Rosie's Cafe

Although I have been passing this gem for years, literally, I had lunch here at the invitation of a colleague. Loved the service. One of their specialties, chicken and waffles was divine. It came out hot. Well seasoned, crispy skin. Belgium waffles with a crisp on the edges and a moist center. Topped with fresh strawberries and pecans. Assorted syrups were available. I will return.

I came to town to run The Race 5K at Impact Church and stopped by Rosie’s with family afterwards. It was the perfect choice. The food and service was great!! I really enjoyed the shrimp and grits and the blueberry chicken and waffles!! I will definitely come back for a visit!!

The food looks like it came out of a box or bag. I asked for strawberries with my French toast and received not even a half of one, when I asked for a more she walked out of the front door saying it’s just a garnish. The eggs were cooked to perfection. The coffee was great. But I won’t recommend this place unless you may want to a good cup of coffee or some real eggs.

The food was amazing!!! I had banana nut pancakes and they were super good, I could have ate 3 more easily. The coffee was also delicious and looked beautiful

Great food but management doesn’t allow any refunds which is unreasonable in my opinion. If I receive an item that tastes off or didn’t even get touched, you’d think the item would be removed from your ticket. But no, at Rosie’s you pay for unsatisfactory food! No excuses! Not the best customer service.

The tables are a bit cramped inside. The food was pretty good. The strawberry pancakes were amazing. I wouldn’t recommend the grits.

Overpriced trash! The service was nice except for the cook, mean old lady! Frozen potatoes, onions and peppers passing them off as fresh! Boiled wings! A mess

This was first experience at Rosie's and I WILL NOT BE BACK. I asked for eggs over medium and they were clearly OVER HARD. The waitress was very attentive to my disappointment but it appeared the other staff were more interested in the content creator than getting things right.

Had a great breakfast and service by my waitress Dee! Food was so good I will be back this mont! Everyone must try Rosie's cafe!

Great atmosphere, fast service. We ordered cappuccino's to start with oat milk. Our waitress Ebony was prompt efficient and very pleasant to talk to. We Ordered the fried green tomatoes to start. Yummy!!! We had the veggie sausage and biscuit with home fries!! All the food was hot!! The wait staff were all very pleasant!! Everything was delicious and very filling. We would come back again if we visit in the future!

For one, the service here was great! The young woman working the front of the shop was attentive, and very helpful while my family was placing their order. I got the French Toast Platter, which was absolutely delicious. The scrambled eggs were great, and the potatoes were seasoned perfectly, with some not-too-sweet french toast to top it off! The ambiance here is so nice, and the mural on the side is the perfect photo opportunity! Will be returning!

Rosie's on Sulvan Road is tucked between Cleveland Avenue and Langford Parkway, hidden among industrial warehouses and the steady flow of trucks moving in and out of nearby hubs. If you're not paying attention, you might just drive right past it--so slow down and keep an eye out for your turn. The space is cozy, so if you're coming with a larger group, I highly recommend calling ahead. The vibe is intimate--perfect for catching up with friends or even a low-key first breakfast date. So far, I've had nothing but good experiences here. Just consistently great food. Today's choice: the Specialty Waffle, served with three whole battered wings and a Banana Nut flavored waffle. The Chicken: Absolutely delicious. Fried to perfection--crispy, not too greasy, and served piping hot. The seasoning was just right, flavorful without being overpowering. A great match for the waffle. The Waffle: My server asked if I wanted butter. Normally I'd say yes (I love butter), but I declined after noticing the generous drizzle already coating the waffle. I'm not exactly sure what the icing drizzle was, but it made butter unnecessary. While I'm usually not big on nuts in my waffles, it was still tasty. That said, I personally would've enjoyed more banana and a bit less nut. This wasn't my first time at Rosie's--and it definitely won't be the last. As always, the food was excellent. Next time, I'm eyeing Rosie's Shrimp & Grits. Highly recommend.

