Lots of options!
Dede L.

24/7 donuts, yes! We went after a UCI dance show around 9:30. Donuts were fresh and very delicious. Would go back again!

The donuts here were so light & airy! I was craving a sweet treat and this spot satisfied my craving. I had their vanilla sprinkled donut. My friend got their chocolate donut, and said the chocolate flavor wasn't as pronounced, but overall a good place that I'd come back to! Side note: the parking lot this is in can get pretty crowded during peak hours, though we had no problem finding a parking space.

Donut holes

We came in to check this location out and grabbed a few donut holes to try out the dough. Overall average. Good service. Easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

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.

I wonder if the sign lights up and blinks when they are making donuts. Hmmm.

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.

I was staying with my son, and he decided to get us donuts. This is one of his favorite donut shops. He brought me an old-fashioned donut with chocolate frosting. It was delicious! I really enjoyed it and would like to try other donuts next time.

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!!

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.

Ask the Community - Donut Star

Are there any vegan items here?

I don't think so but you can always stop by and ask.

How much does it cost for a dozen donuts, nothing fancy just the regular donuts?

$13.95 for a mix dozen I was told. At least half cake donuts in the box

When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

We ordered the Memorial Day Sprinkle, Plain Glazed, Cinnamon Sugar, and the unforgettable Bumbleberry. The Bumbleberry is the kind of donut you think about later - soft, gooey, and perfectly balanced with sweet-tart berry flavor. The location is close to both home and work, which makes it an easy stop, though I do wish there were more parking spots. The shop itself is spacious enough for tables, so you can sit and enjoy your donuts. They also offer coffee, teas, and sodas -- I haven't tried them yet, but maybe next time. Service is friendly, quality is consistent, and everything tastes handcrafted. I'll absolutely be returning.

Tables are clean and plentiful to eat at. We got the lavender sugar, plain glazed, and chocolate glazed. Lavender sugar was our favorite, the sugar mixture had a bit of salt in it so it was a good balance, asian sweet approved. surprisingly plain glazed was sweeter than the chocolate glazed. Chocolate glazed also had hints of salt. All 3 were very fluffy, airy, and soft, not oily at all! Vanilla bean latte was a good choice to balance out the doughnuts, vanilla flavor didn't taste artificially sweetened.

Upon retrieving my order, I discovered that my ham and cheese croissant was not fully cooked. I even saw the lady cook both of them together, not separately. The mayonnaise and cheese were cold in the center, which was quite unpleasant and disappointing. Mags Donuts, a well-established establishment in Irvine, has maintained high standards for a considerable period. However, I believe it is imperative to conduct regular inspections by health authorities to ensure compliance with hygiene regulations. Recently, I observed a fly inside the donut and bagel cases, which is a clear indication of inadequate sanitation practices. The environment was slow. There wasn't that many people inside. The ladies are amazing and sweet but they do not know English as good!! There is a massive language barrier but I have to give it to them. They are good with recovering. They gave me another food item as complimentary after mentioning how upset I felt besides that, poor experience. Service is what matters now in the world and without good service how will a business become successful now? I should've taken my business elsewhere where but I'm glad I got to experience this for the last time hopefully Thank you! Best of luck. I was not aware there was a different business owner. I had thought the business owner were the ladies and gentleman making the donuts. Maybe it's time to switch up the team for better results..

It was 10 min before closing & idk if the girls were just rushing to close down but one girl in particular had an attitude. There was a miscommunication / misunderstanding with the girl who took my coffee order (I had assumed the seasonal banana latte came with the foam as pictured & because she didn't ask if I wanted the foam, I didn't ask for it more-so bc she asked if I wanted the brittle on top). When they handed me my drink it was a plain banana latte with no foam or brittle. I was ignored when I tried calling for the barista until another girl followed up - however this girl had an attitude. She told me that I must not have ordered it since they ask at the register if I want foam with brittle. Explained they didn't ask. Instead she just said "sorry I'll let them know for next time". And walked away leaving me with my drink as is. Didn't offer any sort of resolution. I walked in and asked they could charge me extra for the foam. The same girl with the attitude remade my drink and handed it to me. No thank you, no sorry, nothing. First time experiencing this kind of service. Not sure if the girl is new but saw someone else share a similar experience couple days ago. Wish I would have asked for her name!

The orange flavor was phenomenal and I have no notes. We also got the strawberry donut and hot chocolate with almond milk, both obviously very good as well. It was my first time getting the hot chocolate and I was honestly surprised with how yummy it was. It was not too chocolatey and not too milky. It was the perfect balance and the perfect pairing with the donuts.

I had expected the business to be in a more high volume area, however a benefit of their corner spot was that the parking lot had plenty of spaces. There's no indoor seating, but outdoor tables were set up along the north and east perimeters of the building. I was by myself at this latest visit, and it was close to the end of the day so the inventory was quite depleted. There was no line at all which was not a surprise. The famous Strawberry Croissants and prepackaged items were on refrigerated display to the left when you walked in. As the service counter rounded a corner, there were more fresh baked goods on display before you reached a register. Across from the registers were shelves containing bags of fresh bread products. I bought a Strawberry Croissant, a Sticky Bun, a Ham and Cheese Croissant, and an Apple Croissant. The quality of the pastry dough was very good, and I could see why the Strawberry Croissant was a favorite with the customers. The croissants were light and flakey, and the powdered sugar added a delicate topping to the strawberry version. If I were to rate on just the Strawberry Croissant, then it would be five stars. My overall rating was downgraded because of the customer traffic flow. The lines can be optimized so that if you wanted to buy a six-pack of the Strawberry Croissants and/or anything prepackaged, then a separate queue should be arranged for those customers. The cafeteria trays were of limited use if you were not getting a large number of items. As you advanced in the queue, other products had to be requested from a worker behind the counter and then those were not placed on the tray. Ultimately, I think they can configure the operation to more efficiently handle the higher volume periods of the day.
