About this business
The Wilde Roast Cafe is a neighborhood restaurant with an updated Victorian feel, but it's not your typical cafe. The cafe is named after Oscar Wilde, the popular 19th Century playwright. Wilde lived much of his life in England, although he was Irish. He was a man with eccentric tastes that were ahead of his time; he favored velvet breeches and peacock feathers. Wilde enjoyed poking fun at the Victorian society in his two most famous plays: An Ideal Husband and The Importance of Being Earnest, both written in 1893. He died i... read more

I love/hate this place – I have a love/hate relationship with this cafe. I can't stop coming in because the coffee and atmosphere are just THAT wonderful. However, I feel compelled to point out the disparity between the cost of food and portion size. Lunch/Dinner are one thing--the sandiwches are decently sized, so if you don't mind paying $10 for a sandwich and a meager handful of reall tasty chips, you won't be disappointed. Do NOT order breakfast here though. My benedict is about half the size (still the same price) as it... read more
There's No Place Like the Roast – As a Northeast resident, every time I want to relax and read with a cup of java or do some work, I end up in the cozy chair at Wilde Roast next to the fireplace. As a straight, single 25-year old female, the unpretentious atmosphere of intellectual fashionable gay men is a dream. The big creamy lattes and gorgeous desserts are a must. The food menu.....doesn't always appeal to my mood. Everything seems to have one quirky ingredient that makes me not want to order it. (grilled cheese with app... read more
Great place! – Very very good atmosphere. A lot of comfy seating and...A nice classy space. Coffee is excellent. Desserts are excellent. The BROWNIES (sitting by the cash register) are truly AMAZING!! Talk about love in the tummy. Add in live music and various events and we have a winner with great people-watching clientele. Mix of sophisticated older women, local yuppies, straight, homosexual. I love the city. Food needs a lot of work. Trying to be too fancy. I'd say stick with a baked brie, crab cakes, maybe a brushetta, f... read more
So-So – Some days the salad dressing tastes fine and other days it tastes like spicy soap. I would welcome a few more vinaigrettes to choose from. Their pizzas leave much to be desired way too doughy. It would be nice to be able to order off the regular menu on weekends instead of only brunch until 2pm. The best menu item is the crab cake salad (change the bread though!) The premise of building a coffee/sandwich joint with Oscar Wilde as the theme is a little obvious and cheesy, but they serve Bubble Up so I will forgive the... read more
come here for dessert! – Charming place, delicious desserts. Am already plotting my return for their brownies, which are really, really, really good.
Really great atmoshphere and food – We went around noon on a Saturday morning and had fast counter service. The food was great and the coffee drinks were very large for their prices. The line got a little out of control later in the afternoon as people kept entering through both the front and back doors. The high table seating could be rearranged to allow for a more definitive line. Otherwise this is a great spot. Looking through the rest of their menu and seeing what other patrons ordered definitely made me want to go back ... read more
