Blue Star Donuts - Manhattan Beach

Tasty donuts with creative names and culinary twists. A bit over priced for what it's worth. I'd recommend Randy's for value and overall experience.

Blue Star is my favorite donut shop. I needed coffee and was excited to see this shop and had to stop. We tried the pumpkin spice, lemon poppy seed cake, and creme brulee. All of them tasted very yummy. The coffee was good also.

The most expensive donuts I've ever had but boy it's worth it! The dough is baked to perfection, fluffy and chewy. It's sweet but you can taste the purity of the good ingredients.

We 've heard the fame of Blue Star Donuts. So when we walked pass this tiny outlet, we had to stop, especially when they also serve Verve Coffee! The donut selection were displayed like jewels – each on it 's own plate. So, instead of the instant turn off when you see trays of donuts stacked up that says 'too much fat and sugar ', their excellent merchandizing did it 's job. We got sucked in. It is no longer a yes or no decision, it is which one should we pick. As a rule, I hate donuts because they are so unhealthy. But I made an exception that day to reward excellent marketing. I chose a jelly donut. After taking 15 minutes to brush/scrape off all the icing sugar on top, I remember biting into a dough that is light and spongy (not cake-like), with jelly filling that taste real and not too sweet. Yes, the rumours were correct. That was an excellent donut. It is worthy of pausing a healthy diet – just once!

Probably my favorite donut I’ve ever had! The bottoms have a bit of crunch (so good, trust me) and the rest is soft and doughy. The icing flavors are unique and absolutely delicious! I had the raspberry rosemary one and the flavor combination was perfect.
