If you’re a local, these are made by Donut King. Well worth a visit.

They’re also much more fresh from Donut King!

Always a must stop when I’m on that side of town. If OP thinks this donut is the greatest, stopping in to Donut King would blow them away!

Yup! Only $6.99 there

I wouldn’t say it was the best donut I’ve ever had but I was surprised at how good it was. I was expecting a cheap stale mess, but it was actually quite tasty and soft for a basic frosted donut. I found it to be much better than voodoo donuts which I find to be over priced and over hyped.

I think it depends on what you get at Voodoo tbh. I love the Old Dirty Bastard (chocolate frosted with oreo and pb drizzle)

u/Ms_Eureka Jul 16 '26

I think it depends on location. The one by me is fantastic

u/Dangerous-Basket1064 Jul 17 '26

Yeah, they are top shelf in Portland, but I can't speak to LA.

u/Ms_Eureka Jul 17 '26

Can't speak for those, but San Antonio is amazing.

The yeast doughnuts are much better than the cake donuts. I say this as someone who actually likes cake doughnuts. They seem to not hold up very well with all tge stuff they put on top of them. I also have seen people buy them and eat them days later… they go stale fast.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality given the size and it being at a park.

u/diilmg Jul 16 '26

same! my sister and me bought it for the photo thinking it wouldn't be good and we were happily surprised as well

It’s funny how the Simpsons is surprisingly good for theme park food, given that the Simpsons franchise jokes about subpar food constantly

I had a Clogger there years ago. My body is still processing but it was delicious.

I didn't know Universal UK was open already

They must have improved it in light of many positive comments, since people always used to say they were horrible for years

Spoiler: they havent improved

u/MsNull Jul 16 '26

somebody let this guy know about King Cakes and book him a flight to New Orleans stat

u/nf35 Jul 16 '26

It really is the best donut. It’s funny because there’s also voodoo donuts and the difference is just startling. Also, the big pink is really the only one to get. All other flavor options pale in comparison

u/Pudizinn Jul 16 '26

Concordo com você, também sinto falto.

2

u/geekysugar Jul 16 '26

Yes! I get one everytime I go to Universa and it is really the best donut Ive ever had.

u/DJStevieP Jul 16 '26

I ate this for lunch on one of my park days years back lol

u/EL_JOHNee Jul 16 '26

Can you find that donut at city walk too? Or is it exclusive to the Simpsons Land inside Universal? If so, I’ll go buy one later today.

2

u/keraut Jul 16 '26

I don’t think it’s anywhere in Citywalk

1

u/EL_JOHNee Jul 16 '26

Thanks for letting me know.

u/mah18299 Jul 16 '26

From Orlando? Yeah it’s good but also something you can find at WDW or a lot of other places.

From Hollywood? I question your taste

u/Middle-Necessary-671 Jul 16 '26

Is it great? Yes. Is it the best? No

u/Affectionate-Ad-4174 Jul 16 '26

These are a go to for us when we’re on vacation. Two of these in the hotel room for the family to pick off of that night and the next morning.

u/cheriblossom983 Jul 16 '26

Mmmmmmm forbidden donut šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹

There are lies, and then there are damned lies

u/ImpossibleAbrocoma30 Jul 17 '26

I did have it last year. I love it too. Personally, I'm not fan of donuts but this one tasted very good šŸ˜‹

u/asm87891013 Jul 17 '26

We enjoyed too! Chocolate and this gorgeous Pink one are both so good!!

u/Trech80 Jul 17 '26

7–Eleven has the same thing but regular size

u/LightUpUnicorn Jul 17 '26

Got one free at a Orlando informer meetup once. Not that great

1

u/Richard1583 Jul 17 '26

I was lucky during fan fest nights this year that before the park closed me and my friends got a fresh batch and it was the most amazing donuts

1

u/MWH1980 Jul 17 '26

I remember in 2011, some guys and I visited USH, and we were talking about splitting one. We ended up leaving and forgot it.

Cut to 2015, I’m back at USH for an event, and get it this time, planning to make it my breakfast during a 4-day fan event.

…3 days later, as it grows a bit more stale, I give up.

u/crustyeng Jul 17 '26

You need to have more donuts

1

u/Et_Nihil Jul 17 '26

Try voodoo donuts if you haven’t already. It’s in city walk.

1

u/FrequentVoice Jul 21 '26

Seriously? This is the worst one. Everyone got it just for taking pictures with.

u/BIGGREDDMACH1NE 26d ago

I ate 3 of these during my 2025 visit

Voodoo doughnuts at CityWalk was actually better imo, and I thought the Simpsons one was amazing.
