I didn't catch the gentleman's name that was there with morning at the time of this review. He was super chill and very helpful. He helped me put a box together for my coworkers. It was my first time in and he had some excellent recommendations! I will be coming back! Great staff!! read more

It's my first time at this location today.. is it normal for them to leave a whole inch off the top of the coffee or am I being dramatic? This genuinely upset me lol read more

Went on a Sunday morning and there were plenty of options to choose from. The donuts were yummy and the staff was friendly!

I have to say, I was hugely disappointed. The prices were high and the donuts were meh. My apple fritter tasted like it was a three day old donut, it was literally crunchy. read more

Very limited supply at 11 am. The early birds get the donuts. The ones we did get were ok.

Went to grab a few donuts and sandwiches with my mom, great service, good vibe and the food tasted great too. I do love the space they have in there. read more

Well, the donuts looked good, but I didn't get to try one! I swear I was invisible! I got NO service! Everybody around me got served, but whenever I would approach one of the three cashiers, they would talk away to take care of other things behind the counter! After 10 minutes of this, I finally put my drink back in the fridge and left. I don't plan on returning to be ignored again! I'll go to Scottie's, at least I know what their donuts taste like! read more

Well I guess the rest of the reviews should tell you all you need to know. I can't even rate the donut because they don't adhere to their posted hours of operation. If you want to maybe get a donut one day, but really like to live on the edge and probably not get a donut, then this is the place for you. Also if you hate speaking on the telephone, you're in luck! They don't answer the phone during business hours either AND they don't even have an answering service to leave a message. If you try to call them, a huge middle finger emerges from your phone and pokes you in the eye. Do yourself a favor and drive to Albertsons for your donut. read more

If you don't like the donuts here, I don't know who hurt you or what's going wrong in your life. The pastries here are far better than Guru or Duck or any of the designer donuts around town that are twice the price. Their basic glazed is light and airy, but not as fluffy and insubstantial as Krispy Kreme. You still feel like you're eating a donut, but it's got that perfect tender texture and just the right amount of crackly glaze. Their bar donuts are just as good, with a tender base and a light chocolate or maple coating on top. Even a little bit later in the day when they get crispy they don't seem stale. My favorite is the old fashioned, which is dense and moist and has a beautiful, sweet glaze. They also offer buttermilk bars, which are the same dough just in a fun, crinkly bar which adds some nice density. If you're feeling adventurous, they have cake donuts with a variety of glazes and sprinkles, as well as maple bars with bacon that my friends rave about. As someone who enjoys the plainer things in life, I appreciate the perfection of their cake donut: not too sweet, nice, tender crumb, and just the right size. I don't need a donut the size of a hubcap. Something that will fit in my palm is just right. They lose stars, though, for running out of multiple donut types fairly early in the day. No fritters or twists or maple bars were available at 11:00 am on a recent weekday, and they still have 7 hours left before they closed. THe service doesn't offer an alternative or to bake a new batch any time soon--they're just done. The prices are also pretty high. You don't really get a discount per dozen; they charge per donut if you get a variety so 12 assorted is $12, which is much higher than anywhere else around (the fancy gourmet places notwithstanding.) They also still have their lobby seating closed. Why? I am all for customer and staff safety, but literally all establishments in Boise are open at this point, so it doesn't seem to be a health choice. The store itself isn't super clean, though, so maybe they're saving you from eating in the dumpy little front lobby. The parking lot is super handy and it's never busy when I've been, so there isn't a problem with a line. I say 5 stars for the donuts themselves, but 2 stars for the rest of the experience. read more

The donuts here are just average. Nothing special. We got a dozen of many different kinds, and they all tasted fine but weren't super fluffy or soft. These are not the light, airy kind of donuts. The woman behind the counter was friendly. read more

This place was terrible! I don't usually do negative reviews but this place totally sucked! The doughnut was way to bready and not enough frosting. The counter woman was super rude, unfriendly and impatient with my 11 yr old when he tried to decide which of their meager selection he wanted. With no other customers in the building! Their prices were also very high for such boring doughnuts, Bavarian cream filled $2*50, maple bars that don't taste like maple $2 read more

Hi everybody! It's Bob Flanders your favorite Idaho food critic. Today at around 2:30 I was gonna get my usual after lunch donut but then, my go-to donut shop was closed. I gasped and clenched. I was in disbelief. I was panicking, I had to have my after lunch donut. I was in tears. I was hopeless. Then, I saw a shimmer of light in the alley way. A shaman emerged from the alley way, as his loin cloth fluttered in the wind. He said " My boy, there is a donut shop not to far from here.". I said " Thank you!" as I bowed to the shaman. I looked in the direction of DK donuts, and then I looked back into the alley way and he was gone. Then, I started my journey to DK Donuts. The donut was acceptable. read more

It was a dark and quiet morning. 5:00 am, and nothing is moving in Meridian, Idaho. Slowly and silently, a quiet Yelp reviewer and his wife pull into the parking lot, desiring coffee before heading down the road for a long road trip. Suddenly, and without warning, a bold red light becomes visible out of the corner of his eye. "What can this be?", he gasps. There are red letters for "DK" shining forth, followed by the invitation "Donuts". They feel the draw of the words; They can detect the scent of baked goods wafting in the soft morning air; The donuts call to them... They can not resist... They partake. It is good. Summary: Perhaps the best donuts in the treasure valley. Read it. Learn it. Live it. ==========true story========== Me: "Someone told me you look like an Owl." Wife: "Really? Who?"

