    I need to begin this review with a huge THANK YOU to our wondeful community manager Michelle for these fantastic donuts l, and what an honor it is to be named Reviewer of the Year! Okay so, earlier in the year I hit Guru (the DT location) hard in the gut. Each visit after the other was worst. And while I still can't provide a 5 star review I can gladly say this experience wasn't bad at all. Michelle was so sweet, and let me pick out which donuts I wanted. I love seasonal, limited edition items, so I chose Peppermint Hot Chocolate (raised ring topped with chocolate, crushed peppermint bits, and homemade marshmallows by Creekside Mallow Co), Eggnog Cheesecake (bismark covered in graham cracker crumbles, dusted nutmeg, house made cheesecake eggnog filling), and an old fashioned Boston Cream. Right off the bat, A+ for dispaly. These donuts are so pretty! I have to give Guru praise for always excelling in beautiful presentation. I LOVE cream filled donuts so right away I ate the Eggnog Cheesecake. Guru's Instagram states that it is "stuffed to the brim with filling," however I find that misleading. There wasn't much filling - the picture included is a couple bits in. I didn't find any filling until halfway done. Nonetheless it was SO. EFFING. GOOD. If there is any donut I'd return to Guru for, this is it. As the for Peppermint Choc, I saved that one to accompany my morning coffee the next day. It stayed surprisingly fresh and tasted fantastic. I didn't get to try the Boston Cream because while I was busy at a photo shoot with the limited edition guys, he was chowing it down. *glares at him with malicious intent burning inside* All around, I am so happy I can finally say I had a good experience with Boise's most famous donut stop. I'm still dreaming about that Eggnog Cheesecake, might have to make a donut run soon...

    Food - donuts were delicious! Yes they are priced more than your normal donut, but I think it's worth it! Service - friendly service each time we've been here. Ambiance - friendly family vibe. Good music in the background! Love the upstairs! Super cute!

    Could not ask for a better donut AND coffee AND tea AND sandwiches AND toast & more! All locally sourced, locally made, served with care. But who are we kidding- they had me at GLUTEN FREE donuts- num num num ! I highly recommend you swing by the Eagle location in person, via pickup or via delivery like I just did for my bday week. Woohoo quality donuts for all!

    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!

    Chocolate Peppermint December special.

    Finally made it in to Eagles Guru. I think this location is nicer than Boises. I like the upstairs area and that there is seating downstairs. I feel like Boise is pretty slow but this one moved faster for us. My daughter loves their healthy homer donut. I tried their humongous peppermint chocolate donut which is a December special. I loved it but my husband wasn't a fan. My husband has picked up donuts here for Mother's Day and he has mentioned he likes this location better as well.

    Half dozen
    Ridz D.

    I'd heard a lot of great things about Guru donuts so I wanted to give it a try now that there's a location in Eagle. Presentation wise- they look cute! The donut shop looks nice and clean and the donuts are all presented well. Taste- I have never been so disappointed in a donut. They had the density of bagels that had been frosted and disguised as a donut. I tried both cake donuts and fried donuts and was disappointed with both. I think the yeast donuts should be much airier and softer. Price- I feel like I got scammed. I wanted to get the classic half dozen which was about 13 dollars. The lady behind the counter kept mentioning that she didn't have enough for that but I could just pick out individual donuts for my box. My total was 19 dollars... when the specialty half dozen is only about 16-17. I asked her why and she said it's because 2 of the donuts I picked were specialty donuts. Somehow I ended up paying more than that. All in all, I'm not sure if it was a bad batch but I would advise against going in again. The donuts have been sitting on the table for days at this point and no one wants another bite.

    Alice and Rocky Road

    Donut. Donut. Donut. Yeah I was singing it as I typed it. I'm not the first or the last who will sing praises of Guru. This is only my second time eating their donuts. I forget they are in Eagle. Now that the movie theater is open again, I stopped in before my show and grabbed a couple to share with my family I was meeting. They hadn't had them. They loved them as much as I do. I'm a sucker for anything Alice in Wonderland, hence ordering this delicious donut with sprinkles on top of vanilla frosting. It was magical. We followed the Alice with the Rocky Road. I am a chocolate fan but honestly I was surprised how much in preferred that Alice donut! Ultimately though...you can't go wrong at Guru!!

