Guru Donuts
928 W Main St, Boise, ID
Crema's Take
“Guru Donuts is a charming downtown Boise spot where creative, unique donuts steal the spotlight alongside surprisingly excellent coffee drinks like their standout mochas. The inviting, adorable space draws people in for leisurely mornings and meetings, though you'll want to arrive early since their signature creations often sell out by mid-morning. With warm, friendly staff and a fun atmosphere that locals and visitors alike find irresistible, this is the kind of place that makes you linger over avocado toast and excellent espresso drinks on a cold day.”

As I was walking around the downtown area in Boise, a cute entrance caught my eye, and once I stepped inside, I was surprised by how adorable the café was! I was so impressed by how unique the donuts were, and they were delicious. I was so glad I decided to stop by this café—it was the perfect way to start my day!
Pretty good overall, although by 11:30 AM they were out of most of their donuts… we didn’t get to try the donuts we wanted to try. We got one maple doughnut and would give it a 7/10, we got the avocado toast which we would rate a 9/10. Basically, all of the tables were dirty with food residue on them, and the floor hadn’t been swept or mopped in some time… For this there were no really good place to sit down.
Is it normal for a donut shop to break up your donut just to make it fit in a box? Like… did they run out of smaller boxes for three large donuts, or was this a creative choice? To make things even better, I ordered a chocolate old-fashioned. Maybe I confused the cashier when I asked him to change his gloves after handling cash? They definitely had larger boxes sitting right there—but hey, maybe those are reserved for people classy enough to only order two donuts.
My sister and I stopped in while visiting Boise for a couple of days. The donuts were fabulous - such great choices! The staff were all helpful and friendly and the space itself is fun and a great place to just hang around. I loved the pistachio and my sister loved her bananas foster donut.
Just loved hanging out on a cold January morning. I had a delicious avocado toast and a large mocha which was out of this world! The two gals that worked here were friendly and welcoming. And avocado toast was extraordinary. Would definitely come back here again. They have a large space and it’s conducive to kids too. Highly recommend this establishment. The donuts looked exceptional and they’re all specialty. There are gluten-free options with potato donuts, which I love.
