Cafe Rose is an upscale coffee and wine bar located in Houston's City Centre. Cafe Rose is a proud member of illy's "Artisti del Gusto" coffee program, fulfilling the exacting requirements of serving illy coffee, the illy way. In the evening, we dim the lights, and become a wine bar, serving wines by the glass, as well as bottles from Bistro Alex's well-chosen selection of Old World wines and Hotel Sorella's excellent New World offerings. Bistro Alex is upscale french creole dining. Both are the brainchild of Houston restaurateur Alex Brennan-Martin of the famed Brennan's of Houston.
