    Bacon maple
    Heather D.

    Went on a Tuesday evening. Staff were in the back and even after acknowledging me left me standing there for a while. Selection was limited, which I would expect at the end of the day. I got a bacon maple doughnut and a crumb coated doughnut. Donuts were fine. Not oily, not overly sweet. I had a couple of questions about what each donut was. They seemed annoyed that I was asking questions. Two donuts and a chocolate milk came to $12. It was also very hot in the store. We are in the middle of a heat advisory. But I imagine it's like that in the summer too.

    I never in the area but when I am I make sure to visit Rose Donuts. I loveeee their donuts have been since I found out about them. Today I got the deluxe croissant and the Vietnamese iced coffee the forever faves. Lines are long but service is fast and the always moving so the wait is never long. Place smells yummy and there's good tables and chairs for you to rest while waiting for your order.

    Such a great experience. The gentleman who greeted us and took our order was so happy and it shined through the entire experience. The donuts were delicious and the customer service was delightful. I wish there were more businesses that had people like this working. It's such a difference maker.

    I have not tried the donuts yet, but the Vietnamese coffee was not bad. It's not as strong as other places and it's not also not made in the traditional phin (they use espresso machine), but the aroma is not bad. They have a 16oz and 24 oz. They're a mom and pop shop with friendly owners and they do take cards! * if you're into seasonal donuts, their Halloween-decorated donuts are currently on sale! I plan to come back to try their donuts; they look like the type of donuts that I like -- cakey!

    Stamp on the box so you know where you got the best donuts ever.

    THE BEST DONUTS IN SAN DIEGO. This location off Morena Blvd at Napa & Linda Vista Road near the 8 & 5 freeways by Old Town IS PHENOMENAL. I have been coming here since 2011. They have the BEST glazed donuts, like biting into an Angel. They use the BEST DONUT DOUGH, which doesn't taste cheap, but is super French Pastry Chef-ish. They have breakfast croissants, sandwiches, and all coffees here. I can't wait for them to expand their location to be more of a cafe. Upgrade your donut experience and become a connoisseur of them like me. I brought the idea of the maple bacon donut to them in 2012 and they have been making them ever since. LOVE THIS BUSINESS! The line is always super long and they move it quickly. It is worth the small wait time. Do it!

    This mom and pop shop has the best donuts I've tried in San Diego, with the list including the renowned donut bar. The flavored donuts were so fragrant, especially the flavors of apple in the apple fritter and the blueberry in the blueberry cake donut. Each donut was so soft, fluffy, and moist. I had leftovers from my order which I ate the next day without reheating and the texture was still incredibly similar to the first day. Quality in both taste and texture were still intact. This can only speak to how amazingly well made these donuts are. My favorite of the bunch and an absolute must-get is the apple fritter.

    Great airy donuts fresh sweet best donuts I've ever had . You walk in and the employees are super friendly . I ordered a croissant breakfast sandwich it was huge for 7.95 . Also got a few donuts and hands down my favorite donut place I've been coming since I was a kid with my. Grandparents after church .

    If you need to grab something early in the morning, Rose Donuts comes thru because they are open from 04:30am-10pm. There's also a parking lot so parking is easy. Not a spot where you'd want to sit and eat, more like a grab and go. The breakfast sandwiches are huge. The donuts are really good too. The Vietnamese iced coffee was a little bit too sweet for my liking. Unfortunately, the economy got to them too because it's over $20 for a dozen donuts. They do take credit cards but add on a 50¢ fee.

    Apple fritter
    Daphnne C.

    10am on a Saturday. Visiting from LA area. Busy but very organized. Everyone friendly, even the other customers. Got my favorite: apple fritter. It's huge and has the crunchy edges (the best part in my opinion). Kiddo picked out a plain donut... before I got one bite into my donut, his was gone! Hahaha Hubby got a plain croissant and a sugar twist. Both good. Iced latte and iced mocha: good! Made to order. And can't ever complain about a drink made with good ice. A few tables inside to eat, clean... display case was probably the cleanest I've seen. We beat the rush (against 10:15am!!!) there was a line to the door when we were paying.

