    Ham and cheese croissant with jalapeños
    Katelynn R.

    Ham and cheese croissant was absolutely delicious! They asked if I wanted jalapeños and I said hell yes! The pickled spiciness made it even better. The croissant is huge and under $5.

    Blueberry, chocolate with chocolate chips, sprinkle, glazed, chocolate bar, maple bar.

    The service was amazing, they were very kind! $10 for a 1/2 dozen and pretty tasty donuts too. They were so nice they gave us an extra donut. Would recommend for a fast breakfast! They have other options too like coffee, bagels, pastries and more. Very good spot.

    Jalepeno ham and cheese croissant
    Candice N.

    Pretty solid donuts! Looked on yelp to find donuts nearby to bring into work and came across this place because Krispy Kreme doesn't have maple bars and some of my coworkers wanted these. This place is a little hole in the wall shop and if you're from the OC area, I would say this is close to Seaside in Newport. The donuts are good and reasonably priced and they have a pretty good jalepeno ham and cheese croissant. My only complaint with this though is I wish they would spread the jalepenos out. I've gotten it a few times now and they seem to put all of the jalepenos only in one spot. Anyhow, it's definitely a great place to check out if you need a quick donut fix!

    Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Cheddar Bagel

    I came across this place on my way to work one morning in search of a breakfast bagel sandwich, and I was NOT disappointed. I got the sausage, egg & cheese on a cheddar bagel -- AMAZING. I got an iced coffee too while I was there & it was amazing! Not to mention the service is also very personable and quick. I have been recommending this place to all my coworkers and friends now.

    glazed raised donut

    i've always lived super close to ball donut but for some reason never went there until yesterday. it's your typical hole in the wall family donut shop that's owned by a husband and wife (sophie and ricky). the place itself is decorated how you would expect a regular old donut shop to be decorated, with fridges of drinks to the left and a counter with utensils, sugar, and creamer on the right. when you walk in you're immediately greeted by a display case of donuts, ranging from raised donuts, cake donuts, cronuts, croissants, and more. behind the case is tv screens of the cost of everything and additional items they sell, including bagel sandwiches and drinks. i looked through their display case trying to decide which donut to get and was originally going to get a blueberry crumb cake donut (which i've never seen any other donut place have before! usually it's just blueberry or just crumb haha) but i opted against it because i recently had my wisdom teeth removed and wanted something softer so i went with my fail-safe donut: a chocolate raised donut. i also got my dad a ham and cheese croissant. the two items costed me $6.25 ($4.00 for the croissant and $2.25 for the donut) which i felt was a little higher than how much it would cost me at another hole in the wall donut shop (not talking about those specialty donut places like friendlys) but i guess with these trying times and rising costs, the pastries were bound to cost more too. $4.00 seemed high for an ordinary ham and cheese croissant but after receiving it, THAT THING IS MASSIVE so i think it's worth the price. my dad said it was good but a bit too much cheese for his liking. really good if you throw it in the airfryer at home before eating! i, on the other hand, really enjoyed their chocolate raised donut. the donut itself is a bit pale in color, but it was SUPPERR soft and pillow! just how i love my raised donuts. i also liked that they didn't glaze the donut before putting chocolate on top. i love a good plain raised donut with a chocolate top -- it was the perfect sweetness and amazingly soft so i had no problems eating it. i returned the next day on my morning walk before work because it's the only place within walking distance that's open and i wanted to get my boyfriend a plain glazed donut (his favorite). he loved it and said it was super soft and perfectly glazed. i also decided to try their sausage ham & cheese sandwich on an everything bagel and it was okay. not my favorite bagel sandwich ever -- the sausage was just warmed up in the microwave and the ham was just regular deli ham that they sell at costco i'm pretty sure. the bagel was also a bit dense and not the softest. i also was not a big fan of the price -- it was $7 for that thing! it's good to eat if you're there already and craving a bagel sandwich but i would not pay that much for an okay bagel sandwich again. for that price i would rather just go to boil + bake in costa mesa for a really good specialty bagel sandwich. overall a very good donut place to stop by if you're in the area. i personally would just stick to buying their donuts and maybe their croissants if i'm in the mood for them. the owners are really nice and friendly but more so with their regulars. they greeted me and provided me with good service but i definitely did not get the same friendly smiley vibe as others did so i would've appreciated being treated as if i were a friend too, even though i don't frequent the place. also something to note is that you have to spend $5 to pay with a credit card!

