California-based Randy’s Donuts has announced its much-anticipated debut in Arizona with the opening of a new location in Phoenix, situated on Seventh Street, just north of Montebello Avenue.
Established in 1952 in Inglewood, Randy’s Donuts has garnered fame over the decades, largely owing to its iconic rooftop doughnut, drawing visitors from far and wide. The shop has left its mark in numerous Hollywood productions, including notable appearances in “Iron Man 2,” “Get Shorty,” and “Mars Attacks,” as well as on popular television shows like “Arrested Development” and “The Simpsons.”
Expanding its reach globally since 2015, Randy’s Donuts has ventured into international territories, including Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and the Philippines. Notably, when the San Diego location opened its doors, eager patrons queued for hours, eager to indulge in the signature free glazed doughnut.
The question looms: does Randy’s Donuts live up to its towering reputation?
Opinions have flooded social media platforms, with users like Seantotherescue on Reddit drawing comparisons to beloved establishments such as In-N-Out. “I’d compare it to In-N-Out. Fancy donut places outclass it, but for the price they’re among the best at what they do,” remarked Seantotherescue.
Turning attention to the menu offerings at Randy’s Donuts, patrons can expect an array of classic and inventive creations. Choices range from traditional Raised and Cake doughnuts, including Glazed Raised, Maple Raised, and Sprinkle Iced Cake, to more elaborate options found in the Deluxe Selection, such as Maple Long John, Chocolate Old Fashioned, and Blueberry Iced Cake.
For those seeking indulgence, the Fancy Selections section boasts treats like Bear Claw, Apple Fritter, and Butter Crumb Raised. Meanwhile, the Premium Selections elevate the experience with offerings like Matcha Tea Raised, Oreo Raised, and Fruity Pebble Raised.
The beverage menu is equally enticing, featuring specialty coffee concoctions like Butter Crumb Latte, refreshing boba teas such as Taro Milk Tea, decadent milkshakes like Dulce de Leche, and chilled delights such as Orange Creamsicle. And, of course, patrons can savor the classic Randy’s Roast drip coffee.
With its rich history, acclaimed doughnuts, and diverse menu offerings, Randy’s Donuts’ arrival in Arizona promises to delight locals and visitors alike, inviting them to experience a taste of its legendary treats.
