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.

Voodoo bar

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

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?!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love Voodoo Donuts! My favorite is the Voodoo Doll donut. I get to play with my delicious donut before I eat it. Service is efficient and nice. The decor is great for photo ops. I love the colorful displays, art and donuts.

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.

Went yesterday and had the best interaction with the employee Cesar! He was so friendly , helped my cousin pick out her donut when she was indecisive & was SOO funny. We really enjoyed our interaction with him, the shop felt clean & had good energy! Thank you Cesar!

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!!

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!

Had to come here to try out their desserts I had previously been to the Texas location, which was incredible This place did not disappoint. It was a lot smaller, but everything was decorated. Super cute. Staff was so helpful and kind service was incredibly quick too. It was a really nice slow day. We got a box for the family and each donut was so big. You really get great quality product for the money you're paying my personal favorite was the stuffed chocolate doughnut it was fluffy light and the perfect amount of chocolate.

Is there a charging outlet here?

No :(

Hi do you do special orders? Looking to get about 3 dozen donuts would love a vegan dozen also I'm looking for mini donuts l, do you have minis I would prefer all the orders minis- it's for a baby shower! This Sunday July 24,"th

You'll just have to go there and get in line to place your order

Can I place a phone order and have it picked up the next day?

Yes you can call a at least a day ahead and get any dozen or a custom center piece donut as anything you would like or a custom design (within reason of stock)

Can I order on Friday, April 30 and have somebody pick up close to closing time on May 1?

You would need to contact the store directly for that information.

Will delivery be an option soon?

Hello. At this time, delivery is not an option. Please continue checking back for updates!

Is Voodoo open for pickup during lockdown?

Yes but only for takeout

How late do u guys stay open during HHN? And are the lines super crazy at that time?

Hello I believe the store closes at 2 a.m And although the lines are long it moves fairly quickly

Do the donut experts in Pico Rivera that taught the voo doo donuts guys have their own shops? What are they?

Do they have gluten free doughnuts? Which ones are they?

No they don't

What does the name of the Eight Mile doughnut have to do with the doughnut itself.?

Eminem starred in the movie "8 Mile" and wrote and performed a song of the same name. Eminem/M&M=the 8 Mile Voodoo doughnut.

Can you pick a box of dozen of your own choosing? If so how much does it cost?

Hi Alyssa! You are welcome to purchase a dozen dougnuts of your choice. Prices may vary depending on which doughnuts you select, as some doughnuts have different values from others.

I'm going to Universal Studios tomorrow (Sunday 8/13) and was wondering what time I should get to Voodoo to grab some donuts? I know Voodoo opens at 8am and was willing to stand in line if the wait is less than an hour.

As long as you go before about 9:00 it should be fine. Usually the line starts building up after that, have an idea of what you want, it makes ordering much quicker when you finally get to the front!

Do y'all have the bucket of doughnuts like the Portland location?

I am not sure Erica because I have never been to the one at Portland Oregon!!! I have only been to the one of Universal Citywalk Ca location!!!

Is it possible to buy a box and have it held at the store when I'm going to the park for the day?

Hi Audrey! At this time, we do not offer pre-orders. But we will be as quick as possible in filling your order! Thx! Ryan

One person working the counter when there's a line out the door?

No they have three on staff now wait was only 15-20 minutes.

Did you guys bring the hibiscus donut to this location?

Nope. As customers, we are not aware of the hibiscus Doughnut at Voodoo Citywalk - although it sounds awesome!

If I buy the doughnuts the night before, will they still taste ok the following morning? It's just a hassle to try and buy the doughnuts the morning of.

Does Citywalk Voodoo have the famous Joint or "Cock n Balls" donuts?

Does voodoo doughnuts continuously bake all day or once it's sold out it's out?

Delicious donuts. They have my favorite one which is donut cinnamon roll. Soooo good. Always really…read morefriendly too. Will go out of my way to get donuts here.

I have to start my review by saying how fresh everything was today when I walked in and placed my…read moreorder with Lang. First, I called to make sure they were open and then I noticed online that being Sunday, they close early. Walked in around 1:20pm and ordered an onion bagel with Eggs, Bacon and American Cheese. I also got a plain croissant with the same ingredients. Almost forgot to mention the delicious donuts that I got. 1 plain glazed and the other one with shredded coconut. Very fresh. The highlight of my meal was their freshly squeezed Orange Juice. The juice itself deserves a 10 star rating! I normally don't like orange juice that has pulp in it, but this one was SO different than the ones that I have tried in other Donut shops. It was so fresh like eating an entire sweet naval orange. My food came out quick and honestly not only was the bagel nicely toasted, but the croissant was also very fresh, hot, yummy and flaky. Since I got there 40 minutes before their closing time, the trays were not completely full. Not their fault and not mine either. They have everything that most Coffee Shops/Donut shops do. This place is truly a hidden gem and I am surprised at myself living 7 minutes away from this shop, how did I not notice it?? Total for everything came out to be $23.00. No public restroom, parking is shared with 5 other businesses and the place was clean. Good vibes by all 3 of their employees including the owner himself named Ben! Thank you, will be back very soon.
