Clark’s Island Donuts

I’ve been following this truck like crazy! I was super excited to see them in West Valley. I’ll keep this short and simple:
Pros: made to order, pillowy texture, overall good malasadas.
Cons: SUPER LONG WAIT. I mean like 40 – 50 mins for a dozen. There wasn’t a line or it wasn’t busy. I almost gave up and requested for a refund, but I waited. I didn’t like the chocolate filling was really sweet. Too sweet for my taste. Custard is ok. I would get just the original with cinnamon sugar. Production in the kitchen needs to figure out a better way to speed up the process– or you’ll lose customers. Time is money.
Star deduction for long wait times and not getting the donuts out quickly enough and I have an overly sweeten custard filled malasada.
Would I go back again? Meh… Probably not. Would I recommend? Yes, at least once. I have had Leonard’s (in Oahu) and Zippy’s (in Maui), comparable? It’s close.

Step away from the donuts ma’am. I think they are suspect. Here let me try them all out for you.
They are awesomely addicting with zero calories. OK maybe lying about the calorie thing bit seriously amazing.
My wife from Hawaii always something negative to say about island food here. Not these. Oh so yummy

Have you ever had a really amazing day? Like, at the end of it when you’re laying in bed and thinking about it, you can hardly believe everything that happened is real life?
Or like, maybe it’s a whole weekend? Or a vacation? I dunno… you pick the metaphor. Whatever seems kinda dreamy and idyllic from beginning to end. And that’s what eating one of these donuts is like. Once it’s over, you wonder if it was really real. They’re so light, and so airy, yet filled with a heavy custard – flavors change; I sampled a custard and a chocolate. Even though those two textures are completely different, somehow they just work together.
It ain’t cheap, but the best things aren’t usually. Actually, it’s much less expensive than you’d think. I mean, $ 1.25 is pretty cheap, and even though there are larger donuts in the world, that’s a decent price.
Grab one. it will take you back to that weekend. Or it will transport you to the waterfront, while you listen to the waves lap the beach in front of you, and you drift off into a warm, donut-​fueled weekend.

These donuts are fantastic. Hot, made fresh, it’ll be the best part of your day. Whenever they’re nearby I make a point to go past and get a few donuts. Find Clark’s Island Donuts, and enjoy.

I loved this dounut. Super fresh and warm, made on the spot! I got the coconut cream filled. The owner came and chatted with us, he’s so friendly. He even took our photo while we were enjoying our dounuts. I highly recommend grabbing a donut from here, the best dounut in town! You can’t beat a yummy treat for $ 1.50. Well worth it. Their food truck is currently on Center St. in Orem by the Sodalicious.

These Portuguese donuts are super popular in Hawaii. So this Hawaiian family, the Clarks, brought the specialty to Utah and did not disappoint. I’ll tell you my favorite. Coconut. Oh and guava, custard, and mango! Ok so they’re all good of course but you gotta try and see which is your favorite!
The owners are very friendly. I hear they do catering and events which I think is awesome to have malasadas everywhere. Enjoy!

It’s for sure a premium donut. The texture and flavor both leave the KK raised glazed far behind.
It’s not cheap, but just one is very satisfying. I had one custard filled, and it was great.
I’m unsure about the address listed here at Unilocal,i didn’t see or try this trailer until it was parked out in front of sprinkler world on center in orem.
It’s worth the buck and a bit to find out what a raised donut can really be.

Nothing beats a hot donut! These were so yummy! We’ve been craving Hawaii donuts and we got our fix! Super good. Hubby loved the guava one the best. I liked the coconut and my girls favorite was the custard so basically you can’t go wrong with any of them!

If you haven’t tried Clark’s Island Doughnuts, you need to. TODAY.
I have been following the Clarks since they started, and the malasadas keep getting better and better. With lots of different fillings (coconut, custard, etc), there is plenty of variety here. These malasadas are honestly my favorite dessert. Always fresh and covered in sugar, biting into one of these is like biting into a sugary piece of heaven.
Everyone working in the truck is awesome. Right now, it is located right next to Sodalicious on center street in orem. These pair very well with a mountain dew with peach purée :) If I were you, I would just get one of each kind they offer that day and eat them all. I can seriously put down 4 of 5 of these no problem and not even regret it.
Plenty of flavor, perfect size, and perfectly priced. I used to go to baskin robins or Krispy Kreme for a late night desert, but this is my new spot. They stay open pretty late, and no matter what time you show up, the malasadas are always hot and fresh.
Please please please, go give this place a try. It is AMAZING.

Loved this! The donut tastes delicious. I had a chocolate filled one, very sweet but I throughly enjoyed it. I purchased it to try and share it. That didn’t work out, I didn’t want to share so I bought another one. Haha Super delicious.

Oh my god, sweet savory melt in your mouth deliciousness, soo fresh, and only a 5 min wait for a few donuts. I love the regular cinnamon, and it’s only $ 1.25! Best donuts I’ve tasted in a long time!!!
Definitely worth the stop! ;)

Try to go when there isn’t much of a line. The big selling-​point of Clark’s is that they make the donuts when you order them. Literally when you get there they put the donuts in the fryer so you know you are getting the freshest doughnuts possible. That also means that there can be more of a wait than at other places, but if you have the time it is worth it.

When they said there was a 40 minute wait for doughnuts, I tried to leave in a huff, but my huff tank was already full, and really I needed doughnuts. There was a long line of people waiting, and that hinted at a certain gastronomical legerdemain that I desired. We ordered and ambled to a nearby park for a few.
We got back 38 minutes later, and doughnuts arrived 2 minutes after that. There was one of each type: plain, custard, coconut custard, and chocolate custard. They were light, lovely, and all had a hint of crunch on the outside. All came with cinnamon sugar on the outside.
Best consumed warm.
Coconut cream was my favorite. The chocolate one was a little like a tootsie roll inside, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Therefore if you desire a doughnut and have some time to invest in quality, well then, this is your spot.
