The Rosebud is a historic diner at 381 Summer Street in Somerville, Massachusetts near Davis Square.

The diner was built in 1941 by the Worcester Lunch Car Company for the Nichols family.[2] The diner was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

In 2013, after 40 years of the family's ownership, Evangelos Nichols sold the Rosebud to Martin Bloom. Bloom, the founder of a chain of Italian restaurants called Vinny Testa’s and owner of the Mission Oak Grill, promised to leave the exterior untouched.[3]
