Rose & Basil

This place is so adorable! Definitely a great place to have coffee meetings. We didn't love the signature Rose Truffle, but the Cayenne Pepper Truffle and Athlete Breakfast Jar were really good!

Adorable is the best way to describe this place :) the adorable dog the worker had was icing on the cake. Had a Groupon for 2 coffees and a gift box chocolate here. The Groupon is for standard coffee, but I paid the extra dollar to up it to the special coffees (cuz I'm here, why not try their specialties?) And they were great. I got one iced rose latte and one iced lavendar latte. They are a little sweet for me, but next time I'll just see if they can tone down the sweetness. But the rose and lavender flavors were wonderful and yummy. The décor was great and the workers were so sweet and kind, they even let me charge my phone. Again, the dog was a great bonus. I did not try their cakes, but they looked really pretty, and the chocolates I ate later were nicely flavored and a real treat. Great place to chill with friends over good coffee or impress a first date.

My girlfriend and I were looking for a place where we can sit awhile and talk after roaming around the city whole day. We passed by your place and caught our attention. The white twinkling lights and a little white table and chairs out front. I like the ambiance of the place, lots of roses and pastel colors, cute decorations, and a great place to stay for a few hours on a lazy afternoon. I ordered an espresso and homemade vegan treats, while my girlfriend ordered a few truffles and it was presented to her in a small glass pedestal with glass covering! Their food presentation is very unique. It was really good experience and made my girlfriends trip to New York complete. We will try to make it back soon. My overall experience with this place was marvelous, their customer service was charming and filled us both in on everything they had on the menu. I also saw lots of people parked there working, so it's nice to have a cafe to relax and do work. Some tend to shuffle you out after a while. Relaxing atmosphere all around and I'll have to try some of their additional delicacies upon return. Recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cafe with a unique twist and interesting menu.

Stopped in while they were doing a little photoshoot for Halloween cake decorations. Staff was nice and let me try some of their Halloween-style cakes. I guess I'm the first customer to do so, which was fun. Had a cappuccino which was super smooth. Didn't try any other food but the menu looks interesting. The owner said they change their menu up seasonally, so I guess I'll be back often to try all the new stuff.

I never would have stopped in here (pink isn't really my color), but someone told me about the cool crystal castle wallpaper in the back, so I had to check it out. Very neat inside! Coffee was great and I ordered WAY more food than I intended. Sorry not sorry!

The mini cakes are very disappointing, lacking flavor. Don't waste $11 on them. Rose latte was delicious though! Nice environment to hang out but the desserts were disappointing.

AMAZING food, great service, and the cutest aesthetic. There's flowers EVERYWHERE and most of them are real!! My girlfriend and I absolutely love it and plan to come back soon

Incredible custom cakes! Tried out this bakery after seeing them on TV for my girlfriend's birthday, and they totally nailed it. Cakes were very reasonably priced for things that look like works of art. Much more reasonable than many other dessert or cake places in NYC. Cool decor too.
