Apple fritter review #16 Glaze: Light, in a good way. Four stars. Outside: Lightly crispy, I dig it. Four stars. Inside: So soft and fluffy! Five stars. Filling: Where is it? Seriously there's barely any. I mean it tastes good overall but there should be more filling, two stars. Huge fritter! Tastes good despite lack of filling. Four stars. read more

I came in one day and ordered the turkey and cheese croissant. It had a weird aftertaste, and the does seemed like it was not cooked all the way or something. It was very gooey, and it had to off taste to it. I've had their donuts which are delicious . Customer service is pretty good. The Mexican lady in the front sometimes gets my order wrong but it's probably just the language barrier. read more

We have been going there for decades. It was our go-to donut shop. Donuts were great. But recently it has changed. The donuts are stale. Our last time there the shop didn't smell like donuts, as though they weren't made there. They even looked stale. After a few visits of donut duds, we're sad to say our Donut Star days are past. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Always happy and helpful. As for the new owners. They are even nicer. Very helpful. Was greeted and helped by a gorgeous woman named Sarai. The sandwich was I even came back the next day to get another lol. Highly recommend coming here for breakfast or your donut cravings. 10/10 ambiance. Right on the corner of howe and el camino avenue.

The apple fritters are to die for. The selections in general are very high quality and reasonably priced, but the friendly service is the icing on the cake. My elderly folks don't get out and about much but they called two days in advance to place an order and Donut Star was happy to accept that order without payment in advance and have it fresh and ready for them several days later. I thought that was just so thoughtful and such an example of good service. I stop be whenever I am in the area. Definitely recommend! read more

My favorite donut shop in Sac! Donut Star has the freshest classic donuts in town - you can smell it right when you enter the store. Make sure you come early because a lot of donuts are really popular and the store gets busy around rush hour. I always get a glazed twist and an old fashioned, but their croissant sandwiches and donut holes are to die for! The dough is light and fluffy; you can telltale why were baked fresh with quality ingredients the day of, unlike some other donuts I've had that can be chewy. You get a lot of bang for your buck too - their cinnamon rolls and bear claws are HUGE - try spending 2$ at any other donut shop and see what you can get nowadays. This place has been in business for years and it's evident after a few donuts why this place is a west sac institution! read more

Been going here for years. Last two times I notice it was be ran by a younger group of people and asked if they bought the shop. The young lady at the counter said it was her aunt and she took it over. let me tell you it was a bad move. Donuts are like hockey pucks. Like a week old. I went one day and got donuts for work and was highly disappointed and boss went the next week and it was the same. Refuse to go back and spend money on old gross donuts. Wish the aunt can come taste the donuts cause it is a disaster. They will loose serious business if this continues. It is very disappointing i have to write this review cause I liked this place. read more

I was really craving a donut but it was already after 4pm when pretty much majority of donut shops close for the day. So I yelped and found Donut Star. Not in the nicest looking area literally a hole in the wall type shop in the middle of a big parking lot. I didn't think the apple fritter and chocolate glazed donut I got were that good. It was just okay. Not terrible but wouldn't go out of my way for it again. Only pros are the store hours are until late I think like 9pm, theres a ton of parking, and the donuts are cheap. read more

Updating my review from 2 years ago. Donuts were good not the best but good. I like this place because it's one of the few places that is opened till later in evening that I can go to after work as most bakeries close at 2-3pm. I like that they have a great variety of donuts & their prices are reasonable. The employees which look like business owners are also friendly. The reason why I'm deducting a star is because they have big windows with blinds open in which the sun is directly hitting the donuts. Being summer it gets hot in Sacramento so those blinds should be kept closed the donuts that have frosting which most do where melted that doesn't look appetizing. Also there was a fly in there which disgusted me since it was flying around the donuts that should be taken care of easily with a fly swat though. Thank you. read more

