Voodoo Doughnut

We missed the chance to try Voodoo when staying in Portland. Surprisingly, Voodoo was found at the Universal CityWalk in LA. The decoration of the store is in pink attractively. No queue in the morning around 9 am, but we waited about 10 mins to order around 6 pm. Various choices/flavors of donuts and sweets, and the names of donuts are very interesting. We aren't the fans of too complicated flavors, but the Butterfinger is tasty. Voodoo's dough itself is good, but my kids still prefer the plain glazed donuts at KK.

Fun, creative, and delicious! Every donut is fresh and full of personality, loved the cereal topped ones and the Voodoo Doll. Friendly staff and a quirky vibe make this spot a must visit for a sweet treat.

Bought the hollywood donut. Cream filled topped with maple. The maple top was quite sweet and rich for my preference. The dough was fluffy and the cream filling was nice and well balanced. This one doughnut is around $4-5. There are a few seats inside and outside the store.

Went for a donut at the end of a long walk around universal today and had the vicious hibiscus donut! The person behind the counter at around 4pm on 7/17 was so kind, since we had waited a few minutes (which we did not mind the wait at all) he gave us a small discount which we appreciated and made us feel welcome. Will definitely be back because that donut was crazy good and worth the hype. Thank you!!

Nice variety of doughnuts, some of them are definitely questionable. But some of them look down right amazing. Need to eat right away or atleast try it, after a while they get kinda soggy.

I bought a donut with a cappuccino for $8. The wait was just 5 minutes, the place was nice, the prices were reasonable, and there was a good variety of items.

5 star atmosphere. It’s just a regular donut. Tastes like a corner store donut. Not unique except for the bacon strips on the maple bacon bar - which has actually become very common. Looks jazzy- a little occultist in a few minor instances (pentagram donuts). The atmosphere is worth a look see, if you’re into pop culture, pretty colors - they went all out. They offer a veteran discount for those eligible. Real nice staff.

This was DE-LI-CIOUS! Fresh, tasty doughnuts with unique flavors in a cool shop! It was pretty busy even at night and it’s a bit of a tight squeeze, but it’s absolutely worth it. The Mango Tango was my favorite. Sweet, light and just a little sour. Perfection! 🥰👏🏼

This was a good experience at Voodoo Doughnut at Universal Studios. It is located along Universal CityWalk. For what it's worth, this is a good experience for kids considering the fun, somewhat spooky-themed donuts and atmosphere. The decor is very light-hearted on the spooky theme as you don't get a true feeling of spooky, rather, there is spooky imagery throughout the shop, like the coffin-shaped menu, ghoulish donuts, and references of voodoo throughout the store. The store has a wall of merchandise for purchase. This place is fun-themed and supported by the light, vibrant colors, of which the color pink is dominant. There is also abstract art throughout that fits the store's theme. The customer service was good. As far as the donuts are concerned, they are OK, however, not any I would say is a must-have when in the area. I tried the yeast donuts and they are like any standard yeast donut you can get your hands on. What elevates the experience is the fun designs and crafting of the donuts. It is fun stop for kids to experience at the end of a long day at Universal Studios.

It was okay. Thing is, there are so many igh(er) priced, high(er) end doughnut shops that are insta-famous (eg Federal, 5 Daughters) that unless they're really doing the d@mn thing, there's not as much to get excited about as when they burst on the scene. 20 years ago, VD were the hot item out of the coolest city in the country. Getting your hands on one of these bad boys was as much a calling card as they were something to eat. Now, they're just about everywhere.* And, as with most things chain, the thrill is gone. Don't get me wrong, I saw the pink box and I got a little excited. Maybe I got a little *too* excited. I nabbed a chocolate ring and negotiated for half of a blueberry cake. The ring** was pretty standard fare: yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting. The chocolate frosting was heavy, thick and able to to broken off to eat on its own (as opposed to slathered on top) and I found the doughnut to be more brioche-like than bready/crumby yeast. Good. The blueberry was a bit of a disappointment. I say 'bit' because first-world-you're-eating-a-doughnut but the cake was gummy. The unpleasantness of a gummy cake is a sorrow only a (formerly) fat kid can really know. In addition, the glaze was slathered on (melting into the cake). I know a glaze is not frosting but the textures just weren't working for me. Lastly, the blueberry taste was faint (at best). I felt like I was eating a blue-colored cake. 'Mid' as the kids would say. 'No me gusta' as the former Miamian in me would say. I think I was 20 years too late for this experience. *Including my town... which makes it odd that I traveled across the country to have one. **I don't get the 'ring.' It's a doughnut. It's shaped like a doughnut.

