Even though the weather is up and down and all around the town, so to speak,

we are busy getting ready for a great 2012 summer season.

We have all new staff this year with the exception of one.

Please stop by and say hello.

We are busy training and employees are busy learning

how to be part of the unique Rose Garden Cafe team.

Let me tell you a few things you might want to know about us.

Just as we do not sell food, but feed our community,

we also don’t  pay our staff just for the hours  they spend in the cafe.

Of course we pay our staff, but what makes us unique

is that what we do together is hold this space open for all of you to enter into,

and in it, we tend to all the details from cooking to serving…. setting up to cleaning up.

We are an evolving working team of individuals

pleased to make your experience at the Rose Garden Cafe in Lakeside Park delightful and nourishing.

Make us your summer destination…..

our food is perfect for lunches, dinners and picnics!

Call ahead if you wish, we take orders.  250-352-0059.

See you in the park.  Ciao!

What a lovely sunny day!

Ideas for today:

Lunch at the park

Dinner with family and friends in the park

Tea time complete with teapots and tea cups

Organic coffee, frappes and fruit smoothies

hmmmm….

so many lovely options at

The Rose Garden Cafe

spread the word we’re open!!!

Well, slowly but surely, we are opening.  It should not surprise us, but it does every summer…..the coolness, the rainy season, until we remember…..the cycle of the rose and the Rose Garden Cafe.

The lovely opening of the rosebud at this time of year will continue into the unfolding of the rose blossom…..so it has begun….a lovely new cycle and summer season at Lakeside Park and the beach!

We have a fantastic team this year and we are all busy preparing to do what we love to do each summer…..hold open the environment of the cafe in the park, feeding  families and friends, and supporting summer-long events and activities.

We love what we do!  And we are looking forward to the rush of feeling summer on the way as we set up our umbrellas, table clothes, bicycles, and flowers  inviting the cultural mix of community and international tourists to enjoy our way of life.

See you at the Rose Garden Cafe!

We are thrilled to announce that the Rose Garden Cafe will be opening May 25, 2012, for another great summer season!!!!

We’ve received lots of amazing resumes and we are going to have a wonderful team of employees

happy and eager to serve you our local, organic, and wholesome food choices.

Stop by and say hello!  We can’t wait to start our 11th year….with our heartfelt mottos:

Simply beautiful, naturally delicious……

and…..We don’t just sell food, we feed our community!

See you on May 25th!
