Stop By Voodoo Doughnut in Orlando Florida for the Best Donuts

I don’t know about you, but I have a serious sweet tooth so I made sure to look up Voodoo Doughnut locations and managed to stumble upon one in Orlando, Florida during my visit. I’m telling you these are some seriously good doughnuts and it honestly might just be some of my favorite doughnuts too. If you’re visiting Universal Studios or Disney World, this location is perfect because it’s located on the Universal Orlando Resort. Read all about why visiting this voodoo location (or any rather) should be your highest priority below.

What is Voodoo Doughnut?

Voodoo Doughnut is a delicious donut spot offering tasty pastries for your consumption. It was created by Kenneth “Cat Daddy” Pogson and Tres Shannon who are both from Portland, Oregon. Voodoo Doughnut came to life in 2003 and they have been expanding ever since. Included in their expansion is CEO Chris Schultz as of 2017. To date, there are thirteen locations in six different states and there are new stores to come. Ironically, their reason for opening a little shop in their own old town location was because there weren’t any donut locations there at the time.

Voodoo Doughnut Goodies

One thing that drew me to Voodoo Doughnut was their variety of flavors and their freshness. The donuts are baked frequently, and you can even customize your order for special occasions. If you’re a vegan, they have vegan options such as vegan cake donuts and 25 different options you can try out.

Some of the flavor options offered includes cinnamon sugar, chocolate cake doughnut, raspberry jelly (raspberry Romeo), chocolate frosting, bacon maple bar, plain cake doughnut, mini M&M (Marshall Mathers) donut, maple frosting, and apple chunks in their apple fritter to name a few, but there’s plenty more to choose from. There are over 50 flavors and Voodoo Doughnut prices are pretty affordable starting at 95 cents and up.

What Makes Voodoo Doughnut Unique?

Voodoo Doughnut is well known for their signature pink boxes and unconventional flavorings which is partly why they have long lines (in addition to the taste of course). Aside from this, they also give back to their local community and support local nonprofit organizations.

Another thing that makes them unique is that they create specialty donuts for famous individuals who are no longer with us. This can include historical figures, icons, and athletes. It’s Voodoo Doughnut’s way of honoring their legacy and contribution to the world. Keep in mind you cannot purchase these donuts. 

Planning Your Visit to Voodoo Doughnut

I mentioned earlier that there are plenty of Voodoo Doughnut locations that are a part of the Voodoo Doughnut franchise you can visit including Voodoo Doughnut Portland, Voodoo Doughnut Austin, Voodoo Doughnut Vancouver WA, Voodoo Doughnut Houston, and Voodoo Doughnut Denver to name a few. However, I visited Voodoo Doughnut in Orlando located on the Universal CityWalk. 

Voodoo Doughnut hours at this location are Monday-Wednesday from 8am-12am, and Thursday-Sunday from 8am-2am. Keep in mind that the only way to taste these delectable treats are to go in person as the donuts are made fresh on the premises. The donuts are not shipped and aren’t gluten free. You can order your donuts ahead of time depending on the location. Check out Voodoo Doughnut’s website for more info here.

My Experience at Voodoo Doughnut

I enjoyed the ambience and of course the tasty donuts during my visit. I tried the Oh Captain, My Captain donut which has vanilla frosting and Cap’N Crunch cereal pieces and my sister tried the Mango Tango which is filled with mango jelly, topped with vanilla frosting, and Tang. The staff was helpful and professional, and the long line was worth the wait. Before you go, don’t forget to check out their merchandise and gift cards to give the perfect gift.
