    A little kiosk located within Universal Studios Florida. The food is your typical theme park donuts with a few variety such as sprinkles that are supposed to be like the lard lad Donuts from The Simpsons as well as chocolate donuts and regular vanilla donuts. The whole get up about this location is that you are buying it while you are immersed within Springfield which is where the Simpsons live. The donuts are very generic however they do offer a large land size which runs you the cost of roughly $10 and can easily feed you and a couple friends for a quick snack while you're at the parks. These aren't your typical flavored donuts, they have more of a cake base to it so don't go thinking you are about to bite into a typical donut. They are fluffier. The flavor is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion and every time I have come here they are insanely soft and super fresh! Definitely one of the snacks that I have to get every single time I'm here! I absolutely adore the flavor of the frosting because it isn't too sweet and it gives it the nice sweetness to the donut as you bite into it. The sprinkles are quite literally the best topping and the nice little crunch rounds out the entire body of the flavor making it perfect in my opinion! The staff is very friendly however I have noticed that towards the end of the day you can kind of tell they are getting fatigued from working all day however that has never stopped them from serving me with a smile on their face which always makes me happy to stop here as well! They also offer sodas to go along with the absolutely succulent Donuts that they sell!

    This is a spot in the park worth stopping by to grab a huge donut with pink frosting and sprinkles. The lady at the counter was super nice and she had a stock of individually boxed giant donuts ready to sell. We were not expecting much of a quality donut but I must admit that the donut was pretty tasty. Since I am a huge Simpsons fan, I didn't mind paying $12 for one giant donut. This is not a sit down spot but more of a kiosk stand with few order to go windows. There are some benches and tables around in case you would like to take a break.

    I have been eyeing this spot since we became pass holders in October of last year, and finnallyyyy, we tried the Big Pink donut on my birthday. Surprisingly, it was REALLY GOOD. Not dry, the perfect sweetness... HUGE and absolutely shareable. When I go back to the park with my family, we will get this over and over and over again.

    Can we disappointed in this location? The one in California has way more selection of donuts, but the donuts are still really tasty. What they have that this one does have soft serve ice cream, which is really good but overall, I wish they had more of the selection of donuts that the California one has.

    I love doughnuts so I couldn't help myself from getting the big pink! (It's as big as advertised!) I tried to eat it my myself but I'll for sure have leftovers. It was a quick service stand and the service was quick as advertised. You're outside by the lake enjoying the florida weather inside Simpsons land so ambiance is fun! Pro tip if you want a big pink and there's a line at lard land you can get a big pink at Kwik-e-mart

    This is a stand at Universal Studios in Orlando. We always make sure to get one of the pink donuts here! They are massive and one of the best donuts we've ever had! They also started offering ice cream donut desserts since we've been here years ago. ***Make sure to get one right away when they open or wait in line to ensure you get a fresh one! Also... eat it right away or the icing melts off and not as good.

    Lard Lad is such a awesome Quick service!!!! They are always fresh that day and delicious. The Big Pink and Apple Fritter are $7 but huge!!!!! You could easily Split one of these with three people. They also have a donut and ice cream sundae combo that is a bowl of soft serve with a donut on top. This stand also accepts certain Passholder discounts!!!! Definitely give them a try when you're in Universal Orlando.

    Mmmm Donuts! (Sadly it was not mmmm tasty lol)

    Bought the humongous pink donut for $9 and some change because my teens insisted on it. I don't understand the hype. Basic, dry as a desert pink donut with sprinkles, and the workers that was there on 12/20 were kinda rude -_- as if the customers wanting donuts were a burden. I forgot to take photos of the Apple fritter- that was a disappointment as well. I couldn't taste the apples or cinnamon in it. The cookies n cream D'oh nut were pretty tasty, however. Love the photo op with Chief Wiggum in the front.

    My child has been waiting years and years to get back here to try the giant donut! The last time we visited Lard Lad we tried the smaller donuts. They were delicious! If you want a nice, fresh donut without purchasing the larger portion, I highly recommend getting some of the smaller ones! They are pretty amazing and worth the calories. The Oreo donut is simply delish! The cereal ones as well. This time we got the huge donuts. Sooo worth it! They come in a huge box, so they are very portable. Do not forget to ask for forks so you can eat them easily. These donuts also tasted very fresh. We took ours back to the hotel and had a hard time finishing such large portions even after a few days. Right now they cost $7.99, not too bad considering the size. Be aware the line here can get very long. I was here during Spring Break and the parks hit capacity, so we waited. If you do not want to wait you can purchase the large donuts in the Quicky Mart, but the kids wanted theirs from the donut cart with the fun photo opps. Universal goals for next time would be to get the donut ice cream sundae!

    uncooked still doughy..

    i've bought some of the big doughnuts from here no problem typically the chocolate and pink ones and today when i was eating the pink doughnut i realized it is still doughy/uncooked in the middle hopefully i don't get sick off of it..

