Rosella’s Cafe & Convenience

Rosella’s café & convenience store is a handy little shop situated inbetween a number of apartment blocks in the Jewellery Quarter.
Living in the area, unless you walk to Tesco (15 minutes away) shopping for general products such as milk can prove quite difficult.
Personally, I think this shop tries to do too much instead of specialising in one service. They sell household products, make baguettes and even do your dry cleaning!
But for convenience it gets top marks and the shop assistants always seem relatively friendly.

This is a bit of a jack-​of-​all-​trades convenience store with a ‘café’ and dry-​cleaning service available. They stock all of your typical convenience store goods; milk, eggs, bread, cereal and so on. It comes in handy when I’m on my way into the Jewellery Quarter and need to pick up something on the go.
The café isn’t one that I would choose to go to — Rosella’s a bit of a weird amalgamation of services that leaves it all a bit substandard.
Anyway it fulfils it’s purpose of being a convenience store, as does the café — so perhaps the café is best described as more of a convenience café. It’s not the most extraordinary of establishment that you’ll ever visit (in case you were expecting that) — but it’s prototypical, reliable convenience store to get a mars bar and a pint of milk when passing by or in your slippers.

For such a residential street, it is surprising that this ‘corner shop’ isn’t open longer hours. In fact, many times I’ve walked past this shop in the middle of George Street, underneath a big block of flats and it appears closed.
It doesn’t open till 9am, however, it is very handy to have something close by if I run out. We’ve been in their for supplies to ease of a cold as well as basics such as eggs and bread when we’ve been caught short.
Service is always good.
They also have dry cleaning from here now and it’s a point to collect post if you’re out during the day.
There is a café in there and I’m not sure if the attached pizza take away is ever open but I may find out one day!
