I thought I'd try the newly opened Randy's Donuts in Riverside. First of all, there were no flies on the morning that I visited. Other reviewers had mentioned that problem. I'll comment on two donuts. The Pumpkin Spice donut was delicious. The frosting was creamy like it had been made with cream cheese. The cake donut was moist and bursting with pumpkin and fall-spice flavors. So good! I also tried a classic glazed twist donut. The dough had a good texture and the glaze had that slight crusty crispy-like texture, but to my disappointment, it tasted like old oil. I actually didn't finish it. I know they are going through some growing pains, so I will try them out at a later date. read more

Friendly staff! But I Guess l'll be driving to LA for Randy's this is not it! Taste like the donuts been soaked in oil! The glaze is not light and airy. Hope they get it together soon! Some glazed where's small some were big, And it was flies everywhere and donuts were not covered! Icing fell off all the cake and maple donuts. I won't be back. I'll continue to drive to the one in Inglewood. read more

Randy's Donuts - Delicious - Donuts Near Me - Riverside, California

Arrived early on opening day , there was a long line as expected, come on Randy's has good reputation so no surprises there . I ordered two dozens of the Fancy style donuts for my colleagues at work and for myself obviously, and now I'm the hero at work !! How about that !! . My favorites coconut donuts and chocolate donuts !! read more

Disclaimer: I've never been to a Randy's before, even though I know of the famous Inglewood one, but I did work in a mom and pop donut shop in Pomona for 2-3 years in my college years. For a long time after I couldn't eat donuts and rarely do now, so all that to say these are great. Not greasy. Super fluffy. The chocolate bar (which is my favorite) was good and I tried the raspberry jelly donut my husband got and it was filled well and fluffy too (I don't usually like jelly donuts). We will likely go there on occasion when we are in the mood for donuts. We went on Thursday, mid morning, no long line. I'm sure it would be different in a morning rush, but that's everywhere. read more

This place has THE BEST donuts anywhere on Van Buren. All these bad reviews must be competitors. Everyone I've referred this place to comes back thanking me. The dough is fresh and moist. The crust is crunchy and packed with flavor. The service is kind and friendly. The prices and offers are equal to all the other donut shops up and down Van Buren. I can't say enough about Randy's Donuts...you'll just have to try them yourself. A repeat customer for sure!! read more

Randy's Donuts - Cinnamon toast crunch. Do-nut go anywhere else. Randy's the spot. - Donuts Near Me - Riverside, California

Not good. We usually go to the location in LA for many years so when we heard they opened here in Riverside it was awesome. Went into the shop today and asked it it was same as LA location the responded yes. Then upsold and suggested away. I told her the donuts look a little different and she assured me they are same Well I bought a dozen which is 26.00 not your average dozen cost. When we got home they are for the most part stale and not like the original Randy's. Actually far from them These are made Chinsy/cheaply. My favorite is the coconut and it was for sure not the same as LA Randy's. No wonder the place was empty. I will not go back. I'm not a fan. Save the money and go to Winchells. They are at least fresher and less expensive. read more

I bought two Maple Bars almost $5, very disappointed of the price and the heaviness of the Maple bars. I believe in supporting new businesses, but however I can't support this one in Riverside. We know about Randy's of L.A., these are not the same quality as the original in L. A. I give this Randy's in Riverside 3 stars. P.S. Rainbow Donuts on Indiana & La Sierra in Riverside has the best donuts. There donuts taste much better read more

Came here with my preteens after a sleepover. First time visiting and it was recommended by one of the girls. We got a dozen and two lattes. It was $31 and then a $2 discount because we got a dozen. First the bars (maple and chocolate no cream) are absolutely disgusting. The bottom of the bar is nothing but oil and it takes away from the entire flavor of the bar. I couldn't finish mine it was too greasy. My 11 yr old doesn't want to return and I probably won't either. My husband liked his glazed raised donut but his second one he thought was too gooey in the center like maybe it wasn't fully cooked. The little ones also didn't eat theirs (pink with sprinkles and chocolate cake with sprinkles). Overall I'm not sure if this is a fluke since it just opened. But it is too over priced for upset stomachs and half eaten donuts. read more

These donuts are literally disgusting. Disgust-ing. The fact that people eat these seriously blows my mind. They are chewy and plastic-like. It was like biting into a piece of squid or a rubber tire. Or a melty crayon, literally like eating wax. SO GROSS. read more

I visited when they first opened! The employees looked eager to help me choose my donuts. The donuts are yummy and big. I would say they are better than Krispy Kreme. The only problem that I had was that there were FLIES EVERYWHERE (even inside the food cases where the donuts were kept). I highly recommend the churro donut! read more

Stopped by today, the donut shop was busy and had an array of donuts. I ordered a ham and cheese croissant, and sadly, the croissant tasted like fabuloso. Four dollars spent to just throw it away. read more

Best donuts I've ever had! They were nice enough to give my girlfriend and I a fresh glazed donut while we were ordering our dozen. Erick took our order and was super patient and had a great attitude. There's no seating inside but I would definitely come back! These donuts are very pricy but believe me when I say that you can definitely taste the quality of these donuts. My total was $33.90 for everything pictures below. read more

The donuts are really over rated and overpriced. The staff are as bland as there donuts. Too expensive for the service and the product itself. Just go to a regular donut place , like Star Donuts. Good price, good service and good donuts. read more

Amazing place! Great croissants! The place was nice and clean! Would return . The Carmel macchiato was amazing !

