I don't get it. Is this the same Donut Star chain as the one off of Alton in Irvine? If it is, it does not have the same quality or offerings. The donuts here do not taste fresh. They taste like they've been there overnight or sitting out all day. Compared to the donuts from the Alton location, this place is sad. There are far fewer choices at this location. They don't offer cronut holes like the other location. I don't even think they make any donuts fresh on site. I don't know why anyone would come unless you live around here as there are no other donut shops around. I'm not a fan of this place and recommend going to the Alton location instead.

i went here with a friend and i can say the donuts were sweet and delicious. it was a little dry but it doesn't bother me much. the worker was very nice and friendly. donuts were amazing and there was lots of variety there; old fashioned, frosted, apple fritter, sprinkles, twists, crossiants and more

a variety of donuts in a box

Came in around 8 and they had plenty of options! Got a dozen donuts and it was around $13. The donuts were fresh and really good! Would definitely come again!

Glazed for dayz

If you want any semblance of choice in your donut, you'd have to arrive by 830a. I came at 915 once and had choice of white sprinkle cake donut or white sprinkle cake donut. So I got the white sprinkle cake donut and it was delicious, the better slightly lemony (a lovely surprise!). On another day I managed to swing by at 845 and they still had several options! So I grabbed a glazed donut, and it was large and delicious. A solid donut shop that rewards the early birds.

Cronuts! Donut holes.

My new donut place!! Love the selections and always taste fresh! Cronuts are awesome here (though a bit of a splurge). Fast, friendly service every time I go! They offer online ordering, too, which is super convenient (but watch the cut-off time for placing them). I ordered a dozen donut variety online and it was packaged and ready for pick up by the requested time. The donuts they picked were great, too - a variety and not just the same things. Check this place out!

Not many blueberries in my blueberry muffin
Emily J.

We got muffins, not donuts. $1.75 each for a decent sized muffin, but they were just okay. A little on the dense, chewy side. I was in there around 7:30 am on a weekday, and I have to say I was a little surprised at the lack of selection in donuts (and muffins). The shelves looked half empty. My other complaint is that the employee was not friendly at all. No hello, no smile. Friendliness goes a long way and probably would have made my experience better.

If you live in North Irvine, Donut Star is the place to go. It's the kind of local place where you can grab some sweet treats and run into friends. PRICE: $8.50/dozen. More for the fancier donuts. Credit cards allowed for orders of $5 or more. VARIETY: You're not going to find bacon donuts or anything really out there or avant garde at Donut Star but you will find all the classics - sprinkles, twists, maple bars, jelly filled, etc. YEAST DONUTS: The yeast donuts are nice and fluffy just as they should be. Solid choice but not spectacular. CAKE DONUTS: Donut Star's cake donuts stand out. I've never had a problem with them being dry. My favorite is the blueberry donut, which basically tastes like a fried blueberry muffin. Sure, it's probably from some kind of industrial mix but they sure are tasty. SERVICE: Always quick and friendly.

Sold me bad OJ (that exploded when opening it) and made me pay the difference for apple juice. What happened to customer service?

Oliboli Donuts - Spring box

Honestly one of the best donut places I've encountered recently. Best when hot though (which is…read morealways). They turn into just above average donuts after they cool down. But after trying Oliboli I have to ask myself why doesn't everybody do this? This is ingenious. If you wondered why Krispy Kreme was so popular when the "hot donuts" sign is on - this is donuts taken to another level. FOOD: Donuts are terrific. Even cooled down they still are tasty but definitely go down a level. Had the chocolate which is very dark chocolate like instead of a milk chocolate so if you don't like a more bitter chocolate then maybe go a different direction. Also had the dutch apple pie and that was AMAZING! So many of them look good. They rotate flavors so you won't see the same ones every time. SERVICE: Really nice. Very helpful and patient and they get the donuts out pretty quickly. Everyone there had smiles on their faces and sure it costs a bit more but the portion size is huge. One donut will do ya! COST: Again more than your average donut place but you certainly get your money's worth! Would highly recommend.

Been here one or two times before and decided to finally write a review this time!…read more Parking looks hard to find initially but the parking lot actually wraps around the buildings all the way to the back so there are plenty of spots. When you enter, they have a display case that shows what each donut they offer looks like. You order and pay at the counter, give them your name, and find a seat while you wait for them to call out your name. There's always a little bit of a wait for your donuts because they fry them all fresh! The dough they use is also similar to a sourdough, so the taste and texture is so unique. They have their standard/permanent flavors as well as seasonal/rotating ones. My friends and I shared the Banoffee ($7.95), Pumpkin Pie ($8.95), Pumpkin Glazed ($5.75), and Bumbleberry Glazed ($5.50). Each donut is hefty so sharing is the way to go. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried them before. You won't be disappointed!

Their baked goods are handcrafted to perfection and are always soft, fresh & delicious. It's easy to see why they're considered one of the best bakeries in Irvine. Whether you're in the mood for a classic donut, a muffin or one of their fancy cronuts, Mag's has something for everyone. Everything is made fresh daily, with the perfect balance of softness and sweetness. You can really taste the quality in every bite. My kids and I love getting a mix of donut holes ~ glazed, sprinkled, and blueberry are our favs. They're the perfect lil sweet treat any time of the day, especially when they're fresh. I didn't even realize Mag's had a Culver location! It's conveniently located in the University Park Center, and since I was grabbing an açaí bowl a few doors down with my son, we decided to stop in. The shop itself is SUPER small & basic, making it more of a grab-and-go spot. There is outdoor seating if you want to relax and soak up a lil sunshine. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick. Whether you're picking up a morning treat for the fam, bringing donuts to the office, or simply treating yourself, Mag's Donuts & Bakery is definitely worth a visit. We'll definitely be back when we need to satisfy our donut cravings!

Their boba is really good and flavorful let alone refreshing perfect for the hot summer.

I will come back because I eat to try their Dubai strawberries and see what the hype is about. All and all this place is pretty good. Spacious and has a very friendly welcoming. Oh and have I mentioned they have a lot of Filipino inspired drinks ! THAT IS 100% AMAZING ! I love that they have Taho on their menu !

Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. My husband and I really loved the boba. But at 100% sweet, the drink was wayyy too sweet that we had to dilute it with water. Next time I would get half sweet. It had a very nice black tea flavor that shone through which is unique from other boba shops.
