Rose Donuts has always been a go to when I'm in the area and glazed twist and donut never disappoints. It's a quick grab and go shop. Service was quick! They have dining area to sit as well. It's oddly quiet inside.

If you're looking for a Mom & pop donut shop serving up great classics with no fancy frills, Rose Donuts is for you. The ladies working this donut shop are extremely friendly and patient. There was a homeless man in front of me when I went and he took about five minutes trying to decide on a single donut and the ladies attitude towards him was genuine and you can automatically tell that they are wonderful people. I came in Tuesday morning around 8am and was immediately greeted by the fresh scent of warm ham & cheese croissants that had just been placed on display. It tempted me to get one, but I was there for dozens of donuts. I went with all the classic yeast donuts and a few cake ones. The twists, bars, and filled donuts are an additional cost, but only by .20 cents. My coworkers all enjoyed the donuts and I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for something simple.

Finally made a trip to Rose's after moving to the area a few months ago and I understand why there are lines out the door on weekends. The turkey croissant sandwich was perfectly made and everything tasted fresh. Vietnamese coffee was strong and sweet (as it should be) and this morning I woke up craving their classic cake donut. The staff was very friendly and warm while quickly moving customers.

This place really is good. I had to update my review. The glazed donuts are still the best. Fresh and delicious. The iced latte is good and strong and not overly sweet so perfect. The breakfast sandwiches are excellent also. The bagels are good and delicious and the croissants are buttery and flaky.The lines are out the door but don't let that intimidate you. They are fast and super friendly. Excellent staff.

The donuts are delicious, the service is fab and the chicken salad sandwich is my favorite in the land at this sweet and clean little corner shop! Get it on a light and flaky croissant. Bonus: there's a parking lot too!

Very friendly staff! I have been here a handful of times now and every time the donuts are fresh and taste very natural. Many other donut shops have an artificial aftertaste or their custard filling tastes gross. Not the case here at Rose donuts. They have a huge variety of traditional donut offerings. They are alway very clean. And they make great coffee drinks as well. Excellent on all levels. Known by many locals as the best in SD and it's apparent why.

Definitely a solid choice for a donut. I didn't think they were anything out of this world, but they definitely weren't bad; maybe just a bit overhyped. The cake-y donuts were way better than the yeast-y ones. One small complaint - we ordered a white cream filled donut (as seen in the pic) but it was actually custard filled. Bit of a bummer but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it was still good. The ambience here is also not it... definitely plan to just take these to go.

This is my favorite donuts shop when visiting SD. It's conveniently located near my work and hotel when staying in the Mission Valley area. if you're into classic old school donuts done right and not those fancy instagram kind, then this is the spot. The classics start around $2 but are sizable. Looking for a savory treat? Their croissant ham and cheese is so satisfying and enormous. The place is family owned and they are happy to serve the community. On most days they are open to 10pm and make fresh batches in the afternoon to satisfy those late cravings.
