon. Both were pretty disappointing. The eggs were probably the best part of the dish. The pancakes looked like they were frozen. The condiments ketchup bottles look really old so we decided to eat our food without any sauce. We also ordered a passion fruit smoothie. This is the only reason why I would come recommend coming here with exception to the customer service. read more

Rosa & I go together like Lindsay Lohan and white illegal substances. Let's face it, I'm not really much of a morning person but the morning does become more tolerable when I've fueled up. Rosa's Coffee Shop is where I like to fuel up. I don't think my mornings would be the same if I didn't get a Bacon, Egg, & Cheese sandwich on a toasted plain bagel. It's a lovely, cozy, neighborhood shop that's lodged between many of the warehouses that seem to have taken up residence in LIC.The staff is very friendly and when you come there as often as I do, they'll know your order without you even parting your lips. Prices are your typical neighborhood prices and I like the fact that I have the option of using my debit card to pay for my meal. The minimum on debit/credit card purchases are $5, which can easily be spent here. America runs on Rosa, or at least my version of America does. read more

I was browsing some breakfast places and I saw Rosa's Cafe. I decided to give it a try based on the ratings. I ordered delivery. Delivery was fast. Food was fresh and hot when it arrived. The Veggie egg white omelet and home fries I ordered was great and had great flavor. They honored special requests which is what I call great customer service. I will definitely order here again and will recommend this place to everyone. read more

Rosa's is one of those local hidden gems that offers plenty of options despite the small appearance from outside. My husband and I got there for bagels. There was a customer in front of us who was a rather difficult customer. I was really impressed with Rosa and her friendly customer service towards this customer. You rarely see this in this day and age. There are several options I could have had for breakfast but settled for a sesame bagel with cream cheese and jelly. Sometimes, simple food is best. Awesome little place! read more

Rosa's is a super-friendly diner near all of the small hotels in Long Island City serving a wide variety of food, but specializes in homey Peruvian food. Everything is fresh and made to order, with the exception of the food that benefits from stewing for longer periods of time, such as the delicious Aji de Gallina, a stew consisting of tender stewed chicken, aji amarillo peppers, garlic, olives, potatoes, all on top of rice. In addition to serving great Peruvian food, Rosa's also juices a number of fresh fruit and vegetable juices at very reasonable prices. And of course, there's a menu full of diner favourites. One tip: the paper menu contains more (and better) options than the menu displayed above the counter. If you're staying in the area, I recommend Rosa's. read more

I will keep it short and simple. I did not like this place at all. My friend and I ordered scrambled eggs, ham, and potatoes and we both just picked at our food and we immediately asked for the check and left. The food did not taste good at all. It had no flavor. The ham tasted funny which made me think that if I were to eat it I would get sick. read more

Rosa's is a hidden neighborhood gem, tucked away on 38th Ave in that ambiguous Astoria/LIC zone. I happened to be driving around with a friend one day looking for parking, and we decided to grab some coffee and a bite here. Their coffee is awesome, and they have the best breakfast sandwiches - I'm jonesing for some fluffy egg whites just thinking about this place. All of the sandwiches have been consistently tasty, and my friend (said driving around friend, who now goes here all the time) raves about their heartier fare. We now make our other friends make coffee/breakfast sandwich runs here, too. #addiction These are the nicest people in the world, and it always makes me feel like I'm having food from my grandma's kitchen here. read more

Visited this location twice while vacationing. Super friendly service, fast and cheap. The food is DELICIOUS and tasted fresh. Highly recommend and will be coming back soon. read more

Great breakfast place, delicious eggs and french toast!! Very friendly waitress, we will be back!

Had bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel with a cappuccino. Everything was hot and fresh and tasty.. would definitely return!!

