Three stars for the apple fritters. Four stars for the ham and cheese croissants. Seven stars for the friendly service. Average out @4.66666, round up! Five Stars! I'm not much of a doughnut person and BF loves his apple fritters so this place satisfies all. And when you roll in here early on a Saturday morning, no shower, no makeup and barely awake there they are. All smiles and a hearty "Good Morning"! The ham and cheese croissants are big enough to split with someone. The doughnut holes are a sweet surprise :-) Apple fritters are kinda small in comparison. Only suggestion I would have is to add a selection of fresh bagels. It would truly satisfy this non doughnut eater. thank you! read more

100% my favorite donut shop in OC. Keeping it simple, no crazy flavors just the basics. Yum!

Delicious donuts and the owners are a few of my favorite people. They treat each customer (Many regulars) like family. We laugh, we joke, we discuss our families, weekend plans, etc. They are absolutely wonderful. read more

Best donuts ever! The service is exceptional and fast and friendly. Who doesn't like free donut holes!? My son says their sandwiches taste like heaven and I agree. Highly recommend!! You must try them. We don't go anywhere else. read more

This is my first time to order 100 donuts for my company. All employees loved the large sized donuts. People who work there was so much, and provided quick service. We are for sure that coming back. read more

There is a huge selection of donuts here! The interior is so happy and cute and the employees are so friendly - she even threw in a free chocolate donut! read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and donuts, but what makes this place is the amazing family that runs it. They are so personable and kind, and really brighten the community. I go weekly! read more

Fresh donuts every morning. They open super early if you need to grab a dozen or two on your way to work. Friendly and prompt service. They always through a few donut holes into your order, which is a nice treat. My only complaint is my favorite Pink Crueler donut always has frosting that seems like it's a day old, the rest of the donuts and eclairs and bear claws are fresh and delicious. Price is reasonable for the area and the coffee is actually pretty decent as well. read more

Great owner and staff! My spot to stop for that morning tea and bagel!

First off, the service is excellent. The folks here are so friendly and will make you feel welcomed. Sadly, my cronut was doughy and undercooked in the center.. The flavor was great though! I really wanted to give this place another star.. I'll still give this place another shot. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches AND you get donut holes with them!!! Service was excellent and quick and they are open early, which I love!

These guys are so friendly! Food is great and they sure are speedy :) I got a number 5. Bacon eggs cheese on a bagel. Good way to start off my day. Will be coming back here on those busy mornings. read more

Regular donuts are under $1, including tax. Last week, I bought a cinnamon roll and #1, it was like twice the size of a normal donut, and #2 it was only $1.35. I only brought in $1.25 (I was being lazy and didn't grab my purse), and the woman told me it was ok. I still ran back in with another quarter, but I thought that was so nice. Plus, I found 2 donut holes in my bag! This place has a lot of regulars- in the way, "Walk in, don't say anything, and your order is already ready for you." This is definitely my preferred go-to donut place on my way to work (unless I'm running late and then have to go to the donut place off the toll road). read more

Very nice & friendly service!! Yummy donuts!! They added special Halloween sprinkles on the mini donuts & donut holes. The kids were so happy and almost finished them all!! Will definitely come back again!! read more

I usually get my donuts and drink here, but this morning was a complete disappointment. As I was tearing off a piece of my donut, you can clearly see a black bug, dead, and cooked in between the twist of my glaze donut. It was absolutely horrifying. read more

So, I have had a breakfast croissant (ham, warmed) and that came with two glazed donut holes. They were very good. The croissant was buttery and filling. My husband and I split it. If you don't like butter, do not get it, but if you are like the rest of us and have a hidden passion for it that you hide a majority of the time, I suggest you get a croissant... Another guest in the place said the blueberry donuts were to die for, so I am going back to try one. That will be my donut intake for the year :) read more

Support local donuts :) Very great price

Now, Donut star is one of the good Chinese food here in Santa Ana. As a Taiwanese who works on Santa Ana, I often crave for authentic Chinese food. I enjoy coming to this place because their food is fresh and they have the lunch special. $7.75 for 2 item combs and a drink. I usually get chow mein with white rice along with mushroom chicken and broccoli beef. They give an adequate amount too! I have yet to try their donut and bakeries, but I will try it in the future. and yes this place is more authentic than panda express. read more

I stopped in on a whim this morning on one of my rare early-start days and picked up a Boston Cream and a regular chocolate glazed donut. To my pleasant surprise, when I got home I noticed that the lady had thrown in a few glazed donut holes, too! I loved the chocolate glaze on the Boston Cream. I think it's one of the best I've had. Semisweet cream, super soft and moist dough. read more

Excellent service and very friendly they remember you by name! Always there when I need to place order for pick up in a time crunch! I will continue to be a loyal customer! read more

This morning I spoke to the owners of Donut Star and as expected the guy was extremely apologetic and humble about the whole thing. Apparently the workers I dealt with were his daughters and as a parent myself I told him I empathize. There is still no excuse for having week old milk for sale and I suffered with cramps and diarrhea yesterday but people make mistakes and hopefully they have learned a lesson. Owner was a stand up guy. read more

The owners are so sweet and have great customer service skills. I love the selection of donuts! I've been coming every Saturday or Sunday and I always take at least a dozen donuts. They also have drinks in their freezer which are very cold. Today I took a Redbull and three Sunny D juices and I love that they don't rip people off with the prices. The donuts and drinks are very well priced. read more

This is my favorite donut shop. The donuts are delicious and fresh, and the management is so friendly and welcoming. My brother and I go back sometimes just to say hi. They have a great selection of donuts and croissants in a convenient location with ample parking. I've never felt so loyal to a donut shop before. read more

Excellent, warm and friendly service! the breakfast sandwiches we got were delicious as well. Made me feel very welcome here. Thank you!

