Just picked up 2 dozen incredibly fresh donuts. First time here. They didn't mind at all that I practically cleaned them out! They still only charged me a dollar per donut even tho they added in some top shelfers!! I ate the maple bacon bar. It has now become my favorite donut I've ever eaten in my entire life! I just wish I had taken a picture before inhaling it. So soft, fluffy, chewy and not too terribly sweet either! I shared them with my coworkers and everyone is raving. Good job Rosie's! Super nice staff too! Such a cute place. I will be back.

Hidden gem right out in the open! Very friendly! Tons of coffee options, espresso drinks, pour overs, etc. Serving local JBC coffee. The pastries are not like any I've found in Madison. All made in house. I love scones, think i had the best scone I've eaten: blueberry/lemmon! Lot's of seating options: coffee bar, booths and soft seating. Great to study or with a small group. My new favorite coffee shop!

I bought a couple of cake slices from here when I was traveling through Madison on business. To be honest, they were tasty but not something I'd buy on a regular basis for $5.00 per slice or more. The reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the place had a really great vibe, the staff was very nice, it is locally owned, and everything is baked fresh. I like to eat at and support these types of places. I just don't like paying $5.00 for a piece of cake unless it's out of this world. I'd still go there again and try something else though.

Maybe this trip was a one-off, but it was not good either way. I really wanted to like this place. Small, non-corporate coffee shop? Okay! I got there around 6:50 AM and didn't leave with my drink until 7:15 AM. There were two other customers there. Apparently, their barista doesn't come in until after 7? You open at 6:30 and all you have staffed is a cashier who doesn't know how to make drinks, why would your barista not come in until later? Then, when your barista does show up, they make one drink at a time, one step at a time. I've worked in a coffee shop before, it's possible to make two drinks at a time, and it's possible to froth the milk and pour the espresso at the same time. They have i-pads to pay on. The barista's wasn't working and they spent 5 minutes just trying to figure that out before deciding that we should pay at the cashier's i-pad. They also apparently don't stock their lids well and it took another few minutes just for them to find a lid for my Vanilla Iced Chai. Which didn't taste great enough to make up for the wait. The saving grace for this place was the cake donut I got. Really tasty and helped make up for the bad start to my morning. All I can say is I'm lucky my job is flexible with when I start work. I'll go back for a donut. But not for coffee.

Quite remarkable donuts and good coffee. Found this place via Yelp and I'm sure glad I stopped by. I do often seek out donut shops and enjoy the gourmet options and unique twists. This donut shop is pretty awesome. The standout donuts are a type of filled/pocket hybrid. They essentially make a oval shaped pastry, slice it like a bun, and squeeze some amazingly fluffy frosting up inside. The Oreo one was omg amaze balls, and I don't even know exactly what the chocolate one was but it was equally amazing. In the words of my family member: "I don't even normally like donuts but these are amazing!". As for the coffee, it was good but the service was disjointed from the baked goods area. It took 5mins or so to make my coffee which is pretty slow. And the store was empty so I'm not sure why it would take so long to push some espresso out and into a cup. Overall, great donuts! Would like to see a few more raised donuts with holes in the future.
(4)Darren B.
If you want a great environment, go here. If you want wonderful baked goods, go here. If you believe in buying local and quality, go here. Their maple-bacon donut is awesome, the staff very friendly and the owners are sweet people who treat the staff wonderfully.
(5)Jess P.
Let me say: Great service, great pastries, innovative menu, delicious ingredients... BUT, this place should really take a lesson from similar cafés like Manna and not cheap out on portion sizes!! For 9 bucks (which is approx the price for most lunch items) I want to feel satisfied and full!! Likely Not going to happen here if you're an average adult. My boyfriend and I were both disappointed by our meager portions... I got the ham/cheddar/broccoli quiche, which came with a tiny side salad.. I mean like 3 fork fulls, and the quiche was amazingly good but should have been at least 50% bigger of a slice to be worth it and fill up on. My boyfriend had a roast beef panini. In his case the sandwich was great, but small, and he commented that the pasta side salad "actually tastes like something", and was in a nice heaping portion. This place would be GREAT if they offered just a bit more for the buck.

