Visited Rose donuts for the first time today. Ordered the chicken salad sandwich with everything and 2 donuts; 1 glazed twist and 1 maple glazed with bacon. The sandwich is a solid 8 on a scale from 1-10. No complaints there, all the veggies super fresh, crisp cold lettuce, lots of pickels, perfect croissant which was toasted so it was crisp and flakey on the crust. A really good sandwich! I could even go up to a 9 on it.
Now the glazed twist which is my go to choice for donuts. Light, soft, super fresh tasting. Really good. But the super star was that maple bacon. Oh 👏 my 👏 goodness 👏 !!! Donut, super soft, fluffy, fresh...maple, perfectly sweet, not overly sweet. Nice real maple flavor; the bacon, perfectly crisp and the bacon ratio was perfect! Perfect balance of salt to sweet. Did I mention it was perfect? Well it was. PERFECT!!! Go here. Get the bacon maple donut. You're welcome.
Has been my favorite donut place since I was very little! Friendly staff, INCREDIBLE quality, and a perfect little slice of San Diego. A must-try locally owned chain. Check hours before arriving, not usually open in afternoon.
Really nice donuts and they have a specialty dozen that mimics a dozen roses type order (meaning special donuts in a long delivery box). Some items can sell out quickly so plan ahead for Friday/payday mornings. The standard sugar donuts, buttermilk bars and apple fritters are all excellent.
We've going here for over 30 years. Fluffiest donuts and enjoy seeing the OG workers now and again. RIP the original owner.
Absolutely amazing! Donuts were very fluffy, muffins were delicious and the meat filled pastries were top notch. The iced coffee was the best part!
Love the freshly made croissants and coffee. Nice selection of donuts every morning. There is plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating.
The chinese family that owns this place is always so friendly and ready to take your order. In the early morning, this place can have especially long lines--even on the weekend because their donuts are really good. Their donuts are always fresh, not greasy, and have just the right amount of sweetness to them. Their cake donuts as well as their fried-donuts are both things to look forward to. One of the best things about this place: they serve mega-big donuts here in select flavors. I love buying those and bringing them to people because they never expect donuts to be the size of their heads!
Really delicious and very FRESH Donuts! Lots of variety and great flavors to choose from. Totally worth the stop while you're in this part of town. Their Vietnamese iced coffee was also very excellent. Fast service but, cash only so don't forget to bring at least 10$ cuz these donuts are some you will want to take a few extra with.
Just in town for a few days, craving donuts. Ordered online to be delivered, (by post mates). The driver got lost but no big deal. The donuts i recieved were no where even near the donuts I ordered... turns out if you order "1/2 doz donuts" you should call and actually tell them exactly which donuts you want or, even tho the site says you can pick there, or they just do a random selection. So the girl I talked to there, Gabby, not only explained it all to me but she got ahold of the delivery company, after I had tried for half an hour, got my order refunded, and then offered me another half dozen on another day! THAT'S great customer service!! I will be ordering again but NOT with a delivery service!!
This place is delicious, I love their sandwiches. The only thing is I think they clean their sandwich board with acetone or something because it smells like it. Other than that fair prices and creative donuts.
