A PORTLAND DREAM in HOLLYWOOD! I can FINALLY take this donut shop off my to-do list. It's been a hassle trying to stop by because every time I'm near, I'm on a time crunch to get to Universal Studios lol. Thankfully, I had time before FanFest to wait in line and purchase a few of the Scooby Doo donut exclusives and Voodoo's signature treats. My favorite, hands down is the Portland Dream. It's a Bavarian crème filled donut with chocolate on top. It's perfection in every way, The Dirt was a close second. The chocolate, breading, and portions were excellent. The Scooby donuts were mid-tier but still solid. It's a bit hot-pink spooky inside and there's very limited seating (and space for that matter). I wouldn't suggest eating inside as there's only two small circular tables available. Merch is plentiful and good quality. The decor is very Louisiana-style with a mix of coffeehouse vibes. Staff were AMAZING, they went the extra mile to help me find my perfect donut. Overall, I'll be back. I stuffed my face with three large donuts, that's how much I enjoyed my time here. read more

I would give them 3.5 stars, but it's a fun shop, so I bumped up. You come to Voodoo for the fun donuts - yes they're pricey, but you know everything has a surcharge on the city walk and these donuts are over the top. The voodoo bar is filled with raspberry filling - just the bottom 2/3 is filled (like where the green swirl is), but it is super filled! I really liked the flavor. Solid chocolate bar overall. The vicious hibiscus is sweet, with a tang. I really like it. The Memphis mafia was not as good as I was hoping for. It's dry for a fritter. But still fun nonetheless read more

Know going in that this place is pricey and worth every penny. Sometimes there is a line, but it moves fast. The service is wonderful. They know about all they have. They even have vegan donuts, I did not try any so I can not offer my opinion. This one is right in Universal City and you can eat them outside, but we were finally leaving the area and took them home. My daughter said the cake donut with the chocolate icing was the best she ever had. How would I know she ate half and gave my husband the other half. The glazed donuts were perfect and we loved the plain donut. All of them are good. We got a nice selection. The place is clean and super cute. They sell all kinds of merch, that I don't want, but a tourist might. They have really cute stuff. read more

Voodoo Doughnut at Universal was a convenient stop, and the doughnut itself was really good. The only downside was the customer service. The staff seemed to be in a rush, which made the experience feel less welcoming. read more

Love voodoo donuts! They have a ton of vegan options that are indicated with a "V" on the menu. When I have been to a different location in the past I remember they had vegan and non-vegan versions of the same flavor and you had to specify, but now I believe they just offer one version of each flavor, many of which are vegan by default. I got the voodoo doll which was delicious! Tasted pretty fresh and was quite large too. The girl who took my order was really nice. read more

After having a long day at universal I really wanted a doughnut from here. They have a large variety of donuts. Although they might be unhealthy, they are very tasty and worth the calories for me. They have a very cute storefront with some tables on the inside and some on the outside. The staff was friendly and patient with us while we decided what we wanted. They have some donut on display so you can get an idea of how they look like. Our order got prepared pretty quick and we decided to sit outside while we enjoyed our donuts. read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Universal City - Donuts Near Me - Universal City, California

I've been to the OG location in Portland and these doughnuts taste just as good! Do not be detoured by the line, if there is one, it moves very fast and there are menus everywhere for you to scope out before your order. If it's your first time here, I highly suggest getting their namesake and get a Voodoo Doll doughnut. I love jelly doughnuts and this is a raspberry-filled and chocolate-frosted treat. That has a pretzel stake through its heart. Delish! The bacon maple bar and the apple fritter are always a must order. They are a little pricer than other doughnut shops, but well worth if you ask me. Love the staff here and they also have some great merch, so why not buy a t-shirt?! read more

I've heard of Voodoo Doughnut, but I don't think I've ever eaten at one before. Sad that I haven't tried until now, this place is pretty damn good. The dough is nicely sweet, airy with a good density to the breading. After frying, the edges became crispy, with a delightful and tasty chew. And the shop itself has a wide variety on their menu with an started impressive assortment of combinations and flavors. We started with the Diablos Rex, a very rich, chocolate donut with a pentagram design on top. It was soft, gooey, and the chunks of chocolate in the center made for an overall delicious treat. We liked it so much, we came back the next day for a box to take home to the family. Bacon Maple Bar - Pretty basic, but not a bad blend of salty and sweet flavors. Peanut Cake - An impressive layer of crumbled nuts across the top, good take on a classic. ODB - Oreo cookies and peanut butter? Yes, please! Little Pink - Strong strawberry flavor made my daughter very happy. So, very good donuts, and the cost isn't too prohibitive. I have to say, if we ever come back to Universal, heading back here after every visit is likely in the cards. read more

