I've been in a few times since they opened up near me. It just took a few visits to process/ digest what I truly think of Randy's. I typically go to the same small family owned donut shop and find them to be consistent. But, after trying Randy's various times now they seem to be legit. The dough itself just seems to be a little softer/more fresh(and tastier) than what I'm use to and I've been to my go-to donut shop serval times when they are bringing out a fresh batch and Randy's still wins. I tried the original down to a few speciality donuts and I was very satisfied each time I tried a new donut combination. The line has still been a bit hectic since they are still surrounded by a lot of hype, but they are living up to it pretty well. I want to try the french toast donut but I just cant seem to get up and out the door in time. I'll make that donut mine soon enough. read more

Been a fan of the original for years, always looking for an excuse to detour toward Randy's when remotely in the area. A beautiful new location, less than two miles from home? A donut dream-come-true! Everything about the newest offspring of the Randy's empire is terrific: friendliness, cleanliness, quality and value. A great selection, and everything I've ever tried has been top-notch. I'd love to write more, but a sudden craving for a Randy's Donuts apple fritter has suddenly taken hold... read more

Ordered a blueberry donut thru drive thru received a plain donut with no blueberry glaze!! Service was great but employees should know what they're handing out to customers. read more

I don't go out of my way to eat donuts much but I satisfied my sweet tooth a handful of times here when I was in the area. I think In general this place is 4 stars- I gave it 5 because 1) I like the unique donuts they have 2) I can go back to this place to try the donuts I liked or even try new ones. That's what separates 5 star places and 4 stars for me in that 5 star places are ones I would want to go back to :-) The BUTTERCRUMB RAISED is a popular donut to get here- it is what I think unique to this place and it tastes great. It's got sort of a butterscotch flavor to it (I'm not much of a butterscotch person) but it's great. :-) Out of CLASSIC SELECTIONS- I've tried... CHERRY ICED CAKE- this one is just meh, looks colorful but doesn't have a distinctive cherry taste to it - subtle- also pretty sweet too. Out of DELUXE SELECTIONS... BLUEBERRY ICED CAKE- I generally like blueberry donuts so this one is biased but it seems a bit more sweeter and fragrant than others I tried before. BLUEBERRY CAKE- I prefer the Iced cake version - this one is slightly less blueberry in taste as the one above. LEMON OLD FASHIONED- another bias- I like lemon flavored donuts or cakes so this one has that nice lemon-ness to it. Out of FANCY SELECTIONS- RASPBERRY JELLY FILLED- I think this one was just meh- if you like raspberry jelly filled this one isn't much different BUTTER CRUMB RAISED- review is up above, personally and with some bias the best tasting donut here- it's a unique donut not likely to be found in other donut shops :-) CHOCOLATE CRONDY- if you like "cronuts" (croissant donuts) this one's a winner- it's got a right amount of flaky crunchiness. Out of PREMIUM SELECTIONS... NUTELLA RAISED- If you are a Nutella fan, this donuts for you :-) BACON MAPLE LONG JOHN- This one is ok, maybe mine was a bit older- or I think I would've preferred the bacon to be a bit like shorter strips rather than looking like crumbs, or maybe it seemed a bit greasy- it's worth a first try for experience if you haven't tried it :-) MAPLE RAISED WITH CHURROS This one I remember liking, I forget the what flavor of glaze syrup on top of the churros but I remember that the maple and churros working well all together in flavor :-) RED VELVET WITH GANACHE If you like Red velvet - this one's for you- probably had it twice- I remember it being moist and soft as red velvet cakes should be :-) SMORE'S This one was just so so-it's weird because you're used to a crunch from the graham crackers with melted marshmallows and melted chocolate but this is a softer bread you're biting into- mostly taste the chocolate fudge with non melted marshmallows with a subtle graham cracker flavor from the crumbs- Does it taste like s'more's ? kinda of yes- texture wise? No not much like smore's That's all I tasted so far, this place is not a sit down place although they some seating outside (I think) it's more of a drive thru and or pickup place. The staff there are helpful in giving popular choices for donuts and also their own popular opinions also. I think overall if you wanted to put in the atmosphere or seating and such this place would not be 5 star place but again I gave it 5 stars because it's a place that I can go back and once in a while even go out of my way to go for some uniquely good tasting donuts :-) Great place for those with sweet tooth- bad place for those trying to lose weight :-) read more

