“Rose Hill Café in Cardiff is fantastic. The coffee is excellent every time. Rich, smooth, and clearly made by people who care about the craft. You can tell they use quality beans and know how to brew them right — no bitterness, no shortcuts. The food is just as great. Everything we’ve ordered has been fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor. You can taste that it’s made with good ingredients and real attention to detail, not just thrown together. Portions are generous and it always hits the spot. The café itself has a cozy, welcoming feel. Service is friendly without being overbearing, and you’re made to feel at home whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for brunch. If you’re in Cardiff and want a place that does both coffee and food really well, Rose Hill Café is it. Already planning our next visit.”

“Affordable fish tacos. The prices slowly are creeping up though. As of now they are 1.39. They used to be .99. Then 1.25. Still a well worthy treat ill go out of my way to get. You can feed a family for early 2000's prices. Most likely going to wait 15 to 30 min if busy. Understandable.”

You can tell this team puts a lot of heart and soul into what they are sharing with our community. One of the best parts, the elixirs! Don't skip the drinks. I like to go with 1 other person to make sharing easy and intentional. Get one of everything, but especially the Turkish eggs, anything with steak, the panna cotta bowl, and Shrimp and grits”

“We had a great dining experience at Urban Plates in Long Beach. Mariana explained the menu choices in a very unrushed manner, and we decided on the steak. I ordered the Chimichurri grass-fed steak with balsamic brussel sprouts and herb-roasted potatoes. All of it was delicious ( and healthy too!). The deserts were absolutely killer too. We will definitely eat here again next time we're in Long Beach.”
