    My croissant Glazed Crondy
    Krystal G.

    I was going to the Spectrum next-door. I didn't have breakfast or lunch and I was craving for a glazed old fashion doughnut so I stopped in next-door to Randy's donuts. Unfortunately they were out of what I wanted however, I saw the square cronut glazed and decided to give it a try... It was absolutely delicious basically inhaled it. It would've been so good with a cup of milk, but I finished it off with my water. Service was quick. Location was clean, cute and quiet. I would definitely come back here. I noticed they had ginormous donuts that my kids might like.

    I had no idea that a small Randy's opened up here 3 years ago. It is very small, but has plenty to choose from. They even have little Mini's that cost under $1 each. The Butter Crumb Raised is also a must!

    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.

    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!

    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.

The line goes to the door much of the time, but they keep it moving, keep it kind, and the one barista keeps the drinks coming out so quickly that you barely have time to find a seat! It was pretty full again with half studier/workers and half friend pairs/ groups. We happened to come on the day they had a collab for jeans recycling with Madewell: donate a pair of jeans and get a free 12-oz drink from the "taplist" (regular menu list) plus a coupon for 15% off a pair of jeans! What a great and generous promo for a cause. Inside vinyl shops look fun. I am sad that the stationery shop is gone, but still looking forward to bringing my fam to check our the vinyl and fun drinks. The drinks: We came here just for the Fall Banoffee Latte because we crave/miss this British flavor. It was pretty good and a good sweetness, but I think toffee topping or a little more toffee flavor would've elevated it. I actually liked the free pour of Strawberry Swing even better! Green tea with strawberry flavor and a floral touch without bitterness. Had a taste of my friend's Princess Daisy green tea with mango/passion fruit, and it had a bit of bitter/tea flavor, but it grew on my friend's palate with every sip. The food: Only tried the cinamon sugar donut, which was tasty, solid regualr yeast donut topped with ?buttercream frosting and 8 or so cinnamon toast crunch pieces. The add-it-yourself maple drizzle dropper was a fun touch, though might've liked it a tad more viscous if possible (turned out looking like it rained maple syrup on the donut, heh). Plenty of parking on Orange St public parking lot or along that street. Now they charge at the lot, about $1.45 per hour (oh well, better than LA parking). Looking forward to returning! Maybe for the bananas foster matcha (heard good things from friend of a foodie friend :)).

The cafe is standard and the roast is a little dark (if that's how you like it). Also, what I thought was intriguing (and I ended up liking) was the "build your own toast" portion of the menu. There are "Built" options of things like the T.O.M. (Tomato, olive oil, and mozzarella - which is great with avocado ) and then you can literally have a build your own toast (you choose the bread, toppings, construct, etc.) Really cool establishment and I recommend you visit for a good coffee and toast!

A mere 1.3 miles away, I find this eight year old coffee shop that has its name origins from the German word for bread. Evidently, they have a plethora of baked foods mainly consisting of flour, water and often yeast displayed in full display next to the counter. I asked one of the staff if the shop makes their own bread and she said a local artisan bakery supplies them. They look amazing and they even have gluten-free options! This is a family-owned business that provides a more than suitable area for working on your laptop with WiFi access, or simply enjoying your favorite hot or cold caffeinated beverage, oh, and I must mention that they have premium blends as well for the coffee aficionado! Spacious indoor area that doesn't feel cramped and the exposed ceiling vents, the jazzy beats that is playing at a perfect volume and plenty of potted plants give it a balanced chill industrial vibe. There are tables outside too that's perfect for early morning or late afternoon when it's not too hot. I ordered the Vanilla Latte hot and asked that they fill up my insulated mug instead of the cardboard cup. Even with the steady stream of patrons, I received my expertly prepared brew by their hirsute barista, who gave me "beard envy" (I can only sport a goatee) :D The crew are friendly, conversing with the regulars. I can tell they enjoy working here! I don't come to Orange very often but would definitely grab coffee here again if I'm in the area and would highly recommend this place. This place is doing something right and by mere observation, I can tell they will continue to do so for years to come! Kudos!

Instead, we accidentally wandered into what felt like a Janis Joplin tribute concert. The music was blasting at nightclub volume--not exactly the relaxing start to the day we had in mind. But surprisingly... that wasn't even the worst part. The food was incredibly disappointing. I ordered the breakfast burrito, and the potatoes were still raw--hard enough to remind me they were once part of the ground..

There's nothing wrong with frozen French toast... unless you're charging $14 and calling it brunch. Another friend ordered the granola with berries. After a few bites, he gave it a skeptical look, pushed the bowl away, and decided breakfast simply wasn't worth the gamble.

The aloo paratha was okay, but the gobhi paratha was poorly prepared--the gobhi filling was falling out of the paratha with every bite, making it very difficult and messy to eat. After our meal, we wanted to wash our hands. Since we had just eaten inside the restaurant, we were surprised when a Male employee at the front desk told us that we had to use the hand-washing facilities outside because the restaurant restroom are closed as there are outdoor restrooms for the international festivals. What made the situation more disappointing was that shortly afterward, a woman customer came in and was allowed to use the restroom inside without being directed outside. Seeing different instructions being given to different customers made us feel that the rules were not being applied consistently. Additionally, my wife ordered a cookie that was extremely dry and tough. Overall, this was not a good first experience.

I'm genuinely so happy a place like this exists. It's not often that you find somewhere that makes you feel this excited about something as simple as a cup of chai. They've definitely won me over, and I'll happily keep coming back for more!
