Donuts were fresh and tasty. Not like some that have that heavy oil taste from overcooking.read more

Ive been a local my entire life in amador, star donuts is the go to place for donuts, although…read morelately the quality is diminishing. For starters I've had friends who worked at multiple locations have a terrible time, which they only hire women, one of those friends was a person of color and would be treated differently then all the other workers and ended up getting slowly taken off the schedule. The other issue is they never restock. I came a couple weeks ago and asked for a roast beef sandwich, they are out. So I ask for pastrami, they are out. I ask for grilled chicken, guess what, they are out. I thought it mightve been because it was later in the day, but ever time I've tried again they NEVER have it restocked. I dont understand how you run a business but treat workers like that, and never have anything. I forgot to mention the donut crumble is just old donuts that didnt sell, so they crush them up and leave them in a bucket for rats to get to (true story from the inside, maybe run a business right and these reviews wont happen, dont let me get started on all the corners EVERY restaurant out here cuts.)

A Pleasant Surprise with a Small-Town Feel…read more This one caught me off guard--in a good way. I was out with my family practicing for my daughter's driving test at the DMV up the street. We pulled up Yelp to find a good lunch spot, saw the solid reviews, and decided to give it a try. When we walked in, the atmosphere had that small-town vibe--simple, welcoming, and comfortable. The food was very good. The service wasn't polished like a Michelin star restaurant, but it didn't need to be. It was authentic and heartfelt, and sometimes that matters more. You could tell the staff cared about what they were doing. The place was busy, especially for the time of day we went, which tells you something. People come here on purpose. That says a lot. We were seated quickly, our order was taken without any issues, and the food came out in a reasonable time. When it hit the table, the portions were generous and satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too busy enjoying the moment. If you go, post your photos--I'm sure the business would appreciate it. If you've followed my reviews, you know I don't give out 4 stars often, and 5 stars are rare. This place earned that extra star because of how it made me feel--between the food, the atmosphere, and the service, it just worked. If I'm ever back in the area, I'm definitely coming back for another meal.

I learned today that the only standalone Starbucks in Amador County somehow runs out of cold…read morebrew... at 3:00 in the afternoon. "Unfortunately, we're out for the day." That's kind of like a steakhouse running out of steak before dinner. Then there's the mystery chair sitting right in the middle of the drive-thru entrance. What's the plan there? Is it a checkpoint? A timeout chair? Am I supposed to pull up, have a seat, and wait for someone to explain why my Cold Foam Horchata is now a work of fiction? You can't drive around it, so it feels oddly intentional. To make matters worse, Little Caesars is right next door. If I sit in that chair long enough, I'm convinced someone's going to hand me a cup of ranch instead of coffee. And the staff? Let's just say the energy matched the empty cold brew tap--completely gone. I've seen more enthusiasm from a self-checkout machine. It felt like I interrupted a group project they didn't want to be part of in the first place. No smiles, no urgency, just vibes of "you're lucky we're even open." The whole experience felt like the coffee version of showing up to a pool party and finding out they forgot to fill the pool--and then getting attitude for asking where the water is. On the bright side, the Starbucks inside Safeway just earned itself a 5-star review for simply existing and apparently keeping cold brew in stock.
