The steak burrito here was not only made very quickly but it's absolutely top 3 best breakfast burritos I've had! I flew in from LAX to SFO this morning and was looking for a quick breakfast as I drove into San Jose and am SO glad I found Rose Cafe. If you are a breakfast burrito fanatic, definitely stop in and try this one. The service was so quick and friendly. Spacious and quiet cafe at 10am on a Saturday. read more

Rose Cafe & Donuts - #0. Steak Burrito - Donuts Near Me - San Jose, California

I visited at 10 AM on a Saturday and the cafe was filled with families but not overly busy. The cafe felt very homey and the service was great- the workers were attentive and noticed I was cold so they closed the door for me (without needing to ask). The prices here are really good for the quality! My partner and I shared most of our stuff. What we ordered: - Orange Juice: Has pulp, but tasted really good and seems like it was freshly squeezed. Def a perfect combo with the burritos or breakfast plates. - Fruits: The fruit cup had a great variety of strawberries, melons, cantaloupe, and green/red grapes. Fresh and sweet! - Steak Burrito: Honestly the best burrito out of the three options! Great price for steak and very filling. Lots of texture from the steak and hash browns. Pairing this with the salsa was really good. - Breakfast Burrito: This one's a bit more heavier (and saltier) from all the meats (bacon, sausage, and ham). This burrito is great for anyone who wants a heftier or meatier breakfast. I think this would be great to pair with ketchup! - Veggie Burrito: I enjoyed the crunchiness from the bell peppers and hash browns in this burrito. I liked this one since it was more refreshing and felt more nutritious. I saw a few gigantic donuts on display which looked really good. I think I'd get one the next time I visit! read more

I have been going to Rose Cafe for years and when people say this is the best breakfast burrito in town, believe them. The steak burrito is an absolute must -- the steak is well marinated, and the salsa that is paired with it tastes fresh every time. Keep in mind they are cash only and the service can be a little slow but definitely worth it if you're looking for a simple but satisfying breakfast burrito. read more

Amazing food, good service and very comfortable cozy place to come and eat and enjoy a nice brunch or if you want lunch. I had the pleasure of working next door at my previous job. An had tired many items an didn't get the chance to photograph all but the options are great an have plant to choose from. Plus I have to say the Breakfast Burritos are read more

If you live in the bay and haven't eaten here before then you're living here wrong! Rose Cafe offers all the breakfast options, omelettes, wraps, salads, sandwiches, and coffee, but what sincerely stands out are their burritos. Their breakfast burrito is an absolute must try. Their breakfast burrito comes with scrambled eggs, hash browns, ham, bacon, sausage, cheese, and their homemade salsa on the side. You would think with all these meats and fried foods that it would be oily, but theirs isn't oil heavy at all. Their burritos are easy to eat yet give such a satisfying American breakfast palate. Their homemade salsa is also something else, and I would describe it as having a slightly sweet taste. It isn't sour or heavy at all. The next time you're hungry for breakfast or brunch, definitely give this place a try! read more

I ordered the veggie burrito for $12.75. I think overall it's a great breakfast burrito. The two negatives I will say would be the eggs are leaning towards to rubbery side and the burrito is way too oily. I love the onions and the avocado. Good price considering breakfast burritos can be up to $20 nowadays. Rose Cafe has been around for so long. I remember eating here in high school and the taste is pretty much the same. They also sell donuts. I've tried the cinnamon twist and apple fritter. They're not the best donuts in the world but they are still pretty good. Service is always fast. Quite a bit of seating which is nice. read more

The good: I came here with a friend based on her friend's recommendation for the breakfast burritos and it didn't disappoint! I am normally not a huge breakfast burrito person but this was really enjoyable because of the crunchy bits inside. My kids also enjoyed the chocolate with sprinkles donuts. The interior is spacious and clean. The food was served quickly. It's a simple and no frills spot. The soda machines are self-serve. The interior was much larger than I expected for a typical donut spot. The bad: My kids made a mess eating the donuts there. The interesting: They do have giant donuts. They've possibly been around for a few decades and I have been around for that amount of time too in this area but never knew about this spot! read more

Restaurant located in the corner of a plaza. Very spacious interior and fast service even with a small crowd. Little to no wait on a weekend morning. Pictured: breakfast burrito. A staple item here filled with eggs, hashbrown, ham, bacon, sausage and cheese. Ask for the homemade salsa on the side that adds more flavor and acidity to the burrito. The hashbrown texture is elite and just an overall breakfast burrito that can't be done wrong. A little bit on the pricer side compared to the size but delicious nonetheless. 8/10 will come from time to time! read more

Quick & affordable breakfast/lunch spot. All of our items came out within 10 mins. I tried the Avocado Chicken Salad Wrap & Steak burrito and both were yummy but nothing to write home about. All the prices were around $10-12 per item making it very reasonable. Their menu consisted of burritos, burgers, salads, and wraps. Casual grab & go spot with the option of seating inside. read more