They have special donuts for the holidays and I decided to try their eggnog old fashioned thinking I couldn't go wrong instead of going for the delicious maple bacon bar. WRONG! Thankfully today was the last day for anyone to try this "eggnog " donut because that was not the flavor I got whatsoever- it tasted like bubblegum thick frosting on a damp old fashioned. One bite in and I was instantly regretful. The taste pb&j and the blueberry cake donuts were tasty and I'd recommend. Service was great Wait wasn't terrible

What We Ordered: -Voodoo Doll Donut $5.50 -Maple Bacon Bar $5.25 -Granny's Hot Cocoa $3.50 -Little Pink $3.50 -Portland Cream Donut $4.25 I've wanted to go to Voodoo for a long time but the only location in LA is at City Walk. It's not so convenient to go there. Every time we go to Universal, the family rushes to get inside the park. So, going to Voodoo for a donut is an afterthought. I finally put my foot down and said, "I must go there". The family didn't wait for me as they continued rushing to the gate regardless. Lol! I tried to take as many pictures as I could. The donuts slide around in the box a lot. So I couldn't take any good pictures of the donuts as my wife gave me that face that all husbands know too well! When you are not listening to them! The staff were very attentive and helpful. They were patient in letting me know which ones they liked and which were popular. The prices are a bit steep, but considering the location. It's understandable. However, the Maple Bacon Bar is a bit pricy even with the location factored in. The Voodoo Doll Donut was the best one that I tried. It was very sweet, but that's expected with donuts! The Maple Bacon Bar was okay. Nothing special! Portland Cream was pretty decadent! The cream was very rich in flavor! I really wanted to try Granny's Hot Cocoa, but my mother-in-law ate it. Oh shucks! It's funny that my mother-in-law always complains that I eat too much sweet food. She always says, "太甜了!" When we play, she's the one eating donuts in the corner. LOL! The donuts here were okay. I probably wouldn't come back anytime soon. I must say that I really love their signs and decor, though!

Donuts are delicious. I'm a fan of unique and different flavors so it's always fun to get ones that aren't the "norm" in a traditional donut shop. Went at night at first but they were sold out of a lot. Came back the next morning and had what seemed like all freshly baked and ready to go. The guy at the night said to come around 815 and everything should be ready. He was right.

Awesome, creative selection of donuts. Super convenient to stop in for a quick breakfast on our way in to Universal. It's been months and my son is still raving about the donut he got here! Very pricy for donuts, but to be expected at City Walk!

We Always stop here on our way home from a day at the park for some doughnuts to go. Selection is always good and available and doughnuts are a hearty size. They serve up Delicious treats and coffee drinks

We had some out of town guests this weekend and thought we would treat them to a day at Universal Studios. I deliberately parked at the City Walk side so they could see all the stores and restaurants along the way before entering the park. It was a smart move. We got to experience early morning there and late afternoon on the way back eight hours later. (While I am thinking about it, it is a good idea to get to the venue before it opens at 8 -- that way you will get a good parking spot and avoid some long lines for the most popular attractions.) I love City Walk. It's bright, clean, loaded with places to eat, get a drink, and buy souvenirs. None of it is junky. In fact, be prepared to pay Los Angeles prices throughout, especially for the park itself. We ate an early breakfast and then, just before leaving in the late afternoon, we stopped at Voodoo Doughnuts -- a place I have wanted to check out for months. It is good enough to come just for Voodoo and Halloween may be their best season. Their pastries are legendary and from what we experienced, the quality of the products lives up to that reputation. They are light, moist, very flavorful, and not greasy -- perfect, in fact. We got a slightly elevated dozen (see my pictures). I ordered a variety, meat-free of course. The one hitch is that, despite being October, we had record heat that day and even rushing the box of doughnuts to the car did not avert some of them melting. I think the staff should have a better way to pack the individual pieces in layers -- maybe with cardboard? The atmosphere of the shop and the entire City Walk area is colorful, spotless, fun, upbeat and celebratory. There is loud party music everywhere -- just enough to make you want to dance, not so intense as to be annoying. Everyone there seemed to be having a wonderful time, and we did too. We now plan to go back just to try some of the restaurants on City Walk. My impressions of the park at the Studio will be coming next.

