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. Iβve 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!
Im originally from Stockton and there was this amazing donut shop there growing up thats no longer there, but today just passing by I saw Donut Star, and decided to give them a try. They had every dont you could think of and more! I was even able to find the donut I had as a child and let me tell you, I had a special moment In time with that donut. A must try donut shop!! Best in Sacramento so far and Ive been here 10 ysars
Best donuts in Sacramento! This is a wonderful little family owned business. They are some of the nicest folks on the planet. They are honest and their donuts are delicious and always fresh.. They are always creating something new and wonderful tasting.. Excellent customer service. You gotta try their donuts!! You wont be disappointed.
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.
Just great, even with the homeless maybe tomorrow morning.
Very best donuts around. And very kind staff.
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.
Donuts are good. Convenient location with ample parking. Fast service, and the occasional free extra donut.
All ways a good selection, d as y or night. Very friendly. Good hot chocolate.
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.
The workers are friendly, the location is clean, and most importantly the donuts are really GOOD. By far the best in the area! Give em a try, you wonβt be disappointed.
If want a great cup of coffee and a great tasting donuts then go and try this place, you wont be disappointed.
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.
Ive been there a few times and their donuts and service was great π
Iβm not gonna lie, I usualy only leave reviews when the service is horrible, so I thought Iβd leave a good one for a change. This is hands down the best donut shop Iβve 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!!
Great service, always friendly! Donuts are fresh and yummy!
Hard workers. Always have fresh dounuts regardless of the time of day.
Great prices and plenty of donuts and treats to fill whatever your hunger is craving . Give it a shot it wont disappoint!
Great selection of donuts and donut adjacent! Fast and friendly and fresh. Havent tried everything yet but havent had something I didnt like. Great parking too.
Best donuts! I love the meat and cheese croissants and the cream filled donut holes are amazing. The old fashioned donuts are my favorite, but I love exploring what they have. Very good prices, you wont regret it!
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. Itβs a solid size but lacks the density making a lighter than you would think. Overall, itβs not a bad AF, I would make the stop again if I was in the neighborhood but nothing to make a crosstown trip for.
Itβs a cute little place! Whenever I go here which is weekly I always get a βgoodmorningβ in a positive attitude so the people are very nice and the donuts are always fresh they make them every morning. Try the bacon maple donut itβs actually amazing!
Quick and speedy service. Donuts are nice and airy. Not too much glaze but enough to let you know your sugar crave is over. Im a fan of the cinnamon rolls. Very fluffy and big π
The ladies here are amazing so nice and always give an extra donut I definitely recommend you go here
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.
Worst experience ever rude staff mold everywhere bathroom is dirty donβt keep up with cleaning facilities False advertising for stuff they sale. And the staff canβt give me a dam topping when they have it written on a piece of paper.
Great selection of delicious items. Worth a visit!
If I wouldnt had diarrhea and nauseas... iwouldve given a solid 3stars. coffee .. bad. Pastries not well cooked, raw dough.Whatever happened to this place.. who knows
FAST SERVICE, FRIENDLY GREETINGS, EXCELLENT PASTRIES!!!SO GOOD, YOU HAVE TO WATCH YOUR WALLET!!
Best donuts in the area its our go to when were in the area.
They have the most delicious donuts around I have actually been craving them and have gotten out of bed at 4:30 am and gone down there for a cinnamon roll and a chocolate bar with whip cream! They also have donut holes with whip cream, love that whip cream in a donut.
Wow! This place is one the best or probably The Best donut shop in the Sacramento area. Fresh and Quality made assorted donuts here. A must stop.
Best donuts in Sacramento hands down!
Best pastry in Sacto.
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!!!!
I just love love love this place the lady is super sweet i go here daily and shes always in a great mood. The bread here is delicious. Great customer service
The best donuts in Sacramento anywhere I promise
Love their donuts. They are cooked just right. Never doughy
Service was excellent. Doughnuts were fresh and yummy. Great selection!
First time there, excellent service and great coffee. Recommended white mocha. Delicious
Great straight up donuts. All the right kinds. Open til 9 nightly except Sunday. Other stuff too
A favorite for β coffee
There apple fritters are awesome. Especially if you get there early when theyre still warm. All their goodies are yummy. I highly recommend.
