How we scored Rose Donuts
Every score on this page comes from the same editorial rubric we apply to the whole category: texture & flavor, freshness, variety, value, atmosphere. The criteria are weighted toward what matters most in the category, compared against every other place we ranked in the same list rather than against an abstract ideal. We eat at the places we rank, pay full price for what we order, and re-score when a kitchen, chef or menu changes. Scores are editorial judgments rather than aggregated user ratings.
