Randys Donuts

Terrible oily donuts. Tried the crondy (croissant donut). Took 3 bites and exchanged it for a plain sugar donut. Took one bite and gave up. The oil in the fryer is too old and I think too cold so both donuts were extra oily and sour/bitter. Also had the ham cheese croissant which was also extra greasy but tasted good at least. Bottom line is that Randy's is already pricier and for as bad as it was it's a definite do not go.

The time for closing I guess has changed for this location. Would be nice and professional to change the hours on your entrance. Just an FYI.

Large variety of donuts, several types of flavors, types and even sizes! Goodness the blueberry icing was the best one out of the fous. The s'mores one was not overly sweet!

Just added this place as one of my go-to donuts spots after trying it out. Their donuts are light and airy with a slight chew. The butter crumb raised donut was my favorite.

Despite not being a donut fan, Randy's is the one spot that keeps me coming back. I was excited to have one in my hometown and they luckily had the jalapeño cheese and ham croissant which has always been sold out at their LA locations. However it looked like my Boyf and I got the last 3 croissants they had in stock and it was only 10:30 in the morning. We also tried the chai tea latte which was yummy and tasted of cinnamon and sugar and was creamy. Definitely less of a tea latte and more of a sweet drink but was still enjoyable. Their ham and cheese croissants are some of my favorite ever and their donuts are exceptional. Everything I've had here I've enjoyed. I will say I felt bad for the one worker who was having to be the cashier as well as make all the drinks and package the donuts. She seemed to be overwhelmed and while there weren't many of us waiting, she was having to run around to fulfill orders which didn't seem fair as Randy's is generally a popular place and needs more workers. She did a great job and we left satisfied

6a these donuts never disappoint!!! That cinnamon roll, blueberry, and long John choco filled are in my top 4 of 5 with also cruellers. Selection is always nice and service is always ready for you to order. Like that the place isn't as crazy when I go to where it's always an in and out the door. Some spots to enjoy a cup of Joe and donut in the store.

When I think of Randy's Donuts, the iconic gigantic donut atop the original location near LAX is what comes to mind. It's the "go to" location after landing in Los Angeles or as you're getting ready to leave the area. Initially, that was the only location to get some of their delicious donuts. However, in recent times, Randy's donuts has expanded their locations throughout Southern California.This particular location is in the city of Santa Ana. It's conveniently just off of the 55 freeway on 17th Street. Randy's donuts is in a small shopping center but is situated closer to the main road. There is plenty of parking as the lot is quite large.When we first arrived, we honestly thought that it was closed. Chairs were on top of tables and it looked pretty empty. We didn't see a lot of people inside, so we almost didn't go in.However, as we were looking through the window, we saw some people in the back. So, we walked in!As soon as we stepped inside, I was feeling a little disappointed. They didn't have a large selection in their display case. They said that they were pretty much fresh out because it was Father's Day. I was definitely taken aback because they were only 4 hours away from closing. I figured that they would have made more donuts, but we still chose a couple from what was left.We got an old fashioned glazed donut and a chocolate bar. They honestly didn't look too appealing. But, it was going to come down to the taste test! I took one bite out the glazed donut and surprisingly, it was pretty good. It melted in my mouth. It had the perfect amount of sugar, not making it too sweet It was actually quite light and fluffy. I had to take a second bite to make sure that I wasn't imagining this. It was really good!My husband had the chocolate bar donut. Again, it didn't look fresh and we really went sure of how it would taste. Just like the glazed donut, it was light and fluffy. It tasted like it was freshly made! The frosting on the donut was really good. It didn't crumble when we took a bite. Overall, I can say that Randy's Donuts lives up to its reputation of selling delicious donuts. I have been to the original location and the donuts are just as good as the ones that are served at the Santa Ana location. I would advise people to come early so that you have more to choose from. If we are passing through, I would definitely stop by topick up a few more donuts.

So finally I gave Randy doughnuts a try to see what the hype was all about. I realized when I saw the giant doughnut that I've seen at universal studios. They have some unique doughnuts I don't know if it was due to late afternoon but the doughnuts lacked flavor, were a bit on the greasy side and the texture was hard. I tried the churro doughnut I do not recommend the churros were hard and tasteless. The place was empty no other costumers were there but it was abit dirty floors were sticky. They have basic flavor coffee which is ok Starbucks to the rescue.

"I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Paola, and wow--she completely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with a warm smile and such genuine enthusiasm that I immediately felt like a VIP. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. It wasn't just customer service; it was a master class in how to make people feel valued and appreciated. Paola anticipated every need before I even had to ask, and even remembered small details from our last visit that made the experience feel personal and thoughtful. Her professionalism mixed with such a friendly, down-to-earth attitude is a rare find these days. If you're lucky enough to have Paola help you, trust me--you're in excellent hands. She's the reason I'll keep coming back!"

The time is 7:16pm. Location has closed early. Staff inside cleaning up.. waiving at me that it's closed. Very disappointed. Will continue going to small mom and pop donut shops that stick to their schedule.