Horrible iced coffee... basically it was milk and ice donuts seemed to be okay but the coffee was a huge disappointment especially for the price read more

Big hype for this place. We got 4 donuts and they tasted ok nothing out of this world. 2 of the donuts were kinda hard my nephews said. So would I come back no! The Downey location is horrible! No parking inside or on the small street next to it! It's a dead end so it has some restrictions on the parking. The one thing that pissed me off is they have a square to pay for your order. The first thing is the tip amount! Wtf!! Tip for getting my donuts in a bag and charging me. Inside is small like 6 to 8 people at a time read more

I hate to admit it but I get the hype. The donuts are really airy but chewy (in a good way). I had low expectations because donuts are just donuts. But it seriously blew me away. They have a THICK glaze on all the donuts. I highly recommend the matcha, coffee & cinnamon cake. It is pricey but it's worth the treat now & then! read more

Why this establishment still in business? Every time when I stop by this place they always run out of something. Today is almost out of everything . This is a perfect example of over promising and under delivering. Close the door at least you can save some labor. That's my suggestion. read more

Randy's Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Downey, California

This place deserves zero stars. Doesn't matter what day you go, they never have bacon. Don't bother asking for the breakfast sandwich because you'll never get it. They either don't turn on the flat top or they don't have all the ingredients. Imagine McDonald's telling you they ran out of bacon or sausage or eggs? It's always something with this place. And it really doesn't matter what day you go. They are always out of something even when the drive-through and the store are empty. As far as the donuts, if all you want is glazed or sugar, you should be fine. But they never have a dozen of anything else. read more

Jasmine came in she was patient , kind of, caring and she helped me pick my donut as well as the other two I purchased, she is a great asset to your store and I would come back again because of her great customer service! read more

Not bad! There's a lot of hype about Randy & I wanna see Randy the man himself. Donuts were def fresh! Long lines but that's bc ppl are drive thru window spent a lot time ordering. A variety menu. Classic, fancy and deluxe and premium donuts at different prices. Classic are cheaper $1.35 & deluxe $1.60, Fancy $1.85 and lastly premium are $2.95 a donut. I got half a dozen mix & paid $11. and some change. I have never tried Randy's donuts until today. Their not bad. Def a larger menu options. They have lattes, cap's, regular coffee iced or hot & more option's. There was parking when I went on the grand opening day @ 3:30ish pm. The store itself is small with a gigantic donut on top. I gotta admit me randy your blocking traffic on firestone bc ppl want your donuts. Yeh. I wanna try the iced blueberry & Randy didn't have it in stock! Grrrrr read more

Donuts were good.. the customer service, not so good. I went in this morning 09/ 02 and the worker was side eyeing me and whispering/ giggling . After I asked for my donuts he kept looking and laughing . read more

So Randy's donuts recently went up to $.50 each., $16.00 for a dozen. I'm not sure why ... but you already know the answer they'll come up with, when I asked the cashier she didn't know why either. You still get a great donut though and it's one of the more better donuts around compared to most of ALL the nasty donut shops you see at strip malls or in isolated locations that reads "DONUTS". The service is usually pleasant at any of the locations that have recently piped up in the last couple of years ( Santa Monica) set to open soon. I usually go to the original in Inglewood, just because of the nostalgia behind it.So enjoy your next Randy's ( Glaze/donut) which is never a miss , and one of my personal favorites, you can't go wrong here . Also, they're still trying to figure out the dough ratios when making them at the Downey/location... they're like JUMBO compared to the Inglewood store : ) * A small tip though, stay-away from DK" Donuts in Santa Monica.... DEFINITELY some of the most overpriced-garbage donuts you'll be paying for . read more

These donuts are so old & dry. Literally the frosting just falls off. What a disappointment.