2 stars for the burrito, 5 stars for donuts and service My boyfriend and I were on a quest to find the best breakfast burrito in the area, and Rose Cafe came up on a lot of lists, so it was the first place we tried. The steak burrito seemed to be a top recommendation, so we got one of those and one veggie. The breakfast burritos here were seriously disappointing. If I had been mentally prepared for a Korean burrito, I might have liked the steak burrito, but I was expecting Mexican flavors and got a sweet bulgogi-type beef in the burrito. As others have mentioned, the salsa is sweet and not spicy. It was overall just not what we were looking for. The veggie burrito was fine, on par with what you might expect from Whole Foods or something, certainly not worth a special trip. On the plus side, prices were reasonable, portions were generous, and service was insanely fast. The donuts all looked really good, and my buttermilk bar was phenomenal. Coffee was decent. If I lived nearby, I'd probably come here frequently for donuts and coffee. read more

Should not use word cafe when your utensils are plastic your syrup is in a pod Their donuts look good but the French toast was thin and rubbery Will not come back read more

It's the best breakfast burrito in the South Bay by far, been going to it since 2013-2014 and when it was at its previous location closer to Westgate. So apparently it's the best, but I'm only giving it 3 stars. Why? They really skimp out and you feel like you're barely getting anything. Just like other reviews have already mentioned, not a lot of cheese, the amount of salsa you get is laughable. There's no denying that it's still tasty, their hash browns are so crispy, all the flavors are distinct and there. There is nothing gratuitous about it though. When you've had breakfast burritos from LA which are top notch, you're left wanting a lot more from this place. read more

Our go to spot, breakfast burritos are so good but you can't go wrong with anything. Picking up to go is seamless but there's plenty of seating if you want to eat there. Staff is so friendly and make it such a welcoming local spot read more

I went here on a Sunday around noon and there was no line. I definitely wanted to try the breakfast burrito because I was craving a breakfast burrito and I had seen pictures on Yelp. so I got the breakfast burrito with no cheese and no ham because I wasn't in the mood for ham. I love that it has hashbrowns in it. The bacon was a little bit too crispy for me, but not a big deal. I absolutely love the fresh salsa they give on the side. I did not expect it but it's such a nice touch. The parking lot is kind of small, but I was able to park next to the Wendy's. actually there might've been more room in the back part but not sure. The place is pretty spacious. I would definitely come back here again. read more

Service and food was great! Actually got a baker's dozen when I bought a dozen donuts!

I've been coming to Rose cafe for years and I gotta say the quality of food hasn't changed. From their donuts to their breakfast burritos everything hits so hard. Staff is always welcoming when you walk in and when you order. This place used to be cash only but I recently discovered they take card which is an absolute game changer. It's not a bougie spot but more of a mom and pop breakfast place. If you're ever craving donuts or breakfast or just something quick to eat this is your spot to go to! read more

Located in parking lot shared with Wendy's. Only 4 donuts were left when we came around 1pm on a Sunday (see pic), but I mostly came for the breakfast burritos so it was all good. Would definitely recommend coming earlier if you want the donuts. Seemed like most people were there for the burritos. Good amount of tables inside. Service was friendly. I got a steak burrito which has 2 eggs, hash browns, steak, cheese, and a side container of salsa. To be completely honest, I wasn't super mindblown at the burrito and it was more bland than I expected, especially with the raving reviews. I wish the burrito itself had more sauce or more of a kick of flavor. I needed to use all of the salsa to add some texture and flavor. Glad I got to try it once though! read more

The staple casual breakfast spot of my childhood. The breakfast burrito here is always consistently good. I might have implicit bias since it evokes nostalgia of coming here in high school, but it's a classic American style breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, ham, sausage, bacon, cheese, and hash browns (the grated patty style kind). While it's not the biggest burrito, they pack it tight and I'd say it's definitely satisfying for a meal. They've stayed true to the same recipe all this time. Real ones know that the salsa is best when you add ketchup to it too. Their donuts are also solid, and I've heard good things about other menu items (but I've never strayed from the classic breakfast burrito). Service here is always quick and efficient! Alas for the pricing. Inflation rears its head here at Rose. I remember a decade ago each burrito was only $6. Double the cost later and it's still worth it, though, which just says what value it used to be. read more

TBH I've been wanting to come here since 2019 but never made it a priority. Flash to 2024, I made it in and am so glad I finally got to experience their breakfast burritos. We ordered 2 to share, and luckily they already came cut in half! We went with the breakfast burrito (#0) and steak burrito (#7) (even though both were very much breakfast burritos since they came with eggs). The breakfast burrito has 3 different meats in it - not just your choice of 1 of the 3, and hash browns. This one was heavy and slightly greasy, but sometimes that's what you need in the morning. We also ordered ours with avo, a nice addition. The steak was slightly sweet and came with hash browns, unfortunately the browns weren't too noticeable in my half, but this was still my favorite of the two since I loved the flavor of the steak. This place gets super crowded, but they have plenty of seating and it seemed most people took their orders to go. They of course also have lots of donuts, but it was all about the burritos for me. read more

