Our Story

Four Roses Cafe in Plainwell, MI is owned and operated by Tom and Jan Rose. We are a casual, fine dining cafe with a focus on fresh, flavorful dishes and outstanding service. Our menu changes daily and will be determined by what is available in local markets each day. We strive to use local farmers and vendors whenever possible and have an emphasis on fresh, sustainable products. The food at Four Roses is simple, fresh and delicious.

Four Roses believes in supporting Michigan breweries, distilleries and wineries. We have 14 rotating taps that are all Michigan craft beers, and we feature seasonal, local beers and ciders in bottles. We also have a number of Michigan wines on our list.

We do take reservations, and planning ahead is key! We use Tock for booking reservations.  You can find the link on this page, exploretock.com or the tock app.
Just in case you can’t get a reservation or are the spontaneous type who doesn’t like to plan, there’s hope! Give us a call at 269-685-1077 on the same day that you want to come in and we will put you on to our wait list.

We think this reservation system makes it easier and more efficient for you to dine in with us. We hope to see you soon - healthy, happy, and hungry!
