The best donuts. They are so pillowy and full of flavor. Every donut is perfectly frosted. Stopped in because i seen a picture of the maple bacon bar? Now it?s my favorite weekend morning breakfast treat stop. Take a chance stop in. It?s worth it.

The donuts were really good but the deep black coloring in their chocolate kind of freaked me out ?? I've never seen chocolate straight up black on a donut before. The picture is from the day after we picked them up and you can see how intensely black the chocolate is and kind of looks like a hint of green or something? It kind of worried me that it would stain my teeth. ?? Reminded me a little of Halloween donuts haha still delicious but would love to know why their chocolate is like that.

Best donuts around! Not oily, they?re like biting into a cloud. Yum!

They are not located close to me, but they were the only place that was open early on a Sunday (6:30 am) so I decided to make the drive over on a snowy morning. I was not disappointed :) Fresh, fun, and delicious!. There are a couple doughnut places closer to me, and I could have waited until they opened;; however, I know one for sure that I've tried twice, and was highly disappointed with doughnuts that tasted like they were cooked in old oil. This place was a wonderful surprise. Oh, and and when I open

Stopped by on a whim looking to see if they had sugar raised donuts which I loved as a kid. Among a lot of other things, I found sugar raised twists, cinnamon twists and the all glorious MAPLE BACON BAR! I had to buy some. I noticed a few donut holes were dropped in my bag too which was a nice surprise. I waited until I got home to try them out. Probably some of the softest and freshest donuts I have ever had. The only one that survived long enough for a photo was the maple bacon bar (because I saved the be

We came in for my son?s 4th birthday today (2/4/25), this was our first experience here. We have a donut place closer to our house but haven?t had the best experiences there so we drove out of our way to come here. I am SO HAPPY we did. The woman behind the counter, Joo, took such good care of us and really went out of her way to make my son feel extra special. I would hands down recommend this place even if it?s a little bit of a drive for you. It?s so worth it and the donuts are delicious!

We have been going here for years, in my opinion they have the best donuts in town. From the looks of it, they?re only doing cake donuts now but I could be wrong. They used to have a lot more for options but still plenty to choose from. The 2 kids working were very customer service oriented and efficient. Great spot if you?re looking for an OG donut.

I bring my kiddos here after they have had an extra good week or if they need a special treat just because they are cute! We love the taste and texture of their donuts. The kiddos like the options of donuts aimed towards them (rainbow donut, blue or pink glaze with sprinkles, m&m on chocolate glaze, gummyworms on chocolate glaze etc). I love their fritters and their maple bars. I always get a dozen or half a dozen donut holes, which is inexpensive. The gals working the front and drive-thru are so sweet when

Very friendly staff, good quality donuts. Looks like a hole in the wall but those are the best.. You get one or two dozens most likely going to get some extras, supporting local economy.

Really happy this place opened. Fun and creative donuts. Always fresh and super good! Everyone here is so nice and patient while you make your choices. There's seating and wifi so you can relax while eating. They offer a wide variety of drinks as well but the donuts are the main focus.

Sweet Sensations Donuts is hands down our family?s favorite spot for donuts in the Treasure Valley! We stop in most weekends to grab their delicious, fresh donuts, and we?re never disappointed. The variety is fantastic, and the quality is consistently top-notch. My daughter loves the rainbow donuts and gummy worm donuts. The staff is always friendly, making each visit a treat. Highly recommend!

Found out about this place because Krispy Kreme was closed. They were so sweet and the donuts are amazing! Definitely will be returning and referring this place to friends and family!

I really love Sweet sensation's Donuts. The price is nice for the quality, it's not too sweet and the texture is really good for me. The clean interior and friendly staff response are also good. I would recommend this place to those who are looking for a high quality's donuts.

Awesome donut shop with delicious, beautiful donuts that are perfectly not too sweet! Great service and I always leave with a smile

Doughnut's were awesome! Great selection to choose from. Will be back!

I was brought a box of doughnuts from the home owners of the house I was working on. I've never had these doughnuts, I've been missing out. They are soft and airy with just the right amount of crunch to make your mouth happy.

