I have been wanting to come here for years and it lived up to the hype. I came around noon on a Saturday and while there was a line out the door, I didn't wait more than 10 minutes from start to order. They have all the desserts out on display and they have you order there and order coffee at the register to be more efficient. Some indoor seating but no real outdoor seating, and one restroom. I went with the simple passion fruit donut and the ube latte. The donut was a perfect mix of sweet and sour, not overpoweringly so and the donut was so soft I practically inhaled it. The coffee was quite nice too, not too sweet or acidic tasting and was a perfect combination of flavors. I would love to come back and try some more pastries, as the crab rangoon pastry caught my eye. Friendly service- dont let the line deter you too much!
This time I ordered the scallion bun and the hojicha cinnamon roll. I'd like if the pastries were fresher, but I do understand that they are very busy and there's a lot of demand. I do appreciate that there is an Asian American bakery in DC, with unique combinations and pastries
DELICIOUS refresher on a hot day! The whole menu looked incredible-- you know it's a good place when you need to decide between 3-4 different drinks! Friendly service, quick, and soooo good! We'll definitely be back
Extremely friendly service! Adorable Asian fusion bakery. The egg and cheese was flavorful and lighter than it looks. I would definitely go for the banana latte and the banana cinnamon cookies! This isn't your typical bakery everything was a experience enjoyable. The line goes quickly and your served immediately.
Mango matcha 3.8/5 Saigon Banana Latte 3.8/5 Mandarin Creamsicle Donut 5/5 Passion Fruit 5/5 Saigon cookie 4/5 Salted chocolate chip 5/5 Overall everything was good! Especially the desserts, the matcha was alright. I think the banana latte was better than the matcha. I think the matcha was lacking the mango flavor. The line was long, but the service went quickly! It's a small cafe with some seats inside and some outside. Not a ton of space.
I have had mixed experiences with Rose Ave Bakery. My first visit was great. I had a great iced tea and the Thai curry bread was awesome. Although it was crowded, I still managed to find seating with my parents and had a pleasurable cafe experience. My most recent experience was less than ideal. Although all the pastries were there, the early gray matcha missed the mark and I ended up not feeling well after my visit. Not sure if this was due to something else, but I am still a big fan of the bakery and will have to come back (hopefully 100% healthy throughout my time)
My friend loves to bring me goodies to try out from the city when they visit and this was such a welcomed treat ! I can't speak to the service or location much because I didn't go. It must be said that I received the items cold and tasted them cold and reheated. Matcha Chocolate Twice Baked croissant - 6/10 - this rating is about my personal taste, not the quality of the croissant. I'm sure this is a matcha lovers dream and I was impressed by how much filling was in the croissant, especially considering the filling didn't affect the texture of the bread. This was good cold but even better reheated. Bread still had a crunch and the filling consistency was great, but again just not my thing. Strawberry milk - 10/10 - can I curse real quick ? £#%K this was delicious. I could put this filling on just about anything and be satisfied. It was rich but not overly sweet and paired really well with the pastry. I do not know how they manage to have the pastry keep its shape with the amount of filling they're putting inside but I appreciate it. The pastry has a great bite to it and the pearls and frosting adding a slight contrast to the texture was needed because too much of one texture creeps me out. I took a look at their menu and absolutely want to try their cookies the mango sweet tart, and the Ube Cheese Kouign Amann so I will be back !
Unfortunately for my bank account, Rose Ave was a weekly treat for me during my month in DC. I tried so many of their pastries (pandan coconut, pomegranate & passionfruit donuts, salt bread, ube cheese kouign-amann, garlic scallion bun, curry butternut squash tart, black sesame cookie) and drinks (Saigon banana latte, mango matcha, miso caramel cold foam matcha) here, and they all hit because the execution of the fusion is perfection (strong flavors, well-done foundation, creative combinations). Surprisingly, my favorites were their savory pastries. Service is fast and friendly. Ambiance is nice: there's outdoor and indoor seating, but it's usually packed. It's right off the Woodley Park/AdMo metro stop so very accessible. 10/10 would recommend!
