If you're looking for a creative and quirky atmosphere to get your fill of tasty spins on a classic american treat, look no further than Voodoo Doughnuts. Set in the heart of City Walk at Universal Studios, this shop is turning the volume up a notch by hand crafting off the wall doughnuts creations that will have you coming back again and again. The eclectic environment sparks plenty of opportunities for photo ops, and has many options to choose from whether you're looking for the traditional or vegan take on the little round morsels. All of the flavors I tried were very fresh. My personal favorites from my first half dozen were the Mango Tango, Diablos Rex, and the Voodoo Doll. The line was fairly long, but it was almost unfelt with the many souvenirs and decorations in the store to help keep your eyes and mind busy, as well as the doughnut carousel set in the heart of the stanchions displaying all the flavors available to choose from.

However great the place may be, there were definitely some areas where they can improve. Although there were many vegan options available to choose from on the menu, most were sold out at the time we went (roughly 6 o'clock), despite them being open until 1 am on Saturdays, which made the selection limited for my girlfriend who couldn't eat the traditional options for dietary reasons. Also, the Doughnuts were all stacked in a deep square shaped box that caused them to melt on each other and ruin the presentation, which made the photo op worthless. If they're looking to take the social media world by storm with glorious photos of these well thought out designs they spend so much time creating in the kitchen, and take advantage of free marketing by satisfied cleintel, they may want to rethink the shape of the sloppily put together shipping container.

All in all, I would definitely return and try them again next time I am in the area.
