My brother and his family were in town, so I brought my nephew there to pick out a dozen doughnuts for all of us. The young man who helped us was very nice. We picked out 11 run of the mill doughnuts, and my nephew picked a twelfth that was a chocolate bar (a bit bigger than your typical doughnut). I paid and we were on our way out the door when the old boss lady started berating the young man (in front of many customers) who helped us. He called me back and informed me that the twelfth doughnut cost more, and we owed an extra 70 or 75 cents. Were I the owner of the place in that situation, I would have taken the employee aside at a later time and reminded him of the increased cost of the larger doughnuts rather than making a big scene, and asking the customer to cough up more money just as they were about to walk out the door. Lesson learned. Now we go to Bel Air or Raley's when we want doughnuts. read more

So fun and delicious and nice! Thank you for the fun giant donut!!! Can't stop eating the donut holes!

The selection here is amazing. Who knew Elk Grove was harboring this little gem of a donut shop? This is the only place I've found a bacon maple donut. Not that I've gone looking for it or anything... I thank the Yelp gods for directing me to this place. read more

Been coming here ever since I was 4. & during that time until now I think it's been under 1 new owner I think b/c the workers used to be just the family & their daughter & her classmate. Their glaze is different but their soft fluffy dough is still to DIE for! I love that they've always had friendly workers no matter who currently owns it. Will forever be my #1 donut shop. It's childhood memories. read more

I loved it!!! Best customer arrive ever!!! She seen how much I wanted the lemon filling donut, so she threw it in, with a few extra ones =] which made my day since I'm a broke college student. But it was a dozen for I think 9 dollars, then .50 extra for the filings.. Definitely going back!! read more

Java Time Donuts - Yumm - Donuts Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I've heard about Java Time Donuts and finally decided to give them a try today. Right when I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly employee, which is much appreciated early in the morning. There was a diverse and plentiful selection of donuts with reasonable prices. I had a difficult time deciding! I ended up with an apple fritter and bacon maple bar. Both are fantastic of course. If you're willing to splurge on donuts, this is the place to go to in Elk Grove. Tasty donuts and great customer service! read more

Horrible customer Service...HOR _RI_BLE. I cannot express how disrespectful this cashier has been. I love a good fresh donuts but I refuse to spend my money in this place even one more red cent. - a couple stars read more

Came here to get a treat for my kids. They had a bunch of variety and much of it was appealing to kids. I got an M&M donut and cake based sprinkles. It was really good and at a reasonable price. On top of that, they were nice to throw in some donut holes in my box. Would definitely recommend! read more

Java Time Donuts - Soooooo good - Donuts Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Been coming here for years. They have the best donuts and customer service. I usually come here for their famous cream puffs which is always almost sold out when I come in. If you're having a potluck at work or a party order a few dozen of puffs and it will be the hottest tray on the table. read more

I love their donuts. I adore their customer service. They make fresh bacon maple donuts as soon as they see me, because they know that when I step in the building, it's about to go down. One day, I'm going to order one of their truck tire sized donut cakes. You just wait and see. Excellent donuts. The best. And not expensive at all for the quality that they give. read more

Good donuts, but bad parking situation. Get there early while they are fresh. These are good donuts and there is plenty of variety in the morning. If you get there late, such as in the afternoon, there is no selection left. Seating is minimal, but there really isn't much ambiance that would inspired you to sit inside for a long period of time. The coffee selection is big thermoses of Java Time coffee, its fresh but just average coffee. At least its not expensive! This place also has some massive donuts, I really don't know what they are for. read more

This is not your ordinary donut shop and for someone who doesn't drink coffee- "Java" certainly isn't what I go for- it's their amazingly fresh, delicious, and creative donuts!! I have run in for a dozen donuts for family or a few dozen for work- and have NEVER been disappointed!! All whose tastebuds come in contact with one of these delicious treats always wants to know where they came from- and then they too become frequenters of Java Time. In addition to their gourmet "specialty" donuts, like bacon maple bars, Oreo cream donuts, red velvet bars, they have a ginormous donut that comes in a few different sizes for big events- I've ordered them for work events, a super bowl party, and birthdays- they too can be just as decadent as the "normal" donuts and can also be custom decorated. Additionally, when you purchase one of these custom orders, they throw in a ton of donut holes! To sum it up- if you want a donut, don't waste your time going anywhere else- the service is always friendly and the donuts- well... try for yourself- you'll be intrigued and your tastebuds will thank you. read more