Donuts are bit overpriced but are ok , the thing that was bad was the cashier's attitude she was almost falling sleep and had a face like she did not want to be there, also tables were filthy the cashier's have more than enough time to wipe down js, the girl helping with donuts order was friendly and polite

My cousin told us to come here and we loved it! The owners were so nice to our kids and gave them a couple of free donuts. The donuts were very tasty and fresh. I will come here again and bring friends and family here when they come in from out of town. The donut holes melt in your mouth.

The donuts here are very light and fluffy, almost melt in your mouth delicate. The ladies running the place are super sweet! You can choose any donut too and have it filled, and they do it right in front of you. Got several donuts and they gave us some donut holes that were absolutely phenomenal!

I liked it not loved it because there was not a big variety. But, customer service was awesome and kind. I will go again, donuts were good as well. Try this place out.

Some donuts were good, soft and fresh. Others tasted like they were from Safeway. Service was ok, kind of robotic and not really friendly. Not sure if I would go back, not really interested in paying almost $3 for my favorite donut.

Best doughnut shop around. Great assortment of flavors and the doughnuts are soft and fluffy. The frosting and creams are not too rich and still full of flavor. They also fill your doughnuts with creams or jelly right there as you order. So you wont get any soggy doughnut bottoms if they happened to have been filled previously for some time. Great friendly staff and enjoy the doughnut hole garnishes I get each time.

Best donuts ever! Great service! We ordered a bunch of glazed donuts and donut holes for a wedding. All we heard from the guests was "these are the best donuts EVER!"

In a rush, this place has a drive thru! Service is great and they always have the best cake donuts in town!

Delicious Donuts, the are very light and airy. You don't feel all bloated and gross after you eat their donuts The server was kind and polite. And the prices are very reasonable. I am going to be visiting again very soon.

You have to get up early to get the good donuts from the local mom and pop shops, that's just how it is. And I'm no morning person, so I still haven't found one of those near famous blueberry cake donuts on the shelf. But I won't hold that against anyone other than myself. That being said, I don't care. What I have had is fresh donuts made by a lovely and caring couple that own this place and work hard every day. Every time I've been in they've added a few extra donut holes to my box for free. And today, t

These were super donuts! Our first time here and will come back. Our favorites were the maple bar and cake donuts! So yummy!

I like custard filled donuts. She was willing to fill my maple bar with custard for me.

This was probably the best donut I've ever had in my life. I had the chocolate covered strawberry donuts and my son had the blue sprinkles. Each donut comes with a donut hole. It was seriously the fluffiest, tastiest donut. I will definitely be back! ?? They also have a drive thru for extra convenience.

If I could give the food and service a 10 I would! the girls are all so sweet! My daughter calls donut holes baby donuts and every time we go in they say you want baby donuts and it makes her day! They work so hard and always through in some baby donuts for me too! This has become a regular stop for me due to how convenient the store and drive-thru are and how sweet the girls are.

Friendly helpful staff.. Amazing yummy doughnuts.. Smells alone are fattening.. I mean what more could you ask for ??

Took my little man to get his very first donut hole and low and behold it was covered in chocolate frosting(chocolate makes everything better). Great prices, tasty sweets, and phenomenal service!

If I have time between shifts and a little pocket money, I like to treat myself here. Very friendly service.

I don't eat donuts very often anymore, but let me tell you what, these are worth the occasional treat. Hands down my new favorite. I had a flashback to high school and what donuts used to taste like. Buttermilk Old Fashioned -Amazing!

Doughnut excellence! This place is amazing.very good doughnuts. When they were all out of the kind my son requested, they gave me a replacement free!

Great food great service. This is my Saturday morning go to spot and the tall brunette girl I think here name is Kailah was supper sweet .

Located dangerously near my house, this place is Donut Heaven. The donuts taste like the donuts of my dreams... soft, fluffy, melt in-my-mouth donut goodness. Sweet Sensations, thank you for bringing my Donut Fantasy to Life! Not so much on my sized up jeans but oh so worth it! Give me Sweet Sensations Donuts or give me Death!

