Coffee at The Rose House in Perth & Kinross

What happened? Bread cold as though just defrosted, Brie tasteless and overwhelmed by cranberry sauce, bacon; one cold skinny strip. This is not the standard we are accustomed to at the Rose House. Tea was good. Leave the grumpy face at home.

This is such a very nice gift shop and cafe. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff and reasonably priced delicious food. What's not to like? Unfortunately we tried to visit last Sunday and it was shut, despite the Web site saying they are open 11 until 4 on a Sunday. And the sign on their door! And their land line is disconnected. What a shame Apparently they have not been open on a Sunday since Xmas. Understand the difficulties of running a business and staffing problems, but please, ensure your website is up to date so potential customers do not have a wasted trip.

Found this a month or so back, when getting My COVID jab in the old bank building next door. Loved it. Returned with my wife today - you had moved! Fortunately one of the workmen at your old address pointed me along the street and across the road to your new premises. So glad to see you there. Popped in for coffee and a custard tart (my favourite) and great to see it was as good as I hoped, again. Great staff, very OK prices. Good British/ Scottish fare, in a nice new setting. Highly recommend.

I wanted to message on messenger but no option to do so ! I’m not happy about this at all as don’t wish. To do a bad review that could be negative

Went for coffee after an appointment. The staff were above and beyond friendly. Happy to serve. Most of the sweet choices were home made. Chose Coffee and fresh baked fruit scone with butter and apricot jam. Scone was warm and delicious and coffee was perfection. Glad that the jam came in it's own little tub and not the bland packaged kind. When paying, was informed that they were moving premises as they needed bigger place due to popularity. Very chatty and friendly.

I won an afternoon tea for 2 at the rose house at a breast cancer now event, WOW sums it up, service was absolutely amazing and the afternoon tea was delicious, everything we ate had a wow after the first bite, from the sandwiches, cakes, scones and cheese and crackers, I will definitely be back again, best afternoon tea I’ve had

WOW fantastic find. Staff so friendly and helpful. Toilets absolutely spotless. The coffee was 1st class. Its been a long time since I had such a great coffee. Menu good, varied and very very reasonable. I had a scone which are made in house daily as is a lot of the cakes. Such a wonderful find in the heart of Perth. Hope to be back very soon.

Located in the heart of Perth’s pedestrianised shopping area, this is an attractive looking café with plenty of foliage around the entranceway. In fact, from glancing at it initially, I rather thought it was actually a florists! We were only popping in for a snack, and the array of cakes in the counter looked very appealing, and I really couldn’t decide what to go for. The Victoria Sponge was certainly very tempting, as was the Trillionaire’s Shortbread although I noticed this was a vegan version which rather put me off. I can’t help thinking that some dishes lend themselves more towards vegenisation than others, and one that should have butter in the pastry base, butter in the caramel and milk in the chocolate doesn’t seem to be an obvious contender. I swerved to the carrot cake at the last minute and was glad I did, for this was a decent portion and very tasty with a lovely iced topping and a moist base. A lemon meringue pie across the table was slightly less successful perhaps, nothing really wrong with it, but it just tasted rather like one you’d get out of a supermarket packet rather than something freshly baked. Service was a little slow to the point that we chased ours up, as people who had ordered after us, and had things such as sandwiches that had to be assembled, were being served before us. I can only assume ours had been left somewhere and forgotten about, as it then arrived almost immediately. The accompanying latte was pretty good too. Overall, despite a couple of niggles, I thought this was pretty decent and would happily return if in the area.

I've been here a few times with with my daughter and alone.Beautiful baked potato.The cherry and rhubard slices are delicious but the plain fluffy scones are my favourite.I even called down early before returning to Ireland last week and bought some to take home...delicious!!Audrey and staff are extremelly kind and friendly.See you again soon,thank you.

I’ll start the review by saying that I understand the current financial climate and how hard it is for small businesses but…. The place looks lovely from the outside and is in a very good location. However, that’s where the positives end. The place wasn’t very warm but I paid £8.95 for a roast beef sandwich and some soup. The sandwich was made out of supermarket bread that had clearly been defrosted. Then there was the filling or lack of. The beef was the cheapest, thinnest rubbish from the supermarket and consisted of 1 thin measly slice. No cheese, no tomato or anything else one may expect to garnish a classic sandwich. The soup was ok to taste but it was literally one kids cup worth! Come on, it’s embarrassing. I haven’t eaten such a bad sandwich since my high school days in the scaffy old canteen. The UK food revolution has bypassed this place. Yes, the economy is tough right now but this was embarrassingly bad!

