This place has a really nice vibe to it. First time here so I tried a few items , the first thing I tried was there drip coffee which was fantastic really nice chocolate flavor to it. I ordered this with waffles which came out hot. The owner was very kind and gave me my chicken Mediterranean soup at the end which I was thankful for. Had a really great experience here.

The cashier was also the server , and was super polite and fun to talk to. We had mocha latte, dulce waffle and eggplant panini. The coffee was one of the best I have had in the area and waffle was also superb quality. The panini was also above average but not the best tastewise. Overall a cozy cafe to snug into with friends or for a date. They also sell art and have pictures of people visiting the cafe .

This cafe was such a delight! I came in here by myself after an appointment, and the owner and barista were SO fun and kind. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, waffle, and an iced coffee to eat in. While I was waiting, the owner was having super fun and animated conversations with regulars + new customers alike. Even though I was there by myself, I felt like I was there with a friend! Fast service, delicious food (the waffle is a MUST), and a great atmosphere. I don't think I truly understood what "friendly service" meant before coming to Arosa. It was delightful!

Cute little cafe! Best mocha sold here! Owner orders chocolate from Europe to make it extra special. Owner is friendly and smiley, a family owned business with love and kindness. We loved the vibe! Mocha and banana waffles paired very well, and the waffle was so cheap for 2022 standard. Highly recommend! Bathroom is available inside. They also sell cute goodies. They have a little daughter and that’s why they close early to spend more time with her. Understandable but hopefully they can extend open hours later!

Delicious breakfast and coffee spot. Extremely friendly staff that makes you feel like family. They write "his" and "hers" on my wife and I's coffees which was so nice. The waffles we got were delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their food!

A great stop after exploring the Japanese Gardens. Located right across the street from the entrance, Arosa Cafe is a complete gem. My partner and I enjoyed some paninis for a light lunch. The chicken avocado panini was 10/10. The service was great and they are literally so kind. A great place to hangout and the food is top tier.