Depending on the day of the week you come here it might be a little crowded, but service is always quick. You'll be in and out in no time especially if you already know what to order. The location is small but spacious. Donuts are fresh and delicious.

I always see a line outside this place so I had to see what the hype was about. I was so excited when I entered and saw all the creative donuts. It's been a while so I can't remember all the donut flavors, but let's just say you have a lot to choose from. The donuts all looked very appealing, unfortunately they weren't that great upon tasting. The donuts we ordered were too doughy and not that flaky. The bottom line is if you like flavored and unique donuts, this place is worth a try. If you just like regular glazed, you can skip. Overall, it was an okay experience but I guess I expected more from the hype. Interior- This place only has one available table so expect to order to- go.

You cannot go to universal studios area and not come in here for a taste of the donuts. Simply one of the best and freshest donuts I have ever tasted. I loooved the Oreo donut a tad too much ... my kids got spoiled and we were all smiling ear from ear after this amazing taste experience.

Ambiance is good. It wasn't crowded so we didn't wait long to order Customer service was a delight. Donuts were good, just really sad looking lol The voodoo donut looked liked gumbie but just happy they were sweet and delicious. $13 for everything

We went in around 8pm on a Friday and the line took less than 10 mins. Pretty fast for how many people were in line. In line, you can check out all of the cool merch and the selection of donuts. There are only a couple seats inside but City Walk has tons of outdoor seating. When we got up to the counter to order, the staff member was super friendly, answering all of our questions and giving great recommendations. Theres a huge variety of donuts with your regular choices and some extra sweet flavors for those that want to try something new, including cereal and bubble gum topped donuts! Fun place to grab a late night treat or next morning's breakfast!

Good donuts, cute concept. The filled donuts have ALOT of filling. Worth the money. Went when they first opened. No line. Only 4 tables to sit, but I. Coming so early, there were inside tables available.

Voodoo donuts really does feel like the whole Portland experience in the way where the food looks cool but the tastes is just kind of okay and the service is such where everyone looks and acts way cooler than you. Overall it's a fun touristy place to go but if you're expecting something incredible this isn't it.

Friendly service and fun decor. Lines can get long but generally fast moving. The donuts are good especially the dough. Overall, a bit too sweet for my taste but very creative flavors and design.

Cute donut shop located in Universal Citywalk. They have a variety of unique flavors and the classics. Quick service. Nice decor inside. Our favorites are the glazed and maple bacon donuts, but the special donuts like the Oh Captain, My Captain is pretty good too.

My Girlfriend and I went to Universal Citywalk to watch a movie. After the movies, we wanted to walk around and see the stores. This was the first for the both of returning to Universal Citywalk in a long time. A lot has changed, especially the stores have come and gone. We spotted Voodoo Doughnut and wanted to try them out. We always see the donuts advertised on cable or on social media. Arriving once inside, we saw their slogan "The magic is in the hole" above and decor was really cool in my opinion. As well as there was a small line for purchase when we arrived.. When it was our turn, the friendly cashier was putting together our order and this is what we got to try Bacon Maple Bar Mango Tango Viscous Hibiscus Blueberry Cake Memphis Mafia Sprinkle Cake Oh Captain, My Captain Chocolate Old Fashioned Chuckles My favorite was the Memphis Mafia. It contains: Fried dough with banana chunks and cinnamon covered in glaze, drizzled in chocolate and peanut butter with peanuts and chocolate chips on top. Our overall experience at Voodoo Doughnuts was cool and we both enjoyed the variety of donuts. In my opinion, I would recommend Voodoo Doughnuts if you are in the Hollywood area and want to try unique donuts flavors. Next time we go, we are going to try other donuts they have.

