  “I visited here at the beginning of the year and accidentally left another cafe my review. I had to rectify this as soon as I noticed... I couldn't recommend this place enough from the service provided to the delicious food. They were able to cater to my daughter's allergies, treated the kids to a chocolate and even gave my dog a sausage while we ate. I personally haven't experienced service this welcoming before, shall definitely be returning.”

  “The Café Rose is located close enough to Gloucester Quays that it may as well be floating in the dock ⛵️. Don't fret. It isn't. Owned and run by the same family since c.1750 it's well established as one of the premier eateries of Gloucestershire. John Stafford Smith is said to have enjoyed many a cinnamon roll iced latte when he wasn't playing the organ (oo-er, missus. Sounds a bit rude) in the nearby Cathedral. It's likely that he penned The Anacreontic Song 🎵 whilst sitting here, the very piece of music which our American cousins adopted as the tune for their anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner. It's rumoured that locally born Sir Alastair Cook planned batting strategies whilst sitting outside at the back. He felt obliged to sit there so as not to be recognised as his favourite tipple was Yorkshire Tea, which he ate accompanied by a Biscoff and white chocolate cookie. The hostess with the mostest, the delightfully ☺️ wonderful Ella was most welcoming, even though I talk with a Smoogy accent. There was no point during my extended stay that I ever thought she might want to spit at me. The incredible Dan (the main man) was equally friendly. It is he who prepares the tasty (tasty, very very tasty) comestibles. My latte was large and luxurious, didn't have an outstanding swirly but looked the bizzo anyway as it was presented on a Café Rose tray type saucery wooden platter thingy. There are lovely 😍 biscuity and cakey things to enjoy. The hot munchables are made, with love as the main ingredient, to order, and very well presented garnished with green 🥗 stuff, if you want them to be. As a northern bod I firmly believe the only green to appear on a plate 🍽 would be mushy peas. They let me in so naturally they also allow our four-legged friends in too 🌭🦬🐕🐩🐈‍⬛️🦓🐈🐄🐪🐫. This is a must visit venue if you're thirsty or hungry in Gloucester. If you're both hungry AND thirsty go twice!”

  “I was looking for a dog friendly place to have a late breakfast, and Google suggested this place. From the outside it looks underwhelming, but when you walk in, it has a clean homely feel. It’s not very big, a half dozen tables and a long bar table with stools along the window, but what it lacks in size it makes up in quality. It was quiet so I eyed a table right at the rear against the wall, that would keep my dog away from most people who decided to come in and eat. The menu has both traditional and modern style foods so I went for an avocado, halloumi and fried egg on sourdough toast with an oat milk latte. I asked if they would do a couple of sausages for the dog, which they were more than happy to oblige. The latte came on a small wooden tray with the name of the cafe in it, which i thought was a nice touch. Really delicious and creamy coffee at the perfect temperature. The food was beautiful, well presented and so tasty. It was a perfectly cooked egg too (which is a big plus for me). Having halloumi with the avocado added that welcoming salty bite to the whole thing. They don’t skimp on the portions either. It was a perfectly filling breakfast that didn’t leave me wanting. They brought my dog her own paw print bowl of sliced sausages, definitely more than two, and it was enjoyed and gone in seconds 😂. I took a little longer to savour mine. The staff were accommodating and attentive, and unexpected for a little side street cafe. I am already looking forward to my next visit. It should definitely go down as ons of the hidden gems of Gloucester.”

  “Lovely cafe that I visit when getting my car looked at in the garage next door or when I come to the Quays. Staff are always friendly and helpful, and the food is really lovely. I usually have brunch and it's never disappointed. Need to sample the cakes because they look awesome too!”

  “Fantastic full breakfast and great value at just £11.50. Everything served hot, cooked nicely and a very tasty product selection. The restaurant feels warm for a cafe, clean, tidy and comfortable ...even the cans are all facing forward so attention to detail is clearly a priority here. The plates served suitability match the meal ordered and the mugs are decent quality which keep your drinks hot. Finally, the service is great, we were checked on during our meal to ensure all was ok and every customer recieved a friendly "have a nice weekend" as they left.”

  “Absolutely loved the cooked breakfast here! Great value too. I've been looking for a good place to get a cooked breakfast in Gloucester for a while, now I've found it! Warm welcome and a smile as soon as I walked in the door. Ordered a cooked breakfast and coffee, both of which were great.”
