Ham and Swiss Panini with Fries
The ham and Swiss panini at 240 Rose Cafe redefines what a panini should be. The sandwich arrives perfectly toasted, with each bite delivering a satisfying crunch that melts into a soft, buttery finish. The ham is savory, while the Swiss cheese complements it beautifully, providing a balanced flavor. The accompanying fries deserve their own praise. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, they are easily among the best fries I’ve had in Winter Park. Forget the competition – these fries are in a league of their own.
BLT with Onion Rings
This BLT stacks high with crispy bacon, fresh arugula, and ripe tomatoes, but what really sets it apart is the smart use of toasted bread. Unlike the overly toasted BLTs you’ve endured in the past, here only the top slice is toasted, making for an easier, more enjoyable bite. Paired with onion rings that offer a satisfying, clean bite (you know the kind), this dish is a triumph. The bacon is crispy perfection, and the arugula adds a fresh, peppery bite, making this BLT a must-try at 240 Rose Cafe.
Avocado Croissant with Potatoes
If you’re in the mood for something light yet hearty, the avocado croissant won’t disappoint. This flaky, buttery croissant is filled with avocado, fresh arugula, and juicy tomatoes, making for a refreshing twist on a traditional sandwich. The dish is served with crispy, well-seasoned potatoes that add a comforting, savory touch without overpowering the clean, light flavors of the croissant. It’s the kind of dish that fuels you for the rest of the day without weighing you down.
Salmon Eggs Benedict
A fusion of two breakfast classics, the salmon eggs benedict is an elegant balance of flavors. Smoky salmon rests atop a perfectly toasted English muffin, crowned with creamy hollandaise sauce. But the real star here is the homemade potato casserole, resembling a boxty in its crispy, cheesy goodness. Together, these elements create a dish that’s both hearty and refined, leaving you smiling long after the last bite.

French Toast with Fresh Berries
It’s hard to resist the allure of perfectly cooked French toast, and 240 Rose Cafe delivers. Thick slices of French toast are topped with an array of fresh berries – blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries – and adorned with dollops of icing, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a sprig of mint. A small saucer of syrup accompanies this dish, though you might find it unnecessary given how naturally sweet and flavorful it is. A true feast for both the eyes and the palate.
Latte and Café Bombón
Coffee lovers will find solace in the latte at 240 Rose Cafe. It strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and the robust flavor of coffee, making it a satisfying pick-me-up. For something with a little more punch, the Café Bombón is a delightful treat. Sweet, chocolatey, and packing a caffeine kick thanks to the espresso, it’s the kind of indulgence that pairs perfectly with brunch.
And for those visiting during October and November, take advantage of the BOGO mimosas on weekdays. It’s just another reason why 240 Rose Cafe is a hidden gem worth discovering. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or lingering over a leisurely brunch, this café has something for everyone.
