I'm a Long Beach dad who frequents this area for my son's sporting events. My son loves the array of sandwiches and donuts available here and its close proximity to all baseball and football facilities. Plenty of parking spots are available along with seating and additional shopping as well. The vibe outside is meh.... Because it's the OC so absolutely no one will strike up a conversation with strangers because it's Orange County. It's impossible for the residences to learn something like that here. The service is A* and it feels family owned so the kiddos love it and that's all that matters. We will be back ! read more

This place sucks late at night No more maple bars AND stale ass donuts Pretty crazy considering it's so popular around here What donut place has zero recommendations by the way when you're out of maple bars The guy working was rushing me while there was no one else in the shop, it made me not get anything else Save yourself the trouble and get an ice cream from McDonald's across the way read more

Great place to grab a sandwich. However, you need to be CLEAR about what sandwich you want. I told the lady I wanted a Turkey Club and got a breakfast club instead. Was it horrible? No way, It was good!! Be clear on what you want, they make great food here . I will be back to get that turkey club soon. read more

This Donut Star location continues to be my favorite place for donut holes. I love their regular glazed and croutons donut holes. They are always fresh if you get them in the early morning. Croutons holes cost a bit more, but I think they are totally worth it if you like a croissant donut. Workers here are always friendly and they get you in and out real quick, which makes this the perfect breakfast stop. read more

Literally the best donuts in town, so underrated! They're always fresh, fluffy, and delicious. Way better than any big-name donut chain. Whoever is behind these heavenly fried pastries is doing an amazing job. read more

Parking was challenging. Busy busy shopping area. Nice variety of donuts but the boys gave me specific requests so I went with that. 8 yr old are the whole glazed donut. 5 yr old ate the whole top half of the glazed donut dipped in chocolate with colorful sprinkles. Anyone for a half eaten donut BOTTOM? So predictable. Thank you Donut Star!!! Ok, bye. read more

Was my first and last time coming to this store. I waited in line to get helped while one of the workers was helping someone else. Another employee saw me but walked away. A white guy ends up walking in and the same employee that ignored me immediately helped him out and greeted him. Even though I had already been waiting a couple of minutes. Will never come back to this establishment again. read more

This place a great spot for an early morning treat or an evening snack! All of the donuts look amazing and I have every reason to believe that every donut tastes just as good as it looks. I got a regular sugar donut and it is exactly what I had wanted!! It was light and fluffy and was obviously made fresh! The staff is attentive yet efficient which is perfect when there's an early morning rush. The ambiance is fun and unique and there is plentiful outdoor seating. Overall, this place just became a new favorite donut place in my book!! read more

I placed a 3 dozen donut order in advance and when I arrived for the pickup time they didn't have my order. The manager then proceeded to tell me it wasn't done because they couldn't read the writing from their employee who took the order. I told them I needed it asap because it was for a wedding and she began to give me attitude and said that it wasn't going to be done for a while. I will not be coming back here. read more

I was there this morning for some donuts and found out they are open 24 hours! Not that I would eat donuts in the middle of the night, they also have sandwiches etc. The place is very clean and the food is fresh and donuts are neatly stacked. The cashier/server was very cordial and helpful. They have just about everything a cafe has. Try them! read more

We originally planned to go to Krispy Kreme for National Donut Day but ended up stopping by Donut Star in Irvine and we were so glad we did. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with this quick little stop after dinner. Even late at night, they had way more options than we expected, especially since it was Donut Day. We were hoping they wouldn't be sold out of everything, and thankfully they still had a great selection. We picked up some donut holes, both sugar and cinnamon sugar, and they were perfectly fluffy and warm with way more cinnamon sugar than usual which made them even better. My wife went for her favorites, the classic glazed and a custard filled one since she is obsessed with custard. Let's just say those were gone before we even made it home. I grabbed a few of my usuals including the classic sprinkle, cinnamon sugar, and strawberry. Every one of them hit the spot and of course I had to pair them with a cold chocolate milk. The staff was very sweet and patient while we took our time deciding what to get. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area or just in the mood for some solid donuts late at night. read more

Get there before food sells out but this place is the shit! My old man and I had half a dozen donuts and halved a fried rice and club panini and everything hit different. Donuts are perfectly flavored without hints of being too rich or cakey and the food while a tad greasy came perfect and felt relatively homemade. Would easily come back as it's open late has a ton of drink options and is great priced and joy should too! read more

Fresh donuts. Clean store and friendly staff. They have my favorite chocolate French donuts.

