Cash or Venmo only! Was looking for a quick snack and stumbled upon this gem! Mom and pop shop, sweet lady working in front. Donuts, cookies, croissants, cinnamon rolls! Tried out a variety of items and they were all so good, at a very affordable price. 1. A must get in the cookies! So soft and moist I can literally eat 20 in one sitting! At 50 cents each it's worth every penny! I will definitely be bringing these to parties in the future. 2. The cinnamon roll! Also very soft (Not hard and chewy like at Cinnabon). The frosting is baked on, not that wet icing. Perfect amount of sweetness. 3. The donuts. Tried out the sugar twists! Super good! Just had enough good bounce in the doughy texture. Didn't feel hard or dense. 4. Ham and cheese croissant. The croissant itself tastes really fresh! The Ham and cheese is okay, wasn't as cheesy as I hoped (A slice of white cheese) and only one slice of ham, but for $4, the freshness is the croissant makes up for it! Overall I really enjoyed everything and I will be back! read more

The sweetest woman owns this shop and she makes delicious cookies and doughnuts! My husband and I needed cookies for our wedding rehearsal dinner and they were a hit! We loved this place so much we bought doughnuts for our wedding the next day and they got devoured in minutes. Neither of us had got to try a doughnut on the big day since we were constantly running around but we just went back and they were so good! The chocolate and pink donuts had a light crisp to them which I loved! The maple bars were perfection as well, absolutely delicious. I highly recommend coming to this spot for all your sweets needs. read more

Corner donut shop in an unassuming plaza. Parking shared with several businesses. I saw the choc cookies on Yelp so I wanted to stop in. Snagged a chocolate bar donut, chocolate as expected, pretty moist and soft donut, fresh tasting even though I arrived in the afternoon at 2pm. Got a couple chocolate chip cookies , they are a chewy texture, pretty balanced taste, a good home made solid chocolate chip cookie, will return when I'm in the area. Saw a sign cash only, glad I had some change on me :) read more

No frills, very mom & pop bakery in a small strip plaza. I found this place thanks to a Yelp search and I'm so glad I did! I just wanted a sweet little treat and this was perfect! 50 cents a cookie, $5 per dozen. You can't beat these prices! AND for the cookies to be super soft, chewy, delicious? A WIN WIN I see other reviews mentioning them fresh out of the oven. These have been on the display rack for a while (not at all hot) BUT still really quality cookies! Chocolate chip and snickerdoodle were both really good! Like simple done right. I'm here to sing praises for the oatmeal chocolate chip!!! I love oatmeal cookies and hate raisin-- so for this place to do oatmeal raisin /and/ oatmeal chocolate chip? A WIN !! I got 6 oatmeal chocolate cookies and am a very happy camper. They're soft, chewy, perfectly good amount of sweet without being too much. There's a bunch of parking in the lot. There's no space to really eat in the store but that's not the vibes of the place anyways. Super small store for just grab n go. Definitely will be back the next time I'm in the area! Will try their donuts next time too! read more

Best cookies in town easily. But don't tell anyone cuz it's our little secret shhhhhhhhh

Stopped by for some donuts, was craving for something sweet. Good and fluffy donuts. I like donut holes best and it's the cheapest. Great and friendly service here - the shop is small cleaned and with easy parking spaces. Plenty of typical donut choices with reasonable prices. read more

Cookies are always a hit at potlucks. Trust me. And the ham and cheese crescents are top tier. Service is friendly, it shows that they care about their regulars. The place is frozen in time and that's a nice feel. read more

My coworker introduced me to these cookies during our staff meeting and I was blown away. They are fresh and delicious. So many cookies places nowadays are over priced and over hypered. This place makes them just the right size and priced overly reasonable for this inflated economy. When I come into buy cookies, I somehow end up with donuts too lol one stop shop for cookies and donuts :) highly recommended for good quality cookies and a friendly owner lady. read more

Do NOT go buy your cookies at Costco or Sams Club - no no no. Just call in an order or walk-in and ask for 2-4 dozen chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle cookies. You will be very popular rolling in with your pink box! This place has never disappointed, and everyone raves about their cookies because they taste better than home-made. During lent, we gave up chocolate and they made a batch of chocolate chip cookies but without the chips! hahaa. SO delicious still! Support this small business. No frills, just delicous cookies. read more

I have been going to the "Cookie Jar" for over 30 years and Love the homemade banana nut bread and the Bavarian cream filled donut. There is always Ole timers drinking the coffee and reminiscing of their work days. Always friendly and a Smile. read more

I only tried the donuts. Had a few different kinds. The cherry filled, the apple fritter, and a glazed. The donuts are ok. Nothing special. The fritter is actually kinda bad. Really tasteless and a bit dense. I even took it home and tried to air fry but it didn't improve the test. read more

