Customer Reviews

Our first time here was great! Of course, the donuts were delicious (we got 4!). Loved the options to choose from, our favorite was the chocolate coconut. The staff was kind and helpful, plus the whole vibe they built in the shop is great. We?ll be back!

So glad we found this little gem. Donut size is perfect, tiny delicious delightful sweet treats. We ordered custom donuts for a celebration and they came out perfect. The coffee is great as well. Everything was delivered fresh and right on time. Beth is amazing to work with, friendly and professional. Highly recommend.

This donut shop is so cute and I love the donuts here. It is actually better than other donut shops and it is sweet but not overly sweet. I recommend to all who are close in this area but also out of townies too. I got a couple different flavors but make sure to check out their social media for the most updated flavors for the day/week. They have stairs to go up so be mindful of that. The store has all gender friendly bathrooms. Lastly, the donut shop has a picnic area in the back; kid friendly area.

We tried the cookie butter and vanilla lavender and they were both really good! Will definitely come back to try the other flavors...and will probably get lavender each time too since it's my favorite so far.

Very tasty treat and would eat again! The donuts were made fresh and more being made while we were there. The donuts are a cake consistency and the specific flavor mostly comes the icing. I think the batter is all one flavor (could be wrong) so if icing isn?t your thing you may not enjoy these donuts, but I thought they were delicious. Perfect for eating with coffee to mix between sweet and bitter.

West Chester is lucky to have this donut shop right in the borough. They are delicious!! And their coffee is great too. I love that the donuts are small so I can have a couple since I love trying several flavors and with regular sized donuts it?s too much for me. The staff is welcoming and sweet, and the place is gorgeous. Amazing renovation!

I?m a sweet tooth and I found these donuts to be overly sweet. In particular, I found the icing to be a bit thick and overwhelming; couldn?t taste the donut itself very much. They were still tasty, I just much prefer a more traditional donut that?s lighter on the icing and of medium sweetness. They were also quite pricy at over $2 per donut when you get 16. Lovely staff, though, and a cute atmosphere!

We used Rose?s Little Donuts for a family gathering in March and they were wonderful. They provided a discount for ordering so many donuts, the customer service was great, donuts were ready on time, and the donuts were delicious and were all eaten by the end of the event! Crowd favorites were the cookies and cr?me, the strawberry sprinkle, and the salted caramel, but they were all amazing! We highly recommend Rose?s!

We had Rose's Little Donuts catered for our wedding and I can't say enough good things- they were so great to work with, they matched our wedding colors, and people RAVED about how delicious they were. Thank you so much!

Cute new addition to downtown WC! We got one lemon white chocolate doughnut ($2.50/individual doughnut). Smaller than duck donuts size. Perfect amount of sweetness!

Went in looking for an Americano, and left with some perfection in a cup, and a box of donuts. What a cool little place, with fast service. Met the owners while the order was being made, and they were friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be doing what they do. A little slice of heaven right there on Darlington St. in downtown West Chester. Kudos.

We always support local business so we were happy to visit. I felt that the icing was a little too thick and sweet (and I like sweet stuff) and overall the donut didn?t have much flavor. Maybe I just don?t like that type of donut (like duck donuts). Others in our group really enjoyed them and highly recommend. So try it. Pretty pricy also, so I am not sure if I?d hurry back.

I visited Rose?s Little Donuts yesterday, and I was absolutely delighted! The shop itself is adorable, and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I specifically came for their vegan options, and they were super helpful in explaining the ingredients and making accommodations. I tried the apple pie and vanilla sprinkle donuts, and both were fresh and absolutely delicious?better than I even expected! Highly recommend this place for anyone, vegan or not!

Love these little donuts! They taste as good as they look. We ordered online and donuts were ready on time. Staff was very friendly, and the shop itself was inviting.

Tried 2 flavors, lemon meringue and pumpkin pie, the pumpkin was a little dry but good flavor & the lemon was great. This is pretty priceyyy so not sure the value is fully there, quick and nice service, no seating.

Absolutely addictive doughnuts! Very reminiscent of Federal Doughnuts, but here in West Chester. We tried 3 kinds and they were all excellent, but the chocolate caramel sea salt is salty/sweet perfection. Store is very nice inside too and surgically clean. They're not cheap but they're also far better quality than any doughnuts that cost less. Photo after having to stop ourselves from eating all 4 at once, lol.

AMAZING LIL' VEGAN DONUTS! Back in the Fall, I was told they didn't feel their Vegan recipe was "just right." well it is now! If you're looking for a Vegan donut, I HIGHLY recommend Rose's Little Donuts!

Thank you! Everyone is very welcoming, delicious donuts, very nice atmosphere!! I also recommend the mint iced tea.

Excellent experience with Rose's, they make excellent donuts that are slightly smaller which is perfect for our young ones! The staff is extremely friendly and the donuts are tasty!