Donuts galore! My favorite is the Portland donut filled with bavarian cream, soooo good. We also tried the Wicked green donut with apple filling, yummmm. We also got the voodoo doll one because he was so cute, tasty too. I wish I could try all the flavors, they all look really good and creamy. Expensive for $5 each but they are a must try. No need to go to Portland anymore. One of the best doughnuts I have ever tried.

Voodoo offers so many interesting combinations created and my kids love them. They offer the classics, vegan, and specialty donuts, prices ranging from $3-$5. If you are a donut lover, you'll love Voodoos. I suggest not going an hour before closing. They sell out of their popular donuts and have limited selection by that time. A clean and friendly location.

I was the last customer of the day, and thanks to Kenny for accommodating with a big heart and smile like he just started his shift. I bought the doughnuts because of the hype. Some are good, and some are just ok. I guess it depends on each individual. It's located at the Universal Walk, close to the center area. It's a must try. 8-23-2024

The last time I went to Voodoo Doughnuts was on a trip to Portland. On my recent trip to Universal Studios Hollywood I was able to revisit Voodoo and I was so glad I did. I purchased three doughnuts, the ODB, the Chuckles and the Memphis Mafia. Out of the three, the Memphis Mafia was hands down my favorite. It consisted of fried dough with banana chunks and cinnamon covered in glaze drizzled in chocolate and peanut butter with peanuts and chocolate chips on top. Goodness...just typing this is making my mouth water. I'm going to grab another bite and I think you should too!! Check it out if you get out to Universal City Walk or if you're in the Portland area.

After dinner we came in here for a donut. The decor is super fun and cute. I ordered the maple bacon and it was delicious. The maple flavor was okay, but the bacon combined with the maple made the donut. My only disappointment was my donut was cold, and my friend who ordered after me got a warm maple bacon. I would've liked a warm one, but it was still flavorful.

I used to really like this place in my early 20s, but now in my 30s, it's not the same anymore. For the price, the quality of the donuts are comparable to that of the sketchy donut shops in LA - they're very dry and dense. Some of the flavors are fun like the Grape Ape and the Dirt, but the frosting is sweet to a point it makes me regret it. Now that I'm older, I prefer lighter and more fluffy textures with more muted flavors, which is not the case here. Probably the only flavor that has aged well for me is the Maple Bacon because the bacon isn't too hard but actually pretty chewy. The way they package the donuts is also very on point with way the cheap donut stores do it. For example, if you get half a dozen, they will stack the donuts on top of each other that all the frosting from the top donut will melt onto the bottom donut. Sometimes the bottom donuts will get smashed. If you see the photos other Yelpers have posted of their boxes, you'll see what I mean. Quality donut shops won't do this. They'll package them nicely and arrange them side by side so that they don't smash. Despite leaving a less than great review, I do see myself coming here on very rare occasions when I'm at Universal, since indulging in theme park food lowers my taste buds. I don't see myself getting boxes here anymore because I don't want smashed donuts, so I'd probably only get 1 and enjoy it while it's hopefully fresh.

This is my first time visiting a Voodoo Doughnut location outside of the original in Portland. My daughter and I had the pleasure of placing our order with Jose at the register. He was such a joy to deal with. He really took a moment to be kind and talk to us since my daughter was having medical issues today. He also went over passholder discounts with me, and even threw in a little extra magic in the form of a "Little Pink" doughnut to brighten my daughter's evening and lift her spirit. He was so sweet, he definitely turned our day around. In addition to the "Little Pink", we had ordered the Maple Bacon Bar, Chuckles, and the Memphis Mafia. All of them were great choices, sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. We'll definitely be back to try some more options, there were too many to choose from.

1. Location - only worth a visit if you are already going to eat at Universal City walk, going to movies there or visiting Universal City Walk. I say this because you have to pay for parking and navigate your way through their parking structure. 2. Selection - great selection of donuts but prices can be steep ranges from $2.50 to about $5 PER donut

Wow! The hype is real with this place. Would I stand in line for a couple hours? No. But at this location, and maybe it was the time of day we were there, the line wasn't very long. We got a maple bar to share and I wish I had bought one just for myself lol. There's something abot their dough that is light, but has that great bouncy texture. It also wasn't overly sweet. Had a nice balanced flavor. We will definitely be back.

