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.

'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.