*Disclaimer: I actually visited back in March; this review has been in my unfinished drafts for awhile. Aaaaanyway....* Big band music was playing when I visited, always a favorite. The overall vibe is of having stepped back in time a bit, helped along by the large black and white photos of the owner's family weddings of the past; very sweet and charming. The accent walls are painted in wide horizontal stripes in beige and brown, suggesting (to me, anyway) the layers of a mocha cake. There's a lot of subliminal messaging going on here. I came for lunch, and ordered a Smokey's Beef sandwich. It was really good, with a super delicious dense bun. Maybe house made? They are a bakery. It was a hard decision because the menu items all sound amazing. Somewhat pricey compared to similar local places with similar offerings, but not too outrageous. After my meal, which did not include dessert, I chatted with the owner, a delightful lady clearly devoted to her business and her craft. Found out she uses only butter from Switzerland which has a very low moisture content in her baked goods, and only King Arthur flour which is the only flour that the European Union allows to be imported from the US due to its quality standards. Also, they were soon going to be installing a new kind of coffee process, some Victorian era thing, which sounded intriguing. I need to go back soon and check that out. As well as some sweets, which is their forté, after all. Great coffee, I might add! Cheerful service, overall pleasant atmosphere. Weird things: Odd placement of bar/counters and cases, no indication that they serve anything but baked goods from the small glass case placed right smack in front of the door upon entering. I didn't realize they served actual food ,too, 'til I walked around to the side. An old lady patron complimented me on the perfect fit of my jeans. Awkward.
(4)Jeff B.
I had a wonderful lunch here today: the grilled cheese sandwich made with pear slices and Brie accompanied by a tasty side salad of mixed greens with just the right amount of vinaigrette dressing. Butternut squash soup is one of my favorite fall dishes. Rita's may be the best that I've ever tasted. My date had a Meg Ryan moment when she tasted it. The dessert case is filled to the brim with temptations that I will need to sample on a return visit.
(5)Tracy A.
Food and dessert both fabulous my lunch was also my dinner. Chicken salad on a crossiant and it was so good!! Loved! Want to go some morning for fresh donuts
(5)Debbie D.
Nice environment. The young lady at the front counter was very friendly. We had coffee, breakfast sandwiches, quiche and potatoes. Everything was wonderful. Thank you for a nice breakfast.
(5)Kate K.
I've heard great things about Rosie's so when I drove past today I decided to stop in and see what all the fuss is about. As soon as I walked in the door someone called out to greet me and I headed toward the ordering counter. Breakfast is supposedly served until 1:30 pm on the weekends, but when I got there at noon, the first three items I tried to order were sold out. One of those items were the potatoes, so I was offered the choice of greens or paying an extra $1 to upgrade to fruit. While $1 may not be much, from a customer service standpoint they really should have offered the fruit for free since they were out of potatoes. I ended up ordering the breakfast sandwich on a croissant (they were out of biscuits), a donut, and tea. The donut, which they forgot to give me until I asked after all my food had been delivered, was delicious! They have a nice selection of Rishi teas that comes in a nice pot with a timer and they'll refill the hot water if you ask. The breakfast sandwich was a let-down. The scrambled eggs were unseasoned, greyish and overcooked, not light and fluffy. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was just a really busy day (mother's day), but I see in other reviews that running out of food seems to be a recurring issue. I'll go back, because I do want to try the biscuits and gravy and those rosemary potatoes, but I'll be earlier next time!

