    Beautiful storefront

    Have a need that can only be filled by a good doughnut? Look no further. Sweetwater's (here called SW's) is legendary in the area, and for good reason. The options are many, and the product is phenomenal (though not for your waistline). If you haven't tried one of their locations, you're missing out (unless you're gluten free, in which case I'm very sorry).

    Who doesn't like some delicious fried bread covered in sugar!!! This is a gem of a donut place. They have a ton of varieties and all the donuts are made fresh daily! I had the traditional glazed donut and a taste of the Bavarian cream filled donut. So delicious! If you're in the area definitely stop and pick up a dozen donut....oh and best part....they have a drive through window!!!

    It is difficult to tell in the photo but all of the pastries in the case are HUGE. The cinnamon rolls are the size of a child's head. And the donut "holes@ are 1/3 of a donut. Pick your pastry and share with a friend

    I am an adoring fan of Sweetwater donuts. I have trashed the donuts of other bakeries in Michigan because they do not compare to the heavenly delights of Sweetwater's. If Sweetwater's ever went public, I'd be first in line to buy its IPO. But, if there is something that I never cared for - and I'm speaking about the two Kalamazoo locations and the Battle Creek location - it was how old and dated the three buildings were. Walking in to any of the three to enjoy a donut and a cup of coffee felt like time travel to when I was an undergraduate. Of course, as my girl has said, when you are open all of the time, everyday, churning out yummy donuts, you don't have a lot of time for remodeling or updating. That issue is not a factor in the Plainwell location. It is spacious, it is modern, it is gloriously new. And the donuts are just as delicious.

    Their selection and variety is INSANE!!! Huge fresh donuts!!!

    Their selection and variety are INSANE!!! Huge fresh donuts! Literally took us 10 minutes just to choose!!! Lol Honestly not sure how they sell them as cheap as they do Very good value for the size and quality of donuts. The staff is very nice and personable. Lots of seating! They also have coffee, milk and pop! (soda for non Michigan travelers lol) This bakery is very clean inside and out! We didn't use the drive-thru but they seemed to get people through the line quickly. I'd give a higher star review if I could!

    Best spot in the Otsego/Plainwell area to get the most delicious donuts! The Plainwell SW's Donut Mill represents the franchise concept in both design, look and feel! It is a great location to checkout if you are interested in a franchise! The Good: 1. Well...hello...the donuts are phenomenal! 2. All the donuts are made fresh daily so they are always soft and chewy. 3. The service has always come with a smile and patience (my husband sometimes needs extra time since they offer so many options). 4. They have a drive-thru and parking lot that are both easily accessible. 5. The location is super convenient since it's located at an intersection with a stoplight and just East of US-131 on M-89! 6. The fritters are HUGE! No, I mean as big as your head huge if you have an enormous head! Or huge like....they're shareable among friends. 7. The cinnamon rolls are just as huge as the fritters and my absolute favorite! Plus, choose from icing, caramel and chocolate toppings. The Needs Improving: Umm.....I'm drawing a blank...I got nothing! Overall: A solid 5 stars! If you're in the area make sure to stop in and try SW's Donut Mill! You won't be disappointed!

    Saying I'm obsessed with this place is an understatement! Unfortunately I live in Texas and can only get here during the holidays but I always look forward to stopping here each time I visit. They have such a huge variety and they're so unique and all are delicious. The cinnamon pecan crunch was a show stopper for me. Definitely check them out if you haven't!

    Sweetwater's is a Southwest, MI institution.... almost a religion for people from K-Zoo. So it's a big deal to have one in little Plainwell. They make a solid product and are happy to do it. The service is fast and friendly and this location is set up really well. The donuts are top notch, and they don't fully buy in to the "Donut Fad" that is going on right now. They still make some silly donuts here and there, but they also stay true to the classics and they make a great cake donut I am a bit of a donut snob, so they aren't my absolute favorite donut place in West Michigan, but they are in my top 5 for sure. They need to work on their glazer at this location, it's a bit too crusty and flakes off too easily...but the flavor is there They know how to to it right, and because this location is in a small town...the Hipsters aren't there to ruin this location for you either, which is nice

    This place is like donut heaven because there are so many different kinds and the majority of them are very tasty. I recommend the blueberry cheesecake, Boston cream, powdered sugar custard filled and powdered sugar chocolate filled.