We have been coming here for probably around 15+ years. Good donuts and nice people. What more could you ask for? Coffee is good here too!

After phoning in, owner waited past closing time for us. It was New Year's Day too!! Donuts were sooo good!! Coffee was great!! Sausage Croissant was tasty!! My girlfriend& I will be back for sure read more

Ok this is for Marlon saying this is a long review so i am going to add to it i hope this gets me a ROTD ok here we go. I woke up late so I had to hurry up and got ready for work and I didn't not have time to make anything at home. So i hopped in the car and started driving towards the 5 freeway. Its 6:45 am i was rushing down the freeway and thinking man i am kind of hungry so i was thinking to my self how about a bagel then before i know it i pass the exit for it damn stupid people wouldn't let me over so i finally got off the freeway it was 7:10 I was thinking a chicken biscuit sound great right now but i need to get to work. So i got to work and turned the computer on and got some coffee and pulled up yelp and started reading some reviews which made me really hungry so i ask my friend in front of me want a apple fritter he said hell yea so i get up and hop in the car and drive down the street to the donut star i walk in and the apple fritters were staring at me i said i would like 2 of those please. they were a 1.20 each and she threw some donut holes in there sweet. So i drive back to work and refill my coffee and sit down and take the frisbee looking apple fritter out of the bag i took my first bite and i was in heaven before i took the 2 bite i gave it a little kiss and said i love you and finished that bad boy off and washed it down with my coffee. I sat back in my chair and said that was so good i need to yelp that and so i did. One of the best apple fritters i have had are from this place. I have been to this place the last couple times to get donuts. As far as i know it is the only place around that is good. read more

Best kept secret in east Tustin. Exceptional service, friendly and welcoming. Great donuts and sandwiches.

I love this shop, its one of the best in Tustin. Great Apple Fritters~

I hardly ever eat donuts, except for the rare krispy kreme glazed. These donuts don't come close to those of course, but they are pretty good. I was in the area and stopped in to get a glazed old-fashioned, my favor tie kind. I was on my way to work and the donut didn't make it there, even though I told myself I should wait till I had some coffee to go with it. Once I tore off one piece of the outer edge, I couldn't stop. It was super sweet, but fresh. The bottom was a little on the soggy side. It was a rough day, so that one donut turned out to the be the highlight. The staff was friendly, and even stuck a donut hole in my bag as well. read more

No posted hours on Yelp, or online, or on maps. 2:30 in the afternoon and they're closed? Ok, I get the idea that maybe you only do the morning shift, but how about indicating that fact on your windows, here on Yelp, anywhere? That way I don't drive miles out of my way, with very few choices because apparently Irvine city planners have something against donut stores being allowed in this area. You have to drive 20 minutes to find one and then you get there and the lights are out?? Wtf? read more

This place is a a super star donut place! I was asked to cater for my office on a Friday morning last minute so I googled a place near me and found this GEM! Mora answered when I called and was so kind and helpful fully capable of having this large order ready for me on short notice. She made my ordering an easy process! I drove to the location to pick up my order and was surprised with a discount, free donut holes, and an iced coffee just for me. The quality of the breakfast is awesome too! We will be back for more breakfast catering at Donut Star! read more

if you want to find the best donuts keep f ing looking they have the worst service, looks like they over work their workers and food does not look fresh. when i came in it took 5+ minutes for someone to acknowledge me and i'm pretty weird looking. read more

I used to think this was an independently owned donut shop, until I saw another one in Fullerton. I felt betrayed, backstabbed, foolishly naive. I thought donut star and I were something! I thought I was it's first and it was mine, but that isn't the case =[ Aside from it being a chain, this place really stands out in the way they treat you when you enter. Since I work close to it I frequent it and eventually the small Asian lady-we'll call her Ying Sun just because she comes off that way-had my order memorized and would start pouring my Med sized coffee while I was waiting in line, cutest thing ever...I'm smitten! I started small, just ordering donut holes and the ocassional donut (My sweet tooth never fully developed). I eventually matured and started ordering their croissants, both plain, as well as the sausage and egg. This meal far surpasses any item from any fast food breakfast menu. Croissants are fluffy on the inside, but still crunchy on the outside, and the sausage and egg just like dad made them...if dad was ever around..........*sigh* Ying Sun still remembers my order even though I don't come as often, and she always throws in 2-3 donut holes. The price seems fair too, $3-4 for a warm breakfast amidst Tustin snow(great memoir title). And the best part of this place: The way she thanks you when she gives you your food, I will try to spell it how it sounds so do your best, "Zjank Chu" Everytime I hear it my eyes open up like a Pikachu in LOOOOVE! Thank you Ying Sun. read more

My maple bar was really dry and with little maple dressing! I asked if they were fresh, was told they were, it did not taste fresh. Tasted like a day old donut! read more
