Passion, freedom, lightness and sensuality are the four key elements that define the vision of the Messika universe. Cakes and jewellery are much more than just objects or food. They are universal symbols of love, care and exquisite attention to detail.
Just a few minutes walk from here you can discover the beautiful world of Gómez and Molina. What began in 1969 as a small family business has grown into one of the leading jewellers in Marbella. They are ambassadors of the best international jewellery and watch brands, but they still have the personal attention to their clients that you would expect from a business with family ethics. Whenever I have a special event, as they are my trusted jewellers, they are the first people that I consult for inspiration and imaginative ideas. Marina and the whole team will both make you feel at home and help you shine brilliantly brightly!

ROSAS Why
Although it may seem like it, my favourite flower is not roses! When I lived in Paris, my aunt always used to fill the house with fresh lilies. Since then, they have been my scent and my flower.
I called my project Rosas Café because I decorated the walls with 30,000 silk roses of 6 different shades, which give color to everything you see around you. @anarosascafe
Café?
During my career in the fashion industry, I was always surrounded by inspirational people and places. Despite a hectic schedule of worldwide fashion shoots, I took time on my travels to make a mental note of things that moved me. From architecture to food, fine art to fashion, I was able to collect a mixture of inspirational ideas.
My dream was always to bring my beliefs to reality, to create a cosy setting that would showcase my personal passions and experiences: healthy food, decoration, fashion and my love of animals, particularly dogs.
I was born in the beautiful and historic city of Salamanca and even though my career included living in Cape Town, Milan or Dubai. I have always regarded Marbella, with its cosmopolitan culture and enviable lifestyle as my home.
OUR STORY, OUR PLACE 5
WELCOME to the place
I always dreamed of
And that is when my dream returned...
I wanted to create something different and distinctive. A creative space that reflected everything beautiful and artistic that inspires me. I also wanted it to represent my own values - integrity in everything that I do, a desire to create a nurturing community and a genuine feeling of family.
Initially, we were going to open in a luxury hotel in Marbella, but, just a couple of months before we were due to open, our vision and theirs didn’t see eye to eye and negotiations stalled. But everything happens for a reason!
The first was when Bally, my partner, proposed marriage. The second was when he suggested that we should open Rosas ourselves. My answer to both was “Yes!”
Within days, we had found the perfect location for Rosas Café and with a huge leap of faith and our belief in the dream, we began the journey. Six years later Rosas Café is thriving and we are about to start a new and exciting chapter, we are franchising globally.
It hasn’t always been a bed of roses. But with love, sweat and literally tears, we have made Rosas Café a reality. And I always believed that dreams, with large doses of enthusiasm, effort and a great team around you do come true!
OUR STORY, OUR PLACE 7
Coffee OUR PHILOSOPHY
Every great business needs a central philosophy, at Rosas Café, we are no different.
Just as no two people are the same, our experience has taught us that no two types of coffee are alike. Therefore, we have carefully selected our coffee based on the two most crucial factors that define our business: love and care
At Rosas Café, we proudly serve Tunki coffee, which we believe to be the finest in the world. However, don’t just take our word for it. The American Specialty Coffee Association, a reputable authority in the coffee industry, has crowned Tunki as the best coffee globally.
While we are deeply passionate about coffee, we also wholeheartedly believe in the strong values and inspiring stories that make each cup exceptional. Located in the fertile Puno jungle of Tunkimayo, 1200 meters above sea level, the husband and wife team of Wilson Sucaticona and Luz Celia diligently tend to the land using traditional methods passed down through generations for centuries.
As a Rainforest Alliance-certified organic farm, the couple cultivate their crops without chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides, and hand-harvest their coffee beans. Following the harvest, the beans are meticulously washed with fresh spring water from the Andean mountains and sun-dried in the South American warmth.
This meticulous artisanal process ensures that even the slightest flaw is eliminated, resulting in an award-winning and remarkable final product – your coffee! Such dedication and expertise require time, but at Rosas Café, we view this as time well invested, reflecting our core values of fair trade and an unwavering commitment to nature and quality.
The exceptional quality is immediately evident from the first sip. With a captivating and distinct flavour profile of molasses and chocolate, coupled with a seductive floral aroma, you will instantly understand why Tunki stands out as the world’s finest coffee.

