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!