We discovered this wee gem of a coffee house some time before Covid and really missed not visiting during lockdown and the subsequent travel restrictions. We’ve been back a few times since restrictions have eased and glad to say the coffee and food are as good as ever.

Staff were very friendly upon arrival and were helpful when ordering. We were in for a coffee and cake, both of which were delicious. Our first time at this lovely cafe and look forward to returning!

Nice place for breakfast, nice staff, good price , good food glad I went there and will go again when in Perth

We usually break our journey when traveling north from Edinburgh. This was our first experience of The Rose House, and it was a positive one. We had a small quiche and salad which was fresh and tasty. This was followed by nice hot tea and lemon drizzle cake. The cake was nice, but in the spirit of constructive criticism, we would have liked the cake with more lemon zest. The Rose House will definitely be our new go-to stopover when traveling north.

I was gifted a voucher for the vintage afternoon tea for my 60th birthday and I have to say, it was one of the best afternoon tea I've had. Lovely people, very friendly place. My husband and myself have often passed this coffee shop, and promised ourselves a visit. We will be back on a regular basis from now on.

Lovely Earl Grey tea in a proper pot with home made scones. The chocolate cannoli was superb. Really comfy seats in the window to watch the world go by

Just popped in for lunch while visiting Perth today and what a beautiful place to visit, food was absolutely delicious and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend The Rose House for anyone wanting a special and personal lunch experience

Found this gorgeous coffee shop in the centre of Perth and visited twice in 2 days. Indoor and outdoor seating available, very friendly, cheerful and efficient staff, and good vegetarian options. The cherry and rhubarb slice was amazing!

We stopped in here while in Perth for a day out. Very Nice decor & looked very appealing when walking past. We sat outside and were served by a nice, friendly lady. We opted for the quiche, not disappointed - very good. Decent prices as...

Nice location and lovely spot to sit out on a sunny day. Try not to be a coffee snob, but whoever was making the coffees didn’t have a clue. Flat white was made as a latte. You can always tell the quality of how coffee...

While perhaps a little twee in its decor, this is a pleasant little eatery. We had an excellent lunch, which included their ability to provide gluten-free dishes. Recommended.

Oh dear, what a gross disappointment. Have not experienced such an awful filled roll since Adam was a boy! Roll, stodgy. Filling of cheese and tomato. Half a slice of cheese (I mean sliced cheese bought from somewhere that prides itself on selling tasteless cheese.)....

Quaint coffee and florist shop. Very pretty. Lovely coffee and a really moist and light GF cake! Well worth a visit! ❤️

Popped in here for a bit of lunch with my daughter. Venue is very attractive and we expected great things. Mini quiches are exactly that and for almost £8 not worth it when you bear in mind a lovely smoked salmon quiche to feed 16...

Jooned a friend (who had had lunch here) for a coffee. She raves about the soup but I can only rave about the coffee. It was served at our table after you order and pay at the counter. Fast and efficient service and wow, smooth...

Go here on a regular basis and find it a nice relaxing place with good service and food. Would definitely recommend

If your looking for a coffee, Sandwich, light lunch with a lovely atmosphere then the rose house is it. They have expanded from coffee and cake in to soup, toasted, quiche and other light lunch platters and it works well. They still have an array...

Had coffees mid morning and came back for lunch. Service very friendly and the home made mini quiches are excellent.

Come here once a week to meet a friend. The owner and staff are always very welcoming and friendly. We only have a cup of tea each and a cake but tend to stay for over an hour. We don't feel rushed and it is...

Stopped off whilst shopping for a quick coffee and a piece of cake. Service was quick and friendly. Really tasty coffee and cake made choosing difficult. Definitely be popping in again.

I had a tuna jacket potato that came with salad, my husband had a tuna sandwich, and we had coffees. The food was excellent, good quantities, and good service. I do consider it slightly pricey, however.

