My parents were taking my kiddos and I to the Redmond airport to head back to AZ and they stopped to introduce us to Richard's Donuts. We found the donuts to be amazing. We find ourselves craving them now that we are back in AZ. The custard they put into the donuts is the best ever and super fresh donuts with a ton of variety to choose from. Everyone behind the counter were super friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back for more when we come back into town. read more

Great donuts....especially the apple fritters and blueberry cake donuts. There is a large selection of donuts.

Definitely worth driving for! Richards has some of the best tasting donuts I have found anywhere. I take them to my customers on sales visits and everyone raves about them. read more

Richard's Donuts & Pastries - Mmmmm - Donuts Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Best donut shop in Bend. They're fresh, HUGE, and delicious. Family owned and great customer service. They almost always throw in an extra donut or donut hole without you knowing. read more

The donuts are OK they have a funny taste to them could just be the recipe that they're using definitely not the best donut shop in town service wise female working on 4/29 is extremely rude and not friendly if I ask a question don't Roll your eyes at me then here you talking about how stupid my question was and the building needs some decor or a remodel something it looks run down the only good thing about coming here is the displays where fully stocked but then that made me think how busy can they be if it's 1:00 maybe they should except card as well read more

Bring Cash! Best doughnuts ever. The blue berry is to die for. The cinnamon sugar doughnut also had me drooling.

Great donut shop. They are open early and have a huge variety of donuts and pastries at a good price. Would give them 5 stars except, they only accept cash. I would love to see them get a card reader system. read more

Whenever my boss travels up to Bend to visit family she always brings me back donuts from here and they are amazing. Two to three days later and they are still delicious (she brings me many donuts, and I am only but one person). And to the people complaining about them not taking credit/debit: lots of mom and pop shops don't take card. Grow up, it's not the end of the world. Credit card processing fees are no joke (especially at a business, like this, that would process lots of very small transactions). It's a shame if you would let something as unimportant as a lack of credit/debit stop you from enjoying some delicious donuts. read more

Honestly, these were the best donuts we've EVER had!! Ours were really moist, freshly baked and still warm!!

I am in love with pink donuts. In particular, cake donuts with cherry icing. So I was more than thrilled to find Richard's Donuts and Pastries less than a mile from my new home in Bend. The first time that I went to Richard's was on a Wednesday morning, around 7 am. The place was empty, but the huge display case was filled with fantastic looking donuts. I immediately spied my beloved cherry cake donut and thought I'd died and gone to heaven. However, then I noticed the note hanging by the cash register: "Cash Only". Ugh! I rarely carry cash. So, with my 20 month old son on my hip I hopped back into the car and hit the nearest ATM. And boy am I glad that I did! The donuts were fresh, perfectly sweet and melted in my mouth. My son, husband and I scarfed a whole dozen of various donuts (old-fashioned, chocolate, long johns, boston cream, fritters...) by the next morning. The last time that I went to Richard's was on a Saturday morning around 9 am. The place was packed! Groups of family and friends sat at all of the tables and there were at least 10 people in line ahead of me. To my sadness, many of the donuts that I loved were not in the display case, in particular my husband's favorite, the old fashioned with chocolate icing. It looks like you've gotta get there pretty early on a Saturday morning to get your pick. But that's ok--it's worth getting up early on a Saturday for those delicious donuts. Also, their prices are a bit high, as they charge per donut instead of a flat price for a dozen. The last dozen I bought was over $12. However, they do give a $1 discount for a dozen, so I wound up paying a little over $11. A little pricey for donuts? Yeah. But oh-so good! read more

The girl pulling donuts was so rude. There was no one else waiting behind me and she was clearly annoyed that I took any time to decide what I would like. After my first item she said "what else?" in a nasty tone. Terrible customer service. The person working the register was nice and check out was quick. Donuts were standard and decent fluffiness, etc. but would not go back due to the nasty service. Visit was on 8/29/20 about 11:45am. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I compare all donut shops to my hometown donut shop, which I feel makes the best donuts anywhere. Were craving donuts as we hit the road going home from our vacation. Based on the reviews, we decided to stop by Richard's. I don't think I've ever been a bigger, cleaner donut shop. They had huge counters and a lot of different types of donuts. The young man behind the counter was unbelievably friendly and helpful. He nicely insisted that I buy at least one raised glaze with chocolate because they were still warm. So, I bought 2. We bought typical cake donuts, raised glazed and their recommended apple fritter. The raised glazed was indeed very warm and VERY delicious. Really enjoyed it. We all agreed that the cake donuts, though very tasty and fresh, were a little heavy. All 5 of us tried the apple fritter and were split in half in our opinions. I am not an apple fritter fan, but thought the fritter was very, very good. My dad, who LOVES apple fritters said he thought it was "okay." A little too greasy for his liking. But, we all agreed that Richard's was one of the better donut shops we have tried outside of our hometown place. We'd go back when in Bend and craving donuts. read more