    Been eating Guru donuts for many years and was kind of glad I had to drive downtown to get them since that meant I wouldn't eat them every day. Then they opened a location in Eagle.... Doh!!! Love their vegan options. The Hipsterberry is legendary and the Alice in Wonderland is also a favorite. They also change their menu regularly to bring out different seasonal donuts. I haven't read the other reviews to see what people are complaining about, but Guru is a long-time favorite of mine and I love the new location. Yeah, they're more expensive than Winco donuts but they're at a while different level.

    Do you have a party space for a kids birthday?

    I don't think they have a dedicated child specific space- but it's open enough space I think could wrk for very small grp- or if u can wait for better weather- lots of wonderful seating on outside of building

    Are there gluten free and dairy free options?

    We have both gluten friendly and vegan options!

They have plenty of seating and even have a lovely fire feature you can sit by if you so choose. Plus, in finer weather, there is outdoor seating as well. Bonus reasons for fandom: They serve BOTH a Salted Caramel Mocha and a Mexican Mocha! How to choose? Both are like Autumn in a cup. They have some particularly tasty looking cinnamon rolls (I was just there for coffee but would definitely like to give the cinnamon rolls a try next time!).

The display cases had a great variety so I know sticking to my plan was going to be challenging. Grabbing a couple things and go sure was hard! They had some specialty donuts on display and man did they look killer! I didn't know what they were specifically but they looked delicious! All of them nicely decorated and garnished. But, with much restraint, I got a big apple fritter for my husband and some donut holes for the grandmas. My mom didn't let me grandma have any donut holes so I had to take one for the team and enjoy them for her. They were so good! They were soft and tasty. Every donut hole was nicely glazed. It's amazing you can polish off 7 donut holes and not realize that you had that many. They are so dainty that you don't realize how fast you're eating them. Each one was great! The gal that worked today was really sweet. I did take a bite of my husband's apple fritter and it was tasty as well! My husband also enjoyed it. My other grandma enjoyed her donut holes. She too didn't have a beard time eating 7 of them. I'm happy I stopped in today. Looking forward to coming back and grabbing more treats real soon.

The opening lyric of a England Dan & John Ford Coley tune…read morepopped into my head as my husband and I entered Mojo's this morning to get an Americano and a donut to share at a place where we could hear each other to talk about something important. The service (thanks to Riggen) was as sparkling as the donut case and interior of the shop is clean and although we planned to share a donut, we found much to our surprise that they make cinnamon rolls too. Have they always and we just didn't notice? Regardless, today one of those was our choice. My 100% Italian heritage husband who grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn never has quite warmed up to cinnamon rolls, a staple of my WASP Portland-Seattle upbringing so it is usual that if we order one to share then I will get the lion's share. But as we sipped our Americano's and enjoyed this one, I nearly had to stab his hand with my plastic fork to keep him from eating some of my half. Another great surprise on this visit was their donut holes, offered in a bag and little clear container, made with their sour cream cake donut batter! Samples were offered on the counter and SO good that I thought about picking up a container before we left but a woman came in while we were eating and sipping, tasted the sample and bought the bag and every one of the six or seven containers of them to take away with her. Yes, they are that good. Other details in my previous review comments from 2023. If you want donuts, cinnamon rolls, expertly made hot Americano and with warm service in a sparkling space playing of-the-day FM music at the just right level to know it is there but no so much as to compete with conversation this is the place. PS - ice cream by the scoop or pint or in milkshakes available too.

    To say I was disappointed would be an understatement of the year…read more I went in last night to scope the bakery offerings. I saw empty trays of butter croissants, palmiers, and chocolate croissants. The prices compared to what is being offered in Boise was less expensive so it seemed like Paris Banh Mi sold out of these items. I gathered my daughter and my French mom the next morning to get to Paris Banh Mi at their opening to only find that those empty trays from the night before were still empty. I walked up to the young man at the cashier and asked where were all the croissants, palmiers, and chocolate croissants. He tells me, matter of factly, that what they have is out on display. To be clear, what was out on display was two or three offerings of bakery goods that didn't look fresh or even appetizing. If you're going to be a French bakery and have trays with the words of Croissants, Palmiers, and others then stock it OR Remove them as it is false advertising. Matter of fact, take out the Eiffel Tower by the front door while you're at it. There's NOTHING FRENCH or PARIS related here. I will never come back. It was embarrassing experience.

Noticed they used iceberg lettuce and could use more traditional herbs such as mint and a different type of lettuce. Felt like there was more iceberg lettuce than the actual protein and noodles.
