Donut Star - La Jolla

What a hidden GEM! I'm not into Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts. Donut Stars donuts are so fresh/soft/ the perfect amount of sweetness. They have something for everyone! They are always so friendly here as well! I love supporting mom and pop places and it's even better when the quality of food is so awesome!Awesome Apple Fritter, Jelly donuts, cream filled, specialty and more! Yeah their might be homeless people in the parking lot but, that is NOT the owners issue that is a SAN DIEGO issue that we have so many homeless displaced people. So if you're in the area and want a treat... HIT them UP! you will not be sorry!

I've walked by this place many times. Finally, we decided to stop in and treat ourselves to a donut and coffee. The service was very welcoming, and they have a good variety of donuts, including some inspired by Girl Scout cookies. I got my favorite a Bavarian and my friend got a cinnamon sugar. Both were delicious! And the coffee was fresh brewed. Apparently, this has been a donut shop for more than 40 years, so I always like supporting local businesses over the chains.

It's not real fancy, and there's not a lot of room to sit, but this place makes some amazing donuts.The blueberry old fashioned is great. A great variety as well, from simple glazed to maple bacon long johns and fully loaded s'mores donut. The service is friendly too.

We were originally going to a generic Dunkin Donuts but spotted this place. So we decided to give it a try. The have maple bacon donut and it was the softest most pillowy donut I ever tried. My daughter had their s'mores donut and she said it was good but it was more like a sugar trap than a donut. The bacon apple fritter donut also was very sweet but the bacon off set some of the sugar. My husband had the old fashioned blueberry which he said was fantastic. The only downside is not really their fault. I think the water has a funny aftertaste so their tea although there were many nice flavors was ruined. The couple running the place are cute and nice.

Well, our son had a craving for donuts, and so while in the area, we found Donut Star.Don't let the humble surrounding deter you. The donuts here are really amazing!!I love this place like I love my own favorite donut spot.Bavarian cream, yesss!Taro with coconut, yayyy!My son is a fan of maple. The gob it on. ???So, my thoughts? Let's go!!!!
