Adult donuts!!! Unique distinct flavors, great coffee. No lines!!! (unlike some other donut spots) Orange olive oil and raspberry rosemary are the best :)

These donuts are worth your coin! Expensive, yes, but wildly delicious. The texture of these donuts are unlike most other donut shops. The perfect cakey fluff. Moist, not dry. The old fashioned donuts have a mouthwatering crisp. The flavors are fun and enticing! At this specific location the two ladies working were wonderful. My friend was visiting from out of town and when I asked them for activity recommendations they were instantly excited and started sharing all their favorite spots. There were no customers behind us so we chatted for a few minutes. Along with our box of donuts we were carrying 3 to-go boxes from another restaurant. The cashiers noticed and offered us bags to help condense and make things easier to manage. Amazing customer service and experience. So yes, $5 is on the higher side for a donut but you have to try it just once. The donuts are divine and the staff is friendly. Lots of residential and street parking too. If it's between Blue Star and Voodoo Donuts, I'm picking Blue Star every day.

I was wandering around Mississippi Ave. on a rare sunny day recently and stopped in. I haven't been to Blue Star since before Covid, and I've noticed a definitely drop in quality and service at most places so I didn't expect a lot. The shop is nice, very clean. There was a bit of a wood finish smell. Maybe one of the adjoining shops was refinishing their floors. The people there were friendly and helpful. Literally seconds after I walked in I was being helped. Great selection of unique doughnuts to try, but the real star here and the reason I would give this place 5 stars over and over is the quality of the doughnuts. I had the mango crème brûlée filled, and it's easily the best doughnut I've ever had. It's hard to even classify it as a doughnut. If you put this on a plate and served it at a 5 star restaurant it would easily be a $25 dessert plate. Perfectly balanced filling, not too sweet, not grainy as some mango filling get. Perfectly brûléed... I mean, I don't think I've ever had a better doughnut and honestly I'm not sure I've ever had a better pastry. Prices are higher than other doughnut shops, but well worth it. Go into it thinking of it more as a dessert rather than a standard doughnut you'd but a dozen of and pass out at work. It's a really finely crafted thing. Absolutely perfect. I'd love to see Blue Star expand, there is a wealth of doughnut shops in the city but none are this level of quality. If you haven't been, you should.

Kinda shocked at a $5/donut. But, I tried them hoping they had a great product w/o coconut. There seems to be a trend in using ingredients using coconut. I'm a super taster, (yep, it's a real thing) and I want a really good donut that doesn't contain some sort of coconut flour, oil, or flake giving that hint of coconut taste. Blek.

Pricey donuts, but unique flavors. Staff felt a bit standoffish, or ~too cool~ to be there. Sampled 5 donuts, totaling over $30 :O Rotating selection, so don't be surprised if there's a flavor that's not there at a future visit. The donut texture and flavor were above average, but the flavors definitely set Blue Star Donuts apart from other donut spots. Worth a stop, but likely not a frequenter of this spot for the wallet.

Lots of amazing flavors coming from this little donut shop!I was visiting a friend and she brought me to BSD and we got a 1/2 dozen to try the variety of flavors.My favorite was probably the champagne pie donut although they were all very good. Also, I was a fan of the peppermint mocha, but that is most likely seasonal.
Not gonna lie, I had high hopes and while it was a fine donut it definitely didn't live up to the hype. I'd skip and head to Doe instead.

Unfortunately, I can’t rate via the Uber eats app right now. I’ve long been a customer of Blue Star. Unfortunately, as their prices keep increasing (at least 3x in the past year), their quality & size of donuts decrease!I also ordered strawberry shortcake donut bites & they were frozen!! Dry donuts & frozen bites for increased prices is disappointing to say the least.It’s always been a special treat for me. Too bad.

I can easily say these are the best donuts I have ever had! The flavors are original and the donuts are fresh. Go out of your way to try this shop. You will leave smiling!

They definitely have a unique selection of donuts. They were all very tasty, but most of them were too dense for me. And they're also very expensive for donuts.

Loved this place so much on my last trip I made a huge detour to come back and grab a dozen for the trip back home! Such a small world having met someone from the same neck of the woods! (Er.. more like high desert?) till next time!!
