Rosalia's Cafe
615 Nostrand Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Rosalia's is a lively Brooklyn breakfast and coffee spot where the energy matches the whir of commercial-grade blenders crafting specialty drinks, and where a well-executed cappuccino and thoughtfully-made omelets keep regulars coming back. The casual, comfortable vibe works equally well for a quick grab-and-go cold brew or settling in with a friend over a leisurely breakfast, with both indoor and outdoor seating to suit your mood. While food quality can be inconsistent, the best days here capture that sweet spot of genuine hospitality and reasonable prices that makes it feel like a neighborhood staple.”

I ordered a Café Mocha for delivery and had a very disappointing experience. The drink was supposed to include French vanilla flavoring and whipped cream, which was clearly shown in the item description and photo online. What I received was just a plain, flavorless coffee with none of the listed additions. At first, I wasn’t upset. Mistakes happen, and I simply tried to reach out to have the order corrected. Unfortunately, it was impossible to contact the restaurant by phone as no one answered. I was forced to go through a third-party chat, and after they (sauce) contacted the restaurant, I was told the order was correct and that they refused any refund or replacement. I wasn’t even asking for compensation. I just wanted the drink I originally ordered. I’ve ordered from this restaurant many times in the past and had no issues, so I expected better customer service. Instead, I felt dismissed and brushed aside. Because of what I experienced & the lack of accountability, I won’t be ordering/supporting a restaurant with bad customer service (#1 pet peeve bc common courtesy is not that hard) . I don’t feel comfortable supporting a business that won’t answer the phone or take responsibility when something goes wrong.
To charge $7.89 for a BLT that is 90% lettuce and tomatoes is felonious behavior. If I wanted a salad I would have went to Sweetgreen. I can't even tell you if the 1.5 half strips of bacon that I did have were good, they were drowned in iceberg lettuce.
Great spot to grab a coffee or one of the many drink options available in the cooler. Very comfortable and casual inside with both indoor and outdoor seating. Great service and reasonable prices. Would return here, though I will mention their latte is quite a bit sweet, I would appreciate if they did with a bit less sugar.
Service was quick and efficient. The cappuccino was on point…I asked for some cinnamon on top. I ordered the veggie omelette with pepper jack cheese. The food was tasty. This is a place I will come back to for breakfast. They have tables inside and outside. They have street parking only. Came back to this place, and this time to try the French toast with scrambled eggs and well done bacon. Food was tasty and the bacon on point #crispy 🙌🏼
Super popular place with great food and service, was lucky to grab a table to enjoy my breakfast at. The high powered vitamix commercial blenders sing amongst the hustle and bustle of Nostrand Ave while talented cooks quickly assemble breakfast meals to fuel the residents of crown heights
