Andy's Donut Stop

Andy's Donut Stop

Reviews Summary

Andy's Donut Shop is widely praised for its delicious, fresh donuts—especially classics like apple fritters, crullers, and cinnamon rolls—with many loyal customers spanning decades. The 24-hour service, friendly staff, and good coffee add to its appeal, though some note long waits or limited staffing. While the donuts are consistently excellent, a few reviews mention uneven quality or overly doughy textures. The shop's atmosphere is described as no-frills, with some concerns about safety late at night due to loitering. Breakfast sandwiches and lottery options are bonus perks.

Customer Reviews

I love that they have French Crueller donuts available (I like chocolate). Not many donut shops still carry them, because they say they?re difficult to make (and more expensive to make). Too bad their Lotto machines were down the day I went. I wasn?t able to buy any scratchers or Quick Pick lottery tickets for Power Ball and Mega Millions. Looking forward to trying their Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Boba drink ($5.50) sometime. It wasn?t available that day either.

5 stars Stopped by yesterday and was seriously impressed. The donuts were fresh and delicious, and the shop had a great vibe with friendly service. They?ve got other tasty options too if you?re not just after donuts. I?ll definetly be back for the full experience.

Neighborhood donut shop with a grill. There are no tables since covid. Holy Moly donut shop by Foodsco has tables

We liked the variety of donuts on display, most of your typical donuts you can find anywhere. What makes this place unique is it also offers various sandwiches and burgers. While you wait in line or for your order, there are scratcher dispensers. The serious downside is the wait. If there's just one person working, be prepared to wait. We had just two people in front of us in line and it took 25 minutes to finally get our two donuts and go, no joke.

Whoever the woman is working right now, 12/29 at 5pm has HORRIBLE CUSTIMWR SERVICE! My daughter went in for a bagel with her best friend. The woman didn't mention that she has other bagels available that wasn't being displayed at the moment so my when my daughter realized that they had a plain bagels behind the counter she wanted to change her order. 1st of why would you offer 1 customer 1 things and something else to another customer all at once. Well long story short the woman refused to correct my daught

Very good donuts here, nice selection, too. Place is a bit run down, but don?t let that stop you!! Good coffee, and if you?re looking for lotto tickets, you got ?em here! Tasty place highly recommend.

The donuts and muffins are good especially the blueberry one ??

Great place for Donuts and Coffee Had the bacon and cheese croissant Cinnamon Donuts Apple fritter and Rasberry filled Chocolate

I went to buy a donut to find out it's not Andy's. Under new management and owners. When it belonged to Andy's you could see Authentic adults working. I would come here because I loved the conversation. Today that didn't happen. Bought a dozen of donuts. The donuts we dry. The cashier was really nice. Paid 18 dolars for a dozen of donuts.

If your looking for the freshest donuts in Richmond, open 24 hours a day, then stop by Andy's Donuts. These Donuts are so soft and fresh. You won't regret it... WARNING: DONT GO TO THIS AREA LATE AT NIGHT. The area is crime riden, especially late at night and early in the morning. Be careful if you do. Be aware of your surroundings in the early hours. Please.

I'm assuming I was speaking with Andy himself he was very nice accomodating and funny. I will definitely go back especially since his Donuts were delicious ??. The store was small and on the corner so you cannot miss it. Enjoy!!

Last time I came here, I tried to make it my last. The donut variations were limited and they were nothing to fawn over. HOWEVER, they were the only donut place opened later at night so I decided to give them another go. I'm so glad I did. I think they switched up their recipe because the donuts are SO FLUFFY. They're practically filled with air. They also have more variety and are, more importantly, tasty. Additionally, they are all reasonably priced. This will be my go-to place for donuts now for as long

Love their donuts! Our fav spot to go for breakfast.. great service, especially from the older Asian lady.

All the staff r very nice under standing respectful joyfully helpful to me n other as a faithful customers for year to come

Large selection of donuts & very fresh.

Classic, no-frills donut joint. Not only is the product exceptional, but the staff has always been accommodating whenever I've requested a large order. The red velvet cake donut in particular is maybe the best I've ever had.

No frills, basic donut shop. Solid eats

While in a less than optimum place in town the donut selection is better than average and I have to say their baking is above average as well.

Great selection of donuts, lots of Joe, good people.

