Shoutout to Gary and the Duck Donuts team! 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!! read more

Stopped here to grab some ice cream from chocolate shoppe ice cream and while the ice cream tasted great 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. read more

Duck donuts didn't do it for me. Dropped in after eating at the food court next door. While eating I noticed a couple eating donuts nearby. That sounds good to me. Duck Donuts is a place in a strip mall near the airport in Orange County. They advertise they are different because they make their donuts fresh and made to order for you. You design your own donut and they make it fresh for you. What a great idea! I decided to give it a try. I was a little concerned when I noticed their fryer was smoking a bit and there was a smoky oil smell in their store. The young server was very friendly and asked me to wait five minutes while he makes my delicious home made donut What he gave me looked like someone had stepped on a small donut?? Please look carefully at my pictures for photographic evidence of what they gave me. I bit into it and spit it out. It was an uncooked circle of dough drenched in days old oil. It was the worst donut I have ever seen or tasted. I brought it back immediately and gave it to the server and told him it was horrid, the worst I had every tasted. He said he was sorry but the person who knows how to change the oil and work the fryer correctly was out because of a family emergency. Okay, I understand, things happen in every business. You shut down, fix the problem, and open back up with things running smoothly. This place gets one star because they attempted to fool me that everything was fine when it was not. I left with no refund, no new donut, but hungry and $4.00 less in my wallet. He told me there was no way he could refund me. He tried to call me later with a refund, but I would need to give him my credit card number. I do not recommend this place. read more

Ok so I rarely write reviews but i have to do a review for this place. Phenomenal, amazing. I bought 2 dozens for my project team so celebrate a big milestone of our project and everyone said the donuts were delicious and very good. Now im not a big fan of donuts so i cant say much. But my whole team around 20 people have reviewed that these donuts are so good. I don't know what you put in them but keep up with the good work. Thank you read more

Super cute place, and I love the duck theme! I got the blueberry streusel donut which comes with blueberry icing and a streusel topping. They served it warm and it was a great sweet treat! Price was a bit steep for a donut, at a little under $4. But overall solid spot for donuts in Irvine. read more

I was out and about found this donut shop. I did my research on yelp and found it to have great reviews. When I entered the shop I was greeted by staff. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

A great place to go get a delicious donut. The shop has a great selection of donuts, pastries and sandwiches. read more

Swung by today for a sweet treat after seeing all the reviews, but unfortunately this place may be too overhyped. Duck Donuts is located next to Trade Food Hall in the rear corner of the plaza. The shop is cute and very on brand with the amount of rubber ducks that make up the place. Staff were friendly and quick to make our donuts. I got a strawberry confetti and maple glazed donut. The donuts were warm and fresh, however I wasn't a fan of the consistency (it was close to being mushy as the donut kind of fell apart as picked it up for a bite) or the aftertaste of the glaze. There's so many great donut shops in the OC to compete with that I'm not sure this place is worth going out of my way to visit. I really appreciate that everything was made fresh, but the flavors and consistency aren't for me. read more

Duck Donuts - Strawberry Confetti & Maple Glazed Donut - Donuts Near Me - Irvine, California

I recently visited Duck Donuts cuz I like ducks. Overall, the donuts were fresh and tasted good -- you can definitely tell they're made to order, since you see them preparing your order, which I appreciated. However, I was a bit disappointed because I had thought (from seeing other post) that purchasing a dozen donuts might come with one of the regular "small" yellow duck as a novelty item. I think the worker said they have "free ducks" once a year there's promo day for it. I understand promotions may vary, but I was expecting that small extra touch to go with the name and was hoping for encouraging folks buying a dozen or two order. :(( And yes, while the donuts themselves were enjoyable, I did find the specialty donuts to be a tad expensive compared to what I anticipated. It was $30+ for the specialty dozen. The specialty flavor menu also changes with the season. I still enjoyed the donuts, I mean who doesn't on a Friday, and different flavors of the donuts. read more

A guilty pleasure! Duck Donuts never dissapoints! Made-to-order donuts are such a luxury, I love stopping by and seeing them make it fresh! The service is fast too, you can be in and out super quick. Parking over here sucks though, avoid the lunch rush. Lots of restaurants and plenty of seating outside to enjoy your sweet treat! read more

Yeah we have a number one ! I'm sorry but this makes voodoo donuts taste like a Dunkin's in comparison. The freshly made glazed donut is a great way to taste what the donut is without the magic. And it's soft, chewy and perfectly sweetened. However if you want a bang for your buck go with the maple bacon donut! Yes Bacon. Also the service was spot on. Quick but also not too fast as they cook the donut to order ! And I couldn't get over the ducks everywhere. Omg the way I wanted to waste all my money on every duck. read more

