Pulled into Randy's just trying to grab one donut and get out. Spoiler alert: I left with a full box, zero dignity, and frosting on my steering wheel. These donuts are disrespectfully good. Like, audacity-level good. Fluffy. Warm. Seductive. I swear the glaze made eye contact with me. Randy, whoever you are I hope you're happy. I was doing fine. I meal-prepped. I had goals. Now I'm sitting in my car with jelly on my shirt, questioning everything. And I'm not even mad. You win. The staff? Too nice. The donuts? Too powerful. The self-control? Nonexistent. Catch me pulling up again like I didn't just spiral 24 hours ago.

It was my first time here, but it was my sister's second time. She raved about this place and said, "Let's go on the weekend to buy some," so we did. The inside of the place was super clean, and we were greeted by an employee. They had a great selection of donuts. My favorites are the cake donuts, so I made sure to pick one of each. I was also surprised that they had a matcha flavor! The donuts are not greasy and not overwhelmingly sweet. They are just right. I look forward to our next visit!

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 to pick up a few more donuts.

Blueberry Iced Cake, Lemon Old Fashioned, Fruity Pebble Chocolate, S'mores

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!

Butter Crumb Raised

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.

One job.

Gave this location another try. Friendly staffs. Came on a Sunday morning, the young gentleman was very welcoming. We grabbed a dozen of assorted donuts. Great was to start Football Sunday!

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.

Very disappointing. All the donuts taste like rancid oil. I'm guessing they never clean out their fryer ever.

Shoutout to Gary and the Duck Donuts team!…read more I usually order Duck Donuts for team meetings on EZ Cater, maybe 3 dozen max at a time with 1-2 coffee buckets. I recently had a very large order and did 45 dozen (540 pieces!!) directly with the store. Gary was very quick to respond and helpful with the flavor reccs/modifications. We did: glazed, french toast, chocolate with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate covered strawberry, strawberry w rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla chocolate swirl. Day of, Gary was on time with the delivery (even with my last minute time change due to another delivery). Everything was accurate, fresh and carefully packaged. Duck donuts was such a hit! My favorite flavor is the French toast. Highly recommend!!

Stopped here to grab some ice cream from chocolate shoppe ice cream and while the ice cream tasted…read moregreat the experience was pretty horrible. When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

I've known this spot has been around for a long time, and I noticed it's been receiving more and…read moremore attention. It's summer, so it's the perfect time to finally check this spot out. Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza with a small parking lot so finding an open spot will be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: This is a quick grab-n-go location. No indoor seating. They have four outdoor tables. The donuts are displayed and labeled. Love the decor and vibes. Service: I was greeted immediately every time I entered. Everyone is courteous, quick, & efficient. Doughnuts & coffee: The donuts are surprisingly not overly sweet. Presentation is absolutely eye catching. Their flavors sound intimidating yet interestingly delicious, and it tastes even better. Their flavors sound drinks are a hit or miss. So far, I've only tried their mochas and lattes. Their drinks are sweet. If you prefer sweet drinks, then these are for you. Their cold foams could use some work bc it disappears after 20 min and lack some flavor. - S'mores Mocha (seasonal) - Brown Sugar Latte (seasonal) - Vanilla Latte (staple) - Donuts: Mango Sticky Rice, Potato Chip Streusel, Butter & Salt, Saigon Cinnamon Crumb Pricing: They're constantly offering seasonal donuts and drinks. Highly recommend downloading their rewards app. You'll get a welcome reward and many coupons.

Hands down one of the best donut shops around! I stopped by on the 4th of July and tried their…read moresummer specials--the Passion Fruit Pavlova donut and the S'mores Iced Mocha--and both were absolutely delicious. The staff is always warm and friendly, the donuts are incredibly fresh, soft, and full of flavor, and the coffee never disappoints. They also typically carry a Vegan and gluten friendly donut option. Whenever I'm in the OC, I have to stop by for a donut... or two... or three. Definitely a place that's worth the visit every time!

When I told my husband I wanted to try this "Vegan" doughnut place in Costa Mesa, he scowled and…read moresaid he didn't want any "Vegan" doughnuts. But he humored me and we headed to the Lab to try out these Instagram worthy vegan doughnuts. We got the Minibox which is a great value at around $12 for a sampler of six mini doughnuts, and we also got 2 Regular sized Glazed doughnuts, a White Chocolate Sprinkle doughnut, and a Cinnamon Roll. Every single doughnut was pure bliss in every bite. Even my husband who HATES anything vegan devoured two of the full sized doughnuts and ate half of each of the mini doughnuts. He said they tasted better than most other doughnuts he has ever had and would never have known these were vegan if I had not told him. I, also, am not a vegan and tend to avoid anything labeled vegan, but I also loved every single bite of these doughnuts and will definitely be back for more. Here are my favorites: Glazed Doughnut: Perfectly soft and slightly chewy texture. Not too sweet. 5/5 Cinnamon Roll: Perfectly soft yet chewy texture. Great cinnamon flavor. Not too sweet. 5/5 Lemon Poppy Seed mini: Real Lemon flavor, not too sweet and not too tart. Perfect texture. 5/5 Triple Berry mini and Pistachio Berry mini: Both tasted like real fruit jam. First bite was not too sweet but second bite was a bit too sweet for me. The mini size is perfect as I think any more than two bites of each would have been sweet for me. Chocolate: Not too sweet, not too rich, not too much of anything. Very good. 5/5 Matcha: I can't really remember this one probably because I'm not a fan of all things matcha. It wasn't bad because I loved everything I tasted, but not really memorable like the others. Will definitely get the cinnamon roll and Minibox sampler again next time... and the Glazed... and I want to try some of their other doughnuts too.

Deliciously fluffy and light donuts that you wouldn't expect from a plant-based recipe. I regularly…read morestop by to grab a lemon poppyseed or raspberry donut and the sweetness is just right. I sometimes buy the mini box of 6 donuts when I want more of a variety. Service is always fast and friendly, and you can eat them outside in the open communal seating. I'd personally stick to just the donuts over their drinks.