I have a love/hate relationship with sweet things. I hate how much I love them. I wasn't always like this, though. Recently (and perhaps it's because I gave up eating sugar for a while and now it's all my body wants) I see a sweet, some chemical reaction happens in my brain and I can't settle my tum until I'm sinking my teeth into a crazy good confection. I can pass up Chips-Ahoy, Oreos are easy to ignore, but when I come face to face with a scratch made baked good, I always lose. Coz and the team at Rosie's don't help me fight the urge. They opened with the intention to leave the world a little sweeter than they found it, and they do! They not only make some of the best donuts in Madison, but their cakes are crave-worthy and make cookies that you have to hold with two hands... TWO HANDS PEOPLE! In addition to a case that's filled with various other awesome treats, the staff is just so sweet! They're always up for a little conversation and not shy when it comes to talking about the coffee bar. They feature several rad brewing techniques that would make any coffee connoisseur proud, and feature JBC, Madison's award winning roaster. On my last visit I had a siphon brew, my first!, and I can't wait to return for the same. In addition to being one of the smoothest cups of black coffee I've had, it comes with a free show! I haven't tried anything savory just yet (shocking, I know), but I look forward to doing so, then coming back here to update y'all. In the meantime, know that you can't go wrong with anything that has sugar, and that goes for the staff too, which I'm pretty sure is just a bunch of cookies, dressed up like humans with arms and legs and warm smiles and a friendly nature.
(4)Ben K.
Tried this place on a Sunday. Strange location, small, cramped. Many people standing and talking and nothing on staff's part to help. Spilled my coffee all over someone because they wouldn't get out of the way of the customers!! I shared a donut with my girlfriend, white chocolate and chocolate chips was awful. Terrible donut, one of the worst things I've put into my mouth and I wanted to spit it out, and would have if not in polite company. The awful donut aside, we had the Biscut & Gravy with potato hash. The biscut/gravy was good. Not the best I've ever had, but a solid 4 star UNTIL they put paprika on it, it's strange with it, and makes it spicy. I'd give it a 2.5-3 star, Ordering it without paprika (they just sprinkle it on) I'd give it a solid 4 stars. The potatoes are cut up potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Some of the best I've ever had and total 5 stars. Bringing up the dish I'd say to a solid 4 (no paprika!). They often run out of potatoes though, and if they didn't have them, I wouldn't order. I think it was about $8-9 for Biscut/gravy and that's a bit steep without the best thing on the plate. I would avoid the donuts, cheesecakes looked good. I'd try a sandwich,
(3)Grant B.
overall pretty good experience. Decor is nice, new and very clean. Breakfast menu is very limited. Bakery menu is very large and is apparent that this is what they specialize in. Tried a small yellow cake and Oreo doughnut...it was pretty tasty! For breakfast I ordered a croissant sandwich with egg and bacon and a side of potatoes. They only have ketchup packets (this bugged me). I would come again!
(4)Helena F.
Had the sunrise egg croissant with potatoes and good coffee. The restaurant is fresh and clean and the service is very helpful and cheery. The sandwich was a large croissant with very soft and fluffy scrambled eggs and chives. Add some salt to the rosemary roasted red potatoes and they are perfectly soft (although I roast my own to more crispy). The sandwich is large and a bit unwieldy as a handheld, so grab a fork and eat it like an open face. I wish the sandwich came with meat - sausage would be a nice addition. There are better croissants in town, but that doesn't detract from the Sunrise. I didn't get anything from the buttery bakery counter, so a return trip will happen. To the extent they are locally sourcing ingredients is appreciated. As is the cheery big band music on the speakers. I also left a yelp comment on the sausage gravy. Run, don't walk, to try this stuff. I always try the gravy if it's on a menu and nothing is ever as good as mom's. But this one is the first that comes close. You can tell it is from scratch and not low fat. The Avenue's brunch gravy pales in comparison. Trust me. This stuff is the real deal.

