We absolutely love this place!…read more This was our first time visiting their new location, the cashier said it has a larger kitchen. I'm so happy for them! The decor is so cute like stepping into a cartoon and the donuts are the main attraction. The chocolate bar came in around $2 and the other donuts we bought were up to $6. I was happy to see they still have the Homer, which is one of my favorites and the Vanilla Bean. Looks like they've added some new additions, namely cinnamon rolls. My daughter's favorite thing when she was younger was the strawberry milk on tap. I think it was the novelty of milk being on tap. It felt special for her as a kid. Now it looks like they've bottled it and put it in the refrigerated section near check out, for a quick and convenient beverage to go. There's a small section for Donut Bar merch with all sorts of things to choose from and some outdoor seating for enjoying your sweet treats on a glorious San Diego day. The donuts came in a simple white box with a black and white sticker. There's a surprise within that sticker! The sticker says to scan the QR code to bring the image to life...so we did! It's a super cute warm welcome from Chef Santiago! It looks like they've went towards an Augmented Reality theme. I didn't notice an upstairs at this location and the cashier said they no longer have the encore, which is something I used to love. It was when the Donut Bar reopened around 5pm at night on weekends, if I remember correctly. It was a blast. Overall, it's still our go to donut place when visiting San Diego. The employees are friendly and welcoming, and the donuts are sweet and yeasty. We love it!

Comic con for the win!!!!…read more This place goes all out every year with the Comic-Con donuts. Every year they bring their unique donuts into the heart of Comic-Con with their pop-ups. I usually never have luck grabbing one at their donuts at the pop-ups, but it's good to know that they offer their pop-up comic con donuts at their main shop by Little Italy. Drove down Sunday morning to grab my hand on this year's batch. With Stitch, Batman, and Pokémon, this year's donuts were amazing. The donuts are $8, and you're basically paying for the design. They are pretty, but they don't hold much flavor other than looks; it's just a basic donut that looks really good. But I remember them tasting different from all angles, but I guess this year was different. Regardless, the donuts were really good and well worth the trip. Paid it with chocolate milk or coffee and wow just wow. I Can't wait for next year.

I finally stopped by Rose Donuts after driving past it so many times while working in the area. One…read morething I appreciated right away was that they take credit cards. The specialty donuts are a little on the pricey side, but they have a great selection. I'm always on the hunt for the best apple fritter, and my second favorite donut is a glazed old fashioned, so those were the two I had to try. The apple fritter was okay. It was a little on the dry side, but I did like all the crispy glazed nubbins on the outside. I just wish it had a stronger apple flavor. The maple glazed old fashioned was the winner for me. The cake was soft and moist, and the maple glaze was the perfect thickness and consistency. I'd definitely come back for that one.

I love the service, I love the price of the coffee, Honestly I love everything about this place. The coffee is always on point and the staff is super friendly. Don't forget to grab a banana bread either, legit 1000/10 super soft and not to sweet. The donuts are really good too, which makes it even better when you want a little sweet treat with your drink. Another big plus is there's a lot of parking, so it's super easy to stop by. They also open early, which is perfect if you're trying to grab coffee before work. If you love Vietnamese coffee, this spot is a must try!

I did like that the donut holes weren't too sweet & didn't have an oily aftertaste! I did notice that there are new owners now -- they're not as friendly as I would've hoped as they didn't really greet customers as they came in, but the donuts are good enough that I'd consider going back.

FOR THE WIN!!! (4.75 stars)…read more I love donuts. And I tend to stick to basic classical donuts. And therefore I am late to the trend with the mochi donuts! This location is inside Bober Tea and Coffee. There is a glass casing with several flavors to choose from and they sell at $3 a piece. The one that stood out to me was the chocolate with sprinkles. Upon receiving it in a paper pocket bag, the icing was rubbing off on the bag. That immediately told me this is super fresh! I could already feel the softness of the donut. The little sectioned off ball looking segments of the donut are also a game changer when it comes to eating - easier to eat without making a mess! The texture was bouncy, soft, lightly chewy and a little stretchy... the texture was fun and I found myself wanting another afterwards. I do wish they had offer other flavors that don't sounds too sweet because the other flavors didn't really catch me. Until the next review...

First plus point for this store is they open at 9am. Horray, I can get boba early in the morning…read more The store is cute, clean and staff are friendly. I got the ube coffee with boba and I love it. Everything goes well together. I got crème brûlée, matcha and chocolate donut and all very tasty.

Our favorites we'd recommend is the coconut cream pie and the strawberry shortcake. The bacon maple still had an amazing texture and we loved how fluffy and satisfying the dough is made but I wasn't a fan of the bacon fat taste with the maple even though I usually like a sweet+savory combo. Over all we're gonna buy again on Mother's Day morning!

She was helping someone else but quickly wrapped up to take my order. The space was clean with plenty of seating. It was so hard to decide so I grabbed a few to share: Maple Bacon, Coconut Cream, Lemon and Horchata. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and appreciated that they were not overly nor greasy. The fluffiness reminded me more of a beignet and brioche. Will be back to try more flavors! 5/13- We returned for more. These were made to order and topping to dough ratio was too much. Maybe they were being generous, but they were overly sweet today. Bourbon Caramel, Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon, Blueberry Hill, Mango Margarita and Turtle Cheesecake. All great flavors, just too much of it.
