Yass must be a popular place because The Roses Cafe is on the spacious side, like a barrage of diners are expected at anytime. Part of The Roses Cafe group that have cafes in Goulburn and Mittagong, this outlet’s friendly staff and mouth watering goodies in the display cabinet will have you returning just to try it all. The ample seating includes a number of umbrella-shaded tables outside, a large main room and a smaller room through a doorway. The crispy scones taste like they have just come out of the oven. It’s possible as there is a bit of a wait. They aren’t my favourite as far as fresh scones go, but they do rate at the higher end of the scone scale. Paired with average jam and thickly whipped cream, the strawberry garnish is a nice touch but I’m not sure how the piece of lettuce found its way onto my plate.