Visited Rose Ave Bakery in DC on a busy weekend after a friend recommended it, and we ended up waiting in line--which was worth it. The space is a pretty cute, modern café with cherry blossom décor and a great mix of sweet and savory pastries. We honestly tried almost everything Garlic Scallion Bun - Soft, lightly toasted with just the right crunch. Inspired by a Taiwanese garlic bun, it was super easy to eat and one of my favorites (9/10). Matcha Chocolate Twice-Baked Croissant - A rectangular croissant absolutely loaded with matcha and chocolate, topped with matcha powder. It was almost a bit too heavy on the matcha for me, and the bitterness overpowered the chocolate. Banana Chocolate Twice-Baked Croissant - Banana cream on top with banana chocolate inside. Pretty straightforward--tasted exactly like what you'd expect from a banana chocolate croissant. Ube Cheese Kouign Amann - Unique sweet-and-savory combo. The ube adds a subtle sweetness while the cheese gives it a creamy balance. Rich and slightly dense, and I just wished there was a bit more filling to balance the pastry. Miso Garlic Salted Bread - One of my top picks. Savory, buttery, and paired with a slightly sweet brioche-like base that balances everything really well. Elote Bread - Corn-topped savory bread with a nice sweetness and texture. This and the miso garlic bread were tied for my favorites. Strawberry Passionfruit Kouign Amann - Fruity and rich, but a bit filling overall. I just wished there was more filling to balance the pastry. Sugared Donut - Simple and classic, just a soft, sugary donut done right. Drinks: * Strawberry Matcha & Mango Matcha - Both layer fruit puree with matcha, but the flavors stay quite separate rather than blending together. * Vietnamese Coffee with Cold Foam - Strong coffee base with strawberry-flavored cold foam. It's pretty sweet overall with less of a coffee-forward taste, but still smooth and enjoyable. * White Mocha Latte - More coffee-forward compared to the sweeter drinks, which I actually preferred. Overall, I loved my visit--great spot for both savory and sweet pastries with creative flavor combinations and a lot to try. I definitely preferred the savory items over sweet here particularly the garlic scallion bun!
Rose Ave Bakery has been on my radar since early this year! I finally made it to DC this weekend and this was naturally our first stop. They are open until 1 PM on Saturdays, we reached at around 11:30 AM and I was half hoping for them to be out of most items. Fortunately, even though they were super packed, we were able to find all of the items we were looking for - thanks to the hard working staff as they continue to make their pastries until closing - unlike so many other bakeries these days that make a certain amount and call it a day! Now to the food, everything we had was absolutely phenomenal! I am not a donut person but I loved theirs as they were very flavorful and weren't too sweet. I definitely prefer their Ube and Pandan over the Black sesame donut. The Matcha chocolate croissant and the Ube Kouign Amann were my favorites of the bunch! I cannot recommend them enough, this will surely be my first stop every time I am in DC!
Rose Ave Bakery is the best bakery I've ever been to! They have a huge selection of Asian inspired pastries, with really unique and complex offerings. I tried 5 of their pastries - the butternut squash curry one, miso honey garlic salt bread (my favorite!), elote, mochi donut holes, and ube kouign amann. They were all great, with the butternut squash and miso garlic honey ones being the standouts. There was a line out the door the whole time we were there, but it moved fairly quickly. There is limited seating with limited space due to the large line. I would absolutely return. This place is seriously so awesome!
New seasonal pastries = new Rose Ave visit! I had to try the crab rangoon croissant and the guava donut. The crab rangoon was fabulous - great texture, filling, flavorful, everything I wanted! The guava was good but a little bland - I would have liked a stronger guava flavor, and it was very small for the price. However, it was still a great visit overall and I adopted the crab rangoon!
The pastries are so good you kind of feel bad eating them bc you know every bite is closer to being finished! I tasted 4 treats - and all rocked my flavor buds! The black sesame cookie - the black sesame donut - the black sesame super crazy stuffed croissant (notice a theme?) and the passion fruit donut. Stunning. Delicious. Friendly. Gorgeous aesthetic. Cool vibe. I will be back again and again.