Love this place for brunch. They have the best turkey bacon and friendliest service. The ambiance is cheerful

Our server Dee was not polite at all.. the chicken still had feathers and uncooked.. French toast arrived at the table burnt and looking as if someone took a bite.. didn't feel very welcoming.. also you pay for your food before even seeing the check..for sure a scam

Super friendly staff. Lots of families there and the food was tasty with great waffles for the kids! Finally a breakfast place in Atlanta without some 40 minute wait (should I say that?), but it's a gem that will be discovered. We had a bit of a kid melt-down so we had to leave early and the wait staff calmly understood, helped box up food fast and the POS pay made it even quicker for an unfortunate early exit. We will definitely be back!

This place is so delicious! I definitely recommend making a reservation, even for breakfast because it gets crowded. The food came out hot and was phenomenal. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the pancakes were fluffy, the grits were so creamy, and the pork sausage was delicious. The croissant had too much butter and was hard though. They have amazing chai lattes. It was the best latte I've ever had because it wasn't too sweet. The ambiance was modern and chic. There is a bar area on one side and another side with high top tables and regular tables. The waiter was friendly but wasn't as attentive. I had to ask for refills multiple times. The only reason why I gave this restaurant 4 stars is the wait time. It took over 30 minutes to get our food.

Found this place on Apple Maps to meet up with friends. We were looking for a coffee shop but got the food we didn't know we needed. I can verify the grits are bussin. I definitely would like to try more on the menu, we all left our plates CLEAN. The service was amazing! Cool ass waitress, hooked my friends chai tea up in these cute mugs! We will be returning!

One of my favorite spots for breakfast. Coffee is strong and good...I have been hooked on the Fish and Grits on my last few visits. However, the other dishes are great and the salmon patties!!! You can't go wrong...great staff, very clean place.

Four words: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Waffles. Man...I went here, today, with a friend out of town. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a welcoming staff. The lady next to us was working on her laptop and I was on a Zoom call. It was a Very calm and relaxing environment. I got the chicken and waffles and I was not disappointed. The person I was with stopped and watch me eat because, apparently, I was putting a hurting on the food. Stop by for breakfast or brunch when you get the chance.

Not bad, but there are way better cafes in the metro Atlanta area. If you are trying to have a decent quality breakfast for a reasonable price, then you can't go wrong with Rosie's.

Incredibly slow service. Waiters and staff seem to be not caring about time at all. If you know it takes longer, then why not at least warn that the kitchen and bar are busy and it takes 25 minutes to make two lattes? The place itself is chill Food and drinks are good, but it took around 25 minutes to get simple coffees for two. For a coffee cafe doesn't seem making sense. Moreover, no contactless payments. On top of that - dirty bathrooms with no towels in women's and no soap in men's.

Rosie's was my first stop in Atlanta and I was extremely pleased with Nitosha's hospitality. Had a great breakfast to start my day. I will come again.

All around great! Glad they added a brunch location in the Sylvan Hills area. Immediately greeted by friendly staff. Although a wait we did not mind. While the Northside location allows for reservations, this one does not. No waiting area inside but they will call when table is ready so you can wait in your car or outside. Jennifer was our server and she was very nice, attentive and personable and took extra effort to ensure our order was correct. The food was hot with good taste. Breakfast Burrito, Salmon Croquets, Pancakes, Eggs and Grits were all delicious. The one downside is with the specialty pancakes the flavors are not mixed in and only as toppings. Delicious nevertheless. Plenty of free parking.

Rosie's was a great little spot on our way to the airport to grab some lunch. The fried fish was perfectly seasoned, the chicken salad was fire and the kids loved the pancakes. Seems like a popular place, seating is limited. Service was good.

Solid food, no wait, decent service. This was a win for what we were looking for and even on Father's Day when other spots in the area were maxed out for reservations with no walk ins allowed. Ordered the chicken and got the cinnamon toasted pecan pancakes. It did what needed to be done.