Probably the best Donuts I've ever had. The Apple Fritter is unbelievable, Maple bar is excellent. I still need to try the old fashioned donuts. The Icings are nice and light but full of flavor, and not just colored Sugar. The donut holes melt in your mouth, and they always throw in a few extra with your order. The line was almost out the door this morning, but I was in and out of there pretty quick, and the woman that helped me was super nice. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I love sweet sensations. Ever since I tasted their donuts, I can no longer eat donuts anywhere else. The bar has been raised. The donut holes melt in your mouth like small clouds of fluffy sensation. The establishment is always clean and the staff are always kind, wonderful people.

Very tasty donuts. I love they fill the donuts when you order so donut stays fresh. Donuts were soft and delicious. My daughters loved the selection. Advice.. go early. It closes at 1pm and selection diminishes quickly later in the morning.

The only place I'll get donuts at and I WORK at a donut shop. These donuts are on a whole other level! Highly recommend!!

One of the best Donut shops I have been to.

The best donuts ever! They were absolutely delicious and fresh like they just came from an oven. A coffee was good too. I definitely would recommend this place. One thing I would not recommend is to go to their restroom. It was very dirty in it. If their restroom and sitting place were more welcoming, I am sure that this place would have 10 stars ??

Fantastic fresh donuts. Owner is pleasure and cares. Recommend

Delicious donuts and great service. I will definitely be back! Also, locally owned!!!

I?ve come here many times for donuts and am never disappointed. The kids are always excited about the rainbow donut. The staff is friendly and I will continue to come here for donuts.

The donuts are absolutely delicious and so fresh! The fillings were so tasty. I had one filled with Bavarian cream, one with lemon, and one with raspberry. So flavorful! The gal working was extremely nice! She even gave me an extra donut for being pregnant ?? I will definitely be back!! 5 stars all the way!!

Someone had recommended this place so I decided to try it over the weekend with my sister. There was a long line but we made it through quickly and the girl at the counter greeted us and helped answer our questions, she was so sweet to my 2 yr old daughter and gave her a donut hole to eat while we ordered! My daughter is a horribly picky eater but she devoured that donut which surprised me! We got home and she was asking for more donut holes but we hadn't ordered any and to our surprise there was a few in o

Great donuts. Fair prices. Friendly staff. What more can you ask for. You won't be disappointed.

My new favorite donut shop in the valley! Super friendly, great variety, and excellent tasting donuts! My kids love going there because of all the kinds they have, such as ones that have a rainbow and clouds on it, ones with gummy bears, and others with strawberries, chocolate chips and whipped cream. This morning she custom filled one with lemon for my husband. We won?t go anywhere else!

I started a new bad habit on 12/6/2020. I had a Bacon covered Maple bar at Sweet Sensations. I also had an Apple Fritter and although it was very good, the Bacon covered Maple bar was amazing. The Maple was sweet, the donut part was wonderfully fluffy and the Bacon was savory. I'm not a fan of donuts that are to sweet. This was an amazingly balanced sweet and savory treat. And as you can see, they were generous with the bacon. I'll be a regular at the Sweet Sensations spot.

This is a great little shop eheather you dine in or take out. They also have the very best eaten Donuts and cinnamon rolls I have ever eaten.

Donuts delicious, always. They have plain-fancy donuts. Customer service always surprises me with how good it is. The entire staff is so kind.

I came here on the way to another doughnut shop lol! I like to try new places whenever I can and I'm so glad I decided to stop in today! The doughnut display was so good and made it easy to choose which ones I wanted. The young woman taking my order was incredibly warm and welcoming. Also accommodating and oh so generous! The atmosphere was lovely and the doughnuts are perfect! Not too heavy and too sweet. Great flavor and it was so easy to consume many with only small regret. I don't eat a lot of sweets. B

Not only are their donuts AMAZING (like melt in your mouth good), but the owners and workers are so incredibly kind! My oldest has special needs and they are always so kind to her. They provided donuts free of charge for her Make-a-Wish party/meeting today and sent us home with some too!