Yall.... I ate the Ube cake slice last night!! Jesus take the wheel!!! Just know this.. for husband #2, there will be a wedding reception. And this cake will be my wedding cake! We'll have to work this out somehow, some way. But this is definitely going to be my wedding cake! I don't even really care for icing. But I was literally licking the spoon and trying to get extra icing out of the container. This is a MasterChef of cakes! My goodness it was so light, fluffy, moist and tasty! It was so freaking tasty! And still so light! My goodness it was delicious! Now anybody reading this... please go and find me my future African husband! LOL so we can have this cake for our reception! The devil is a lie!!!! This place is too good! Before I get started, do know I have yet to finish all of my pastries! 1. Minority owned! 2. Women owned! That right there alone should get you excited! They had a line out the door on a Saturday morning in the Fall! At 10:00 a.m.! Do know they open at 9:00 a.m.! So if you're smart, go at 9:00 when they open! Again there was a line out the door at 10:00 a.m. by the time I got through the line, the line what's going out onto the sidewalk. Also get there early because they ran out of something by the time I got ready to place my order. Yes, they open at 9:00. And ran out of something by 10:00! Get there early! I had a Saigon banana chai tea. The first sip, I had to look back at it! Dang that was good! Got back to the hotel, ate the crab rangoon tart.... MY GOD!!! Who are these women and PLEASE COME TO TENNESSEE... PLEASE!!! Y'all, that tart alone was just the bomb! And that's not even with Devil's lettuce! My goodness what that would taste like with some devils lettuce in my system. My dear sweet god! That tart was so freaking good! Do know the customer service is the bomb! I met one of the owners or bakers. She was super sweet and was breaking down some of the items on the menu. And yes I was ear hustling her conversation with other patrons. Another owner or baker was so freaking attentive! I just watched her watching everything. She was watching the door. She was watching the line and how fast with detail toget orders placed and the line moving. She watched what ran out and what needed to be replaced. She was just on everything! Kind of like a first sergeant! After that crab rangoon tart, I don't know how anybody could give this place less than five stars. Whomever gives this place less than five stars, really didn't grow up being hugged as a child or didn't take their mental meds that AT ALL that week. I'm going to stop writing this and finish my pastries. Oh one more thing... WHY WERE THEY REASONABLE PRICE???? Please make this make sense? I am going to call out Baker's dozen, Brightside Bakery, and sweet milk Ranch of NashvilleTN! Y'all need to check out their prices and adjust yours accordingly. The taste of these pastries are beyond savory. And they're at least $2/$3 cheaper then the top pastry restaurants in nashville! Please make it make sense! God forbid Baker's Dozen our brightside have a crab rangoon tart! They will probably charge $10! But the prices.. you can't be! I guarantee you what I got there would have definitely been $75 in nashville! Only paid $35! But anywho, they will be seeing me either later on today or definitely in the morning! read more
Favorite bakery we've been to in DC. I don't remember everything we got but the ube coffee was delicious but too sweet. The pandan and ube filled donuts were delicious and pillowy. I also got a hotdog croissant (?) with cheese and that was one of our other favorites. read more

