Charlie's Café at Rosemary
46 N Barrett Square #101, Santa Rosa Beach, FL
Crema's Take
“Charlie's Café at Rosemary is a casual daytime spot that does exceptional pastries and breakfast items when they're firing on all cylinders, though consistency seems to be their Achilles heel. You'll find genuine highlights here—standout donuts, solid sandwiches, and fresh breakfast wraps—but the experience hinges on timing and what you order, with some customers raving while others encounter watery espresso drinks and uninspired flavor execution. It's the kind of place worth a try for a quick pastry run or brunch, just temper expectations given the mixed service quality and occasional misses on specialty drinks.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

DELICIOUS!!! Came for lunch and I'm so glad we did! I got the Rosemary Sandwich and my husband got the breakfast wrap. We also got a coffee and Italian soda. Everything was fantastic and we will definitely be back!
We went for donuts. One of the best sprinkled donuts ever! Staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. No labels on the donuts to let you know what is available, and the guy helping me had a hard time explaining what was available. At one point I asked if they had any of certain type of…
Our group went here for ice cream on a summer weekend after seeing the huge line at the place across the street. Everyone was happy with their ice cream. I was excited to be able to grab a can of kombucha from their fridge.
