I’m so impressed. The salad was very clean. Baby spinach, strawberries and chicken with a sesame dressing was delicious. The place is very clean and neat and the staff is so friendly and helpful. They bring your food but you manage your own drinks. I recommend this place and will be back soon.

This little “off the beaten path”, Hidden Gem, is consistently one of the greatest spots to grab lunch.Not only is the food, fresh, delicious and priced correctly – the service is over the top. Nick has done a spectacular job of providing the two elements that make restaurants fall into the Fantastic Category - Food and Service; it sounds so simple, yet it is extremely hard to provide both of them on a consistent basis!!!The menu varies constantly, and he does a spectacular job of adding new and exciting entrées to the menu all of the time. The girls that take your order are just the BEST, always willing to go out of their way to accommodate your every request, if at all possible. The bus- boys do a great job of clearing dishes from your table, the minute you are finished with your meal. And last, but not least - definitely the Cooks that prepare, put together, and handover there Creations, do a remarkable job and should be thanked profusely!!!If you have not eaten here yet, do yourself a favor and give it a shot. Entrées come with one side dish I believe, and the bread can easily double as dessert; It is “over the top” in taste.Ask for Nick, he’s a Great Guy and will go out of his way to help you in anyway he can…????????????✅✅✅??????♥️♥️♥️

The California Panini was amazing! The cooks obviously take pride here. Not just great ingredients but also prepared to perfection.

The staff is always so friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and priced just right. Easy and convenient parking. And the zucchini bread is to die for and the soups are delicious.

Got the Kansas City stack sandwich and the lobster bisque soup combo. With a side of zucchini bread. All of it was fantastic. Service was great, they even gave me an oatmeal raisin cookie since it was my first time there.

I have been coming here for several years. There is nothing negative to say about Cafe Rose Express. I do wish they were open more hours and days, but everything else is great quality. The food is delicious every time and extremely fresh. The zucchini bread is worth the trip itself. Great staff!