The flavors of these donuts were creative and unique. I recommend getting a few different ones to try! They?re a little pricey but I enjoyed experiencing all of them

The good: The atmosphere is adorable, the staff was very friendly and the space is very clean. The bad: Hate to say it but the donuts aren't great and overpriced for their size. The actual cake part didn't have any flavor and the frosting was too sweet and a bit much for the size of the donut.

Our first time here and it was so cute inside! Whenever we see a donut shop we have to try it and this is my new favorite! They had a wide variety even though they were closing in an hour and they still tasted very fresh. I got 4 and they were packed in a beautiful little box. I had the cashier pick the kind for me and they were all delicious, especially Irish Potato! 100% going back!

This place is such a hidden gem in West Chester, I?m so happy to finally have an amazing donut shop in town. We ordered 4 donuts (which came with a little discount) and tried their Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel, Strawberry Sprinkle, Vegan Lemon Raspberry, and Vegan Cookies and Cream which were all incredible. The Sea Salt Chocolate Caramel was my personal favorite, just the right amount of salt to balance out the rich chocolate frosting. 11/10 would HIGHLY recommend!!

It's very hard to find vegan donuts ?? in the area and this place offers it with style. Keep the plant based options coming!

These are genuinely some of the best donuts I?ve ever tasted! ?? As a vegan, it?s so difficult finding shops that offer plant-based options and these little donuts did NOT disappoint. I tried the vegan lemon raspberry and vegan cookies & cream, both of which were incredible! I personally think that they?re the perfect size and totally worth the price given the quality and unique flavors! 10/10 we can?t wait to go back! ????

This is such an awesome little shop in the center of town that has delicious options to choose from. They are a hit with my kids and have been a great gift idea on a few occasions.

Rose's little donuts is a cute little new donut shop in downtown West Chester. The donuts are small but made expertly with great flavors. It's fun to try multiple flavors in one box. The coffee was also good.

Rose?s Little Donuts is a beautiful little gem. Got box of 16 assorted donuts and they are incredible! This is how donuts are supposed to be made??????????

Donuts are good but are very pricey. The donuts are certainly good and yummy but based on the price and size of the donuts there isn?t much value. For the price of two mini-donuts you can get three full size ones from other bakeries in the area. That said there are several Gluten Free options here that many stores don?t offer and the donuts themselves are fresh and moist. Staff was very helpful

If you like cake doughnuts this is the place to go. The icing flavors they top the donuts with are out of this world, not too sweet but lots of flavor. The most genius part of this place though is the pizza box containers they pack the doughnuts in. If you have experience with the rectangular paper boxes from the chain stores, you know that those boxes basically fold in half when you put them on your car seat. The pizza box style containers they have here are super sturdy, and make it easy to stack and car

So glad we stopped in today to try these donuts. Yum! We will be back for sure???? Super friendly staff despite how busy they were!

I was the first in line for their opening day! I only ate the lemon meringue donut and that was very cake like. It was more than likely just the flavor. My husband said none of his were cakey. Not what i was expecting at all. I expected more of a warm fried donut type shop... but it was delicious none and less! The people working there was also very nice!

Rose's doughnuts taste great but do we really need all that sugar in doughnuts these days? Maybe I'm asking too much, but would Rose lose customers if her doughnuts were made with half the sugar she puts in them now? Surely, it would save ingredients and her customers would not feel so guilty eating so much sugar in a single doughnut, especially those who are health conscious. It's high time that doughnuts change for the better with less sugar (not sugarless) and with a list of healthy ingredients to in

very fun atmosphere, friendly servers...a lot of love and creativity went into this business...it shows?? also, i ordered for delivery, and happened to be sold-out of a flavor donut...they attached a coupon for a free item for the inconvenience, and substituted similar along with an extra free of charge!! Wanted to say THANK YOU, was not expecting, but very grateful for that:) The specialty teas are FABULOUS, loved the packaging??

These doughnut were one of worst I have ever had. To start I questioned if they were even doughnuts because they looked like dog treats. I got one sea salt Carmel, biscoff, peanut butter lover, and chocolate covered strawberry. I will say the peanut butter lover was ok but the rest were a disappointment. The sea salt ?Caramel? had the slightest bit of caramel syrup on it, a better name for it should have been sea salt doughnut cause that?s all that I could taste. The biscoff one tasted nothing like biscoff

Amazing donuts! Unique flavors, freshly made each day. A little bit pricey but the quality makes them worth it. I've brought them in to work and everyone absolutely loved them.

Great addition to West Chester. The donuts are yummy and the coffee was great. It's really nice to have another spot for espresso drinks. The cortado I had was solid.

Their key lime pie donut was the best of the bunch!

Somebody brought Rose?s to my place of work today and I had a very, very yummy chocolate caramel donut. Looking forward to trying all the other flavors! Yum!

The cutest little shop I ever stumbled upon tbh I was so impressed with the service and design of the place I didn?t even want to eat I just wanted to support a small business and I?m more then glad i choose this one the staff is amazing friendly and welcoming and the adorable donuts are little guilty pleasures would definitely make a special trip to this place again !
