Such a hidden gem located inside the block food hall! The donuts are pretty on the outside and tasty on the inside. Such a good fusion of flavors and textures. My favorite donut was the lychee and strawberry followed by the passion fruit. Its on the pricier side at $4+ per donut but a must try for donut lovers. They also had savory pastries as well if you don’t have a sweet tooth.

11/09/2022: I love it. Their croissants are sooooo savory. Egg and scallion was so flakey and delicious. Brioche donuts nice bite and yummy fillings. I arrived 10 minutes before opening and was 2nd in line. Service was friendly.

I preordered the doughnuts on Sunday - process was smooth. I arrived after 1 on a weekday and there were plenty of street parking available. Picking up my order was easy but I did notice all the walk-ins were sold out by that time. Ordered 4 doughnuts: passion fruit, guava mousse, strawberry rose lychee, and black sesame. They were all good but the passion fruit one was my absolute favorite. Perfect balance of sweet and tangy, good ratio of filling vs doughnut (filled doughnuts are not my faves but these, I could do!). The dough was fluffy and light. I didn’t want to eat it all in one day so I refrigerated what I had left. Warmed it up a bit in the microwave the next day and it was still delicious.

This is a small place inside a small food court. There are 2-3 other places (the bar is closed due to covid), and Rose Ave Bakery's counter is very small, tucked into the far corner. The place is clean and there is a unisex bathroom by the bakery. The staff were also friendly, efficient, and the lady I talked to was a bit peppy too. All the staff wore masks. Most of the people in line were picking up preorders. It looked like the staff had all the preorders on a cart to the side behind the counter. Also, there were lots of racks of baked goods and a nice display up front of their available baked items. We ordered a number of pastries, cookies, and a slice of ube cake. The ube cake was very good, strong ube flavor, and the icing wasn't too sweet either. All the donuts were good, dense with a good amount of filling. Only complaint was too much sugar sprinkled on the donuts. The peach was also very fresh and very good. The scallion pancake bun was fluffy and tasty, but I was disappointed at the use of excessive spice which drowned out the scallion flavor. All the cookies were very good. In all, excellent food, if a bit expensive. Will most likely come back, but not regularly. I am very interested in trying more of their ube products.

Came in right around lunch on a weekend. Folks aren't joking, they do sell out fast for their baked goods. We were able to get one of the last specialty donuts and it was delicious. There were some interesting flavours too like the pandan one. Another thing that we enjoyed is that the donuts aren't exceedingly sweet which allows you to taste some of the more unique flavours instead of just pure sugar.
