This spot is def my favorite in New Canaan! It's always busy which is a great sign. The host takes your number and calls when your table is ready which allows you to shop in charming downtown New Canaan.

The ambience is charming and changes periodically by focusing on various artists or decorating for holidays. Always a good cafe vibe though.

I've been going to Rosie for a couple of years now and was surprised I had not written a Yelp review yet. The staff is attentive and friendly. And the owner is almost always on the premises. It always makes me happy when the owners are present.

Today I had the turkey chili which was perfect for this cold January day. One of my favorites is the crispy cauliflower either as an appetizer or as tacos. So good with just the right amount of spice. Rosie isn't afraid of cooking with bold spices which is one of the main reasons I keep coming back. Not spicy hot...just bold flavors. I've had all of the tacos and been happy across the board. The lobster when it's in season is incredible. And I often take a blueberry muffin or a s'mores cookie home with me.

They've handled the pandemic very well. Always wearing masks, socially distant, reduced capacity, disinfecting, hand sanitizer available, etc. they do a very good catering and takeout business as well which is great.

I'm a big fan. Just know that it is going to be busy and there will most likely be a wait. The food isn't fast food. They used to have a saying on the chalkboard that said something to the effect of "Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is your breakfast". But I've always been taught that good things come to those who wait...and Rosie is always worth the wait.

Sumita was my server today and she is always attentive to detail and friendly. Lindsay, Matt, Rob...I've never met a staff member that I didn't like!
