Used to come here back in the day when they were in the same small building with the potato company. That was back in 2015. I got to watch this company flourish and go to their new location. I've tried all sorts of famous donuts in my travels but I always remember this place as being my favorite. I haven't been back since maybe 2017 since I'm on the East Coast now but hope to come back one day! No donut has compared to Guru.
I still remember the one girl looked at me funny when I ordered and used my last name and had to ask to repeat it 😂. Staff were great then and hope all are well!

Wonderful to have a gluten friendly doughnut option! The coffee was awesome, the staff were great! They even made sure that I understood the difference between gluten friendly and gluten free, for my safety, when I chose my doughnuts.

I used to absolutely love Guru and came in once a month to try their new donuts for years! We even had Guru donuts at our wedding! The donuts would stay fresh for over 24 hours.However, since they renovated and changed the shape of their donuts, they have been so disappointing. They are now so dry and are stale within hours. We gave them a second chance thinking it was growing pains and they were still too dry and dense. Our apple fritter was still doughy and uncooked in the middle as well. We won't be going back.

I wanted to love this place. The customer service was good, the location is cool, the donuts looked special.Unfortunately the taste/texture is not what I was hoping for. This may be personal opinion, but this is my review dangit.Most of the donuts had the texture (and often flavor) of a dinner roll with glaze on top. Maybe they would be much different fresh, but it was noon, not day old. They had neither lightness, nor sumptuous density, just a mouthful of bread. There was one, Cookie Monster or some such, that was so salty that none of my family could finish it.The old fashioned were okay.For $3.50/donut I had high expectations. I spent $100 on donuts for a birthday party.Did I just get unlucky? I’ve had chain donuts and grocery store donuts for half the price that I preferred.

This is the best donut shop I have ever had the pleasure of visiting! Such a beautiful place to invite friends for coffee as well as enjoy a hand crafted donut! The crew is so friendly and welcoming, can’t wait to go back again!

Guru did an amazing job with dessert catering for our wedding. They made it incredibly simple to submit our order, purchase donuts, and complete the set up for the wedding. Guru brought trays and name cards and did a beautiful set up of donuts for the wedding! They were a hit!

This location seems to be under new management. Gone is the creative and fun vibes of the old guru donuts replaced by black and white McDonald's industrial vibe. A majority of the creative unique delicious donuts are gone. Instead you can choose from old fashioned, chocolate glazed and maple bars. As of writing this there were a small sample of the old guru donuts available. Bam bam, Samoa, and the og.

Great donuts can be tough to find, but not at Guru

I love Guru Donuts!! They are the first place I've had vegan donuts, and I'm never disappointed. The texture isn't the *same* as you would expect from traditional donuts, but I really enjoy the texture of their donuts. I can't go here often because one is never enough. The monthly flavors they have are usually delicious. I'm scared to see if they have a summery special with pineapple cream. That stuff is addictive!

Friendly service offering large tasty donuts. These sweet treats come in a variety of creative flavors. They offer swag as well, t-shirts and stickers.
Loved the vibe from the moment we walked in. Had the Blueberry Cheesecake and Boston Cream. Sooo delicious ? also got a Vanilla Cappuccino and a Mocha-made with love and ? art ?

Needed 6 dozen donuts for an event, super easy to order online. They were ready when I picked them up, and everybody loved them. I enjoyed the G.F. potato donut, super tasty!

Adorable Shop and Great Donuts!The Cinnamon Sugar and Healthy Homer are the two year round Gluten-Free options; they're made from Idaho Potato Flour!I stop in for Coffee and a Donut each morning I work in Boise.Everyone behind the counter has always been excited to share their favorite flavors. Great small business.

These are WAY too delicious! We’re from out of state but visited the Boise area and toured a few homes for our family. It’s only been a few days and I’m craving these donuts again ? every flavor we got was incredible — my personal favorite was the Alice in Wonderland (Top right, with house-made birthday cake crumbs!)

I’m a HUGE fan of Guru. As a vegan, it’s not common I get to enjoy donuts. Guru makes every month a donut party with new vegan-friendly flavors. We love them so much we had them cater our wedding! I would highly recommend them for any event. They were easy to work with, helped us setup our donut display, and were flexible with making flavors we wanted / decorating them as we were hoping to for our day!