DK Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

I stopped in here early morning, about 6 am, to get 2 dozen doughnuts for a work meeting. The couple working were friendly and are hard workers. They had the doughnut case super full and fresh. It was a busy morning for them and they were working hard to get everyone's day started right and timely. Durning the meeting there were many compliments on the doughnuts and asked where I got them. I thought that was cool because they're just doughnuts after all, but apparently, people know when they get a good doughnut and DK delivers. FUN FACT: This review had me pondering-- is it Doughnut or Donut. I hadn't put much thought into it until now. According to grammarist.com, the dictionary-approved spelling for the ring-shaped cake made of dough and fried in fat is doughnut. The shortened donut has been around since the late 1800s, but it wasn't popularized until the late 20th century, when the successful American doughnut chain Dunkin' Donuts made it ubiquitous. Today, writers outside the U.S. still favor doughnut by a wide margin. Donut appears about a third of the time in published American writing. read more

Been there twice & both times the lady behind the counter was rude & they had almost no doughnuts made and nothing coming out. Both times were before 10am. read more

My son and I seek out donuts every Friday morning. This morning we came across this small piece of heaven. I think we have finally found our new "go- to" donut shop. The donuts are amazingly fresh and so darn good! Seriously one of the best maple bars I've had. My son has said "this is the best donut ever!" about a million times so far. It's a bit of a drive from west Nampa but totally worth it!!! read more

DK Donuts - Rave review! - Donuts Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

My favorite donut shop in town! Seriously, I don't understand the hype about Krispy Kreme. DK Donuts is the real deal! I can get all my favorites that I learned to love as a child. I haven't had a donut in several months but today I splurged and had a chocolate bar for breakfasts and a chocolate cake donut with BSU sprinkles for lunch. I stopped in this morning to pick up 2 dozen donuts for an employee meeting. I got one dozen of mixed bars and the other dozen was a mixture of old fashioned, cake with sprinkles, custard filled, etc. The owners are friendly and it is always clean. My grand total was $19 and some change. read more

DK Donuts - My fave donut shop in town! Love the blue & orange sprinkles :) - Donuts Near Me - Meridian, Idaho

This review is probably biased. But that's fine, because this DK Donuts is spectacular. Full disclosure: When I woke up at 3:40 a.m. on a vacation day and climbed out of bed and into -1 degrees of raw Idaho morning to make their 4 a.m. grand opening, I became more than this outlet's first customer, ever. I became its donut godfather, and thus assumed all the responsibility and impartiality that such a made-up title implies. I'm totally rooting for Darren, his family, and their little slice of a strip mall that has long been a place where Meridian's small businesses go to die. Partly because he shook my hand and claimed I'd been good luck when I came back for a second box at 11 a.m. on their first day and found they had almost sold out, but mostly because they're a close and easy place to get delicious donuts. And they most definitely are delicious donuts, fried in stages all morning so you're always likely to get something fresh. Their strawberry and blueberry frosted cake donuts are the best of their kind, anywhere, and their old-fashioneds live up to the standard set by DK's flagship Boise location. The old-fashioned crueller, in particular, is a hard-fried, butter-soaked monument to West Coast donut supremacy that would rank as the single dopest pastry in the Treasure Valley if it weren't for Country Donuts' legendary fritters. Speaking of fritters, the apple ones at DK are decent -- a little thin, flimsy and dry, but still far superior to Winco, Albertsons or Freddie's. Likewise, their other raised options suffer from the same pitfalls that plague the original DK: thin, watery-tasting frosting, gluten-heavy dough and an unenthusiastic fry job that leaves their exteriors without enough rich crust. That said, their maple bars are still totally worth a shot, mainly because the DK dudes do a spectacular job of hiding their flaws though the simple expedient of slapping a slab of bacon on top. That alone is a good enough excuse to drop by for the occasional breakfast, although I'm pretty sure the tremendous cake donuts are enough of a draw on their own. read more

This place is such a welcome addition to Meridian. Love their donuts. They always are very fresh and there is always a wide selection. Much better then the grocery store bakery donuts which seem to be the standard in this area. The shop is bright and clean and the staff is always friendly. My favorite guilty pleasure is the bacon maple bar. But I regularly get an assorted dozen for the office and they are quickly devoured. I tried the apple fritter today. It wasn't bad, but definitely needed more apples. But the crispy outside and moist inside were good. read more

This place is okay, I arrived on a Saturday in the afternoon. Luckily nobody to wait for or nobody to be waited on behind, for I usually like to take my time on things. Immediately off the bat, 70% of the selection was gone. All the good ones I mind you. I asked if they were going to make more, and they said no. I mean, they would have too if they still had 4 more hours of operation. Regardless the cheapest donut is $.95, and they aren't anything special. I would like to give this a higher rating but first impressions say a lot. It's hard to say I will ever come back, but I would like to try an original glazed donut.. make more please. read more

Great donuts! Nice selection. Friendly staff. Would definitely pick up a dozen again.

