Perfect historic location downtown, 10th & Main in the Idanha hotel. The freshest donuts and coffee I have ever indulged! The cutest decor, friendly atmosphere. Be prepared to wait a bit if there is a line, but this place is completely worth the wait & the hype! They even have a selfie "wall", board games, & couches perfect for an early morning lounge. My only regret was not trying every flavor! Highly recommended! read more

Guru Donuts - Mixed berry and Oreo donut - Donuts Near Me - Boise, Idaho

These are the best gluten free donuts I've ever had (and I've been gluten free for nearly 30 years). Most GF donuts are dense and cake-like. These are much lighter and airy, crisp on the outside and perfectly spongey inside. They are also very well balanced flavor-wise and not overly sweet. I wish there was a Guru Donuts close to my house! The only reason I'm not awarding five stars is the mediocre coffee but the donuts are definitely five stars! read more

FABULOUS vegan donuts. And the sandwich my boyfriend got was deemed, "yum." The handmade Americano with coconut milk and caramel is to die for. Love it! read more

Really cute donut shop. Prepare to spend more than you normally do on a donut. But their donuts are better than average. I paid $3 and change for their OG donut - like a glazed donut. They are more dense than your average glazed donut and larger too. This is a great place to come sit and chat over a drink and donut. read more

This is a good donut joint! I'm not sure if we went at a poor time, but I had expected a bigger variety of donuts! When we went there wasn't a huge selection. That being said - the ones we did get were delish! They had a really good flavor combination, and we enjoyed the ones we got. The environment is super unique and cool. Very colorful and fun! It was a good volume and there was a couple small families hanging out inside! It was nice. read more

I was jonesin' to fix my sweet tooth so I checked the local listings. I saw the word guru and it caught my attention. I thought, well, that's bold. So I figgered why not? After a stroll through beautiful downtown Boise I found Guru Donuts nestled in a historic building with tall spire like thingies our front. I'm a sucker for old architecture. I walked up a short flight of steps and saw a cool little eclectic business. They have a simple menu , or donut case, with 13 different donuts reneging from strawberry shortcake to your simple iced cake donut. I opted for their yuge apple fritter. And wow! Lightly iced, chunks of green apple, with a touch of cinnamon hit my taste buds like a feather drifting through the breeze. It was soft, not to sweet, and the chunks of apple were perfect. Now to my coffee. Iced caramel macchiato was blended perfectly. Not to sweet, not to strong. If you find your self in Boise and have a hankerin' for a donut and java, look no further than Guru Donuts!!!!! Wait, does that make me a donut guru? read more

Guru has since added actual gluten free donuts ...and they're amazing! I think they've also changed owners. So much better.

Came here because of the Yelp elite event and ended up taking some donuts home so I could snap a few delicious pictures for a client. The best part of this donut shop is definitely the location, right in downtown and the views from their store make you want to stay and hang out. I got a Boston cream donut and it was pretty good, not my fave for donuts but the only local place I've tried so far. I think the donuts may be Vegan... not sure but they were definitely really sweet. I also took home some other flavors and my husband said he loved them. read more

I started ordering donuts from Guru through Uber eats because I was unable to find anyone else at the time. I love their donuts. I like the Girl Scout and the hipsterberry. I went to Guru and saw other flavors like The Strawberry Basil and The Lemon Blueberry that I would love to try. I am a huge fan of donuts and Guru by far makes the best donuts. They also make a good mocha. There is also beer and wine here, which is really weird for a donut place. Brunch? I like the location. The building was once a bar that has been long gone. They turned this building a nice place to sit and have donuts and coffee. read more

I no longer walk in ignorance. My dark donut days are over. On the wings of a particularly luscious, freshly frosted maple bar--I have found donut zen. I have reached donut enlightenment. And, my people? Maple bars aren't even my favorite sort of donut. Guru Donuts pairs quality with culinary inventiveness. The result is delicious goodness that will leave you donut delighted to a level that will give you the inexplicable desire to stand up, throw your arms in the air, and shout Amen. I mean...how about trying a little Chai Caramel donut? Or a sea salted chocolate bar? Or, my hipster darlings--how about a deep purple posh pretty known as the Hipsterberry? Want to kick it old school? They have one of the best old fashioned glazed cake donuts my taste buds have ever been introduced to. It'll spin you right round, baby, right round. All that deliciousness and no preservatives or artificial colors. Even all those pretty little sprinkles are dyed with fruits and vegetables. Well done, Guru. Well done. And, hey--bring the kiddos! They even have a story time series on Tuesday mornings at 10am (and again at 10:30am). While the kids are fed and entertained, you can have a much needed cuppa and well deserved donut. A feast for the eyes and gleeful felicity for the tastebuds--Guru is a supremely fine beginning to any day. Get to it! read more