Stopped in here just this morning, and it turned out to be their first day. Those of you familiar with Kim's Noodles know the space. Rosie's is doing some good things with it--including a fireplace nook that appears to be waiting to be loaded with books. The bar has been turned into a, well, coffee bar. The coffee itself was delicious. That is always an important thing for me, and this was as good as any downtown coffee shop. I grabbed a box of donuts, which were a hit with staff here at work. I'll have to try other items soon. They also do cakes for special occassions.
(4)Christoph J.
I'd love to give this place a glowing 5-star review. But after several visits, I just can't. The place is kind of a mess, to be honest. I'm a little shocked by all of the love it's getting on Yelp. Perhaps I've just gone on the wrong days, and missed it's normal greatness. The layout of Rosie's is confusing and awful. The first thing you see when you walk in is not a sign of what they offer. You don't see a smiling face. You see the desserts. Not that there is anything wrong with baked goods, but it's awkward. And then you are given a choice to walk left to the coffee bar or go right to the food/bakery area. I believe you can also order smoothies and fancy coffee drinks at the coffee bar. But who and where you pay or where you go for certain things is confusing. Their sloppily hand-written (in chalk!) signs are also unpleasant to look at and look unprofessional. The pour-over coffee (that you can order on the left side) is fantastic. They do a nice job with the coffee, no doubt. But they go way too far in explaining all of the accolades the coffee has collected. Server, I don't care how may awards the coffee has won, calm down and go get me my coffee. I'm not even sure if you can order pour-over coffee at your table, or if you have to go to the bar and order it. There is batch coffee offered over to the right side. I wanted to try the Biscuits & Gravy that others have liked, but they were sold out the last time I went. My roommate and I shared two sandwiches and both were mediocre. Not exactly sure what made my turkey sandwich "tuscan", but it was not very good. The quality of the meat was also questionable and did not appear to be the greatest. The pasta salad that came with my sandwich was flavorless and mushy. My ginger chai latte was fine, but had a lot of clumps of cinnamon in it, which made is somewhat unpleasant to drink. It's also difficult to even find the place, due to poor signage. You've likely driven by Rosie's and never even noticed. The donuts were good. I'd order them again. What I'd recommend is walking in and sitting at the coffee bar. Order some delicious pour-over coffee that they will repeatedly tell you won tons of awards. Order a donut or two. Consume. Then leave. Or for much better food (and good coffee) hop just down the street to Crema Cafe. Crema does almost everything better. Also, why are you closed on Sunday?! A coffee/breakfast/bakery spot being closed on Sunday makes no sense. I'll give Rosie's another try or two, but those Biscuits & Gravy better blow my mind, or I'm likely done with Rosie's. You can find great coffee and baked goods at a handful of other establishments, and I can't really see myself going here as often as I thought I would. Rosie's in it's current form is quite a disappointment. The coffee and donuts are great, everything else...not so much.
(2)Katie H.
Just had the best scone of my life here. Lemon blueberry - fresh, soft, flavorful, and with some amazing glaze. I'll be back!
(4)Cory D.
Walking into Rosie's you are greeted with a friendly 'hello', a welcoming smile, and a delicious set of deserts displayed right before you. You can either have a seat to your right in some cozy booths, or take a left and grab a drink at their large coffee bar. I think the real treasure at Rosie's are the baked goods. They are cheap and scrumptious. Their cinnamon rolls are about the size of a human head and are only $3. All of their deserts just taste superb. However, the rest of their food is just alright. I ordered the Chicken Salad sandwich and was neither thrilled nor disappointed. The croissant from the sandwich was probably the best part, go figure. I had a side of pasta salad and it was a little bland. Overall it was just ok. It's a new establishment so there are bound to be some kinks that need to be fixed, but like others have said this place has great potential, especially with it's new management and appreciative staff. They're all so nice. It's lovely! I got word that they are making a breakfast menu and are going to start serving breakfast next week! I definitely think breakfast will be Rosie's forte. Along with all of their delicious goodies.
(4)Pavel P.
Coffee easily as good as the other very fancy pour-over places but comes up in a fraction of the time. You can tell they take pride in food/drinks they make. Refreshingly low on the irony factor beloved of its Isthmus peers, too.
(4)Amy M.
Friendly service, and tasty baked goods. We just got donuts and scones to go, so will have to come back another time to try their other offerings. The almond scone was a particular favorite. We will be back!
(4)Chad F.
I stopped in this morning for some coffee and breakfast. It was their breakfast "soft opening", so I was lucky enough to be among the first to try some of the best biscuits and gravy I have had in Madison. The biscuit was homemade, crisp on the outside, and chewy on the inside. The gravy was flavorful and -not- overwhelmingly salty (a huge problem with some restaurants) with just enough chunks of sausage to satisfy me. The side of rosemary potatoes were delicious, too. I also saw an egg-y croissant sandwich that looked pretty fantastic, so I will have to try that out soon. Other options include smoothies, oatmeal, strata, and a bunch of breakfast pastries. Now, the food was great...but one of the best things about this spot is that they serve Johnson Brothers Coffee. Also known as some of the best coffee on the planet. Not only that, but they love their coffee, a lot, and you can order a standard drip coffee, pour over, french press, or have them use a fancy percolator. Pour-over is a fantastic way to enjoy a quality roast, but they do it right so you can expect to wait around 5 minutes for your cup to be ready once they start making it. OH! The donut. How can I forget the donut?? I chose a glazed yeast donut. The glaze is sweet, but not overwhelming. The donut itself is chewy and has almost a bit of a tang to it. They look similar to a krispy kreme, but they taste unlike any other yeast donuts I have had before. Very tasty. Did I mention that the service is fantastic and everyone is incredibly friendly and chatty?
(5)Caryn K.
Wonderful paninis! We came in for lunch and ordered two paminis; the Eddie and the Pear and Brie. Both I would get again!
(5)Brandon S.
My wife and I stop here once, sometimes twice a weekend to get bakery items. They are that good. We always get a cinnamon roll and a second item to try. Yesterday's visit was an almond scone on the recommendation of the gentleman behind the counter. On past visits, we have tried the maple bacon doughnut, the cookies 'n cream doughnut and an over-sized M&M cookie. All, very delicious. The doughnuts are light and airy but also chewy with an adequately sweet filling, not like your typical cake doughnuts The cookies are large with just the right amount of crunch to them. For us, the cinnamon rolls are the star. I don't know what blend of flour they use, but they are surprisingly delicious and chewy with fantastic cream cheese icing. Also, they are huge. We always split one between the both of us. I think we have had their coffee only on one occasion, since I don't normally enjoy specialty drinks and would prefer to make a pot of coffee at home. They also have other options for hot breakfast and lunch items that we have yet to try and hope to, someday

