"Cafe Roze is kinda crunchy, kinda mellow, and preternaturally cool—basically, the Kate Hudson of the Nashville brunch scene. It feels like grabbing a post-hangover meal somewhere in Brooklyn (shout out to the stack of New Yorker mags at the door). Except, you’re in East Nashville, so the upwardly mobile artist vibe makes sense. Leave the group hang for another spot: the space is small, but it’s just right for an intimate conversation with two or three friends over a quinoa-lentil bowl topped with turmeric-soaked eggs, a plate of stout waffles with mascarpone spread, and an espresso martini or a ginger lemongrass sipping broth." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
