Great little gem of a cafe in Parnell facing the park. We liked the atmosphere, the service and the coffee. A nice touch to keep adding sparkling water to keep hydrated. The big breakfast we ordered was great but the value for money was off in our opinion. The green smoothie was well presented and tasty.

Absolutely love their food. I have been here many times. This week I hosted there 20 guests for dinner who haven’t been there before and most were from abroad and Wellington. All loved the food and service. Most returned for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Sitting outside in the Winter sunshine with a wonderful Navy friend on a Sunday. Had my little dog with me. I read the reviews a few days earlier and had already zoomed in on the pancakes with bacon. Absolutely superb and wonderful friendly folks walking past with their dogs and those enjoying breakfast at Rosie. Easy 5 stars all round. Friendly youngster's as wait staff. I'll be back. Thank you.

We had a brunch at Rosie's and we would definitely go there again! There was something for everyone, whether you wanted something sweet and delicious from the cabinet, or a more substantial, hearty breakfast. The pastries and cakes were delectable and the savoury meals were just as good too. Service was extremely attentive and both the head waitress and table waiter were lovely and welcoming. Right next to the rose gardens so a great place to head for something to eat after a walk!

Rosie never fails to impress. It's expensive (there's no way around it) but worth it for a high-quality but informal dining experience. Also not too noisy and a pleasant place to sit. Next door to the main restaurant is a separate café for coffees and takeaway snacks and lunch items. Pricey but excellent.

We only went to the coffee bar and bakery, but these were some of the most delicious Pattie’s we’ve ever had. We ordered almond croissants and pain au chocolat, and it’s probably best for our health that we don’t live nearby! Everything is made for takeaway here, so we weren’t sure whether it was ok to drink our coffee and eat our pastries in this light, airy place at the great big table.