The staff here is amazing. Always full of smiles especially Elizabeth. My experience here is always 110 per cent beyond expectations. The doughnuts are fresh daily as well as the hot coffee. The chocolate glaze are my favorites. Thank you again for having a group employees and makes me look forward to seeing them each and everyday. read more

Had a craving for donuts so stopped by Randy's. No wait drove right up to order. The clerk was friendly. Pulled up to window paid and got my donuts. Only ordered a few so received my donuts in a little bag. Well due to the placement of the donuts my fav donut was squished at the bottom by the others. The donuts were ok. read more

It's been a long-time coming to finally taste Randy's Donuts. This iconic donut shop is know by it's giant brown donut sign that will easily make you do a double-take when you're driving by. You seriously can't miss it, even if you tried. I've only seen it a handful of times driving down to LA, but never had the opportunity to stop. When my husband found out they finally opened up a shop in the OC, we made it a mission to go. We don't live in Costa Mesa or near it (which is probably a good thing for our diet), so we had to make this first trip worth it by ordering a variety. I forgot to take a picture, but we basically ordered 3 of each category (classics, premiums, etc). The donuts are a perfect size and a perfect price. You get such a better value here than the fancy doughnut place on 17th St that should remain nameless. Randy's gave me new appreciation for the classics. Sometimess you just want a classic donut, but made well. I really like their yeast donuts. I typically pick cake donuts (my fav is an old-fashioned), but Randy's yeast donuts are so soft and pillowy that theey became my new favorite. I especiallly liked their cinnamon crumb. The texture is a thin layer of crips on the outside, and slighly chewy soft inside. I also liked their apple fritter and the fancier donuts as well. The only slight disappointment was the blueberry donut. Nothing can compare to M&M's when it comes to blueberry donuts. (Sorry Randy's). Service was great and they offer a selection of Kean coffee to go with your yummy treats. This location has a small lot, so it can be difficult to find parking or go through the drive-thru on a busy time. We went on a Saturday around 11:30 way after breakfast hours, but it was still really busy. We kept weighing out how long the drive-thru will take vs squeezing through to get into a parking stall vs leaving and trying on another day. People who drove in behind us were more quick to make a decision and left. Luckily some other cars left as well which gave us room to get into a parking spot. It's really not a good location for a Randy's and the type of traffic they bring in, but I know real estate in Costa Mesa breaks the bank. read more

Normally I would give this place 5 stars... but whoever was working today really messed up my order. My bf and i ordered 3 donuts... They got 1/3 correct... when we were ordering, the workers were laughing and talking in the background and we could hear their conversation through the speaker... we got interrupted when we were ordering... the girl took our order and REPEATED it... 1 chocolate long John with cream, 1 raspberry filled, and 1 maple raised. What did we receive? 1 chocolate long John with cream, 1 powder filled with lemon, and 1 maple cake donut... Donuts were still good, but customer service was NOT. read more

Super great customer service! The ham and cheese croissants slap and the chocolate on the donuts is out of this world!

I purchased a Valentine's Day dozen donuts and a half dozen with one extra lemon filled donut. Little did I know that my total would be $53. The dozen Valentine's Day donuts were $33 a dozen! Wow...talk about price gouging. I didn't even realize that I paid so much. I didn't get a receipt. I thought I heard the girl say $33 total when she actually said $53. The donuts didn't even taste good. They were round plain donuts with chocolate and vanilla icing and a ton of sugar sprinkles on them. I will not be going here again. What a RIP off! read more

Randy's Donuts - Their Valentine dozen. $33 NOT WORTH IT. - Donuts Near Me - Downey, California

Randy's Donuts - Donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Downey, California

Randy's Donuts is a classic tourist destination in the LA area - if for no other reason than to see the huge donut on the roof that Ironman may have sat on. They offer a huge variety of delicious donuts with very creative and unique toppings - Fruit Loops, Oreos, Nutella, and s'mores, to name a few. It is not a place to stop for a healthy meal, but will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth for breakfast or a snack during the day. It is a must-visit for every tourist (at least once) when in Los Angeles! read more

