Cute, tasty, and a fun atmosphere, what more can a girl ask for? We spent our Mother's Day here and it was special. The food options are limited and there was no chicken for the salad however the experience was fun and I'd come back. Definitely a place to try! The food was good and the staff were so kind and helpful! read more

first of all - this is the cutest little coffee shop i have ever seen. my daughters favorite color is pink so i told her to put on something pink and we decided to go check it out. the menu is limited/pricey and not a lot to choose from but it made her soo happy. i do like their new lavender lemonade that i tried during the taste of la mesa - but i was pretty bummed you had to choose between that or the matcha :( however, im excited to see where there next location is and if they are expanding the menu! read more

We recently visited Pink Rose Cafe for the first time, and it was such a cute experience--especially because my daughter specifically asked to go to an all-pink café and was so excited about it. The vibe is definitely part of the charm. Inside, it's on the smaller side, but they've put so much thought into the decor. It has this vintage, feminine, all-pink aesthetic that feels really intentional and pretty. It's one of those places that's just fun to look at and be in. I ordered a coconut matcha, and it was honestly so good--definitely something I'd go back for. My kids got an ice cream sundae, and they loved it too, so that was a win all around. They also have outdoor seating, which is where we ended up sitting since the weather's been so nice lately. I will say, it did get pretty warm inside and didn't seem like there was much AC, so sitting outside felt like the better option. The service was great--they bring everything out to you, which I always appreciate, especially when I'm with my kids. It made the whole experience feel more relaxed. Another little bonus is the area itself--the street is super cute, with a few other small shops nearby, so it's nice for walking around before or after. Overall, it's a really sweet spot with good drinks, a fun aesthetic, and a great little outing--especially if you have kids read more

Pink Rose Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Mesa, California

This place has been on my list for a long time, and I finally got a chance to check it out. I love the concept, the all-pink, rosy aesthetic is super cute and definitely eye-catching. The service, however, was a bit hit or miss. One of the staff members was incredibly sweet and did a fantastic job, while the other wasn't very welcoming, which affected the overall experience. I ordered the avocado bagel on an everything bagel, and it was absolutely delicious. I also felt the bagel was fairly and reasonably priced. On the other hand, I tried the pink rosy lemonade after asking for a staff recommendation, and it was quite disappointing. It tasted like overly sweet, pink-colored sugar water and felt very overpriced for what it was. I really hope they reconsider their pricing on drinks to better match the quality. read more

Ignoring the cuteness, the experiences I've had here, maybe a half-dozen times, are just middling. The coffee drinks are ok but they offer only 16 oz sizes for things like cappuccino, and I don't think there is any option for a non-cardboard cup. While I've never tried any of the food items like waffles, I am usually looking for a pastry of some type, and there is usually very little on offer. I assume it is better in the early morning but that isn't when I go. Today there was just two slices of a coffee cake, which my wife said was very dry and tasteless. I agree with Dana R., it feels like they went all in on theme and phoned the rest in. They have added some outside tables. The chairs on the inside tables are slightly low and hard to get out of if you are older. read more

Me and my grandma called ahead and asked if we needed to make reservations on our way there and they said nope they had room for two, but failed to mention that they were out of food! They told us that when we got there and said they could only serve drinks because they were out of everything. We were shocked because how could a restaurant be out of all ingredients two hours before closing time? Their presentation and enthusiasm sucked and it felt very unwelcoming, like they just wanted us to leave and when we did they acted like they were closing! What topped all of this was that the customers before us, which where only two tiny groups, all had food and it looked like they only got there about five minutes before us. Over all I wouldn't go back there again, there were a lot of other cool places around it and it just wasn't really worth it. read more

The Pink Rose Cafe definitely lives up to its name! This cafe is small but super cute and aesthetically pleasing! The inside has lots of pink and also has 2 flower walls that are perfect for cute photo ops. There are about 7 tables inside and 2 outside as well. It was a little lonesome when I got there, and the staff didn't really offer any suggestions or greetings. I ordered an iced raspberry white mocha, which was delicious! It also had a good kick of caffeine that kept me going through my day. I wasn't able to grab any food to try since I was parked at the 5min parking spot out front and didn't want to risk a ticket and also didn't want to pay for parking. I definitely want to come back another day to try their food and other drinks, too. read more

Stopped by Pink Rose Cafe this morning and spent about $15 on two drinks: an espresso cortado and the French Kiss.First impressions, the café itself is very cute and definitely leans hard into the floral aesthetic, which makes it visually appealing and Instagram-friendly. The French Kiss tasted watered down, and I honestly couldn't taste the espresso at all. I even asked for an extra shot with oat milk, but it ended up tasting more like diluted sugar than coffee. It was pretty disappointing.The espresso cortado was basically just straight espresso. I requested almond milk, but I couldn't really tell if anything had been added. I may stop by again during the week to give it another chance, since the space itself is very cute and an excellent little cafe to sit and talk with friends. read more

Incredibly cute store with great drinks! The inside is FILLED with pink; pink walls, pink roses on the wall, and super cute chandeliers and decor. I got a matcha latte (part of their summer series) and it was delicious.

