    Got donuts and a drink. Both were good. I love these donuts. Way better than Dunkin and Krispy because they take days to get stale. They are very soft and the price is great. Took 2 stars off because I didn't like the dude at the counter and he didn't ask if I was rewards and said it's too late to get them; Maybe next time.

    That big round donut on the building.

    It is almost high noon and we were driving on Harbor Blvd when I saw the giant circle of a donut on the building. The lovely missus has been here before. Randy's Donuts!! We must stop and get some for an afternoon snack. We enter the store and see a display case with layers and rows of colorful morning sweetness. It is a challenge for sure. The lemon coated and the plumpy round Raspberry filled were her favorites. I'm going for the mound of an Apple Fritter. It was an easy sale for the friendly gentleman behind the counter. The missus got her purse out and she paid a very fair amount for the fresh and large tasty donuts. It was a big box that we carried out. Randy's Donuts was a super stop for huge "Texas" size snacks and that sugar coated Apple Fritter was exactly what I needed this afternoon.

    Donuts made me the person I am today!

    It's incredibly handy to have a drive-through donut place. Really like the freshness of Randy's donuts and the staff are very helpful. The prices are on the high side, but also their donuts are pretty big, so I do want to recognize that. Please note, they do not sell iced tea. Iced coffee, yes, but no iced tea.

    A slightly burnt apple fritter.

    1st time. But the apple fritter is a bit overdone, hard and super crunchy even though it was about 9am when purchasing. Kinda disappointed. Service was ok. Ambiance was an ok drive through Not sure why its so hard to find a good AF'r.

    Stale donuts

    I'm such a Randy's lover, I think they are the best. Ordered today from the Costa Mesa location and they are absolutely awful. Stale, hard and nothing like the normal unbelievably delicious donuts I have experienced before. Bummer.

    You won't believe how excited I am about this place! We were in the area, so we just had to stop and grab some donuts. We ended up with six donutsand let me tell you, everything about this spot was fantastic. The ambiance was great, the service was spot-on, and the donuts? Incredible! They're definitely bigger than what you'd find at most donut shops, and the pricing reflects that, but they're absolutely worth it. And the roasted coffee was out of this world -- truly outstanding, good flavor. Plus, there was plenty of parking, and the whole establishment was super clean. If you've never tried them, you absolutely must give them a try! You won't regret it.

    First time at this location. I haven't been to a Randy's in many years and it was the Original in Inglewood. Nice selection considering it was laye in the morning. Donuts are fresh and tasty! The staff, Arts was very friendly and welcoming. This location isn't close by but I go to Costa Mesa at least once a month. Definitely will go again!

    Greeted upon entering and wasn't sure if the taste would be the same as the other locations but it was and so yummy! Randy's donuts are high quality and the best maple moist but yet slight fresh crunch of a donut that other places just cannot replicate. The staff was friendly as I took my time to choose 3 dozen donuts for a party. The location is quite new and clean. It even has a section to sit and enjoy your donuts and coffee.

    This was the first Orange County location for Randy's, the LA donut shop, but since its opening, there have been a couple more that were opened up here in OC. It's definitely a great donut choice with lots of options. My favorites are their old-fashioned buttermilk, and Apple Fritters. They are the best over anywhere else!

    Glazed Raised, Chocolate Raised, Butter Crumb Raised, Maple Raised - Costa Mesa, California
    Justin L.

    Honestly, there's nothing really special here. Your local mom-and-pop serving doughnuts in pink boxes probably makes tastier ones. But Randy's glazed and yeast-raised is always fluffy一 just the way I like it. Their Costa Mesa location has a 25 foot doughnut on the roof to pay homage to the original Inglewood shop. They also have a drive-through. Choose from a large variety of classic choices, deluxe doughnuts, fancy fritters, and premium pastries. The menu is pretty consistent over the years, but I saw they offer matcha drinks and boba now. Chocolate Raised and Maple Raised are also two simple and sweet options you can't go wrong with. The dough is kind of bready, but not dense at all. Butter Crumb Raised is heavenly but messy to eat, fair warning. Pick up a box before you visit the office or stop by for a late-night snack!

    What does it mean when it says "raised" in the description of the donuts?

