    Got a dozen donuts for our staff at work yesterday and they were almost sold out by 9am! I tried the blueberry donut and it was amazing, perfect with my coffee. The lady at the counter was also really nice and sweet.

    Ham and cheese croissant with jalapeños
    Katelynn R.

    Ham and cheese croissant was absolutely delicious! They asked if I wanted jalapeños and I said hell yes! The pickled spiciness made it even better. The croissant is huge and under $5.

    Blueberry, chocolate with chocolate chips, sprinkle, glazed, chocolate bar, maple bar.

    The service was amazing, they were very kind! $10 for a 1/2 dozen and pretty tasty donuts too. They were so nice they gave us an extra donut. Would recommend for a fast breakfast! They have other options too like coffee, bagels, pastries and more. Very good spot.

    Pretty solid donuts! Looked on yelp to find donuts nearby to bring into work and came across this place because Krispy Kreme doesn't have maple bars and some of my coworkers wanted these. This place is a little hole in the wall shop and if you're from the OC area, I would say this is close to Seaside in Newport. The donuts are good and reasonably priced and they have a pretty good jalepeno ham and cheese croissant. My only complaint with this though is I wish they would spread the jalepenos out. I've gotten it a few times now and they seem to put all of the jalepenos only in one spot. Anyhow, it's definitely a great place to check out if you need a quick donut fix!

    I came across this place on my way to work one morning in search of a breakfast bagel sandwich, and I was NOT disappointed. I got the sausage, egg & cheese on a cheddar bagel -- AMAZING. I got an iced coffee too while I was there & it was amazing! Not to mention the service is also very personable and quick. I have been recommending this place to all my coworkers and friends now.

    i've always lived super close to ball donut but for some reason never went there until yesterday. it's your typical hole in the wall family donut shop that's owned by a husband and wife (sophie and ricky). the place itself is decorated how you would expect a regular old donut shop to be decorated, with fridges of drinks to the left and a counter with utensils, sugar, and creamer on the right. when you walk in you're immediately greeted by a display case of donuts, ranging from raised donuts, cake donuts, cronuts, croissants, and more. behind the case is tv screens of the cost of everything and additional items they sell, including bagel sandwiches and drinks. i looked through their display case trying to decide which donut to get and was originally going to get a blueberry crumb cake donut (which i've never seen any other donut place have before! usually it's just blueberry or just crumb haha) but i opted against it because i recently had my wisdom teeth removed and wanted something softer so i went with my fail-safe donut: a chocolate raised donut. i also got my dad a ham and cheese croissant. the two items costed me $6.25 ($4.00 for the croissant and $2.25 for the donut) which i felt was a little higher than how much it would cost me at another hole in the wall donut shop (not talking about those specialty donut places like friendlys) but i guess with these trying times and rising costs, the pastries were bound to cost more too. $4.00 seemed high for an ordinary ham and cheese croissant but after receiving it, THAT THING IS MASSIVE so i think it's worth the price. my dad said it was good but a bit too much cheese for his liking. really good if you throw it in the airfryer at home before eating! i, on the other hand, really enjoyed their chocolate raised donut. the donut itself is a bit pale in color, but it was SUPPERR soft and pillow! just how i love my raised donuts. i also liked that they didn't glaze the donut before putting chocolate on top. i love a good plain raised donut with a chocolate top -- it was the perfect sweetness and amazingly soft so i had no problems eating it. i returned the next day on my morning walk before work because it's the only place within walking distance that's open and i wanted to get my boyfriend a plain glazed donut (his favorite). he loved it and said it was super soft and perfectly glazed. i also decided to try their sausage ham & cheese sandwich on an everything bagel and it was okay. not my favorite bagel sandwich ever -- the sausage was just warmed up in the microwave and the ham was just regular deli ham that they sell at costco i'm pretty sure. the bagel was also a bit dense and not the softest. i also was not a big fan of the price -- it was $7 for that thing! it's good to eat if you're there already and craving a bagel sandwich but i would not pay that much for an okay bagel sandwich again. for that price i would rather just go to boil + bake in costa mesa for a really good specialty bagel sandwich. overall a very good donut place to stop by if you're in the area. i personally would just stick to buying their donuts and maybe their croissants if i'm in the mood for them. the owners are really nice and friendly but more so with their regulars. they greeted me and provided me with good service but i definitely did not get the same friendly smiley vibe as others did so i would've appreciated being treated as if i were a friend too, even though i don't frequent the place. also something to note is that you have to spend $5 to pay with a credit card!