This is a super cute spot located in downtown La Mesa and I'm so glad I finally checked it out. It's a little tiny, with limited seating inside and outside. Decor is gorgeous, soft and welcoming. I could see this being a spot that attracts people for photos for sure. I thought it was just a coffee shop but they actually have a full menu too. Our coffee was good, nothing special but fresh and we enjoyed them. The avocado toast was basic, the bread was very fresh and it came as a single slice. Since it was very basic and only one slice, I think it was over priced. We also got a scoop of strawberry ice cream which was really good. We sat outside which was beautiful and peaceful. There is street parking, some metered. Ambiance and service was great, food/drinks were good, pricing was a little high for what you get but all in all, I liked the cafe. read more

When it comes to presentation and ambience the Pink Rose Cafe has it covered. It is super cute and went all in on theme. But it's like that's where they stopped and phoned the rest in. My friend and I met for breakfast and a time to catch up. We were one of two parties there. We had a lot of catching up to do so I was a little happy that they weren't super busy or I would've felt rushed to leave. We both had the açaí bowls which were beautiful and tasted great. She had a matcha drink that was cute. I didn't taste it. I had the shaken brown sugar latte. It was okay. Initially I wanted a pastry but they looked like Costco muffins and pastries, but more expensive. Seemed a little old. One of the tables near us got the strawberry waffle and it was really pretty. Later, another got a bagel sandwich which looked tasty. Might give it another try with my daughters and hit the meet cute book shop a few doors down. read more

We really wanted to like this place...came here with my sister in law, we both order the breakfast bagel which is $10.99 kind of steep then an additional $1.99 for added protein. For what that price we expected something a bit more than the small bagel we received. Also ordered a vanilla latte and a matcha frap which were okay. This cafe is cute and is great for photos but I would pass considering the prices an okay coffee. read more

Notice how this coffee shop is very cutesy.. very demure. The baristas.. very mindful of making your order The aesthetic is a whole vibe. Here for it. Stopped by mid morning / afternoon. Ordered a hot Mexican mocha and Iced Brown Sugar Espresso , alongside Pink Rose Waffles. All 3 items were perfect, waffles surprisingly not as sweet as I anticipated. Would order all 3 again. My only mistake was not getting a bigger espresso. Baristas all super friendly! As it was our first time, helped decide on an order. They offer a variety of milk substitutes for the caffeinated drinks. Will probably try pastries at the next go. Will be back for more.. be ready to take pics in their flower wall. read more

Second time coming here and it was great. The esthetic is so cute and definitely girly. It was pretty busy but expected because it's the weekend and around Christmas so that's just a bad combo lol. But the girl who took my order was lovely and very attentive and kept acknowledging I was waiting for my order which was nice. I tried the avocado toast and it was delicious. They did not skimp on the avocado. For coffee I tried the seasonal pumpkin spice matcha with oat milk. Very yummy. Overall great experience and I'll love to come back to eat more avocado toast. read more

Cute place obviously, which is the main reason most people go here. I got a coffee here for the first time today and felt like I was bothering the staff. I waited at the counter patiently, as they seemed like they were struggling to keep up. I placed my order which I had to repeat twice then my drink was given to a man named Andy, because the girl that took my name didn't pay attention when I gave my name. The coffee itself was good, but I likely won't be back due to the customer service. read more

I was actually going to Downtown La Mesa to pick up a book from Meet Cute and came across Pink Rose Cafe. I had seen their account on Instagram a couple of times but never knew where they were located so it was so excited when I was walking by. It is extremely cute and aesthetically pleasing, their walls are laid out with beautiful fake flowers and in front of their cafe is a clothing rack and bike with the cutest dresses! I almost bought a dress but they didn't have it in my size and for the quality of the fabric and the cost it was really reasonable. I ended up getting an iced horchata matcha, they were really busy inside and a lot of people with really cute drinks and food. I'll definitely have to come back to try food food or a pastry. We waited outside and when my drink came I was so stoked. the horchata flavor with the matcha was nice, it wasn't too over powering in my opinion and was actually needed for how hot the day was becoming. Would come back if their matcha is that good, I bet their food is just as tasty. read more

Visited this neighborhood spot a while ago on a Sunday afternoon. The vibe and overall aesthetic of this cafe stands out from its many competitors down La Mesa blvd. It is definitely cute and it provides lots of instagrammable photos. However, their drinks and food is incredibly underwhelming. We had waffles with fruit and cream on top, and it tasted like something I could have made at home. The waffle tasted like frozen Eggo popped into the toaster. There wasn't anything about their offerings that impressed me so I haven't been back for another visit since. I hope they can work on the taste and quality of their food! read more

I have been here two different times and I have a few comments. First of all the place is so cute!! The food and drinks are great quality and the service is amazing.

