    Glazed holes for days... bite size goodies.
    Alex K.

    You know how I feel about this place. The donuts are exceptional. If you haven't tried this place, it's a must and bookmark it. Everything is always so fresh and made daily. Down to all the donuts and sandwiches. So many different meals to choose from. Not only your classic donuts but specialty ones are made daily as well as seasonal. Also have coffee drinks. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Your neighborhood spot where it's become family versus a business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Amazing donuts as always.

    Dozen and a half all fit in the box.

    Bought a dozen in a half donuts for the office. Came in before 5am since not many of the other donut shops are open on the way at that time. Donuts ended up fresh and full of all the right sweet flavors. The whole office loved the donuts with some saying it's the best. Given they aren't from the valley... Donuts just do it right in the 818. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spot is stellar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The guy I paid only wore a t-shirt. Was under 40 degrees outside. Must be from the east coast. Recommend! 5/5

    This place never disappoints! Donuts taste fresh, Fresh juice are delicious [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place always has customers so you know they're doing something right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even in the rain this place is packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The chicken club sandwich was great ! I also got the apple fritter and a mango pineapple slushy. Everything tasted amazing and fresh ! The service was great they were very patient with me as i tried to figure out the menu.

    I ordered 3 dozen baby shower themed donuts for my sisters baby shower. The donuts were perfect!!! Not only were they beautiful but they were also delicious!!! They were worth every penny! Service was also great. I forgot to get his name but he understood exactly what I wanted and exceeded my expectations. The donuts were ready on time and tasted super fresh. I cannot wait to order again!

    Ask the Community - Mama's Donuts

    What is the cost for a plain donut....and Apple Fritters?

    Can they make a large texas-sized donut with some decor on it? I want to use it in lieu of a birthday cake.

    Are the unicorn donuts custom made or are they available daily?

    Both. On the weekends they go fast.

    Is it made of white chocolate the glazing or just sugar glaze?

    How much do the donuts go for?

    Hello! Good day. How much is a blue glazed donut ? Per piece?

    1.50

    My sister insists there aren't any good donuts in NYC, so when I visit her, she wants me to bring a…read morebox of simple donuts from any Cambodian shop in LA. That's putting me on a mission to find the best donuts in the Valley. I usually go to Mama's Donuts when the craving hits, but since they often sell out early and close at 2 PM, I needed a solid backup. Enter Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys -- open until 9 PM. The shop looks like your typical, old-school donut spot: nothing fancy, just a straightforward and busy menu. I grabbed my go-to maple bar and an apple fritter around 7 PM. Both were delicious and tasted freshly made -- definitely worth getting again. Next time, I'll stop by earlier to see what other options they have. The total came to $4.75 for both donuts, which is reasonable. The only downside was the service -- I didn't get a thank you or much of a response at all after I paid. So don't come here expecting friendly vibes; come for the fresh, classic donuts.

Sandwiches are low price and filling; If timing works out, I love to get a sandwich for airport snacking, as cold airport sandwiches are pretty expensive along with their other food options. Highly recommend especially if you're on your way to the airport, as they are close by Van Nuys Flyaway parking lot. The corner plaza is pretty run down and has questionable people hanging out, BUT this donut shop is still worth the visit.

    Really like this little mom n pop local donut shop…read more So far I've enjoyed every donut I've tried (except for the cinnamon crumble I think it was). I really love their chocolate donuts and their Nutella one. Yum. I also love how they have so many other offerings from cold bottled beverages, to sandwiches, boxed up cut fruit and even little bags of chips. I wish they'd try introducing some asian inspired beverages like boba and milk tea, that would be amazing. The owners are incredibly nice and the store was kept very clean and organized. Will be back again! =)

The mother always treats me like her son and tells me that I need to eat more because I'm too skinny and slips in a couple donut holes in my bag free of charge and gives me a wink. This is the true definition of neighborly love and hometown goodness. They have a vast range of donuts and don't sleep on their bagels. If you ask, they'll make you an awesome breakfast sandwich fully customizable. I'm an everything bagel toasted twice with ham, egg and onion. Also another recommendation would be any of their bear claws and turnovers (puff pastry with jam filling). Added plus are the hours, I'm an early bird type so getting a breakfast sandwich at 4:00 am while being greeted with the best smile is a win in my book all day long. The specialty donuts can sell out so if you're a maple bacon type person show up before noon. They have plenty of drink options as well. From juices to healthy drinks and energy drinks and coffees. There's table seating if you choose to dine in too. Parking has never been an issue because there's the lot out front and a garage below if the lot is full. I've never had to park down in the garage.
