Today I wanted to try someplace new ….the donuts are good. customer service is very poor. The woman that works there is not nice and does not make you feel like you want it come back again. I know I will not go back 🀬

I got two dozen donuts this morning with great customer service. Everyone at my job function absolutely loved the flavor and the quality of all of the donuts! Everyone is asking me where I got them and I was soo excited to tell everyone about this place!!

If you need a good pick me up, this is the place to go. The selection of mouth watering donuts was a lot to process. There is definitely something for everyone. The owner is great she has an amazing life story. She has been at this location taking good care of the locals looking for great snacks.

This is the perfect little mom and pop donut shop. They have an excellent variety of well made donuts, pastries, muffins, and croissants. Their donut holes are generously sized and basically melt in your mouth. They are quite dangerous. Just keep your hands off my regular french crullers. They run out fast.

You know you have a problem when you have visited every donut shop in the general vicinity of your drive to work so you actually have to go out of your way to try a new one.This is how I ended up here.Its not really out of the way, but its located in a neighborhood I dont find myself wanting to hangout in.I came in around 7:30am on a weekday and there was a line out the door! I knew I was in the right place. Fortunately the line moved quickly and I was in and out of there in only a few minutes.$5.00 debit card minimum. Luckily I had cash.I ordered a Glazed Raised Donut and a Chocolate Bar which came to $2.20. Both were really fresh and had great flavor. I liked both the glazed and chocolate frostings and thought they had good consistency. I would get them again.They didnt really have any unique flavors, but they did have some glazed and chocolate twists which looked good as well as some croissants and pastries I would want to try which may keep me coming next back.Service was minimal. The lady behind the counter said I was next, picked out my donuts, took my money and was off to help the next customer. I wasnt really expecting anything more, but it would have been nice.The parking lot is huge. You wont have any troubles.

Donut Star has by far the best donuts in Sacramento. I’ve always been able to get my favorite donuts no matter what time of day it is. They are always fresh and sometimes still warm. I recommend this place to everyone who asks where they can get a great donut!

Donuts here are delicious. Great variety. I loved the donuts BUT the woman assisting me wasnt friendly at all. As a matter of fact, a customer was the one who was super nice to me while telling me how good the donuts were. As I picked out my donuts and was ready to pay, the lady helping me still wasnt friendly and acted as if I was bothering her. For that reason, I wont be returning.

I just got home from visiting this shop and I found mold on my scone!! I got 2 donuts and one of their pineapple scones and there was a patch of fuzzy mold on the bottom of the scone! The people were super friendly but this is a serious health code violation!! The donuts didnt have any visible issues but I wouldnt trust anything from this shop because its clear they arent rotating or checking their inventory.

Review β„–17

Very rude and disrespectful. I was told to get to the back of the line after I had already been standing there for almost 5 mins. I feel like I was targeted because of my race and I was the only black person in there. She helped the lady that was standing in front of me but wanted me to get behind 5 people who came in after me. She also checked my $50 after the cashier had already put it through her bill scanner, which the cashier did not ask her to do. I work too hard to have to go around passing counterfeit money. My family and I will not be returning.

Me and my bf didnt think this place was that great. They werent super fresh, and the whipped cream donut was yucky tasted like stale cool whip.. The glazed one was alright tho. The prices are cheap, but the lady that rung me up was kinda rude and not thankful for my business even tho I was nice to her and even bought 6 donuts. Location isnt that great either.

I’m not gonna lie, I usualy only leave reviews when the service is horrible, so I thought I’d leave a good one for a change. This is hands down the best donut shop I’ve ever been to in my life!

Best damn donuts ever. No joke. The older Asian lady is so nice and she tries hella hard to move everyone along as fast as she can. I wish my favorite donut wasnt covered in the liquid sugar but just the regular granulated one. But they have a glacier mocha drink. Sooooooo goood!!

Review for Apple Fritter only.At a $1.95, not to shabby. Frosting slightly over done masking the tasty apple chunks inside. Softer than a typical fritter, I feel it could cook a little longer for a slightly better crisp. It’s a solid size but lacks the density making a lighter than you would think. Overall, it’s not a bad AF, I would make the stop again if I was in the neighborhood but nothing to make a crosstown trip for.

I was pretty surprised at how good the donuts were the last time I went to Donut Star. Also, the customer service was excellent. They were a little bit more busy than my taste, but the line went fairly quick. And the nice old lady threw in some extra free donut holes for the wait, which in fact wasnt too terribly long of a wait in the 1st place.

The best home made so fresh and delicious price is perfect for what you get in multiples. The owner is beautiful kind and generous. I look forward to my days off from work, thats the first place I go when getting up in the mornings. And talk about verity and big sizes of donuts, I am here to tell yoU go and make that tummy happy. I have tried a couple of different places and its either heartburn or over charged and not enough verity worst of all they dont give you time to pick out what you want just take your money and rush you out the door....and thats why I do not go back to them other places!!!!

Amazing donuts! Incredibly fluffy, soft and not overly sugary donuts! Even their cake donuts aren’t super dense and on the lighter side for a cake style donut. Prices are fair and fast and quick service even though there were a ton of people. Don’t mind the suspect parking lot or the area, these donuts are legit. Get your goods and dip!

Donut star is a great donut shop in the arcade area. I was shopping near by and stopped randomly at the sight of fresh donuts. So glad that I did. The lemon jelly, and strawberry frosted donuts are amazing. Donuts are old fashioned style. I dont need crazy flavors, just good prices and friendly customer service like here.

Good neighborhood donut shop. Nothing fancy, just good, classic donuts. The donut holes especially are the best Ive ever had. The 2 ladies who work the counter in the morning are so nice, and are really good at remembering their regular customers. Plus, theirs a really cute sign on the donut case that says please dont tap on the glass it scares the donuts. The location is convenient, and the parking lot isnt too crazy. It can get crowded at the entrance, but the ladies are quick to get everyone through the line. Credit cards are accepted as well as cash.

This donut shop has posted hours showing it is open till 9pm. It has cases filled with a wide variety of goodies including donuts, muffins, pastries, and more. The donuts are often so fresh they are still warm. The apple fritters are the best, not to mention the largest, Ive found in the Sacramento area. The donuts are not greasy, and their prices are very competitive.