Food was BOMB! I got the basic sampler, biscuit was fresh and fluffy and the grit were excellent despite the initial presentation. Besides the serAfter eating our breakfast -- was made aware they're no longer accepting tap to pay. That was really inconvenient

Nice restaurant right next to the Mercedes Benz stadium on the corner. The ambiance is nice there are two sides. The dine in side or the bar area. The service was great, the only problem was the wait on the food; it took a long time for our order to come out. When we got our food order it was great! The grits were delicious, the fried swai fish was amazing. All the food was fantastic. I will definitely go back

I am a native Atlantan and have been consciously making efforts to visit more of our local businesses. Today I decided to visit Rosie's for the 2nd time(1st time was last summer, I wasn't that impressed and felt like I wasted my money, especially on that Toffee Nut Latte, but decided to give it another try on a less crowded day). Placed my order on their website at 12:49pm for a Breakfast Burrito (w/chicken sausage, potatoes and cheese eggs), nothing complicated, it was the basic burrito on their menu. Received a confirmation that my order would be ready at 1:19 pm. First sign that things weren't going to go right was the parking attendant's lack of awareness. I pulled in the lot and immediately saw a guy getting ready to leave so I pulled up close enough to him so that it would be evident that I was waiting on him to pull out. The attendant then waves me forward, so I look in my rearview to make sure I'm not blocking anyone, I wasn't, but he waved me up again, so I think maybe there is space closer up that I can't see. Nope it wasn't, so I tell him that I was waiting on the space that the guy was pulling out of, and of course, the guy pulls out and is now behind me and the attendant is looking at me with a stupid look on his face, smh. So I have to pull out of the parking lot, wait at the light and hope that by the time I turn around and get back into the parking lot the space isn't gone(because there parking lot is very small). I went in about 1:10pm because I don't like to wait until the exact time just in case my food is ready early. I go up to the two young ladies at the pick up counter, they greet me and I give them my name, she checks the little cart that they use for to-go orders and tells me my order isn't ready yet. I say ok and stand there for a few minutes before I sit down, but in my head I'm like how long does it take for a breakfast burrito, literally that's all it was nothing extra with it, no grits, drink, nothing, just a burrito. I wait for a few minutes after the time I was given and I go back up there and ask the young lady if they called my name, she tells me not yet, so then I ask her is this normal for it to take this long for a burrito? At that time another lady (she had wavy hair and looked like she had a tattoo on her neck) who I think was probably a manager, hears my question and replies. She tells me that they had a large party of 10, as if they aren't experienced restauranteurs and it's their first ever big party. Mind you it wasn't crowded in there at all so I didn't feel good about that reply, feels like you're already making excuses, but no one has gone to actually check on the order although I'm the only one still waiting in the To-Go area. They were standing there talking. There's more to good customer service than just a pleasant greeting. You have to be aware of the orders that were placed and what you're waiting on, it helps you cut down on service failures and the amount of wasted time that occurs. You have to be proactive by checking in with the kitchen about outstanding orders. That's how you keep things flowing and keep all your customers happy. Finally the younger lady goes to the kitchen because now I'm standing and giving a clear vibe of "what the heck is taking so long". I can see them talking and looking on the screen and at that moment I knew my order was overlooked. She comes back to the counter, but she doesn't say anything to me. She's talking to the other workers and I can hear her saying basically they don't know where my order is. Mind you, I'm the customer yet she never tells me this, but then the lady who I think is the manager comes over and I just go ahead and tell her in a very polite and calm voice, "hey you can just refund me if it's not ready and I'll go somewhere else". She goes back to the kitchen and the kitchen manager tells her he's rolling the burrito up now and give him about 4 minutes. She goes on to tell me that someone took my order, mind you I've been sitting there looking at the younger lady help others that came to pick up and I don't believe that because I could hear her asking their names before she gave them their order. Honestly, as soon as she started making excuses, I knew I was never coming back, I don't have time for that when I'm spending my hard earned money, especially in this economy. Be upfront, be apologetic, fix it, no excuses. Finally at 1:34 pm the kitchen manager comes out with my food tells me thank you, gives a quick apology and I go on my way. The burrito was hot and a large portion so he obviously tried to make up for the fact that I waited so long, but it was flavorless, dry and I didn't care for the taste of the tortilla. It would've been nice if the potatoes had more onion and peppers in them, but overall it was mediocre, I ended up only eating half of it. I definitely won't be back.