Yumm... I tried the bacon maple donut (pleasantly surprised - savory and delish), chocolate, and glaze. The donuts are wonderful - light and fluffy. The lady was helping another customer, and she asked for a donut that was out of stock. She went in the back and quickly made it for her. On top of that, I bought half a dozen and she gave me a custard for free also - score!! I'm a fan - will definitely be coming back. read more

Have came to this place for years and it will never be beaten! Donuts always fresh and prices are unmatched, best of all the service I receive is always top notch, definitely recommend anyone who hasn't been here to stop by and get some for the whole family! read more

One of the best donut shop in elk grove. Delish and fluffy donuts that will melts in your mouth. Love that they have tons of variety to choose from. Their maple bacon donuts is to die for. Will definitely come back. read more

I was really craving a regular glazed donut so I decided to come here since this place has some decent reviews. The shop is a tight space but I don't mind. They have a wide range of donuts! The glazed donut was soft and sweet, but not overly sweet. The dough tasted good and not bitter like some donut places that have a weird after taste. Not bad! I would come here again :) read more

Best donut shop around here. They have some unique specialty donuts as well, love it!

I R the CREAM PUFF! well, if i'm early enough that is. I try to stop by whenever i'm in town. But they are usually out of the custard (my fav) ones. And those cake donuts...mmmmmmmmm...Java Time has ruined donuts for me. We need one here in Hawaii! read more

I was just in there for a coffee latte and maple bar. First time there. The girl working there was so nice. The place is clean and had a variety of donuts. This is the first time i get coffee at a coffee shop where it taste good! Will be coming back. My new fav donut shop since im new to the area. read more

OMG they have the biggest donut in EG..Great assortment of donuts and great customer service!

Best place to get donuts! I love their cream puff things, although the powdered sugar gets everywhere when you eat them. Their donuts are so creative, and the staff is so nice! I only eat donuts maybe twice a year, but this is the place I go. I always recommend them! read more

Coming into this place ever since visitng the Java Time donuts on Elk Grove blvd. I had the best hope for an amazing doughnut. I special ordered heart shaped donuts for a birthday present and the workers were very sweet even though their English is a bit off. Upon walking in, you see a large doughnut that looks like it could be your new spare tire! It's a custom doughnut cake you can special order for about $18 and one day I'm going to buy it. But Java Time has caught my heart with their special shapes and flavors, I have a new regular place for doughnuts now! read more

Holy Donut Batman!!!! In honour of National Donut Day work was nice enough to bring in these beauties. These aren't your regular mom and pop donuts (which I love) but works of art. Donuts with cereal on it, what?? Donuts with fruit on it, huh?? Anyways, I went Chocolate Bar filled with Peanut Butter. It was delicious!! read more

By far the best donuts ever... highly recommended. They have more selections as well.

I've never had such delectable doughnuts and cream puffs! I wish I found this place years ago. This locally owned shop never lets me down. The prices are beyond decent. The bacon maple bar is on the sweet side but is just covered with so much bacon, I can resist. I can't image coming in and not getting a few cream puffs for the road. They are so fresh, light and fluffy. No matter how full I am, I can always squeeze in a few. If you don't feel adventurous, the blue berry bars and éclairs are a must. Even just seeing the heart shaped doughnuts and the fruit loop covered doughnuts make my inner child smile....guess I'm having doughnuts tomorrow morning! read more

I literally just had to walk out of here. It was so disgusting and very disappointing. As my husband and I walked into the shop and were waiting to be assisted, the much older lady who works here was blowing her nose and had her finger all up in her nostril (with the tissue over that finger). I thought for a second that she was going to go wash her hands. Nope, I thought wrong. She was trying to assist me and my husband. I was NOT going to order and walked out. By far the most unsanitary place I've been to! read more

I love this place! The employees are so nice and the donuts are all so yummy! The donuts here are always fresh and they're priced so fairly. I'm honestly gonna go there before school and work everyday! Sorry Starbucks~ read more

good place to get fresh donuts.sometimes the lady at the counter gives two free donuts too when you buy a dozen.