Amazing donuts! Incredibly fluffy, soft and not overly sugary donuts! Even their cake donuts arenβt 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. Donβt mind the suspect parking lot or the area, these donuts are legit. Get your goods and dip!
I went here today at 4pm and it was 4 people ahead of me so I waited outside out of 4 people only 1 person had on a mask and lady that work there did care cause she still help them took their money that was more important to her so when it was cleared I went and told her she was wrong thats nasty you let 3 people in there with no mask and on your door it says no mask no service thats not true your mot obeying the rules and I will never go here again this donut star need to be fine make sure everyone that come there are wearing a mask straight ridiculous I drove by there today feb 7,2021 they had customers in there with no masks On straight nasty never Go there again they need to be fine stop serving customers thats not wearing a Mask
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.
Love the fresh donuts and the staff are friendly.
Donut Star has been the Best Donut Shop since I can remember. I am a Sacramento Native and there has never been a better Donut shop. No oily after taste. Fabulous Bacon Donuts and their Mochas are Heaven on earth. Great customer service fast and friendly. πππππβββββ
I live 15 miles away! So...whenever Im on that side of Town....this is where I go to take care of my doughnut craving!
Hot coco is best Ive ever had an all donuts are fresh an prices are very fair i highly recommend this donut π© shop if you want some delicious donuts

Great donuts for a great price and very nice staff and owners
Great customer service! Very friendly staff!
Best service ever. The women are awesome and they always provide the best donuts variety on the planet. Super Fresh, Giant, and served with a smile. Been doing business with Donut Star for over 10 years and never had a bad experience.
Love this place my gorl wont get donut holes anywhere else
Superb customer service and the treats (donut holes, iced mocha, brownie, old-fashioned, and Cake Donuts) are all yummy.
Greatest selection of doughnuts. Always excellent service. Friendly staff.
I bought here late, so maybe thatβs why Iβm rating it lower? But the place isnβt sanitary and the donuts were subpar. The lady was very nice though.
Best donuts and open late! Yes they take visa!
It is the best
Some of the best donuts in Sacramento! The owner Eric knows what he is doing!
Yummy donuts. Apple fritters are the bomb
Very yummy donuts! Very friendly server!
Good Doughnuts and selection
Friendly staff great fresh donuts and coffee
Ive tried the majority of donut shops in sac and Donut Star is the one i keep coming back to. Fast service
Great place. Quick and easy.
Fresh Donuts, I love coming here after church down the street. The staff is kind and warm, the donuts have great flavor, and the drinks and such are delicious. They have a great selection as well more than many other places nearby. Enjoy :)
Customer: I need help understanding your prices...Lady behind counter: What, you canβt read?Lolwut? XDThat lady is off her rocker you guys...
Great place very nice workers donuts are the best Ive had in Sacramento. Must try.
Amazing donuts π© Always fresh
My family loves this place so much even when we are out of town and go to a different donut shop its just not the same. Donut star are the best donuts Ive ever had.
This place is so good I come here every Friday with my son before class and not only is it filled with the same locals but I always here people coming in talking about how they have the best donuts and they are not lying they are so good and make them fresh... the customer service is Good to always welcomed with a friendly smile and and hello no matter how busy they are
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.
Good fast and nice to the customer and every doughnut mad is home freshly baked mmmmmmggoood David steven and my wife liza
Always fast and friendly but more importantly extremely delicious donuts. One of the few places in town that make French crullers right π₯°
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.
Love it ππ
Its the best in all of Sacramento.
Love this little shop. Always fresh. Only complaint would be that once in a blue moon they do accidentally sell an expired milk
Been coming here for years always friendly donuts always freash.
This place was great and my family loved their donuts.we will definitely be back to get some moreπ
A large variety of Delicious donuts, muffins and coffee. Clean with indoor seating. Pleasant and efficient staff. This is a top notch donut shop.
Known Eric and his wife since the day they first opened always super nice and ask how my family is doing....eric is a tireless worker and owner and makes the best donuts in town bar none. Of course you dont have to ask me just look at the line everyday
I love this place! The owners are very nice, and their donuts are the best!
Personal favorite is the turkey and cheese croissant sandwiches they are delicious!!!!
Great Doughnuts.
Best donut I ever had
