    First time visit to Morning Rose, and will def be back! Everyone was kind and attentive, from the hostess who greeted and sat us, to the waiter and bussers. Too many things looked good on the menu but we ended up with the lemon blueberry pancakes, which were huge, fluffy and delicious! Super lemon-y. Corned beef hash on the side was one point and had great flavor. We also ordered the croque monsieur. It was huge, filled w ham, cheese, a spicy mustard and very saucy! Would order each of these again but can't wait to try other menu items on our next visit! Signing up for the "wait-list" online was super easy. We arrived at the early end of our estimated time and had to wait about 15 mins to be sat after checking in. It was easy and will now be on our breakfast rotation!

    Waitlist is necessary due to the layout of the place!!! It’s busy but it didn’t feel crowded at all. Staff were extremely friendly! I went with my partner and as soon as we got seated, we were served with complimentary muffins with the tastiest raspberry jam. I ordered eggs Benedict and my partner ordered a turkey melt. For drinks, I got the bottomless iced coffee and my partner was happily sipping on his cranberry mimosa which he also wished to be bottomless. We were looking at everyone’s order and food since everything looked amazing, including our own food :) Wish I could put in 6 outta 5 stars because this place is great! Highly recommend it to those who are looking for a nice breakfast/brunch spot. But before you, you must get yourself on the waitlist and the waitlist time is pretty accurate too.

    I stumbled upon this small but incredibly cute café, and I’m so glad I did! The star of the menu has to be the fire waffles and chicken crispy, savory, and perfectly paired with fluffy waffles that had the perfect touch of sweetness. It’s comfort food at its finest, and the portion sizes are just right. The hot chocolate? Out of this world just what you need to warm your soul. Service was fast and friendly, making the experience even better. If you’re looking for a cozy spot with fantastic food, you need to check this place out!

    My favorite local breakfast spot. I frequent it at least 5-7x a year. Could be more but …you know, the economy. The food is fresh. The food is delicious. I love the complimentary mini muffins in the beginning with homemade jams. The muffins are different every time because it’s the chefs special. You can really tell that the chef takes his time and puts a lot of thought into the menu and specials. The menu changes by season which is exciting because you don’t know what new dishes they will come up with. My favorite dish is the gnocchi bowl. Whenever I have family that visits, they know I’m treating them to a morning of Morning Rose Cafe which excites them! The place is small but that’s what makes it special. It’s cozy and warm. The wait service is kind. There’s also a kind young person who I haven’t figured out if she’s the owner because she’s everywhere making sure the restaurant is running. Smoothly. I really like this person. They’re so sweet. Anyway. Go go go. I’d advise when you’re about 5 minutes away, to go on the website and join the wait list. Wait times can vary depending on time of day.

    First off I wanna say that the wait here is pretty long on weekends. So be prepared to take a good portion out of your morning/day. The staff overall is friendly and joyful. When you are seated they give you complimentary mini muffins with jam. We ended up getting the Biscuits & Gravy, the Crispy Bites and an order of Fries. Let's start off with the Biscuits & Gravy: the dish comes with FOUR biscuits, sausage gravy, TWO sausage links, TWO eggs and a roasted tomatoe. The biscuits are so fluffy that make the perfect base for the gravy. The gravy lacks no flavor and has plenty of sausage bits. The eggs were perfectly well made and are some of the best eggs I've had. The sausage links pair well with the dish. And the additional roasted tomatoe is a nice touch which is well paired with everything on the plate. Now the Crispy Bites are little french toast bites that come with strawberries, blue berries, syrup and whip cream. For my personal palet they could've used a bit more of a cinnamon taste, the egg was more of what I could taste. Not overpowering just slightly above of what I would've liked. But still and enjoyable and unique dish. The fries were a huge portion and were crispy and fluffy. Now, yes, the prices are...well a bit pricey. BUT you get what you pay for. The portions are huge and the food is great. So for me, the price is justified.

    Always a pleasure dining at Morning Rose - The only issue I've had here is parking situation isn't ideal, and as it's a small place... the wait can be irritating. Otherwise, inventive and scrumptious meals - large portions. Friendly staff who've been there for years. Bright and welcoming environment, however a little tight at times depending on where you're sitting. Very highly recommended.
