Sweets Box
Jenna W.

Came here early Saturday morning and ordered the sweets dozen box where they pick your donuts. It came with 2 bars, 4 glazed, 2 sprinkles, 2 cake, 1 old fashioned, and 1 cream cheese donut (plus free donut holes) for $16. I believe based on those specific donuts, you save money by ordering the random box as opposed to making the selection yourself with the same types of donuts. I was a little wary about dropping that much money just on donuts, but the quality of their donuts is unlike any I've ever had. These donuts don't leave that gross greasy residue in your mouth after you eat them (even when eating them cold!) and they're so light and airy. The toppings are also not too sweet, plus they have a great variety of flavors and types of donuts. The only downside is they're only open until 1 PM, otherwise we'd be here way more often!

Cute fall selections

I adore this little donut shop. It reminds me a lot of my childhood. No commercialized glitz...just damn good donuts. This is a small store on Franklin Ave, tucked behind a Dutch Bros in a little strip mall. There was 1 or 2 places to sit, but most everyone gets their donuts to go anyway. You must go early! I've been in at 7:00 am before and half of the days donuts were gone. They have tons of varieties and they're all carefully crafted. I love their cake donuts. Substantial, tangy and they come in tons of fun flavors like Red Velvet, Chocolate, Apple Pie and more. They also have some other fun pastries like sausage rolls and fritters. Sweet Sensations also does custom orders! We ordered a bunch of cute blue and green donuts for a baby sprinkle once. They throw in a handful of donut holes into any order so you can snack on tiny puffs of heaven on your way out the door and avoid any chocolate or powdered sugar mess on your mouth. Always thinking of the customer! ;)

We are newer to the area and have been searching for "THE" donut shop. This is it. We've tried lots of different places. My kids like cute donuts but I like delicious donuts and in our experience, it's hard to find a place where you can find cute donuts that taste good too. I got a chocolate cake donut, a blueberry donut and a maple bar. YUM. My kids got the rainbow and m&m donuts and demolished them. We went to a fancy shop in Boise and my kids didn't even finish the donuts. They looked awesome there but lacked real flavor and were very stale. These are the classic donuts I'm used to. The owner was SO nice! I mentioned that we had been looking for our new donut shop and she threw in a maple bar for us to try for free. She was super friendly and so sweet. We were able to eat inside (thank you!!!) and they had lots of napkins (like real ones, not the tissue paper ones lol) to help me clean up my messy kids. The inside was super clean. I also noticed the drive thru once I came in which we will definitely be utilizing in the future. All in all, great experience! Can't wait to come back here again soon!

These donuts were just okay. They weren't terrible but definitely not the best I've ever had. The donuts were soft but a lot of the donuts tasted straight up like oil. Their chocolate frosted donuts were terrible. I'm not sure how you can mess up chocolate but they did. The only donut I enjoyed was the cheesecake donut but honestly it wasn't enough cheesecake on top. I would choose Krispy Kreme over this place any day.

Best donuts this side of the valley

PHENOMENAL DONUTS - CLEAN STORE These are the best donuts on this side of the valley. They are soft, made fresh every day, not super oily and you don't feel guilty after eating three. Something they do is fill donuts fresh with the filling so the filled donut is not all soggy and squishy sitting there with the filling. I have tried the bavarian filling with chocolate and it is a great balance. Donut hole variety is a must have. They have filled donut holes which I have never seen before! There is also a glazed donut with a zig zag cream cinnamon icing that is a definite must try. It is family owned and they are very friendly. The store is clean but a bit sterile feeling.

Best apple fritters in Boise. The cinnamon rolls are also great, the sourdough version has plenty of icing and are delicious.

Best Apple fritter I've found in the valley. Only problem is they often run out, I guess others think they're good as well.

Ask the Community - Sweet Sensations

Do you have beignets?

I am sorry We do not

Do they makes kolaches?

Yes we do.

Do they have any gluten free options?

Unfortunately, we do not, no.

Are y'all open during the stay at home order?

