Donut Star
6160 Arlington Ave, Riverside, CA
Crema's Take
“Donut Star is a nostalgic Riverside institution where buttery croissants and generously-filled pastries like their beloved Bear Claws keep loyal customers coming back for decades. While the shop's dimly-lit interior could use some TLC and service can be inconsistent, regulars rave about the quality of their breakfast sandwiches and donuts—including a solid selection of glazed varieties and leftover deals through TooGoodToGo. It's the kind of place with genuine charm and comfort food that rewards repeat visits, especially if you catch them on a good day.”

Kinda dark and not too well lit inside. Could use a refreshment. Ordered a ham and cheese croissant, and a sausage egg and cheese croissant sandwich. Both were great. The checkout is kinda sketch, they want your card, but charge it and swipe it behind the counter. Would be better if they did that in front of you
My child and I were going to place a large order here, we literally walked out the door because the lady was super rude. Bad attitude and negative atmosphere. Not a surprise, I will never be returning to this donut shop. Besides donut shops are a dime a dozen and the great thing about America is I can CHOOSE to spend my money anywhere I choose.
I’ve been here MANY times for their breakfast croissants and donuts. Every time is great and delicious. This time I used the app TooGoodToGo to order their leftover donuts to bring with me to a party. Such a good deal and I love being able to support this local business! I love that they are conscious about not trying to have food waste too. Highly recommend!
Grew up in Riverside, been going to this donut shop since I was a kid. Always remember my Dad and I getting a donut and the owner of the shop used to always give me free donut holes. Best glazed donuts, nice and fluffy, not flat like some other donut places.
My favorite are their Bear Claw! Soft, just the right amount of apple filling, with a light coat of sweetness. Always friendly. I have never eaten a donut from here that wasn't yummy to the last bite. Fair prices. Relaxed atmosphere. I love um!