The blonde had a hankering for some really good old-fashioned doughnuts. Especially buttermilk ones, that she really likes. So I made a run this morning to this place and picked up some buttermilk, apple fritters , chocolate donuts and some blueberry ones. Let me just say they were outstanding and I would highly recommend this shop over all others and Bend which I have visited... For those of you that don't understand what a cash based businesses, then maybe you shouldn't visit places that take cash only and then give them one star complaining that they don't take credit cards without even trying their products. So be advised folks yes this is cash-only business but if you can't carry ten bucks around in your pocket for a dozen donuts then there's something wrong. read more

I have been here several times and the donuts are consistently good. I am particularly impressed with how clean the place is and the nice people. Getting back to the donuts...I do not particularly like apple fritters...but...I had a warm one here and it was *fantastic*! As for chocolate glazed, the frosting is sweet, but doesn't taste like chocolate, so save the calories for the fritter. read more

I've been searching to find the best donuts in bend, and I think I hit the jackpot! I base my judgment on whether the donut has good texture (is not doughy or soggy from the fryer, or overdone and dry), has good flavor (do I taste the yummy bready goodness with a sweet glaze and/or filling, or do I taste old fryer oil), and appearance! This hit allllll my marks. I am very picky when it comes to custard filled donuts. Most of the time the custard has a horrible aftertaste and tastes fake. Not the case here! Their custard was the perfect consistency and perfect flavor, no off aftertaste here! Their maple glaze is delightful, and I love their twist bars, but I think I may have to get a custard filled donut from here on. New favorite! Thank you, Richards! Keep up the good work! read more

This family has the best donuts in town... hands down! Taste, customer service and price! Different friends have bought donuts from most other places in town and they're nowhere near as yummy. We've been going here for our entire time in Bend, 18 yrs, and will gladly continue to do so! read more

Fresh and delicious donuts! The cake donut ones are too pretty to eat. :) Wonderful and kind staff. This is our 2nd trip to Bend and we made sure to stop there again. A hit with our son, the donut connoisseur! :) read more

We are staying in Sunriver and needed to find some great donuts. Driving here is totally worth it! The donuts are delicious, soft and huge! The presentation of the donuts is awesome and we will be back every time we are in Sunriver. read more

Incredible pastries & donuts Richard's is the best. Don't miss this place while visiting Bend. A really great selection and just really good sweets! Friendly, warm staff. Can't wait to go back. read more

Seriously...some of the BEST donuts I have ever had. Deserving of the 5 stars. Sure, you could drive 4 hours for a Voodoo Donut, then wait another hour in line, but you'll be thinking about the 4 hour drive back for one of Richard's. Just moved to Bend and went looking for a donut shop nearby. Richard's is about 1/4 mile from my place, so I figured it would just be a "local" one, not setting any expectations. I got a cinnamon roll that was absolutely perfect...for a donut. Not greasy, very flaky...just the right flavoring. Same with the tiger tail twist. All of the cake donuts we got were excellent as well. I had a piece of cherry frosted cake donut with sprinkles as a dessert at night and it was fantastic...really...fantastic. I snuck another piece too. I was very surprised at how well this place came across as my expectations weren't high. Small store in a small town... But these are really some of the best donuts we have ever had, and I highly recommend them. -- Updated to add... I have visited hundreds of donut and pastry shops in my life. The ones that stick out have high-quality product and friendly staff. Richard's qualifies as a hometown favorite that beats out many of my long-standing ones. read more

Moms got herself an older Mercedes SUV because she had that "treat yo'self" mentality she so deserved. Adamant that her tires were low she stopped by the dealership to have them take a look. I waited in the car while she walked like a boss into the waiting area and grabbed me two pieces of donuts. They were Richard's apple fritters. Now, I hate warm fruits in a dessert. I can't stand grilled fruits. I detest most sweet pies because of that fruit factor (though I AM a fan of pie crust. I've been known to make an entire blueberry pie and then pick out all the blueberries just so the warm buttery fluffy crust was left and then a la mode that shit). But these.... was AWESOME. Maybe it's because I haven't had a decent donut in a while. Maybe it's because all I've heard were good things about Richard's Donuts. Maybe it's because I'm getting settling into my new found sweet tooth pants (I'm usually a savory person). WHATEVER. They are crunchy on the outside, moist on the inside, sweet yet not too sweet. I swallowed the donuts in less than 3 bites. The next day, I trooped through the rain to get another apple fritter, and then one more for the next day. Yum. I also ordered the maple donut with cream/ pudding inside. That was also delicious but nothing like the fritters. A little pricey for donuts, nice service, great donuts. 3 stars for the fritters alone. read more

