Excellent donut shop right next to 7-11. This is a prime example of a hard working mom and pop shop. Owner are super nice and friendly. Prices are still really cheap. And the donuts not only look Amazing but taste great. No grease later. Fluffy. Ham and cheese was nicely done. Needed a tad more cheese but overall really good. Nice texture. Spicy jalapeño. read more

This is a great place for delicious doughnuts at a reasonable price. The staff is helpful and they do a great job at keeping the place clean. They have a good variety of flavors (I personally lean towards cake doughnuts) and even have croissants and pastries. I am a huge fan of their of their soft and fluffy dough. The glaze and frostings are sweet and tasty. Great experience overall! read more

Loved their donuts!! Came here at 9pm at night because they were one of the few places open. They have a small parking lot shared with 7/11 next door so finding a spot was not an issue. When we went there were a couple of people ordering sandwiches ahead of us, it sounded good but we were full and just wanted a sweet treat. There was a small but decent selection of donuts to choose from and I'm not sure on pricing but I paid $10 for 6 donuts we chose from and they were all delicious! The best donut we tried was probably the chocolate chip bar with chocolate filling, it was not too sweet (remarked by the employee). I also really liked the sprinkle donut and maple bar... honestly you can't go wrong here! The donut texture is soft and seemed decently fresh. Overall I would definitely recommend and come back! Service was friendly, donuts were good and prices were not bad! read more

There are many donut places within a few miles of this one but I think Donut Star has the best donuts and sandwiches and they're open super late! The donuts are very affordable. However, if I recall correctly, they have a pretty high credit card minimum (relative to the low donut prices) which is pretty inconvenient. There's not much room for seating so think of this as more of a grab-and-go spot. read more

Small donut establishment in the center of Orange. It's located on the corner of Chapman and Batavia, next to 7-11. They have a large selection of items here and it's always busy. They have donuts, sandwiches, croissants, milk tea, etc. I usually get their croissant. My favorite one is ham and cheese. It's soft and flaky, with tons of ham and gooey cheese.

Stopped by on my way to work to grab a dozen or so donuts and was in and out in less than 5 minutes! Parking is pretty convenient since it's in a corner plaza, but it's cash only so that's the downside. I paid a little over $10 for a dozen donuts with a side of milk and 6 donut holes. Donut holes were nice and slightly airy which I loved. The icing was also consistent and not too over-glazed. I think its safe to say the donuts are pretty solid. Everyone seems to be raving about their breakfast sandwiches too, so I'll definitely have to stop by again one of these days to try it! read more

My all time favorite Donut Shop when I'm in Anaheim- I always look forward to coming here for my morning caffeine and of course my doughnut fix- mainly because the owners! I heart them!!! they are super friendly and over the few months that I've come they actually remember us! Customer service is awesome! They know their regulars and their "out of town"regulars too! They make the best blended frappe coffees -creamy and not too sweet. Variety of smoothies and Thai iced tea is perfect every time. Doughnuts are always fresh- the last couple times we've come the doughnuts were still warm. My raspberry filled was a perfect ratio of jelly to doughnut with a light coat of glaze. Come and support this mom and pop shop- just off of Chapman Ave off Harbor Blvd in the very 1st strip mall on the left - it's actually already Garden Grove on the GPS.. Thank you Donut Star!!!

Street parking and the nearby used to fill up quickly, but now that the area charges for parking, it's even more of a commitment when I'm already picking up a $6.50 coffee. I honestly wish they had a 10 minute pickup spot in front of the shop to make things a little easier. The shop is bright, cute, and very aesthetic, with a great collection of records lining the back. Finding a table can be tricky, especially when Chapman is in session since the seating fills up quickly. I also like that they have their coffee ready on tap and add specific customizations depending on what you order. I always get the Lovebirds, which only comes in large. It's a coffee oolong milk tea, which is a pretty unique combination. I like how it's strong, more coffee-forward, and less sweet than what you'd typically get at a boba shop. I do like coming here, but I have to have a good reason to spend time in the Circle when I know I'll be paying for parking. Otherwise, it can be a little hard to justify for just a coffee run.

Burrito tasted good and is quite large but you cant help but notice its mostly eggs and tater tots with not much meat. Since they charge a lot for the burrito its kind of hard to ignore.

We started with the pork buns with marinated pork belly . The pork was tender and flavorful, and the pickled onions added the perfect tanginess. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was another favorite. We also tried the chicken rice bowl, which came with juicy chicken thigh, soft-boiled egg and rice. Simple, but really satisfying. Of course, the star of the meal was the Shoyu Ramen. The 100% chicken broth with 2-year barrel-aged soy sauce had a deep, savory flavor, with pork chashu, bamboo, spinach and soft-boiled egg bringing everything together. To wash it all down, we had the Mint Cucumber Yuzunade super refreshing, bright, and citrusy, and a great balance to all the rich flavors.

