    Was on my way to work in Laguna, and wanted to bring donuts. The wonderful Yelp brought me here. Helpful that it's close to a freeway exit, and there's plenty of parking. Ambiance is simple, and inviting. The reviews talk about breakfast burritos, so that would be interesting to try in the future. I will primarily focus on the donuts and service, which were both amazing. Love the variety of donuts, including donut holes. Nice to be able to bring 12 donuts and 12 different donut holes (powdered, sugar, cinnamon, sprinkles) lots of different options including the delicious apple fritters, croissants, and traditional donuts. My biggest compliment is to the service. So nice to be greeted with a smile, complimentary donut, and even asked to bring the donuts to my car since he knew I was holding a toddler in one arm! Going out of the way is so sweet, and is gonna earn someone a 5 star Yelp review

    Supreme Burrito
    Alberto R.

    Was craving a breakfast burrito on my way to San Diego. Decided to stop by here since it was off the freeway & im glad I did! They had a lot of breakfast burrito options and I ended up going with the supreme and grabbed a donut as well! Craving was satisfied and the service was great! Greeted with a smile and everyone was nice & friendly! Definitely recommend this spot

    Blueberry Cake Donut

    My husband and I were craving a breakfast burrito after our one night stay at Doheny State Beach Campground and we came across Rose Cafe & Donuts. We came early Friday morning and it was packed. There were a lot of regulars where the owners knew their orders and everyone that worked there was so friendly. We ended up ordering the Supreme burrito to share (egg, sausage, bacon, ham, hashbrowns, and cheddar), maple donut, and a blueberry cake donut...they even added an extra blueberry donut for free! The Supreme burrito was delicious and I loved how there was so much filling compared to the tortilla. Most breakfast burritos i've had had way too much tortilla but this one had more filling. It was cut perfectly in half and the presentation was gorgeous. No wonder this place is a hit! Friendly service and amazing breakfast burritos. Next time I really want to try the ones with avocado in them :) Will definitely be back to this place whenever I am in the area!

    Maple Bacon Donut
    John M.

    Consistently good. No wonder it is crowded all morning. Top 5 of not top 3 breakfast burritos in the San Clemente area. Supreme Breakfast Burrito: eggs, cheese, ham, bacon AND sausage. A marvelous combo. Enormous. I eat 1/2 for two breakfasts. The Wife loves the classic breakfast burrito with bacon. Huge apple fritter takes me 4 days to eat. The Wife loves the bacon maple donut. This time my fritter was pretty hard. I'm sure it's fresh, but maybe over cooked? I still ate it all!! Also, the salsa was a bit lacking. Can't put my finger on it. This place rocks and you should go. Owner is super nice and all employees friendly. I'll be back again and again. Go. Eat Well. HAVE FUN!!

    First time here! The combo sandwiches were very fresh, savory, crispy, flavorful, and delicious. Also the nacho cheese Doritos were super crunchy and really tasty, and the soda was refreshing, too. Good service, nice atmosphere, and I had an excellent experience today.

    Supreme breakfast burrito with everything

    We got the Supreme burrito. One without cheese and ham. These burritos are meaty. The eggs were nice and fluffy and the hash brown was crispy. The ratio of the ingredients was perfect and every bite was tasty! The breakfast burritos from Rose are definitely in my top two. We ordered takeout and my husband said the service was fantastic! Rose Cafe will definitely be one of our go two spots!

    This store is really a one stop shop for everything breakfast. You want donuts, they have it... burritos, yep... sandwiches, sure.... Coffee, of course. I was making my way down South for a couple of hikes and I stopped here for a burrito which I can have for breakfast and lunch. At least that was what I was hoping for, just a very large burrito. I ended up with the CA burrito which has bacon and ham and sausage and eggs and avocado. I did not order the cheese or sour cream. The burrito did not disappoint... It was huge! I didn't know it, but what I ordered was one of the most popular item and I can see why. The burrito was truly large enough for me to have as both breakfast and lunch on the trail. The donuts looked so good but I refrained from getting one. Parking was easy. The service was super friendly and there appears to be a lot of regulars. Small inside and outside seating available. Please come visit to create your own experience.

    Nicest people, great vibe, best donuts Meant to come here ever since seeing 'Donut King'- going to have to make up for lost time because so darn good. Including a big Homer Simpson sized donut:)

    Breakfast Burrito
    Brett P.