Rosie's looks like it has potential. Unfortunately, for now, that potential is unrealized. It's a great location, and Monona certainly needs more variety, so hopefully they'll draw enough business that they can stick around a while and get it right. As it stands now, the decor is fairly antiseptic. It could be warm and inviting, but, it's so sterile it lacks charm. I'm not suggesting that the place be cluttered with kitsch, but a little less sterility would be nice. How about a little more art? Maybe some music? The wide open room, while good in many situations, starts to feel like a cold cafeteria when paired with the tile floor. The chalkboard menu signs help "liven" it up, but are so overdone, they're becoming a cliche. It gives it a "Pier 1" feel - which is confusing when contrasted against the overabundance of tile and white wall. The effect is that it feels like a facade. Wish I could say I liked the food, but, I haven't been able to try it! I was hoping for brunch. When I walked in at 11:10, I was informed that they stopped serving breakfast at 11:00. Doesn't it seem a little odd that a cafe would stop serving breakfast at any time? Anyone who has worked in kitchens for any length of time knows that breakfast is the easiest meal to make - if it's a money maker, why would you stop? Even if you did, for whatever reason, decide to stop serving breakfast, why would you not make an exception for someone who walked in 10 minutes after the "official cutoff" time? At the very least, why not try and find a way to be accommodating. If option A doesn't work, let's do option B! Let's find a way to make it work! I was even told that, while I could still get the quiche, I wouldn't be able to get potatoes with it. I'd have to get the salad. (Nothing says yum like cold salad in the winter). Now, we all know that those potatoes are at least partially cooked, sitting in the back, waiting for a last minute warm-up. But, I guess they must throw them all out when the clock hits 11:00. Strange... but rules is rules! And, I guess that last statement sums up the feel of it. There's potential, but right now, there's an awkward stuffiness that makes the experience uncomfortable. As the group left, and Rosie's lost out on what was easily a $70 breakfast, the host had a look of confused anger, which made me feel a little awkward. Guy - I've worked in the industry - and let me tell you, it's a tough industry to be in. If you're going to make it, you've got to learn to work with people. And smiling helps too.