are too! family
At Rosas Café, the whole family is welcome, so there is no way our beloved four-legged friends were going to be left out!
The may not be able to talk to us, but every animal lover knows that pets have feelings, they love us, they take care of us, they keep us company and they show us their affection unconditionally daily. That’s why we thought it was only fair that we show our love for them with a special menu created with love and care.

They deserve the best treat
At Rosas Café we don’t just care about feeding our pets, but also about finding reliable, trustworthy and empathetic people to take care of their hair and skin in a way that leaves them looking and feeling their best.
And that person is Olga from Knock Knock Dog @knockknockdogmarbella +34 633454886.
Olga has been passionate about animals since she was a child. She first learnt to care for and feed them from a young age on her grandparents’ farm. Later Olga decided to turn her passion and hobby into something professional and is now fully licenced in dog grooming, dermatology and canine ozone therapy.
And the best thing of all? If you are too busy to bring your pet to Knock Knock Dog, Olga will bring the salon experience to your doorstep in her fully-equipped mobile unit.

FROM OUR FIRST STEPS until today...
Love the job that you do and you will never have to work another day of your life. That’s a saying that I absolutely believe in
From the day that I first signed the contract for Rosas Café, it has been more than true, even if some days are particularly challenging. The six years since then have flown by, but there are so many special memories and milestones since then that I am incredibly proud of.
Designing and constructing my dream involved many sleepless nights, meetings with architects and suppliers to get every detail just right, and the anxiety that after all our hard work, people would not share my dream and my vision. The response was overwhelming. Since Rosas Café opened its doors in June 2018, I have had nothing but huge support and love from both regulars who make Rosas Café their favourite place, to the many tourists who often stop by before they have even unpacked their luggage!
Signing the contract March 2018

Rosas Café Franchise Rosas café team
I still remember the first day I sat down, 6 weeks or so before the grand opening of Rosas Café to look for our perfect team. The quest for the ideal candidates was not just about skills and language proficiency; it was about finding individuals who could embrace my vision of Rosas Café as a family. We sought friendly, detail-oriented team members who enjoyed the company of families, dogs, and an international clientele and slowly but surely we discovered gems like Jeremy, now our esteemed head chef, who started as a runner and advanced through hard work and dedicationy, or Lydia, also someone who has been with us from day 1. She took a small pause to be a mom of two beautiful kids, and came back to us, her home away from home.
Others came later, Nesi and Ada baking beautiful cakes, Veni and Jana managing the overall operation, Leo with his great customer service, Oumaima and her smile, our great team of baristas Ana, Gaby and Natalia or Jomari, Javi, Esteban, Yoha-
na in the kitchen, Inma, Vesi, Neyla among others in front of house… I could go on and on because every single one of them is special to me and with time we have been building a team I am profoundly proud of.
We are a very diverse team with staff from Venezuela, Philippines, Morocco, Argentina, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, Paraguay, Moldova, Slovakia…this in turn enhances our work environment by bringing different perspectives, experiences and skills.
I feel responsible for them and their family’s and therefore I am always working hard to ensure Rosas Café is doing well so in exchange they are doing well. Although I am constantly travelling and working on other projects I am only a phone call away and I try to spend as much time as I can with them when I am, at home.
Acknowledging the vital role they play in the growth and prosperity of Rosas Café, I express my heartfelt thanks to each member of our team.
Rosas Café has become a place where everyone, no matter how old they are, or where they are from, can take a break from the outside world, and enjoy wonderful food and drink in a peaceful atmosphere. Many of our clients – who have since become friends and trusted advisors – have asked when I am going to open a Rosas Café in their hometown, as it is a successful concept with a signature style that works internationally. As a result of this,and after 6 years of hard work, I
am delighted to announce that Rosas Café will be offering franchise opportunities this year, building on our international reputation, brand strength, attention to detail and passion for what we do.
If you would like to become part of our wonderful family, please do not hesitate to contact us (franchising@rosas.cafe).
We would be delighted to welcome you into the next chapter in the Rosas Café story!

