Rosie, in my opinion, is hands down one of the best brunch spots in AKL, with not only consistently top-notch quality but also very interesting flavours that are definitely not your typical basic cafe foods. Idk why it took me so long but I finally tried dinner here the other day & was 💯 mind blown 🤯💘.
• 𝘼𝙢𝙗𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚: The place has glass walls = heaps of sunshine ☀️ = amazing lighting for photos 📸during the day time! At night the hanging halo garland chandelier above the centre of the dining floor is lit up, giving off serious romantic vibes.
• 𝙏𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚: Tbh Rosie’s menu can be a bit confusing - as if they just put random fancy ingredients names tgt & call it a day 😒- BUT don’t be put off & just trusttt that the dishes taste way more impressive than they sound 🤪
𝕊𝕒𝕧𝕠𝕦𝕣𝕪: The star of the night has to be the 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝘽𝙚𝙚𝙛, 𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙨, 𝙨𝙠𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙖, 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 - the beef 🥩 literally melts in your mouth & the umami truffle butter really gives it extra oomph! (𝚙𝚕𝚜 𝚐𝚎𝚝 𝚘𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚊 𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚏 𝚢𝚘𝚞’𝚛𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚏𝚏𝚕𝚎 𝚋𝚞𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚒𝚗 𝚊𝚗𝚢 𝚠𝚊𝚢 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝’𝚜 𝚗𝚘𝚝 𝚏𝚘𝚘𝚍-𝚛𝚎𝚕𝚊𝚝𝚎𝚍 𝚋𝚌 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚝’𝚜 𝚏𝚞𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚍𝚒𝚜𝚐𝚞𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐) The 𝙃𝙖𝙬𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝘽𝙖𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙛 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙚𝙠 𝙠𝙞𝙗𝙗𝙚𝙝, 𝙯𝙝𝙪𝙜, 𝙮𝙤𝙜𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 is one giant meatball that’s crispy on the outside & packed with succulent beefy yummy goodness on the inside. The 𝘼𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞, 𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙝𝙞, 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙖 is both sumptuous & loaded with flavor. We also ordered some 𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙚𝙨 🥔, 𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙘 🧄- veggies, but naughty 🥰.
𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕤𝕖𝕣𝕥:
This is where the naming really gets me. The 𝙍𝙝𝙪𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙗, 𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙙, 𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖 is a dazzling deconstructed version of the rhubarb custard pie 🥧 though my dumb ass really be expecting a stalk of rhubarb, a spoonful of custard & a vanilla bean on the side - which really does this dish a disservice bc it truly is a work of art. The 𝙁𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙝𝙚, 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙚 is luckily quite literal, featuring the 2 said delicious duos with a little bit of golden honey 🍯 drizzled on top. The Vanilla 𝙂𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙖𝙮 🍨, served with delicately spiced poached pears 🍐 with a drizzle of rich chocolate sauce 🍫 over top, is so elegant & classy it puts all the sundaes out there to shame.
𝔻𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕜𝕤: Whether it be 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙡, 𝙝𝙤𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙘𝙤 is a must-try here. It always comes with a glass of frothy milk 🥛 & a jug of rich chocolate ganache 🍫 for you to pour through your drink. (They used to have homemade marshmallows which were such a hit but have now been replaced with boring store-bought marshmallows *cringe* - totally not judging if you’re into that tho, 𝘛𝘖𝘛𝘈𝘓𝘓𝘠). The 𝙅𝙖𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙖 🍹is also a great drink that’s refreshing & sweet but not cloying.
• 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚: Service is excellent & staff are super accommodating. My sparkling water always gets topped up as soon as it reaches halfway (you can always opt for tap water if sparkling is not ur thing 🤪).

