Rosewood Foods

Donuts delicious. Soup quite spicy. Tables quite close together and can get loud so not really a place to sit and get some work done. But it’s a cozy shop in a quieter part of downtown.

I was visiting Edmonton and wandered downtown to find a nice place for breakfast, which is when I stumbled upon Rosewood Foods. It is a clean, simple little place - honestly doesn't look like much and you order at the front and pay ahead of time - but it really delivered in the food-and-drink department. The atmosphere is nice and quiet, perfect for reading and drinking a coffee or having conversation. The drink I ordered - london fog with almond milk - was very good. But the real star was the food. I ordered a scallion, egg, and cheese sandwich. It was soft and buttery and absolutely covered in melty cheese. Even more than I enjoyed my sandwich, I enjoyed the potatoes. I have never had such crispy breakfast potatoes. They are smashed and fried I think? Really exceptional; I usually don't like plain potatoes but I could eat these all day, even without ketchup or hot sauce or anything. Really impressed. Only complaint is that it's so far from my home so I won't be able to visit again anytime soon! Edit: I visited a second time on my trip because I couldn't stop thinking about those potatoes. This time I got a mushroom hash and again: so, so good. I've added a photo of the hash. Definitely recommend.

One of the chef's recommended that i try the lemon pancakes (available on weekends). I'm glad he did!! The pancakes were amazing - light and fluffy. i added a side of bacon. This is now my new favourite breakfast in the city. Everyone else at my table had breakfast envy. But truly, i love everything on the Rosewood menu.

Absolutely adore Rosewood! Not only are their menu food items freshly made and delicious, their baked goods are unreal (I dream about those crullers sometimes, seriously - my favs are the raspberry and mango), and the coffee is on point. Service is always friendly and efficient. Even better though, was when I was last here for a dine in, I saw them help a hungry person in need outside by bringing out a hot coffee and meal. Faith in humanity restored. I am proud to dine at and support a local business that supports its community. Thank you Rosewood for being simply incredible ❤️🐷

There's always a lineup specially at lunch time, their food is pretty good but their pastries are really great 👍 It's a mom and pop run café so you can go wrong. I suggest trying all of their food ad they have quite a few to choose from and they're all delicious. The place is small so if you plan to dine in, come in earlier than the usual busy times or else you won't be able to grab a seat. Overall, 4/5 for me.. there's always room for improvement but the food is spot on for me.

Unbelievably good food here! My partner and I went for brunch on a Saturday before a matinee at the Citadel. The place was hopping, but we managed to snag a couple of stools by the window. I had the roasted broccoli sandwich. It sounds weird but tasted incredible, with a wonderful combination of flavours on toasted foccacia. Even my meat-loving partner was impressed. The crispy potatoes were so flavourful that they didn't need ketchup. My partner would probably skip the Bourbon peach iced tea next time, as he prefers drinks on the sweeter/fruitier side. My London fog was good. We grabbed a couple of cruellers to go--best I've ever had!

I travel to Edmonton for business and Rosewood has become my go to. Their pastries are phenomenal, fresh and really delicious. Their rice bowl is my favorite thing to eat in the city for lunch, so flavorful, simple and really tasty. The best part about Rosewood is the kitchen team. Everytime I have gone there, the chef is so accommodating and thoughtful. 10/10 recommend!

We had a wonderful lunch at Rosewood Foods! I ordered the bar burger, which was fantastic, and my wife had the katsu chicken burger with a kale salad—both were equally great. While it can get a bit busy during lunch hour, the atmosphere is still enjoyable, and there’s plenty of seating by the windows, giving the place a bright and inviting feel. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious, well-rounded meal in a cozy downtown setting!