Great doughnuts, excellent service!

I purchased 5 items using DoorDash and only three arrived. The dasher asked if everything was inside and was told, yes. The dasher could not confirm the order because it was taped up. I tried calling Andy's and no one would answer the phone. Because of this, my wife and I had to flip a coin to see who was going to be able to eat.

Delicious selection of donuts for me and the kids. The workers were so friendly and thoughtful for me and my three children. My 2 year old needed to use the restroom and they even let us run to the back despite the fact they normally don't have an available public toilet. The worker made sure I had lots of napkins for the kids. The donuts we're fresh and warm. The kids loved the driving donut sign on the side of the building! So cute. The interior was a little cluttered due to some orders sitting in the mai

They're open very late but their donuts taste like very old oil.

Best donuts in the town...PERIODT!

Walked in and order 5 dozen Doughnuts ?? and they gave me good customer service. They guys at work were happy with the Doughnuts and I?ll be going back for more

My go-to place for fresh donuts. Service is great

24 hour donut shop is a fantastic idea. And the donuts are the best in Richmond/ San Pablo ! It's no surprise they have been in business for decades. I enjoyed the apple fritter in being able to place Hot Spot is a bonus. I would have given Andy's donut shop 5 stars but for Loitering people just acting classless..

I went 4yrs ago because of the laundromat that was behind them, and they're not what they were in the 80's & 90's when I went every night for a dozen of freshly baked glaze donuts, but it seems like they only have the bare minimum from the coffee creamers, to the actual donuts they bake or sell? The taste isn't the same, nor is the coffee very good, so I don't patronize them anymore. My opinion only

Sadly posting 2 stars. This place has always had a fresh variety of donuts. Today there were only 3 kinds and the filled donuts were barely filled. New ownership? I hope it was just today and not going forward. That place has a good history of deliciousness.

No one in the shop was wearing their mask. Not the man in the front helping customers or the two people working in the back. For this reason we chose not to try out the donuts from here. The donuts did look amazing, but wasn't worth risking my life for.

Forever a patron when I actually eat carbs. They use to be a 24 hour donut shop but things change and owners changed. Regardless they are still unique in its own and equally great quality donuts, bagels, service. They have fantastic prices! Apple fritter the size of my head for $2.50! And get this what donut shop is a donut shop if they don?t have lemon donuts?! Bagels are made in-house too and they have jalape?o and cheese and more.

OMG I just love a good Andy's doughnut or 2 or 3...they are THE BEST . Their COFFEE is also the best!! Another fav is the BLT delicious!! They have a super nice selection of lottery tickets in machine. Been going here since a child.

Love 5hr breakfast sandwiches, made fresh in front of you. And donuts al delicious at reasonable pricing. Casual comfortable atmosphere and very nice employees

I?ve been a customer since 13. They never disappoint. Great donuts.

Best donut shop in Richmond. They are always fresh donuts. Plus I wanted donuts for m wedding to put a tier and I oder a lot and all of them were fresh and accurate. They are priced right and very nice customer service.

My son loves the Vietnamese ice coffee and the doughnuts are good taste..

Great selection of donuts. I understand they are 24hrs, but I think I've only gone in the morning. Fresh donuts and a little selection of coffee and coffee condiments in addition to packaged beverages and hot chocolate. Friendly staff.

The customers are rough and the spot in town Aunt the best but I am hooked on the apple fritters and the Boston cream pies, or something like that. They have the custard inside! Try them on for size. I do not believe that you will be disappointed.

Glazed, twist, and buttermilk were too doughy. They obviously tried to make these donuts huge, which is a bad idea bc it throws off the ratio of dough to tasty outside. The exception was the cruller which was moist and delicious. Weirdly it costs more than a regular donut.

Donuts are sooo good and fresh as well as the coffee .i wish they stay open 24 hrs like they use to. Llate night donuts,milk or coffee was an eye ooeber when working late nighr

Not the same as old Andy's Donut Shop, they use to sell day-old donuts for less but now all products breaks the bank. Two donuts almost the same price as a half dozen. Pricing terrible always cost me over $5 for two donuts. I've decided I don't need the sugar anyway.

Always go in the wee hours of the night to get the fresh fried dough straight out the fryer. Donuts are always great from texture to taste . been a customer my entire life.

