Texas glazed
Tanichea B.

I remember seeing this place when I was in California and was disappointed that I ran out of time to visit. I have since visited the NYC location and I'm happy I did. It's a small little shop but the donuts are top notch. I ordered a glazed twist, a glazed buttermilk and a Texas glazed, which is a huge glazed donut (I'd say about 2 and 1/2 donuts worth of donut). My son destroyed that one and didn't share, lol. The second time, I got 3 Texas glazed. That dough was so nice and chewy, you just wanted to keep eating it. Definitely what I remember of the donuts that I did try in California. Sadly, they don't have the churro donut in the NYC location. Service has been consistently good. Will be back for more donuts.

As I was in the neighborhood after some run training today I found Randy's Donuts and brought home 4 different types as a treat. The donuts were good but at $4 - $5 each are a bit overpriced. Sorry West Coast LA brand but Peter Pan Donuts in Brooklyn has better donuts at half the price in my opinion. Still, I have to admit the blueberry, cinnamon crumb cake, and chocolate twist donuts were tasty. The chocolate old fashioned seemed too dry inside. The shop looked clean and the staff was nice. More like 3.5 stars overall rating.

Devil's Food Cake
Alli E.

I had higher expectations for a CA-based company, but the devil's food cake donut didn't taste fresh to me. Overall, the donut was still "good", but the texture was a little dry/stale to me. I prefer other donut shops in the city for cake donuts. Service was quick and the staff were very friendly!

I was excited to see the bright orange Randy's Doughnuts sign while I was walking through the village. I couldn't help but walk in and pick up a couple doughnuts. We went for the maple, blueberry glazed, and apple fritter. For buying them at 7pm and eating them at midnight, they surprisingly held up really well. Both the blueberry and maple tasted great. The fritter is very heavily spiced - if you love cinnamon you will enjoy it. Cool to see this LA business pop up in NYC!

Well priced, classic donuts in NYC brought to you by Inglewood's finest. No where to sit inside but conveniently located by Washington Park.

I liked the Randy's in LA, but the donuts at this location were disappointing. We got the glazed old fashion, buttermilk bar, and apple fritter. They were all on the dry side, but I would say the glazed old fashion was the best of the three. Service was fine, the worker was nice.

There is no way you walk into this donut shop without wanting to try at least 5 or more items in the case. The donuts look so fresh and smell delectable! I tried the Chocolate raised and a Glazed raised. They were so airy and soft. Perfect donut consistency! The employee who helped me was nice and greeted me as soon as I walked in. Will return to grab a dozen.

Oh hey Randy, welcome to the neighborhood, good to meet you. I've been to Cali a couple of times but have not had the chance to try your famous donuts, so of course I was super excited to hear you'd moved into the city. I stopped by your new shop recently, not long after your opened and was greeted by a full case of gorgeous fluffy donuts. The staff behind the counter was super sweet and patient as I scanned over each and every one before making my selections: Pink frosted with sprinkles (yeast/raised) Maple frosted (yeast/raised) Vanilla with sprinkles (cake) Happy to report that each donut I had was more delicious that the last. Ohmygosh the raised/yeast variety -- SO FLUFFY. If someone is looking for a full size, properly raised, fluffy yet dense donut -- Randy's is where its at. My only minor disappointment in the pink frosted is that it was not strawberry flavored (and I definitely appreciate the staffer telling me that before he placed it in the bag). But the maple frosted it was oh so maplely and so so good. I like that y'all layer that frosting on thick. Its not cake-like-frosting but glazy frosting and proportionally it's right on for the size of the donut. Bravo! The cake donut was also fantastic. I didn't get a chance to eat it for a couple days and when I opened the bag it was still soft, love it. The prices are on par with the other donut shops in the city. Overall no complaints. 10/10. I'll see you again soon. :-)

Randy's Donuts are in Manhattan! I've always heard great things about Randy's especially from the west coast. Of course, Randy's Donuts has appeared in a few notables Hollywood productions, Iron Man and Simpsons to name a few. I was excited to try and hoping the lines would be manageable on a cold weekend morning. Randy's Donuts has a great selection of both yeast-raised donuts and cake donuts. I got a box of 12 for a recent gathering including classics like glazed sprinkled rings, along with some cake varieties: chocolate old-fashioned, devils food cake, and blueberry. There were deluxe varieties like maple glazed long John's. I also got some holes, which are mini rounds for the lesser appetites. I enjoyed a few bites of several varieties and was in donut heaven. Overall, I'd say the donuts were pretty good. The lines were also light on a cold Saturday morning. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. I even got a few Randy's stickers for the grand opening.

When I heard they were opening Randy's Donuts in NY, I was sooo happy! Being from LA, I grew up on the original Inglewood Randy's, so this was such a nostalgic moment for me. Of course nothing compares to LA Randy's (it just hits different ), but I have to say the donuts were GOOD!I tried the big glazed one and wow... it was so soft, fresh, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Exactly what I was craving. The service was also super kind and sweet, which made the experience even better. I did go pretty late at night, so a lot of flavors were sold out (totally understandable!), but I still got to try a few and they did not disappoint. I'll definitely be back earlier next time to grab more donuts and relive my LA memories

Had a chance to finally try Randy's on the east coast. Crondys aren't here yet but I was assured they would make their way over eventually. That didn't stop me from enjoying other variations. I went for the old fashion (plain) and cherry icing cake donuts. Both were very fresh and satisfying. I'll definitely be back to try others. Go check them out if you haven't yet. Totally worth it!