Let me start by saying something controversial: I don't even like donuts. So walking into Voodoo was already an uphill battle. Neon pink boxes. Goth-circus branding. Bacon on maple bars like it's a personality trait. It's loud, chaotic, and aggressively quirky--like Hot Topic and a sugar refinery had a child. I tried. I really did. The donuts look like they were designed by a committee of 12-year-olds hopped up on soda. Cereal on top. Candy bars shoved into frosting. Marshmallows glued on like a kindergarten art project. It's not pastry--it's edible decoration. And taste? Sugar. More sugar. Then a faint whisper of dough under the avalanche. Texture-wise, it's dense. Not ethereal. Not delicate. Not "worth the insulin spike." Just heavy, sweet dough trying to survive beneath a layer of frosting thick enough to patch drywall. I get it. It's an Instagram thing. You hold the pink box. You pose. You post. You move on. But if you're expecting transcendent pastry? Something that melts in your mouth and makes you rethink carbs? This isn't that. This is spectacle. If you love donuts, maybe you'll find joy in the chaos. If you're donut-neutral like me? It's a sugar parade with a drumline and no melody. read more

Voodoo Doughnut is a little nuts. After waiting in an unnecessarily long line due to having one person at the register and another one at the beverage counter, these people are slow. The one in L. A. Next to Pinks is better. I don't know why they cut back on workers at the expense of their customers. The donuts were not bad, it's a donut with extra variety flavor sugar toppings. Depending on the. A dozen donuts you choose from will cost you a minimum of $ 36.00. I will say it's overpriced and the donuts even though it's spelled Doughnuts they taste like most fresh DONUTS. Overall not bad but won't go out of my way for it. I've been to one other location, one person in front went fast. The opposite is true here. read more

Donuts are huge and really sweet. Walked by here one night after dinner. Tried to ask what looked like a manager about their donuts. Trying to get her opinion on best sellers or what's her favorite. She walk pretty rude and dismissive and didn't want to talk. Not sure if she thought I was going to ask if I could come in. I had planned to visit the store in the morning and not be a jerk and try to weasel my way in at closing. Her attitude definitely could've been better. She we came in the morning after, the staff were more pleasant and very accommodating to questions about the products and flavors of donuts they sold. Place was small. Had 1 table inside and I believe 1 outside for seating. Donut was good. Really soft just really sweet. read more

After a fun-filled day at Universal Studios Hollywood, we passed by Voodoo Donuts on our way back to our car. We popped inside to check it out and ended up leaving with a box of fancy donuts. The shop has a LOT of pink decor, mixed with other vibrant colors everywhere you look. But the main draw here are the donuts, of course. Voodoo Donuts has SO many crazy elaborate donuts with just about anything you could want on a donut. Frosting, sprinkles, coconut, peanuts, peanut butter, bananas, cookies, candies, you name it, they got it. They even have one with cayenne pepper and a chili pepper on it. The staff was friendly and very efficient, the long line moved quickly, and we really enjoyed every one of our donuts over the next couple days. If you're in the Universal Studios Citywalk area, you gotta check out Voodoo Donuts. read more

Voodoo Doughnuts was a real SWEET experience!! We've been on a strict nutrition plan and so Voodoo Doughnuts, we broke the rules FOR YOU. Feeling exclusive? :) We did. You didn't disappoint. We had the banana chocolate doughnut which were highly recommended through friends all the way in North Carolina!! This doughnut, this location... we've waited since September to try this on our visit in November. Hot establishment, loved the esthetic... loved our doughnut... well worth the alleged 800 calories to split this bad boy. Yum. Great staff. Also great marketing!! We left universal studios at 1am from Halloween Horror nights and there y'all had a stand outside to buy like a dozen of them. I was tempted!! But we wanted exclusive and fresh, and that's what we got. Great experience from Paso Robles, we are glad you aren't closer because we'd be there way too much but we also see what we are missing. Expect us back each year!! Cheers!! read more

