Love these donuts and always stop by when I get a chance. I really loved the passion fruit one recently but the current seasonal flavors are great as well (pictured). The only thing I've noticed is sometimes it feels like the donuts have a base lemony flavor which throws me off!
I can’t emphasize how cool of an experience this was! My husband seemed hesitant at first, but once we got settled in he loved it. We definitely plan on being back and bringing friends along to enjoy this relaxing space.
If you’re debating trying this, please do. It’s definitely worth it!
We had such an incredible and special time at Blue Star. Not only was the space clean and beautiful, it was well appointed with thoughtful details and our bath soaks were INCREDIBLE. My husband and I were so impressed with the experience: we brought a little picnic and the two hours were perhaps the most relaxing of the year as a windy winter storm raged outside of the cozy little enclosure. Perfect conditions for soaking: something about being outside in the winter but at the same time feeling warm, safe, and private. Perfecto. Since our soak, we have loved this place even more since following them on social media: we love their commitment to speaking out about the issues we care about, even at the risk of folks who have never visited trolling their reviews. Don't believe the negative stuff: this place is a true gem of an experience and worth your $$!