I was walking through the neighborhood and I came across Randy's Donuts. I was surprised to learn there was a location in NYC. I went inside and I ordered 2 donuts and 2 donut holes. I got the glazed donut holes, one maple glazed donut and the cinnamon crumb cake donut. They were so soft and delicious. The service was quick and great. I will definitely be visiting again soon to try other options on the menu.

The one & only California famous is here & it's central & fantastic! I wandered by before they opened and I was welcomed with samples. The classic chocolate is super fresh & unfamcy & perfect. There's so many great flavors here and I can't wait to come back. There's Randy's Roast if you want a cuppa with your delicious donuts. Donut perfection. Welcome to NYC.

He even wanted to get some for breakfast next day, but they were closing at 9 pm which is more than fine. We decided to come here early for breakfast (they open at 7 am) before going to see the sights that day! Great decision! Got a bit concerned when we got there around 8,30 am to see a lock on the door (it was open) and no one inside. But somebody working there showed up to my husband's relief who was getting very concerned. Wonderful selection! We settled on box of 4 to get a deal (the prices area tad higher, but so is the quality) - so tried the coconut creme one (fantastic), the original creme brulee (small, but tasty and full of flavor and personality), tres leches (smaller side, but great glaze) and the star - vanilla bean and blackberry jam that was so nice and fresh! A nice sample, four fantastic representatives, some are their original ones! They have fun seating inside - furniture, decor, tiles - all have doughnut shape or motif and a few tables outside - which we chose for a nice day. We also got 2 cappuccino-s which were just right, nice, foamy, strong. Nice service, beautiful fancy doughnuts! We fell in love with Doughnut Plant, since it's a local NY chain, do yourself a favor and check one of their locations while in the area! No regrets!

If you want something a little more unique than Dunkin' or Krispy Kreme, this is the spot. The only thing holding me back from giving it 5 stars is the price. A couple donuts and suddenly you're spending way more than you planned. That said, the donuts are massive. You can easily split one with someone or save half for later. They also do some pretty fun seasonal flavors, especially around the holidays, so there's usually something new to try whenever you stop by.

I walked in and realized one of their donuts was going to at least spread out for over 2 days for me. The flavors looked so delicious. I decided to go for 'Toasted Coconut'. Amazing nutmeg-y finish and I have to say I love the yeastiness of the donut - did not feel like straight up sugar, but felt like a complex cake/bread - the sourness did come through. The donut has body and texture. My donut world has changed from now on. If I encounter donut people, I will definitely recommend this place. And maybe next year try one of their other amazing flavors. It did cost me $6.80 but I'm telling you these are gigantic - one for 2 people I'd say. The place is simple, cute and clean - standard NYC modern shop. So not much to report here.

We stopped at Dough in Flatiron for doughnuts because we heard that they were really good. We got…read morethe plain glaze, passion fruit and blueberry lemon crumble, and were sorely disappointed. The donuts were extremely dense and tasted like a loaf of bread. I think if that's how you like your donuts, you will like it here. But if you are looking for light, fluffy donuts, keep looking. At $7 per donut (with tax), it was definitely overpriced and not worth it. We did not finish the donuts. Service was friendly and the place was clean but we will definitely not be returning.

Really great Donut Shop in Greenpoint Brooklyn, with the Old Skool Polish Neighborhood Vibes…read more The Donuts here are FANTASTIC - huge selection, super sweet & highly caloric but if you're gonna go for it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot! There's usually a line to buy donuts but they have tons of women working behind the counter in their retro smocks, filling orders & slinging pastries. Cash Only! No credit cards or mobile payments accepted. They do have an ATM onsite if you don't have cash on you (not that rare these days - I've been caught lacking here from time to time...). Perhaps the greatest quote ever to sum this place comes from the inimitable Tina Fey who discovered the treats here years ago & had this say @ Peter Pan: "The best doughnut? That's Peter Pan doughnuts in Brooklyn... It's a white-cream-filled powdered doughnut. And I really believe, when I first tried it, if I had a penis, I would put it in this doughnut. I finally understand what you guys are thinking about and what motivates you guys." She's not wrong...

Sometimes he's the only one working while another customer is being helped, but he still manages to get the job done, be helpful, and make sure customers have a great experience. He's personable, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. It's not every day you come across someone who can make you laugh while providing excellent customer service!

I also saw the same employee being aggressive with other staff and snapping at the DoorDash guy. The rest of the team looked visibly on edge. No level of stress excuses talking to people like that. In 2026, I can't believe this still happens, and it was heartbreaking to watch. Whoever runs this place needs to know how their staff is representing the business. I came for donuts.
