Rose's Bakery & Cafe - EASTSOUND

I did not want the chocolate almond croissant to end enough said.

Just a fantastic bakery and small cafeWe headed over for brunch and tastes of many items.

Went to Bubby's for Sunday breakfastArrived in the nick of time as just after 9:30am people started pouring in.

Roses is my favorite place on Orcas Island, among very good company of other beautiful restaurants. I rue the days they are closed (Sonnays and Mondays) and was known to plan a trip around their hours. Fresh pastas are often specialties on the lunch menu, with homemade, perfectly cooked noodles in plenty of portions. I always get the pasta, in addition to everything my friends and I share. Their thin crust pizzas are tasteful, but never hard, with interesting taste combos with seasonal ingredients. Always, there is at least one vegetarian option if you are in this type of thing. During breakfast, the potato nest is a must: a huge hashbrown with crispy edges and a creamy center of soft potatoes. It is served with chopped eggs and Serrano ham. Your cakes and other sweets are also worth making room or taking with you when you go. If you have a Sunday ferry, I recommend you to grab sandwiches to go from the gourmet shop when you are there on Saturday. Enjoy!

The Cucumber side is a dose of spices with the crisp gurke add in a hint of tart with the champagne vinegar. The English Pea Hummus Sandwich is mouthwater!!! The bread complements the smooth hummus. It was so good twice in a row!!
