About Gold Star Donuts

Gold Star Donuts is a beloved donut shop known for its friendly and personable owners and staff. All donuts are freshly made, including custom options. The plain donuts are particularly popular for being fresh, fluffy, and not heavy. Located in Bradenton, it’s a local favorite and preferred over other donut shops. Customers often find the service to be friendly and fast, especially during early hours like 6 am on Sundays. The shop offers a variety of delicious donuts, such as jelly filled, chocolate glazed, and still warm apple fritters, which are considered some of the best in Florida. While the shop is small, most customers prefer to order to go, and parking is always available. The welcoming atmosphere and high-quality donuts make it a must-visit spot for locals and visitors alike.

This donut shop is hands down the best donut shop in Sarasota/Bradenton the donuts are always fresh and always consistently delicious! the staff that makes the donuts are always polite and welcoming. All businesses in the Sarasota area should model their business after Gold-star Donuts! Thanks for the donuts!

Great family owned business that's been in the Whitfield area for ages. I haven't been in personally for a long time and was excited to be able to go in for some fresh and delicious donuts and I was not disappointed.
Out of 5 stars I'd give Gold Star a 6!

Best donuts I have ever eaten! Go early if you want the apple fritters.