I recommend coming to this place the bartender is nice and the food is very filling. U can enjoy good mimosa with the girls. Everyone is nice

Literally spent the weekend at Rosie's due to event in area. I was not disappointed on either visit! Ample parking is available during the visit. Yesterday, during first visit in a few years, I had the delicious shrimp and grits. It was a smaller portion compared to other places, and also the perfect portion size. Good flavor throughout. I paired it with the oatmeal latte which had good cinnamon flavor. It was a bit sweet but enjoyed the taste and barrel mug served in that had a warming metal consistency. Day 2, returned with visiting family post event. Ordered the angus burger with a side of coleslaw. The medium burger came with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions. Opted for no cheese and ditched the delicious looking buns do to current dietary program. #bikiniseason The homemade coleslaw was a great choice as it was rich in texture and flavor. My companions had eggs over easy, french toast, wings and fries. All selections were well received. Service was excellent on both days and did not mind adding to the 20% automatically added gratuity when dining in. Danielle was informative and pleasant on day 1. Alicia, my namesake, was extremely impressive from greeting to follow up check ins to exit. Both ladies were attentive and provided good service. Location is one of three, and in East Point. Very convenient from 166. Interior design was warm, and ample space. Will definitely return!

Hey gang! This place has been on the wife's list of places to visit for a while now and Sunday Oct 15, 2023 was visiting day. Parking is good, facility is clean, Bathroom hallway is very tight don't really understand this ya'll. I ordered the pancakes, eggs over well, bacon and potatoes. Food was bland and lacked real flavor and seasoning, especially the potatoes. and why is the portion of potatoes so small? Chicken wings are fried in flour and no seasoning on these either. The wife ordered the crab cakes and apparently they were right on. I wasn't gonna speak on the service too much but hopefully they can straighten that out as my order was brought to the table wrong and no real apology offered just a "oh we will get your pancakes over to you in a bit". overall not a complete fail but there is attention to detail and maybe some recipe changes that should be explored.

First time here the food was fresh and delicious and my server Jennifer was awesome. My new place when I'm in Atlanta North area.

Cozy, southern, mom and pops vibe is what I got. Food was good, serving size was massive, and the server was welcoming. The food came out really quick. Overall, pleasant experience!

Hot and simple breakfast. Plenty of parking and near the door. They are friendly and always have a pleasant smile when I dine in. Locals come through for their favorite home cooked breakfast meals. You can order from the Coffee bar for to go or pick up orders. Prices are reasonable and items can be substituted or ala carte to your liking! Great staple near the Lakewood Area and freeway.

My daughter and I stopped in after moving some things into my house down here in south east Atlanta. Rossy is on the street not far from where I used to on my first house. I really do like this neighborhood. Upon entering I was welcome immediately. It's a small, mom and Pop vibe. The server told me it would be about a 15 minute wait which I understood. I'm nice to me. My daughter had beat me here and already had a table. We sat in chitchatted for a little bit. They were busy with full tables and full of energy and noise. Our server did come by to check on us. But I asked her to give us a moment while my daughter and I decided if we wanted to stay. Instead of looking at yo, we should've looked at the website to get a better understanding of the pricing. Please look at the website. Breakfast is a little bit higher than I anticipated. Once we settled on something when we both knew we both came for coffee, it seem like our waiter forgot about us, but she said she didn't. She quickly took our order and promised that she would put our food in first, which wasn't much, but the Rossy sandwich and then our coffee. Our breakfast sandwiches came out and fresh. Our coffee was delivered. Just a little bit later after our food was tabled, but was also hot and delicious!our server was great! However, I just feel like everything felt the cookie cutter. It wasn't smooth. All in all, I enjoyed it and will be back. Happy to be back in this neighborhood. Happy to support businesses like this. Biscuit, sandwiches and coffee for two with the 20% gratuity. $31

Very good. My sister loved her chicken and waffles. I loved my breakfast platter. Our server was fantastic.

The service was very fast and food was delicious. Maia was a lovely server who was very attentive and patient.

The restaurant is nicer than I expected. I thought it was more of a dive but I was completely incorrect. It's quite lovely inside. Decorated nicely and It's larger than I thought as well. The service was friendly enough. Not Chick-fil-A friendly but definitely absent of attitudes, which I appreciated. Our food was really good but all around us patrons left lots of food on their plates...they could have just ordered too much but I was rather confused about that. I got the fish and grits which came with French toast. I wasn't fond of the French toast...not a lot of French toast flavor and not real maple syrup . I brought it home to fix up. The grits and the fish though were super good!! My friend got the fish po boy with Cole slaw and she thoroughly enjoyed her food. I have the Atlanta dining out passbook so it was a buy one get one entree. I will return even without the book. Their prices are reasonable.

