Rose Cafe Lake Forest

Amazing Experience. I have loved every item I've eaten. Baklava is suprisingly fresh. Has outdoor seating but is heated.

Iʻm from Hawaii and I love this place! The place is so cute & cozy! The owner is so kind, funny, welcoming and she treats you like friends. The food is great and the employees are nice and efficient. My favorite is the Chai Latte and itʻs so good that I drove 45mins. from where Iʻm staying just to get it! Aloha!

Parking lot in front of restaurant was packed for lunch. We did find parking nearby. The place was packed! Easily found seating for 4 (self-seating). I had a Shawarma beef wrap. It did not disappoint! It was delicious!!

Semi-Meditranian menu during the day. We were told the menu is more Mediterranean at dinner and in the Hooka bar (closed at lunch). The burrito was well seasoned and delicious with good flavor. The club sandwich was more bland. The owner (wife) was very nice and engaging. The space is pretty cool with a large COVID era tent, some indoor seating, and a few tables outside.

I don’t usually write long reviews, but this place absolutely deserves it. I recently visited Rose Cafe and had one of the best dessert and coffee experiences I’ve had in a long time. Let’s start with the baklava—honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly flaky, packed with fresh pistachios, and just the right amount of syrup. It was rich, aromatic, and absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was also amazing—strong, smooth, and perfectly sweetened. It gave that bold kick you want without being bitter. Easily one of the better iced coffees I’ve had locally. As for the desserts, this place is a bakery lover’s dream. The key lime tart with whipped cream and fresh mint was refreshing and bright. Everything in their dessert