    Ok it looks like I'm going to be messing up the average ratings here but this was disappointing! As a die hard Simpsons fan, I was super excited to try Homer's favorite doughnut place. As a doughnut lover myself, I've had my fair share of doughnut experiences. From Krispy Kreme to Dunkin Donuts, I believe I know my doughnuts. The place didn't even meet up to Dunkin Donut standards. The famous pink Doughnut didn't taste like anything special. I was expecting it to be similar to the strawberry frosted doughnut at Dunkin. It didn't even come close. The other doughnuts we tried weren't great either. Not to mention, the doughnuts are overpriced! Almost 8 dollars for one. Granted they are big though. The only thing I can say is it makes for great pictures but not great taste.

    (Dined 03/04/20 WE @ 12:00pm): This lad's arse was feeling pretty lard after eating this ginormous donut! On the grounds of Universal Studios Resort Orlando (Universal Studios Florida to be exact), I had to drag my travel friend along to Lard Lad Donuts for a gigantic snack and its iconic Big Pink Donut from the animated series "The Simpsons" fame. I loved donuts - apple fritters to be exactly - but as a tourist I had to get this massive pastry. Did this donut have any merit or was it totally for show!? PURCHASE The Big Pink Donut ($7.49): This giant donut with sweet, creamy thick fluorescent pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles was a sight to behold, be held, and be eaten with all the childlike giddy tendencies you could muster. The pink frosting was layered on thick yet didn't crackle off which was a good thing while the actual breading was more dense than airy fluffy as I'd hoped, and I wished there were more rainbow sprinkles for complete coverage. A fun "meal" but could've been better https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=bWGb5pG-ZXX3cUN-0hbekg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE I was greeted by a middle-aged somewhat curmudgeon woman who wasn't in the mood for any pleasantries which I found odd. And when asked if they had the apple fritter, she vehemently retorted, "we have had those for over a week now!" Furthermore, unlike the Hollywood location where they had several donut types to choose from, these were the only options here. Anyway, I got my donut, paid up, and walked over to a nearby bench to grub down. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) General parking for the massive theme park started from $25.00, but my friend and I took a Lyft ride in and skirted parking altogether. Also, I believed if you stayed at any of the resorts in the area, shutter services were available. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Truly a wooden shack the size of a large storage room with only a walk-up order/pick up window with barely enough room to fit two individuals inside let alone any available refreshments, you ventured nearby for a table to enjoy your purchase or walked with it. A very legible price menu was placed on a window where you ordered https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X5O3iXgEh_6LOp-BDBpvBg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting since you were outdoors while various electric light poles covered the rest. There were no TVs while the whirling sounds of conversations, rides, etc., filled the air. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xXV3yG5MFsznzsM8Tflg-g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL If you visited Universal Studios Resort Orlando (specifically the Universal Studios Florida park portion) and were a fan of "The Simpsons", then you definitely had to seek out Lard Lad Donuts for the experience of a giant donut to be eaten proudly while seen by others. Sure, this was 100% a marketing tool (my career has been in marketing for over 25 years!) because the donut wasn't amazing yet still fun to eat. But in my case, I was actually excited about the prospects of the apple fritter which they were out of. I'd go back again for merely shits-and-giggles and another cool photo op https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=B0x7IK4f4JP6QWD5Yta6Cg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $8.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 3.0 STARS

    4/5, December 2021. We probably wouldn't have bothered with this if our bartender at the neighboring Duff Brewery hadn't recommended it. The large "pink donut" was quite good. Not the best I've ever had but excellent for the fare that you usually see at theme parks. I think was about $8 which is a lot for a donut, but again, given that you are at a theme park and it's actually pretty good, seemed like a decent deal at the time. You can easily share one between a few people with everyone getting a good taste.

    Tried Café Maiko in downtown Orlando and really enjoyed it. The matcha is high-quality and smooth…read more-- I got the Hojicha drink and it had a nice roasted flavor that's different from regular matcha. What stands out is how many unique and interesting options they have: pistachio foam lattes, banana pudding matcha, pumpkin spice floats, lychee spritz, melon floats, taiyaki, shaved ice, and creative soft-serve parfaits. The menu is huge with lots of fun twists. The shop has a clean, modern vibe with good seating. Service was friendly and quick. If you like matcha or want something beyond basic drinks, this is a great spot. Definitely worth checking out in downtown Orlando! Will be back to try more items

This time I got to try a seasonal item, Pistachio foam matcha latte and I was in obsessed! Their black sesame latte is also always delicious. I don't usually go 100% sugar on my drinks but this time I did and the sugar level was just the right amount to me. Front desk is friendly and they offer fast service with not too long of a wait for our drinks to be made. Inside has few seating but enough for a fast turnaround of visitors. Parking is very limited in the back, but there is street parking available.