Great Donuts & Coffee. Seedy , Shady people Lurking Out side So watch Out & Be careful Where You Park Your car. This Business has PAST the Test of Time and has been in Business for Years = " A + Landmark " Business.

Open 24 hours, but not in the greatest neighborhood. I usually call ahead with my order and pickup within a few minutes. Excellent quality donuts.

Great coffee spot and is always fresh they also make breakfast sandwiches. Would recommend this for anyone craving donut. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Oh man these are the best donuts!!!! The donuts here are excellent better than trendy little donuts shops that sell over priced donuts. I had to cut down on my donuts because I started to develop donut around my waist....??????????????

The donuts are excellent, the staff is wonderful. The prices are a little high for donuts, but not unreasonable. The breakfast wrap was a bargain and really good.

I?ve only been to this place once and I?ll never go again. I got a maple long john, and as soon as I got home and took it out of the bag, I noticed a huge hair mixed into the frosting on top of the donut. So gross! Because the hair was mixed into the frosting, I can only assume they?re not wearing hair nets when making the donuts, which is a huge red flag for me.

Andy's has been my favorite donut shop for 50 years. I am 71 years old now and I would recommend these donuts to all. I love the cinnamon rolls too.

The only shoppe open in the wee-hours of the morning for your confectionery needs, their pastries are worth the trip. The area feels rough, and unsavory characters tend to congregate outside.

Great doughnuts, all the time at any time of the day!

Over priced and bad service but not as bad as when that old Asian man looked at me than made sure to keep counting his change for another 5 minutes. Damn, so sorry my ancestors conquered this land so you could come over, ride our coattails and be resentful at the same time. Your welcome!

Excellent friendly service, as always. I love the cruller donuts I get Everytime and the raised sugar donuts are fantastic too.

I minus one star cause Andys O.G. Chicken next door is not open. So instead I settled for donuts and coffee also a nice bacon,egg on a croissant.

Wonderful donuts always fresh great service,they open very early and stay open late for all of the various so shifts that so many of us work.??

I got a dozen donuts. They were good and fresh. Almost like back in the day. Been going there for years.

I love this place. The donuts are great and I was surprised when I found complementary donut holes with my order of 1 dozen donuts. A+++

Doughnuts are good but employees often don?t have their masks on properly. Also, there?s a lot of drug dealing around which makes it uncomfortable

This place has been around longer than I have. The donuts are great and reasonably priced. I prefer the raspberry jelly-filled.

Breakfast sandwiches are made to order. No microwave. Bacon is crisp and eggs are fresh. Oh yeah, they also have donuts.

Never fails spot for hot dough opening @3amim there at bour 230 245 and they usually make eye contact and a wave like cmon no use in waiting when its hot lil pillows wit cascading icing melting down n around

Fresh donuts on a Saturday afternoon!!! Apple fritter, old fashioned chocolate, traditional glaze, maple glaze... all were delicious.

Best Blueberry Cake Donuts Get a Blueberry Crumb Cake if you can, so good make you wanna fight over one of Richmond's hidden Gems

Definitely one of my favorite spots for donuts and breakfast sandwiches busy place fun atmosphere

Not the best ever, but I like the kind friendly lady in the mornings, good ham n cheese croissants and it's the only good one towards my job. ??

The donuts were amazing and the coffee was so good. The service was really good too!

I love this place. Its open 24/7.And has a Lottery Ticket vending machine. And the donuts are delicious and cheap too.

Omg our coffe pot at work broke on night shift. They gave us an entire pot of coffee...the donuts are amazing even at 3 am...the staff is great

Amazing donuts with stank attitude service. Those women behind the counter are the worst.

I grabbed a dozen donuts service was quick and ladies are very polite

Always tasty, with bonus donut holes. A Richmond classic!

Best donuts in the area if you don't mind waiting your way through the area

Before midnight its ok to come alone and after 12 midnight its scary at front door donnas shop is people and i think they can robe u wallet..becareful!

Simple, delish and very affirdable donuts. What else would you expect? Coffee not the best, but slides well with the doughnut.

The best place to get doughnuts at any time, day or night!!! Best customer service also!!!

I used to go here when I was a little girl. Ownership has changed and the quality has as well. Still good but not great.

Good peoples are at and inside the shop who makes the donuts a nice place to visit! God Bless All.
