    I need to begin this review with a huge THANK YOU to our wondeful community manager Michelle for these fantastic donuts l, and what an honor it is to be named Reviewer of the Year! Okay so, earlier in the year I hit Guru (the DT location) hard in the gut. Each visit after the other was worst. And while I still can't provide a 5 star review I can gladly say this experience wasn't bad at all. Michelle was so sweet, and let me pick out which donuts I wanted. I love seasonal, limited edition items, so I chose Peppermint Hot Chocolate (raised ring topped with chocolate, crushed peppermint bits, and homemade marshmallows by Creekside Mallow Co), Eggnog Cheesecake (bismark covered in graham cracker crumbles, dusted nutmeg, house made cheesecake eggnog filling), and an old fashioned Boston Cream. Right off the bat, A+ for dispaly. These donuts are so pretty! I have to give Guru praise for always excelling in beautiful presentation. I LOVE cream filled donuts so right away I ate the Eggnog Cheesecake. Guru's Instagram states that it is "stuffed to the brim with filling," however I find that misleading. There wasn't much filling - the picture included is a couple bits in. I didn't find any filling until halfway done. Nonetheless it was SO. EFFING. GOOD. If there is any donut I'd return to Guru for, this is it. As the for Peppermint Choc, I saved that one to accompany my morning coffee the next day. It stayed surprisingly fresh and tasted fantastic. I didn't get to try the Boston Cream because while I was busy at a photo shoot with the limited edition guys, he was chowing it down. *glares at him with malicious intent burning inside* All around, I am so happy I can finally say I had a good experience with Boise's most famous donut stop. I'm still dreaming about that Eggnog Cheesecake, might have to make a donut run soon...

    Food - donuts were delicious! Yes they are priced more than your normal donut, but I think it's worth it! Service - friendly service each time we've been here. Ambiance - friendly family vibe. Good music in the background! Love the upstairs! Super cute!

    Could not ask for a better donut AND coffee AND tea AND sandwiches AND toast & more! All locally sourced, locally made, served with care. But who are we kidding- they had me at GLUTEN FREE donuts- num num num ! I highly recommend you swing by the Eagle location in person, via pickup or via delivery like I just did for my bday week. Woohoo quality donuts for all!

    I stopped in here on 3.12.22. Never had been before this. I was doing a Pound Fitness event with some people from my gym that day and one of them, her Birthday was that week. Prior to this, I had talked allllll kinds of shit about how disgusting cake doughnuts are and she pipes in from outta nowhere... didn't even know she was basically standing right behind me lol..she says.."HEY! I LOVE cake doughnuts!" Hahaha! That happened back in February so I figured...I'll get her some cake doughnuts for her Birthday because she likes them and as a joke. My original plan was to go to Fit 'Donuts' (Americans NEED TO STOP spelling it .. donuts ugh lol anyway!..) So yeah my plan was to go to the other place because their doughnuts, for cake doughnuts are somewhat decent, I mean if you ACTUALLY have to have a cake doughnut, go to Fit Donuts. However that place was in the opposite direction of where I was doing. So I looked at Yelp for other doughnut locations and Guru popped up. I had heard sooooo many good things about this place. So where to begin lol. I walk in, place is cute, the vibe is on point, employees are all nice and whatnot, etc. I go to the counter to order and they hardly have any kind of selection. Very limited. The prices threw me! They start at like $2.75 a piece and go up to like $3.85 a piece. I might be a little off here and there, but honestly, not by much. I lovvvvvve me some doughnuts. Every couple weeks, I'll get myself a couple and usually at DK Donuts, downtown or Pastry Perfection. It's like a cheat treat for me. I stopped at Guru and got my friend some cake doughnuts and got myself 2 "hipsterberry" doughnuts. Basically just a plain doughnut with what I think was huckleberry on top, not sure. Regardless, they were disgusting. It was like biting into a piece of paper that was trying hard to have some flavor. They were over $3 each too, I think. I got my friend 4 cake doughnuts, I think and all together it was just under $20! For DOUGHNUTS! For highly overrated doughnuts! My friend said she loved the cake doughnuts. Have you ever had a friend be like "f__k they were disgusting! But thanks anyway!" No, most likely not lol. Was she telling the truth, maybe? Probably, but if she wasn't, I wouldn't blame her if she lied hahaha! People don't have to spare my feelings and especially when it comes to the sacredness of...doughnuts haha! If they suck, straight tell me so I know next time to actually go with my original plan lol. Either way, her saying she enjoyed them, made me happy even if I low key was doubting tf out of her haha! They are cake doughnuts tho...so who knows. The ones I had "hipsterberry" perfect name for a doughnut sold at this place. This is definitely a spot that I'm sure the hipsters love. If they hate the doughnuts, they'll go just to hang out there. Who knows, maybe their coffee is good? Let's hope so. The hipsterberry ones were bland af, but they weighed a ton lol. It was like biting into a super thick piece of bread that wasn't fully baked, if that makes sense? Point is, I absolutely will not be going back. Even when my friend said she loved hers, I lied myself and was like..."oh good, glad you liked them. Place is decent" That's the best I could do because IF she was being 100% honest with me, I didn't wanna be all like PUKE! Never again! I'm sorry I didn't get you the Fit Donuts! Hahaha! I know my opinion on this place would probably be filed in the "unpopular opinion" folder, but I know there are some out there that definitely agree. Next time, if I can't make it to Fit, DK, or anywhere else, I'll just get a gift to them the next time I see them because you couldn't pay me to go back here. Even if you did, I'd be able to buy like...1 doughnut because they're so insanely overpriced for what you get. Hahaha! Ok. Rant over. Like I said for the positives...the place was super cute, staff was so insanely friendly, definitely little hipsters running the place, but they were the best part of my first and last experience with this place. Thanks for reading, YelpuGurus! Cheers!