    There are two types of donuts; raised and cake. Raised donuts are made with yeast and they rise…

    Hands down, the best donuts ever. No contest…read more I've been a customer since this shop opened in 2013 (I believe around this time). My cousin (who briefly worked there) brought my brother and I when we were 13 (me) and 15 (my brother). We got to eat donuts all day. One of my fondest memories with my cousin. Anyways, I've gone many times over the years and always recommend Sidecar to everyone I come across (if donuts come up in conversation). I went yesterday as well and my gosh, the quality has not changed! Sidecar always amazes me and whoever I bring. They live up to the "hype." In my book, they make the best product, period. Their huckleberry donut and choc-o-lot are absolute classics. Their seasonal pumpkin cinnamon roll donut was great as well. Their staff is always friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommend.

I usually prefer yeast doughnuts over cake doughnuts, but these doughnuts were not dry or heavy at all. I ended up ordering the Butter & Salt doughnut and an Americano with brown sugar sweetener and huckleberry cold foam, while my husband ordered a plain cold brew. We waited outside by the pick-up window after ordering. Service was fast for the doughnut and my coffee, but they seemed to forget about my husband's cold brew, so I had to ask about it after a few minutes of waiting. Not a big deal, just was surprised it took so long when it was such an easy order! We both enjoyed the buttery/salty doughnut, and my coffee was delightful! However, my husband said the cold brew was just okay and it was packed with ice to the point you couldn't stick the straw in the lid. Overall, our first experience at this location was good, and we'll definitely be back to try more of Sidecar's delicious doughnuts! Might pass on the cold brew though!

    I'm in love! Never had sourdough donuts, tried them here, and it's my favorite kind of donuts now!…read moreThe dough definitely doesn't taste sour at all, in fact it's super airy and fluffy. The actual donuts came out double times bigger than display too haha Blueberry glazed donut: fruity and not too tart, very balanced. Can never go wrong with this one if it's your first time Passion fruit fool: their seasonal, I love the tropical flavor! The jam and fresh passion fruit is super yummy Banoffe: I was scared the banana nuttiness will be too overpowering, it's actually not. Cream is light and not too concentrated. Ham and cheese: absolutely my favorite. Had a great cheese pull, comes with a mustard sauce that pairs well with the savory flavor. It breaks my traditional view on donuts. There are so many kinds I want to try still, so I will be back. Plenty seats inside and they do get busy and has a line. Signed up for their reward program and marketing so I can catch all their seasonal flavors. I think they refresh every month.

I've tried the peach glaze, passion fruit, sprinkle, lemon, etc. all very good. The service is usually not too great as of lately. I'm not usually greeted and the vibe from the employees is very nonchalant. Almost like you're an inconvenience but not quite, as they aren't rude just aloof maybe. I also have come in once or twice when Worship music was playing, and that's not quite my vibe, but to each their own. It's their business, just thought I'd mention it. Lastly, I almost tried their coffee today until I saw alternative milk was $1.25 extra !! Their base prices for coffee and matcha are a little on the pricier side, I would compare it to a specialty coffee shop for pricing. I know that specialty coffee shops charge that much due to the grade of beans being higher and more expensive, so I'm wondering if they use higher quality beans as well to justify their price? Either $1.25 for oat milk was a total turn off for me, it seems a little greedy. Most places charge $.75-$1. The rewards system is not very rewarding as it is one free donut for every $100 you spend. Not sure I'll be coming back. Maybe occasionally when I'm craving a donut.

From past experience, the best ham & cheese croissants came from good ol' mom-&-pop donut shops and it had been quite a long time since I'd had one. To my surprise and excitement I realized this place is not just a donut shop but a hidden gem for savory breakfast "pastries" and sandwiches as well. Their ham and cheese croissants are quite large pillows-of-buttery heavy (yet delicate if that makes sense) dough soft on the inside, and beautifully crisp on the outside. It has that unmistakable, old-school donut shop magic--warmed gooey melted cheese, savory deli ham in a buttery & flaky croissant that sheds flakes into the bottom of the old school bag, and satisfying enough to carry you for hours. I ate half on the way home and was excited to eat the 2nd half the next morning. My advice...SKIP THE COMMERCIAL CHAINS AND SUPPORT THIS LOCAL SPOT if you desire a nostalgic legendary ham & cheese croissant - Perfection!
