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 dontbshop has been here for 37 years a family owned place .Husband and wife ran it they know everybody's name and your family when you were greeted by them the donuts are outstanding but a few months back the husband was murdered in his home not too far from the donut store ...very sad indeed ...after this very tragic incident they sold the business to other family members the donuts are great but it is just not the same as you could imagine they only stay open till noon.

Coffe and donuts but no Decafe? I walked right back out. I've yet to visit a donut shop that doesn't serve decaffeinated coffee besides Roses. I can't have caffeine but I still enjoy a morning coffe to take my medication with. I feel like Rose Donuts is choosing to eliminate a certain clientele....

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.

This review is about the business and not the donuts. The hours in Google Maps stated they were open. The hours in the window of the shop are different but they should be open. Sadly they were closed. This would have been my first time here and I made a special trip.

Good donuts, but the pricing is a bit much and a bit wonky. It was supposed to be 10 dollars and some change for a dozen. But came out to $28 for 2 dozen. I know sales tax isn't 40%. They were all normal donuts, no bear claws or apple fritters, or any specialty ones.

Worst donuts I’ve ever had in my life. The custard in the filled donut was not real custard. It tasted spoiled. The glazed were dry and greasy and the oil tasted old. The buttermilk donut was way too sweet. If you have any standards for donuts, go somewhere else.

Lady behind the counter was really rude and tries to rush people. Then will pick up the phone mid order with you . She’s asking constantly is that it. Is that it. I was trying to order a dozen donuts. It takes a minutes . Donuts were meh . Not bad not amazing

Our whole family makes the weekly weekend visit to Roses. The breakfast sandwiches are affordable and tasty. We always get combos that include donut holes and a drink. There is a high chair there for the little ones too. Just remember that it is cash only.

Lady was trying to rush me to take my order even after my kids were deciding not even for a minute on What donut they wanted and kept trying to say that’s it that’s it and tried to rush us out the door Rude and unprofessional won’t go here again

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

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

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

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.

Idk what people bought but, it was cheap for me. I got a donut and a coffee and it was like, 2 dollars and some change. Big donuts and they are really good. Super fresh, looks like they make them in the back. Cash only.

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.

Good donuts and drinks. Unfortunately they have yet to evolve to accepting other forms of payment than just cash so be prepared to bring cash or go across the street to the liquor store and get it.

Horrible service, very rude woman behind the register...but the doughnuts are good sized and delicious. Reasonably priced for their size, and always fresh. We always take our doughnuts TO GO.

A small donut shop that is cash only. $1 or $1.25 for a donut, not bad pricing. The donuts were pretty fresh in the morning and there was a good selection. They were soft, not too much glaze.

Donuts are good. But the cashier (old lady)is rude. When I asked the price for the second time, she was very impatient and answered. When I turned to leave she said "my God ,stupid “

it’s alright, i love the lady in the front she’s chill and really nice ima get that number one day but the glazed donuts be dry and then chocolate ones aren’t the best either

Never seem happy to the customers that come in. No smiles!...Get charged different on the breakfast sandwiches from whats on menu. Every time I go. I will not be returning

They have donuts. That's good for at least 3-4 stars. Cash only. They have the whole gamut from tiny to enormous. Don't go here if you are on a diet.

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.

Wow...! Rose Donuts are HUGE...! While everyone else may be cutting back, the donuts at Rose Donuts are twice the size of an ordinary shop.

Great donut shop, way better than dunkin or Krispy kreme. Go here a few times a month for donuts. Also great way to.help small business!

Didnt update the menu after new ownership. No breakfast sandwiches, only breakfast croissants, no eggs. Everything looked wonderful.

Wonderful pastries and excellent sandwiches, at low prices. My favorite sandwich is the tuna, crammed with good stuff, only $4.15 .

I have lived in the neighborhood all my life, and Rose Donuts has been one of my most fondest location memories. Best donuts ever!!

Excellent customer service and very delicious donuts. The croissants are to die for as well as their bagels. Highly reccomended

We've going here for over 30 years. Fluffiest donuts and enjoy seeing the OG workers now and again. RIP the original owner.

Best mom and pops donut shop in San Diego. They have all the classics. Glad to live nearby when I need my donut fix.

Quality donuts and larger than most other places with typical prices. Try the plate sized 'Akaska' glazed donut.

Good for the price. Food is good coffee not so much. Excellent customer service by the lady but not the husband.

Cake donuts are dry and salty. No longer do the orange cake donuts. No longer the quality provided in the past.

GREAT donuts, long time part of the community. So glad they're open again after the tragic loss of the owner. ❤

Nice selection of donuts , however, they only accept cash as payment which is kinda a bummer . …

Good old fashioned donuts with that Mom and Pop feel. I'm all about supporting local businesses

Donut's here are awesome! The only thing you need to be aware of is that they only accept cash.

Alaskan donuts... Yes. If I didn't already have a favorite donut shop, they'd get the 5th star.

Same owners since 1980! They still have the giant glazed donuts and the cake donuts are vegan!

All I can say is wow. The fritters are amazing and so are the regular doughnuts. So amazing.

Great donuts and great people.

Donuts were only ok. They tasted like day olds and we were there before 8am.

Meh. Not bad but nothing special either. I thought it was too expensive.

Slow service and cinnamon roll I got was not as great as other places.

We love these donuts. By far the best we've tasted in San Diego.

Great tasting doughnuts, but bring cash. No credit cards.

Donuts seem to be little bit larger than other places.