    Finally made it in to Eagles Guru. I think this location is nicer than Boises. I like the upstairs area and that there is seating downstairs. I feel like Boise is pretty slow but this one moved faster for us. My daughter loves their healthy homer donut. I tried their humongous peppermint chocolate donut which is a December special. I loved it but my husband wasn't a fan. My husband has picked up donuts here for Mother's Day and he has mentioned he likes this location better as well.

    Donut. Donut. Donut. Yeah I was singing it as I typed it. I'm not the first or the last who will sing praises of Guru. This is only my second time eating their donuts. I forget they are in Eagle. Now that the movie theater is open again, I stopped in before my show and grabbed a couple to share with my family I was meeting. They hadn't had them. They loved them as much as I do. I'm a sucker for anything Alice in Wonderland, hence ordering this delicious donut with sprinkles on top of vanilla frosting. It was magical. We followed the Alice with the Rocky Road. I am a chocolate fan but honestly I was surprised how much in preferred that Alice donut! Ultimately though...you can't go wrong at Guru!!

    Been eating Guru donuts for many years and was kind of glad I had to drive downtown to get them since that meant I wouldn't eat them every day. Then they opened a location in Eagle.... Doh!!! Love their vegan options. The Hipsterberry is legendary and the Alice in Wonderland is also a favorite. They also change their menu regularly to bring out different seasonal donuts. I haven't read the other reviews to see what people are complaining about, but Guru is a long-time favorite of mine and I love the new location. Yeah, they're more expensive than Winco donuts but they're at a while different level.

    Half dozen
    Ridz D.

    I'd heard a lot of great things about Guru donuts so I wanted to give it a try now that there's a location in Eagle. Presentation wise- they look cute! The donut shop looks nice and clean and the donuts are all presented well. Taste- I have never been so disappointed in a donut. They had the density of bagels that had been frosted and disguised as a donut. I tried both cake donuts and fried donuts and was disappointed with both. I think the yeast donuts should be much airier and softer. Price- I feel like I got scammed. I wanted to get the classic half dozen which was about 13 dollars. The lady behind the counter kept mentioning that she didn't have enough for that but I could just pick out individual donuts for my box. My total was 19 dollars... when the specialty half dozen is only about 16-17. I asked her why and she said it's because 2 of the donuts I picked were specialty donuts. Somehow I ended up paying more than that. All in all, I'm not sure if it was a bad batch but I would advise against going in again. The donuts have been sitting on the table for days at this point and no one wants another bite.

    Do you have a party space for a kids birthday?

    I don't think they have a dedicated child specific space- but it's open enough space I think could wrk for very small grp- or if u can wait for better weather- lots of wonderful seating on outside of building

    Are there gluten free and dairy free options?