Food was delish it was over priced for what I recieved and came out very fast the lady that took my order was obviously the owner but she was very nice and new I hadn't been there before read more

We needed to get a quick bite around here and I was happy to find this coffee shop. But it's so much more than just a coffee shop. Breakfast specials and juices are great, and staff. Menu also includes burgers, and even Peruvian food. read more

I had chicken quesadillas with a side salad and iced coffee from here. Everything was exquisite! It was fairly priced, very fresh and authentic food, and very filling. The customer service and location was good as well. read more

Nice place ... nothing fancy but good. Had spinach omelet.the home fries was littlE dry. Close to my house so will come back again.

I'm in Queens for work and stopped into this cafe twice. Both times the food was hot, the OJ fresh, and the service quick and friendly. Small, locally run businesses that are as good as Rosa's deserve our support. Skip the big chains and check this place out! read more

It started off well enough. I decided to treat myself to a greek omelet for breakfast. I ordered from Rosa's Cafe through Seamless. Rosa called me to confirm my order. She seemed very nice and had a great disposition on the phone. When I received my order the container was crushed leaving half of it open. My omelet was cold. The lesson I learned: Always ask what the restaurant that you are ordering from what they consider to be a Greek Omelet. My omelet consisted of feta cheese and tomatoes. I have never had one without either spinach or olives in it. Overall I am disappointed in my first experience with Rosa's Cafe. read more

Delicious home cooked breakfast. The potatoes with fresh onions and peppers were great. Also fresh OJ. Happy to support local family business! read more

Nice neighborhood breakfast spot. Good empanadas and breakfast in general. Very affordable. Fast delivery is a plus!

Great prices and friendly customer service. Their breakfast sandwiches and coffee are delicious. Highly recommended.

Had the spaghetti with chicken (Peruvian style). Delicious but half an hour after I ordered, they realized no one was making my food. And the boss who knew I ordered was sitting at the register across from me the whole time and didn't think to check with the cook. And no apology or recognition in anyform that they messed up. Poor customer service but the food delightful. read more

If I could give zero stars to this place I would. Hate to have to be "this person" and leave this place a horrible review. But this place deserves it. I am a huge advocate for mom and pop businesses but I am also part of a Forbes recognized multi million dollar company, known for our customer service. My order was done through Grubhub, and this location has their own delivery guy to deliver their food through the app. My order was 40 minutes late and obviously cold upon arrival, because the delivery guy went to 41 Street, even though it clearly says 41st Ave. Then once he arrives in the lobby of my hotel, proceeds to tell me I plugged in the wrong address and now his other deliveries are going to be all late because of me. FYI the ST stands for first not Street you idiot, being there's an AVE right next to it. And trust me ladies and gentlemen, there was NO language barrier. Horrible service both through the delivery as well as the women who I dealt with over the phone at this location, who were ABSOLUTELY useless and rude. Hope they can get it together for future customers. read more

Working remotely (basically out of your car) can be tricky (think bathroom breaks), so I typically look for places to have a quick bite while I prepare for my day/start working. This neighborhood spot is extremely welcoming and feels like a Tia (aunt) is taking care of you. There's plenty of seating on one half of this awesome place and a diner-feeling counter where you can place your order on the other, but you can also order at the tables. You can smell the delicious food being prepared to order (fresh) as you walk up to the place. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese and bacon (don't knock it till you've tried it) with a strawberry and blueberry smoothie. My whole bill came out to under $10!!!! They even brought it all to my table as it was ready. I went to the restroom and came back to my bagel also on the table! I also was able to use their WiFi which was a HUGE plus! Initially I wasn't able to log in (I kept putting it in wrong) but the girl came all the way over to where I was sitting to help me and it worked. Their bathroom was clean and tidy. Over all, the service, cleanliness and atmosphere are all top notch. I will definitely be back and look forward to becoming a regular. Thank you!!! read more

Stopped in for lunch on my last day in NYC before going to the air port. Best Cuban sandwich I have ever had. Sad I did not find it sooner The look of the place is not the best let the food speak for itself. read more
