Restaurant Road Trip: Café Rosé
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Café Rosé in Suncrest started with cupcakes, but it's grown into much more. The garden-themed cafe now occupies the space that housed Slight Indulgence for many years. 'Fourteen years ago, we started The Cupcakerie downtown,' said owner Anna Carrier. 'I knew this location my whole life and the people who owned it were ready to retire, so I approached them and said I'd like to move my business here and expand it.' Café Rosé opened in early 2024 with a soup, salad and sandwich concept, but it quickly expanded to include wine, beer, burgers and chicken salad sandwiches. It continues to offer wines and gift baskets, just as Slight Indulgence did. Restaurant Road Trip: Neighborhood Kombuchery 'One of our most popular items is our BLT,' said Carrier. 'It has a peppadew aioli on it and people love that. Our strawberry almond goat cheese salad is very popular as well as our harvest salad that has dried cranberries and walnuts on it. Our chef's Cubano sandwich is fantastic. I think it would rival most Cubanos on the East Coast.' Carrier described the aesthetic as having a 'garden vibe.' It's also painted ever-so-slightly pink on the interior, giving the feeling of being inside a wine bottle. 'We offer brunch all day. That's something a little different for Morgantown. And we also offer a frozen rose,' said Carrier. 'We add our own house purees to all of the flavor—mango, strawberry (and others) and it has rose wine in it.' The Morgantown native said that her favorite part of owning the restaurant is the community that is forming around it. 'One of my favorite things is at the end of the night when I see three tables come together and none of them knew they were going to be here and everyone gets to kind of catch up,' said Carrier. 'It's kind of cool to have that vibe.' You can find Café Rosé at 3200 Collins Ferry Road in Morgantown. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

305 Day: What we love, hate about the Magic City
From the gorgeous beaches to the endless Cubanos (sandwiches) and cafecitos and never-ending list of things to do, there's lots to love about living in Miami. But it's not perfect, and not a day goes by where we're not complaining about something (looking at you, I-95). So on this 305 Day, please indulge us as we dive into our love/hate relationship with the Magic City via this non-exhaustive list. Our uniqueness, when we can get there Love: It's impossible to compare South Beach (art deco architecture, the beach, nightlife) to Calle 8 (rich Latin heritage) to the more suburban cities of Miami Gardens, Pinecrest or Doral or the financial district that embodies Brickell. But that's why we love it. Every area offers something unique. Hate: It's easier to fly out of state than to take a day trip from North Miami to Kendall when you factor in traffic. Did we mention the lack of public transportation? Worldly cuisines Love: Miami's restaurant scene is world-renowned — we have awards to prove it! Hate: With it, though, are the over-the-top clubstaurants (shoutout to The Infatuation for the term), cliche decor, music that's too loud, and way too many tasting menus. Plus, dinner at even the most unassuming restaurant can often cost you your firstborn. Play ball Love: Miami claims a ton of sports glory for being a relatively young market. Each of our Big Four major sports teams — the Heat, the Dolphins, the Marlins and the Panthers — has won a championship. Hate: Shoutout to bandwagon fans! We arrive late and leave early — hello, Heat fans who left before the Game 6 NBA Finals comeback! — and we rally behind a team only when we have a star player. We live where you vacation Love: It's March 5. The sun is shining, the humidity is low, and a light breeze is in the air. It's a perfect beach day. These are the days that remind us it's worth living through the 101-degree days in August. Hate: The 101-degree days in August. We can't have nice things Love: Places like Versailles, Joe's Stone Crab, and Vizcaya Museum & Gardens are intertwined into Miami's fabric — and are still standing. Hate: Meanwhile, beloved music venues like Churchill's and Tobacco Road, restaurants like Shucker's, and sports venues like the Orange Bowl have shuttered, often to make room for new, flashy developments. Speaking of development, the lack of affordable housing requires more words than allowed in this newsletter, so we'll leave that for another day. Miami politics Love: Our whacky politics always keep things interesting. Miami may be the only city in America where a congressional candidate said she had been abducted by aliens — and still got a major newspaper endorsement. Hate: We only laugh to keep from crying. Miami has a history of corruption, and several elected leaders have been arrested or investigated in recent years.