I've been going to this donut shop more often. I've noticed the workers there aren't very friendly . It was a busy day I walked in stood in line not a single worker said hello. They are only friendly to people they know. Whenever I do a big order they add extra again it depends. The big lady that works there charged people a different amount because I ordered 2 dozens last time it was a different price. I went in today she charged me more. Their customer service depends on the people they know. Why not treat everyone the same. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Their senorita bread is probably my favorite item at this bakery-my daughter introduced them to me one day and I've been hooked ever since-they r very enjoyable especially when eaten warm. They also feature a plethora of visually pleasing donuts-that I generally consider pretty good overall,with some much better than others-my favorite tend to be the cereal based donuts they have at this bakery. Their savory selection of bakery items,I generally skip but not due to them being any less yummy but usually only because when I visit here,I almost always go for the sweet stuff primarily-that being said their Jalapeño & Cheese "kolache" is off the hook-it's so good-the ham and cheese and pepperoni and cheese versions rock as well.We can't forget about their empanadas or lumpia-it's really great stuff they are serving at this bakery. This particular trip was unique in that I had been recommended this app called "TooGoodToGo" by fellow Yelp Elite All-Star Malikah H. & on this app I saw they were offering "surprise bags" for $5.99 to be picked up between 630p-7p-so I figured I'd try it out. When I arrived and showed the worker my order,she promptly walked to the back and then handed me a bag that was filled with unknown goodies.I opened the bag and inside were a random 6 of their best donut offerings-I was pretty thrilled considering these donuts usually run from $3-$4 each-so to get 6 of them for $5.99 felt like a solid deal. What I really liked about this "surprise bags" was it gave me the opportunity to try out flavors in their bakery I never would've tried on my own at a deeply discounted price-I loved the opportunity to do this and look forward to trying it again sometime. In closing-this bakery is pretty great and the surprise bag gives me another reason to love this bakery-not that I needed another reason-I consider myself a Bad Bakers loyalist and nothing has changed that for me-go ahead and try em out-they rock. PS-They do have a rewards program-so be sure to sign up for this when you go to Bad Bakers.

We grabbed the original glazed pack of 12, and they were absolutely delicious--fresh, airy, and exactly what you want in a classic glazed donut. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but don't let a line deter you. The service was steady, and once we took that first bite, we felt it was totally worth it. If you're planning a "museum day" in Sacramento, this is a great, easy stop to keep the energy up for all that walking!

First impression, so cute! As an Alicw in wonderland fan, I loved the name! We were passing by…read morewhile going to the train museum. I decided to try some spiked doughnut holes! Amazing!!!! I felt them a little on the pricer side. 7$ for 8 doughnut holes but honestly, the price was worth it for those hot, melt in your mouth fresh doughnuts! Better than Krispy Kreme!The staff was super nice and gave me some cool stickers! I can't wait to go back again! Highly recommended!

While in Sac for cousin wedding we stopped by BAD Bakers one day cause in the area. My cousin raves…read moreabout the Staxx bread. She said had on previous trips to Sac. 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.

Wow, small donut shop huge flavor and exceptionally good espresso…read more We ended up getting a cinnamon twist a strawberry and cream filled doughnut for my mom a old-fashioned maple and a maple bar along with two croissant sandwiches one with egg, bacon and cheese and one with egg and cheese The only thing I did not like was the American cheese and the croissant make sure you ask what kind of cheese they have. I'm not sure if that's all they serve, but the egg was delicious along with the croissant which was baked here. Five stars all day long excellent I got a flat white although she called it a latte with less milk, but it's delicious

Stopped by on my way to work since my manager asked me to grab a box of donuts for the team. I had…read moreto reroute my GPS and this was the closest donut spot from where I was on the road. I saw it had 4.8 stars so thought it must be good. The parking lot had decent parking and it is right next to an Asian restaurant and Dutch Bros. It's also located on a busy road so you can't miss it when driving by. When I got inside, I saw the space inside was limited and there was a line so some folks had to be outside until the people who ordered have left. My first thought was that the fact that there is a line means that this place must be good! I looked at the menu and noticed they have a good amount of options to choose from other than donuts. I saw they had boba drinks, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, etc. I ended up ordering 1 dozen and then 3 extra donuts for a total of 15 donuts. The prices were pretty fair compared to other donut shops. When I brought the box of donuts to my office, I noticed that not only did they put the dozen donuts in the box but they also added a few donuts holes in there as well so that was a nice touch.