Duck Donuts is a small donut shop located outside an Irvine plaza with a decently sized food area. I'm not much of a donut person myself, but this is probably the best place I've gone to that had them. The variety is huge and they're pretty much ready to get once you order them. Both the donuts I had were amazing, and to me, that means a lot just because I typically have criticism against donuts I try. They were genuinely just good and not too much, just the right amount for what they're worth. I loved the sugar donut the most out of these 2 and would come back to try more. Overall, if you want donuts and you're in Irvine, you should stop by Duck Donuts! They have a lot to choose from and I can vouch for them being just right. Plus, there's a ton of fun ducks in different styles that you can even buy if you want on their walls. I love that small aspect of the shop. read more

Honestly might be my new go to for donuts! Such a yummy spot for a sweet treat! This was my first time coming to duck donuts, and it did not disappoint at all. First of all, the donuts are really made to order so when you get your donut, it's so warm and the glaze is gooey. Just a perfect way to eat a donut! I loved the texture of the donut, it had the perfect airy dough and it wasn't oily at all despite coming directly off the frying station. The inside of the shop was so cute too! They had rubber ducks everywhere that you could buy. They have so many different options for flavors, even drinks! I'm excited to come by again read more

This place stays consistently good as the years go by. Their seasonal donuts are so good too! Their donuts here are fresh and they make whatever flavors you want to order.

The ladies working here are so nice and patient! Beware they prepare custom, made to order donuts so either preorder or wait if you order more than one. A new customer stopped by to order 3 assorted dozens and had to leave when quoted 40 minutes. Donut texture isn't the typical raised, it's more of a crispy golden cake donut dipped and drizzled to perfection. I ended up changing my mind last minute but was happy with my order. Donuts: *Peanut Butter Paradise: pb dip with chocolate drizzle, added rainbow sprinkles free of charge! *Maple Bacon (a regular stopped by and raved about how delicious it is) *Coconut Island Bliss (chocolate dip, peanuts & toasted coconut) I originally wanted thin mint crunch but changed to pb. So good! Dip & drizzles were melty because the donut was hot off the fryer! The shop is cute with lots of little assorted ducks lined up along the windows and are for sale. I got a silver glitter duck for $2.50 + tax. I'd stop by again! read more

I understand why this donut place is rated so highly. The donuts are made fresh rather than sitting out all day like many other donut shops. There's so many different flavors and the donuts are all customizable. Since they're made fresh, they're nice and warm when you get them. I love that the donuts are very light and spongy rather than being super dense and overly sweet. The blueberry pancake was really good! Parking is easy and service is good! read more

Way too sweet. They do make it fresh but the sweetness was just too much for me. Maybe I'll just get their sugar donut next time since anything else is like diabetes level sweetness. Be careful if you're like me who can't handle way too sweet food. Otherwise their freshly made donut are quite nice texture . read more

WOW! This donut shop is unlike any other. The donuts are made fresh and are so rich in flavor. My personal favorite is the Blueberry Pancake - right level of sweetness combined with the soft fluffy dough! It's located in a shopping plaza near KRISP fresh living and there's plenty of parking. This is one of my favorite dessert spots in OC! So delicious! read more

Came here 30 min before closing and the staff was SO patient and friendly with all the customers coming in for their late night donut cravings. Duck Donuts have been a favorite for many years, even to the point that we chose this place for dessert for our 4 year anniversary date lol. What I loved about this recent visit is that I got a free scoop of ice cream since I entered my number for the rewards program. Now....this was the most gigantic "scoop" of ice cream I have ever seen. It was awesome. Not to mention, FREE. I got the peanut butter flavor and honestly, now I'm hooked on peanut butter ice cream cause it was delicious. Also, ANY donut flavor you get will rock your world. We love French Toast, Blueberry Pancake, and Coffee Cake. Get yourself over to Duck Donuts and your tastebuds will love you for it! read more

First time to this location, and man, parking was tough. They were having an event in the food court area, so hopefully it's not usually this busy. The shop itself is a small takeout place with super cute rubber ducks lining the interior. I got a half dozen donuts, and they were absolutely delicious. Duck donuts is probably my favorite donut place, as the cake donut base is very dense, and pairs perfectly with the sweet coating. My favorite is the vanilla iced with the strawberry drizzle (I'm a creature of comfort and don't like too many crazy flavors). Will definitely return. read more

I am absolutely not surprised by the amazing reviews for this place. I was looking at multiple donut shops one day looking for a place nearby to try and not only was it conveniently by me, but these are possibly the greatest donuts I have ever had. When you go into duck donuts it's a small shop and at first I was surprised thinking where are the donuts. Here's the thing, these donuts are fresh, like made after ordering so you get a completely fresh, amazing, and delicious donut after ordering. The donuts were so warm and the fillings they choose are superior! Service was also amazing and the experience was awesome with the staff making recommendations and explaining their menu selection to us. Overall, these would be really great for a staff appreciation event, family gathering, friends gathering, or just yourself to enjoy. I think the donuts are gorgeous so their style screams more than just your regular donut. I will need to gather another couple flavors for friends and family and I hope you do to. FYI: my favorite was the blueberry donut! read more

