Rose Cafe
A garden brunch in Lake Forest. Fresh french toast, the lox bagel, a pastry case glazed for the morning. After seven, the room turns. A Mediterranean evening and the hookah lounge, on the same lit, flower-lined patio.
The Signature Garden
What to order first.
Plated fresh, garnished by hand. The dishes the regulars come back for, morning into evening.
Most photographed Berry Brioche French Toast
Thick brioche under fresh strawberries, banana, and blueberries, a dusting of powdered sugar, an orchid on the plate. Brunch, the way Rose plates it.
Croissant Breakfast Sandwich
A flaky, glazed croissant around eggs, bacon, tomato, fresh greens, and a chipotle aioli. The morning order regulars come back for.
The Lox Bagel
Smoked salmon piled on a toasted bagel with avocado, capers, red onion, and everything seasoning. Bright, generous, fresh.
By night Shawarma Wrap
Seasoned shawarma rolled with crisp vegetables and pickled turnip. A Google-reviewer favorite, and the doorway to the dinner menu.
Grilled Chicken Sandwich
A grilled chicken breast on a toasted brioche bun with arugula, tomato, and lettuce, red onion and house pickles alongside.
The Pastry Case
Donuts, almond bear claws, cinnamon rolls, danishes, cruffins, baklava. Glazed in the morning, still calling your name at dinner.
Sprinkle $2.75 · Almond bear claw $5.50.
“The place is so cute & cozy! The owner is so kind, funny, welcoming and she treats you like friends. My favorite is the Chai Latte.”