Really good pastry. We got here 20 mins before they close, and got 2 types of amman, the sesame cookies, the mochi puffs, and the curry amman. Everything was good, our favorite was the passion fruit Amman. It's perfectly tart! The curry one was also very good. I found the mochi puffs slightly too sweet, but overall it was a very good experience. Glad that we came! read more

Edit: we got an egg cheese bacon sandwich and a musubi croissant to go and these were way better than the sweets. Skip the sweets go for the savory items read more
I've been seeing Rose Ave Bakery shared on social media for months, and finally got to taste a bit of everything this weekend! We got our goods to go, but the staff was very friendly. We started with the Scallion bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a flakey pastry. We were most excited about this, but unfortunately it fell a bit short - the egg itself was nothing to write home about, but the sandwich tasted fine. I would have loved some sort of sauce being incorporated with the sandwich! The cute donuts were delicious! We tried the passion fruit, black sesame, Ube coconut and matcha. The black sesame and the ube coconut were by far my favorite donuts we tried! We also ordered the AUTUMN APPLE KOUIGN AMANN and the TURON KOUIGN AMANN along with all 3 of the cookies. Our favorite item from Rose Ave bakery is the SAIGON CINNAMON BANANA cookie - it is out of this world. Highly recommend it to all snickerdoodle lovers! read more

Loved loved loved this place! The pastries were so good and the drinks paired so nicely! There wasn't a single pastry I did not like! My favorite was the the Thai curry croissant, the ube donut, the sesame cookie and the passion fruit strawberry. The coffee and the matcha were bother really good! Would definitely go back read more
Lovely bakery with really really good food. We tried 3 things, curry tart, crab ragoon, and scallion egg sandwich. We were interested in the scallion sandwich because it was so popular, but we were a bit disappointed since there's not much scallion flavor in it, also since the egg was baked, it was a bit bland. But we loved crab ragoon and curry tart, very creative and Asian themed, but the pastry part was so crunch and flaky! read more
Love this place! Despite the bustling crowds and occasional wait, this bakery has secured its spot as one of my favorite in DC. Everything sweet is just right for my taste buds (aka, not too sweet) The Asian fusion concept is amazing, and one standout creation is the Mango Sticky Rice Amann. With its multiple flaky layers, harmoniously blending sweet and tangy notes from the mango, it's a great amalgamation of my two favorite foods: croissant (or more accurately, croiffin) and Thai mango sticky rice. The Sesame Donut boasts a delectable sesame filling that tantalizes the palate. We also tried the Ube Iced Coffee and Green Thai Tea, and both left us utterly satisfied. This flavorful bakery offers a taste experience that's well worth the effort of waiting and fighting for a table read more

This has been a pretty popular cafe of late so I thought it was time to check it out. I think this cafe has a very inviting presences and it was filled with people conversing even on a rainy day. Because it was rainy the wait time wasn't too long maybe about 10-15 minutes. I wasn't the biggest fan of the coconut part of the donut even though I don't mind count. And I really liked the cookie. I have had two negative experiences with a black seseamee drink and a cookie but Rose Avenue turned me into a fan I would get it again. I would go back again but not if the wait time is excessively long. read more

Cute store with great vibes! Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating of my disability. Both the passion fruit and strawberry lychee donuts were okay; I personally found that each of the components tasted amazing on their own, but didn't mesh well together (the best texture donuts I've ever had though). Would love to go again and try other items! read more

It's been a couple since I've tried anything from Rose Ave and this was also my first time to the new store in Woodley Park! Everything was super tasty and I'm so glad I went. I went on Saturday at 11am and there was a line out the door. Don't surprised when you make it through the door and there's a line down the length of the shop--it's really not that bad, and I hate lines. They're really efficient! The Ube donut was tender and delish! The cream was smooth and not too sweet. Yum! The kouign amman was also lovely. We got the passion fruit strawberry. It had a nice dense/crunchy bite on the exterior and was nice and soft inside. I'm a big b.patisserie fan and these are a good local alternative. My favs were actually the savory pastries. The spam musubi croissant was flakey and buttery. It had a nice hunk of spam, but the bites with the furikake and ell sauce were the BEST. More furikake pls!! The surprise best bite went to the Thai curry tart thoughhh. This was a game time decision and I have no regrets getting it. It was full of sweet coconut and potato goodness! Yum yum yum yum. The only fail for me was the orange cardamom coffee. It's not that it was bad, it just didn't match my pallette. If you enjoy those chocolate covered orange jellies that are around during the holidays, you'll def like this. Cya soooon Rose Ave! read more
This was my first time visiting Rose Ave Bakery since they moved to their new location. Everything was just as delicious as I remembered! I ordered a white mocha latte, a spam masubi croissant, a black sesame donut, a passion fruit donut, and a banana cinnamon cookie. They warmed the masubi for me, however it was a large portion so I decided to wait until I got home to eat it. It doesn't have very much filling, but was still very tasty, I would order it again. I have ordered their donuts many times before and they are consistently delicious. The standout for me this trip was actually the cookie. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but it tasted amazing and the chewy texture was great. Loved it! read more
Best donuts in DC in my opinion. Ran into this place sort of on accident. Was looking for my doctors office. In the middle of the week it's not too busy. I got the passion fruit donut and Thai curry tart. Both were exceptional! The donuts aren't too sweet and very fluffy. The Thai curry tart was really really tasty. Exceeded my expectations and had a little bit of heat to it (not much) but enough to add some flavor. Will be back to try the other pastries. Worth the hype! read more

