DK Donuts

Everyone keeps talking about their donuts and they all miss the most important aspect of this place… They having mutha ducking KOLACHES!!! Being a Texan that was exciting for me… Donuts where ok… wasn’t Shipleys… but its better than anything else Ive tried around this place. especially Krispey Kreme… yuck… My only suggestion would be to get rid of the hotdogs and start using sausages. boudin… ham and cheese… etc…

The buttermilk donuts are to die for! Coming from a place with no local donut shops, DK is like heaven! I have now ate over a dozen in two trips spanning two weeks! I better slow down.

Very friendly staff and excellent donuts! I had Bavarian Cream filled chocolate and Buttermilk Cruller. I will be going back. SOON!

I’m a fat guy, so i know donuts. I had a twisty maple bar and let’s just say, if I wasn’t married, I’d marry that donut.
It was perfectly fluffy and the frosting was on point.
The owners are very kind and it was obvious they were passionate about their job and cared about each customer.
Boom.

First off: I have never been a big fan of donuts because they tended to never sit well with me. Someone brought an assortment of these in to work one day and with my coworkers raving about them, I cautiously ate «half» of one… and was sold! Tried regular sugar glazed, maple bars, apple fritters and something filled with apple and everything was tolerated nicely by my system. While the store has no frills, the donuts speak for themselves — they melt in your mouth and leave you in a happy, round, fried-​pastry coma. Yes, these are truly donuts to crave and will put a smile on your face as you savor them. Do yourself and your coworkers a favor and bring in a dozen!

My favorite donut shop in town! Seriously, I don’t understand the hype about Krispy Kreme. DK Donuts is the real deal! I can get all my favorites that I learned to love as a child. I haven’t had a donut in several months but today I splurged and had a chocolate bar for breakfasts and a chocolate cake donut with BSU sprinkles for lunch.
I stopped in this morning to pick up 2 dozen donuts for an employee meeting. I got one dozen of mixed bars and the other dozen was a mixture of old fashioned, cake with sprinkles, custard filled, etc. The owners are friendly and it is always clean. My grand total was $ 19 and some change.

June 22 2015. We bought 4 types of donuts… Maple bar, old fashion chocolate, bear claw, buttermilk. They all were bad bad !! Bear claws so much cinnamon & dough tasted old (2 days) chocolate on old fashion was dry. Buttermilk tasted like glazed sugar. Not buttermilk at all. I have no stars for DK donuts. Nasty & 1.50 each what a waste. Try county donuts on overland! 200% better!

Love their donuts and their prices!

I love DK Donuts. It’s good food and very original recipes. It’s also a wonderful family run business that I love to support. Kudos for this local business doing great.

This place is such a welcome addition to Meridian. Love their donuts. They always are very fresh and there is always a wide selection. Much better then the grocery store bakery donuts which seem to be the standard in this area.
The shop is bright and clean and the staff is always friendly. My favorite guilty pleasure is the bacon maple bar. But I regularly get an assorted dozen for the office and they are quickly devoured.
I tried the apple fritter today. It wasn’t bad, but definitely needed more apples. But the crispy outside and moist inside were good.

Absolute best donut place in Idaho. I came from California where my favorite donut shop was Spudnuts. Sadly we don’t have that here in Idaho. I tried many different donut places and when I landed on DK Donuts on a whim, I was in heaven! Delicious donuts, great prices, friendly family-​run business. They even made me a batch of fresh apple fritters when I came in to buy a donut in the middle of the afternoon — JUST BECAUSE. How awesome is that? I ended up buying a dozen of them when I only went in for one!

I travel a lot and I try to eat a different donut shop each day and I found DK Donuts to be the best one out of all of them. Just the right size donuts and just the right amount of sugar in them. They also feel light and not heavy like many places make them. The staff is very friendly also. Keep on making great donuts.

These are great doughnuts. And the service is exceptional. Dk is your consistent west coast style doughnut

Great doughnuts, friendly service and clean. No dirty and sticky tables and floors like an area chain doughnut shop has issues with.

Good service, very friendly, prices are fair and the donuts are goooood. Best I’ve had in Meridian.

OK for out of the bucket dough. Most of the doughnuts are fresh and tasty but not spectacular. The specialty items like cinnamon rolls and bear claws are their weak point, I was going to say that you could do better at Jackson’s but they just stopped carrying Pastry Perfection products and now the best place for doughnuts in Meridian is Winco now that they have self check out lanes.

Best donuts in the valley, and now one closer in Meridian! The store is clean. The donuts are fresh, delicious and priced just right. Love that it’s a family run business.

This review is probably biased. But that’s fine, because this DK Donuts is spectacular.
Full disclosure: When I woke up at 3:40 a.m. on a vacation day and climbed out of bed and into –1 degrees of raw Idaho morning to make their 4 a.m. grand opening, I became more than this outlet’s first customer, ever. I became its donut godfather, and thus assumed all the responsibility and impartiality that such a made-​up title implies.
I’m totally rooting for Darren, his family, and their little slice of a strip mall that has long been a place where Meridian’s small businesses go to die. Partly because he shook my hand and claimed I’d been good luck when I came back for a second box at 11 a.m. on their first day and found they had almost sold out, but mostly because they’re a close and easy place to get delicious donuts.
And they most definitely are delicious donuts, fried in stages all morning so you’re always likely to get something fresh. Their strawberry and blueberry frosted cake donuts are the best of their kind, anywhere, and their old-​fashioneds live up to the standard set by DK’s flagship Boise location.
The old-​fashioned crueller, in particular, is a hard-​fried, butter-​soaked monument to West Coast donut supremacy that would rank as the single dopest pastry in the Treasure Valley if it weren’t for Country Donuts’ legendary fritters.
Speaking of fritters, the apple ones at DK are decent — a little thin, flimsy and dry, but still far superior to Winco, Albertsons or Freddie’s. Likewise, their other raised options suffer from the same pitfalls that plague the original DK: thin, watery-​tasting frosting, gluten-​heavy dough and an unenthusiastic fry job that leaves their exteriors without enough rich crust.
That said, their maple bars are still totally worth a shot, mainly because the DK dudes do a spectacular job of hiding their flaws though the simple expedient of slapping a slab of bacon on top. That alone is a good enough excuse to drop by for the occasional breakfast, although I’m pretty sure the tremendous cake donuts are enough of a draw on their own.
