Still my go-to doughnut shop when I'm driving through this side of the Bay Area. I went after lunch and a lot of my faves were already gone! *sad face* So plan wisely if you're trying to get, let's say, a Crodough (a must try!). But that's okay because I still walked away with my number one fave -- Chocolate Salted Old Fashioned! And an Apple fritter for my sister. I am such a big fan of the flavors (seasonal and not), the texture of their dough and of course, how yummy every doughnut (I've tried) is! Be back soon! read more

First of all the girl helping us was so kind and pretty ! Secondly the donuts were so delish ! The old fashioned maple was one of the best I've had in a while and I'm not even a donut person but I had a sweet tooth after dinner as always . The cold brew was strongggggg absolutely loved it . I love the outdoor seating which was perfect as the weather was so beautiful . read more

Excellent place with great customer service. A great selection of creative pastry. Will pick these up for work often!

I'm not going to lie... I don't buy the hype around this place. They try to be hip and retro at the same time, but nothing else about the place fits that description. The doughnuts are far from the classic, light, fluffy doughnut you had as a child. They've completely missed the ball on what constitutes a great doughnut. These things are cakey, heavy as heck, and will have your stomach hurting before you can even get through half. The toppings (frosting, etc) are skimpy and more for decoration and eye-appeal than anything else. There is zero difference between eating one of these things fresh or stale... it's all the same experience. And the best part is -- they're $8 a pop! Save your money and save yourself a stomach ache -- skip Johnny Doughnuts and go quite literally anywhere else. read more

Got a blueberry muffin here and it was delicious! It's a small spot hidden in Marin and the desserts here were good! I liked how they were playing rock/ pop/ casual music! It was outdoor so it was nice to get some fresh air Service: friendly and nice read more

Modern and pricey donut shop. A large selection of gourmet donuts, while good, will likely not be going out of my way to return. The design/layout of the shop is pretty charming, but I don't see the quality/taste of these donuts to be significantly better compared to Krispy Kreme. read more

Stale , dry, overpriced. If you are going to sell doughnuts put a little effort in. Bob's by no means the gold standard but at least they are not insanely dry. Just bc you have a good location doesn't mean you put no effort into your product. Just being honest here. read more

I'm hardly ever in the area, but I might be coming back! We asked if the donuts contained any nuts and I was pleasantly surprised that it was a nut free doughnut place! Love this! We have allergies in the family's I didn't get any seasonal flavors nor did I catch the cronut but my options were solid! We got the apple fritter, dulce de leche, salted caramel chocolate and French toast. I just love the texture of the doughnuts, it's crisp and doughy at the same time! We'll definitely be coming back. read more

This place has some decent donuts but I feel they are overpriced for what you get. The service is usually good but doesn't justify their prices. read more

Ive been raving about Johnny' for YEARS. They dont mail order and I dont live in Cali any more. I was in town and drove over on Saturday before my flight. I got a dozen Crodoughs to go. No other place comes close to this recipe. Ansel should consider buying them out-just kidding. Years and they are still the best. The cashier didnt know what iced coffee was and I explained -just ice and coffee. I couldnt let the blank stare ruin a transatlantic moment so i bought a cold brew. read more

I wanted to really like this place, but it just missed the mark on freshness. Price point for a single doughnut was $3.75 + $1 tip. Employees were super nice, storefront hip, with a few kitschy cool name for doughnuts "Sugar Daddy" for the sugar doughnut. Thickness was generous, but too dry - 1-2 days old? I would like to give it a try again. Hope to have a different experience next time around. read more

I first tried Johnny Doughnuts years ago, but thought their donuts were too dense. However, they have so many different flavors/types of donuts, I decided to give some other donuts a try, especially since I was already in this plaza. They were busy but there was only a short line at 1:30pm on a Saturday. There was still a huge variety of donuts available, and it didn't seem like they had sold out of anything yet. I tried: [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=zzkuVxZSHqid4ntbXu-p-A&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg -Cinnamon Sugar Crodough ($4.75): Good, but not great. This actually had a vanilla custard filling, and that was solid, but the actual crodough was more chewy than buttery/flaky. This was worth trying, but I wouldn't order this again. -Fritter Thang (w/Blueberries, $4.50): I didn't realize this was gluten free until after I had ordered it. I was excited since this looked like it could be a great fritter, with a super crispy exterior; however, it was way too dense. I also didn't like the intense flavor of the different spices they used (nutmeg, cloves, and/or cinnamon?)- skip! -Sweet Potato Glazed ($3.75): This was a solid donut, but slightly dry in the middle. I liked the subtle sweet potato flavor, but it needed a little more glaze/sweetness. Unfortunately, there weren't any donuts that I fell in love with during this visit. However, there are still many more flavors to try, and I would come back if in the area (especially for the tropical fruit filled donuts). I also want to give their coffees a try, since they have unique drinks such as the brown butter latte. There are a few tables available for outdoor seating, but no indoor seating is available since they just have counter/window for you to order from. There was plenty of parking available in this plaza, since there were a lot of spots. read more

