Rosa

19180 Grand River Ave, Ferndale, MI

★★★★★4.7(217 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Rosa is a cozy neighborhood gem in Ferndale where the vibe feels like visiting a friend's living room, complete with chill music and genuinely warm staff who remember your name. Beyond solid traditional espresso drinks, they're known for creative specialty beverages like their lavender lattes that keep locals ditching their Starbucks runs, and the space works equally well for lingering solo with a laptop or catching up with family over coffee. It's the kind of place where the owner's dad greets you kindly and hosts community events, making every visit feel less transactional and more like you're part of something real.

I wanted to love this place. Over the past two years it has been in my neighborhood I have been a handful of time. The first time I went I was disappointed by the lack of cold brew but they managed to pull some decent espresso shots. Over the past two years the quality has declined drastically. The last time went in I ordered 4 shots over ice thinking this is an easy order... I was wrong. The shots where undrinkable. It truly makes me sad as someone who has seen this location change hands many times over the years. I want to support the local shop but as someone with a background in coffee I can't justify spending $6-$8 on something undrinkable. I have not stopped in since they closed for winter but I hope they have made adjustments. The industry is hard and there is no shortage of quality shops in the city even if they are more of a drive than a few blocks.

I'm so glad I found this cute, comfortable cafe. The ambiance and music were perfect, and the service was excellent. Roni was so cool and helpful, and the owner's dad was so sweet and kind. He gave me a history lesson on grandma Rosa and how she was the first Black resident in North Rosedale Park. I will definitely be back and will plan to throw an event there as well.

Another place that I’ve driven by a million times. I was invited To the key4women event and the ambiance was amazing. Great opportunity to network and make some great professional connections. I did order a mimosa and it was great. Great customer service and very clean atmosphere. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

This is the cutest little coffee shop and I'm so glad they're in the neighborhood! No more Starbucks stops for me. I came in on a Sunday after church and got the most delicious flavorful lavender latte. It was roasty and perfectly sweet with tons of lavender flavor. Yum! I can't wait to try their other flavors. They also have cocktails! This would be a great place to meet up after work - it's really cute inside with nice seating and vibey music. They stay open a bit later on Thursday and Friday nights - I may have to return soon to check out their food offerings. Such a pleasant experience I wish to repeat often.

I just went with my daughter to visit because she recommended and I loved it! The ambiance is so cozy, coffee is delicious, their music is so chill and the service was beyond beautiful. We ordered the turkey sandwich and it was very yummy. I totally recommend this place. ♥️
