    24/7 donuts, yes! We went after a UCI dance show around 9:30. Donuts were fresh and very delicious. Would go back again!

    We came in to check this location out and grabbed a few donut holes to try out the dough. Overall average. Good service. Easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

    This Donut Star location continues to be my favorite place for donut holes. I love their regular glazed and croutons donut holes. They are always fresh if you get them in the early morning. Croutons holes cost a bit more, but I think they are totally worth it if you like a croissant donut. Workers here are always friendly and they get you in and out real quick, which makes this the perfect breakfast stop.

    The donuts here were so light & airy! I was craving a sweet treat and this spot satisfied my craving. I had their vanilla sprinkled donut. My friend got their chocolate donut, and said the chocolate flavor wasn't as pronounced, but overall a good place that I'd come back to! Side note: the parking lot this is in can get pretty crowded during peak hours, though we had no problem finding a parking space.

    I wonder if the sign lights up and blinks when they are making donuts. Hmmm.

    Parking was challenging. Busy busy shopping area. Nice variety of donuts but the boys gave me specific requests so I went with that. 8 yr old are the whole glazed donut. 5 yr old ate the whole top half of the glazed donut dipped in chocolate with colorful sprinkles. Anyone for a half eaten donut BOTTOM? So predictable. Thank you Donut Star!!! Ok, bye.

    I was staying with my son, and he decided to get us donuts. This is one of his favorite donut shops. He brought me an old-fashioned donut with chocolate frosting. It was delicious! I really enjoyed it and would like to try other donuts next time.

    This place a great spot for an early morning treat or an evening snack! All of the donuts look amazing and I have every reason to believe that every donut tastes just as good as it looks. I got a regular sugar donut and it is exactly what I had wanted!! It was light and fluffy and was obviously made fresh! The staff is attentive yet efficient which is perfect when there's an early morning rush. The ambiance is fun and unique and there is plentiful outdoor seating. Overall, this place just became a new favorite donut place in my book!!

    We originally planned to go to Krispy Kreme for National Donut Day but ended up stopping by Donut Star in Irvine and we were so glad we did. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with this quick little stop after dinner. Even late at night, they had way more options than we expected, especially since it was Donut Day. We were hoping they wouldn't be sold out of everything, and thankfully they still had a great selection. We picked up some donut holes, both sugar and cinnamon sugar, and they were perfectly fluffy and warm with way more cinnamon sugar than usual which made them even better. My wife went for her favorites, the classic glazed and a custard filled one since she is obsessed with custard. Let's just say those were gone before we even made it home. I grabbed a few of my usuals including the classic sprinkle, cinnamon sugar, and strawberry. Every one of them hit the spot and of course I had to pair them with a cold chocolate milk. The staff was very sweet and patient while we took our time deciding what to get. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area or just in the mood for some solid donuts late at night.

    Are there any vegan items here?

    I don't think so but you can always stop by and ask.

    How much does it cost for a dozen donuts, nothing fancy just the regular donuts?

    $13.95 for a mix dozen I was told. At least half cake donuts in the box

To make matters worse, I ended up with a slightly upset stomach afterward. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the price. I won't be coming back.

I also have come in once or twice when Worship music was playing, and that's not quite my vibe, but to each their own. It's their business, just thought I'd mention it. Lastly, I almost tried their coffee today until I saw alternative milk was $1.25 extra !! Their base prices for coffee and matcha are a little on the pricier side, I would compare it to a specialty coffee shop for pricing. I know that specialty coffee shops charge that much due to the grade of beans being higher and more expensive, so I'm wondering if they use higher quality beans as well to justify their price? Either $1.25 for oat milk was a total turn off for me, it seems a little greedy. Most places charge $.75-$1. The rewards system is not very rewarding as it is one free donut for every $100 you spend. Not sure I'll be coming back. Maybe occasionally when I'm craving a donut.

Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid.