We come here so much, it's almost hard to admit to ourselves. Having grown up in the area, Roses is a staple I've been ordering from since their old location. It doesn't matter what you order, it's going to be amazing. Breakfast Burrito - Bomb. Steak Burrito - Amazing. Club Sandwich on FRESH BAKED French Roll - Literal heaven Donuts on donuts on donuts... what more can you ask for?!? They accept cash now, but that never stopped us in the past. Don't let the line scare you it goes by fast. Menus on the wall so it's easy to read. There is a display case of donuts to keep you occupied while you're in line. Very open space. Go get a breakfast burrito with extra hash browns, sit down in the plethora of seating. Dunk your burrito in the salacious salsa provided, and people watch on a Saturday morning - You might see me there doing the same! read more

Bummed. I was okay with this place until today. Service wasn't bad was just ok. The location itself is pretty big for a donut shop and the menus are large and easy to read They managed two stars because I like their steak breakfast burrito. Is it the best breakfast burrito i have her had? No. But I do like it. Went there this Sunday morning around 6am and ordered 2 steak breakfast burritos and half a dozen donuts. The donuts were stale and old. Particularly the old fashioned ones. They donut itself hard and dry and the glaze was old looking and hard. I'm pretty sure they over charged us too. We ended up paying $41 dollars for 2 burritos and half a dozen donuts. I could have easily gone to so many different places for burritos and donuts and spent $5-$10 cheaper for better food. read more

The food was not good. I had the steak breakfast burrito. The steak was lacking in flavor of any kind. She had the sausage, bacon, and ham breakfast burrito. Same deal. The hash browns in each burrito were crispy though, so I guess that's a plus. Also the "salsa" was just basically just pico de gallo so we couldn't even use that to add flavor. If you're looking for a good breakfast burrito, go elsewhere. read more

Absolutely the best breakfast burritos. They have a variety of other items as well but the breakfast burrito and orange juice is the best combo for a start to your weekend. The food comes out pretty fast and with this new location, there are more seat and parking options. read more

Very good. Service was quick, coffee is better than most, and the salsa paired perfectly with the breakfast burrito. Seems like a place frequently visited by regulars - there was a baseball coach buying like 20 burritos in front of me. read more

Rose's was the go to spot back in high school at their previous location. They still have great breakfast burritos (although prices have bumped up like other restaurants nearby).

Parking is relatively available out front. read more

We have been coming for two years and this place stays GOOD. My husband loves it here! Service is always super fast, the times we come there's never a line. We always ordered a steak burrito and maybe get some donuts on the side. Everything's fresh and hot to your liking. The salsa can use a little bit more spice but other than that I love it. I come here with my husband maybe once a month and the place is pretty big to bring friends as well. Def recommend to others! read more

Good spot for breakfast burritos in the area! Not my favorite but I love the addition of hashbrowns in the burrito. I thought this was unique as other places I've gone to doesn't incorporate hashbrowns as the potato filling. The salsa they use is fresh and I love adding tapatio to give the burrito some spice. My only complaint is I don't like how theres a big piece of ham wrapped in the inside. Sometimes when I eat the burrito, big pieces of ham come out and it gets messy. Or if I take a bite, I get all ham compared to other fillings. read more

Rose Cafe's breakfast burrito is just as good as I remembered it. If it were closer to home, I'd be going there every couple of weeks. Get the steak one! The steak meat is marinated and so flavorful. They also put crispy hashbrowns in their burritos, which gives it a good texture. For me, the burrito would be five stars if they cooked their eggs a bit on the runnier side. On the side, they provide pico de gallo. It has a sweetness to it and isn't spicy. They also serve donuts! We got the blueberry cake donut. People who like their donuts fluffy may enjoy it. I prefer more bite to my donuts though. There's plenty of places that sell breakfast burritos but not many that hit the spot like Rose Cafe's does. read more

Locals know this is the spot for two things and they're not coffee and donuts. Breakfast burritos and hashbrowns. That's the spirit of Rose Cafe. It's not a fancy burrito, but it's the perfect amount of food for a light lunch. No frills atmosphere, tight parking lot. I find it funny how the Wendy's in the same plaza has a large breakfast burrito poster advertising across the street. The burrito has some hashbrown, ham, sausage, bacon, egg, and cheese. Comes with a little contisner of salsa. You'll need two, ask for more. Great textbook breakfast burrito when you want something that checks the boxes. I myself prefer Cafe Rosalina and Greenlee's, but this is not a bad alternative at all. 4/5. read more
