Cinnamon roll and glazed donuts
Erika L.

They have all the classic, original donuts here that'd you find when going to a donut shop (donut holes, maple bars, old fashion, glazed, sprinkles, etc etc). They've been at this location for YEARS and the service is always friendly and quick. The indoor seating is nice and they have milk, coffee, and other beverages that you can buy there too to pair with your donuts. There is no indoor restroom however and that's just something to note. We tried their CINNAMON ROLL & PISTACHIO DONUT and both were enjoyable! My husband was a BIG fan of the pistachio donut!

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!

The bestest donuts and pasties ever!!! Great service and ambience in shop! The boss is so nice. Highly recommend:)))

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."

Cinnamon twist doughnut with a black coffee.

I love coming to Doughnut Star! Every time I'm down in Orange County, it's a must-stop destination. This visit, I had a cinnamon twist doughnut with a black coffee, and both were absolutely delicious. The service was friendly and quick, making for a great experience. I also love the old-school 24/7 coffee shop vibe it has a classic charm that's becoming harder to find. If you're looking for a great doughnut and a nostalgic atmosphere, Doughnut Star is definitely worth a visit.

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!!!!

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.

Hello Kitty Donut

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.

Are they cash only?

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

Love everything about this place even when it was busy on a Sunday morning our waitress Samantha…read morewas great thank you so much!!

I ordered burritos for a wedding party brunch, and they were an absolute hit! Everyone loved them,…read moreand they were absolutely delicious! I ordered the pack of small burritos that included scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese, home fries and avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla, it came served with salsa fresca and salsa verde. Because the wedding brunch was the next day I put a note asking them to wrap it up so that it would be OK for overnight period and a very thoughtfully packaged each burrito with I think wax paper and then put all of them inside a aluminum container and so that made it very easy to re-warm. I could put them in the oven for a little bit or in the microwave without the aluminum... But there was a lot of thought. What I appreciated just as much as the food was the wonderful customer service. Due to an unexpected delay with work, I wasn't able to pick up my order at the scheduled time, but the team was incredibly kind and accommodating despite my very late arrival. I had a conversation with I think the manager who was very very kind and explained to me his process. I've been to this establishment before so I was happy to order again. At the brunch many of the girls were already familiar with this establishment but did not know that they could order catering service services, and the ones who were not familiar seemed very interested so there might be future customers down the line! It's always a pleasure to support a business that not only serves delicious food but also genuinely cares about its customers. Thank you to the entire team for helping make our celebration a success! I would happily order from here again and highly recommend them!

I've been coming here for years, and the food quality has stayed consistent and always excellent…read more The owner, Adrian, is genuinely one of the friendliest people you'll meet. He always takes a minute to come say hi and actually talk with you, which is a rare quality these days. The servers are all nice and the service is great. If you haven't tried the Nebraskan rib-eye, that's the move! If you're a fan of eggs benedict, it's a must order. It is the best I've had anywhere, not exaggerating. Early bird is one of those special places that feels like it actually cares, and it shows in the food and the people. Highly recommend!

Such a gem! I've…read morebeen hearing great things about this place and finally had a chance to try it... I was so impressed. The restaurant has plenty of seating and the staff is very welcoming. They also were playing great music here ;)) My partner and I shared a breakfast burrito and the churro waffle. The breakfast burrito came with a side (we picked hash browns) and it was packed with egg, cheese, and bacon. The hash browns were so flavorful. The churro waffle was such a treat! It's not too sweet and comes with banana and whipped cream. Shoutout to our server Kezia she was so attentive and kind :) You should definitely come try this place out!
