Made From Scratch, Every Morning
What's Coming Out of the Kitchen
Our menu is seasonal, local, and always made from scratch. We change things up based on what's fresh, what's in season, and honestly, what Rebekah is inspired to bake that week. What you see here is a solid taste of what to expect — but the best way to find out what's new is to follow us on Facebook or just come in and ask.
Rise & Shine
Breakfast
We open at 7:00 AM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM on Saturdays for a reason — because mornings deserve something worth getting out of bed for.
Breakfast Sandwich
Sausage, egg, and cheese on our fresh-baked cinnamon swirl bread — a hearty way to start a Northwoods morning. Ask about today's build.
Butter Croissant
Golden, flaky, and impossibly buttery. The pastry that started it all — perfect on its own with a morning coffee.
Sweet Filled Croissant
Rotating seasonal fillings — chocolate, fruit, and cream. Ask what's filled today.
Our Specialty
Our Signature Croissants
If you've never had a Rose Cottage croissant, that's the first thing to fix. They're a labor of love — buttery, flaky, and made fresh every morning. Available sweet or savory, as a standalone pastry or as the foundation for our sandwich menu.
The Turketta
Roasted turkey, fresh arugula, and Calabrian pepper marmalade on a flaky house-made croissant.
Wild Rice Chicken Salad Croissant
Our Minnesota wild rice chicken salad — with dried cranberries — served on a fresh croissant.
Midday
Lunch
Our lunch menu rotates monthly, built around fresh seasonal ingredients — locally sourced whenever possible. From warm soups to pressed sandwiches, lunch at Rose Cottage is worth making time for.
Fan Favorite
French Dip à la Crème
A fan favorite and a 10/10 according to our regulars — tender, savory, and served with our house-made French onion dip. The one to order if you only order one.
Soup & Grilled Cheese
Creamy house-made soup — like our roasted tomato — paired with a golden grilled cheese. Soups rotate with the season.
Fresh-Pressed Sandwiches & Wraps
Rotating daily and monthly specials — fresh veggies and greens, built on house-made bread or our signature croissants.
Sweet Things
Sweets & Pastries
Made by hand, every single day. A rotating case of French pastries, cakes, cupcakes, and cookies — plus our hand-made scones, famous Sparkle Donuts, and fudgy Nutella brownies. Gluten-free options available; ask what's fresh today.
Cupcakes
Buttercream-topped and baked fresh daily in rotating flavors — vanilla, chocolate, and seasonal specials.
Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes
Rich chocolate cake under a glossy ganache — a decadent little indulgence.
