“ I'm a breakfast person and I love Joe's selection of breakfast sandwiches and the coffee. It's fast the prices are good too! ”

“ Great local family business. Friendly service. Super tasty Black Cherry Water Ice. Delish pretzel. It was the perfect hot day snack stop. ”

“ Love having Rose's in the neighborhood! The staff is beyond friendly. I love to get their breakfast sandwiches on a Saturday morning. So quick and great prices. ”

“ randomly drove by this place and decided to try their mango water ice. really refreshing and tasty! the lady working was also the sweetest. she said it was a family business. lots of street parking. definitely give this spot a try! ”

“ I'm there every morning at 7am and so is Joe and his team with awesome coffee and the greatest breakfast sandwiches in the universe. ”

“ Another great breakfast date this morning. Good quality corner breakfast sandwich. I had the bacon, egg and cheese with a hash brown. Wife had the hot sausage(more like spicy hotdog) egg and hash brown. Tasty with the perfect amount of pepper. ”

“ If you have not been to Rose's for some water ice you are a sad excuse of a human being. That is all. ”

“ 8 or 9 years ago I had an apartment directly across the street from the window and bench that are Rose's Water Ice. I remember those summers as paradise-- I would ride my bike the 3 1/2 miles uphill home from work and at the end would be the glorious reward of a large Rose's lemon or vanilla water ice. Perhaps the best thing about Rose's, however, was that they added year-round breakfast sandwiches and hot sausage. This meant, on lazy weekend mornings, I could basically roll out of bed and have a bacon egg and cheese almost instantly. It's 8 or 9 years later and, though I no longer live across the street, I still swing through for my own version of the hair of the dog, and still find myself counting down the days til summer and water ice... A large bacon/sausage, egg and cheese is $5-- a little steep, but the rolls are fresh and if you stand at the window you get to watch the guy cook it. Look at as the price of admission. If you like your eggs scrambled make sure to ask for it that way, otherwise you'll get them hard fried. They also offer sandwiches on bagels. During the off-seasons they don't always have soft pretzels, but once Memorial Day rolls around they carry them regularly (though they rarely last all day). If you swing through early enough, you can also snag an Inquirer and/or the Daily News. It's on street parking, but (knock wood) I am usually able to cruise up and park right in front of the place (gotta admit, however, I've never tried it before 10 am)... The water ice is homemade on the premises and they throw in random flavors occasionally to supplement the standards. They also used to have a little yellow and green jeep that drove around manayunk selling lemon, cherry, and random flavor x out of the back every day. i don't live or work anywhere that I used to see him anymore, so I can't say for sure if they still do it, but I hope so. I used to work at a playground in MYK, and my favorite thing of a night was when the Rose's truck would cruise by. WE got Mr Softee and Jack & Jill all the time, but i've always been awater ice girl.... Rose's is a neighborhood staple, and deservedly so. There are plenty of mornings when it can be a real lifesaver and there are tons of summer days when it's one of the best ways to survive the heat. ”
