    Sugar donut
    Isaac Z.

    A childhood spot of mine, the owner is always super sweet and includes extra donut holes whenever I go. Always gotten the same thing, a sugar donut, and it's always perfect. Love their donuts!

    Weekend evenings when I'm in the OC somehow always lead me to Donut Star, and honestly, I don't even have to ask myself why... Because their donuts are consistently good--like, dangerously good. The Bavarian cream, raspberry, and lemon-filled are basically my weekend therapy, and don't even get me started on the buttermilk glazed. Soft, sweet perfection that makes you forget about your diet, your problems, and the bad Chinese food you had for dinner lol Now, full disclosure: the evening lady behind the counter isn't exactly auditioning for Miss Congeniality. But hey--as long as the donuts keep tasting this heavenly, I'll keep showing up with a smile big enough for both of us. And if you happen to walk in right when the apple fritters are fresh out of the fryer? Forget sliced bread, forget world peace--THIS is the real miracle. Crispy, golden, sticky, gooey, everything you want in life wrapped up in one fritter. You'll wanna grab two, because the first one will disappear faster than your self-control lol - however, this was one of those 3 AM on my way home stops, just an FYI (and no--I am not a street walker lol) So yes, the smile-o-meter could use a little winding up, but who cares? The donuts do all the talking. And they're saying: "Come back tomorrow. And the next day. And the next."

    Happy  Easter

    I know I can always count on Donut Star for fresh donuts and a hot drink 24 hours a day/night! I enjoy their creativity with their seasonal donuts! They also may a variety of smoothies! The staff has always been so friendly.

    She didn't even close my lid lol

    The female older employee is consistently rude for no reason I've been here for 2-3 years I've never had a problem with other employees. Today she told me light ice was a dollar extra for my iced coffee Dollar extra when you're gay and mind your business.

    Open 24/7 and had been around forever. Standard donut shop, The maple bacon bar is generous with the bacon. I think its been the same lady here since I was in high school 20 years ago. She's nice. Very to the point. $3 for "a dozen" donut holes seems steep to me but I havent bought these in a few years so maybe I'm out of touch? But they tasted fine. Open 24/7!!!!

    Walked in last night around 12am and immediately starred this location and added it to my maps under "24hr good donuts". Service was fantastic, I asked her opinion on different donuts and we shared a laugh over a flavor we had differing opinions on. The store was clean, staff was friendly, and treats were delicious. Priced very reasonably as well, four donuts and a croissant for $10! Will be coming back for sure!

    I don't know when this donut star became THE DONUT STAR. I've been living in Placentia for roughly 12 years now and I have to say, this is by far the best mom and pop donut star. I don't know when the kids took over but I love the family ambience. I love the creativity that goes into every bite. I'm a first responder and have taken multiple of my work partners here all the way from east Los Angeles where we're based out of and not one single soul has rated this less then a 10/10. this place deserved more stars and more praise then it gets. Try their blueberry donut, their strawberry muffin. Their creative artistic creations and I guarantee this spot will have you coming for more. EVEN THERE COFFEES SLAP. literally what are you doing and go TRY THIS PLACE NOW.

    A colleague of mine brought donuts from Donut Star one day and it was soooo good. I didn't realize DS is a chained company but I'm pretty sure this location makes it better than the others. I've frequented this place a few times in the last month and everything I've tried has been delicious! Their donuts have a dense cake-like texture, some are soft on the inside and other ones have unique flavors. A few favorites are maple/glazed buttermilk, crumb tiger tail, chocolate sprinkle over a round chocolate donut...etc.! Brought some for my husband and he's also super picky with donuts and this place is a hit. I received great service from the young lady and young man working behind the counter. Both are super sweet! Will definitely be coming back soon :)

    Rude lady said she wouldn't sell me anything because I spoke Spanish. She ignored me and said she didn't care because she wasn't the owner

    I give this place 0, ignored me when I walked in I asked her a question and she answered mad. She said she wouldn't help because I was I spoke a different language is racist. She also said she didn't care about customer service because she wasn't the owner

    Ethan's the best!

    Are they cash only?

    I believe they do cash and cards, no apple pay though.

    My friends and I visited this restaurant for the first time, and surprisingly, there was no wait on…read morea Friday night. They have a good selection of American food, and I ordered chicken risotto ($24) from the "favorites" section of the menu. Portion sizes here are good, and we were very full after dinner. Service here was basic, and we got everything we needed. Friday night is also a peak time at Downtown Fullerton, so it was hard to find parking spot. However, the ambience here was relaxed. While the chicken risotto was pricy, I enjoyed the mixed flavors and large portion size. The flavor came from the caper-parmesan beurre blanc sauce. It's a slightly creamy butter sauce with mild sweetness and added flavor from white wine. The capers added a very welcome tangy and savory seasoning to the sauce; they're one of my favorite garnishes. The flavors from the breaded chicken and risotto weren't too strong. However, I would've liked the dish more with if they put less parmesan because I enjoyed the flavor from the beurre blanc sauce the most.

    Sundays brunch are popular here! Came on a Sunday brunch…read moretime, was in a mood for steak and eggs. The steak is pretty large , it comes with eggs any way you want and either potatoes or hash browns. I prefer the hash browns there perfectly Crunchy. My bf ordered the chicken salad.. I preferred mine. The service was ok, I feel like they could have visited more often, but the food made up for it!
