It took us about 10 minutes to get to order our food, and another 40 minutes for it to come out. Once it came out, the food was noticeably fresh and warm, which made it worth the wait for me! I loved the Mochanut Crunch Espresso as well. I got a side salad instead of chips with my sandwich, and it was very memorable. I appreciate when dining facilities make an effort to do more for a side salad than lettuce. I was pleased that there was an assortment of vegetables upon a bed of spinach.
Overall I will be returning for a relaxing weekend lunch, when I’m not in a rush to go somewhere afterwards.
We were on our way to another place that supposedly had lots of parking but found none. Another search and Rosewood popped up so off we went.
This restaurant used to be a neighborhood grocery store. The restaurant owners kept many fixtures, like the door to the meat cooler, the original cash register, and one set of floor to ceiling glass folding doors.
We were seated immediately, handed menus and a covered carafe of cold water. The drinking glasses are Ball canning jars.
I thought it was odd that we weren’t offered coffee, so when our server came to take our order I asked about coffee. Ray and I ended up ordering mocha espressos, which were quite good.
The breakfast menu was very unique, right down to a breakfast salad which I have never seen before. Ray and I each ordered the Sunrise Skillet. Ray had his with sausage. I chose bacon. Both of us chose to have scrambled eggs. Toast is not included, nor offered, so I requested it. Ray asked for wheat toast which they do not serve. We each ordered sourdough. I am glad we each ordered toast because the side was one piece. When served, we had to request jam.
Our breakfasts arrived, hot and made to order. The flavors were incredible and complemented one another. While green hot sauce was on the table, (my preferred), there was no need for condiments!!
Our servings were large enough for us to each take about half home.
The next table arrived for lunch. Listening to them discuss some of the menu items intrigued me enough to want to go back.
This is a very cute, quaint little neighborhood restaurant in a beautiful area, of the original part of north Tacoma. There is decent parking and outdoor dining in nicer weather.
The service was prompt, professional, and kind the owner, Amanda, is an absolute delight. Sweet and bubbly, she took my dietary needs into account with her recommendations and I was NOT disappointed! I ordered a hot Chai latte, a tuna melt, and coleslaw. The veggies were perfectly crisp and seasoned, the chai was mellow, warm and spicy. The tuna melt BLEW. MY. MIND.
Beautifully grilled, warm, salty, and fresh. The cheese was exactly as melty as I wanted it to be and the capers in the tuna were a genius addition.
Can’t recommend this place highly enough! Definitely one to revisit

Service was chaotic and disorganized … staff didn’t know their own menu, was confused as to who was serving our table at all, didn’t seem to understand timing and generally were not around.
Ordered an Italian sub and a salad to split, they offered to split it for us which was nice. Food arrived looking lackluster at best. An Italian with with veggies too big to fit in your mouth, no oil and vinegar (which we asked extra of) and a giant stem of pepper, it was tiny, badly cut and not at all an Italian sub. We asked before we ordered if the coleslaw was vinegar or mayo based and was told vinegar. It was mayo… a heavy handed dose of mayo.
We asked extra sides and had to wait a very long time for them and the oil and vinegar she brought out the salad dressing not sub style. Confusing?
Had to asked for the bill at the counter and then my friend ended up getting up herself to get it anyway.
It’s a bummer, super disappointing for a local place.
Amanda was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. She worked meticulously to ensure our party was perfectly tailored to our theme. She accommodated every request we had, handling details like seating arrangements, menu selection, and bringing a custom hot cocoa bar to life. The seasonal decorations at the café provided the exact cozy bistro ambiance we were looking for.
For anyone planning a special event who wants to collaborate with a professional who genuinely cares about your ideas and needs, you must contact Amanda. She truly works magic, and you will not be disappointed!