Guru Donuts - We had to try one of each - Donuts Near Me - Boise, Idaho

This is what Albertsons could offer if ... well, no it isn't. These are craft doughnuts, even if they can't spell. Not as good as Voodoo, but top quality for Boise. I had a strawberry - filled cliché and a sea salted, dark chocolate bar. Both were good, although the salt on the bar was a bit too pronounced for my taste. I should have chomped the cliché from the back side. It played out Newton's law of motion: what goes in must come out. I hope they're able to keep up with what I expect is steep rent a block from the Idaho Capitol. Great idea to share space with Boise Fry Co. Parking is easy on the weekend, but I expect it would be crazy on weekdays. Go to one of the nearby parking garages where the first hour is always free. read more

Yum! Delicious donuts! Lots of options for various dietary needs. Super friendly employees and a great place in downtown Boise. Go early, I went about 9:30am on a Friday and there was still a decent selection of donuts, but options were dwindling. I tried a Drumstick (vanilla cake donut with chocolate, vanilla and peanuts). I also shared a mocha chocolate donut with a co-worker (chocolate cake donut frosted with a light coffee flavored frosting, drizzled with chocolate frosting and mini chocolate chips). These donuts are just as pretty to look at as they are delicious to eat. When I'm in downtown Boise again this will definitely be a place to stop. I can't wait to take the hubby down there - he loves donuts more than me! read more

These donuts are going to bring the end to my skinny days. I absolutely love the vegan hipsterberry. With the sweetness of the sugar and the subtly of the bread to neutralize the bitterness that berries can have, you are left with a balanced and tasty donut. Homer Simpson would be addicted to these. read more

Worst job EVER! Insanely rough environment for the bakers. Always has been low-no staff. The work load has had bakers quitting. We ALL vocalized the work load was too much. Nothing changed. More work got put on the bakers. Last week I worked 17 hour shifts 2 days in a row and I was still told to do more, go faster. I cried during most of my shifts because I was so stressed and my body couldnt handle it. One baker should NOT be making donuts for ALL guru locations alone. Daryl intentionally sets her staff up for failure. Guru keeps closing because all of the staff keeps quitting because the work load is too much. It would be nice if someone cared. Because doing everything you can and being told its still not enough is the most defeating feeling. read more

The donuts taste great if they're cooked all the way through. This is our second experience getting donuts for our family, and coming home to raw donuts. Every donut we purchased but two were raw and we couldn't consume them. If they could perfect the cooking of the dough I would give them a 5 out of 5. read more

Girl Scout Samoa donut Toasted coconut. Chocolate stripes. Raised donut with a caramel glaze. Heaven. The donut texture was awesome. Not sure how I am going to eat donuts elsewhere without comparing to this treat. read more

I'm more a fan of a traditional, yeasty, sweet donut. But damn if Guru hasn't done a nice job of melding hipster donut craft with a tried and true donut taste. I had the Hipsterberry and the Lemon Poppyseed cake donut. The berry icing on the Hipsterberry was flavorful and not overly sweet. It would have been perfect with a jelly filling. The lemon donut was very much like an old fashioned cake but with a slight lemon taste. I'd like a tangier lemon taste. But overall both were delicious. After 3, it's buy one get one. Which is super cool. But sometimes they run out of donuts well before then. So be warned. Friendly service and clean, cool atmosphere. Guru is a go! read more

the donuts are good, but the frosting in hard and crumbles all over the place. I don't think I will ever come here again. It's mid

Okay, so five stars you may ask? Really? Yup! Not only were the donuts tasty but they offered more traditional donuts as well as interesting flavors like Key Lime and Earl Gray Tea with Lavender glaze (my choice this week!). In addition, they offered vegan donuts and ones that were actually pretty darn good with a good flavor variety considering. Another unique feature that I appreciated, while I didn't purchase as I was full, was the nitro coffee on tap as well as kombucha on tap. If I had been less full from my breakfast, I would have taken a go at trying those products right quick! While extremely busy and full of families, we had a place to sit rather quickly and the decor was fun to look at while munching on our sweets. I'm definitely going to have to go back for more! read more

