    Vanilla Bean Raised
    Carolina R.

    I had been wanting to try JD since seeing their Instagram. We went on a Friday on a 3-day weekend and there was a line out the door. We waited like 10-15 minutes which wasn't too bad. When we entered there were a lot of donuts shelf's that were empty but it looked like they were making more in the back. They had the flavors we wanted so we ordered the vanilla bean, the dinger, the boysenberry and the blackberry fritter. We loved the boysenberry and the fritter. The flavors were really good. We also ordered an iced latte and it was okay - it was very strong but not in a good way. Overall the services was good and we enjoyed our donuts!

    JD Flannel is my favorite gourmet donut shop! I'm happy that they're expanding as they have another location in Utah. Sadly, I wish they'd open more locations in Orange County closer to me so I can visit more often. :) Donuts here have great texture and tastes amazing. My top three are Blueberry Lemon ($4.75), Buttermilk Old Fashioned ($4.50), and Maple Bacon ($5.75). Service is always friendly and upbeat - which you can always count on when you're here. This is a must try if you like donuts!

    Quite possibly the best donuts I've ever had in my life lol. We've been coming down to SJC for little day trips with the kids and stopped by JD flannel for some donuts on a Saturday morning. There was a short line (~10 min) and while we waited in line, one of the owners offered us shots of coffee and stickers for the kids, which was so nice and awesome! We got 6 donuts and the raised donuts were literally the fluffiest donuts I've ever had and the cake donuts were amazing too! Friendly service and we ate right outside before getting back in the car. Would 1000% come back again and I like it better than Sidecar (I said what I said) :)

    Looks like I'm not the only one who has posted repeat reviews, addendums, or reiterated praise. I'm in along with frequent donut flyers who are reeled in to JD's in SJC. From fly fishing and flannel to delectably delicious donuts, these two guys have us hooked. Why? And donuts ?? Go. When you go, you'll know. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I see a crowd and a line, I want to be queued in! Especially when it's an eatery that's no more than maybe 20 feet across.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Like a foodie lemming, dive in to these small batch, freshly-made gems that are non-pariel in the donut industry. Go. You'll know. Eat. You'll repeat.

    I'm always on the hunt for the best donut around, and after seeing that JD Flannel's was rated one of the top donut shops in Orange County, I had to check it out. We stopped by on a Friday morning to grab a few donuts, and the experience was great from the start. The workers were fun, energetic, and super helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice clean and modern shop with a wall of donuts[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We couldn't decide what to order, but another customer told us we *had* to try the apple fritter and wow, they were right. That apple fritter was SO good, fresh, warm, perfectly soft, and not overly sweet. Honestly, perfection. We grabbed a few other donuts too, and while most were great, one tasted like it may have been sitting out a bit longer and wasn't nearly as good. So my advice: go early and get them fresh because that's when these donuts really shine. If you're in the area and craving fresh donuts, definitely check them out!

    The boxes are the cutest.

    Donuts are phenomenal- even the gluten friendly options! And the staff are so nice and patient. I'd leave a pic of the donuts but we ate them too quickly.

    Chocolate donut

    Hmmmmmm delicious fresh batch boysenberry, chocolate and maple bacon donuts. It melts in your mouth. Best serve with hot coffee.

    Alexis T.

    First timer! Lots of parking. Very quick service and super friendly staff. Every donut we had was delicious! Probably my new favorite spot now. What we ordered: Boysenberry Blueberry lemon Chocolate Vanilla bean Lemon custard Brown butter sea salt Til next time!

    Bella H.

    Truly the best donuts I've ever had in my entire life, I got the maple and my husband got the chocolate. We definitely need to come back to try all of them. It was so fluffy and fresh, and the owner is so nice.

    Gf Carrot Cake, Gf Brown Butter Sea Salt, and Chocolate Ganache Raised donut.
    Maria B.