    I am happy I finally got to visit this place and try their infamous blueberry donuts. I heard about…read morethis place from coworkers and TikTok but every time I drove past there's ALWAYS a long line and didn't want to wait that long. It's a small mom and pop donut shop with a drive-thru, it's a bit dark and inconspicuous, especially at 4 am when I went. I ordered 3 of their blueberry donuts with a Vietnamese ice coffee. The donuts were fresh and warm with a nice blueberry flavor, extremely delicious. So they definitely live up to the hype! The donut itself weren't overly cakey and had a nice crunch to them due to the glaze that's over them but still very soft on the inside. However, the Vietnamese iced coffee was just okay as the coffee flavor wasn't strong enough and it tasted like a regular iced coffee with cream. Also, I wished the ice was crushed instead of cubed. You're off getting better Vietnamese iced coffee from 7 leaves or any other place. Maybe I had a bad batch so try it you may like it. Regardless, I won't be coming here for the iced coffee just the donuts. The gentleman taking my order was very nice and so sweet. He was quite welcoming and so happy, we had up a very small conversation. I think he may have been the only one working that morning so it took a little longer than expected like 7-10 minutes but I am not complaining as the donuts I believe are made to order and I was also the only one in the drive-thru line so I didn't feel too bad. I will definitely be back! I would like try more of their donuts and maybe a different drink.

It's on the bottom floor of the packing house, kinda hidden. Not many people, but it's still really good. The butter crumble is the best and their top seller. This place and sidecar are the best donuts in Orange County.

    I'd always heard about Randy's Donuts, so while I was at the Anaheim Packing House for dinner, I…read morefinally decided to see what all the hype was about. I picked up a small assortment so I could get a good feel for what they offer. Before I even got to the donuts, I have to ask: why does the box have four holes in it? I understand it's probably meant to resemble donut holes, but it seems like an odd design choice. For donuts that aren't exactly cheap, I'd rather have a box that keeps them fresh than one with decorative cutouts. Now for the donuts: Chocolate Raised: The donut itself was surprisingly light, airy, and soft with a nice chew. The texture was exactly what I want from a raised donut. The problem was the chocolate icing. The first bite tasted good, but after a few seconds it left an almost burnt, slightly bitter aftertaste that became more noticeable with every bite. It completely overshadowed what was otherwise a really nice donut. Glazed: This was easily my favorite of the bunch. A good glazed donut is the benchmark for any donut shop, and Randy's did a respectable job. The glaze had a pleasant sweetness without being overwhelming, and the dough was soft and fresh. For some reason, though, it felt a little denser and heavier than the chocolate raised, even though the flavor was much better. Maple: The maple flavor itself was enjoyable and had a nice, rich sweetness without tasting artificial. The icing was noticeably thicker than I expected, almost like a layer of frosting instead of a thin glaze. While it tasted good, that extra thickness made the donut feel heavier and richer than I usually prefer. Blueberry Cake: This one just wasn't for me. The cake texture felt dense and dry compared to the raised donuts, and the blueberry flavor didn't really come through. Instead, it had an artificial sweetness that left me wanting to move on after just a couple of bites. Cronut: It's essentially a glazed croissant, and that's exactly what it tasted like. The outside had a nice crispness, the inside was flaky and buttery, and the glaze added just enough sweetness. It was enjoyable, but it also wasn't anything that really stood out or made me think, "I need to order this again." Overall, I'm glad I finally gave Randy's Donuts a try because it's such a well-known name, but I don't think it's a place I'll be returning to. The glazed donut was the standout, the dough on the raised donuts was genuinely good, but the flavors and overall experience just didn't live up to the reputation for me.

My personal review: *Raised crumb- 2/5 it wasn't really crumb, more like sugar. *Chocolate glazed- 4/5 Chocolate was rich *Chocolate cake donut with sprinkles- 4/5 donut itself was yummy but the sprinkles were a bit too crunchy *plain glazed-5/5 probably my favorite.
