    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!

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

    The last time I had My Donuts, my husband's sales rep brought them into the shop for my husband and…read morehis co workers to enjoy. Luckily I was there that day and was able to snag a chocolate bar. I remember it being so good! I thought today was a good day for a sweet treat so I made my way in! My husband's request was an apple fritter if they had any. I came in later in the afternoon and surprisingly there were still quite a few donuts available. I was happy that there was quite a selection still. They all looked so good! Even the classic glazed looked tasty. After looking over the goodies, I decided on a half dozen of mixed donuts. The sweet lady behind the counter was so patient with me as I was looking and second guessing my choices. With the mixed variety you get 3 classic, 2 specialty and 1 extra fancy donut. I snagged a round glazed, a chocolate and maple bar, 2 apple fritters and a fancy donut with cream and strawberries on top. I was planning on giving 3 of the goodies to my in laws. I asked the sweet lady for an extra box and with no hesitation she grabbed it got me. I was able to get my goodies sorted. I dropped off the maple bar, an apple fritter and the cream and strawberry donut to my in laws. My father in law loves apple fritters and didn't hesitate to grab it from the box and claim it right away. 0 He enjoyed half of it and is saving the other half for later. Nothing but great things were said about his treat. I forgot to mention earlier that the sweet lady gave me two donut holes in my box. I snacked on those and mannnnn were they good! They were so soft and sweet. I just wanted a little something so it was perfect! My husband devoured his apple fritter. I didn't even get a bite! I'm happy he enjoyed it! I was recently at Krispy Kreme and honestly the donut I got tasted stale. Like it had been sitting out for more than a day. I only had 2 small donut holes and they blew Krispy Kreme out of the water, it was night and day. I'm happy I got to stop in today and grab some goodies. The donuts were amazing! The service was great! And I got to support a local business in my area! I look forward to coming back and grabbing more treats for my family/friends sometime soon.

    Tasty donuts, friendly service about sums it up. Interior is small with a few tables to sit at,…read moreeverything seemed clean and tidy if a bit spartan. On the morning we stopped in there weren't a lot of choices and judging by the size of the cases on the counter that's typical. We tried buttermilk, cream puff, strawberry frosted heart shaped donuts and a glazed croissant. My daughter rated the cream puff donut a solid 5 star! I give major props to that little glazed croissant- it was delicious but I also appreciate that it wasn't huge. I felt satisfied but not sickly full afterward. I tried the buttermilk later in the day and it wasn't okay, the frosted donut for a similar review from my daughter- like, solid food donuts but nothing we couldn't find at the local grocery store bakery. Worth the stop if you're in the immediate area, not a destination spot though.

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.

    Decent place in downtown Boise. Love the vibe!…read more I don't really eat doughnuts very often, but when I do, it's almost always an Old-fashioned doughnut. This is what I use as a comparison to other doughnuts. It's my baseline. This one was good, but not at the top. The outer crust was good, and the icing was the perfect amount of sweetness. The interior was just right. We also grabbed a cup of doughnut holes, which is where we struggled. They were overly sweet and fairly dry on the inside. We ended up throwing the rest out, unfortunately. My other baseline is an Apple Fritter, so if I give them a second chance, that will be my next choice!