The toppings were fresh, generous, and complemented the ramen beautifully. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was cozy, and the staff was welcoming and attentive. Service was quick, and everything arrived hot and fresh. The only minor downside is that the restaurant can be a bit challenging to find since it's located inside a business building. If you're visiting after 6:00 PM, you'll need to use the side entrance. If you're craving authentic, comforting ramen, this place is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

I have gone the past 2 years and never had issues getting it on the first day. This year was different. I got there around 5:05 and walked into the shop to see a lot of tables empty. I was shocked to see that. I waited in line with maybe like two people in front of me and guess what they asked of Pliny was still available. The guy working said to the people in front of me that they sold out. It was my turn I asked if they had it and the guy said that they had a line since 3pm and that they sold out of the keg. We ended up getting two beers since we went anyways but that's when things didn't add up. He kept telling all the other people that started to show up the same thing. These are reasons why it didn't add up 1) empty seats inside but had a line since 3pm and beer was released at 4pm 2) I don't think the people going for younger would just order one beer and not try other RR beers? 3) only one guy working beer counter and having to clean the tables and make sandwiches? 4) 12 oz pours of beer and keg with about 1984 oz would make it 166 beers. No way they sold 166 beers in an hour with one person working the bar and shop empty in an hour. They could have posted on their instagram or socials that they sold out but failed to do so. I'm sure a lot of people all night were disappointed to see that they didn't have it or post anything about it.

Donut Star is hands down one of the best donut spots in Orange County. The donuts are always fresh, soft, and packed with flavor, and the service is consistently friendly every time I come in. You can tell they really care about quality and keeping customers happy. The glazed donuts are amazing, and their breakfast sandwiches are underrated too. Perfect spot for a quick morning stop or late-night snack. The location is in the corner of a tiny shopping center, so it's a no-frills. Kind of ambience. Definitely a 5-star local favorite. read more

Walked into this donut shop today after seeing a sign of smoothie and needing to refresh, I was greeted by this lady and asked about the smoothies and right away she started recommending other things like Boba and cold tea, so at the end I ended up getting the Thai tea, wow this was mind blowing, I never had tea like this before cause I thought tea was for old people but so seriously good. Excellent service and lots of choices here. I highly recommend this spot... read more

The setup is simple; walk up to the window, place your order, and try not to get distracted by the display case packed with donuts that look like they belong in a bakery competition. The employees inside were ready to answer any questions and worked diligently to get orders processed. There are a handful of outdoor tables if you want to enjoy your treats there, but be warned that it can get busy in the morning. After one visit here it's easy to understand why. What really sets them apart is their willingness to get creative. They have the classics, but the adventurous specialty donuts are where the magic happens. I tried the Girl Scout inspired Samoa donut, and it absolutely delivered. A soft, pillowy donut with a rich chocolate-coated bottom, topped with a generous layer of caramel and coconut. The flavors were balanced deliciously. The chocolate added depth, the caramel brought just enough buttery sweetness, and the coconut gave it texture and a slightly nutty finish. Best of all, it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Going back for this one soon! If coconut is not your thing, but you enjoy chocolate and whip cream I recommend the whipped cream stuffed chocolate Long John. The chocolate icing had a nice cocoa flavor without being overly sweet, while the whipped cream filling was light, airy, and pleasantly smooth. What really stood out though was the donut itself because it was soft, fluffy, and fresh. The freshness was obvious from the first bite. The donut had that perfect texture--light and airy inside while still substantial enough to hold all of those toppings. It managed to feel indulgent without becoming heavy. Even the atmosphere here adds to the experience. Standing outside with a fresh donut and coffee in hand while watching the steady stream of customers come and go gives you the feeling that you've discovered a local favorite rather than a chain trying to imitate one. If you're the type who usually grabs a plain glazed donut and moves on, this is the place that might convince you to branch out. Between the creative flavors, fresh ingredients, and consistently delicious execution, it's easy to see why people line up in the morning. Some donuts satisfy a craving, these donuts create one!

We went to their grand opening earlier today and are really happy that we made the drive out from Long Beach for it. We ordered a dozen donuts to share with friends. We ordered two of the coconut whip, two of the blueberry, two of the nutella, two of the peanut butter crunch, two of the apple pie filled, and two of the oreo flavor. So far we've tried the coconut whip and the blueberry flavor. We really liked the coconut whip as it has a light coconut flavor. We also really appreciated that the donuts are light and fluffy. Both of us strongly prefer yeast donuts over cake donuts, so we were happy campers. We also ordered 3 drinks to try. We ordered a strawberry Italian soda, mango chamoyada, and a caramel macchiato. The drinks were also really good and sweetened to our liking. Service was great and everyone was friendly. The space is small but very cute and colorful.
