    A gem in our neighborhood. We have been coming here for 26 years. Consistently great donuts. I like to walk here, but there is olenty of parking, easy access. Give this family business your support

    Nice To go box

    Where you can find fresh donuts late afternoon, Donut Star is my choice. They are open until 7 pm and has fresh donut all day long. You don't see too many donut shops in a stand-alone buildings anymore. Donut Star is one of them. They've been in the exact location for many years when donut shops are everywhere. Most of the donut shops that opened at the same time are long gone. They are still there serving their customers even when we are in the pandemic. Their donuts are not overly sweet. Perfect taste for me. Not too oily too! I know! I know! Donuts are bad for me! But at least I feel better when I'm eating a donut with less sugar and less oil! Lol!

    Saturday may 4 2024 @ around 5:30pm. My sis and i came to this spot for some donuts. We have been here before but usually earlier in the A.M. now the donuts were good, however the service was horrible. The lady who worked there was very short and brief in a rude way when we asked about certain donuts. She never acknowledged us and gave us an attitude the whole time. I even asked to warm one up and she ignored it and slightly tossed our donuts on the counter to ring us up. I had to ask her again that id like my cream cheese croissant warmed. She was NOT helpful at all when i wanted a certain item that was not in the correct place she just said they didn't have it- and didn't even tell me what the item was that i pointed at - and again she was just rude to my sister and i which is why I'm being nice by giving the 3 stars.. when a gentleman came in right after us she was super friendly to him and than became cold again when my sister and i were paying for our item.. she picked and choosed who she wanted to be kind to.. horrible service.. when ive been here before earlier hours the other people are typically nicer however this was a bad experience. definitely needs to work on her customer service skills and not discriminate against people.

    Yikes better pics tomorrow

    Do(go)nuts! Had to stop and get some. Can't say no to donuts. Plenty to choose from and the 3 for one dollar donut ends with cream on top- ooh la la!! Shared with Juan. Bought half a dozen of mixed donuts... The donuts were yummy!! Still have 4 more to go :) Go here, after you get some street tacos from a food truck behind the shop. Fabulous Saturday it is!!

    Gluten free donuts!! I found this spot on a brief visit recently and had a craving for a pastry. I…read morehad to try it! My eye was first drawn to the churro, I haven't been able to have one in years, I was so excited. It was everything I ever wanted in a churro. Crispy outside, fluffy inside, and coated with cinnamon sugar. I could have polished off a dozen of them! The apple fritter was also on my must try list. I grew up loving apple fritters and since having to go GF, it is my most missed donut-adjacent treat. This one was smaller than a normal one, but that was fine because I could actually enjoy it without it being too big. Perfectly fluffy with apple pieces and spiced just right, it was delicious. The cruellers were nice and crispy on the outside and just sweet enough. Glazed with chocolate or regular icing, they are a perfect donut. I have recommended this spot to others that are GF, they need to experience the joy of a prefect GF donut!

Both tasted very good but slightly different without dairy. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the flavor and textures. My friend ended up with the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie which was also great. I love a crunch or different texture mixed in. She did mention that the Rocky Road tasted a bit off because of the lack of dairy and the texture was a bit unusual. The staff were polite and patient and the place didn't seem that crowded for a Thursday around dinner time. I suppose with Ginger Elizabeth's and Rick's Dessert Diner all on the same strip, there is a lot of competition for dessert places here. We were happy to try something new. Everything was fairly clean and there was plenty of bar seating as well as a few tables. I believe there were also tables outside.

I ordered the taro latte with pudding, mango coconut pudding, spicy crab, and tator tots. Taro latte was 70% sweetness and was still kinda sweet. That was on me though. I typically order 50% sweet but this was my first time here so I only went slightly less sweet than the base. The mango coconut pudding was really good but also slightly sweet for me. The spicy crab rice ball was delicious. It was hot when it came out and didn't have too much mayo. The tater tots were super hot and crunchy. Not too salty either. Definitely coming back to this location!

We especially excited to try the instant ramen maker. We walked in and ordered in the kiosk. The menu had different teas, mochi donuts, dumplings, corndogs, and other snacks. However, after ordering we noticed the ramen wasn't on there. We asked the staff and they said the ramen maker wasn't working so that was disappointing. They were also out of something I ordered and they were able to refund me. The drinks and food took a bit to come out. The wonton and dumplings were ok, but the soup it came in was pretty good. The taro drink and mochi dog we got were good. Inside was very picturesque with a good amount of seating. The ramen wall was impressive and had a good selection. It served more for a decoration that day than for eating. But we loved the cute tree and floral wall. They also had some games for you to play with while waiting. Overall everything was ok but maybe we'll be back to give it another try.

From the moment you walk in, you get that welcoming, neighborhood feel--the kind of place where the staff remember your usual order and greet you like a regular. That level of service really adds to the community vibe. The doughnuts here are anything but ordinary. They're flavorful, creative, and reasonably priced, with options that go far beyond the basics. Whether you're craving something sweet or leaning toward savory, there's truly something for everyone in the family. And yes--vegan options are available, which makes this spot even more inclusive. One of the underrated perks is their rewards program, which is perfect if you're ordering for large meetings, family gatherings, or just fueling your regular breakfast routine. And if you know, you know--star bread lovers will be very happy here. Overall, this is the kind of place that turns a simple doughnut run into an experience worth repeating. Definitely a gem worth supporting!

BAD Bakers for the most part is typical donut shop with exception of the Staxx. It something known for plus also have some savory style filled ones. I was thinking trying donuts but really about the Staxx. We got dozen take back cousins place to share rest of the family. The Staxx best way describe it is dinner roll but sweet and addicting. It hot and moist. Nice golden brown crust. I feel maybe honey or extra sugar gives it extra sweetness. If anything popped right in mind was bread Texas Roadhouse. Really good. If never had one should try them if get opportunity in life.

I ordered a vanilla cake with fruity pebble sprinkles and a small coffee. Sitting down at the classic table took me back to childhood days of getting 2 donuts for a dollar in middle school and I just enjoyed it. :) Biting into my donut felt perfect. It was the perfect amount of cake and lite crunch, cooked to perfection, showing that this shop knows the art of donuts. The vanilla frosting was on point and the fruity pebbles accented the donut perfectly with a nice cup of black cawfee. Go check this place out!
