St Rose

Fantastic coffee and simple but tasty food. I really enjoyed my time here. The only downside was that the waitstaff were too attentive! Within 10 minutes of sitting we had 6 people come to our table. Three different people asking for our coffee order (noting we ordered already) and three others to order main meals. It was too much.

Amazing food and coffee! Ice long black was well balanced and the juice we had was so refreshing, wanted to get the recipe for it. The sashimi bowl was legendarily tasty with enough sashimi and other ingredients, also the schnitzel wrap was pretty impressive especially the chips with it was bar far the best!!!!

St Rose use the dark horse blend for house coffee☕️ I love their coffee😊 After both sides of tables got their meals faster than we ordered first, we asked how far is our meal. They brought us our dishes within 1 min of followup but the dishes were cold🥶 My hubby👨‍🍳 said they must left our meals on the bench too long and he returned his cold egg dish. I ate my salmon dish cold without return. The stubborn dishonest attitude of old lady staff👨‍🦱 towards my hubby, I would assume she would argue with me and will ruin my day if I also returned mine. The sourdough bread became harder than usual hard sourdough bread but she denied and said it is normal. I couldn't cut stone bread and chewed it. Once 🍞 it gets cold after toasted and leave it too long, it becomes tough. The cold dish tells the truth but she cheated without apology. I definitely didn't enjoy my dish. The hubby's dish came back very freshly made and hot. The new Sourdough bread 🍞 wasn't hard (of course) and he was able to cut unlike before. Coffee barista and chef are very good👍😃

🥬 Golden Keto Eggs 🌶 Chilli Scrambled Eggs St Rose was founded by a husband and wife duo in 2013 and has been a go to spot for most in the Essendon area. The cafe is always buzzing busy however I have never struggled to get a table. They have a pretty great menu which caters to a slightly healthier customer but also the sweet tooth. Ngl I gave my partner a funny look when he chose to order something so simple as the Golden Keto Eggs but he enjoyed it and he felt good eating good 🍃 Even though I really wanted to try their famous Lemon Meringue Porridge, I ended up going more savoury with my favourite Chilli Scrambled Eggs. I was happy with my decision, it was delicious with a good kick of chilli as well as chorizo, broccoli and pesto folded in (however this has since changed). They also have a pretty big drink selection of smoothies (protein ones too), thick shakes, freshly squeezed juices and of course coffees. I highly recommend the Oreo Thickshake, it so good, not too sweet.

Such a lovely cafe to visit! Loved the colour theme and pretty decor. My partner and I came here on a Friday afternoon and the cafe was busy! Always a fantastic sign. We shared the absolutely epic Cereal Offender Pancakes. Wow.. milo pancakes! Say no more. We also had the Sautéed Greens and Eggs Benny which were both delicious and packed with flavour. Shout out to the super friendly staff!

Here for breakfast. Come early as it fills up fast. Açai bowls tasty. I’m told the breakfast roll was good - would have preferred the egg to be runny/ooze out. Coffee nice, but a bit too Luke warm for my preference. Came again nice & early for Mother’s Day. Breakfast was great. Açai bowl minus banana , eggs Benedict, lemon meringue porridge & strawberry & cream (mascarpone) buttermilk pancakes.

You won’t find a more convenient location for a cafe, other than where St Rose cafe is currently at. Just take a few steps out from Essendon station and you will find this cosy cafe with friendly staff and delicious dishes on offer What we ordered: Salmon & The Rye Perfectly cooked salmon fillets with a really delicious combination of pesto and cream cheese on a crusty rye bread. It was instantly my favourite dish of the day! Mexican Fritters - tasty corn fritters with a bit of jalapeno kick and perfectly poached egg to match. Yummy! Cereal Offenders Pancakes It is probably more on the heavy side for a pancake, but the crunch from the cereals, the smoothness from the ice cream & thenother toppings did help to cut through that density. We also really enjoyed the refreshing smoothies we had: Mango Breeze Smoothie Tropicola Looking forward to try their new dishes in the near future. Highly recommended cafe to have brunch on weekends!

St Rose is such a great cafe with really good service. My friend and I visited recently and we shared the berry good waffles, eggs benny and the sushi bowl. All 3 dishes were tasty and looked divine, all the ingredients fresh and good quality. Our coffees hit the spot, perfectly made and exactly what we needed first thing in the morning. The menu here is fantastic with different options to choose from. Thanks for having us, we had a wonderful time.
