We perform checks on reviews.
Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Rose garden Coffee house was quite busy and possibly it was just unfortunate that there a few hiccups. Our coffee’s were meant to be 1 x small and 1 large flat white, we got 2 medium, did not complain as they were busy. My soup finally came and it tasted quite good - except it was Just Warm, my husbands bacon and eggs he said were very good.

Stopped here to grab a coffee and a light snack while we were passing through on our driving through. We grabbed a couple of toasted sandwiches. Overall the coffee was very well made and milk tempered perfectly. Sometimes you get a coffee at a cafe that is so hot you can't drink it for half an hour. Toasted sandwiches were ok - could have been toasted a little more but that is more a personal taste than a criticism. Staff were friendly and service was prompt so overall not a bad experience.

The prices were a bit high, but we committed to ordering breakfast. We were able to order from the full menu. At $16 my lamb wrap was actually good value and delicious. Other food we ordered was also generous.

I ordered for my husband and I at this cafe, it took a good 30 minutes to get two small melts and coffees the staff were rude, didn’t take names for take away orders so when my order was finally ready all they called out was “two takeaway meals” And the girl that served me just pointed at me. In the midst of COVID-19 they were not social distancing, they were allowing as many people as could fit in this tiny cafe, the lady making the food had long hair in a loose ponytail with no hair net and surprise surprise we found hair in our food, the melts had so much cheese on them that was all you could taste and the chips weren’t even seasoned, the coffee somehow tasted like a terrible mix between instant and coffee that had been burnt to the nth degree, we couldn’t drink it.
Will never go here again. And would not recommend it to anyone!

We ordered the green breakfast and the club chicken burger. The green breakfast was literally just a packet of spinach leaves (some moldy) opened and dumped on the plate with microwaved eggs and toast. Surely they can do fried or poached eggs for $17. The chicken burger was better. Honestly, you’re better going to the maccas next door for these prices.

Tried again for coffee and scones. Saturday morning tourist season no scones.
We had ordered and paid when a very pleasant young man came and advised once again no scones. He offered another choice so we ordered carrot cake and a slice.
Cakes brought out by another staff member and we commented that she needed to let her boss know to bake more scones. Totally ignored us and walked back into cafe.
Same young man brought out our coffee and again apologised. Slice was nice. Carrot cake ‘was so dry you could only eat the icing and the plates must have been just out of the dishwasher because they were warm and the cream was melting into liquid.
Young man who served us should be commended for his pleasant service but will not be back.
Every time we give this place a try it disappoints.

My wife ordered the big bird burger. It was about 20cm high, It was a layer of chicken schnitzel, rocket lettuce, monterey jack cheese, bacon x 3 with some sort of mustard sauce. OMG. Plus a side of Onion rings. The lovely attendant had a laugh with my wife and advised her how big it was before ordering it. Luckily she has a husband who's more than willing to polish off a few left overs. It was one of the best burgers I've ever had and I've had a few. Coffee was delicious. Heaps of parking. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped in on Saturday at 2pm as most other places in town were closed. Good quality food and large kids servings. We had a couple of different chicken burgers and they tasted great with good quality buns. Great for the kids as it is at the rose gardens which have a large playground. Good place for a stop

When putting the coffee on the counter they realised they'd forgotten to get the banana bread off the toaster.... it was burnt black on both sides but they gave it to me anyway. Long wait for coffee and banana bread. Young bloke serving was lovely. The lady saw I was breastfeeding and couldn't bother to walk my coffee to me, left it on the counter for collection.

A good experience. My husband's cappuccino was quite satisfactory. Our $11 chicken, avocado and cheese melts were nice and filling. The service was quick. Because of the bad reviews we spoke to a few tables and locals said the food is always good. I am not sure if the negative reviews are warranted???

Wanted fish n chips but was told fish was frozen, so ordered Schnitzel. Terrible - Overcooked and dry meat which definitely was a frozen food.
Should have ordered a salad at least that was fresh.
These days the emphasis is on fresh quality food unfortunately this cafe does not meet this standard.

Thought we would stop for coffee and cake, what a terrible mistake this was. Firstly the person who served us was very unfriendly, secondly ordered what was ordered as a gluten free cake for hubby, which obviously wasn’t as he was very ill a couple of hours later. So ill, thought I would have to take him to the local hospital. So coeliacs beware, don’t take the chance, not worth it. Very disappointing. When will eateries take these dietary issues seriously.

We stopped in for a lunch and had a mix of meals including a lamb wrap, toasted sandwiches and quiche. All meals were delicious and the drinks - coffee and milkshakes were excellent. The staff were helpful and the food quickly prepared.

Can only comment on the coffee I purchased yesterday but it was one of the worst cappuccinos I have ever had. It was insipid and overheated. I could have gone next door to McDs but thought give the cafe a go. The staff were all unsmiling and clearly not happy to work. Will never go there again.
