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

Great NE Cafe Wilde Roast is a great cafe to get a great lunch or a specialty drink. It's especially fun to go in the summer and sit outside, eat, and watch all the NE has to offer buzz around you!

Great ambiance The atmosphere at Wilde Roast is awesome. It is a great place to hang out, study, and pack on the pounds with their delicious desserts and cofee drinks.

Bland overpriced food, but great atmosphere! – Had a small personal pizza about 8 inches (Bland as chef boyardee) and a can of coke - price: $13.27 Husband had a Rachel sandwich and the Chevre app, a bottle of reeds ginger brew, and a creme puff Total for him - about $30, for real! I would never eat there again, but would go for the coffee and desserts.

Requires a few tweaks! – Atmospher is SO relaxing here. Nice lighting, browns, artwork, fireplace, live music, variety of seating options. The coffee is the best in town. The desserts are to die for. I think the food is trying too hard. Most is very good (I do not like the salad dressing) but I think would better if they had some good, hearty, home cooking. Think soups, salads, meat loaf, mac/cheese, bread pudding, etc. A great spot none-the-less

Horrible food – I live in the neighborhood and I really wanted to love this place...but I can't. I have been here several times and the only thing on the menu that is good are the cornmeal pancakes for brunch/breakfast. The rest of it...bland, dry, tasteless and overpriced. Oh, don't forget the rude service on the side. The lattes are good too and that's about it. One more thing, I strongly question the sanitation of the place...my boyfriend swears he saw creature scurrying across the floor but in an effort not to scare the ... read more

Disapointed...not too veggie friendly-be careful, there are some things that seem vegetarian and are not – I ate here on the recommend of a friend...it was not very good. I am a vegetarian and so is my husband. We later found out that our order contained gelatin. Very sad. I was also upset due to the fact that there was no where to sit. The place was packed with single people and their laptops-we did ask someone who was just nursing a cup of coffee if we could share the table with him. (it sat 4) He just left. Oh well..this ... read more

Meh – This place is okay. The coffee is good, as are the pastries and sweet treats but the entrees are too pricey for what they are. And what they are, what they is, is dry and kind of tasteless. I had the mac and cheese and a salad and it wasn't worth the money. Honestly, save your money...we're in a recession!

Great coffee, dessert, and atmosphere! My friends and I like going here for coffee and music. They have music occasionally in the evenings and it is always something good. The soups and salads are great too. Prices are affordable, maybe a bit high but well worth the price!

Favorite new hangout! – Since my first visit just a few months ago, Wilde Roast has quickly become my new favorite place to meet up with friends for a good catching up session. The layout and choice of seating really encourage Wilde's patrons to sit and chat for hours upon end. It's warm and inviting, the drinks and desserts are fabulous (don't miss the pumpkin pie! It's simple, but so good!), and the food is for the most part very good. Despite a few minor disappointments, I've found that both their Reuben and artichoke dip... read more
