I was having a donut craving today and saw they had a special mango and tajin! So while I was there I got a few others as well! Spacious inside eating area as well! Open 24 hours in case I have a midnight craving haha. The donuts were delicious and tasted nice and fresh! The employee was super friendly and helpful as well! read more

Great tasting doughnuts and nice variety. However very poor organization and execution from the staff. We got shorted doughnuts and heard about friends getting the wrongs drinks and doughnuts. The drive through line should have only one entrance not two, lots of people try to cut the line by coming inside from the side streets. They are on the newish side so hope they train the staff better. Found it faster to go inside versus drive through. The maple and plain glazed is where it's at. The cronuts, cake doughnuts and bars super yummy read more

11th grade 2nd period French 2 class with Monsieur DeWitte was in fact one of my most memorable classes at Venice High School. First, as long as we spoke (or attempted to speak) French 100% of the time, he basically allowed us to set the tone on how the class was conducted. B) M. DeWitte was crazy obsessed with idiomatic expresssions; 70% of our grade was based on using them, a lot. Trois, M. DeWitte was tall and thin and oddly resembled a vampire complete with translucent skin. And even more odd was the fact I aced the class despite missing about 30 minutes every day because it was absolutely mandatory to stop at the donut shop before class. M. DeWitte didn't even bat a wicked eyebrow because when we finally got to class, the French dialog ramped up like a low budget French film sprinkled with teenage drama sans the cigarettes. I love donuts. It's fried dough. Fried dough is delicious and sinful which even more odd, was how M. DeWitte explained the scent of his favorite cologne "Eau Sauvage". My donut fancy began as a child - I loved the plain ones. I was alone in this love so I never had to worry if I was the late to the donut box, there was always a plain donut waiting for me. I still love plain donuts, I guess I always will. If I'm feeling feisty I might opt for a cinnamon sugar donut, but I'll never ever reach for a Trix-vegan-carob-maple-baked-hand-formed-wannabe-donut. Donuts that try too hard are not only atrocious they're downright blasphemous. Randy's donuts are decent. Not perfect nor are they what I would call a favorite. I'll eat one if that's what's in the box and chances are very good if someone I know buys them, there will for sure be a plain one for me. I think Randy's donuts are obnoxiously sweet but maybe that the draw and if so, at least we know they're making 'em fresh. Randy's always has a line of customers. That's saying something about that big donut in the sky. They've ventured into some of those hoity-toity atrocities I mentioned earlier, but you can bet I won't be eating one any time soon. Keep on keeping on Randy's. read more

The doughnuts were really good, close to if not the best I have had. The line was short. There's a drive through option as well. I found it because it was on Food Paradise the Doughnut Paradise episode. As soon as we pulled up my 10 year old said Iron man was here in Iron Man 2. He was right. They also have big Simpsons doughnuts. It was really close to LAX. We all got a different kind and all were very pleased. If we are in the area, We will be back! read more

Randy's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Donuts always sold out, weird workers. Place hasn't been the same for a while seems run down , maybe new owners?

The donuts here have never disappointed. They have all kinds of specialty donuts along with the usual suspects. Beware the big donuts are BIG. A straight glazed is their signature and a good measure of a donut place. Theirs is well done. There is a small seating area inside but nothing to write home about. The staff are usually so busy, I don't think it get regularly cleaned up. The staff are pleasant but I have had a few instances where the service was basic. I think this is due to staffing. They always seem shorted staff which impacts there ability to handle the drive through, etc. The price is typical for the size and quality. Overall, I will continue to come here but have understanding with the staff. read more

Customer service is terrible. Cashier yanked the money out of my hand and coins dropped. No "hello" or any greeting for that matter. I'm

My sister and I just happened to be driving down Harbor Boulevard the other day when we saw the Randy's iconic huge donut. I have only heard about the Randy's Donuts in LA but I have never been. So...did we stop?? You bet we did! We walked in and proceeded to pick out a dozen with no rhyme or reason. A dozen donuts set us back $20. I remember when a dozen donuts were $7. I guess I'm old. Anyways, we brought the donuts home to share with our family. Some were good and a couple were not. The apple fritter was great. We consider ourselves apple fritter connoisseurs and theirs did not disappoint. The maple crueller was too eggy and didn't have enough flavor. The pink sprinkle cake donut was good and pretty. The fruity pebble donut was too doughy and the fruity pebbles were soggy. The Butter Crumb raised donut was my absolute favorite. It was unique and fresh. I would get more than one of those next time. The blueberry iced donut was also pretty good. The service was good and friendly. They have a drive thru which is open 24 hours. It's a good thing they are located about 2 hours from where I live. read more

I've never went to Randy's but I heard it was good. I'm pregnant I live close and I was craving a donut so I went. It's raining and a little dark so their menu was hard to read. They didn't have the donut I wanted so I asked what they had for boba. It was too dark to read the menu and the rain made it worse. The drive thru worked was already rude before this question but replied with "look at the menu under boba". I understand there's a menu but it's also just hard to read. I have never wanted a donut from here and I won't ever be wasting my money on a place like this I just drove away after that. To add I was not rude at all or asked 100 questions I just asked if they had anything chocolate left and what their options for boba were. The worker was rude to both questions and rude in general that I came around 6:30 to get a donut. read more

