    Love the Ace. They have the jumbo donut only place in Irvine, Tustin and Lake forest who makes it. We called so many donut shops and they were the only ones who clearly understood the task. The owner asked the right questions and was extremely helpful. We were sooo glad and surprised. Ordered 2 days ahead and sprinkles are the way to go. The sky is the limit in decorations and will order for my super bowl bash. They take credit cards yessss and plenty of parking. Door faces the chevron and next to habit. Staff is all family and they are very kind and friendly. Donuts are made daily. Great job We love Ace

    Burnt apple fritters

    I had been going to Ace Donuts on and off for a decade. I hadn't been in a few months so I went in today looking for an apple fritter for my husband when I saw these burnt fritters. I asked the gentleman at the counter if they had any ones in the back that weren't burnt and he was snarky when he said, "No. they're supposed to look like this." Apple Fritters are the only donuts my husband will eat so I know what they are supposed to look like a these chunks of charcoal they were trying to pass off as apple fritters weren't right.

    My favorite donut store in Irvine! Right down the street from my house. It reminds me of my favorite donut store back in my home town. It's family run and the staff is very nice every time I've gone. They have a very good selection of donuts and they all have been delicious. I've never been lucky enough to get my hands on the donut holes there as they always sell out by the time they get there but it just gives me a reason to keep coming back!

    I got there around the time they were just opening. I found this place through next door app. The relative was spreading the word that her family owns it and i support family businesses. They were just making these when i came and not ready, so it means its fresh. I can hear the oil boiling. I was patient and it paid off. The strawberry one had little custard and powdered sugar on top. The bun is very nicely fluffy and light flavor.

    chocolate twist and classic!

    Shoutout to Gary and the Duck Donuts team!…read more I usually order Duck Donuts for team meetings on EZ Cater, maybe 3 dozen max at a time with 1-2 coffee buckets. I recently had a very large order and did 45 dozen (540 pieces!!) directly with the store. Gary was very quick to respond and helpful with the flavor reccs/modifications. We did: glazed, french toast, chocolate with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate covered strawberry, strawberry w rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla chocolate swirl. Day of, Gary was on time with the delivery (even with my last minute time change due to another delivery). Everything was accurate, fresh and carefully packaged. Duck donuts was such a hit! My favorite flavor is the French toast. Highly recommend!!

    Stopped here to grab some ice cream from chocolate shoppe ice cream and while the ice cream tasted…read moregreat the experience was pretty horrible. When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

Upon retrieving my order, I discovered that my ham and cheese croissant was not fully cooked. I even saw the lady cook both of them together, not separately. The mayonnaise and cheese were cold in the center, which was quite unpleasant and disappointing. Mags Donuts, a well-established establishment in Irvine, has maintained high standards for a considerable period. However, I believe it is imperative to conduct regular inspections by health authorities to ensure compliance with hygiene regulations. Recently, I observed a fly inside the donut and bagel cases, which is a clear indication of inadequate sanitation practices. The environment was slow. There wasn't that many people inside. The ladies are amazing and sweet but they do not know English as good!! There is a massive language barrier but I have to give it to them. They are good with recovering. They gave me another food item as complimentary after mentioning how upset I felt besides that, poor experience. Service is what matters now in the world and without good service how will a business become successful now? I should've taken my business elsewhere where but I'm glad I got to experience this for the last time hopefully Thank you! Best of luck. I was not aware there was a different business owner. I had thought the business owner were the ladies and gentleman making the donuts. Maybe it's time to switch up the team for better results..

    I usually love coming to sidecar because of their delicious donuts but I was very disappointed…read morewith the service I received today. It was 10 min before closing & idk if the girls were just rushing to close down but one girl in particular had an attitude. There was a miscommunication / misunderstanding with the girl who took my coffee order (I had assumed the seasonal banana latte came with the foam as pictured & because she didn't ask if I wanted the foam, I didn't ask for it more-so bc she asked if I wanted the brittle on top). When they handed me my drink it was a plain banana latte with no foam or brittle. I was ignored when I tried calling for the barista until another girl followed up - however this girl had an attitude. She told me that I must not have ordered it since they ask at the register if I want foam with brittle. Explained they didn't ask. Instead she just said "sorry I'll let them know for next time". And walked away leaving me with my drink as is. Didn't offer any sort of resolution. I walked in and asked they could charge me extra for the foam. The same girl with the attitude remade my drink and handed it to me. No thank you, no sorry, nothing. First time experiencing this kind of service. Not sure if the girl is new but saw someone else share a similar experience couple days ago. Wish I would have asked for her name!

The donuts were really fresh and hot when we got them. My wife loves the butter and salt one and it's absolutely perfect! The saltiness balances out with the richness and sweetness. I also ordered the golden hour grey, which was the seasonal flavor, and it was really unique. It was citrusy and light. Sidecar is definitely in it's own league and its tough to find other donuts to really compete with them. The store was pretty small with very limited seating at this location so it's more of a grab and go type of location. It's not too far from the beach though. Service was really efficient. Even if there was a line, it goes by quite quickly. It's worth it anyways!

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.
