Northwood location review - Came in early in the am for 6 dozen donuts and the gentleman that waited on me was super annoyed I ordered that many donuts. If I didn't need to get to work early, I would've left and went to another donut store. Our workplace wants to support local shops but after this experience perhaps going back to Dunkin Donuts might not be a bad idea. The donuts themselves are good. Not much seating inside but there is a big patio area to have coffee and a donut. Do not come here for anything more than 2 dozen unless you order in advance. We do come here for one or two separate donuts.

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.

AFTER I was told my total i get my receipt and see that they charged me a customer service fee. I didn't order online or had anything delivered so why tack on this fee AND not say anything? Will NOT be going back here again--not honest at all.

Over many years I have ordered primarily filled donut holes. Everyone that eats them rave and ask where did I get them. Customer service always warm and friendly.

Donut Star is very nostalgic for me and it's a great place for a little pick-me-up! The prices are amazing and the quality is even better! I highly recommend for anyone nearby looking for an affordable and delicious donut shop.

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!

Donuts here are nothing fancy, it's your standard donuts with reasonable prices. I am giving less stars because the person helping me obviously had a flu but was working. I threw away the donut bag right after I got home and also thought about throwing the entire bag out with the donuts.They also had an ancient POS and no contact-less payment system. I will not return.

I bought 2 Bearclaws. Instead of almond paste filling, they had gloppy sweet canned applepie filling gross!
I originally didn't like this location because there was a lady who worked here who was super rude to me and my husband every time we stopped by. However, as of lately, I haven't seen her so my experience has been good! I am addicted to their ham & cheese croissants. It's a must! They take credit cards- minimum purchase $5 though. Highly recommend!

Its 8 am no one was at the counter. When the woman appears i ask for a hot chocolate.. I paid amd she tossed my change back into my hand. NOT ACCEPTABLE.

Convenience is what this store is about. It’s on the way out of ones community but it’s not the best donut place. The raised donut base should be consistent but the sugar twist snd chocolate bar were quite different.