If you're looking for a sweet, post-universal studios snack, this spot is a solid choice. It was really slow on a Monday night and service was friendly and quick. They have over 30 donut options to choose from, all with eclectic flavors and toppings. I went with a classic pink sprinkle, called the Little Pink which is anything but small. The frosting had great flavor but the donut itself was a bit dry. Could've been due to the fact they were closing in about an hour. The prices are about what you would expect being located on City Walk, paid around $10 for 3 donuts. The inside of the store has awesome decor and the donuts definitely make for a perfect social media post. It's great to come here after visiting the park and try something new! read more

Been couple years since tried in PDX, so just had to get again when at Universal. Super clean inside, and super friendly young man at the counter. There were racks of different donuts just behind the counter. I think maybe donuts here maybe fresher than PDX. We got the bacon maple bar, maple bar, and glazed old fashioned. The bacon maple bar with it's salty sweet combo still hits. ($5.50) Buttermilk bar was kinda too sweet for me. ($?) Glazed old fashioned ($2.50) was my personal favorite, since I'm a KISS keep it simple stupid type of a person. Basic done right, that's all I need. The Universal gold annual pass presented knocked 15% off the prices too. read more

There is no voodoo going on here at voodoo doughnut because this is the most delicious doughnut place in studio city!! Voodoo always impressed with their unique selections, delicious doughy bites and kind staff members. I think I'm always surprised how little these doughnuts cost. Just over $3, that beats anywhere in town for a *specialty* doughnut. That's two for the price of one in Silverlake at least! Also, you can use your Universal discount here as well. I think our doughnut came out to $2.95 which is insane!! This vibe here is so cute, punk rock, fun, and uplifting, it's like the best thing ever too when there's little to no line! It's not a coincidence that there's always a decent line here - the doughnuts slap! They're always fresh and make everyone happy. I love getting a doughnut before going into the movie theater!! It's the best. Side note: Daegan is the best and deserves all the phrases in the world! He's a gem! The best voodoo doughnut has!! read more

I have to be a hipster and say the first time I visited Voodoo Doughnuts was in Portland Oregon. It was fantastic. So was this location! No lines, no swarms of people, just a peaceful Wednesday. I ordered the PB&J and the Mango Tango. Both were delish, but mostly can't stop thinking about the Mango Tango. There is a sour powder on top that adds a kick of fun deliciousness. I wish I could take a bite out of each doughnut. I'd do that for you, yelp. read more

During my time at Universal Studios, I knew this was a place I definitely wanted to check out! I was there near closing so they did not have much selection left, but the cashier was kind to explain which ones to try out.

I recommend going first thing when they open and the donuts are fresh! 8/10 recommend! read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Universal City - Fruit Loop Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Universal City, California

This is definitely a must every time we visit! Such unique doughnuts and so deliciously fluffy. We like to check out their limited time ones and really the only time we buy anything just so we can try it! This is located in CityWalk at Universal Studios Hollywood by the Chocolate Emporium (old Hard Rock location). This place used to get super busy with lines out the door. I'm sure they still have that every now and then but the last few times we've visited, we walked right up to order which was great! I absolutely love their maple bacon which you can find at a bunch of doughnut shops nowadays but it's always a must for me. They also have monthly specials so be sure to ask when you visit! It's a strawberry shortcake one right now (July 2025). The size of the doughnuts are pretty big too so it honestly feels like you're getting your money's worth. They have a few seats inside and some outside but I feel like most people take it home or eat upstairs in the food court, if you really want a table and chair. Looking forward to trying it! Awesome place and definitely worth trying!! IG: @ammysalamii read more

Voodoo Doughnut is a famous doughnut chain founded in Portland (Oregon) in 2003. I decided to visit this location at Universal CityWalk this past weekend. To eat, I ordered an ODB, which comes topped with Oreo cookie crumbles and peanut butter drizzle. Priced around $5, this definitely isn't the cheapest doughnut in town. Overall, I thought the doughnut was A-OK. I'm not in a rush to come back, but I'm happy I tried it. read more