Awful customer service! Definitely won't we back. Rude employees. Employees acted as customers were an inconvenience.

Meh. There was barely any maple/chocolate glaze on any of the donuts. Got in right as they opened and it was clear the donuts weren't all fresh. read more

The rude lady behind the counter Moon always complains about her employer taking tips from her . So she gives away free donuts looking for cash tips. read more

This is my family's "go to" donut place. Their donuts are super yummy. I'm obsessed their donut holes. My kids love the sprinkle donuts. My husband loves the maple bars. The staff is friendly and the donut shop is clean. Do beware of the one-way street in Meridian- I almost turned into one way traffic- my fault! The doughnuts are worth the drive for us. read more

Called goat star not DK. Would recommend the apple fritter and the glazed croissant. Other droughts were good, but average. Went on a Sunday at 11am and they were out of several doughnuts. Appears to be a local place, which we liked. Nothing fancy, classic doughnuts. read more

DK Donuts is the best donut shop I have found since living nearby for almost 2 years. The prices are reasonable and the donuts are amazing!

One of the things we miss in Idaho is a good donut shop. We are not a big fans of Dunkin' Donuts nor Krespy Creme. We found it is lacking simple but descent donut shops in the metro of Boise. You can find donuts from the grocery stores but they are just not the same. This is my first personal visit. My husband always swings by and grabs donuts from DK donuts and we have been loving it. The donuts here are very fresh, soft and made the ways we think donuts should be. Not sure if it was because I was there around 10:30 a.m. (a bit too late) or the selections were not that many. The shop is small but nice and clean. Quite some stools and chairs you can sit down and enjoy a donut with a cup of coffee. There is a surcharge of 40 cents if you want to charge your purchase less than $4 on a credit card. I did not try their coffee but there is a Starbucks right next door if you prefer that. Since there is no half of a star, I had to give it 4. read more

I'm a fat guy, so i know donuts. I had a twisty maple bar and let's just say, if I wasn't married, I'd marry that donut. It was perfectly fluffy and the frosting was on point. The owners are very kind and it was obvious they were passionate about their job and cared about each customer. Boom. read more

Love DK donuts, best in town. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. Get there early for the donut holes, when they are still warm it's so good. read more

This is my go to donut place and it has been for years. I highly recommend the maple bar with bacon bits! It's delicious! If your not a maple bar fan give the apple bear claw a shot. Honestly there isn't anything I haven't liked. Always fresh and the staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Love this place. Will pick up donuts any time i need more than just sugar air! These donuts are quality and worth trying.

Very rude staff, she rushed us the whole time. I would never go back again. Didn't get the donuts we wanted because she was in such a rush to ring us up. read more

Great prices and amazing doughnuts! I love the apple fritter. Also its right next to Starbucks so you can grab coffee too!

I am born and raised East Coast girl with parents from the Midwest. I grew up in the same state as the donut master Dunkin Donuts , Honeydew Donuts. Plus the famous Mike's Pastry close enough to me. Krispy Kreme are just too loaded with glaze to even taste the donut. I have to say that we love DK Donuts. On the occasion of needing a tasty sweet on those lazy Sunday mornings. The Kolache are incredible I get the regular and can never stop myself from eating it before we get home to heat it up. With the light and fluffy glazed donuts are heavenly and the kids love the maple and chocolate bars too. It might need a good scrub down to me but very friendly service. Some would say a bit pricey for donuts but you don't get that light as air amazing sweet glaze flavor for free. read more

Just arrived from CA was looking for a common " in CA" Cambodian donut shop found it here at D's in Meridian. Thida and her daughter Mary were more than polite the donuts were excellent. Probably the best in all of Idaho much better than the large chains such as Dunkin etc. I'm telling everyone if you want quality donuts from great people this is the place to go. read more

Not a wide selection of doughnuts in the mornings on Saturday, the lady seemed to be pretty in a rush to get us out of there and on the the next but. Let's talk about the doughnuts they are soft yes good doughnuts but there where no doughnuts holes so I can't speak for those the original can't compare with kk but over pretty good read more

Super good place, just went here for the first time and will never regret it. If you like donuts, this is the place to go.

I'm surprised to only learn about this place this year. I tried looking up Meridian donut shops on Google maps, only to see Krispy Kreme, which is out of the way for my commute to work. I found a workable situation where I'd get KK donuts from a Chevron on the way, but it just wasn't the same as getting hot fresh donuts from a local source. Then one day, it's as if a perception filter was turned off, I actually just saw DK donuts with my own eyes. So I went in, and it's pretty much everything I hoped from a local donut shop: Hot fresh donuts, a creative variety, a good price, and it's on the way to work. The best thing about these donuts is that they're not heavy like Albertsons' Donuts, but nor are they unrealistically light, like Krispy Kreme. They're the perfect mix of both, in my opinion. read more
