Donut Star

I have lived in Murrieta for 17 years, and this donut shop has been a staple in my family and in this town for ages. I remember being in middle school and my mom taking me to get donuts before she dropped me off at school really early, and I would see them making donuts since the wee hours of the morning. As a kid, waking up to make donuts at 3AM contradicted my desire to sleep, but as a 23 year old woman I can acknowledge how d and resilient those who have run this donut shop over the years are. Much respect! Let’s keep them open for generations to come!!

I was actually referred to this donut shop by the folks at Vista Donuts in Murrieta, since Vista was habitually out of the plain croissants I wanted to get for other members of my family when I would visit there. The donuts at Donut Star actually seem nearly identical to what Vista is selling; I would not be surprised to find they have the same owner. The quality is great here, and the prices are reasonable. I'm especially a fan of the Apple Fritter that they sell, which is large, moderately crispy on the outside, moist with ample apple filling in the middle, and delicious! The service has been fine every time I've been there, which has been dozens of times.
