Donut Star

Okay ! So this round I had higher expectations and the donuts are great don’t get me wrong. I ticked off a star because it smelled like smoke. Not sure what from but somewhat disruptive entering the shop.
This shouldn’t stop you from coming here… Just a change in my donut store preference due to lack of innovation and environment.

If I’ve seen Cockroaches once in the doughnut case if seen it at least twice. Makes you think about the rest of the business!

Apple fritters are perfect here, my old man gets them every Sunday morning and yes its cash only.
Yes, it could be cleaner but idc when those things are that yummy, get in and get out and eat them at home if you aren’t cozy, doesn’t bother me at all

Our experience was about a 3 ½ star rating at Donut Star. It was a bit dirty & the service was alright. The donuts were fresh but they just weren’t the greatest donuts ever as some people were saying. I feel like the lady working there could be a bit nicer. Also, the selection of donuts was a little bit small. There were most people’s favorites though. That’s why I gave Donut Star three stars.

My family loves these donuts. They are so good and fresh. The couple that runs this shop are very nice. You have to try the doughnuts here!

8:45 AM Saturday morning, only sad thing was 4 donut holes left. the lady says 7/7:30 AM is usually the busier time on weekdays, I think. Anyway, been going here since I was a child, and it is one of the reasons why I got so many cavities. Worth it. The dough, size, and sweetness are all spot on, and I’ve never tried donuts elsewhere that taste the same. keep doing what you’re doing, lady, you bring so much donut joy to our lives. props

The doughnuts were okay, but the store was kind of dirty, and there were bugs in the display were the doughnuts were so who knows if they’ve been all over them. Don’t recommend this place.

This place had great reviews but I was kind of meh about it. The donuts were alright but I supposed 7am on a Saturday was a little too early because they only had about half of the donuts they said they normally do because they were running behind that morning on making them. I of course am glad they do make them fresh every morning and the ones we got were delicious.
I’m just disappointed they didn’t have that many choices. Ah well, always next time.
Cash only by the way :)

This place should be banned. It is crack with a hole in it. I have eaten thousands of donuts in my 40+ years… but none as good as this. No joke. It has ruined my palate for donuts. I can no longer eat anything from supermarkets or chains without a profound sense of disappointment and regret.
The couple running Donut Star have been making donuts for decades. I bring a dozen to work in RB every week or two, and have people chase me around to pay for their consumption. I have coworkers who have driven with their family from Chula Vista to buy their donuts on the weekend.
Bring your cash… no plastic here. Donut Star is part of my monthly financial planning… I schedule cash ATM withdrawals around when I have cravings. It is that good.
Glazed…best I’ve had. Glazed buttermilk bar… incredible. Choc raised… incredible.
Donut Star makes me consider changing my name from Don to Donut.

Been coming here since I was a little boy; it was probably my second favorite besides Toys ‘R Us. Their donuts aren’t too sugary and are very light & fluffy. The staff are nice, I remember once even receiving some free donuts. They usually run low by closing, so get here early to enjoy these very fresh donuts. Their prices are not bad for the sizes you get, especially compared to the chains. The best are the original glazed, the apple fritter, and the chocolate cake donuts.

These are the best raised/​glazed donuts you will ever eat! Seriously, don’t judge this place on curb appeal, because you will be happily surprised. Peterson’s grease laden, heavy donuts don’t have anything on these pillowy, enormous rings of joy. NOM! And, yes, don’t forget your cash.

Great and fresh. Been there 3 times in the last couple months and the trays were full each time. The donut lady is nice too! Good prices as well. Worth the drive as I live right by Savoy donuts which I have NEVER seen open. And Peterson’s giant tasteless donuts are not to my liking. This place is great.

I’m not a huge donut person, they all kind of taste the same to me, but these were definitely tastier than most. And bigger too! Fresh, huge, and yummy– it’s a win win win! Highly recommend this place for a donut fix.

I’m a big fan of Savoy Donuts in Esco, but this place does donuts right as well. I needed to get a half dozen donuts for guests at home on a Sunday and my regular spot is closed on Sundays, so I was in search of another place that wasn’t terrible. This place can be my new Sunday donut shop!
The raised donuts were delicious, and they’ve got a good variety of selections available. I went during/​after the church rush hour, and they still had every donut I could want! Chocolate raised? They’ve got it. Old Fashioned with maple? Yup. Donut herpes your thing? They’ve got them in every color and flavor I’ve seen. This is definitely a place worth a shot.
PS — Bring cash-​money, homie. They don’t take cards and don’t take kindly to being asked about it.

Despite the quickly vanishing selection, this little donut shop ranks tops for the area! Their recipe’s provides for a very satisfying donut regardless of the kind you choose.
The kids and I will be the next set of regulars to frequent this tasty little shop! :)

So good and really cheap.
Most donuts are around $ 0.90 a piece and feel free to ask the friendly lady who works there to fill your donut with delicious custard. This place is beyond good value for money.
Be sure to get there early on the weekends as they sell out quick!
Cash only

How do they make those HUGH glazed donuts? It really is the best that I’ve ever had!!! I’d walk a 1000 miles for some of Donut Star’s glazed donuts (with my Starbucks Caramel Macchiator with extra Whip!!! Parking is pretty tight, but, you won’t go wrong in picking up a dozen or two. I think they are so good, that they run of of donuts sometimes! AWESOME!

Best. Donuts. Evar.
We come here every Sunday, and Sue the donut lady remembers our order each time, and even saves me my special donut if I’m a little late coming in and she’s fixing to sell out. You can’t beat that kind of recognition and service. (my running joke is that if I ever drop dead, the donut lady would report me missing before my friends and family do!)
The apple fritter is absolutely sublime, the raised-​glazed are big and poofy, the donut holes are light and wonderful (even better if they’re hot … ah, donutty bliss), the old-​fashioneds have nice big crunchy frostingy edges to them … everything I’ve tried here is good.
They accept cash only (there’s an ATM at the Circle K in the same parking lot) and the parking can sometimes be a little dodgy, but it’s worth the effort. Get here early before the good ones run out!

OK, kinda of hard to find and tucked in a corner. You must drive through gas station (Circle K) to get to shop and parking can be tricky. If busy, you might want to park over by gas station for your vehicle’s safety sake and walk to the shop! Best advice — turn at station and look for the last building. Probably getting gas at the same time wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Nice lady, typical donut, fresh and tasty Besides getting to Donut Star and the logiistical challenge, donuts are decent, need to get their early in the a.m. for best selection as they don’t make a huge amount each morning!

Raised donuts are light and delicious.
— Owner has supernatural donut powers. I’m pointing all over the place in the donut case, she’s kinda looking off to the side, but she got everything right!
— Cash Only, hey it’s a donut shop.
— Be aware that you better mind your traffic manners while entering exiting this strip mall by the 15. Very popular place for police to pull people over.
— Busy at 8:30AM but still had a nice selection.