    The gluten free donuts here are unmatched. My favorite is the brown butter & sea salt, but I really can't complain about any of the gf flavors I've tried. They are always super soft, fresh, and taste amazing. If you need a beverage with your donut, I recommend their vanilla latte. It gives you your caffeine fix without being too sweet. It's always busy, and sometimes there's a line, but it always moves quickly. The owner is always there saying hello and chatting with customers, and the staff is always extremely friendly. Grab your donut, sit outside on the patio, and enjoy!

    This place was awesome. I've heard from others that this place possibly has the best donuts in the OC, even better than the well known sidecar donuts all the way at cosa mesa. Upon walking in, I knew the donuts were going to hit. They were all gourmet donuts so don't expect the pink box type of donut shop. I opted for the chocolate cream (highly recommend) and my friends ordered the butter sea salt, boysenberry, and banana caramel. Overall, they were all great. The dough compared to other donut shops were more fluffy, like almost croissant-like. The staff were really helpful with questions and the service was impeccable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a pretty small shop with no seating inside, however there was plenty of seating outside so you can just grab your donuts and enjoy them right there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Jeremy S.

    Really top tier donut shop in SJC! I know some compare it to sidecar and I can see why. Ended up ordering three donuts, all were great but the boysenberry and blueberry really stood out to me. The donuts are the right mix of fluffy which a good crisp and the flavor was amazing. The staff was really nice throughout as well. Hope to be back to try more amazing flavors.

    Alisha S.

    this has got to be the best donut spot in OC! I tried the vanilla bean and brown butter sea salt, and they were both amazing. cant wait to come back

    Hi Annie - Our gluten-friendly donuts do contain eggs and dairy. However, we typically offer a gluten-friendly vegan option as well. This month, our gluten-friendly vegan donut is a pumpkin spice donut. Please let me know if we can provide you… 

    Are they nut-free?

    Hi Tina - All of our donuts are nut free with the exception of our vegan donuts which have cashew cream as an ingredient. Our vegan donuts are made Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only and are made on separate, clean surfaces. Please let me know if…

    Yes we do! We have oat milk for your coffee or tea.

The current restaurant has been open since 1995 so it's a true piece of California history. One thing I love about this place is that it feels like you're eating in a garden next to a cottage. It's very homely and also service was fantastic. Everything that we ordered came out very fast and was extremely tasty. Most of the tables are outdoor so it's really nice to sit under the trees and hear the trains go by and just really enjoy a great brunch. They have a small and big plate option and you're supposed to order one from each category for just under $50. It's a lot of food so you will not leave hungry. For my breakfast, I started off with the Tomato Bisque and Grilled Cheese Sandwich, which was a great start to the meal. I'm a huge soup and sandwich fan and was probably the first time I've ever done that at brunch. For my big plate, I chose the Huevo Rancheros and really enjoyed it. I wish the meat would have been chorizo, but the sausage was also nice. I would highly recommend both dishes and this restaurant in general to anyone.

Stopped by here exploring San Juan Capistrano area en route to SD for Memorial day wknd. Just walked around the alley and saw a strip of cool old craftsman style homes converted to restaurants.

You can tell that the AMs that place will be packed. Food was so good and hit the spot.

It's a really sweet spot to spend some time enjoying pretty good food. We had fish tacos, tuna tostada, farm salad, orange olive oil cake, and the cold brew. Fish tacos-pretty good but a little short on seasoning, fish was fresh and perfectly cooked, served with cabbage slaw, thick tortillas, and avocado crema. Flavors were just a little bland and it needed some hot sauce or better seasoning to bring it up a notch. Tuna tostadas get high marks. Farm salad was nicely dressed with a tasty vinaigrette, replete with tasty and crunchy croutons on the bottom, delicious crisp fresh lettuces. Portions are not large here and you get exactly what you order, there are no extras on the plate. So if you're hungry, you probably want at least 2 of the entrees. For lighter eaters like myself, splitting two dishes was just right. Iced coffee-meh, I'll skip it next time. Service was fast and friendly. The food is fresh and tastes home cooked, no Sysco truck vibes here. If everything came out perfect, I would have given it five stars. They just need to work on the details a bit and it can hit five stars. I'll definitely be going back to see if consistency is there, and if they can maybe improve the flavors a bit.