Food: 4 Service: 5 Value: 4 An average donut shop. We went for HH and loved that there was a deal going on and got to try some more variety. The cake donut though didn't taste as dense and as a cake donut should in my opinion. The other choices were also just too full of sugar for my liking. Would say if you're looking for an easy donut that's not from all the other big name fast food places, this is definitely the spot. read more

All of the flavors of doughnuts are unique and amazing. They have samples cut up on the counter, and I wasn't tactful at all because I tried a piece of each one. I bought a variety, including some I sampled and some I didn't. My favorite was the mango filled doughnut. There is cool doughnut art on the wall made my local kids, the shop is clean and the staff is inviting. If you need to use the restroom, it's kind of weird because it's in a deep, dark hallway in the basement (slight exaggeration, but it feels like you're walking in an underground tunnel into Narnia). read more

Guru Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I'm an Apple Fritter connoisseur! I've resorted to making my own at home because I can't find consistently great ones anywhere, until now! This place, hands down, has THE best I've tried! I'm almost 60 years old and I spent the first forty years of my life in the Portland area and this beats any Portland area Apple fritter. To me without consistency I won't rate something, in three days I had one each day and they were each amazing! The service is excellent as well. One negative, at least for me is that you ask for tips prior to even eating the food. Tips should be based on service as well as quality of the food. Asking ahead of time is wrong in my opinion. Prices are also a little steep, however I don't mind as much when the quality is this high! I can't wait for my next visit to Idaho! read more

Guru Donuts is perfect. Great selection, speedy and helpful service and great vibe. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought the prices weren't bad either for the quality. If you're not used to gourmet donuts, you might experience sticker shock. I really liked the vegan Hipsterberry and would highly recommend it. read more

Came into the shop this week with my parents who were visiting from out of town. The shop is cute, large, and open. Plenty of places to sit. Service wasn't the best and kind of confusing. My daughter of course ordered the chocolate sprinkles which tasted like any other donut. My mom and I shared the Boston cream which was VERY good. My dad ordered the cherry pie and it definitely tasted like cherry pie though he said he could have taken it or left it. I'd come back in the future but I'm definitely not super impressed with the whole experience. read more

The new decor is horrible. That is the least of the issues now. We used to come every weekend get our vegan donuts and 5 birthday cakes a year in the large donuts - no longer!!! The donuts are just way to sweet!!!!!!!! The new owners have destroyed what was once a gem of downtown Boise. It's so sad to see this happen. My three kids have zero desire to return!!! To the new owners - these are now sugar bombs. Good luck. You're destroying the loyal base!!! You're a cheap sugary imitation of what is just a memory now!!! You have done the opposite of what a new owner should do, you destroyed what you purchased!!! You took a successful business. Changed the decor and recipes to fit your liking. You went away from what made Guru great. read more

Ordered a few different flavors. All were pretty good but my favorite was the Girl Scout donut. I like my donuts light and airy and there's are thicker. I also snacked on my donuts later in the day and they were still pretty good. Coffee was good, service with a smile and a nice clean area to hang out and enjoy your purchase. Metered, street parking wasn't an issue on a weekday morning. read more

I was so excited to try out this place while in Idaho since it was highly recommended and I saw all the flavors that they had. We arrived early, because other yelpers said that they run out of flavors pretty quick. Upon arrival I was disappointed. None of the flavors I wanted to try were available, there were only about five flavors. We still got donuts, but they were just okay. read more

What a sweet spot. For real, the best doughnuts. Vegan, and creative flavors. I tried a few different doughnuts and loved them all. The place itself it big, don't let the stairs fool you, try this place out. read more

Donut Day! Well done! I had guests and while we were riding our bikes around town I decided they needed a Guru experience, plus I was really wanting my Hipsterberry donut. This is my first visit since the business has changed hands, so I was not sure what to expect. We arrived to a long line which was expected on National Donut Day . The owner was out serving donut bites to those of us waiting, which was very considerate. In addition to bites, the band, Red Light Challenge members were playing their hearts out on the sidewalk in front of Guru. These two brothers made the wait very pleasant; super talented and a never ending repertoire of tunes from a variety of genres , across the timeline. Golly, when was the last time you heard the Monkees ? Inside, the crew was working hard to meet the needs of the hungry donut fans. Everything remains a.o.k. at Guru. read more

Guru donuts was such an exciting trip! My friend and I saw their Instagram and were stoked to get some awesome donuts. The food we got was delicious!
