Star Donuts

The place was small but sweet and the staff was really friendly. I first came for the boba but grabbed a dozen variety of donuts OMG let me tell you I’m not a donut person but these donuts are light and fluffy I have to restrain myself from eating another. My girls who really love donuts enjoyed them so much and said they were the best they have had to date.
The coconut boba was really good exactly what I expected and satisfied my craving. I’m so happy to have a boba place in town.
I would definitely be making all my donut and boba purchases here!

From the smoothies to the variety of donuts and specialty croissants, this has to be some of the most addictive comfort food in all of Arizona! The closest I’ve come to this across the board quality and delectable taste is at Sea Side Donuts in Newport Beach, California!

These doughnuts are addicting. I really wish they weren’t so darn good because I find myself coming here everyday. They have the best doughnuts that I’ve tasted in all of Arizona. It’s pretty hard to beat them. Best doughnuts and coffee. A must try.

Great Mom and Pop-​like donut shop! The glazed donut and donut holes are to die for. The time my family came in, the owner gave my two daughters a free donut hole which was very refreshing to see from a business. If you are looking for the non-​chain donut shop in Surprise, this is the place for you!

A big plus for Surprise. Other then Dunkin Donuts and store bought. There isn’t much choices out here for donuts. Well on Friday I took the kids there for a donut. Was surprised by the selection even for late morning. Their fancy donuts are huge. The donuts are very good, I still like the Donut shop on Grand Ave. However this is a great place. The workers are really nice, not a lot of seating inside, but there is seating outside. Well worth your visit, prices are very reasonable.

Holy delicious! Every single donut is amazing, the dough is so fluffy and flaky, no wonder the line is always out the door! This is our Sunday morning ritual.

This place was nice. From the very warm customer service to the taste of their items.
It’s hard to see off the road a bit, but worth trying. My family usually goes to a local store to pick up donuts and I have to say, we won’t be going back to the other stores when we get in our donut fix anymore.
There is a list of smoothies on the wall which are great! My kids loved the ham and cheese croissant! They were light and fluffy and tasted great!
The glazed donuts reminded me of a Fresh warm Krispy Kreme donut, but not as sweet. They were well balanced and very fresh. Compared to the other places we’ve tried in the area, this trumps them. They don’t have a huge selection of donuts, but the taste and quality more than make up for it.
If you can stop by and try them out, the price is reasonable and will be worth the trip. You’ll be glad you did it!

Delicious! Been waiting ‘forever’ for a great doughnut shop in Surprise, and now there is one! Great shop, friendly staff, good prices… simply awesome doughnuts, fresh, light and fluffy!

Great donuts. gourmet donuts for sure. These are definitely the best donuts I have had on a long time. Only problem is I can’t eat this stuff ask the time. Lol. won’t be going back to Dunkin donuts as long as this place is here.

Best glazed doughnut holes! Glaze is delicious and has great flavor. The doughnut hole itself is soft and fluffy. Happy to have a good doughnut shop in Surprise!

Decided to give this place a try early in the morning on my way to work and I’m so glad I did! This place has some of the best donuts you will find in the valley. Very nice customer service with great options! Try them out. The BEAR claws (filled with fruit!!) and fritters are so amazing! Will defiantly be back again! (‘:

My family thinks these donuts are as good as we got out in California. We heard that they had the best glazed donuts and fritters which my husband likes and is very picky. I’d definitely recommend Star donuts to friends and colleagues.

The donuts, Apple fritters, and the croissants are so delicious. Employees are very nice and prices are reasonable :) also you are in and out very quickly. You won’t be disappointed

The thing I miss most about living in Southern California is the donuts. SoCal has a donut shop on almost every corner fresh and inexpensive. Arizona has a few decent shops, most of them are too far away. I am very excited to have Star Donuts fairly close to my house.
The staff was very friendly and efficient, filling orders and moving on to the next customer.
The selection was perfect. I do not enjoy the Dunkin idea of having 30 different kinds of donuts, but be out of the popular ones, pick a reasonable selection and have plenty of each on hand.
The donuts were excellent, soft, fresh, plenty of flavor, not overly sweet. We had Glazed twists (a houshold favorite), maple bars, blueberry filled, sugar and crumb donuts. All were exacly as they should be.
Prices were on par with Arizona donut shops, not the $ 5.99 a dozen you find in SoCal, but reasonable for here. I though the 10 cents extra charged for filled donuts was a bit silly, but it is pie filling after all and that can be costly.
Great shop, welcome to the neighborhood, we will definatley be back.