Yes, We open everyday from 5:30 to 1:00 except Mondays. Thank you.

Is this business still open? I've called and no one answers. I went by during posted business hours and it was closed...?

The owner was battling serious cancer and their business hours were affected. I haven't been in recently but drove by a couple of days ago and saw a "GRAND OPEN" banner outside. Not sure if they are under new ownership or if the health challenges… 

Do they make fresh cream puffs?

Yes, they have cream puffs. They also have donut holes (super affordable!) that you can buy by the dozen. I can't seem to get away without getting 2-3 dozen.

I was just here on the 4th to grab some goodies for my husband. They had a fritter of the day…read moreSaturday and it was cherry. Now that it's Monday, I decided to head into Guru to grab an a fritter of the day. New week new flavor of fritter. The gentleman that helped me today was super nice! I asked him what the fruit flavor of the fritter was and I was told it's cherry again. I told him that I wanted to grab the fritter on Saturday till I found out it was cherry as well. That's when I was told it's more like flavor of the month vs. week. I'm determined to grab a fritter that my husband will like so we will just have to wait till August. We have tried fritters from every shop imaginable so I'm determined to try one from here. But today I grabbed another Hipsterberry, a seasalt chocolate glazed bar and a cereal of the day. I didn't get a chance to eat the Hipsterberry on Saturday so I will have some today! You can't go wrong with a classic chocolate bar with seasalt and a cinnamon toast crunch topped donut. All 3 donuts were killer good today! Fresh, soft and so flavorful! It's hard not to get one of every donut from this joint. They all look so good! My husband and I got to start our week off with some great treats from Guru. Looking forward to coming back and trying a different round of donuts. I might have started a new bad habit for my husband and I.

If you want to check out Guru Donuts, I'd suggest going early in the day. I made the mistake of…read moregoing after lunch for a sweet treat, so the selection was very limited. Despite this, I was able to find one that looked pretty good, so I tried the Alice in Wonderland. Most of Guru's donuts are made with potato flour instead of wheat flour, with the exception being the cake donuts. Within the potato flour group, they offer raised or vegan. The difference being the toppings -- the vegan ones have toppings that are, well, vegan. They also have a handful of gluten free donuts. My donut was pretty good, but I wish they would've offered to heat it up just for a few seconds, especially since I ate it in-house. The inside is pretty spacious with some interesting art. In addition to donuts, they offer avocado toast, two types of burritos and a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Overall, worth checking out especially if you're undecided between trying the donuts or more traditional breakfast items.

Although the exterior sign merely reads Donuts & Boba without a hint of the word "sensations,"…read moreyou're in the right place. And it's one of the donut shops that's so popular, they only make a limited daily batch. When that's sold out, they won't make more. So you have to get there early. Choosing from the few donuts that were left upon our arrival, we enjoyed the quality and creativity of the product at Sweet Sensations. The cream cheese donut was excellent. This isn't a place that will rival the best donuts in the U.S., but it's certainly an enjoyable and worthy morning stop. The interior is a little too modest and not updated at all. But don't let that scare you away.

I'm on a fruit tea journey so I stopped into Sweet Sensations to see what kind of goodies they…read morehave! Walking in, it's a smaller joint. It's very cute and girly! I love all the pastels and flowers everywhere. There's a beautiful display of all their donut options. We were instantly greeted by sweet lady. She guided us through the menu. The menu has quite a few options but it's rather small compared to other boba spots. We were given a free chocolate glazed donut while we were waiting for our drinks to be made. I thought it was really nice of the owner to give us a free treat! The donut was really soft and airy! It was on the dryer side but it was still a decent donut. I ordered the peach and mango clear tea today. It was pretty in color. You can taste the peach and mango in my drink. It's not as sweet as I'm used to but it was still good. There's a light amount of jellies on the bottom. I'm personally used to a bit more jellies in my drink but as a collective it was still tasty. I'm happy I ran into this cute venue. I'm hardly in this part of town but if I'm ever in these neck of the woods I'm definitely stopping by again. It's local, the owner is sweet and you're supporting a great local business.