Parking at the Anaheim district the evening we visited during the Holidays was super busy! We had to park a few blocks away and walk over. The moment I approached the counter in the food hall, I was pretty excited! This is one of the newer locations in Southern California for Randy's Donuts. My favorite is the classic glaze. Each bite of the classic glaze is soft and slightly sweet. The donut wasn't hard and had a light fluffy texture. The choices are not too extensive compared to other Randy's donuts location but it does have classic choices as well as some creative donuts. You can also get coffee here too! It's great to be able to get donuts and a hot drink, then sit in the courtyard at the Anaheim Packing district! Sometimes this spot can get relatively busy especially on the weekends, but I always have to get a glazed donut from Randy's donuts! It's one of my go to places while I'm in California for Donuts!

    Donuts are great. Service is awful. They have different tiers of donuts and different dozen mixes…read moreto give variety to a customer of the different tiers. The associate quickly ran through all the tiers, she would give me a side eye when I would get a tier wrong. And she was rushing me. Turns out she was going on break right after me which is why she was rushing me. Gave me no time to properly pick out my donuts and she sounded so condescending when I would get a tier wrong. And I'm like, girl I don't work here. All the donuts were set out close to each other so the tiers were not clear. I've never been more stressed just picking out donuts. Awful experience. Go to a different Randy's if you like their donuts.

Too greasy, weird aftertastes, terrible terrible heartburn and upset stomach after... And with these, I didn't experience any of that(a little burpy after, but I mean, it's donuts... LOL) We only tried 3 different donuts, but they were all so bomb. The churro donut was my favorite. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside just like a real churro, but didn't get soggy. The Nutella Malasada was full of Nutella and it was actually my first time trying a malasada... bomb! The cookies and creme mochi was a nice surprise too. The cream was actually very flavorful and not just like a plain creme with Oreos thrown in like I've often seen. I'm sure all of the donuts would be really good here. I will definitely make a trek here again one of these days.

They had hundreds of donuts sitting out, no labels, we had to ask what everything was. Ended up buying four for $13, not bad. Came home and took a bite of each one. None of the donuts tasted fresh, I am sure they were made hours before we bought them. Churro was super hard and stale, salted caramel literally tasted like nothing, blueberry tasted like sweet artificial fruit, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting was the best one. If I lived nearby, I might get that one again, but this is not a place to go out of the way and try.

Thankfully, they took pity on two desperate bread hunters. When they told me the only option was buying an entire tray of 60 Senorita breads, I acted shocked for about half a second before enthusiastically saying, "Deal!" 15 mins later, we were handed a box of pure happiness. Naturally, hubby and I had to perform a thorough quality-control inspection in the car. 6 pieces each later (strictly for research purposes, of course), we confirmed the verdict: fresh, hot, buttery, soft, chewy, perfectly sweet, and dangerously addictive!!! By the time we got home, the box was already looking a little less full. The drive home basically turned into a rolling bread feast!!

It came out warm, buttery, soft, and slightly sweet. Definitely one of those things that's impossible to eat just one of. They have a huge variety of baked goods too. I tried the pistachio and ube mochi donuts which were both delicious, and they also had malasadas filled with different creams, walnut brownies, classic donuts, and lots of fresh packaged bread to take home. The bakery smelled amazing, service was friendly, and everything felt fresh. This is definitely a spot I'd stop at again, especially before heading to Disneyland since it's such an easy and worthwhile stop nearby.

There are always people inside but not crazy busy, and the little line moves quickly. They have a few small tables inside if you want to enjoy your food there.

I really love how hospitable he was and decided to try some of their items. The ambiance is very down to earth, chill, and typical like any donut shop you can think of. There is a lot more room than usual and they also have more food items than what I recall with other donut shops. I saw what seemed like a crepe rolled up pastry with different toppings on it and found out they call them "burrito", but is a dessert type. I got myself one of those "burritos", a bear claw, and an original crueller. "Burrito" - 4.5/5 the flavor was fine and I got the apple topping with cinnamon. Flavor was on point. The texture was a bit hard for my teeth, but nothing horrible. I just prefer softness when it comes to sweets/donuts. Bear Claw - 5/5 It was so moist, perfectly sweeten, and I don't know how they made it look so perfectly portioned to where it actually did look like a clean looking bear claw, but that definitely helped when I was pulling each "claw" and enjoying each bite. Definitely a must have. Crueller - 5/5 it was extremely soft and moist on the first bite. I devoured that thing like nothing in one sitting. I plan to come back and try their other flavors.
