What a cute spot a super friendly staff. I found this place on the Too Good To Go app and was pleasantly surprised with how much donuts I got for half the price. They were delicious and I'll be marking this spot as a top donut contender for 2026. read more

Donut Star - Donuts Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

What a fun lobby; the fabulous neon star and pink space themed mural on the wall compelled a selfie outta me, lol. While this place is relatively small (as one would expect a hole-in-the-wall donut shop to be), they've made impressive use of the space, as there's plenty of tables and chairs to sit at (even a couple on the outside of the establishment, for warmer temperature seasons than presently, aha). It was clean and modern. The employee working behind the counter was friendly and matched my enthusiastic energy, which was appreciated. There didn't seem to be a huge selection of donut varieties available (though I was also there after 11am, which might have something to do with that... this place is open until noon or until they run out of product, whichever comes first), but plenty enough to give me difficulty choosing which to get! All the donuts/baked goods seemed to be priced at $2.50 each. Not an outrageous sum, though more than I'd like... I fear the days of the $1 donut are nothing but a distant memory nowadays. Anyway, I grabbed two donuts and went on my merry way home. The employee put them in a nice wax paper coated baggie. The flavor of the donuts was good. Not addictively incredible, but yummy. There's a decent chance I'll be stopping by in the future simply because this place is along a route I typically take for running errands, and my sweet tooth may compel me to "reward" myself for running said errands, hehe! read more

Good. Not my type of raised/yeast donut. These had a croissant ish consistency. I liked the glazed old fashioned. Not my jam but may be yours? read more

My coworkers and I love this spot for locally made donuts! The donuts are always so fresh, light and fluffy!!! They have a great selection to choose from and all are reasonably priced. My favorite is the Boston Cream. You can order ahead of time which is nice, especially if you're wanting to pick up a great selection the next morning for a larger group. They serve Tapestry Coffee which pairs perfectly with a delicious donut! The staff always greet you with a smile. The decor inside is so fun. There is a small indoor seating area and a few tables out front. Inside they also have a seating area with toys and stuff to keep kiddos occupied. There is limited parking out front but there is a larger lot out back. They are open 6am-12pm daily, or until sold out, so get there early! Definitely worth the stop for a tasty morning treat if you're in the area. read more

Yummy! I love that this is still a classic family owned donut shop! The donuts were so good and unique. I'm lucky I went in alone or the family would have went home with far more donuts, trying them all! read more

First time trying and hearing about Donut Star (thanks to a friend thinking of me and getting me a donut.). I enjoyed a chocolate cake donut. It was fresh and delicious (I believe made the morning of 10/11/24). Donut was perfectly flavorful. I loved the sprinkles on the donuts and perfect amount of glaze. Unfortunately, I'm unable to comment on the service as I didn't go into the bakery myself, but I'll have to check it out when I'm in the area sometime. I do have to say the box the donuts came in was adorable- love the touch of the state of mn. read more

Very good gourmet donuts. The coffee was the best I had while I was up there working.

First time here. I saw on Facebook that they have the We Support Burnsville Police and firefighters signs. This was on a Sunday and other businesses that have the signs are closed. I called and 2 were saved for me. So of course, I needed to return the favor and buy something. Donuts are $2, but there is a special to get 6 things for $5.50. I got 2 hot fudge sundae donuts with a real cherry on top, 2 apple fritters and 2 cookies. All are really good. I normally don't frequent donut shops, but was in the area to get the signs. read more

Donut Star - a sign for a fire department - Donuts Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

I think they got new ownership, not too long ago because there is new life in this bakery that I've grown up going to. And in my opinion, the donuts are even better than I remember them being. The mural on the wall is so cute and they've just updated the space as a whole. I bring donuts in for work a good amount and they used to have limited hours so I would have to try a different donut shops in the never compared. Looks like they're open seven days a week now which means I don't have to go to a random place (that usually disappoints in comparison) anymore. I've got enough that I'm able to recognize some of their alternating favorites. The chai twists are so delicious if they have any form of a blueberry old-fashioned run to get it. But their normal raised vanilla sprinkle donut is delicious too. The staff is always nice and you can order ahead online too. I wish they had some sort of rewards program at this point since I go so much lol. read more

Friendly, bright donut shop with a good selection of delicious donuts! When we walked in, they gave our 2-year old a donut ball - made his morning! We got a half dozen donuts to share ($9) and although they were all good, the chocolate old fashioned and strawberry glazed were our favorites! On the way out we noticed they have a coloring area for kids. We will be back soon! read more

Donut Star, you truly are out of this world. You'd have me at any of your regular doughnut options, for getting the doughnuts perfectly done, beautifully textured, and well-flavored, but boy howdy are your specials worth writing home about. I snagged a peach-rhubarb doughnut this spring that was nothing short of amazing. It made my day. read more

Run to this donut shop! You won't regret it. As soon as you enter ( well, even before that ) you can smell the scent of freshly baked donuts right outside the door. They have a neon pink Star sign hung up as well as murals for decor. I love the clear glass showcase of all the donut options as well. You can't go wrong with any flavor of donut here. The frosted ones are really amazing though, and their filled donuts are incredible. They're always coming up with new flavors as well. I especially love the apple fritter. But seriously, everything I've tried is so good. So lucky to have this donut shop in the suburbs! It may not look like much from the outside, but it's seriously so worth it. Very affordable as well compared to other donut shops in the Cities. read more

Every time I want donuts, I think of the quality, quantity, and service of Donut Star. Thank you for many enjoyable mornings!