Johnny Doughnuts - Cinnamon Sugar Croudough ($4.75)- 3/5 stars, Fritter Thang (w/Blueberries- 2/5 stars, $4.50), Sweet Potato Glazed ($3.75)- 3.5/5 stars - Donuts Near Me - Larkspur, California

3 stars because every employee has masks and gloves on. 1 star for the vegan mocha that tasted like hot milk, and the maple old fashioned that tasted like pumpkin spice that had just the right crispy crunch when I bit in to it. I got a lime poppy seed that left a lot to be desired. That maple old fashioned was delicious!!!! Thank you to the staff, managers and owners for helping stop the spread of any virus with these great food handling practices. read more

WHEN: Tuesday @5pm The first time I came here was a few years ago, and I can't say I remember much of it and I feel I need to give it another try. I was afraid there wouldn't be much doughnuts left at this hour (one hour before closing), but I'm glad there were a good amount left! With it being located at Larkspur Landing, there was plenty of free parking. This establishment didn't have an indoor dine-in area, but there are a couple of tables and benches right in front. There's more throughout this entire shopping center. Anyway here's what I had: CLASSIC OLD FASHIONED - $4 Okay I didn't know there were 2 kinds of old fashioned donuts: Classic and Cake. The Classic has seasonings like nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon in the dough, this cake-like doughnut's 1920s recipe has just enough crunch on the outside and moistness in the middle to make you wonder how you ever lived without it. I chose the Maple flavored one and it tasted like the holidays. I love old fashioned and didn't expect all the spices, but I also don't mind it. Next time I'll know to get the Cake one. ROASTED SWEET POTATO (Vegan) - $4 With texture similar to our classic raised doughnuts, our vegan recipe calls for roasted sweet potatoes. It's then topped with a vegan Vanilla. This was a bit more dense than the usual braised doughnut, which to me tasted kind of like dry cake. I did enjoy the subtle sweet potato taste. Had I know this was vegan I would have not ordered it actually...but it wasn't bad! CRODOUGH - $4.75 Thi flakey, butter laminated dough lives on the happy border between a doughnut and croissant. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, filled with a vanilla pastry cream, which I did not expect! An instant favorite, and there was a generous amount of pastry cream, despite the whole in it! Now I know to to try if I ever come to Shake Shack before 6pm, I must make a stop here for a donut--I mean doughnut. read more

Really tasty donuts, but a steep price to cover them. I got half a dozen donuts and the total before tip was $22. The donuts are really good, but I'm not sure they are worth almost $4 a pop. Maybe I'm old school, but a dozen should be $22 or less, not a half dozen. The easy to access location is nice. They have plenty of seating, albeit all out door. The staff was nice and courteous, and quick to help. read more

I went to Johnny Doughnuts last month when I was in the Larkspur area. I took an early morning SoulCycle class and this place is located in the same plaza. Johnny Doughnuts is a walk-up shop. They have a few picnic benches outside where you can enjoy your food. I got one of their blueberry cake donuts and an espresso. The donut was good but extremely sweet, I was only able to eat about half of it and I saved the rest for the next day. Cute modern donut shop, if I lived closer here I'd be coming back regularly. read more

Spent a few hours at Marin Country Mart - and stopped by Johnny Doughnuts to appease my sweet tooth! I asked the person working if I wanted the maple bar or the vegan rosemary lime donut - and they pointed me towards the maple bar. These definitely err on the side of a more traditional doughnut - so the dough itself it slightly dry. However, the maple frosting was scrumptious. read more

The vegan sweet potato donut was fantastic. Not sure why this place isn't rated higher. Yes, they are $5 each but they are quite large for donuts. They are sweet, but so is almost every other good donut I have had. These were light with good flavor and vegan! Finding vegan donuts is hard enough let alone finding vegan donuts that actually taste good. Will happily return. read more