Nice to have fresh donut shop in Surprise now! They are open early to allow people to grab some donuts on the way to work. Very friendly people, good selection, soft as a pillow donuts. You can smell them cooking as soon as you get out of your car in the parking lot. Check out the apple fritters, not only are the huge but they are delicious!

Great donuts place very clean & excellent customer service. Finally a good donut & coffee place in Surprise…

Finally a real donut shop in Surprise! All fresh and taste delicious — get there early for the best selection.

The best Apple Fritter in the area!
Friendly service, nice little shop, really tasty donuts.
Give it a try… you won’t be disappointed.

We’re very happy to have a new Boba place in town!
I have been here twice. The first time I was disappointed because the donut selection was so small and basic. It could hardly compete with two Dunkin Donuts and various grocery store bakeries in sick a small area, right?
The boba was good. The donut was okay. I returned a week later with some school kids and treated them to drinks and snacks. Because I knew what to expect, it wasn’t disappointing. I appreciated the simple selection and the cheerful service.
The place has grown on me and I hope it starts introducing more variety and more fresh ingredients.

Every now and then, you just need a donut. There are some delicious donuts here in the Phoenix area (Lamar’s, Bosa) and I was excited to see a new shop opening up on Bell Rd. I drive down Bell Rd to work every morning and for the last few weeks, I had seen a sign out front that said «Coming Soon». Well, I drove by it the other day and it was changed to «Grand Opening». I decided to stop in and sample their goods. I parked, walked in and here is how everything went down…
I got in the place and there were 2 people working, a man. who seemed to be the donut maker, and a lady who was working the front ringing people up. There was a lady already at the register who had placed her order for some donuts and was waiting on a coffee or something. They have one of those coffee machines that you find at cheap gas stations… the kind where you put your cup underneath it and then press a button and it comes dripping out. Well… that wasn’t working so well. Something was wrong with the coffee maker and the guy employee/​owner was taking it to the back to get it fixed? Anyways… the lady finally was rung up, grabbed her donuts and was on her way.
While all this was going on, it gave me some time to browse their selection. They had pretty basic offerings and I had a general idea of what I was going to get. There was one other guy in line in front of me. It was his turn to order. This is where it went a little hectic (I was running a bit late to begin with and I figured I would just pop in, grab some donuts and be out in a few minutes… that did not happen and here is why.) The guy in front of me starts asking the people if they can «fill a chocolate long john». I instantly made my «you have to be fucking kidding me face» and shook my head. Hey… I’m all about freedom of choice. We live in America, damn it! But if there is a line of people behind you, just choose from what they have in the case. This isn’t «Donut Throwdown» and the last time I checked, «create your own donut day» falls on February 30^th! Get outta here… Anyways… the nice people that own the place granted his request and went and got the jelly donut filling machine, popped his long johns in there and gave it a squirt. He replied with, «I always liked those as a kid.» I felt like replying with, «Where the fuck did you get your donuts from as a kid? I’ve never in my life seen a jelly filled chocolate long john. Anyways… he was on his way.
It was finally time to get my donuts. I went with a regular glazed, a raspberry filled jelly donut, a double chocolate cake donut and a chocolate covered buttermilk bar. A tad under $ 4.00 later, I was out the door. Here is how the donuts were…
Regular Glazed– Very light and airy. When you bit down, it was like a soft pillow collapsing. The donut had good texture and a good amount of glaze. It was probably my favorite of the bunch and I would definitely get it again.
Raspberry Jelly Donut– Once again, this was a very light and airy donut. The jelly filling was just alright. It was not sweet enough and the jelly part didn’t have the best texture. Decent but not a standout donut.
Double Chocolate Cake– This donut was pretty small. The overwhelming theme of all the donuts I tried was that they were not too sweet. The chocolate icing was pretty thin and the donut itself was soft. I like a little crunch/​texture when I bite into a cake donut. Sadly, this one did not have either. I would not get this one again.
Chocolate Covered Buttermilk Bar– Why do buttermilk bars always have the thickest icing? My buddy said it perfect… «It’s like buttermilk bars coating is ice creams Magic Shell of the donut world». I couldn’t have said it better myself. This donut didn’t have the great «tang» of a good buttermilk bar. It was pretty small too. Probably wouldn’t get it again.
Overall, this place is ok. The lady working the counter was nice and friendly, the donuts wont break the bank, but there are better donuts out there. This might be a good donut for Surprise (compared to Dunkin or store brands), but it’s not in the same ballpark as others I mentioned before. I will probably be back at some point. It’s on the way to work and its conveniently located so I’m sure Ill stop back in. I also like to support mom and pop type stores when possible. Stick to the glazed and you will be alright.