    Blueberry fritter instead of apple Burritos large and delicious Seating indoors and out, but not much Pricey

    Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

    Perfect start to the day when someone with good energy welcomes you their donut shop. Service was amazing the owner seems very appreciative of every customer. I live in LA and work sometimes in San Diego county, definitely coming back again.

    Delicious breakfast burrito - not too big and not too small! The workers were friendly, and it felt like a small town vibe bc so many people were there from the community! Easy to pick up a sandwich or donuts and have a beach picnic

    Lots of home made donuts.

    Our first morning on the ocean vacation and we were both jetlagged and hungry at 7 AM. We looked at Yelp and there were two breakfast places, literally right behind us, that would be a five minute walk, but up the cliff about 300 feet above us, which meant a five minute drive including an interstate portion. Ok. We went there. At the strip mall, we saw the two and decided to enter the smaller, cozy looking one. We were right. Rose Donuts is a muffin, donuts and bagel emporium. With awesome coffee. And the board announced more complex breakfast items that I had not the space for. Outside, several groups of people were having amicable conversations on the ample outside seating - in at least three languages- while inside, it was non stop activity. I got a walnut bran muffin that looked beautiful and tasted even better. As well as an almond milk latte for me and a regular for my other half. Service was very courteous and efficient. A true gem of a breakfast shop.

    Love the grilled chicken wrap. Add some jalapeños for some spice. Breakfast burritos. Hamburgers. And their donuts are to die for.

    An updated review as of 2026…read more Haven't been since their store was just a tiny one and that was years ago, I'm excited that they have expand their bakery with more seating and love the huge display of bake goods (I didn't get to take a picture of it on this visit but I'll update soon). They are always busy and I don't blame them. Now that I work up the street, I'm making it my mission to treat my staff at work with some of these heavenly goods. Services were quickly, lots of staff and I'm just amaze how fast they work. Food. OMG! It was crispy and fluffy, the layers and THE CUSTARD....I could eat a whole jar of it if I could. Made my staff pretty happy on the sweet treat, and to some a better day. The pastries I got was a mixed berry bateau (2) and (1) Limoncello Tiramisu (DEVINE). Can't wait to come and for more. 10/10

    Haven't found the perfect Kouign Amann since a private French baker had a pop-up sale in San Mateo…read more4 years ago. Despite trying so many since then, between here and even Paris, they've just been total flops. It's crazy how many variations there are, from doughy to bready to basically just a croissant. Have to say Chaupain's, which I found at the Cardiff 101 farmer's market, was AMAZING. I wish I had bought more than one; I had just been disappointed so many times, and Paris was the last straw for me lmao! Service in the tent was super friendly and he was surprised I knew was a Kouign Amann was. If you're a butter/sugar/pastry fan, you'll love their Kouign Amann (Queen amann)

    Yes, it's all about the cake. This homemade cake shop is highly regarded locally…read more All the desserts are made with fresh ingredients, and have an excellent appearance. While the prices are slightly higher than in other places, this shop offers special orders and various cakes. We came here after a fest at Jimmy's famous American tavern restaurant. So we decided to just buy one raspberry cupcake. I had it for breakfast in the morning. It was super delicious. It was a very satisfying chocolate cupcake with a raspberry cream on top covered in fine chocolate. I regretted that we discovered it the night just before we departed. Also, our hotel was just crossing the street from this shop. We stayed at the hotel for four days and three nights. All in all, the pastries and the service quality were truly exceptional.

This time for my birthday, I thought we'd try a standard flavor cake since they should be making it on the regular. We got the lemon delight. It was super sweet. I couldn't eat any of the frosting and the frosting filling next to the lemon was very sweet. They also messed up my name. I remember my husband spelling out my name like the military nato style too but what was written on the order form was wrong. And then on the cake was wrong and didn't even match the order form. I know my name is difficult but I guess the decorator wasn't there so it was a difficult fix. They apologized and gave us candles. On a side note and not affecting this rating: We ate at the cafe side once and it was good. But we sat outside and had a bad experience unrelated to the cafe. Someone with their huge hairy dog was just outside the cafe and rubbing their long hair dog getting it into the air and the wind was blowing it all over our food and drinks and also in the nearby tables. Definitely killed the appetite. This is not affecting the rating. Rating is based solely on the cakes.