My fiancée and I went here for a quick brunch before going golfing at the Monona Golf Course. The only two positive things I can say about it is that the food came out quickly and my fiancé's California sandwich with a side of greens was really good (although the vinaigrette for the greens was disgusting and sweet). I'm vegetarian, and I was very excited to get my breakfast sandwich (eggs and cheddar cheese) on a croissant with the side of bacon given to my fiancé, and a slice of 4 cheese quiche with a side of homemade Rosemary potatoes. Sounded delicious, albeit expensive, with the quiche alone costing about $8. Our $30 breakfast wound up being a flop. My croissant was clearly one of those frozen and thawed kind, but worse, the whole sandwich - croissant, egg, and cheese came out to me fresh from the microwave. Have you ever had microwaved croissant? It's soggy. And eggs from the microwave will burn the roof of your mouth. The whole thing was flavorless. The plate came with a side of cutely cut fruit (Orange slice and strawberry) where all of the fruit was either rotted or close to it. The real disappointment was with my quiche. Apparently the potatoes are pre-prepared with bacon, and can not be ordered vegetarian. That was a huge disappointment for me, and it was probably bad for the store, because they swapped it for greens with their sickly-sweet vinaigrette, and my theory is that the vinaigrette was what made and my fiancé sick after the meal. My quiche was also from the microwave, but since I ate it second, it had already cooled off and was pretty cold. The quiche crust was disgusting - the buttery, store bought frozen crusts. The quiche was pretty tasteless. It actually tasted OK once I poured so much pepper on top for flavor and picked off the gross, microwaved, soggy, buttery crust. In the end, my fiancé and I both left feeling sick. He recovered quickly, but 24 hours later, I still feel sick to my stomach after this meal.