If I ever want a snack for later or breakfast for the next day, and am leaving Universal, I pop into Voodoo Doughnut. You shouldn't be venturing to Universal just for Voodoo, that would be foolish! The parking alone! But when at Universal Studios, the AMC here or something else - why not get a sugar filled carb!? I enjoy their chocolate old fashioned and cake donuts way more than their yeast. But if they have some adorably cute and themed yeast donut? Well I'm a sucker for a peanut butter filled bunny for Easter, so I'm buying it lol. Cuteness will always win for me. Their chocolate frosting though is legit! The shop is so fun, something to look at in every direction. They have a ton of merch for sale but also I love their rotating display of donuts. Makes for a fun way to check out their options. Staff is always friendly! There is always a line, hopefully not out the door, but it always moves quickly and staff is ready to help. I've been going to Voodoo since Portland years ago, and I'll keep on, keepin' on!

The voodoo worked! I was in a daze after my first bite of their old fashioned maple. The sugary syrup frosting caked on top of their soft, fluffy dough had me ready for more. But I held back and only did the one even tho temptation was knocking harder than the police at the trap house. Located in the City Walk district of Universal Studios, Voodoo donuts was a must try. My family and I knew we'd be making a stop to their shop the only question was when? Well after a long day of thrills and walking across Universal Studios we were famished for a boost of sugar. Luckily the line was short which is rare for this place. The outside and inside decor is super unique and colorful. Their merch was calling my name but after spending so much already my wallet wouldn't open for anything besides donuts. Ended up only spending $12 here for 3 donuts. Felt like I got off cheap lol. We went with basic donuts as opposed to some of their other ungodly creations. Glazed, round chocolate ring and the old fashioned maple. Everyone loved it and we left happy. Whenever I'm in a town with a Voodoo donuts I plan on making a trip from here on out!

Like the doughnuts here and it's a nice treat, but didn't like that they charged me $1 more than is on the menu. When I asked the employee about it they said "I guess so".

Quick service even with a long line. Prices are in line with the PNW locations and just as tasty. Vegan options. The staff was diverse and inclusive, and very accommodating to the different kinds of guests visiting Universal Studios. Very energetic atmosphere.

VOODOO DOUGHNUT Universal CityWalk HOLLYWOOD The most adorable and cutest doughnuts that are surprisingly also DELICIOUS AND FRESH AF SERIOUSLY YOU GOTTA TRY the voodoo doughnut the raspberry filling one I got !! IT'S so satisfying ! And so cute ! Don't forget to take pics outside haha posing like the doughnut BUT I recommend eating max 1 that size in a sitting lol AND BRING WATER WITH IT. :) -LIVING WITH LUCI FOLLOW ME FOR MORE '

Stopped in to Voodoo Doughnut to see if they had vegan donuts (and they do!) I was pleasantly surprised to see a handful of options and ended up getting the peanut butter and jelly donut. It was filled to the brim with jelly -- so if that's your jam, this donut is for you! Overall, it has super fun decor and friendly staff. It's a bit pricey but c'est la vie when you're on vacation, right?

