Ducks Donuts

Quack! Here’s a donut shop in the area that stays open ²⁴⁄₇.
I normally come here for their Iced Vietnamese coffees. You only get them in one size, I would say its like a medium 20 plus oz. It doesn’t have much of that smokey flavored taste, it has a tiny bit of chocolate and with a slight buttery hint. It’s different compared to others I’ve tried, but when I’m in the mood to have it this way I come here for that. Plus, they sell these cheaper.
I’ve had their Boston Cream donut. I really liked the heavily dipped chocolate on the outside. On my first bite I got that soft fluffiness until that oozing vanilla filling. It was delicious and it’s a good size donut.
They don’t just carry basic flavors of donuts but they offer other stuff like croissants, bagels, and boba drinks.
It’s a smaller, older donut shop. In the mornings you see older locals here with their newspapers at the tables or in seldom occasions playing the arcade machine inside.
The people that work here are friendly. If you want to sweeten up your morning with some good ol’ donuts and do away that Starbucks nearby and save a few bucks? Go Ducks!

Had a donut craving at 1am so I grabbed a handful of change from my ash tray and decided to give this place a gamble. The area outside looks kinda sketch but the man inside was super friendly! He hooked me up with an extra donut. I got the glazed one for 75 cents; It was fluffy and delish. However, the one he hooked me up with was mediocre but the gesture was super sweet. I’d come back.

So I’m recovering from knee surgery and I made a statement on Facebook that I wish I had some blueberry donuts and a friend of mine got wind of this and called Ducks Donuts to see if they have blueberry glazed donuts. They do and learning of my recovery situation was willing to deliver a dozen to me. They are delicious and fresh and so tasty. The 2 young people that bought them were so nice and I think it’s such a good thing when a business really cares about their customers enough to go that extra mile to not only present a superior product but do it with a heart of gold. They really made my day special.

My wife likes the white cake with white frosting and rainbow sprinkles. She won’t let me get her donuts anywhere else. Thanks guys. Happy wife, happy life.

NOT GONNA LIE — this place is super sketch if you decide to come late night… do not come alone if you’re craving donuts in the middle of the night and be very aware of the hobos that loiter in this plaza after dark.
But aside from that, I hadn’t had donuts in quite some time, and my friend was craving for some around midnight and we decided to come here. There is a pretty big selection available, and since it was already so late, I didn’t expect the donuts to be fresh or anything. I ended up eating them the next morning as breakfast, heating it up just a little, and they tasted just fine.
Get the blueberry donuts! These were pretty good and I’m not even a huge donut fan. Service is friendly and it’s fairly cheap. If I’m craving them again, I would come back, but definitely in the daytime where it doesn’t feel as shady…

Best Donuts Ever!!! And I just love the the creative customized donuts. I just finished a Green Tea Donut. Where else can you find that? Delicious!!!

Everyone there is super nice and friendly! Unfortunately the donuts I stopped to get on my way to work were not fresh. It was embarrassing to hear my coworkers say they were stale.

Been coming here for over 15 years. Very nice owners and delicious donuts. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone having a craving.

I love that there’s a donut shop a few minutes away from my home! I’ve lived right near this place for my whole life! (20 years) I’m proud of how far they’ve come.
I remember being a little kid and waking up to that pink box every few Saturdays. Their donuts are pretty good. They have a variety of drinks too! Iced coffee isn’t too strong which I loved. They have fruit drinks with boba! They’ve recently added ice cream too. Sometimes I’ll get tired of the frozen yogurt from the Tutti Frutti a few stores down, and only ice cream can hit the spot, so I’m glad they have that. I also saw you can get ice cream with a donut, how cool!
The times I’ve been there I’ve mostly seen the young man at the counter, and he’s very friendly. So happy to see that they’re still up and running.

Stale, flavorless and just plain NOT GOOD. Don’t waste the calories on these inferior donuts. That is all.

I am happy, or should I say my stomach is. It’s National Donut Day, so I had to celebrate. Looked for reviews of best donuts near my apt in Santa Ana. Read about Ducks, 3 minutes away and open 24 hrs, and very good reviews, so I had to try it. Glad I did. I agree! Went about 9pm so not a lot of choice (as one reviewer noted) but still chose and enjoyed a coconut glazed and a chocolate glazed. Very good indeed! Sweet enough, consistency of soft bread dough, and not oily. As I was sitting there I saw that they brought out a fresh tray of sugar swirls. Didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to try something fresh, this time with coffee. Hard to beat it, especially dunked in fresh hot coffee! The young man behind the counter was friendly; he had worked the morning shift but came back because it was busy, and he was still in a good mood; I left in a good mood, too!