My favourite places to fully enjoy life in Marbella
Combining an inspired contemporary approach with traditional expertise I think that 99 Sushi Bar & Restaurant has set a new standard in Japanese cuisine on the coast. Situated in the majestic Anantara Villa Padierna Palace Resort, the chefs use the finest ingredients to create something very special indeed. The summer terrace is perfect for nights under the stars.
@anantaramarbella
The Marbella Lifestyle is the best in the world. There are so many wonderful ways to enjoy your “down time”, but here are a few of my favourites!
SEA GRILL
The absolute epitome of stylish Mediterranean dining. Sea Grill, located in the fabulous Puente Romano Hotel has one of the most stunning settings with uninterrupted views over the beach and the sea towards Africa. The food is equally outstanding, with beautifully prepared and presented seafood and fish dishes.
@seagrillrestaurant
This wonderfully intimate restaurant is found in the heart of the Marbella Club Hotel, which has been a discreet destination for royalty and the rich and famous since the 50s. I love to dine al fresco on El Patio’s shaded terrace, with the delicious scent of jasmine in the air! Don’t forget to visit the Chanel, Louis Vuitton or Loewe boutiques there.
@marbellaclubh
When the Marbella lifestyle gets too much and I need a little “me time” to relax and recharge, one of my favourite places is La Reserva de Sotogrande. Less than 30 minutes’ drive from Puerto Banus, the man made lagoon with its white sand beach and stunning mountain backdrop, is the perfect location for me to reflect and reenergise
@lareservaclub_sotogrande
Just 10 minutes walk from Rosas Café is my favourite Pilates Studio. VIDDA Pilates is the dream of Lorena and David, two young entrepreneurs who bring positive energy, professionalism and enthusiasm to all their clients. So not only will you see great results, but you will also have fun while you take care of your body.
@viddapilates
Looking great is an important part of the Marbella lifestyle. Who doesn’t want to go a little glam now and then? Two of the best beauty salons can be found a short walk from Rosas Café - Glow Beauty (@glowbeautypuertobanus) and The Bardou (@thebardoumarbella) are temples of beauty with great professionals who work with the best products.
I also highly recommend Liza Mayne, with over 16 years of experience in hair and make up she is ALWAYS my go to person when I need to get ready for an event or a photoshoot. Not only does Liza specialise in making you look radiant for your special event, but she is also one of the nicest people in Marbella!

is a shopper’s paradise
We are spoilt for choice when it comes to a spot of “retail therapy”, but these are just a few of my favourites. I cannot recommend Zimmermann highly enough. I adore their bohemian chic style , especially this season’s Matchmaker and Resort Swim collections.
Dior, in the heart of “The Port” recently underwent a renovation, and teased the public with a preview of a Frida Kahlo inspired collection on the screens while the work was being completed. That is what you call stylish!
I also love the effortless style of Fendi, whose collections always manage to be contemporary and yet classic at the same time, while Spanish fashion house Loewe has a “to die for” range of bags and leather goods, utilising Spain’s traditional skill with leather.
I have enjoyed exploring the new arrival to Puerto Banus, Celine, with their exciting range of womenswear, bags and accessories. Finally after a hectic tour of the shops, my guilty pleasure is to enjoy a crepe at the legendary La Creperie, which has been open for business in the same location since the 70s!
Since its opening, Rosas Café has garnered significant global attention from the press. We are delighted and honored to have been prominently fea-
tured in internationally recognized publications, and we are committed to expanding our presence into new territories.