Seating was fast, sat at the counter.... My order was taken and served timely! The server gurls were friendly & professional! It was a Happy Sunday @ Rosie's Sylvan Rd and will definitely go back for the Fish/Grits!! Thanks!

Terrific breakfast joint with plenty of menu options. Would recommend getting there early on weekends because they get busy.

Stil waiting after an hour... places a take out order.. been here since 10:05am.. be ready to wait... Location/ambiance: East side located in a neighborhood setting, parking is tight. Inside is small and a bit tight so it's packed. Nice ambiance cozy vibe. The greeter is not so welcome. I sensed an attitude based off her body language, it could be due to the overwhelming of people, but still you have to be welcoming and pleasant. Covid protocol: everyone wore a mask, this place is a packed house, so make your own judgement if your would want to eat inside. An hour wait just to sit inside and wait for a table availability Food: the taste of the food is ok.. portions are good size and fulfilling. This business has another location as well, so it may be a bit different. Next time I'll call in advance to order instead of waiting 2 hours for take out order!

The food is OUTSTANDING!! The restaurant is pretty small itself, but the food was very good and everything was delicious! I've been to some places where the main dishes was good but the grits were nasty, well not this place! The French toast was delicious and my Waiter D was very helpful and had every condiment delivered to my table with my food so I wouldn't have to wait so that I as a bonus for me! And they all were masks and the tables are covered with a fresh white disposable paper each guest. ENJOY!!!

The on-line ordering is VERY deceiving. I am all for tipping but I do not tip as much for a call-in order. An automatic 20% being added for a call-in is ridiculous. I stop dining in for the same reason. Give the consumer the option to tip & pay your servers a living wage and stop passing every charge to the consumer.

Food is always delicious when I visit my hometown Atlanta Ga. . Best food with great taste and seasoned to perfection as usual. Service on the other hand has changed and not for the good. The Manager was a bit rude in a sarcastic way. She should be told and taught that never judge a book only by its cover. Sometimes how a person may dress or look may not define how prestige or rich they may truly be. You should always be on your best behavior at all times you don't know who may enter your establishment at anytime. Also the gratuity that is automatically added to your bill. This should not be added to your bill unless you have a party of 4 or more and that you really had good service. Ambiance is always on point. Just needed to work on service and not be judgmental of people. Other than that it's a wonderful place to eat with delicious food.

The Milky way iced latte is absolutely amazing!!! Diane and Tony are the absolute best and the whole staff is happy to be at work with the best vibes. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a good coffee with a positive atmosphere.

I want to love this place because it's so close to my house. It's a cute place open for breakfast and lunch. They have messed up every order I've placed, like completely leaving off the protein or just something I didn't order. Often the are out of items and servers forget you once they drop the plates. There's a pretty good Waffle House nearby so just go there.

Soooo good soooo goood sooooo goood! I came from out of town (Houston, Tx), and was starving from my long flight, so I decided to Yelp and search for a brunch spot! This was the first to come up! I really loved the hospitality and the friendliness from all the staff. This place actually became really packed after we came in, so thank god! The food was exceptional! I loved the sausage and French toast! I'm sure all the other foods were great too. Please stop by this place!

TERRIBLE customer service always! I came in here for a brewed coffee. I paid and was waiting for the lady to fill my coffee, literally just brewed coffee. No cream or sugar - super easy! And the lady puts my cup down, takes the order of the guy who walked in behind me, does his entire order then comes back and fills my cup. Like why? Just fill the cup of coffee and help the next guest after. I don't understand her reasoning, but I will definitely not be back here. Also, my company orders from them a lot for pick up and every time they tell me how they mess something up or are REALLY SLOW! I don't know why they keep ordering from here. The photo is from my to go order from work. SHRIMP PO BOY - Plain. It's whatever.

Food was great! However we ordered drinks when we first sat down. Initially I was brought the completely wrong drink (waited 15 minutes for this) and then I didn't get my correct drink until the end when I was done with my food and ready to leave. Gratuity was included too which was annoying because our waitress was not attentive at all.