    We have both gluten friendly and vegan options!

    Good time to update my review to say that Pastry Chef Veronica Herrera, aka VV, and her husband…read morebought this artisan bakery after the original owners closed it in 2025 and they will be celebrating their one year anniversary on July 27 with an open house for which rsvp is needed. Check their insta and FB accounts for info. If you haven't discovered them yet, you're missing out! WHAT'S NEW: The Herreras retained the name and have kept many of the items beloved by customers of the original bakery but they have also expanded options, as one might expect from a pastry chef with 30'ish years experience. They have added additional cases to the interior and also expanded options for custom orders. All good for eats! PLAN TO BUY AND GO: Too small a space inside for seating and only enough outside for maybe a couple of seats, so this is a buy and take away format. ACCESSIBILITY: That I have posted 22 photos of this bakery since it opened in 2021 to now, it is evident that I am a fan of the offerings and also an avid supporter of mom-n-pop local businesses. But I am also a customer with disabilities and given the ADA will turn 36 years old this month, it is also an appropriate time to say why they seldom get my business anymore. It is all about the location's small parking lot with angled spaces and only one ADA compliant spot at the far end, near a hair salon, with often someone parking (illegally) in the striped access aisle. The only way for a wheelchair user to get up on to the walkway to get into the doors of the shops is through that access aisle and when it is blocked, so am I. For that reason, this good business has largely lost my business. Alas. CHECK HOURS BEFORE GOING: Usually open Thu - Sat from about 9A to 2P but sometimes closed if catering an out of town event so check before you go is a good idea.

    Bella Biscoteria feels like one of those hidden gems you almost don't want to tell people about…read morebecause you're afraid it'll get too busy. I genuinely have no idea how they produce so many baked goods out of such a tiny space. There's really no place to sit, so I think of this more as a pick-up-and-go Italian bakery rather than a café. They also do homemade cannolis (the pistachio and chocolate are both good), although my husband still gives the edge to Tony Cannoli's at Caffè Sorrento. I heard I completely missed out on their focaccia the day I went, which apparently is a mistake I need to correct immediately. I did try the croissants though, and honestly it's hard to find a truly good croissant around here without driving all the way to Janjou Pâtisserie -- and that place absolutely ruins you for croissants forever. One other thing worth noting: check their hours before you go because they're only open Thursday-Saturday. It's also a great little spot to grab packaged cookies or treats for gifts.

The clams were also not our favorite - we decided that we enjoy a wine base with Parmesan more than a tomato base. As for dinner, we enjoyed a Petit Tower, the salmon, and the Pork Carnitas, and for dessert, we enjoyed the coconut creme brûlée. All was satisfying. Our waitress was very connected and a friendly host. Our favorites were definitely the service, the bread platter, and the happy hour drinks!

I had requested this table so everything was smooth from calling in to getting in. My daughter and I arrived a little early to set up the table. We had flowers, party favors and decor we needed to set up. Our server helped us put the birthday cake in the fridge so it would stay cool. We got everything set up and just chilled till everyone showed up. I did forget the birthday candles I bought so I drove home to grab them. I missed the whole ordering process. I had my daughter order the pineapple hanger steak with no potatoes subbed for veggies for me. I left before they ordered and was only gone for about 25 minutes. My food had already been sitting for 10 minutes waiting for me before I got back. I was honestly surprised at how fast everything was prepared. I did enjoy my meal. It was really good. The hanger steak was tender and very savory. The shishito peppers were cooked and grilled perfectly. I got a total of 6 and only 1 of them was spicy, I'm ok with that! The asparagus was grilled to perfection. Not overly cooked but tender with a slight bite. The best way to have asparagus. I think this would have been a 5 star experience but this is where I'm so unhappy. I brought a cake in. I also brought in candles, a vintage cake plate and plates for us to eat the cake on. It was all planned out. Our server did not communicate with me at all about the cake once she pulled it out for me. One minute it was sitting in it's box on the servers table and the next minute there's a huge, tacky firework in it. Like, I had a pretty cake made with delicate candles to put in it to have this goofy firework in the middle of it. I didn't take one photo of the cake before she violated it with the stupid firework. If you plan on bringing in a cake that you don't want touch, tell your server. Food was great. The vibe was chill. But I will always have this stupid firework in the middle of my cake as a core memory of this joint.
