Located in the heart of Franklin, New York, at 435 Main St, The Tulip And The Rose Cafe stands as a welcoming sanctuary for those who appreciate the finer nuances of a relaxed dining experience. Our establishment was founded on the simple belief that a cafe should be more than just a place to grab a quick bite; it should be a community hub where the pace of life slows down, allowing guests to savor the moment. Whether you are a local resident looking for your new favorite morning ritual or a traveler passing through the scenic landscapes of New York, our doors are open to provide a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
The philosophy behind our cafe is rooted in the timeless elegance of nature, reflected in our name. Just as a garden requires patience, care, and a keen eye for detail, we approach our service and culinary offerings with the same level of dedication. We believe that the quality of an experience is defined by the small touches—the way the light hits the table, the genuine smile of our staff, and the consistent quality of every item served. We strive to create an environment where every guest feels seen, heard, and valued, fostering a sense of belonging that is increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world.

The food was greasy and tasteless and the service was nonexistent. After 35 minutes of sitting at the table they placed us at, I had to go and find someone to get us glasses of water. If you’re part of the commune they treat you great and get your order immediately. Everyone else can wait. I’ve never been back, nor will I. More

It’s a cool place, and the baklava is amazing! The food takes a while to get out, but I love the fact that they switch up the menu, though it is kind of limited! :) the atmosphere is nice as well More

We traveled to Franklin in 2023 over thanksgiving. We ate here twice and have regarded it as our favorite restaurant we’ve ever been to since. Phenomenal fried chicken, interesting and intentional flavors throughout a clearly curated small menu. Thank you! More

I arrived just at closing time. Without hesitation, the young man motioned for me to come in. After having traveled all day on a motorcycle, I was starving. The hamburger that Salim suggested was fantastic! The atmosphere was equal to the food. These are good folks. Worth a stop if you’re ever in Franklin. More

There were only 7 food items on the dinner menu, so not a lot to choose from. The chicken wings were tangy and delicious. The roast chicken was alright, but I wasn’t a fan of the grain that it was served with. I really liked the peanut sauce and the salad though. Everything was also a bit expensive, with entrees between $20-35. More
