    A gem in our neighborhood. We have been coming here for 26 years. Consistently great donuts. I like to walk here, but there is olenty of parking, easy access. Give this family business your support

    Nice To go box

    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!

    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.

    Yikes better pics tomorrow

    Do(go)nuts! Had to stop and get some. Can't say no to donuts. Plenty to choose from and the 3 for one dollar donut ends with cream on top- ooh la la!! Shared with Juan. Bought half a dozen of mixed donuts... The donuts were yummy!! Still have 4 more to go :) Go here, after you get some street tacos from a food truck behind the shop. Fabulous Saturday it is!!

    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!

    One cinnamon roll, one apple bear claw and some donut holes..

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.

    Maple Bar Rating 8.3/10…read more I do love me a good maple bar-it's my weakness-it's actually the only donut I will eat-if a boss or a co-worker brings in a box of donuts to work and someone beat me to the maple bar that day-guess what?...No donut for me that day.That being said,when I see a donut shop and I have some free time,I will make a quick stop-That happened today when I was out running errands and I saw this donut shop in Natomas was still open. I walked in and saw so many donuts on display but eventually locked in on my maple bar-the employee took a few minutes to come up front,which as a Yelper I didn't mind as it gave me time to snap a few pics of their offerings.Once she took my order of 2 maple bars,she charged me $5.50 for 2 maple bars,which's seems pricey but oh well-in the past I've enjoyed the maple bars here-so whatever. Like I mentioned I do like the maple bars here,they are so light and not overly greasy-they are sweet but they are supposed to be,they are a maple bars-I guess what I like about the maple bars here is I don't feel like crud after eating them here like I do at some other shops,they are delicious,light and sweet-always hit the spot-though a bit pricey. In closing-if u ever find yourself in Natomas and want to have a maple bar or whatever other type of donut that floats your boat that day-I'd recommend stopping here-they are pretty good. PS-I noticed the sign no longer says Natomas Donuts-it now says PGA Donuts-so not 100% sure what's happening at this location-but the maple bars recipe has stayed the same.

From the moment you walk in, you get that welcoming, neighborhood feel--the kind of place where the staff remember your usual order and greet you like a regular. That level of service really adds to the community vibe. The doughnuts here are anything but ordinary. They're flavorful, creative, and reasonably priced, with options that go far beyond the basics. Whether you're craving something sweet or leaning toward savory, there's truly something for everyone in the family. And yes--vegan options are available, which makes this spot even more inclusive. One of the underrated perks is their rewards program, which is perfect if you're ordering for large meetings, family gatherings, or just fueling your regular breakfast routine. And if you know, you know--star bread lovers will be very happy here. Overall, this is the kind of place that turns a simple doughnut run into an experience worth repeating. Definitely a gem worth supporting!

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.

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.