The blueberry Donuts are amazing love, so please try it. Love the Ham & Cheese Croissant with jalapeño. They have reasonable price and a great variety.

I finally have a chance to try this place. Been eyeing it for weeks. I came at odd time so I didn’t have much choice to pick, but the buttermilk was fresh out the oven so I got a few and a few others. I have got to say it was very good. Price was reasonable as well. The guy working there was super nice and helpful. If anyone are in the area drop by and try out one of their donuts. I know I’ll be back soon.

I’ve been coming here for years and it is THE local neighborhood spot! Solid place for donuts and coffee in the morning on the way to work, and late night. Hell, anytime since they’re open ²⁴⁄₇! The place is always buzzing in the morning with the local familiar faces who have been coming here for years! Many of them are neighbors who have watched my siblings and I grow up, as well as other regulars in here before heading in to work. They have everything from the obvious donuts and coffee to croissants, hot chocolate, bagels, sandwiches and muffins!
Their fridges are both always stocked with water, milk (all varieties) juices, sodas and energy drinks. You won’t go thirsty here! Craving something other than bottled drinks? They have tea, smoothies and Boba! The taro, mango and honeydew are my favorite here with the taro being at the top of my list.
The place is a mom and pop donut shop that has been around for twenty-​something years. As a matter of fact, I think it’s the only store in the plaza that’s been around that long from what I remember. It’s truly a gem to see mom and pop stores that have been in the family this long these days. I’ll be back for my croissant and coffee as usual tomorrow! :)

Duck’s Donuts rocks! Been going there for years. Family owned and the staff is pretty cool! Definitely the place to go, especially if it’s late and you have a sweet tooth!

Not the worst doughnuts we’ve ever had, but definitely not among the best either. At least we didn’t get sick from the grease.

This place is always packed, and you’d think that must mean something, but sometimes location is everything. They have a big dining room for a donut shop which looks pretty standard for a donut shop — white, plain, and inelegant, like a community center or nursing home.
The offerings are pretty good, but not unbelievable. They have a variety of donuts — sort of plain types, but with a few more fancy ones — and then some of the usual additional products like muffins and bagels. They have various bottled and canned beverages, with enough selection that there’s stuff like various energy drinks.
The family that runs this is nice. I always get good service here, but they do have a lot of people to serve. The donuts and other items taste okay. I wouldn’t spit them out or anything, but they’re not on the level of the places I’ve been trying lately in Ventura County. They are pretty good on taste compared to most but not all of the Orange County shops.

RRR. This is hard… i so love donuts and while i hesitate to play Will Rogers on my almost absolute fave confection treat…(ha! my name is Will — ok, i guess it’s funny to me…) anyway, there have been some donuts i’ve met that i’ve not liked (but that don’ mean they dint git et!).
So, after searching for some tips on better donuts than the local variety, I found Duck’s.
(Interesting sidenote: I go thru donut… ummm…mania? explosion? binge-​o-​rama? about every 3 months or so, but usually am too sleepy-​eyed to get my lazybones up for fresh ones… too old, i guess. But i went to Phoeniz on a 13hr there-​n-​back trip about three weeks ago to help a buddy pick up moving lights for Knotts –whee.- and, OMG — THERE ARE NO DONUT SHOPS IN PHOENIX!!! Whuttha… weird. No coffee shops, either… s’too hot my friend said; to which i said, if this were LA, they’d still be all over the place.) So that’s what sorta prompted my latest donut urge.
SO…sheesh! Duck’s — ok, so… we went there after coming back from Vista (helping said friend again), and we’re tired and hungry, so I said let’s check this place out, i hear it’s open late and it’s good.
Yup. 24 hrs. And Yup, best time is after midnight — BUT, for the best selection (read: he’s made ‘em all by this time), you’re talking 1:30ish or so.
I had plain cake, vanilla cake and powdered. Nice and crispy, but a bit on the greasy side for my taste. Light cake, tasty, but again — if it’s leaving greasy marks on my milk glass… yikes.
I’ll be back (my buddy said he thought it was better than average) to give some other more basic ones a try, like the glazed, twist and x-​filled, and we’ll see.
Wish they’d open up a donut boutique shop around here — am dying to try some of those wild donuts i’ve heard about in LA’s best shop (reviewed here on Unilocal), but… i love being lazy more than i love donuts. (gasp!)

The best mom & pop donut shop in town… but only after midnight!
For some reason they make a ton of fresh donuts after midnight and it’s the best for a late night (fattening) snack!
**Don’t go there around 8pm expecting a good selection. They consolidate all their (stale) donuts onto one tray… mostly glazed and a few maple bars.
For a night owl like myself… I’d eat Duck’s over Krispy Kreme any day!
