Ham cheese and jalapeño croissant
Joe V.

Best donuts, croissants, and breakfast sandwiches around! I've tried them all! It's funny how people tell me how great their donut store is by them and will bring me donuts from other towns and I'm like I just have to go down the street lol I don't think anything compares. I've been to Crispys in San Marcos and Petersen's in Escondido. This is great for your old-fashioned donut shop vibes at a great price. I always got donut holes, a buttermilk, the ham and cheese croissants, and basically change up one extra donut every week and I'm always happy and coming back.

Delicious donuts and breakfast sandwiches. The owners are super nice and very reasonable prices. They have a great selection of donuts. They all looked yummy.

Devils Food with Sprinkles

I love donuts so when I had a hankering I had to stop at Donut Star, especially since they had a 4 1/2 star rating on Yelp. As we entered we were greeted by a friendly "hello" by the young lady behind the counter. She was friendly and polite as she took our orders. Donuts were fresh and fluffy and the coffee was hot. The devils food donut my wife got had a nice crunch to it, indicating fried perfection! My maple bar was light and mapley....if that's a word. The inside of the shop was clean and tidy. As we left we heard a warm "thank you" from a man in the back, I'm assuming the owner. A good spot to visit if you crave tasty donuts!

Such a joyous family business!!

What a delightful family and delicious breakfast sandwich and donuts!! We got the bagel with ham, egg and cheese soooo good! And among the best buttermilk bars and apple fritters ever!

Well I was Craving some Delicious Donuts and I arrived around 11:30am and This donut Shop was already ready to close shop !! What !! Where are all the donuts !! Looking at there displays and peeking inside the shop there were no Donuts and they want people to come here and there were no selection of donuts !! So I was thinking where else to go for some donuts !! But I suggest you might have to come to this Donuts Shop early or you will miss out like me !! But if your looking to bring in business !! Don't start to close shop that early !! And always keep you donuts displays full !! Well if I happen to be in Escondido and It is early I might think about coming back and hopefully they keep it stocked up on Donuts !!

Amazing breakfast sandwiches and I'm a big fan if their glazed cinnamon donuts! Plus they are really really nice and that's huge in my book.

Absolutely phenomenal and my new favorite donut shop! I came in at 10 AM on a Friday and they had…read moreplenty of selection of all my favorite kinds of donuts. The cashier let me know that the apple fritters I was looking at were fresh out of the oven and still warm, so I had to try those and they were the best apple fritters I've ever had! (Fresh is always better, of course). But we also tried their blueberry cake donuts, maple bars, glazed old fashions, and a few others and all were very soft, luscious, and just a perfect version of that type of donut. I have high standards for baked goods and it only took touching one of their classic sugar covered donuts and feeling just how pillowy soft it was to know they have an amazing rise and fantastic quality. I will be returning here from now on for all my donuts!! The shop is cute inside too. They have small tables for eating your purchase afterwards and offer coffee and tea. It doesn't feel like you're in the way here and the service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. No critiques whatsoever!

I would like more transparency. Please label the over a day old, dry donuts as such and maybe not…read moresell them at Full price. Boyfriend surprised me with donuts, so sweet. Unfortunately, his favorite, the Buttermilk Bar and Powdered Sugar were TOO DRY to even eat. We threw them in the trash. The Boston Cream was really good however. We had tried Nory's once before, he thought that he would give them a 2nd try. Waste of money.