This place is our favorite special treat donut shop. I stumbled upon it one day about a year ago and I can't say enough good things about it. They are always busy, for a good reason though: delicious melt in your mouth donuts. I recommend their mixed dozen special on the board. It seems to have been the same special for over a year now, but it is a good deal. The next day, they are very good, not as good as fresh but still better to me than other places out here. Their donut holes are very very goo

How is this not global??? These donuts are the best donuts I think I have ever had. I would drive across the state for these donuts. They make their own fillings and the Bavarian cream is hands down my favorite. If you haven't tried their pigs in a blanket, you have robbed your taste buds of something truely amazing.

Best donut shop in Meridian. Best apple fritters in town. Donuts are light and fluffy. They are not overly sweet. The fritters are the perfect ratio of apple to dough. Real apple chunks. You know they are using fine ingredients for everything they prepare. Plus they tend to give you free donut holes with every order.

I just visited this yummy donut shop a few minutes ago. Yes the donuts are delicious, always are. What set this business apart from others is the absolute amazing, refreshing, bubbly, customer service that I received while there. There is a lot of good customer service in the Treasure Valley, but Erica stands at the top. Wow wow wow.

Cheyanne was very helpful, moved quickly, and had service with a smile.

Don't go anywhere else. These donuts are the best for the surrounding 100 miles. I've tried many shops. I cannot fully express how happy I was. Sweet people who love what they do, you can taste the quality. I will not buy donuts anywhere else in Idaho except here. Beside myself with how impressed I am.

Tried every doughnut bakery in the Meridian and Boise area and Sweet Sensations has by far the best doughnuts. Fresh and soft with great flavor!! Only complaint is the donuts are pricey and way too small for the price.

I?ve gone here a few times and every time, I?m amazed at how fresh and good the donuts are! Their blueberry cake donut is SO good! Hands down, the best donuts in the valley.

Amazing donuts! I am not a donut fan. My kids love when they get donuts, those days I'd turn to eggs or something else for myself, until now. I found this place on accident and my kids wanted to try them out. They are so incredibly good and worth every penny!! The downside is I now need to move so i don't get fat! :)

Hands down some of the best doughnuts I've ever had they were fresh. The maple bar is amazing. The people at my work fought over them.

These are the best donuts in the Treasure Valley and the customer service is amazing. They have the cutest high school girl working there named Cami. I buy 2 dozen donuts every time and they always throw in a few extra donut holes. Amazing!

Best doughnuts around and such friendly service

Great donuts but it's the service that will keep me coming back. I was so impressed today, my first visit. Some very creative donuts, too. It's great to find a business where the owners love what they do and treat their customers like old friends.

Great people and good doughnuts. My kids love the rainbow doughnuts. The wife loves the doughnut holes. But you absolutely have to have a blueberry cake and you MUST have a blueberry old fashioned. They are fantastic. Probably one of the best, if not the best, old fashion in town

There are only a handful of good donut shops in the valley. For the longest time, DK was the donut king of Meridian but Sweet Sensations is a new contender. I?ve been here three times now and each time my donuts have been soft and fresh. They are kind of expensive but I don?t really mind that because donuts are just an every-once-in-a-while thing. My kids like the fun, candy-covered donuts. Most of all, the staff is very friendly. I?ve received something free all three times I?ve visited SSD. Highly recomme

This was my first time here at Sweet Sensations. Very clean store and a wide variety of donuts. I was surprised that when asked for the Boston Cream donut, that they fill them right there so it is fresh. I am definitely going back to buy more if these delicious donuts.