I was just here picking up my DoorDash order through the curbside and I just have to say I got the best customer service from Kimmie and from McKenna! They totally went out of their way to make sure I had a phenomenal experience. Thank you so so much. it's really hard to find this type of customer service nowadays. Super impressed. And the donuts were delicious! read more

It was so fun walking to the big donut sign :) Lady at the counter was super friendly and added to the positive experience for sure! Highly recommend the Texas sized donut for the full experience :0) read more

Love the big donut on the roof! Reminds me of Ironman stopping over for a donut after rescuing the world. Anyways, I have been to the Randy's Doughnut on Rosecrans Blvd by El Segundo. A friend told me that they opened up a branch near me. This one is in Costa Mesa on Harbor Blvd. We stopped by here after our lunch at Mogu Mogu. I love to smell of the store when I went inside. I also very excited to see all the different flavor donuts displayed by the counter. Although they have the typical donut flavors but still plenty enough to choose from. I wasn't able to decide and finally picked the strawberry donuts with sprinkle, the maple donut and the long john. A great sweet dessert after lunch. The employee is very nice and was very patient waiting for me to make up my mind on my order. Easy parking and not too busy when I was there after 2pm. read more

To be honest, I was shocked to see the enormous Randy's Donut being installed in the skyline down Harbor Blvd. Like many others, I had heard of Randy's in Los Angeles, but never actually gone. I mean, a donut is a donut, right? Well, no, no really. As a self-proclaimed donut aficionado, I've been around the block once or twice, and actually held to the creed that even a bad donut is still an okay donut. Randy's changed all that. The fried dough they dish out is nothing short of amazing! They've ruined me ... I just can't eat bad donuts anymore. I've gone to Randy's twice now, and every time has been perfect. Now granted, I'm a simple man, and I enjoy simple pleasures like a cream filled Long John and a chocolate milk. And Randy's delivers! The stuff is so good, you just want to roll around on the floor with it. But I digress ... One thing to note is the AMAZING level of customer service. All of the people I've encountered there are top notch. I mean, the place had the same friendly vibe and conscience courtesy as Chick-Fil-A (which is the gold standard of customer service, in my humble opinion). It's nice to find a place that values their customers. Bottom line? It doesn't matter if it's early morning or late at night, this place will scratch your donut itch (and don't forget the chocolate milk)! read more

Light, airy, buttery, raised. So good! My favorite is the matcha donut and then butter crumb next. You gotta go! Huge donut makes a fun novelty piece to visit the location but has the goods to back it up. Notes: None read more

I find myself here almost daily to do homework and watch my lectures while I enjoy a donut. I have always had amazing experiences here. RD the supervisor is so sweet and so are the rest of the employees. When they run low on donuts, RD is super accommodating by recommending new donuts I haven't tried yet. He is so kind and has such a genuine and kind heart, placing his customers satisfaction above everything else. Definitely deserves a raise as he truly goes above and beyond for his customers and the Randy's company. He always makes sure the store is clean, quiet and welcoming. Definitely a great place for everyone to come and enjoy donuts, local Kean coffee, boba, milkshakes and more! read more

I ordered one dozen fancy donuts this morning to bring to work. When I got to work there were only 9 in the box. I won't be going here any more. $31 + $5 tip seems excessive for only 9 donuts. My friend and I at work had a good laugh though. The most important thing about workin at a donut shop is to be able to count to 12. LOL read more

Randy's Donuts - My glazed Donut! - Donuts Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My friend and I are on a quest to find the best local doughnuts. I've been to Randy's in LA before, it's well known as a top tier doughnuttery, but we had to give the Costa Mesa spot a "quality assurance" test. My very scientific taste test includes 1 glazed raised (classic doughnut) and 1 chocolate long john - and I'm happy to report that both were excellent. Randy's dough formula is floofy and delicious, totally living up to the hype. The glazed raised is a 5/5 God-tier doughnut, they've really got it down to a science. The chocolate long john was a 4/5 - only because the frosting isn't the best I've ever had (just my opinion). Even so this is still a top tier doughnut. My friend likes to just get a dozen randoms for us to also try, and to our surprise, the Coconut-dusted doughnut was a sleeper pick for the best of the box. His favorite was the glazed twists. Hopefully reading this review wasn't a complete waste of your time!!! read more

You can't go to Inglewood without stopping at Randy's Donuts! I've been to this location one time when I went to see a show at The Kia Forum. I went after the show let out and there was a line of people waiting to get their donuts. The man standing in front of my friend and I was drunk and being a bit loud. He ended up slapping a wad of cash down and bought the entire line a dozen of donuts each! What a great first experience and it's always the place I hit up when I'm in the area! read more