tl;dr the doughnut quality is standard, while the prices are premium -- enjoy the treats for their fun twists, but don't expect the flavors to blow you away Portland has been the origin of its fair share of popular dessert shops, and perhaps none is as well-known as Voodoo Doughnut. Since 2003, Voodoo has achieved fame for its diverse and ambitious doughnut lineup and off-the-wall extracurricular activities (certified, in-shop wedding, anyone?). Plenty of Portlanders lament Voodoo as tacky and touristy, but that hasn't repelled the rabid hype that follows each new Voodoo outpost that has opened outside Portland. Since 2017, Angelenos have also been able to pick up Voodoo Doughnut locally at the Universal CityWalk. And as an unofficial doughnut aficionado, in the country's most doughnut-centric city, I couldn't wait to pay Voodoo a visit. The hot pink storefront looks like a larger-than-life doughnut box, further accented with custom neon signs and a 10-foot tall Voodoo Doll doughnut standing guard. The inside room is dizzyingly colorful, among the bright pink walls, Voodoo-themed stained glass windows, and pastel tile floors. Mildly macabre decorations, including a life-sized coffin and slightly spooky art pieces, further personalize the space. A picture menu is protected within a coffin-shaped frame, and donuts of each variety spin within 2 glass, multi-tiered display cases up front. Early 2000s tunes blast echo around the room. After a full day at Universal, Voodoo still boasted a long queue looping around the room; efficient service ensured a palatable wait. Despite studying the eclectic menu, I knew I had to try the signature Voodoo Doll. It was most comparable to a Long John, carefully decorated to look like its namesake. The dough itself was surprisingly dense and sweet -- my partner commented that it reminded her of a potato roll. The thick layer of chocolate frosting was evenly spread, but the raspberry jam filling was absent above chest level. Ultimately, I was let down. At later visits to the Portland locations, I've been more impressed by the Memphis Mafia fritter (a subtly addictive banana-forward concoction overloaded with peanut butter and chocolate toppings that exceeds most non-apple fritters) and the special Dirty Chai (glazed with intense espresso frosting and piped with spiced Chai Bavarian cream). While more adventurous than the standard mom-and-pop shop, even Voodoo's most innovative flavors feel tame within LA's eclectic new-wave doughnut scene. Further, the doughnuts are mostly standard in quality, yet sport a nearly $5 price tag. As such, I understand the perspective of the Voodoo detractors. Nonetheless, for any doughnut connoisseur unable to make the pilgrimage to Portland, rest assured that Voodoo will at least be cheaper than any other treats at Universal.

One of my favorite donut shops they have vegan options. They are delicious. Literally cannot tell the difference. The first time I had this was in a Denver airport was so excited to learn that they had one here in LA tons of options. Maple bars are my go to and I love the theme as well.

I stopped by here because I knew they had special, creative donuts. And today I wanted to pick up some Valentines donuts to bring home to my wife. Well wouldn't you know, they completely ran out of valentine's donuts. The day before Valentine's, how do you run out of Valentine's donuts? Someone needs to do a better job planning their inventory.

Go for the experience! The donuts aren't bad, but I definitely had better elsewhere. Got the blueberry, Oreo, and crunch/cereal donut. The Oreo was the best one. Service was fast and staff was nice. I love the decor inside!

We came in the evening. Alot of donut choices were sold out at this point. The big coffee machine was already shut off and being cleaned. Only regular brewed coffees and tea were available. Not too impressed since I didn't get a chance to try any of their specialty donuts. And the line was long; it started at the door. The only plus was the staff was friendly and apologetic that the choices we wanted were unavailable. I did eventually buy 1 double chocolate donut (the frosting was good, but the donut was a little cake-like and somewhat dry) and the maple bacon donut - a maple bar with 3 small pieces of bacon on top (pretty expensive at $4.50). My son liked it but probably wouldn't get it again at that price. I'm gonna come back during daytime business hours so I can try again and get the donuts I wanted to try (the Mango one and the strawberry one).

I wanted to see what all the hype was about. The store was clean with nice decor and displays. Everything was arranged nicely and neatly. We bought the voodoo doll, the chuckle, and another whose name I don't recall. Our total came out to $14+, which is high for 3 donuts. There was nothing extraordinary about the taste of their donuts. Maybe my expectations were too high. There's nothing enticing me to start craving for something and needing to go back for more. The clerks were nice and courteous though.

We visited VooDoo a 7pm. The donut was fresh! The staff friendly. So much merch to check out. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed.

tried out Voodoo Doughnut last night--this is the only location in SoCal! really, the doughnuts were good, but nothing extremely special in my opinion. the bubblegum one tasted like bubblegum but only a little bit, so it couldve used more flavor. service was fine, and inside the place was really cute with the pink colors. I don't think there was seating inside either. not sure if I would come back but it was a good experience nonetheless!

Just "aight" (translation: just alright, okay, acceptable) This place is surely magical. When you walk through the doors, you're met with whimsy and novelty galore. I love this place for its ambiance but the doughnuts are pretty average. There are a few standouts that shine above the rest: Apple Fritter and Portland Cream. The seasonal Apple Cider Doughnut was actually pretty incredible. However that's as much of the horn I can toot. Service is always great.

