. it's hard to beat Roses plain glazed donut. best plain glazed donut ive found.. and there HOURS!!! really puts them at serious advantage over most donuts shops.. those women in their work their butts off... it's definitely a CenterPoint for the local community

Best donuts in Southern California. We recently moved to OC and we haven't found anything nearly as good as Rose. We miss this shop and all the employees. They always remembered our order. It was like walking onto the set of Cheers. If you haven't been, you're missing out.

Rose Donuts has always been a go to when I'm in the area and glazed twist and donut never disappoints. It's a quick grab and go shop. Service was quick! They have dining area to sit as well. It's oddly quiet inside.

Very friendly staff! I have been here a handful of times now and every time the donuts are fresh and taste very natural. Many other donut shops have an artificial aftertaste or their custard filling tastes gross. Not the case here at Rose donuts. They have a huge variety of traditional donut offerings. They are alway very clean. And they make great coffee drinks as well. Excellent on all levels. Known by many locals as the best in SD and it's apparent why.

If you're looking for a Mom & pop donut shop serving up great classics with no fancy frills, Rose Donuts is for you. The ladies working this donut shop are extremely friendly and patient. There was a homeless man in front of me when I went and he took about five minutes trying to decide on a single donut and the ladies attitude towards him was genuine and you can automatically tell that they are wonderful people. I came in Tuesday morning around 8am and was immediately greeted by the fresh scent of warm ham & cheese croissants that had just been placed on display. It tempted me to get one, but I was there for dozens of donuts. I went with all the classic yeast donuts and a few cake ones. The twists, bars, and filled donuts are an additional cost, but only by .20 cents. My coworkers all enjoyed the donuts and I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for something simple.

Arr mateys, Captain 619, hear me, listen up ye scallywags! I be tellin' ye about me new treasure trove - Rose Donuts in San Diego! This place be me new haunt, and let me tell ye, the donuts here be as sweet as a siren's song. From the moment I set foot in this fine establishment, I be greeted by the smell of freshly baked pastries and the sight of colorful confections that would make even Blackbeard himself drool with envy.

I be particularly fond of the chocolate donuts, so light and fluffy they be like clouds in me mouth. And the jelly-filled treasures be bursting with flavor like a cannonball hitting a ship's hull. Every bite be a journey to the seven seas of flavor. So if ye be in San Diego and be lookin' for a place to satisfy yer sweet tooth, look no further than Rose Donuts. This be a place fit for a pirate king, and I be raisin' me Jolly Roger in salute to this fine establishment. Aaarrrggghhh!

I was on the hunt for some bomb donuts and based on all the reviews on yelp, I checked this place out. It was easy to find, but the parking lot was narrow and very busy between all the different businesses there. I was lucky enough to find a space. There was a line in the late afternoon so you know it's gotta a good reputation! I didn't have to wait too long because they were working very efficiently. Some of the selections were already out, but I did ask for something specific and they pulled it from the back, so I definitely recommend if you don't see what you want just to ask them. Prices were very normal and it's just a little bit higher quality of a Mom and Pop type Donut shop.

The donuts are delicious, the service is fab and the chicken salad sandwich is my favorite in the land at this sweet and clean little corner shop! Get it on a light and flaky croissant. Bonus: there's a parking lot too!

This place really is good. I had to update my review. The glazed donuts are still the best. Fresh and delicious. The iced latte is good and strong and not overly sweet so perfect. The breakfast sandwiches are excellent also. The bagels are good and delicious and the croissants are buttery and flaky. The lines are out the door but don't let that intimidate you. They are fast and super friendly. Excellent staff.

Definitely a solid choice for a donut. I didn't think they were anything out of this world, but they definitely weren't bad; maybe just a bit overhyped. The cake-y donuts were way better than the yeast-y ones. One small complaint - we ordered a white cream filled donut (as seen in the pic) but it was actually custard filled. Bit of a bummer but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it was still good. The ambience here is also not it... definitely plan to just take these to go.