I don't usually write reviews, let alone bad ones but poor management bothers and upsets me. I waited over 15 mins to get an oat latte in the drive through and by the time I get to the window, it's not even ready. The person in front of me was upset as well and he only got coffee and complained and so did I. I agreed with him that one shouldn't wait over 15 mins over a coffee and the cashier respond was "I know, we're busy" not a sorry or anything...yet there was no other costumers in there. As she's making the coffee I see that she's fully making it with their regular milk pouring it into their silver frother that said oat/almond milk. When I brought it up that this isn't oat she looked all a confused, again not apologizing for their mistake or for being ridiculously slow. At this point I was running late to work because of them, and I asked for a refund from the manager that didn't give a crap about the business at all or the costumers. Again, didn't apologize for anything. I should've gone to Starbucks or Dunkin's down the street..but it was out of my way. Their customer service and lack of management is horrible. People need to be accountable for their mistakes. Thanks for nothing and for wasting my time...oh best part is that the refund will take 7-8 days! read more

This donut shop does not make fresh donuts often. I've been over 4 times and every time the donuts have not been fresh. If I was comparing Randy's to the Los Angeles location, I would give a 1 star. Randy's in Los Angeles is fresh and well made donuts that deserve praise. Most local donut shops have better donuts than the Randy's Downey location. read more

First time going with my daughter and all we ordered were two vanilla lattes and they took over 15 minutes to make them. This was not a good experience. You'd think they'd throw in a free donut for the wait. Workers looked half asleep as well. read more

Okay, so the hype around this place is a little full of bass if you ask me. With babe in from NYC, my thought process was to hit all the "spots" and introduce him to the flavors of California...well stale was not at the top of my list but that is what he met with some of these overpriced fancies. I do not regret the trip, because come on if you live in So Cal, you should know Randy's right...now I do. BUT the oreo and churro donuts were stale. The old fashion chocolate crowler was oily, and the bear claw which is my all-time favorite was inedible. I do have to say the pink donut with sprinkles and the fruity pebbles were enjoyable but will I go back again? Probably not. read more

There breakfast sandwiches are the best! My favorite is the bacon breakfast sandwich on a English muffin. It has that thick ranch style bacon laying on a poached egg. It will make your mouth water by just looking at it. The only negative thing is that they only serve it from 5:30am to 1:00pm. read more

Just walked out of Randy's because they don't take any bills over $20. Keep in mind, I was buying $46.40 worth of donuts. That's cool, in my field of work I buy donuts literally 4-5 times a week. I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on. read more

We generally order Randy's Glazed rounds. We have tried it from the Pasadena, Inglewood, Costa Mesa and Inglewood branches. Our third time trying them at Downey and has always disappointed. Never coming back here again! The rounds were old and not fresh. The Inglewood location has the best rounds! read more

Donuts were terrible! Not fresh at all! Overpriced! We will not return! There is no comparison with the original Randy's!

I can't say anything except you have to go get some. Awesome staff and great doughnuts . Tastes as good even after 3 days; just warm them Up in the micro. I can't wait for them to open their Pasadena branch!!!! read more

I went to Randy's donuts today and got a combo #3 I believe where you can get 2 premium donuts and when I got home realized I was only given 1 out of the 2 that I had asked for.

Over priced donuts and didn't even taste fresh at all. Waste of money. I threw all donuts out when I got home because they tasted old

I tried drive thru at midnight! No chocolate donuts! No strawberry filled, no glaze twist! I literally tried so many different options and none were available! This was my third disappointment! Why have a 24 hours drive thru when it's obviously a fail! Drive thru was full options were scarce! Why have a menu when you are empty, you have no baker and are under staffed. Iam a Downey resident I see your drive thru filled constantly. Why not have by now a practical management budget to keep your bakers and menu friendly available to your costumers as well as your reputation! This is not my first awful yelp review! read more