My husband and I both agree. If we die and go to heaven, sweet sensations donuts will be the first desert there. ?? Seriously a taste of heaven every time. Fluffy, airy, delicious and they never last a second day in our house. They literally call your name...and are a guilty pleasure. They do sell out quick, but it just gives me more motivation to wake up earlier the next day. Worth every penny! You cant get this kind of quality anywhere else. Soooo amazing, fresh, and delicious. I love you Sweet Sensations

This is my go to place to get donuts in the treasure valley. I haven't been here for about 2 months and today's donuts were not that good. The donuts had no flavor and left a bad film in your mouth. Really disappointing. I've never had this issue before and hopefully I just got a bad batch today.

These are some of the best donuts I've ever had, and I'm a lover of donuts. The ladies at the window, and newly reopened inside are wonderful at serving well. They will fill any donut with any of three fillings: fruit jam, custard or buttercream. The frostings are extra good, but the whole thing is excellent with butterfcream , especially the longjohns. I highly recommend this place for the great taste of the donuts and the gracious and good service.

Delicious donuts but they are consistently running out of the most popular donuts during the middle of the morning. I took my family in this morning (10:15 am) and they were missing half of their normal donut selection because they "ran out". Same thing happened last week. No maple bars, no chocolate bars, no cinnamon rolls, or bear claws (just to name a few). I take my donuts very seriously and I thought I found the best donuts in the Treasure Valley until they "ran out" of them at 10:15 am on a Saturday!

Best Donuts in the valley, hands down. They are perfect with great texturr. They almost have a deep fried taste, with out the grease. They are amazing! Try the maple bacon bar or donut holes, you'll see!

Oh donuts, I love thee so. This is another bomb donuttery, it has a drive thru as well, and the ladies who run the place are super nice and chill. Highly recommend their old fashioned, apple fritters, and old fashioned blueberry. Nom! Enjoy!

The Best doughnuts in the Valley! The Best doughnuts period in my book.

There aren't many options in the valley to get donuts to begin with. But this place makes THE absolute BEST donuts in valley/state/northwest. Sure, they might cost a little more, but how much does Guru donuts charge? And those guys can't hold a candle to this place! Plus the staff here is super friendly, they won't put the filling in the donuts until you choose which one you want, and they are always busy, which tells you how awesome the product is. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. Do yourself a

These tender and delicious donuts are the best around! Not overwhelmed with toppings, you get a real taste of their delicious yeast dough, and when you get a filled donut, they do not mess around. There is filling in every bite!

Donuts were fabulous! They have the basic kinds of donuts, not the unusual flavors. I felt that we got blasted with rules before walking in the door. "No outside food or drink!" was prominently posted. (They are located about 50 feet from a Dutch Bros.) Why wouldn't one want to get a good coffee and then a donut and enjoy it at the donut shop? Having bistro tables and chairs outside would be a good idea, too.

Sweet Sensation Donuts was our favorite donut shop in Idaho. The owner was always super sweet and her pastries were super fresh and delicious. Unfortunately the last few times the quality has progressively deteriorated. Today was the worst our kolache?s were not warmed up as asked and they were squished flat in a bag. The doughnut holes were on the stale side and the cream filled chocolate bar was sour and filled only halfway. It?s super sad because like I said this place used to be amazing but ever since t

We have been going here for the past couple of years. This was the first time that we were disappointed. We ordered a dozen doughnuts and the stacked them in such a way that by the time we returned home the toppings were sliding off the doughnuts onto the doughnut box. I think they must have changed their doughnut recipe because the dougjnuts did not taste as good as they have in the past. I dobt that we will return anytime soon. I would rather drive a little bit farther away and get better service and bett

These doughnuts could brighten the darkest day. They melt in your mouth like a cloud of sugary goodness. Get in there early as they sell out quick and close when their stock is gone. 100% worth getting up early.

I would post a picture but the kids ate the donuts too fast. This place is good at what they do. A must try if you love donuts.

Super good donuts! Promised my 5 year old I'd take her for a donut the next free Saturday we had, and she didn't let me forget. She was given a couple donut holes while she picked what she wanted. Excellent customer service!

Love Love this place. Customer service is amazing and the donuts are so good. The donut holes are my favorite so light and fluffy and my son loves their fun and creative donuts. The pac man shaped one is his favorite. You got to check this place out!
