"The Rose Establishment has always been a small, casual breakfast joint where you would find skiers wearing beanies and people who stalk the farmers market for stew fixings. Then, in 2021, it expanded into its previous neighbor’s space, adding a full-service weekend brunch option that’s a total crowdpleaser. If you’re still riding the avocado toast train, you’ll find a new favorite in the cafe—it has roasted mushroom “cream cheese,” zaatar, and a smoked jalapeño vinaigrette. When you’re ordering from the full-service brunch side, get the Caramel Apple Streusel Waffle topped with cinnamon whipped cream, or breakfast tacos filled with scrambled eggs, roasted corn, poblano peppers, and pickled jalapeno crema. Make sure you grab some of the sea salt chocolate chip cookies to go before heading home to fire up the Crockpot." - Jenny Willden
