We’re pretty particular about seasonal drinks. If we’re going to make something taste like apple cider, we want it to taste like apple cider, not just “apple-flavored.”

Our Apple Cider Cold Foam starts with real apples that have been concentrated down for all that deep apple flavor, layered with warm baking spices and no high-fructose corn syrup. We blend it with local cream for a thick, velvety cloud that brings a little fall to whatever you put underneath it.

Try it on a cold brew, add it to a dirty chai, or take a completely different route with our Apple Cider Soda for a creamy, bubbly dirty soda. 🍎🫧

We love finding really good things, figuring out how to make them our own, and sharing them with you. This one won’t be here forever, so come have some fun with it while it is. 🍂

💗 The Mercy Latte

Simple syrup, our house-roasted Dolce espresso, white chocolate, raspberry essence, your milk of choice, and a decadent pour of raspberry purée.

Sweet, creamy, and bright with raspberry. Very fitting for a drink named after our owner. 😉

And a little shoutout while we’re here to Morii Collective – Award-Winning Video + Photo for always indulging my content ideas and somehow making everything look even better than I imagined. They’re endlessly supportive, thoughtful, and have such a good eye for making our page feel like us.

If you’re a small business looking for a fresh perspective on your products or content, I really can’t recommend them enough. 💕

Meet our Apple Cider Soda! We take our spiced apple cider concentrate and top it with freshly carbonated soda water straight from our old-school soda spout. Crisp, lightly spiced, super refreshing, and basically our answer to wanting fall flavors when it’s still very much California outside. 😂

Order it as-is for something bright & bubbly, or add Apple Cider Cold Foam and make it a dirty soda. ☁️🍎

Honestly, we’re having a hard time deciding which version we like more.

Fall drinks are officially here at Rosetta! 🍂

Today we’re saying goodbye to our summer features! 🥲🌹☀️

The Pistachio Rose Latte & Dubai Chocolate Mocha are officially heading out for the season. Don’t worry, though. We’re still carrying Táche pistachio milk, so if you’re really craving a little taste of summer, we can still whip something up for you. 😘

We’re also 86’ing the Iced London Fog to make room for Iced Spiced Black Apple Tea and, drumroll please… 🥁🍎

APPLE CIDER COLD FOAM.

Perhaps one of our most delicious little cloud toppers yet, and the possibilities are endless. Add it to a dirty chai. A classic cold brew. Or go extra refreshing with an Apple Cider Soda + Apple Cider Cold Foam. ☁️🍏

We love all things fall, and we’ve been having way too much fun coming up with these. New fall features are rolling in! 🍂✨

If you’ve only been visiting us in the mornings this past year, you may have found yourself wondering… what the heck happened to Rosetta?! 😂🌴

You’re not imagining it. Our little antique Italian-inspired café has slowly grown more tropical, more lush, and perhaps a little more mysterious.

That’s because Wednesday through Saturday, Rosetta gets a second life. At 5pm, the coffee shop transforms into The Tikeasy at Rosetta , our hidden tiki speakeasy inspired by vintage escapism, classic tiki culture, and our love of making complex, delicious drinks.

The lights go down, the tropical soundtrack comes up, and our evening crew takes over with rum-forward cocktails, house-made ingredients, tropical bites, desserts, happy hour, and plenty of little details to discover. 🍹🗿🌺

The best part? There’s no secret entrance to find. Just walk through Rosetta. If you know us for your morning latte, come back after dark and see what we’ve been up to.

It’s Saturday, so tonight’s a pretty good night to do it. 😉
The Tikeasy opens at 5pm · Happy Hour 5–7 · Open until 11pm

☕️🌿 Ever wonder why we’re called Rosetta?

A rosetta is the leafy pattern poured into a latte with silky, properly textured microfoam. But for us, there’s some family history in the name too.

Our owner Mercy’s uncle, David Schomer, founded Seattle’s Espresso Vivace and helped pioneer modern latte art in America. Mercy trains all our artisans to bring that same passion for espresso and the craft behind every cup into our cafe!

So no, Rosetta isn’t a person. 😉
It’s right there in your latte. ☕️🌿

☕️ ➡️ 🌴 Same space. A whole different rhythm after 5.