Free chocolate Cookie because I needed just one for my son. They closed early because they ran out early. However, when they realized I just wanted a single cooke for my 3 year old, they were able to get me one. I offered to pay but they said it was on the house as we had driven from lakewood and detoured just for them. Perhaps, I can swing be another day before they close and try one. My son is a happy camper, though! read more

CASH ONLY! Or Venmo :) These are the freshest most delicious donuts I've ever had. I stopped here on a Saturday morning around 6:30 AM to pick up some donuts for the nurses prior to going to work. They were coming fresh out of the oven when I arrived. She charged me $12 for a dozen donuts which I think is very fair!!!! I tried the apple cinnamon one and it was sooooooo delicious. The owner was sweet and polite. I will definitely be coming back! read more

ORDER oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (5/5) i always come here for cookies! my absolute favorite are the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but they're usually sold out if i don't go early enough :') the chocolate chip cookies & snickerdoodle cookies are yummy as well! the cookies are a little on the sweet side, but the texture is perfect. SERVICE quick and easy transaction since i always come in knowing what i want :P AMBIANCE relatively small shop with a few seats. read more

Wow! The cookies were fresh out of the oven and almost didn't make it home! The Oatmeal Raisin and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip stayed chewy and flavorful. read more

I decided to treat myself to some donuts and so I went to Richard's coz it's been a while. Well, it was a GREAT choice! Damn, their donuts are delicious... soft, pillowy, fresh, and fluffy. I must say AngelFood and Richard's are on par. Both are my favorites now. Since I haven't had donuts in months, I got an assorted dozen and I'm all about sharing after all. Staff was friendly; I was in and out the door in a few minutes. The store was clean and organized. They also good selection of flavors when I stopped by. Decor was sparse and I think this is typical for any donut shop. I was there for donuts, not to be wowed by decorations. Lol. For the yummy treats I ate, the price was reasonable. I enjoyed my donuts and would definitely return. I didn't get cookies this time coz they ran out of the flavors I wanted and I was craving more for donuts. read more

The baked cinnamon rolls are INCREDIBLE! Somehow they always taste like they just came out of the oven! Such friendly people - the same owners for so many years now. Neighborhood charm that's hard to find locally anymore! read more

Amazing fresh cookies at any given time or call to order!! Chocolate chip is the best! And they have oatmeal chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, oatmeal cookies! U can't go wrong!! Cheap too!! read more

I found Richards Cookies and Donuts thru the "too good to go" app! I reserved my "surprise bag" and came to pick up later in the day. To my surprise, I got a dozen donuts for $5! Omg what a steal! It's a surprise bag, so they pick what's in the grab bag. I brought it back to work and shared with my coworkers. It was a great mid-day snack! Yummy! I recommend checking out the app to see what other local shops are around and/or seeing if Richards Cookies and Donuts is on there to try out their donuts! I def would love to try and get more surprise bags to see what else I can try next! *maybe cookies????* Honorable Mentions: -plenty of parking read more

Someone brought these cookies to a baby shower I was at and I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. Then I ordered some for my holiday party and again for my work potluck. The oatmeal chocolate chip are *AMAZING* Chocolate chip and snickerdoodle were also very good. You can place your order ahead by phone, like $5-6 for a dozen which is such a deal given the quality and size of the cookies. The place itself is a donut shop and the people running it are super friendly. Highly recommend for your next gathering read more

I had a craving for donuts and Yelp led me to this cute mom-and-pop shop! First off, the smell when you walk in is great! I had to remind myself that I was only there for donuts, lol. I got a box to share with my house and they had a great variety. You can't go wrong with the classics! Taste-wise, they were all really yummy and were all very fresh and fluffy. The prices were great too. Bring cash!! The workers were also very sweet and helpful. I will definitely be back to try the cookies next time! read more

Location: Brookhurst/Warner This has been my go-to donut shop for the past 15+ years. There's a good reason why. Richard's is my ABSOLUTE favorite for light, airy and fluffy donuts. They hit the mark every single time. If donuts aren't your thing, their cinnamon rolls are to die for. I usually eat half for breakfast and the other half as an afternoon snack ;) read more

Staff was extremely friendly, the cookies and banana bread were affordable and delicious! I will definitely be coming back very often!