Overall a good donut. If you are crazing something sweet in the shape of a circle this is a good option. I don't think this place is special or better than some other donut shops, but it's still a good donut if you're hungry for it. I don't believe the price is justified for just a simple donut but it gets the job done. read more

After a top notch lunch down the street, my wife and I needed some dessert and accidentally stumbled upon Duck Donuts! My wife was super stoked to notice this place since she's heard of it before. The menu here consists of two different things, ice cream and donuts and I managed to try both of those things. To start we ordered a couple of donuts each but thanks to a quick membership signup on the little screen, we got a free ice cream so I quickly inhaled two scoops of cookie monster. The ice cream was great, though I know it isn't made in house it was still great. I ended up getting an oreo donut as well as a halloween themed one I forgot the name of. These donuts are made literally in front of you from start to finish and once served, they are piping out and super freaking good. I ate the oreo one fresh and the thing was like eating joy in dough form. The Halloween donut was consumed the next day and it was equally delicious. Overall, Duck Donuts is definitely a donut shop worth visiting. The staff here was super friendly and helpful, the donuts were great, and if you want a bunch of little rubber ducks for some reason, well they have those too. read more

We came here using our too good to go app, what a steal! Absolutely love being able to try new hidden gems. Duck donuts absolutely blew us away. You had no idea what you would get, so the anticipation as they hand you a warm, made fresh box of donuts was killer. The two gals up front were so kind and i think it's got such an inviting feel with all the small plastic duckies scattered around the shop. Parking can be tricky as there are so many restaurants, but it's worth waiting a few minutes for parking. The donuts... guys, strawberry, french toast, lemon, chocolate, maple and Oreo (our fav!) was soft, chewy, I could have eaten all 6 but self control.. self control!! Can't wait to come back! read more

This is the place made me love donuts! I wasn't fan of donuts because of the sweetness and high sugar but this is different. They taste very fresh and the sweetness doesn't even bother, you just want to keep eating haha. Definitely worth to give a shot. The best part is you can customize your donuts, you can choose the flavor and topping so you basically do your own and the service is very quick. You can also enjoy the ambiance while you are waiting. There are cute small ducks everywhere and you can even buy one if you like! Overall 10/10!! read more

Came here randomly and didn't expect much, but it was actually really good. Donuts are made fresh so they're warm and soft, not sitting around all day. You can watch them make it which is kinda fun. I like that you can customize everything. Tried a few different ones and they were all solid. Sweet but not crazy sweet. Coffee was decent too, which I didn't expect from a donut spot. Prices are a bit higher than a normal donut shop, but for fresh-made donuts it feels fair. Would definitely come back if I'm nearby. read more

Such a cute spot! I love the vibe when you walk in here. Then all the donut variations you could want. It's a lot of choices, but our little stuck with his fav, chocolate, and it was delicious. It was a nice treat to have after dinner, great dessert before heading home. read more

My friend and I visited duck donuts near closing and they made our donuts so quickly! They make all their donuts fresh to order on a vanilla cake dough. The store is so cute, with walls filled with rubber ducks! Custom Donut: The store owner said that since they were closing, he just made my friend and I an extra donut. It had vanilla icing, graham cracker crumble, and salted caramel drizzle. This was absolutely delicious!! 9/10. Blueberry Pancake: This donut has a blueberry glaze, powdered sugar, and a maple drizzle. This was amazing, tastes just like its name. 9/10 The donut dough: it was so soft and almost melted in your mouth when it was freshly made. When I reheated in the morning, I got to experience how spongey and delicate it was. It wasn't dense at all, it was so airy. Overall I would give this place 5 stars! Only note is that I think the glazes are a bit too sweet which is why they're both 9/10s but that's it! read more

We were waiting for our table at another restaurant in the plaza, so stopped by to grab a donut before it. We have been to Duck Donuts once before and loved the maple bacon donut the first time. This time, my kids wanted the cookies and cream. The donuts are made after you order it, so it does take some time. I felt that they were understaffed though because one guy was taking orders and making donuts, so he was running back and forth between the two tasks. I personally found the cookies and cream donut way too sweet, but my kids enjoyed it. But it's definitely nice that the donuts come out piping hot! read more

I've been a fan of this brand for years and I just learned that they are local. The donuts are super fresh and made to order. When ordering it makes sense to order 6 or more for a better price point.

They are always served warm because they are made to order. The service is friendly and they make your order with love This establishment is a must try and you too will become a fan!!

Hands down the best fresh donuts I have ever had! What makes Duck Donuts extra special is that they make each donut fresh right in front of you after you order - warm, soft, and just the right amount of sweetness. They had such fun and unique flavors too. I went with a few of the rotating ones and honestly wish I had just gone all in with a half-dozen or full dozen pack. Flavors I tried: - Coffee Cake - Blueberry Pancake - Strawberry Iced The size is perfect, totally worth the price, and the service was amazing - super friendly and fast. Also, the rubbery ducky wall is adorable - any yes, you can actually buy one! Such a cute and fun vibe all around. read more