If you’ve ever wondered exactly what happens around here when afternoon turns into evening, here’s the lay of the land.

Rosetta starts the day bright and early with coffee, breakfast, pastries, roasting, and the usual morning buzz. At 4 PM Wednesday–Saturday, we close for just one hour.

That’s when the turnover begins.

We reset the café, the lights start to change, the Tikeasy crew gets ready beyond the archway, and at 5 PM, both sides come to life.

☕️ Rosetta reopens for coffee from 5–11 PM.
Our full coffee and tea menu is available, and you do not need a reservation to join us. Grab any open table in the front café or settle into our front patio with your evening coffee.

🌴 Meanwhile, beyond the archway…
The Tikeasy opens for cocktails, rare and exotic rums, food, desserts, and a completely different side of Rosetta. Our side patio is reserved for Tikeasy guests and gives larger groups a little more room to gather outside on a beautiful Livermore evening.

Want to guarantee a seat in the Tikeasy?
Reservations are always your best bet.
Follow the link on The Tikeasy at Rosetta ‘s page!!

So yes, you can come by at 7 PM just for a latte.
You can meet friends for cocktails.
You can start with coffee while you wait for a table beyond the archway
Or you can bring a group and make an evening of both.

Coffee shop in the front. Speakeasy in the back.
Two sides of Rosetta, under one roof. ☕️🌴

WEDNESDAY–SATURDAY
Rosetta closes at 4 PM → Reopens at 5 PM
Rosetta + The Tikeasy → 5–11 PM

☕️ So… who is Rosetta?

Every once in a while, someone walks in and asks for “Rosetta,” thinking perhaps she’s the owner.

Our owner is actually Mercy but the story behind our name is a pretty important part of *her* story.

A rosetta is that beautiful leaf-like pattern you’ve probably seen poured across the top of a latte. And Mercy’s uncle, David Schomer, founder of Espresso Vivace in Seattle, is widely credited with developing and popularizing modern latte art in the United States.

Back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, David and the baristas at Vivace were experimenting with something we now take for granted: how to use the steam wand to create incredibly smooth, glossy microfoam and manipulate that milk as it meets the espresso. Hearts followed. Rosettas followed. Eventually, latte art became a signature of specialty coffee around the world.

David literally wrote the book on it, too. Espresso Coffee: Professional Techniques, first published in the 1990s, documented his approach to espresso preparation and helped spread those techniques far beyond Seattle.

That history is part of our family history.

That same obsession with the how and why of espresso followed her to Rosetta: dialing in the shot, understanding the equipment, properly texturing the milk, and treating coffee as a craft rather than simply a caffeine delivery system.

And that brings us right back to the little leaf in your cup. 🌿

A rosetta isn’t just decoration. Proper latte art requires beautifully textured milk!! Dense, glossy microfoam with almost no visible bubbles and David’s work emphasized that the texture was developed first to make the coffee taste and feel better. The art is what happens when all those pieces come together.

So, no, you won’t find a woman named Rosetta hiding in the back. 😉

Rosetta is right there in the cup and in a family tradition we’re pretty proud to carry forward. ☕️🌿

☕️ We know what day it is. We’ve got you.

The first day back to school has officially arrived, and whether you’re grabbing coffee before your eyes are fully open or circling back once the morning rush is finally over, Rosetta is here for you.

Order ahead for pickup when every minute counts, or come inside and grab a coffee, breakfast, or a little treat to make the day feel just a bit more manageable. 🤎

Here’s to getting everyone out the door, remembering (most of) the things, and starting the school year properly caffeinated.

Happy first day back, Livermore! 📚☕️

Every morning, we’re proofing and baking an assortment of pastries to fill the case for the day. Our pistachio croissants are a favorite, with flaky, buttery layers, a slightly sweet pistachio filling, and that crunchy pistachio crust on top. 💚

But don’t stop there. Butter croissants, apricot, danishes, hazelnut, turnovers, muffins, cookies… there’s plenty to browse.

Next time you’re ordering your coffee, take a peek at the pastry case. You might find a little something you didn’t know you needed. ☕️🥐

Now we want to know: what’s your go-to treat from the case?
