mmm-yoso!!! greets you on the Monday of a Holiday week. Cathy is writing while Kirk and His Missus are out and about, researching for future posts about food and activities.
A few weeks ago, my dear friend, cc and I embarked on our annual celebratory end-of-work food crawl. As always, she organizes and I follow along and learn of new and interesting places.
The building housing Rose D'Amour has reincarnated itself several times over the years. It is now owned by a friendly husband and wife and serves breakfast, lunch and various coffees and juices. The ordering online system seemed to be well in use during the time we were here on a Tuesday morning.
Just a portion of the menu.
The interior is small but there is additional seating on an outdoor patio.
cc ordered the Simple Breakfast ($12.99) with scrambled eggs, sausage, country potatoes and corn tortillas. I had a bite and this was very good.
I ordered the Molletes ($14.99) which I always like to try at new (to me) places. The toasted telera was topped with plenty of wonderful flavored refried beans, pico and Cotija cheese. A fresh made Chile de arbol based salsa was served on the side. This was a great savory breakfast; the telera was fresh and soft, even with the toasting.
cc ordered an iced brown sugar something ($6.75) and I got a regular coffee ($3)
The food, beverages and service here were wonderful and I will return with The Mister to try out the lunch menu.
Rose D'Amour Cafe. 1283 Third Avenue Chula Vista 91911 (619) 947-6717 Open daily 8-2
Oh wow. I remember this place used to be a Chinese restaurant when I was growing up in the late 80s. Glad to see another business succeeding there. It's a weird location.

You are correct, Junichi! I couldn't remember the name but it was a nice family owned Chinese place. The location went though being a Vape place and something else during Covid. I suppose saying that 'it's next to the Burger King' gives the location..that's where we parked.
Rose D'Amour was our first stop of the day, kat, and it turned out that a bunch of planned places were closed because it was a Tuesday. The Mister and I will be able to try out the ones we missed pretty soon. There was a lot of interesting grocery shopping involved.