Pink Rose Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - La Mesa, California

Very cute little coffee shop right in downtown La Mesa. The inside and outside are very cutesy and the whole cafe is overall very "instagram-able". An iced latte with oat milk will run you about $8 so it's not an everyday visit for me, but it's a fun stop every once in a while. Wouldn't say the food or drinks are out of this world, but again, unique ambiance. It can get busy so service sometimes is a little slow. As for parking, I can typically find a parking spot on the street! read more

We stopped by to try their matcha drinks. Both drinks we ordered were good, only suggestion would be to not add the straws without asking it makes it hard to mix the drinks well once the straws are inside. We also got the donuts, which we were pleasantly surprised by. The location is rather on the smaller side, it was a busy Saturday morning so we decided to sit outside and wait for our items. It's a little on the pricier side but you're paying for the pink experience, which is definitely a great place for photos and brunch with friends. read more

Perfect super cute spot for a girls breakfast, brunch or just sit and sip lattes. The iced lavender latte was my favorite. I requested to add lavender cold foam and cotton candy.

There's meter parking available. read more

The ambiance of the cafe is nice. I ordered 2 cotton candy lemonades. The cotton candy wasn't what I expected it looked like they just ripped it from a bag of store bought cotton candy and put it around the straw. It wasn't fluffy at all and seemed a bit stale. The girl at the counter wasn't very knowledgeable of the menu either when asked what comes in the drinks. The lemonade had very little ice, it was warm until about half way through, and had no flavor tasted watered down, I got 2 different ones and both tasted the same basically like water you wouldn't be able to tell the difference if you were blindfolded. The bagels are yummy though toppings were well balanced. read more

This was in my list for so long just because of the cute factor. There was no other customer than me when I visited and no welcoming, just taking my order. All the pastries were gone so only ordered a cappuccino that was ok. Maybe because I went during a time where I could see the fake flowers in full splendor I asked myself what the heck I was doing in such a tacky place. Suddenly the plastic flowers remembered me the ones you put in the cemeteries. Maybe I got already tired of the Barbie pink phase. I liked the outdoor seating more. read more

Such a cute place, I'd love to come again if I'm in town again! read more

Cute pink place full of roses and pink. Had a cup an expensive cup of coffee and an expensive "panini" I wanted to try this place since a little while ago. Finally got the chance and I liked the ambiance. Service was okay. For a cute looking place, I was surprised when my expensive cup of coffee didn't come in a China cup but a cupboard one. Sandwich was very expensive for what you get, a piece of cold cut, 4 slices of red bell pepper... Anyway, glad I tried it out, but don't think I am coming back. But, if you find yourself in the area, try them out and let me know your experience. Happy meals! read more

Very very pink! Was invited to try this cafe. Nice and accommodating staff. The decor is definitely pink, with a theme and interactive decor. However the drinks lack the hype. First I ordered rose milk tea which tasted like pure chemical syrup. Whatever rose matcha product or recipe used is not good. I have had this drink at many other places and this was the worst rendition. Please update the recipe but the regular matcha oat latte was decent. The staff was accommodating and swapped drink option. Furthermore, the pecan bar reminded me of pecan pie. They warmed the pecan bar which tasted like home. I enjoyed it better than the drinks. Otherwise, definitely film content here. Lastly, don't let my experience sour a visit. Visit and support local small businesses. read more

It was my second time coming here. First time on a Sunday. Second time on a Friday. Both times between 10am and 2pm. There are a couple of things that remained the same. The staff were lovely both times and super patient as I mulled over the menu. I asked several questions to find out what I wanted that day. I have had the signature Rose coffee and the Churros White Chocolate coffee. The aromas in the place was lovely. It lured me much more than the pink decor. The ambience, obviously, was instagram worthy. Even tho I don't have instagram, I contemplated getting one in the moment just to be able to post. Parking was atrocious. There's too many businesses and not enough places to park unfortunately. On the days where it's gorgeous out, and you don't mind walking a few blocks, there's a lot of parking in the neighborhood. But for anyone with mobility issues, it might be a struggle. The drinks were simply okay. I wasn't blown away by them. I was expecting a little more for my buck. But it was a lovely size drink so that balances it out. Don't expect to come during rush hour and find seats. It's not a ton of seating. It's not a big space in general. There's a handful of seats outside - half of which are covered with an umbrella, the other half isn't. All in all. The drinks were a 3 star. The breakfast was a 3.5. But the ambience and staff were a 4 star. So I'll round up and give this place a 4 star! read more

Second time coming to this coffee shop and loved it both times. Love the area it is located in. There are thrift shops in the same block and across the street so I always grab a coffee and then go thrifting! The aesthetic of the coffee shop is so beautiful and perfect for a great IG moment. In addition, love that they have staple drinks and seasonal drinks. I always like trying something in the seasonal menu. It hasn't been disappointing thus far. Customer service has been good as well. I'd come back and highly recommend it. Go check it out and thank me laters 10/10 read more
