A quaint, maybe even unassuming, Italian restaurant, that has a top notch kitchen and service. The menu cycles, but I have never been disappointed. Pizzas are outstanding, be they breakfast or lunch, and the all of the baked goods have clearly been perfected. Don't miss this spot, especially if you're a coffee connoisseur.

Rose Cafe sits at the western end of Union Street and is one of Cow Hollow’s busiest brunch spots. If there’s a wait on a weekend, people usually go to Wrecking Ball Coffee across the street or check out the bike shop on the opposite corner. Once seated, the menu leans heavily on baked items and egg dishes. The bread pudding, specialty quiche, and poached egg plates are the items most tables order, and the brunch crowd often adds one of the bottled options that come out of the bar at a steady clip.

Lively place, great service and good breakfast options. We requested for some customisation and the host was really helpful and accomodated our request. Food was really good too.

Just wow! The bread on many dishes is light, fluffy, and just a quality product. The corner location is easily accessible and there is well over 25+ seats outside on a less than busy corner. Accessibility is easy for all patrons. Salmon dishes here are a top recommendation. The Salmon Cozy is light, yet has a sweet Italian dressing taste that makes it highly desired for more with subtle watercress. The Salmon Pizza is a unique gem that combines eggs with smoked salmon:) There is plenty of dishes that kids will enjoy. The pizza is again light with sauce and the dough is crunchy and holds its form well. The Staff is the friendliest with quality service throughout your time at Rose’s. Do not miss a stop at Rose’s when in San Francisco.

The server Aina guided me to this insanely good Margherita pizza. While living in North beach I thought that I had tasted the best pizza in town. I was mistaken until today.

Rose’s is a local staple for pretty much any meal, and it won’t take long to understand why. The menu is built around a pretty solid foundation of Italian food, with some American influences sprinkled around. Everything is delicious, and feels and tastes homemade. I had the chicken sausage and polenta with a slightly spicy tomato sauce that seriously almost knocked the wind out of me - not because of the spice! - because it reminded me so much of the tomato sauce my nonna made when I was a kid. The place is spacious and cozy, the staff is friendly and attentive, and I’d venture you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

Food was delicious. The baked goods were fabulous, coffee cake and chocolate croissants yummy. The table had the stuffed Focaccia, breakfast sandwich and the mushroom spinach pizza. All very tasty and very large portions. Staff was very attentive. Seating available both inside and out.

The food was good, but I wouldn’t call it one of the best brunch spots in SF, definitely not worth all the hype. The soup was actually quite good, and the breakfast pizza stood out as the best dish. The space itself is lovely with a great vibe right on Union Street, which definitely adds to the experience. However, the service wasn’t very friendly, which took away from the overall feel. All in all, a decent spot, just slightly above average for SF brunch standards.

Came here on Mother’s Day hoping for a great meal with family. The restaurant wasn’t busy, which surprised us, but we’ve had good experiences here before and were optimistic. Unfortunately, the food was underseasoned. My smoked salmon breakfast pizza, my son’s chicken sausage with polenta, and my husband’s soft scrambled egg sandwich all needed help from hot sauce or salt and pepper. Service was friendly but a bit forgetful—we didn’t get sugar and cream for our coffee until it had gone cold. That said, we still enjoyed our time because we were in great company, and thankfully, there was no rush to leave. Even though the food didn’t shine this time, I’m giving the restaurant a 4/5 because I remember how wonderful it once was. I’m hopeful this was just an off day, and I’d love to see the kitchen return to the well-seasoned, memorable meals we’ve had here in the past.
