Roselane Cafe and Bakery — Restaurant in Melbourne

Disappointing Experience – Did We Come at the Wrong Time?

Perhaps my expectations were too high after seeing all the beautiful photos and glowing reviews for Roselane Cafe and Bakery. Unfortunately, my visit didn’t live up to the hype.

I arrived at noon, and most of the bakery items were already sold out. With limited options left, I decided on one of their last plain croissants. However, after paying, they forgot to give me the croissant. They did finally after I asked them about it. But the croissant tasted stale and not fresh at all. I then decided to try something else since I was still hungry, but the experience got a little frustrating.

I asked a waiter about the omelette listed on the menu board, which didn’t have a price. She told me it was $20—$20 for just eggs? Naturally, I decided against ordering it. I then asked about the soup of the day, which was also listed on the board, but the waiter seemed completely unaware of it and eventually said they don’t offer soup. This left me confused—why advertise it on the board if it isn’t available?

My partner ordered a wrap, which he found to be quite ordinary and unremarkable. The coffee, however, was good and up to Melbourne’s high standards, so that’s one positive.

The atmosphere didn’t match the cozy and inviting vibe promoted in the online photos. Again, maybe we just came at the wrong time, but the entire experience—from the limited options to the lack of clarity from staff—fell far short of the raving reviews I had read.

Overall, I left feeling disappointed and wouldn’t rush back...

RoseLane Bakery is an absolute gem! I visited yesterday and enjoyed a perfect coffee paired with a chocolate croissant that was out of this world. The croissant was freshly made, so tender, and melted in my mouth—truly magical! The entire experience was elevated by the super friendly staff and the lovely, calming atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, with its peaceful decor and great lighting.

A special shoutout to the owner, Maryam, who is as delightful as her baked goods. She starts baking at 5 AM, and you can taste the love and dedication in every bite. The freshness of the croissants, rolls, and everything else is unparalleled. If you're looking for the best bakery experience, RoseLane Bakery is the place to be. Five...

Roselane bakery is an absolute gem! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the rich, inviting aroma of freshly ground coffee beans. The baristas here really know their craft — every cup is brewed with precision, and the flavor is consistently outstanding. Whether it’s a smooth, velvety latte or a bold, perfectly balanced espresso, the quality is second to none.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends. What sets this café apart is the attention to detail: the service is friendly and efficient, the coffee presentation is always on point, and you can tell there’s genuine passion behind everything they serve.

If you love coffee, this is the place you’ll want to keep coming back to. Highly...