I paid $90 for three dozen of day old doughnuts for my office and they were a fail. They were not fresh and stale. It's was a shame and now all 30 of my fellow employees may never give Randys a try. They have been better in the past. Maybe it was a bad day. Not to mention the amount of homeless loitering in the front before opening. What a shame read more

This place is great I don't understand the negative reviews. It's a donut shop with a nice selection donuts were fresh they were making them in the back while we were there. Happy to have them in the neighborhood. Can't wait to stop by again. I got the chocolate raised donut and it was less than $2, it was a generous size. read more

I've only had it once and it was really good! It was still fresh and wasn't stale at all. I'll update this once I get some more visits under my belt. read more

Very good donuts. You can tell by the taste if the oil is old. Was not. Maple bars and chocolate bars so good.

Donuts are made terrible in this location. Nothing like the original Randy's out in Glendale. Even worst ham and cheese croissant. Look at the ugly glaze donut they have read more

Yummy donuts!!! Can wait to go back!! We love Randy's Donuts!! We would definitely come back!!

First time trying Randy's donuts. I love donuts! The employee was great...greeted us right away. I chose a dozen of the "Classics" which included glazed raised, chocolate raised, maple raised and cake donuts. The donuts were fairly large and "pretty" if that matters. I hate leaving negative comments but - true - they were "different" than other donuts I've had. They were "bready" and a little tough. The next day they were totally stale, especially the pink sprinkles cake donut. My husband joked he wanted his $21 back. We came, we failed, we won't be back. read more

Amazing doughnuts with a great variety of flavors and toppings. I was happy that it had finally opened so close to where I live. Will return often. read more

First of all.. this is my second time to the Riverside location and should've never returned. Went in ordered 1 dozen assorted and 1 dozen mini assorted.. so $38.15 later we drive to a family party. Everyone excited to see the Randy's boxes asking "oh wow, you guys went to LA" and we were like nope. Donuts came out of the box just as quick as they went in.. but everyone and I mean everyone's disappointment and dissatisfied look said it all. These donuts shouldn't even have "Randy's Donuts" name anywhere on the box. They were literally worse than day old donuts and trust me I've had 3 day old donuts that tasted better! Everything was falling off the top of the donuts, the Froot Loops, Fruity Pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch were completely stale! The icing was literally falling off the donut on the maple long john.. We've been to the LA location and NEVER had any problem. But after reading so many reviews on here about this location I know people are speaking truth. I need someone in charge of that Riverside location to contact me please because it obviously seems like there are no changes being made to rectify this issue. AND yes I have the receipt! read more

I was doing someone a favor by picking up some donuts when a damn dozen came out to $35. Like y'all tripping never in my life have I spent 35 bucks on donuts. That's enough for me to go to Yard House on happy hour for 2 people. If I'm paying that much y'all better put the Randy donut on the roof instead of a stupid inflatable ballon. read more

I stop by 3/4 times a week for a butter crumb latte and whatever donut I'm feeling like. It's always a fast, friendly and positive experience. You'll pay a little bit extra than you're regular donut shop but it's worth the taste and the fact that it's such an iconic place and now it's here in riverside. read more

Good doughnuts , good coffee, service was excellent and would definitely recommend a try

Not sure if it's just this location, but I'm extremely disappointed, this location is a perfect example of just great marketing and bad product, came in around 5pm, one donut was 2$, simple regular taste, overhyped for no reason, and the "specialty" donuts are completely scam hahaha, 3.75$ for a regular donut with half of Oreo on top or 10 m&ms on top for decoration, crazy prices and regular 1$ donuts from any other local shop, paid 21$ for half dozen, the only grey donut spot that has great marketing and good food is yum yum donuts, do better... read more

Randy's Donuts - Maple donut( left) Half of Oreo donut(right) - Donuts Near Me - Riverside, California

Clean with friendly staff. Our first time trying Randy's and nothing was explained. We ordered a dozen not knowing we would be charged for every donut individually. Wow that was an expensive dozen and not 100% worth it. Good but pricey. read more

This Randy's went downhill real quick. The customer service is awful and no matter what time you go in there, they seem to always be out of the popular donuts with no intentions of making more. I'll just make the drive up to Krispy Kreme where you'll get hot fresh donuts and good customer service. read more

I was so excited to try Randy's...Omg what a huge disappointment. We bought a mixed variety and every donut sucked. They were worse then day old donuts. read more

Went in tonight, a Saturday night, around 7 something. The place was consistently busy, which is a good sign, and they had a lot of donuts to choose from. Customer service was just whatever, but the line went quick. We ordered four donuts. One roasted coconut, one chocolate cruller, one raised chocolate, and one chocolate twist. Each one was extremely greasy and tasted like old oil. I kept eating my coconut donut, despite it being so greasy on the outside with an undercooked texture on the inside, because I was hoping it would somehow taste better. Instead it just left the nastiest old oil aftertaste. Didn't even taste like coconut. We took a bite of each of the other donuts and agreed that they all tasted of old oil and were bad so we threw them away. Such a waste. I'm more disappointed in the fact that this is what I chose as a bad for me treat and I was left feeling gross. I was really looking forward to trying Randy's Donuts and I was really looking forward to enjoying them even more. That didn't happen. Sorry, but this place is a hard pass for me. read more

Randy's Donuts - 1 1/2 out of the 4 donuts we bought. The twist tasted of old gross oil too, but was the least bad tasting of all of them. - Donuts Near Me - Riverside, California

I will not be going back. The employees working are super rude and protective of their boxes. Was not greeted, they just looked at me and asked "how many donuts". They had attitude with me and my 6 year old daughter. My daughter got a ham and cheese croissant and it literally looked like she took it out of the microwave, put it in the bag and stepped on it. Not to mention it was still cold. Very disheartening, the type of customer service these days. read more