What can I say, Randy's Donuts in Orange County, I asked for this awhile back in my Randy's review for the Downey, CA location. Decided to evade the hype moments of opening day, week, and month. Instead, ended up here on a cloudy, not-so-busy Tuesday in May. The timing could not have been more perfect. There were 3 people ahead of us in line, and the line was fast. We went incredibly simple on this visit, 4 Glazed Crondies (Randy's croissant donut) and an iced coffee for the mister. As we took a seat on the couch inside, the donuts were great as usual, no complaints on taste. Customer service was fine, nothing spectacular, but nothing terrible either. Browse the menu or look behind the glass case for something tantalizing. They have all the donuts that the other Randy's locations have, and if you want the freshest selections ask for the ones off the rack if they don't automatically give you those. If I am feeling donuts and near a Randy's, you can bet I'll stop by. Now that it's finally here in OC, how about erecting one in Anaheim next?!?! Let me know!!!! read more

Hello my name is tyler i'm usually a regular around the PM i love getting randy's donuts when im off my shift at work i love this place but i got to say im starting to get tired of the new guy with the pony tail or long hair with the beard , he's always giving me attitude like he doesn't wanna be there and sometimes when i go with my girlfriend he's literally flirting with her in front of me and she felt very uncomfortable, we haven't been to randy's ever since this and i really don't want to come here anymore because of that . read more

Love that the Costa Mesa location has a drive thru! The Texas Glazed donut is the size of a whole entire plate! Such a good price for one donut. Caramel macchiato was a little bit on the sweeter side. I'd recommend asking for half sweet if you don't normally like your coffee super sweet because they're generous on the caramel. Drive thru line could be long during busy hours. They might run out of certain donuts later in the day as well. read more

TERRIBLE! Been there 3 times since they've opened on Tuesday. (3/11/2021) The first day they opened - you'd think since it was their "Grand Opening" in Orange County that you'd get that 'feeling of excitement' once you got there but it was the exact opposite. It was unorganized and felt as if no one knew what they were doing. So disappointing. No free donuts and the girl at the drive thru didn't look to comfortable bending/crouching down to give us our order. Second visit was 3/10/2021 @ 4 in the afternoon - the day after & still the same thing. Unorganized, lots of people in line in the rain, short staffed (maybe because 2 of the employees were in the sitting area of the shop going over paperwork etc. When line is busy and out the door and you have customers standing in the rain - it would've been nice if those 2 employees sitting inside came out and greeted us and let us know that we would be served soon etc. Third visit was this morning @ 1:45 am - long line at the drive thru. Line did not move for a very long time. An employee came out at around 2:15ish and took a picture of the line and then went back in. I could hear her telling a customer in line (drive thru line) that her boss didn't believe there was a line that early in the morning. Y'all have been opened for less than a week. Your advertisement says that drive thru is open 24/7. Y'all should have been more prepared. Get it together Randy's! read more

Wanted to check out this place since I heard so many good reviews about it! With so many good donut places in the OC already, it's just another regular donut place. They have all your original flavors and some more like cereal donuts, sprinkles, green tea, etc. I only got the original glazed donut, since I specifically wanted to come try the green tea donut but it was sold out at the time I came. Good, friendly, and helpful service though! read more

I was going to sneak up at 5am, LOL so did a few other folks. Cant complain its brand new and the excitement is kewlio. Plenty of parking, I did the drive thru and the wait was a little long but Im guessing folks just had questions. Once my order was in it was straight to the window. At 5am they didn't have 2 choices we had wanted but pretty much everything else. I had scoped out the menu before hand so I had my line up. LOL The guy taking orders was super polite and helpful. The young lady taking money was as well. My kids enjoyed the back up specialties I got them and my line up was super fresh. The test for me was the blueberry, I live next to what I thought was the #1 BB spot. I have to say the Randys was better. The menu looks fun, they have KEAN coffee drinks and Im looking forward to going back. Oh yeah, the donut box was actually a nice lil box. Like stronger and tougher than most shops. Yeah its a little thing but still kewlio. Welcome to OC!! read more

While the donuts are delicious, I've never seen an establishment consistently be out of 90% of their menu majority of the time I have gone. And it doesn't seem like it's due to demand as I've never seen the Costa Mesa location busy.... read more

Opening just a week ago and this place hasn't seen a slow moment. Drive thru is longer wait than walking in so I recommend walking in. Also, try looking up what you want online (kinda hard with donuts) but it'll help keep the line moving! HIGHLY recommend the Cinnamon Toast Crunch donut, comparable to SideCar Donuts but in Costa Mesa! Love the energy of the place and can't wait for the dining room to open up. read more

I grew with a Randy's around me as a child but never really went there or understood the hype. Well as an adult when I moved to orange county decided that I would try this again. I will say that this location is not the greatest when it comes to their drive thru as it pours into the street and harbor blvd is the worst place to be parked for traffic. They do however have enough parking should you decide to just wait in line to go inside which is exactly what we did during our visit. I will be fair and say that I have never really liked doughnuts but was really happy with their colorful selection. The line was long to go in and was afraid they wouldn't have much to choose from but saw that employees were constantly refilling the doughnuts and had plenty of trays ready to go. I decided to simply get a matcha doughnut and was not disappointed. I would definitely drop by again to try the other flavorful doughnuts. read more