TL;DR: Beautiful bakery and delicious pastries! Came by for the SOFT OPENING and they had a limited menu for drinks and food. The inside is so pretty and nicely decorated, and there was lots of seating to hang out. The workers are all SO friendly and willing to answer any questions or concerns you have. They have lots of options and great flavor combinations, some with Asian influence. FOOD/DRINK: ~Garlic Scallion Bun (4/5): Texture and flavor were amazing! Highly recommend getting their breakfast sandwiches that use this bun ~Ube Donut (3/5): Again, texture is so good. Just wish it had more filling and the donut had more ube flavor ~Ube Cheese Amman (5/5): SO GOOD! The filling was nice and creamy and not too sweet ~Saigon Cinnamon Banana Cookie (4/5): Tasted like banana bread ~Matcha Chocolate Cookie (2/5): not my favorite, but just okay ~Black Sesame Swirl Cookie (5/5): MY FAVORITE. So good and nutty ~Pandan Cassava Bread Pudding (2.5/5): Personal preference. Wish there was a little more pandan flavor, but the texture was fantastic ~Passion Fruit Iced Tea (5/5): So flavorful and didn't taste artificial like other passion fruit items I have tried at other places ~Ube Iced Coffee (3/5): great combination of flavors with a nice kick from the coffee Can't wait to go back to try more of their items! read more

Don't let the line discourage you from waiting, it is SO well worth it! This is easily the best bakery I've been to in DC and the hype for it is so real. While the line is long, it moves pretty quickly and the staff are incredibly efficient. I got two lattes, the Saigon Banana and Chocolate Orange - both were amazing, but I personally preferred the Saigon Banana. And for food, I got two brioche donuts (coconut panda and ube coconut), the curry tart, mochi bites, and breakfast sandwich. Everything was honestly a knockout - I loved every single bite of every single item. And for how delicious and popular this spot is, the pricing is very reasonable. Not to mention, the actual cafe is gorgeous and I loved the way they showcased all of the bakery items, everything was beautiful. If you are thinking about going here, just do it, this place is a gem. read more
Go here! The pastries are all so delicious! My personal favorite was the scallion bun. I will 100% be back to try this! It's a cute little bakery with seats but it seems to get kind of busy so keep that in mind when visiting! read more

