Since 1997, Rose’s Cafe has been a beloved cornerstone of Cow Hollow—an inviting neighborhood gathering place where mornings stretch into afternoons and evenings linger over candlelight and wine. Tucked onto a sunny corner in San Francisco, the café blends the warmth of a European bistro with the relaxed ease of California dining.

Our menu celebrates simple, honest cooking rooted in Italian tradition and seasonal Northern California ingredients. Brunch favorites—like our iconic breakfast pizza with farm eggs and house-made sausage—have earned a loyal following, while dinner brings handmade pastas, vibrant salads, and rustic entrées designed for sharing. Everything is crafted in-house with care, from freshly baked pastries to comforting sauces that simmer slowly and thoughtfully.

Inside, colorful walls, natural light, and the hum of conversation create a space that feels both lively and intimate. Outside, our sunlit patio offers the perfect perch to sip a cappuccino in the morning or unwind with a crisp glass of Sancerre in the afternoon. Whether you’re joining us for a casual weekday lunch, a celebratory dinner, or simply a moment to pause with coffee and a newspaper, Rose’s Cafe remains a timeless reflection of Cow Hollow’s charm—welcoming, vibrant, and unmistakably local.
