  Being near the airport, I wanted a spot that was local and close. So as Yelp always does, y'all recommended Rosie's and it definitely delivered.
  
  The Sylvan location is a bit small but parking was plenty and inside wasn't crowded at all.
  
  The decor is nice, feels quaint and clean and I appreciated the black owned, farm-to-table concept.
  
  The wait was a bit long but our server was really good at letting us know upfront it takes a bit longer.
  
  Ordered a chai latte (a bit too sweet but good), fish and grits (was good and liked that they the fish was perch) and a platter of French toast, scrambled eggs and grilled chicken (the chicken, yum! That toast, mehhh).
  
  I'd try this spot again just to try something new on the menu. :)

  This restaurant is not that great. My fellow Yelpers let me down. The only reason why they're getting these 3 stars is due to good parking, power outlets for electronics at every seat, Chai latte and free WiFi.
  
  I had a canceled meeting. Decided to have breakfast while out. Looked up Rosie's and checked the pictures.
  
  Ordered the breakfast platter with salmon croquettes, French toast and scrambled eggs. Added breakfast potatoes on the side. Everything was bland. My French toast was super soggy like they use bread that's thin and soaks up all the egg mixture. It was mushy like eating an undercooked quiche or tapioca pudding.  I sent it back and had another one made, no charge. My total was $21+
  
  Should've gone with my first mind for a smoothie or Thumbs Up Diner ‍ The server was nice but stayed on her phone behind the counter in between customers. I tipped because I'm not an ***hole

  Rosie's was the closest place to us at our stay in ATL, and it was a nice surprise. It's a little bit hard to find if you're not looking for it, so be careful. The staff was friendly and the place was inviting, so A+ for that.
  
  We ordered the Fried Chicken Salad, a Chicken Po-Boy, and an Iced Mocha. Overall, the food was nice, fresh, and basic (in a good way). The food took a little bit long to come out on a not-so-busy day, but wasn't a big deal. The chicken on the salad was a little dry, but good overall.
  
  They do use plastic utensils and cups, which for anyone who is environmentally conscious is very frustrating.

  Stopped into Rosie's after an early-ish Yelp event, and I was in dire need of a good breakfast. When my boyfriend and I walked in I was not paying attention so I ended up getting behind a gentleman waiting for his to go order. Not the best idea to Yelp and walk! Oh well... good thing my boyfriend was vigilant enough to ask where we should go to request a table. He placed us on the wait, but a couple of moments later he noticed two empty bar chairs and we went for it.
  
  At the bar we watched the hustle and bustle of the morning rush. Pretty exciting stuff, so as I waited I had a great time to explore the restaurant. Rosie's has a clean eclectic yet modern feel. There is a tine roof as one of the walls back drop, subway tiles, and pretty amazing lighting. A couple of moments later Clay (the cashier/waitor) came to us laughing and stated he would take care of us. He was one of the only employees relaxed enough to take on the rush. He asked for our drink orders an he went to fetch them. He came back with two to-go cups of water, and he told us it would be a moment for the coffee. Just to fast forward a little, the coffee took approximately 20 minutes to actually arrive to us.
  
  As we sat patiently an older woman with blond hair, assumed to be a manager, noticed our extended waited and offered us four muffins on the house.
  
  *Appetizer: Muffins ($3.00)
  The muffins were amazing. They were a rich brown assumed to be made with molasses and either pecans/walnuts. So for anyone with food allergies beware of possible nut allergies.
  
  Approximately 40 minutes and a terrible encounter with one of the other waitresses our meals finally came out.
  
  *Sides: Oatmeal ($2.99)
  The presentation was nice. The oatmeal was plated with chopped strawberries and a side of brown sugar. Definitely mix the brown sugar with the oatmeal to bring out a sweeter taste.
  
  *Side: Scrambled eggs with cheese ($2.49)
  The eggs were scrambled perfected with just the right amount of cheese.
  
  *Side: Chicken Sausage ($2.99)
  I typically prefer my sausage to be cooked a little less crispy. I'm not a fan of burnt edges.
  
  Overall this restaurant deserves a A for food and a C- for customer service/restaurant organization. Clay was a superb employee, very nice and friendly, the manager she was also a delight to approach, the muffins were amazing, and the interior, exterior, and marketing is amazing. Pitfalls, the kitchen was terribly slow, the restaurant logistics could be slightly better organized, and Clay's sister (the other waitress) had terrible customer service. She argued with the kitchen staff in front of customers, she rolled her eyes, and she inappropriately interacted with me when I attempted to check on our food. Hopefully on our next trip the restaurant gets more organized and attitudes improve.

  It doesn't really stand out so follow your GPS carefully. Next to an automotive shop. Look out for it.
  
  Nice coffeehouse atmosphere. Erykah Badu, Anthony Hamilton, India Arie and a variety of other artists play throughout the place at a pleasurable volume. It's heard but not so loud that you can't talk, read or enjoy the visit.
  
  People were able to use their laptops in peace. There was a variety of patrons steadily coming in and out, with a few that seemed like regulars.
  
  Convenient USB ports in the booth seats.
  
  The salmon croquettes were greasy but seasoned perfectly and very tasty. A little dab on the napkins helped. My almomd milk chai iced latte was too good. I almost ordered another to go. The chicken was seasoned and the waffles were the right thickness. The servers were attentive.
  
  I saw another location near the Mercedes Benz stadium. I'll probably check that one out too.
  
  I'm definitely coming back to this location when I come back.