Voodoo Doughnut - Universal City - Donuts Near Me - Universal City, California

Been here several times and I've experienced highs and lows at this location. Lows: some of the doughnuts are overly oily and I can taste the oil. What does "taste the oil" mean? For me, it means the oil [used for frying the doughnuts] is not fresh and/or clean; it leaves a funky taste that overpowers everything. 2nd: some of the doughnuts are so darn sweet. Yes, I'm aware that doughnuts are supposed to be sweet but some of the doughnuts crazy sweet. Highs: the Maple Bacon Bars are the best (a bit too sweet but still my favorite). The selection of doughnuts is pretty extensive and a plus if you're into trying new flavors and varieties. This location is very clean and organized. They have a decent selection of merch. They have a couple of tables/chairs inside the store. Staff has been very patient when purchasing doughnuts and attentive when boxing the doughnuts. My other favorite was one of the February flavors, Limoncello Bombolone They have a couple of specials throughout the week (go through Universal Studios page for list of specials) and they do offer annual pass discounts (universal studios AP). Overall, I will still frequent this business and encourage you to give them a try. read more

Voodoo Doughnut at Universal CityWalk is such a fun experience from the moment you walk up. The building alone is super cool and totally eye-catching in Pink and the whole place has amazing, quirky vibes. It definitely feels like more than just a donut shop.... it's part of the CityWalk experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, answering all my questions without making me feel rushed. With so many wild and creative options to choose from, I appreciated their patience! I also couldn't resist grabbing one of their cool tote bags! They have so much fun merch to choose from. It's hard not to leave with something extra. The Grape Ape donut is my absolute favorite. It's very grape-forward and definitely on the sweeter side, but in the best way. It pairs perfectly with a glass of ice-cold milk. If you love bold flavors and a fun atmosphere, Voodoo Doughnut is a must-stop when you're at Universal CityWalk! read more

They have all kinds of specialty donuts and flavors. So we like to explore new flavors. However I'm always most pleased with the apple fritter, the maple bar, and the glaze donut. Just give me the basics because their dough is solid and always perfect. It's crispy on the outside while pillowy on the inside. However the specialty flavors are VERY sweet and a little overwhelming for my taste buds. Also the flavorings have a bit of a bitter artificial after taste. It's not bad, and most people probably won't mind it. But I prefer something make simple. If you're wondering where to park it's on the opposite end of CityWalk from the theme park. Parking in Curious George or ET will get you the closest. But even if you park in Jurassic, you won't be that far and you'll get to walk and see more of CityWalk. Voodoo is right across from Toothsome's Chocolate restaurant. read more

On my way to Universal Studios I was overcome with a violent donut craving which Voodoo doughnuts was thankfully prepared to fulfill. I used to go to the Portland locations when I was in college but hadn't been to the one here. The place is massive with the same hot pink quirky vibes of the original. There was no line as it was relatively early in the day. I already know I'm not into the fruit loop type ones so I got a chocolate donut and the hibiscus donut and split with a friend. I really like both a lot. The texture of the dough is so good, it's light without being insubstantial. Not dry. The glazes are the perfect level of sweet. I was really into the tanginess of the hibiscus. I'm overall glad I live 45 minutes away and that parking is expensive otherwise I'd be at risk of coming back often. read more

So, Voodoo Doughnuts, a statue at Universal City Walk, originated in Portland, Oregon. Is a eclectic donut shop with creative donuts, a unique vibe and merch you can purchase. Staff is always friendly as well, and even though they're is generally a line that does it the door, especially on weekends, the line moves fairly quickly. Now, the donuts. They are known for their whimsical take on donuts and pairings of ingredients you won't find at your normal donut shop. Things like the Voodoo Doll, Churro cheesecake, Strawberry go tart, old dirt bastard, oh Captain, my captain topped with Captain Crunch cereal, etc. All very interesting and a fun take on their version of a donut. I would say one of the big downsides, for me, is that they are overly sweet. Personally, I can generally eat half a donut there and I'm done from the sweetness level. Just very rich. Even something you may not think would be overly sweet, like the maple bar with bacon, still has a high sugar level in the frosting. As a recommendation, if you're going to eat a donut here, have something to drink to wash it down. Overall, creative donut location with friendly staff at City Walk with fun donuts, just far to sweet for my liking. Definitely have something to drink to wash down the sweetness if you're grabbing some donuts here. read more