This little gem is a total winner. We've ordered a boatload of stuff from their lineup and loved all of it. Specifically, the ham and cheese croissants and INSANELY GOOD! The filling is tasty but still doesn't overpower the buttery croissant. It's an amazing balance. Their donuts have a natural flavor that seems to be missing from today's average donut shops. There just seems like an extra amount of care and diligence is given to them and I certainly appreciated it. Do not get me started on the apple fritters. OMG...soooooo good. If you can find someone to split one with then go for it. They don't keep well and should be eaten when they're fresh. Get there early as they have a finite amount that they make each day and when it's gone...it's gone. The staff there are super sweet and friendly too! Go there...eat tasty food...you're welcome. read more

I remember trying this place years ago when trying to find a good cookie place in the area (before all the Crumbl, Insomnia, etc hype and presence). Its a small, classic corner donut shop that you can charmingly tell has been in the neighborhood for a long time. I recently was reminded of this place after seeing a tiktoker visit here so I came back to support. The owner is so sweet and prices remain so affordable. She has all your classic donuts but it looks made with a small batch feel (aka with love and quality). Her other speciality is cookies (hence the shop name). She has a select menu that shes great at, I always get the chocolate chip. She also had snickerdoodle and oatmeal raisin. She also has slices of sweet loafs, like zucchini, carrot, banana bread. To give you and idea of how affordable it is, I walked out with 3 donut holes and 3 cookies for less than $2. Cash only. Come support! read more

For the price, Richard's Cookie Jar offers very affordable cookies! Six cookies for $2! Wow! Cookies are average sized, not giant like those gourmet cookies you find at Panera... etc. and they offer chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, and oatmeal raisin. I honestly don't think that the cookies were that great, they were good but not great. I still gave this place 4 stars because the lady who works here or perhaps is the owner is nice and helpful and the price can't be beat for homemade cookies. I recommend coming here if you are in the area and need to bring something for the staff, party, or just want some homemade-tasting cookies because these cookies are just that and it saves you the trouble of making them yourself (unless you're a regular baker) and it doesn't cost much! read more

Fresh chewy oven baked cookies. My BF and I love Richard's Cookie Jar. They are made when order. We call about 45 minutes in advance for these cookies and they are always ready when we arrive. The oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite. They even have oatmeal chocolate chip, regular chocolate chip, peanut butter and butter cookies. They are 6 for $2. Super affordable and always satisfying. I like the size of each cookie. They aren't too big or too small. I highly recommend if you love cookies like we do. read more

Ordered a surprise bag via Too Good to Go. I was honestly hoping the bag would have some of the chocolate chip cookies that some Yelpers raved about in their reviews, but I was not at all disappointed by the box so filled with donuts that it would not close. I appreciate that these bags/boxes are picked up at the end of the day versus the next day. The donuts still taste fresh! Pick up was a breeze and parking was easy to find. Not the flashiest store but you don't go to a donut shop for the ambiance. read more

After finding Richard's Cookie Jar on Yelp and reading the reviews, I placed an order for 2 dozen cookies the day after. I purchased 12 chocolate chip, 6 oatmeal chocolate chip and 6 oatmeal cookies for a total of $8! Seriously, what a deal. The lady on the phone who took my order was very friendly and allowed me to mix and match my second dozen. The cookies were ready for pick up on time and were great. They weren't the best cookies I've ever had but very solid and you just can't beat the price per dozen. Definitely worth a try and a good deal for big parties. read more

The sweetest owner and their cookies are unbeatable. Remember those 25-cent chocolate chip cookies they used to sell during lunch back in elementary school? (3 decades ago, lol) They taste just like them. The best and my go to place for cookies. read more

Friendly donut place in the neighborhood! I love their cream filled chocolate donuts, buttermilk, and glazed. Haven't tried their cookies yet. The owner is very nice and attentive.

Yall i have nothing but GOOD THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PLACE!! First, its a mom and pop shop, and the mom is so nice, considerate, and makes a damn good donut/cookie. The place is sorta hidden, but its right on the corner behind the liquor store. Its literally a hidden gem. I got an assortment of donuts, cookies and muffins and i did not have a bad dessert, out of like the 20 i got. If you want to taste pure happiness and excitement then get something from Richard cookie jar. read more

I always call into this donut store and they have my donuts ready when I get there. The owner is so sweet and helpful. o can tell they have a lot of regulars because people are always sitting around chatting with them while I am in a rush. I like their cookies, reasonable prices and sometimes they even give me the warm donuts! I didn't give the last star because they are CASH ONLY and sometimes I don't have cash. read more

I bought 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies for the in laws. They liked them and demolished them in couple hours. I tasted one and thought it was a little artificial tasting but it was ok. Texture was on point- soft and chewy. And you can't beat the price. I think it was $4.50/dozen. I also got 3 donuts and a dozen donut holes. I got a sprinkled cake donut, old fashion and maple glazed. The cake and maple glazed were good. The old fashion tasted a little oily. I'd return for the donuts holes! They were yummy and delicious! Please support the mom and pop shop. Customer service on point. read more
