    I don't get it. Is this the same Donut Star chain as the one off of Alton in Irvine? If it is, it does not have the same quality or offerings. The donuts here do not taste fresh. They taste like they've been there overnight or sitting out all day. Compared to the donuts from the Alton location, this place is sad. There are far fewer choices at this location. They don't offer cronut holes like the other location. I don't even think they make any donuts fresh on site. I don't know why anyone would come unless you live around here as there are no other donut shops around. I'm not a fan of this place and recommend going to the Alton location instead.

    i went here with a friend and i can say the donuts were sweet and delicious. it was a little dry but it doesn't bother me much. the worker was very nice and friendly. donuts were amazing and there was lots of variety there; old fashioned, frosted, apple fritter, sprinkles, twists, crossiants and more

    Came in around 8 and they had plenty of options! Got a dozen donuts and it was around $13. The donuts were fresh and really good! Would definitely come again!

    If you want any semblance of choice in your donut, you'd have to arrive by 830a. I came at 915 once and had choice of white sprinkle cake donut or white sprinkle cake donut. So I got the white sprinkle cake donut and it was delicious, the better slightly lemony (a lovely surprise!). On another day I managed to swing by at 845 and they still had several options! So I grabbed a glazed donut, and it was large and delicious. A solid donut shop that rewards the early birds.

    Cronuts! Donut holes.

    My new donut place!! Love the selections and always taste fresh! Cronuts are awesome here (though a bit of a splurge). Fast, friendly service every time I go! They offer online ordering, too, which is super convenient (but watch the cut-off time for placing them). I ordered a dozen donut variety online and it was packaged and ready for pick up by the requested time. The donuts they picked were great, too - a variety and not just the same things. Check this place out!

    Not many blueberries in my blueberry muffin

    We got muffins, not donuts. $1.75 each for a decent sized muffin, but they were just okay. A little on the dense, chewy side. I was in there around 7:30 am on a weekday, and I have to say I was a little surprised at the lack of selection in donuts (and muffins). The shelves looked half empty. My other complaint is that the employee was not friendly at all. No hello, no smile. Friendliness goes a long way and probably would have made my experience better.

    If you live in North Irvine, Donut Star is the place to go. It's the kind of local place where you can grab some sweet treats and run into friends. PRICE: $8.50/dozen. More for the fancier donuts. Credit cards allowed for orders of $5 or more. VARIETY: You're not going to find bacon donuts or anything really out there or avant garde at Donut Star but you will find all the classics - sprinkles, twists, maple bars, jelly filled, etc. YEAST DONUTS: The yeast donuts are nice and fluffy just as they should be. Solid choice but not spectacular. CAKE DONUTS: Donut Star's cake donuts stand out. I've never had a problem with them being dry. My favorite is the blueberry donut, which basically tastes like a fried blueberry muffin. Sure, it's probably from some kind of industrial mix but they sure are tasty. SERVICE: Always quick and friendly.

    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!!

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..

Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. 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.
