Donut Star

One of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Dough had a light, almost creamy smoothness. Very fresh even nearly 15 hours after it was made. Jelly filled is a «must try»!

I stopped this morning to pick up a dozen donuts for my students and they service was fast. Friendly owners and they even had cronuts. I did not taste the donuts but my students said they were fresh and tasted great

We needed a donut fix. The wife sent me out to get her a maple bar. I came here to check it out and lo and behold they have cronuts! we have always wanted to try them now was the time. I got the maple for the wife and the crumb for me. This being our first they were delicious. very very good. When i try another cronut from somewhere else I may change this to a 5.

Best donut shop in Orange! From the yummy food to the awesome service!!!
The donuts are freshly baked and super yummy and soft. The crossaints are stacked with egg, bacon, cheese and ham for $ 3 which are huge. Can’t get that at fast food! They have different flavors of coffee and toxin removing teas!
Their newest item is the baked cronut! They have different flavors maple, chocolate, sugar and crumb. We tried the crumb one today and it was scrumptious. The crunch and sweetness were just right.
The owner is so sweet and friendly. She always welcomes you with a smile and hello. Love talking with her when I come in. It’s cash only so make sure to have bills in the wallet.

Looks a turn in quality from this place. Granted, at 11am I guess I shouldn’t expect the freshest donuts, but here they just, look so sad. You know when you see a great quality donut, it’s all in the presentation. The cream fill bars were a mess, the custard in the filled donut with chocolate glaze tasted off, and the whole store front looked… cluttered and unkempt. Maybe a lesson in quality control would benefit this place.

I’m on my way to work and hadn’t eaten breakfast, so I stopped at this place for a bagel. I had never been here before. I got one toasted with cream cheese. I take it with me to work to eat it for breakfast. I get to work 10 mins later and notice it’s a pretty lame bagel from a bag at a grocery store. Whatever I’m starving, $ 2 is $ 2. Looking closely, there is mold all over the bagel. Green spots. I have to leave work to go back to this donut place, show them, and of course they were apologetic. They made me a new one and asked if I wanted anything else. So I said yes please can I get a croissant? They say okay $ 3. I explained to them that I had to leave work to take back this moldy donut, and this is costing me for their mistake. I can’t get something else? The two Asian women look at me with confusion and say no it’s $ 3. What a shitty donut store– my first and last time here. NOTE: closely inspect your bagel before you eat it!!!

So, the first time I tried this place, my coworker brought them into work in Irvine. She’s only brought them in a few times, but they are AMAZING. The donuts are always so fresh and taste so good. Everyone in the office is obsessed with them. There are not many donut places that give me that great experience and freshness, but this place definitely does. I live in Irvine as well and have considered making the trip because they are just that good. HIGHLY recommend!

While I would call myself a donut connoisseur, my husband certainly is. He has tried every donut shop in Orange and lets just say throughout California. They are the best! Fresh, light and delish. Well worth the treat. When I get a treat I get the old fashion or the sprinkle. My husband gets chocolate bar and glazed. When he being good he gets the bran muffin. The owners are very nice and if you get there at 5:00 am in the morning, that parking lot is jammed, my husband goes to work early! If you are craving a donut, this is the place to be!

Excellent donuts. They are always fresh and texture is perfect (at least when I pick them up on Friday mornings).
My favorite donuts are glazed twists and this place beats the twists at Winchell’s. For me, that’s a big deal.
Can’t rate them perfect because they’re a little pricey, but still highly recommended.

I love the people who work here and thier donuts.
In a rather convenient striplet on Riverdale/​Glassel by the 91 frwy, Donut Star shines as a great place for many things. Parking gets crowded sometimes but never out of hand. The service is always great, freindly people, clean organized shop, quick and efficient.
Cofee
I always get thier regular coffee and its always perfect, I usually prefer thiers over a few places I will not name (but thats a personal prefference, not a typical evaluation point). I also like thier hazelnut blend, they have a couple of other flavors. You can add milk, cream and sugar right there before you go.
more
They have milk, juices, sodas, cold cofee’s, water, and more in thier fridges. plus they have Boba.
Donuts
all the greats are here, if you want an apple fritter that taste soft and fresh, not stale and crunchy, here it is. The old fashioned glazed, devils food, all the bars, sprinkles, and everything I can think of, they are great.
Plus they have muffins and criousaants, including thier ham & cheese breakfast crousaints which my co-​workers love.
I may get critiqued heavily for giving a classis style donut shop ran by 2 great women 5 stars, but, that is my take, love it or not.

delish but pricey
I’m not a huge fan of donuts, especially glazed ones. I always just get plain sugar or plain cake.
THESE ARE GOOD. They are so fluffy, soft and the TASTE of the dough is mm mm good! I try to savor, but I always end up wolfing it down and its over before i know it.
about 70 cents or 80cents per donut. .they have eclairs too…

5 Stars for a Donut Shop! Great donuts and they have French Roast Ice Coffee!
My favorites here are the buttermilk donuts. They have three types. And, for some reason, I like the pink frosting one. I never leave without one. Jet bakes the donuts and pretty much does a great job on everything.
They have several different coffees and iced coffees. They also have French Roast Ice Coffee which is great. Wendy, the hostess, will tailor it to your tastes. This is probably the best ice coffee (French Style w/​condensed milk) outside of Bolsa. They have bagels and healthier snacks also.
I think the main characteristic about this place is that Wendy cares what you think. She will have you taste donuts and drinks and wants your feedback. She is always happy and for some reason is always in style with her trendy outfits. If you get confused, look for a lady with a great big smile or sporting a cool hat. Ask what the donuts of the day are.
The shop is bright and airy and always clean. Service is excellent.
Parking is easy. Nice large lot. Never had a problem.
This is probably the best place to get donuts if you are in the area. It is a minute off of the 91 Fwy and easy access back onto the freeway. I would time it at 2 minutes from leaving the shop until you are back on the 91. While I would not drive a great distance out of my way to come here, I do drive a tad out of my way.
My tip to you is that if you come, come in the mornings. The donuts are way better when they are fresh. Also, ask to try her special coffees. If Wendy is not in, her colleague is or Jet the Baker.
