Where do I even start, best service I’ve ever experienced. Very humble and kind people. They make you feel welcomed & love small talk as well. BEST BREAKFAST SANDWICHES & FRESH DONUTS. You can tell they make donuts and food with love. I’ll be back again, see you soon my friend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Brian Berblinger · Dec 2025

Our family started going to Gold Star Donut when they opened in 1989. We used to get donuts once a month or on special occasions. The Boston Crème, Chocolate Long John, and Cake Donut with Sprinkles were my "go to". Today was my first time returning to Gold Star in over 25 years. It was a perfect combination of nostalgia and delicious donuts. The Boston Crème had the perfect amount of custard spread evenly through the donut. The Cake donut was soft and fluffy, but also rich and dense

Authentic, family-owned donut shop with the sweetest and friendliest staff. There’s always something new to try, and everything is consistently fresh and delicious. My husband and I always grab their bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant — truly the BEST, especially when you’re on the go!

The donuts and pastries were very delicious and very reasonably priced. The restaurant is very clean and the service couldn’t be any better 10/10 .My family has been coming here for at least 15 years. The owners are very friendly and will take care of you. This is my go to local donut shop.