Great restaurant for more than just donuts! Consistency is key to restaurants, and Donut Star has always been consistently delicious. Try it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely 5 stars for the donuts! Pricing is a bit high. But the donuts melt in your mouth. The dozen of standard donuts we ordered was $21. Specialty donuts are $2-3 extra each. Woah. So we kindly asked to put the M&M donut back. The donuts are amazing. Loved the sprinkled donuts, sugar twist, custard filled, long johns, and glazed. I appreciate how simple and good they are. Nothing fancy or too sweet. Located in a plaza with boba and other food and dessert options. Plenty of parking. read more

Donut Star - $21 for this dozen (Feb 2023) - Melts in your mouth! - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

Let me save you the disappointment if you're here specifically for the old school stuffed ham & cheese croissants. They should specify if they have ham & cheese croissant or ham & cheese croissant sandwich. Because that's exactly what I got a cold, ham, cheese, croissant sandwich. I should have been skeptical that it was wrapped in paper but in my defense they said they JUST made it. So I assumed it was a hot baked stuffed ham & cheese croissant. It was not. read more

Donut star is my go to donut place if I'm looking for a quick donut in Irvine. They offer a large variety of different donuts and they're open 24/7 which is a huge plus because you never know when a donut craving will strike. This isn't a high end/gourmet donut store by any means, but is a solid place to get more traditional donuts. It's never been super crowded any time I've gone, so it's easy to get in and out quickly. I definitely recommend trying the croinuts and blueberry donuts here! The croinuts here are underrated and are actually one of my favorites from all donut places! The only reason I'm knocking down a star is because I got the croinut holes one time and they were a bit stale. I'm not sure if it was just an off day, but I've only bought the actual full sized donuts/croinuts after this experience as I've never had an issue with those. read more

My favorite donut place ever. Donut star is a Irvine institution and has been around 20+ years, since I first moved here. The family running the store is very sweet and friendly. Their donuts have not decreased in quality in all the years I have been coming and it seems each year they expand their menu to include more things like sandwiches, smoothies, and now rice based dishes. Their prices also cannot be beat, which in a world of inflation, Donut Star makes not only your mouth abs stomach happy, but also your wallet. read more

Just as good of food as elsewhere. Go to a different donut shop and get the same thing. Except you don't have to get an attitude with it. To the female cashier that laughed in my face when I confronted you, thanks a lot. To the misleading menu, thanks a lot. To the female manager that couldn't give a rip, thanks a lot. Donut star just tried charging extra for something made up on the spot. I asked the cashier why it was extra to get the bagel toasted. I told her it wasn't on the menu. I corrected their mistake for the 50 cent made up charge. I know it may not sound like a big deal, but imagine if I bought a dozen. They still gave me a toasted bagel... which was the icing on the cake for me. That's what made me tell them both off. I'm glad I did. Laughable. Shady ways Donut Star. But hey! I guess it was National **** This Dumb White Guy Day... LMFAO. Do yourself a favor and don't support this business. Ralphs bagels are half the price and don't come with a side of attitude. Just sayin'... Cheers Donut Star! read more

Donut Star located at 5365 Alton Parkway (not to be confused with other locations) delivers via Uber Eats and I was really craving breakfast foods but was too busy to make a breakfast run myself so I decided to order myself breakfast. I ordered the Lox and Cream Cheese Open Face Bagel on an everything bagel. The smoked salmon (lox) was fresh and good quality. I was impressed by that! They have a great amount of capers and onions and tomatoes. I also liked how they included a side of lemon pepper for some spice. The only part I didn't like was the bagel itself. It was very dense and bland. I'd also ordered a sourdough bagel and a whole everything bagel to go and that was also dense and bland. Lesson learned: don't expect bagel store quality bagels from a donut store haha! I'll stick to Noah's or Einsteins or Shirley's for good bagels. I also ordered a vanilla french cruller (French cruller with vanilla frosting) and while tasty, it tasted dried out like it was a day old. Overall my craving for breakfast was satisfied but when I'm craving bagels I'll just drive to a bagel store and I much prefer the French crullers at Mag's Donuts. read more

I wish I had 2 more hands to give this donut shop 4 thumbs down. Donuts were stale, and so was the customer service.

I'd happily pay any price for a bagel when I crave a bagel but don't tell me it's 2.25 and then it's 5.60 at the register. Not cool.

Had the best glazed croinut ever from here yesterday.. so soft and the right amount of flaky/doughiness inside. Honestly am so impressed with this shop.. Fresh quality donuts & decently priced. Gonna make this a regular stop :) read more

24/7 donut shop in Irvine? Don't mind if I do! Great selection, everything didn't feel stale. Ordered a few donuts and some donut holes. I don't recall donut holes being a little pricey (4 for $1) but I can't complain since it was 12am and nothing else was opened. Loved the service, the worker was nice and patient with us. The shop looked nicely lit at night so definitely felt comfortable. Grabbed our donuts and called it a night. Now we know a place that's opened past 10pm on a Tuesday! read more