    So I'd seen a few reviews for this place, and I'd thought about visiting each time we drove past,…read morebut it was finally time to stop by for a cup of coffee. Time to see if it was worth the stop. Y'all. It's totally worth the stop. This shop is super cute, the employees are AMAZING and the coffee and treats are top notch. My wife and I enjoyed two of their signature drinks, and our kids demolished the macarons. The menu is pretty big for a cafe, and they have their own bakers in house. When I expressed interest in ordering a cake, one of the bakers came up from the back to talk time through the cake, listing option after option. Very impressive. Let's just say I took a frequent buyer card to add some more punches down the road.

    This was the second time only that I have been here but the cakes/cupcakes are delicious! The…read moremacarons on the cupcakes tasted so good, each cupcake was beautiful in their decor and different sprinkles or embellishments for different flavors. They were really good to work with as my only requirement was to have 2 birthday cake flavor macarons. The coffee was good too ;) but I got no photo. In the beginning of Covid they had a pickup/ordering window. I was slightly disappointed to see that had been removed and you must go in now, but they are requiring masks and have a table between the cashier and myself. My only thing was that because the cupcakes were refrigerated, I think that affected the crispness of the outer layer of the macarons. Last time i had one from here it was much flakier and light on the outside. Still tasted great tho!!

    We have been meaning to dine here for quite some time and we finally made it. If I had to…read morecharacterize this restaurant, I'd call it a diamond in the rough. You just don't expect to find fine dining in such a rural setting. We arrived a half hour before our reservation (must have) being that we were coming from so far away. We were told our table wouldn't be available until close to our reservation time. No problem. Four Roses has a very nice bar. My wife had a glass of wine and after perusing their pretty impressive bourbon list, I ordered my drink. First observation-bourbon and wine very reasonably priced. I also like the fact they had large cubes so I could enjoy my drink before it got watered down. Cubes were perfectly clear as well. We were shown to our table about ten minutes early and started to review the menu. Four Rose's menu has many staples but changes often adding specials. Our server came by quickly and answered our questions. We had many as there were so many great dishes to consider. Rolls right out of the oven were also brought to our table. My wife ordered White Fish Grenoble and I had the Maple Mustard Baby Back Ribs. I didn't care for the vegetables offered so I substituted rice. My wife was not overly impressed with her choice calling it very bland with almost no flavor. She loved the vegetables however. Portions were large-just not to her liking. My ribs were excellent. The maple mustard sauce was so good I asked my server for more. We both thought the rice was brittle - perhaps overcooked. Four Rose's is also known for their deserts and we were tempted. I had amaretto coconut creme pie. Excellent. My wife loves toffee pudding so she was excited to try it when she saw it on the menu. Unfortunately it was more of a toffee bread pudding then actual pudding. The server quickly took it off the bill when she returned and saw it was barley touched. Our server needs to be cloned as she was so good and responsive. Even with these short comings, our experience was excellent and we will be back.

    My wife and I went to Four Roses Cafe again last night. Again it was fantastic!! They never…read moredisappoint. Our server Molly was friendly and attentive despite is being busy out on the patio. Which is a covered area (so the evening sun won't beat down on you) that's a nice change from inside. The food was out of this world. We had two new menu items. My wife had the corvina (a mild white fish like sea bass) with pistachio and apricot crust, with grilled veggies and rice. The fish was cooked to perfection! So yummy!! I had the seared scallops with bacon and a corn "sauce" that was out of this world! The scallops again were cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy. Not fishy at all! We both had drinks that were both very good. I would highly recommend Four Roses Cafe. It's a bit of a drive from Mattawan / Kalamazoo but so worth it! I would also recommend making a reservation ahead of time. They fill up fast.