I really like the vibe in this place..I've only been here for lunch and have not had any pastries. I really like their panini pressed sandwich fair. The Madison is lovely little gnosh of humus and veggies. Nothing earth shaking, but a nice little sandwich. This is a great addition for this end of Monona drive.
(5)Judy L.
Wonderful staff, very welcoming and helpful. Have had lunch twice , most recently for a birthday get together. Tasty quiche, but I really enjoyed the grilled cheese sandwich of Brie with pears. Then the best part -- chocolate cake with chocolate filling. It was decorated with frosting sunflowers. It was beautiful AND delicious. Thumbs up to Rosie's and to the barista.
(4)K H.
First visit yesterday Outstanding corn chowder and excellent over pour cup of coffee! Friendly staff that aims to serve in an warm and welcoming atmosphere...definitely looking forward to returning and becoming a regular...gotta try some of those delicious looking desserts next time.
(5)Mike M.
Rosie's makes the best doughnuts I have ever enjoyed. I travel quite often for work and their doughnuts are worth a trip every time I'm in Madison. They always blow me away with the texture, flavor, and sheer quality of product. FANTASTIC!! The espresso is pretty awesome as well. EAT A ROSIE'S DOUGHNUT AND YOUR DAY WILL BE BETTER.
(5)Chelsea M.
I am in love with the brie and pear panini. Like actually in love. I also had a cold press which was delicious. Don't be fooled by the name; it's a perfect lunch destination as well as a coffee and pastry break location. This is a nice little gem.
(5)Kristie S.
I love this place! It's a hip scene on Monona Drive and the quality of all of the products and service is outstanding. JBC Coffee Roasters coffee is as good as it gets and the food is phenomenal. The staff is so welcoming and friendly--you can tell that the owners must treat them very well because they're always happy!
(5)Kristi H.
Simple but delicious little cafe for lunch! The baked good are quite yummy, and my husband and I shared two of their sandwiches and were NOT disappointed. This place is a little gem!
(4)Kim N.
Great attention paid to coffee here. They have a full selection of local JBC coffee and offer siphon, pour over and aeropress. They pay really close attention to their brewing. As for food, we had the breakfast sandwich which was big and the biscuit was delicious. I was super sad the were out of donuts at 11 on Saturday, which they said was unusual. Looking forward to another trip.
(4)Steve A.
I can't believe I have driven by this marvelous cafe for months and didn't notice them. We stopped in for lunch today and found Rosie's to be so amazing. We both had the daily special, soup and sandwich. The soup was absolutely wonderful, full of large chunks of meat and a lovely cream base. The sandwich was delicious on a fresh marble rye bread and plenty of meat and cheese. The staff was attentive and wanted to ensure we were enjoying our food and had everything we needed. The young man who took our order was juggling multiple customers and was efficient, but very knowledgeable about the menu. We met the owner and she was delightful, as were the rest of the staff. We will definitely be coming back.
(5)Julie T.
I have been to Rosie's to buy coffee and pastries for coworkers everything we tried was delicious. I was looking to find better than grocery store pies for Thanksgiving, but it was very last minute (the day before) but I thought to give Rosie's a call. The woman who helped me and took my order was soooo nice and was super accommodating so that I was able to pick up fresh pies that afternoon. The caramel apple walnut and pumpkin pies were still warm and smelled absolutely fantastic. I somehow managed to not devour them before serving to my guests the next day. The quality of the pies was amazing. Totally fresh ingredients and everything made from scratch with care, talent, and love and they look beautiful. These pies cannot even be compared to grocery store pies and are completely worth their price. Both were a huge hit with my guests and I can't wait to order pies from Rosie's again!!!
(5)A N.
A friend of mine (Kent) brought me some cake from Rosie's tonight. It was chocolate, but there were definite hints of raspberry in there. Hands down, it was some of the best cake I have ever had! I highly recommend this bakery!
(4)Kristi L.
Raised Glazed donut was wonderful & my latte was excellent. The staff are friendly, & the place is clean. I'm looking forward to returning soon.

We stopped at this café today for lunch because we had a coupon deal. We were not very impressed. We placed our order and were told they would bring the drinks out first but we never got them. My husband had to ask for his iced tea when the food arrived. He had the "Harvey Ham" that came with kettle chips, pasta salad or a green salad. He got 4 pieces of a sandwich that were not very big and a little lacking in ham. The price was $8.95. I ordered the "Rick's Roast Beef." I received just 2 halves with not much beef. It also came with kettle chips, pasta salad or a green salad. This sandwich was $9.95 and not worth that price. We both chose the pasta salad which was okay-nothing spectacular. We felt the sandwiches both were lacking in the amount of meat used. His tea was $3.29. We felt this was a pretty pricey lunch for what we got. They are a bakery also but we didn't try any of the baked goods. There is a coffee bar also but we weren't interested in that. In short, would not return for the prices they charged.

Great donuts but a breakfast/brunch/coffee place that isn't open on Sunday? Seriously? Would get five stars if they were open for Sunday breakfast.

Their spicy ginger chai tea latte is incredible. Friendly staff, lots of pastry and lunch options too!

Excellent new coffee place on Monona Dr. Multiple plug ins, great coffee, excellent food and bakery items. Spacious updated seating areas as well. Come here to study or have business meetings/lunches... You won't be disappointed.

Rosie's is my favorite place to gather with friends. The food and baked goods are as good as my grandma's. The coffee bar is an experience that all coffee lovers have to try. Coz made me a put over that changed my life!

Here is a place that is friendly has phenomenal attention to all they do, and is of great value to the Monona drive area. I had the raised and glazed donut and a cup of individually brewed coffee. It was the highest quality cup of coffee I, personally, have ever had! Oh happy day! The atmosphere is welcoming, comfortable all that you could want.

Fantastic coffee, great service and fresh doughnuts. I've been here twice in as many days and personally think this place has a lot of potential..... Elapsed time.... Ok I come here every time I'm in the neighborhood same great coffee, same great service!