Just popping in to update my previous review - after living here a few more years and having several chances to visit Donut Star this place deserves the five stars! The employees are always great, the donuts are always good (especially if you can get there early enough to try some of everything), and the interior seems to have gotten a face lift and the vibe from that is so fun! I love this place and look forward to many more years of frequenting here!! read more

Finally made it to the revamped Donut Star! We bought a dozen donuts and though I'm just one in, I'm sold! Simple flavor choices executed well is more than enough for a five star from me - the updated space (that looks amazing) and friendly service were both a cherry on top. Here's what we've tried so far out of the dozen - I'll be doubling back to the box this afternoon for a caramel roll, and this evening for a Boston cream pie donut dessert! -Vanilla cake donut with sugar: devoured in about 60 seconds (so good!) -Cruller: "really good" (which is a big compliment from my partner) -Strawberry frosting cake donut: partner didn't love the texture of the frosting (he said "it's probably just a style choice ) but said the flavor was good! Updated to add: I had the caramel roll and it was the best one I've ever had. No joke. So good! read more

The donut star has been a go to for many people in Burnsville/Eagan for years. When they got sold and revamped the place many were skeptical. Well let me tell you. The service is great and the donuts whole not the same as before they are just as good. They are still moist and fresh. The new flavors are also interesting and fun. The dining area is outer space themed and fun for the littles. If you crave that neighborhood vibe for a donut place check them out. read more

Finally gave Donut Star a try and we're so glad we did! The remodel they've done is beautiful, and the service was top notch. The girl working that day took her time to chat with everyone while also moving through the line quickly. My favorite of the day was the almond buttercream donut - delicious!! They also have really decent cold brew. read more

Way overpriced. I like the old recipe for donuts, the donuts taste different since Mark died and the new owners took over.

As the name implies, these are some of the best donuts in the area and the pricetag makes it easy to snag up all sorts of delicious, ever-changing menu items (my wife and I tried the bear claw, ginger lemon berry fritter, and a vanilla almond buttercream bar) and the coffee's pretty good also! Really nice, friendly and helpful staff, nice dining area that's been redone since the last owners with some cool wall art and some kid friendly stuff for coloring etc., and some outdoor seating also which we took advantage of since the weather was nearly perfect. I definitely recommend and will be back read more

Donut Star, oh Donut Star where have you been all my life? Your delightful simplicity and focus on one thing, donuts, is an incredible discovery in these daze of confusing multiplicity and mass produced blandness. Tucked away in a non-descript strip mall I thought at first glance you were a Chinese restaurant. Thankfully that big red word DONUT on the sign above the entrance made me realize this is an opportunity to meet someplace new. Meeting the two ladies who are part of the fifth family to own Donut Star was almost as tasty as the two donuts I ordered. Donut Star was a refuge from the snow storm I was navigating on that fateful Friday in mid-January. Lucky for me they had plenty of donuts to choose from thanks to the poor driving conditions. Get there early since they usually sell out. Which tells you something about the quality of the donuts created at this small gem of a bakery. read more

We passed by a number of times but it was closed. I had a hankering for donuts but didn't want to grab any donut. I wanted a good old fashioned. That's why one morning I woke up and we were so excited to head to donut star. We made it right before closing time. The donuts were so worth it. Sugary and the perfect compactness of dough. It's this awesome local donut shop. Nothing pretentious but just donuts at a super easy price. Plus, the lady behind the counter threw in a some free donuts since it was closing time! Not a place to go out of your way but a wonderful to get that old school local donut taste read more

I went here during the COVID-19 pandemic for three reasons: 1) I read glowing reviews on Nextdoor, Yelp and Google. 2) I wanted to support a local business. 3) Because donuts are never a bad idea. My family and I went and immediately ordered a dozen. We then went home and had breakfast for supper just so we could eat more of these donuts. They are so good. Pretty normal flavors (no outlandish flavors or combinations here) just really good quality donuts. They don't taste greasy or heavy. They are JUST DARN GOOD. We will be coming back again and again. I'm very pleased to recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

Overall: Donut star since being revamped has brought an elite donut experience for anyone in the south metro! You won't be disappointed. The shop has a creative feel with great vibes overall.

Crunchy outside, soft inside, great flavor! The kids get raised donuts and love them but they're the easiest critics in the world. The blueberry donut holes. Just do yourself a favor and grab some for the ride home. This place is awesome!! read more

New owners May 2022. Not the same Donut star we have been going to for 20 years. Recipes changed, menu changed and it is NOTHING like it use to be. Very disappointed.

They don't have MOST of the donuts shown in the photos. read more
