mmm-yoso!!! is back, with Cathy writing because Kirk is too busy to write and Ed (from Yuma) is too exhausted to write.
I posted about Rose Donuts almost three years ago and despite visiting here multiple times in the interim, just didn't bother posting again. (That post was primarily written to focus on the exclusive item sold here, a blueberry fritter, which has, sadly, been discontinued). Since I had a wonderful breakfast sandwich at Winchell's, I thought a few posts focusing on breakfast sandwiches at donut places would be a good topic, especially since that's been my latest way of getting breakfast.
This location, on the South East corner of Linda Vista Road at Napa, is open 24/7 and is family run.
The menu has remained the same (other than periodic price increases) with croissants, bagels and toasted bread being the choices for sandwiches and a 'combo' including a beverage and a donut or six donut holes.
Here's a turkey, egg and cheese on wheat toast ($5.65/$7.15) which can be good any time of the day. It also appears to be a bit healthier than other choices. 
However, the "Southern"- a croissant filled with ham, egg and cheese (two types) ($5.05/$6.55) is so tasty! 
The "Sunrise"-egg and cheese on wheat ($5.05/$6.55) is basic, simple and just a very good sandwich.
The "Sunshine"- a croissant with ham, bacon, egg and cheese ($5.05/$6.55) is simply decadent and a wonderful way to start the day. 
Here is part of a combo enjoyed one morning. The raised donuts are so very good here.
The buttermilk old fashioned donut is also delightful in its cake-like texture.

What, no more blueberry fritter? Sadness. I liked that they had two sizes; I usually got the smaller one so I wouldn't feel as guilty.

I know, right, cc? The blueberry was the smaller one and so very good. Blueberry choices seem to be at every donut place...but the fritter!
Its so good here, TFD- and open 24/7, so no excuse not to stop. Rose is now the easy breakfast before the airport place we take friends ever since K Sandwiches burned.
I agree with you, Bill. The simplicity of toast or even a fancy croissant with egg and cheese and maybe meat is just enough and always good.
