Damask Rose

After I dropped my Vespa off for repair at Rockridge Two Wheels, my daughter and I walked down to Damask Rose for a coffee. What a pleasant surprise to find this shop! I love all the roses inside and the place feels comfortable and cozy. Both the pastries and coffees were excellent and I ate my food so fast, I forgot to take a photo of it first. Oops. My daughter had a chai something and although it made me gag, she said it was fabulous. Five stars!! Michael Delehanty Compass Real Estate

This cafe hits all the right notes. There are already many photos of the place and the atmosphere is quiet, relaxing, and rejuvenating. The drip coffee is robust with a nice taste profile. I ordered the lentil soup for my breakfast. The soup was comforting, and well balanced. It felt clean, nourishing, and delightful to the taste buds. If you need a place to relax and watch the cars go by, come here!

Got the kashmiri chai latte. Very tasty. Nice little cafe that squeezes in a lot of seating for such a small space. Also some tables outside. Nice decor all around and a large drink/food menu.

Truly, what is better than baklava and coffee?! Nothing? This place is great! Delicious coffee, tasty rose lemonade, an incredible selection of baklava and treats, delicious hummus, and I highly recommend the lamb flatbread, mana’eesh. It’s super fresh and they make it to order, it’s delicious! I’ll be back to try more flavors soon. I love the finger baklava, great texture and balance of flavors, but really you can’t go wrong with any of the options. Also, the rose latte is really good! I was surprised because I thought it might be too floral, but it was really balanced and not too sweet. A great spot and I feel fortunate to live so close. I’ll be back for more soon!

What a lovely experience. There was no one in the shop (Wednesday morning 9am-ish) when I came in so I had the opportunity to ask many questions because I couldn't decide between a rose and pistachio drink. In the end went with the hot rose latte, and added 2 shots (already 2 shots in there so yeah I wanted a lots of caffeine) and then got help choosing a couple of pistachio-laden sweets. I loved everything I ordered and was super happy with the very friendly, sweet service. There are already tons of photos on Yelp of the beautiful interior, so next time I'll invite someone and drink/eat my goodies there!