The egg sandwich was divine. The banana cookie was delicious and soft and chewy. My daughter loved the donut. Yeast donuts aren't my thing but the passion fruit filling was very good. read more
Woodley Park's newest bakery is a hit! These pastries are absolutely scrumptious. While they are certainly on the pricier side, one bite will confirm their worth. The service here is very kind, and I love the mixture or indoor and outdoor seating. You can't go wrong with anything here, but definitely be sure to not leave without trying an Amman. WOW! I think this bakery will be seeing a lot more of me in the months to come... read more
Popular joint! 2,000+ miles away from Hawai'i and they have malasadas - they're own take on the delicious plump Portuguese pastry. A wide variety of delicious sweets and drinks, ya gotta come here on an empty stomach. Service with a smile too! read more
This quite possibly might be the best bakery I have ever been to. The quality of their pastries are top-notch with the perfect amount of crisp and flavor. The selection is unique with an Asian twist, including ingredients such as curry, ube, and pandan. I wish I had a bigger stomach to be able to try more pastries! I certainly see what the hype is here. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more
I'm a major ube enthusiast, so stopping by Rose Ave Bakery was a given during my weekend in DC. I visited less than 10 minutes after opening on a Sunday morning; I was shocked to see the such a large crowd lined up inside of the store. There are a few small tables, but the majority of customers grab and go. The menu offers a solid variety of baked goods, primarily with Asian-inspired flavors. I'm rarely in DC area, so I used the opportunity to pile up the sweets. I ordered a donut box consisting of Ube, Black Sesame, Passion Fruit, Panda , and limited Strawberry Milk flavor made for cherry blossom season. I also got an Ube Cheese Kouign Amann, and Ube Cake Slice. Food spots in DC are typically pricey, but I think a donut for just under $5 is a bit excessive. Regardless, I was hyped for the selection of items I got to try. The donuts stood out the most to me; the Ube and Passion Fruit were my favorite flavors. I liked the filling of the Ube Cheese Kouign Amann, but I found the rest of the pastry to be lacking any significant Ube flavor. The Ube Cake Slice was my least favorite. I liked idea of the contrasting density of the more airy cake against a thick and dense coconut buttercream. However, the buttercream texture was still far too thick compared to other buttercreams I've tried. Not only was the butter taste more apparent than the coconut, but the frosting fully solidified in the fridge. Even at room temp, it remained a bit chunky. Overall, I'm glad I got to try Rose Ave. I really like variety of offerings on the menu. However, I don't find that all items have the same quality. To me, the donuts are the highlight of the bakery's offerings in both taste and quality. I wouldn't repurchase the cake or Kouign Amann, but there isn't much in the area to compete with the flavor assortment and excellent filling to dough ratio of the donuts. read more
So sad I didn't get to try their coffee since they were out of the one I wanted but so glad I got to take a variety of donuts back to the office for AANHPI heritage month! The staff was quick and efficient. I also couldn't believe I was able to find street parking right outside the store. My colleagues loved the donuts! read more
Love the options available here from the drinks to the baked goods. I need to try that mango sticky rice Kouigan-amann! But I've had their strawberry passionfruit cake slice that was delectable.. soft moist and not overly sweet. Croissant is big and fresh tasting. Tried the strawberry lychee rose donut and you can taste each component, which i really appreciated! Would definitely get all of those again. I also enjoy the mango matcha, and the passionfruit iced tea. The peaches n cream iced tea was ok, thought it would be more creamy but it wasnt bad! Staff is friendly and the cafe is a mix of chic and industrial?? I really liked the place and will continue to try their offerings. read more
Rose Ave has been on my bucket list for sooooo long so I definitely had to stop by when I was in the area. Didn't know when I'd be able to come by again so I splurged and ordered several items. I had the passion fruit, pandan, and ube filled donuts. Out of the filled the donuts I liked the ube the best, the passion fruit was good but definitely more on the tart side and the pandan was good but just didn't stand out. I also did try the lychee and strawberry donut and it was hands down one of the best donuts I've ever tried. I loved the lightness of the flavors and the donut itself was so fluffy like the other filled donuts. I tried the garlic bread croissant as well and it was perfectly flaky but I will say there was a tinge of sweetness. The mango match latte was such an interesting combination which I loved. read more
My favorite bakery in the DMV. I had to come again to try more of their creations as last time I missed out on plenty. Thankfully, when I came, basically everything I wanted was still available. I tried: -Guava Mousse Donut (7/10) -Passion Fruit Donut (10/10) -Pandan Coconut Donut (6/10) -Mango Sticky Rice Amann (8/10) -Thai Curry Pastry (10/10) -Gochugaru Cornbread (5/10) -Ube Iced Latte (10/10) My favorite was the Thai Curry Tart and the Passion Fruit Donut. The guava I wish had a more potent guava flavor as I am guava obsessed; I found it mild and muted. Pandan I've never tried before; it was a refreshing, mild flavor, but I didn't taste coconut. The Mango Sticky Rice Amann literally of course tasted like the mango sticky rice dessert- worth it. Sadly, the gochugaru cornbread was my least favorite- I tried it based off recommendations, but it frankly wasn't my thing. When you're here, I HIGHLY suggest ordering the Ube Iced Latte and the Passion Fruit donut for sure. DEFINITELY get the Thai Curry tart- it is crunchy with flavor and it's delectable. Overall, while some options weren't my favorite in terms of potency, I'm glad I've found my favorite items and will be coming back to order more of those! read more
I've been wanted to go to this spot for a long time now as an asian fusion style bakery is always so fun and hard to come by. Did not expect a line down the street but it moved decently fast ~30 mins. The scallion egg sandwich was delicious and had subtle flavor. They offered a bacon option but if ownership is looking for suggestions I would kill for some spam in a breakfast sandwich like that The donuts were unique and tasted great and the match latte was good as well. read more
Yum! What a delightful bakery to visit! It's located inside a mini food hall type of location. At first sight, you find all the pastries you can order laid out in front of you. So many delicious Asian inspired flavors to choose from, both sweet and savory. During this visit, I went with the Ube Cheese Kouign Amann, Injeolmi Red Bean cookie, and a savory BBQ Roast Pork Bun. My favorite of this bunch was the injeolmi cookie - what a treat!! It was topped with the sweet and nutty soy powder, and filled with delicious red bean; it was incredibly satisfying and I'd definitely venture back just for this cookie. The kouign amann was good and perfectly flakey, but I'm a huge ube fan and wanted more ube! Next time I'd buy the ube butter made by Rose Ave to add extra ube on every bite. Be prepared for a long line! I arrived around 9:15 am, and there was a huge morning rush. It moves relatively fast, but without surprise, everyone in front of me walked away with a whole box packed of the various tasty pastries. If I have time, next time I want to try their drinks - all sounded amazing. read more