These are quite possibly the best doughnuts I've ever had...perfectly crispy edges, just the right amount of frosting/glaze, and a taste that clearly tells you they refresh their oil very regularly. Mmmmm!!! read more

Great donuts but SO insanely inconvenient that they don't take cards, just cash. It's 2018.

The apple fritters looked like peanut brittle Saturday morning, 6:30 am & they must have been left over from last year as they were cold & flat So sad read more

Stopped here while vacationing in Sunriver and had excellent service and we both loved the donuts! We tried the donut holes, cake with coconut topping, maple bar, and buttermilk bar dipped in maple. Not greasy, no weird oily aftertaste, and fresh. We'll be back! read more

We came from a late lunch and was craving donuts . When we approach the doors they were locked not realizing they had already closed. We had seen someone already mopping the floors. As soon as we headed back to our car the door opened. From there, we had met the most friendliest family in all of Oregon. We're so glad they opened the doors for us and even gave us an extra bag of Tiger tails. The donuts were delicious and soft even at the end of the day and the kids loved them. read more

I couldn't get enough of these great donuts while visiting in the Bend area. The people are friendly and the donuts melt in your mouth! I will definitely spread the word. Richards ha delicious donuts. read more

First off, the donuts appear to taste really good. I would let you know how they tasted, save for the fact that I could not purchase them. This establishment does not accept debit or credit cards and that is all that I had on my person, on account of it being the year 2017 A.D. I did not explore whether or not they will give you their donuts in exchange for a trade of furs, pelts, buttons, spices, handshake agreement IOUs, etc., but my suspicion is that they only take cash. I'm not sure if they don't accept cards as some principled stand against credit card companies, nor do I care what their crusade is--I just wanted some donuts, and got them down the road at Sweethearts. read more

Went there with my kids and when we were ready to pay they don't accept credit cards. It's 2017 people.

I have been a customer of Richards for about 17 years, the owner is awesome and still remembers my order every time. The only place I buy doughnuts :) super soft delicious treats. read more

Hands down the best donuts you will find in Bend. They deliver a classic array of donuts without the trendy fluff. They only take cash or check though so I gave it four stars for being a little behind the times. read more

Very yummy doughnuts! Good coffee too. I like the cinnamon twists. My husband likes the blueberry cake and sprinkle

Best doughnuts I have ever had. I know there are a ton of doughnut shops around Bend now but this one will always be my favorite. Just simple doughnuts nothing extreme, it's what I love! read more

Best donuts - perhaps that I have ever eaten. Owners are so nice, and remember you by name. The best donuts period in Bend - I recommend the devils food cake with coconut! And they always throw me some free donut holes. Cannot beat that. read more

Will never try to eat here again...randomly closed all the time. Don't try to make plans to go here, they will disappoint. Try The Dough Nut, they have multiple locations, better food, AND they are open when they say they are! read more

Had a chocolate twist. It was so light and not too sweet! It was delicious!! Honestly the best donut I've had!

Great doughnuts. Fresh and tasty. Good coffee and you can get a refill while you're here. Beware, cash only!

Best. Donuts. Richards are the best donuts in a clean & friendly atmosphere. Located on 3rd Street in a funky strip building. Worth the traffic & 'field trip'! read more

Sorry to go against all the good reviews but you can get better doughnuts at a grocery store, unfortunately. The staff here is very friendly though and my kids aren't picky with their doughnuts so I still bring them here, but I don't get anything for myself because I've never enjoyed any of the pastries. Yes doughnuts are usually sweet, but their's are WAY too sweet! read more

In town for a wedding, asked our hotel for donut recommendations...they said that Richards was the best in town. They were right, yum! We chose a few donuts each, and when we got up to pay at the cash register she threw in a huge pile of donut holes and a few maple bars for free! All the employees were very nice, the restaurant was clean, prices were good, and the donuts were fresh and delicious. The maple bars were so good. But our favorite was the lemon filled, and the cinnamon roll with maple on top. We will definitely eat here again next time we are in Bend! read more
