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
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!

Are they cash only?

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

I grabbed the Strawberry Matcha cake slice, and it looked absolutely beautiful. I was on my lunch break, so I didn't get a chance to try more, but everything in the display looked amazing. They had so many cake selections, plus pastries and drinks, which definitely makes me want to come back and actually spend more time there. Even though it was super busy, the service was impressively fast and efficient. One employee helped take my order and package everything up, and the cashier rang me up quickly, so the whole process was seamless and perfect when you're on a lunch break. The atmosphere felt very family-friendly, and despite how busy it was, the experience was still smooth. Parking is free, there's a small lot directly in front, but if that fills up, there's additional parking in the connected plaza, which makes it easy. I didn't get to try the cake but brother-in-law and sister said the cake was delicious. If you're in the Fullerton area and looking for a cute dessert spot with lots of options, this is definitely worth checking out!

I must admit, I was lured over by someone else's photo here on Yelp of a blueberry donut, so thank you for that ;) It was mid-morning when I arrived, so the cases reflected that the most popular items had been snatched up by the early birds, but there were still plenty of donuts and bagels to choose from. Best of all, there were still blueberry cake donuts to be had!! Donuts are similar to potato chips in that you can't just get one. I also ended up with a maple old fashioned and a raised that was dipped in maple glaze and further adorned with Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal. I'm saving the old fashioned for tomorrow (I figure of the 3, this one will do best on the second day). The blueberry cake with blueberry glaze was perfect with my morning coffee ~ I'd definitely pair these two together again! The Cinnamon Toast Crunch raised was light and fluffy, the cereal giving it a nice added crunch, and it was a much appreciated afternoon treat. The girl working the front of the store was very friendly and didn't look at me funny as I started snapping pics of the shop to go along with my review. When she finished my transaction, she went over to finish chatting with a customer. When I noticed a few ceramic coffee mugs hanging on the wall, I asked if they belonged to their regular customers. Indeed they were, one of whom she happened to be chatting with. Gotta love that! I left Donut Chain not just pleased to have scored a blueberry glazed donut, but also happy to witness the genuine, easygoing rapport that the employee and customer were enjoying.

These are hands down my favorite donuts. The Maple Sea Salt, Apple Fritter and the Blueberry are my…read morego-tos, but to be honest everything is great here. The gluten free options are also equally as good and have a good texture. Not to mention the owners are just overall good people. In my short time at the shop, I was able to witness how rooted they are in the community.