Shame on me.. I had this review sitting in my drafts for months! Despite so much time lapsing since our visit, I just couldn't live with myself without singing a song of praise for Rose Ave because every single item is absolutely divine. If I could give this place 100 stars, I totally would! TLDR version: Go there! Make it a priority.. preorder on Sunday or else get there early.. don't get discouraged by the line.. I promise that it is 1000% worth it The deets: We visited during a trip to DC and didn't find out about it until after the pre-ordering opportunity passed. After seeing all of the pics and reviews, I knew that I just had to stop by.. even if that meant waiting in line for who knows how long. Surprisingly enough, the line moved fairly quick. I mean.. we still waited for quite some time, but considering how long the line was, I feel like we ended up much better than expected. I ordered a variety of items, but was the most excited for the lychee strawberry donut, which happened to be the very last one. The stars must have aligned to make it possible because it is absolutely heavenly! Tied for a very close second place was the black sesame donut and ube cheese amon. It's like I died and went to pastry heaven. Out of the 7 items that I ordered, there was not a single one that I didn't like or would consider mediocre. They were ALL delicious! read more

Absolutely delicious donuts. Sometimes donuts that look good don't taste as good as they look. The donuts themselves were flavorful and light. The fillings were unique and extremely pleasant. I believe they have some rotating flavors. I enjoyed all 4 flavors they had this week, pictured with flavors in order! read more

Delicious well made pastries. Great flavors in lattes and baked goods all around. The line gets long here, but it is so worth it. The ube coconut donut was perfectly filled and had a great tender crumb. My absolute favorite thing was the thai curry tart which had crisp, flaky pastry and a yummy curry middle. Will absolutely be back here! read more

This was my second time visiting Rose bakery and per usual they didn't disappoint me. This day I order the rose latte I give that one a 7.5 out 10. The bakery items are always delicious. They're very moist and fresh. This location is their new location and I love that for them. The space is much bigger and has enough space for you to dine inside. The service was great too. They helped me decide which added syrups to add to my drink if I needed them. I can't wait to take my little and big boys here. The first time my wife and I enjoyed the bakery items and it was an hour before they closed. They were delicious as well. read more