The food was good and we were able to sit right away but the service was bad. Didn't receive our ordered drinks for the entire meal only to be told they were out of what we ordered. Waitress sat at a table behind us for the whole time we were there.

The employees were accommodating for a large party even though they have a small dining area! The food was great. Fall hash was delicious. Cookies are amazing!!!

I came in at 10:38 to order a quick bite to go and was promptly greeted by someone. The vibes here are very chill . They have 90's r&b playing and the staff also seems to get along. I was going to take my food to go but they insisted I stay inside. I order an oat milk cookie latte 6/10 , could have been stronger . For my main entree I got the fish and grits with toast. The first were very cream and fish just melted in my mouth . My server Daija was great ! Will be back .

Finally made my here to the Sylvan Road location. It's quaint. The location is totally unassuming. Since I was familiar with the area, my first thought was..where in the world could a restaurant be on this street? Well it works. We pulled up and the lot was full. Not that many spaces. Makes me wonder how did they handle very busy days prior to this pandemic and changes made for dining. So let's get to the food, which is why only 3 stars. I ordered Rosie's Breakfast platter. You can choose your meat, bread and eggs. I chose grilled chicken breast fillet, french toast and scrambled eggs with cheese. It was nothing I'll order again. Fried green tomatoes..I make homemade better. I read the food was good, but....... My visit was June 6, 2020..just posting the draft. Smh..it's 2/3/2022.

Tried Rosie's per my friend's recommendation. I have a mixed review. My server was very forgetful and spoke negatively about her boss and other coworkers which led to us missing items, having an extended wait for certain items and also feeling kind of disgusted. Our server specifically said "I hate it here. I'm so ready to go. I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Then proceeded to state that a guest had stolen $40 from her that day amongst other complaints.. throughout the ENTIRE experience. It really turned me off and I felt like she should have just found a new job. It was so weird how she acted. The food: Cooked very well!! Everything was packed with flavor and truly delicious I really loved how crunchy and well seasoned the fried chicken breast fillet was. This was my first time having Pollock; my server told me that it was similar to Whiting -my FAVORITE fried fish- and it actually tasted like Cod. I am not a fan of Cod so I did not enjoy the fish. To be clear, the Pollock was well cooked, but it was not my preference of fish. If you enjoy Cod then I would recommend the Pollock basket. Crinkle fries are my favorite so I was very pleased with these :) I believe the kitchen manager had come out at some point and she had the BEST attitude, high energy and a huge smile. I really enjoyed her speaking with us and letting us know our meal was prepared with love for the craft. Overall, I do recommend this restaurant. I do NOT recommend Tae (I may have her name wrong) as a server. No one wants to hear their server complain while they are trying to eat. It's actually horrible for your appetite, despite what some may think bc our digestive tract is directly connected to our brain/social emotional state. With a more positive server this would be a 5/5, but I suggest Rosie's does trial runs to establish higher service standards for staff.

Had an amazing breakfast on this Labor Day! I thought I would not be able to get into any restaurant this morning due to the holiday took a chance coming down Sylvan Road and ran into this sweet spot. The place looks packed from the parking lot however wants inside we were able to be seated socially distancing without a problem. The food came fast and was fresh! my 10-year-old son loved his veggie sausage which smelled eerily like the real thing! My daughter created a good meal from the stacker menu which is the same size as a breakfast platter for half the price. Our server, Ayanna was a great host.

I saw the really good reviews on this café and wanted to try it out this morning, but after walking in saying good morning with no reply and then standing at the register for about 45 seconds and still no acknowledgment... No good morning... No "I'll be with you in one second" I immediately left the café! I find that extremely rude instead of singing along to the songs that's playing, customers should be acknowledged... I live a short five minutes from this café and it would've been nice to attend what seems to be a black owned café but not being acknowledge whatsoever is beyond me. I do not plan to return (and no they were not busy there were literally three people in the café and two people working the front at the register) 12/13/22 8:10am

The food was decent but the service was lacking, the waitress was not very helpful and decided to give herself a tip after we gave her the credit card instead of handing us the device to determine the amount.
