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.

i love the donuts here !! it's super cute and the place is always so clean. Service is also fast and friendly ! 10/10

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
Susan L.

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!

Price gouging at it's finest! $2.25 for 1 apple fritter. Way to be supportive. 3 stars because the donut is actually good.

Are they cash only?

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

I loved all the sports memorabilia and the tribute to Kobe, it gives the space so much personality. To have such a vibey interior and a menu that delivers is elite. The menu is huge with tons of customizable options, so there's something for everyone. They also have a grab and go fridge stocked with meal prep options, and I appreciated that all the macros were clearly listed. The service was incredibly hospitable. The staff noticed I was taking photos and were genuinely appreciative and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered a smoothie and it was delicious. This was a great first visit, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.

Review 72/365 Day Challenge…read more Odd i recall reviewing PL b4 but i can't seem to locate my previous review. Their bowls are pretty yummy. Enjoyed a Hermosa bowl today. It's much more on the healthier side indeed. Not too sweet, perfect ligjtly sweeten. Topped w a fresh banana and a Huge chunk scoop of peanut butter along with massive granola toppings that covered the entire bowl along with the depths of granola that was used for the hermosa bowl. I'd definitely return again for the regular açaí bowl of preference i normally would get. Located right next to TeaTopia Same plaza as Tj Maxx & Trader Joe's Plaza. Lots of parking available.

You get that deep, cold açaí flavor first, smooth and just the right amount of sweet... and then the passion fruit jelly hits. It doesn't blend quietly. It crashes into it in the best way. Bright, tangy, a little tropical punch that wakes the whole bowl up. Every bite is that contrast... rich and refreshing, then sharp and juicy. It shouldn't work this well, but it absolutely does. I came in expecting a solid açaí bowl. Left thinking about that flavor combo like it was a full-on experience.

Aaaahhh Not sure if I could make it... my gps said I'd be there by 8:55 but some places stop taking orders which is completely understandable. I called ahead in case I didn't need to drive there and CHLOE picked up... I was trying to tell her my order just so it wouldn't go past 9pm but she was soooo friendly and said "ah just come in, you'll be fine" This might be such a simple response, but I've experienced so many businesses that even though they close at "a certain time" they just stop taking orders way before. And I get it.. I wouldn't want to start an order at 8:59 while I still had to clean and close everything up, let alone after a long shift and maybe I had some plans?...(who am I kidding I never had plans lol) but seriously.. totally understandable which why CHLOE WAS SO AMAZING!!! Thank you! UBATUBA CONTINUES TO BE OUR FAMILIES FAVE!!!

0 stars for the recent customer service at the Brea store and from management/customer care…read more There is a dead-eyed blonde female cashier who stands off to the side of the cash register drinking from her Stanley cup, tapping her nails, not wanting to be bothered. No eye contact, no greeting and doesn't even say the total $ amount owed. She mindlessly, sloppily dumps the groceries in the bag. The first time I went, she shoved everything into 1 overstuffed bag, so I asked for an extra bag on the side. If I hadn't gotten another bag, it would have ripped. I had to redo everything in the car and noticed the smashed produce and bread in the middle and bottom of the bag. She put all of the other heavier items on top of them including cartons of milk and eggs. This employee has been there the last 3 times I've gone. So I filled out the contact form on the website about the terrible customer service and NEVER received a response. In addition to the awful customer service (only from this 1 employee), several times the produce I bought ended up rotting way too quickly. Their healthcare section just got downsized a lot too. This location has gone downhill! I hadn't been to Sprouts in Brea for a long time, and went there instead this past weekend - more selection, better prices and MUCH better customer service!!

There is also booth seating but I have never seen anyone sit there and enjoy their items. Most people buy to go. There is usually plenty of parking since we go during the day, and the restaurant (which used to be The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and another coffee shop before them) next door was not open when we visit Jamba.
