Crema's Take
“This beloved Bend institution has earned its reputation as a serious destination for cake donuts that locals swear by, with reviewers consistently praising their dense, buttery quality and creative flavor combinations like their standout apple fritters. The knowledgeable counter staff genuinely engage with customers—whether you're deciding on a whim or calling in your order—making the experience feel personal and unhurried despite the quick-grab appeal. Richard's opens early and delivers exactly what it promises: exceptional donuts and pastries that inspire fierce loyalty, though some note the service warmth can be uneven depending on who's behind the counter.”

I love going to Richard's, I won't bother with anyone else. My only small complaint is the last two times I got a box of dozen I didn't get any donut holes, (even though the tray was full) and no bakers dozen. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I kind of expect those. Regardless, Still the best donuts in town.
The woman at the counter was insightful and educated me on some donut names. She was patient as I was on a video call deciding what my family wanted. Purchased 5 donuts, 12 donut holes, and a chocolate milk. It was all under $20 & delicious. I would show photos if we didn't devour it by now. This place is far from my home and work but was worth the drive. Affordable, delicious, & great service! 🍩
The rumors are true! This is the best donut shop in town, and maybe the best donuts I’ve had in my whole life! I’m a cake donut connoisseur, and these truly are top-notch! 🍩🍩🍩 if you plan to stop by, remember, they are cash or Venmo only!
Donut holes- buttery, sweet little delicious donut balls. Would get again. Very good. Apple fritter- dense, moist, solid? apple fritter, solid as in not airy. Good and would get again but not my favorite type of fritter. Glazed donut- very good donut. Great glaze and the donut had my ideal airy texture. Maple cinnamon roll- 🤤 ridiculous. Gloopy, sticky, delicious maple on a cinnamon roll. Yes please.
The only thing good about Richards Donuts 🍩 is actually the Donuts 🍩 Which is actually 🤔 the point right? Well one would like to feel welcomed when spending $26 for a dozen. Yes you read 📚 that correctly, that Dozen Donuts 🍩 you see in the pics, cost me a hard earned $26, far cry from the days of $7 to $8 a bakers dozen. For that much cash, I would like to enter a establishment that is not treating me as if im full of contamination or coudies. From the roped off donut case to keep you a good 4 ft away, to having to yell my order so the server that is a good 6 to 10 ft away , can hear my delicious picks . Then I'm walked down to the hole in the Covid plexiglass to exchange my cash for my goodies is very off putting. Especially now that we all know COVID-19 is no longer a pandemic threat and tha social distancing and barriers did more harm than good. For $26 I would really like to get up close and personal with the 🍩 display to choose which delightful yummy treat I want to overpay for. Other than that. The Donuts are really really Good!!