    Dozen mixed Donuts

    Really glad I stopped by Rose Donuts! There was definitely a line when I showed up around 9 AM, but it moved pretty quickly and was totally worth it. The Vietnamese coffee was good--strong and just the right amount of sweet. I loved that they had both small and large sizes for the apple fritter. I got the small one and it was crispy, soft, and super tasty. Also tried the croissant bacon egg sandwich and it was delicious--flaky, fresh, and hit the spot. Definitely a solid local donut shop!

    Apple Fritter and Maple Bar with Bavarian Cream
    Gerald P.

    Our friends invited us to this place and they said it's the best donut shop there is!! So we went after lunch, i ordered half dozen. Blueberry donut. Apple fritters. Chocolate Bavarian Cream. Bavarian Maple Bar. oh my goodness...! They're donuts were so good, so soft and not dense. Moist and not dry. You can also order hit and cold coffee. There were two servers and they both work with precision and everyone is served in a timely manner. There are seats and tables if you prefer staying and just savoring the donuts. I highly recommend this Donut shop, not only because of they're great tasting donuts, also because Rose is my second name! Ha! Have a great day!!

    Did you raise the price of the ham and cheese croissant from $6 to 11? My husband came to pick up brunch this morning and he said he was charged $11 for just the ham and cheese croissant (not combo?)

    There has been a change of management the prices have gone up for the doughnuts and sandwiches .

    Is this the donut shop that is Kris Bryant's favorite?

    If not, it should be.

    Do you make mochi donuts?

    They don't make mochi donuts

    How much is a dozen donuts?

    About 16 bucks for regular donuts if you add in the special donuts its more

    Any keto donuts?

    No, just regular gluten filled with real sugar donuts

    Any vegan donuts?

    No I asked and they said no.

    Any gluten free donuts?

    No, everything is the basic gluten filled recipe. They do appreciate feedback and make new flavors based on requests so you can visit and suggest this.

It's extra pretty if you add toppings like their super sweet mango. All of the scoops of ice cream were on the icier side but flavorful. Coconut was sweet and fantastically refreshing, while the taro was a bit more subtle but nutty and enjoyable. The vanilla was an old fashioned vanilla which was creamier than the other flavors but still definitely a bit icy. I would just get 3 scoops of coconut next time! The added mango on top was super sweet and soft, which contrasted drastically the meaty texture and very subdued flavor of the coconut pieces (maybe shouldn't have eaten it after that sweet mango!). They also have some unique Thai flavors of Lay's chips + special desserts (mango sticky rice, coconut pancakes, coconut pudding, etc.). I'd return for some more coconut ice cream and to try those special desserts! There are a few tables inside and more ornately decorated tables outside. No restrooms. Service was friendly. Fun little place to try new desserts, for a cute quick date, or grab and go for treats :)

It is a very small coffee shop that is really just a counter area without seating. When I walked up, there was one staff member working. He was friendly. They had a small menu of specialty coffee drinks listed for the holidays. It appears that they serve wine as well, as there was a list of wines by the glass on the same menu. I decided on the iced pistachio latte, as I absolutely love pistachio, and it was a bit of a warm day. I asked for nonfat milk, which is getting harder to come by at small coffee shops, so I was glad they could accommodate. I waited a couple minutes, as the staff had to leave to go get my requested nonfat milk from what appears to be a larger storage area. There are not seats in Coffee Culture, however, the small seating in the public market is quite cute and there was plenty of seating near the fountain. My drink was, unfortunately, just OK. It was a typical iced latte. It was slightly sweet and had no pistachio flavor at all. I'm guessing it was made with a simple pistachio syrup, and no real pistachio. I was a bit disappointed. If I were shopping in Old Town, I might stop in Coffee Culture for a quick coffee to go, but I would't order anything too fancy.
