    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!

    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

    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!

    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!!

    BEYOND OUTSTANDING. Having over 50 years of high end dining experiences and working for an…read moreexclusive country club as catering sales and social director, I have high (some say unreasonably high) expectations as a patron of self proclaimed "fine dining" establishments. With that said...I was beyond impressed!! From my first phone call, to make a dinner reservation (on the day of) for a table of 5 for my birthday, through to the most delectable dessert (huge selection of fresh, pastry chef created desserts), the service, entrée, appetizer and martini was out of this world. And the ROLLS. Warm, soft and beyond delicious. When we looked online at the menu and saw the prices; at first it was a real "eye roll". WORTH EVERY CENT! Very generous portions for every course. The feedback I would offer on the haricot vert (green beans).is they were not just al dente but very hard to bite into. Fingerlings not flavorful and mostly tasteless. Minor details when looking at the total meal and experience. We asked that the lighting be dimmer and our amazing server, Taylor was pleasant and accommodating. In fact, every motion and explanation of menu items was kind, pleasant and professional. When she approached the table, she was respectful before speaking and did NOT just breeze by with an intrusive screech of "everything ok guys?". Frankly, we tip more when a server is available and not overbearing. She was a 5 star server! Offering to pack our leftovers for us in the kitchen with a note on the box stating what was inside and a "happy birthday" on mine. A lit candle came out on my HUGE portion of tiramisu. Then the remaining desserts came to thd table that were also very generous in size and better than the usual "homemade". Cheers to the pastry chef and ALL the chefs in the kitchen. And, most of all, to the owners that clearly are committed to quality and integrity. Knowing that our server has been in your employ for 14 years speaks volumes! If you (the reader) think that this fantastic experience is out of your budget...skip a couple Starbucks or fast food lunches and it won't take you long to save enough to enjoy a beautiful lunch or dinner at Four Roses. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 3/5 Reservation Reservations recommended Noise level Very loud, hard to hear Seating type Indoor dining area, Bar area, Outdoor patio / terrace, Booth seating Recommendation for vegetarians Somewhat recommend Vegetarian offerings Vegetarian menu or section, Clearly labeled vegetarian dishes Vegetarian options Server was very aware of the needs of customer. She asked if there were any dietary restrictions or allergies. Parking space Somewhat difficult to find parking Parking options Free parking lot Parking Several (3-4) Handicap parking spaces Kid-friendliness Yes. Open to children.

Our waitress was very friendly greeted us offered us drinks, my husband got a beer and water for me. We looked over the menu and asked for recommendations. My husband ordered the big Lake breeze beef, and it came with a scoop of sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and green beans. The meat was so tender he could cut it with a fork and he licked the plate clean. I ordered the chili wrapped flank steak with Gorgonzola cream and jalapeño relish. I was asked if medium rare is OK for the steak, but when it did come out, it was more on the rare side. The jalapeño relish was not too spicy, the meal really was delicious. we can never visit without getting dessert! my husband ordered the peanut butter pie, it was a huge portion and he absolutely loved it. I ordered the ice packs lemon pie, which is more of a custard, and it came with the homemade whipped cream. It was very good. We can never leave without getting a piece of the traditional cheesecake to go. I couldn't believe how busy the restaurant was for Wednesday night. I was glad that we had a reservation. The service is always exceptional in the food is great highly recommend to anyone in the area.