Stopped in for lunch. Food delicious and freshly made to order. Not a massive choice but you will find something you like. Ideal for light lunch or coffee and cake. Lovely surroundings. Would recommend.

Thus was our first time visiting The Rose House. The cakes here are fantastic! I had the cinnamon tart and a machiato. ☕️

We visit the Rose House on a regular basis, the first attraction for us is the good coffee but the cakes are generally very fresh and tasty. The cafe has some tables upstairs but we usually sit downstairs or outside if the weather is good....

It’s been a while since I went to this cafe - love the fact that the dog is around. It seems to have had a refresh which is very nice and the upstairs seating looked quiet and very comfortable. However, it would have been nice...

My experience of dog friendly cafes is usually the cafe focusing on being more dog friendly than being a cafe. The Rose House managed to make one of the best coffees I’ve had and also one of the best lemon cakes I’ve had. I am...

Our doorman greeted us with a wagging tail and a big smile. Sitting cosy, we shared the most delicious banana fudge cake (which was gluten free) that you can possibly imagine. I’m sure I was salivating more than Oscar... I’m extremely glad that we discovered...

We popped into 'The Rose House' on our first (and only) visit to Perth - it looked really attractive from the outside so we thought we'd give it a go. We were really pleased that we did as the staff, the food and the atmosphere...

This is a lovely little coffee shop that serves good coffee and food. Dog friendly too which is a bonus.

Have already recommended to work colleagues and friends as was such a fab little place to stop for light lunch of coffee and a cake.

Stopped for coffee and cake lovely staff even more lovely cake. I believe the baker of said cakes has worked in some of the finest establishments in Scotland it shows

This is a lovely place for a cup of coffee or a light snack. Great relaxed atmosphere in lovely surroundings. Very friendly and efficient staff and all fresh produce.

We came upon this delightful cafe by chance, stopped and had lunch. My husband had the ploughmans and I had a toastie, we also had 2 coffees, all for under £10. The staff were very friendly and made us welcome, and the food was delicious......

Small and friendly coffee shop flower shop. Nice selection of cakes. Limited bagel choice. Only a few tables, which adds to charm.

This cafe was recommended to us by a friend and we thought we would give it a try. We were not disappointed. A very friendly reception into this coffee house-cum-florist shop, so the perfume from the flowers was an added bonus. We had delicious home-made...

I came across this purely by chance at the end of on a driech afternoon's shopping in Perth. The hot chocolate and cake was both welcome and extremely satisfying. The staff and owner couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Oscar the resident cocker spaniel...

Such a great wee find in the centre of Perth. Only 3 lunch choices which made for a refreshing change from the usual overly crammed menus. Everything made fresh before your eyes. Lovely selection of cakes and baking too. Lovely cosy and friendly atmosphere to...

Due to the closure of McEwen's Peacock restaurant the search is on to find an alternative from the wide choice available in Perth city centre. On two occasions I have tried The Rose House and the jury is still out on whether the combination works...

Audrey, what can I say you are excellent. The flowers were so beautiful and everything went like clockwork. Having had such a sad time in the previous fortnight you helped to make this a happy memorable time. Thank you, Maureen.

A very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere with the tables between displays of cut flowers, plants and garden gifts, and it was good to see Ann, formerly of the sadly now defunct McEwans, here at the Rose House. A limited selection of savouries, but the bagel,...

I am a fan of The Rose House! If I am looking for a gift to take for friends Audrey never lets me down. I even attended the "make your own Christmas Wreath" in December and just loved it. When Audrey told me they were...

Popped in for a quick coffee and cake.Both were delicious.Gorgeous setting,sitting amongst fresh flowers enjoy my hot drink.Staff are delightful.

This coffee shop is beautiful inside, the staff are really nice, the coffee is really good so are the cakes and scones. It is also a florist and your surrounded by beautiful flowers as you drink your coffee.

A lovely place to stop for a cuppa and a bit of cake or a scone. There are just a few tables in here where you can relax and recharge before continue shopping. It was so lovely to see Anne running the show. She really...

Charming little café which is situated in a flower shop. The café only serves cakes, scones and drinks but it is a delightful little place. There are a few tables inside and a couple of tables on the pavement outside. It is very attractive sitting...