🌟 5/5!!!
The service and ambiance it’s good for a cafeteria. The food came fast and hot. The place was crowded with people but not annoyingly which is nice to see. The only thing I disliked was the flavour of my omelette. Was to watery. Also I added pancetta as an extra and I got 1 very thin overcooked stripe.
Sunday brunch at Rosie’s is always my fav. I love the cosy spot, cheerful service and above all clean flavours. Today i explored the vege menu:
1) Tomatoes, puffed rice, avocado and pecorino- a very balanced dish with freshness from the tomatoes, nuttiness from the puffed rice and creaminess from the avo and pecorino cheese.
2) Asparagus, macadamia, ras el hanout- the asparagus was surprisingly sweet and had a good bite to it. Would have loved a bit more macadamia flavour coming through.
3) Cauliflower, Chickpea fritters, malt chèvre- my favourite of the three. Fritters were fluffy and full of flavour,
I came here for lunch with my boyfriend because I remember having the scampi pasta and it was really good. The location is really nice and the atmosphere was very lively. The service was fast and efficient but the food took a while to come out because it was the busiest time when we went. I got the pulled pork sausage for a change and he got the omelette with pancetta. My pulled pork sausage was really delicious, the sausage was flavoured nicely and the ingredients used was fresh and pulled the dish together. I highly recommend Rosie for brunch/lunch because it's a cafe away from the main street of Parnell so you also have a local neighbourhood feel to it!
Good muffin! They gave butter on wrong plate so me and my friends had to swaped ourself and there was no sugar sticks on the table(not a big deal). They keep filles the glass with sparkling water and taste good to stay long. Dates muffin was very nice and good place to spend time.
A really nice place with a nice atmosphere. I came here for my friend’s birthday a while back and I decided to come again for my own birthday. They were very accommodating and the staff was always friendly. They serve sparkling water and give you heaps of refills.
The lamb shoulder with flatbread is my favourite. The lamb is super tender and everything is delicious, although I wish there was a couple more pieces of flatbread with it. My friends got the clam pasta and really liked it too.
Same high quality food as other Hip Group places. Service was good, our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu, able to give recommendations . Downside was that it was too warm and stuffy inside, tables a bit too close together. A been there done that experience for me.
Had a nice Saturday brunch up here a few weeks back. Had one of my go to's - poached eggs with a side of bacon and sourdough. Food was good, service was good. It was a little cramped and hot with the sun pouring in (see photo). Solid 4.

Always wanted to visit here when we stumbled upon this restaurant back then. We finally had a chance to have dinner here. Atmosphere was pretty romantic. The food was great, especially the fish. The tagliatelle was pretty nice too. The apple peppermint malt was yummy. The hot chocolate was our less favorite, but still good. Service was friendly.
I like rosie. It belongs to hip group. Their cafes all have same standard. Maybe the presentation is not beautiful. But the food ingredients created great. If you want old fashion traditional food you could not miss it.

Great little gem of a cafe in Parnell facing the park. We liked the atmosphere, the service and the coffee. A nice touch to keep adding sparkling water to keep hydrated. The big breakfast we ordered was great but the value for money was off in our opinion. The green smoothie was well presented and tasty.
Loved this place. A great space. The taste combinations were fantastic. Staff was wonderful. Great value for the quality of food.
We had a brunch at Rosie's and we would definitely go there again! There was something for everyone, whether you wanted something sweet and delicious from the cabinet, or a more substantial, hearty breakfast. The pastries and cakes were delectable and the savoury meals were just as good too. Service was extremely attentive and both the head waitress and table waiter were lovely and welcoming. Right next to the rose gardens so a great place to head for something to eat after a walk!
Love it!! Near at the parnell hotel.their pancake i love it so much.
Can try their salted caramel chocolate.
We were staying up the road and decided to check Rosie's out. At 1:30pm we felt like some of the breakfast meals and it was not a problem.
Service was excellent as was the meals presentation and mix. Great coffee also. Definitely make it a regular in future travels.
We only went to the coffee bar and bakery, but these were some of the most delicious Pattie’s we’ve ever had. We ordered almond croissants and pain au chocolat, and it’s probably best for our health that we don’t live nearby! Everything is made for takeaway here, so we weren’t sure whether it was ok to drink our coffee and eat our pastries in this light, airy place at the great big table.
Delicious food with fresh ingredients! Highly recommend the muesli especially with honeycomb. Scrumptious dish! The restaurant also have a selection of tasty freshly squeezed juice options - be sure to order without ice so it’s not as watered down! In the summer, the relaxed seating outside the restaurant is a cute spot to relax.
Rosie never fails to impress. It's expensive (there's no way around it) but worth it for a high-quality but informal dining experience. Also not too noisy and a pleasant place to sit.
Next door to the main restaurant is a separate café for coffees and takeaway snacks and lunch items. Pricey but excellent.
Absolutely love their food. I have been here many times. This week I hosted there 20 guests for dinner who haven’t been there before and most were from abroad and Wellington. All loved the food and service. Most returned for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day. I highly recommend this restaurant.
WOW!! The food was incredible. Every bite was soooo flavourful. If I could lick my plate clean afterwards, I would. Instead, I tried my best to scrape off every single sauce from the plate with my food. 💯 recommend. Humble looking cafe but food and service were on point!