Came in on a Friday morning around 9 am for National Doughnut Day. Not a long line but pretty busy. The doughnuts are fresh. I had the maple bacon bar and that was soft and still warm. The bacon is still crispy and the saltiness from the bacon was a good contrast to the sweetness from the maple doughnut. I also had a doughnut ice cream sandwich. It was 2 star shaped glazed doughnuts, with cookies and cream ice cream in the middle. That one tasted good also, but probably would have been better if the outside temp was warmer. This is coming from having 2 doughnuts from krispy kreme. They have a variety of doughnuts but what caught my eye was the X-Large doughnut, guessing their novelty/specialty doughnut which require 24 hour advance notice. Did not pay too much attention to it but at glance I remember it costing $20+. I would like to comment most on the customer service. About 3 workers helping the front, each of them willing to help a customer with a smile. If a doughnut was not out there and ready they were willing to make another batch if the customer is willing to wait. When I got my doughnuts and sat down to ate one of the workers was leaving and she took the time to ask how was the doughnut. Although she did not have to those small gestures mean a lot. There was an elderly couple that bought doughnuts and they want to go outside to eat their doughnuts and coffee. The coffee she requested was decaf, which was not ready, but they were willing to make a fresh batch and she was willing to wait. When it was ready she actually went outside to hand deliver to them, again, did not have to but the small things mean a lot. When I was there, there was also a mother and child getting doughnuts and I overheard she just wanted a dozen of one kind of doughnut, but she was curious at looking at another doughnut. One of the workers gave a free small hole doughnut as a sample just to try to see if they would like it. They did not get it at the end but it was nice. When they were about to leave one of the workers noticed the kid and they actually greeted the kid and try to interact with them by offering a hi-five. Again, the small things in customer service matter a lot to me Small shop, but stretched lengthwise. There were about 3 indoor wooden tables, 2 of them can seat 2, one of them could seat 4, with some outside benches and tables but I do not think it is part of the doughnut shop but rather the plaza space. Overall I would definitely come back. Greet customer service and the workers had great attitudes. Not to mention the awesome variety of doughnuts. read more

I was so excited to try the Maple bar with bacon only to be disappointed. I found a piece of hair in the glaze. It just made me want to throw up. read more

Drove 25 miles to get a Texas size donut for my daughters 16th birthday only to find out that I was misinformed on the availability of the donut. I was here just a week before and was told that a 24 hour notice wasn't necessary and that the donut would be available. The employees merely apologized and didn't even offer to make one to have me pick up in a couple hours given the momentous occasion. Insolence. read more

They have a minimum for credit card use which is fine if there was a posted sign and if the bullheaded guy hadn't been so incredibly rude about it, I would have purchased more but before I could decide he snatched the bag back and walked away. He ASSumed I didn't want anything else. Disappointing since I buy dozens for my staff. Will go elsewhere from now on read more

donuts tasted like bad french fries. way too much oil. sign outside said "free donut with coffee purchase " bought coffee, which tasted burnt, and wasn't offered a free donut, even though we bought one. didn't seem very friendly or personable. read more

Came here around 10am and the place already had a line. The shop is very narrow so it can get a little awkward trying to figure out who is actually ahead of you. I ordered a dozen of mixed donuts and a dozen of glazed donut holes. The donut holes were amazing and will keep me coming back. The other donuts have a thicker consistency than other donut shops I've been to but they aren't too bad. The one thing that was a little annoying was that the line was being held up because someone was ordering donuts over the phone and the guy ahead of me couldn't pay yet because their credit card line used the same line as the phone so everyone had to wait until the phone order was complete. read more

I received the best customer service ever here! Every interraction was top notch. Sara went out of her way to work around my schedule. I ordered the 2nd to smallest cake sized donut. It is massive! I was thrilled when I found out it is indeed a real rised donut and not cake. It not only looked incredible but tastes fantastic. I was so impressed I have shown it off to anyone and everyone I encountered on my way home with it. I highly recommend Java Time! read more