The branding is everything here! I love the vibe of this place. Everything from the decor to the voodoo doll doughnut with a pretzel through the heart is on point. Doughnuts are my number one weakness when it comes to sweets, so it was only a matter of time before I tried Voodoo Doughnuts. I'm at Universal CityWalk all the time and I have avoided this place until I just couldn't any longer. I finally caved, knowing good and well it would be the first of many visits. What surprised me most were the prices of the donuts. Taking into account that it is in a heavily traveled tourist spot, I would have imagined them to be priced a bit higher. I'm certainly not complaining because it means I will be back more often now. I'd say this place is definitely a must visit and a nice alternative to the expensive Simpson donuts they sell at Universal Studios. The Chuckles was my doughnut of choice. A raised yeast doughnut with chocolate frosting dipped in mocha powder and topped with peanuts and caramel and chocolate drizzle. It was simply delicious! Although the doughnuts are the stars here, they also offer coffee and other drinks as well. Because of course nothing goes better with a doughnut than a nice cup of coffee. The location is prime as is with everything in CityWalk. I will say that I was there when they first opened for the day so I'm hoping my next visit brings the same freshness that the first visit did. I'll let you know in about an hour when I go!

My wife and I have been to the Portland locations and were blown away by how good these donuts were. We brought back a dozen to Bend where we were renting a cabin with a bunch of family. We ate them for a couple days and they were still good. This place for some reason does not live up to the Portland locations. The staff aren't necessarily rude, but they are not friendly and seem like distracted or something, not paying attention to what you're saying. We came here in March 2024 and thought this, then came back yesterday to give them another chance. The guy that took my order was looking around while I was talking to him and didn't hear one of the donuts I ordered. The donuts themselves were not great either. Like many have said, they almost taste old even if you eat them right away. I got an apple fritter, which was ok, but the raised donuts we got were not impressive. We gave them another shot, but probably won't come back to this location.

Voodoo Doughnuts was on my list of places I wanted to go and I'm so happy I got to stop by the Universal CityWalk location. I had no idea what to order and the staff was so helpful in making my decision. I went with the voodoo doll doughnut. It a chocolate glazed doughnut with raspberry filling. Paid a little under $5 for it and it was worth every penny. First off, this thing was bigger than my hand. The chocolate was so sweet and delicious and that raspberry filling.....YES PLEASE!!!!! There's so many other flavors that I need to try and you bet your a** I'll be taking more trips to whatever location I can find to try them! Two thumbs up from me!!

I'm originally from the PNW so Voodoo Doughnut is a cultural staple for me. That being said, when I moved to California, I wasn't expecting to see one here until I went through the Universal City Walk. I've had the Voodoo doll before and it was still of high quality. I tried the PBJ doughnut, which I've never seen before, and it was SO good. The frosting basically tasted like slightly sweetened peanut butter which is what I needed it to be. The line moved quickly and the staff were kind. This is definitely a smaller shop but I loved the aesthetic (and the giant voodoo doll doughnut on the outside). I'd definitely come back here the next time I'm in town!

This is 100% a me problem. It just doesn't feel the same going to a VooDoo that is in a massive corporate complex in California. Having been to locations in Portland and Eugene this location lacks the magic of those spots. The donuts also seemed to lack a little something - didn't seem as fresh. The staff a little less friendly (but not at all rude) That said still stoked to visit this location (as were my kids) upon a recent visit to this tourist trap. It's a nice reminder of how great this Oregon landmark is and how fun their donuts are

Great location at Universal City Walk. Have also been to the locations in Portland and Austin. Always like starting a day at Universal with a doughnut or two and a coffee from Voodoo. Occasionally will take a box home, pictured here will be some of the personal favorites: PB & J, Grape Ape, Oh Captain My Captain, Voodoo Doll, Mango Tango, and Maple Cream.

Tried Voodoo since we were at Universal. Not bad but honestly, nothing spectacular either. Certainly not destination-worthy and not exactly worth a mention on the "best donuts" list..
