“Currently, we have the opportunity to customize almost any food, from tacos to pizza, so why not allow the public to create their own doughnut?” asked Fenny Yan, owner of poqetDONUTS, who is also an Irvine resident. “We offer a range of glaze options and toppings to satisfy a variety of palates. I tell my guests if they don’t see something they like, to create something they love!”

Production of doughnuts is overseen by a team with more than 30 years of doughnut-making experience. At poqetDONUTS, the culinary team creates custards, fillings, glazes and batters with the great ingredients to ensure that her doughnuts maintain a level of quality that one would expect in a gourmet shop.

The name poqet, pronounced “pocket,” is derived from a folklore story of two best friends who met on a park bench daily to share doughnuts, which were kept in their pockets. The story of these “pocket donut” friends is placed on the wall inside the shop to provide a simple explanation of the name’s origins to guests.