I love my doughnuts and was thrilled when we took a day trip to Marin County! I've been to the San Rafael location and love all the offerings I've tried, especially the crodough! Even more important for us is that this place is a peanut free bakery... in fact it's a total nut free bakery and they even have wheat free and vegan donuts as well! Awesome! The doughnuts are top notch and they have some unique flavors as well as beloved classics. For this trip we got a chocolate crodough, blueberry, and an apple pie bismark. All were delicious but hands down my favorite was the chocolate crodough! Chewy, flaky, rich chocolate, cinnamon sugar crunch... doughnut bliss for sure! I can't wait to be back in the area! Definitely not your cheapest donuts but I'll say you get what you pay for. read more

Had a raised doughnut, which contains potato--gives the doughnut a unique texture. While I prefer the traditional yeast doughnut, it was definitely tasty! Store is modern, clean and they serve obligatory good coffee to go with. Price is consistent with locale! read more

This is an excellent donut shop with lots to choose from. They serve gourmet style donuts with premium quality ingredients. I love their display on the window and even a person cooking up the donuts at the front window! My wife and I enjoyed their maple spice old fashioned and chocolate old fashioned. I should warn you that these donuts are thick, cakey, and pretty big in size so be prepared. I recommend buying 2 and trying a half of each; a full half already got me full. Donuts are about $5 but totally worth the price. read more

JD in Larkspur is such a treat! The doughnuts are dense and top quality! The location is similar to a drive-in which adds to the character of the shop! The staff were very welcoming, in addition to the fantastic menu items! My favorite Crodough does have a surprise in the middle in the form of custard filling. Coffee and espresso beverages are just ok, but there's a coffee chain a few steps away. I'm also glad they spell "doughnuts" correctly lol read more

(Customer experience during Covid-19 Pandemic) The Johnny Doughnuts brick and mortar in Larkspur's Marin Country Mart is conveniently located with easy parking. We ordered at their walk up window and got what I consider basic: an old-fashioned vanilla doughnut and a cup of coffee. I originally wanted to try their crodough but they come filled only, and I didn't want a filled doughnut. First of all, they are exponentially better than your average doughnut shop. Our doughnut was warm and fresh, the crumb was very soft and delicious. The glaze was just right, not too much to overpower, and complemented the cakey goodness. The coffee was good, better than expected. They have outdoor seating available. The staff is friendly, courteous and PATIENT especially when I couldn't make up my mind and ended up deferring to what my husband wanted. Highly recommended. Yeah, it's a little bit pricey but worth it. Looking forward to coming back again for a sweet treat. read more

Johnny Doughnuts - Vanilla old-fashioned doughnut and coffee - Donuts Near Me - Larkspur, California

was walking around marin county mart when we passed a couple with doughnuts in hand - we immediately walked towards the direction in which they were coming from - the doughnuts looked delicious! you order to the right window of the establishment, where they also display their available flavors. they were unfortunately sold out of their old-fashioned, but we settled on a vanilla roaming zebra & raspberry jam bismark. pick-up and payment is at the left window. $10 for two doughnuts caught me by surprise, but they are fairly large. the vanilla roaming zebra was alright - it's just a glazed doughnut with chocolate drizzle. i did enjoy the raspberry jam bismark; it's not too sweet, tart, and has a good amount of filling. doughnuts are denser than your average! read more

Their glazed donuts are the best ever. I am mostly gf, but when I come here idgaf. Line them up, I'm gonna eat as many as I can. The donuts are large, with a slightly firmer texture than average, perfectly glazed. I live in Ohio, If I had my own jet, I would be headed there right now. Northern California in Marin county is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Made even more beautiful by Johnny Doughnut. read more

Food 5/5 I got the regular glazed doughnut for togo thinking it would just be another 7-11/safeway/wholefoods kind of donut. Basically the ones where it's just airy and dry on the inside. It wasn't. It was fluffy, moist, some chewiness, and dense on the inside. Definitely worth trying it. read more

I've tried Johnny Doughnuts in SF and it's a pretty solid treat for when you just want something yummy and fluffy asap. My friends and I stopped at this outlet in Larkspur and decided to get a donut -- we got there right as they were closing. I saw the people behind the counter sliding the donuts off the trays into a trash can. 50+ leftover donuts from the day were being thrown away. We knocked and signalled from the takeout window (that was closed) that we would like to buy the donuts so we can give them away to someone who might enjoy or need them. The people at the counter just ignored us for 5 minutes straight, and sniggered to themselves inside. One of them opened the window an inch and asked us to leave, saying that they won't sell us the donuts. We were all just really upset by the amount of food waste that they were generating. It was 6:01pm and the shop closes at 6! Please, please, please consider giving this food to someone in need. There are PLENTY people who would have eaten these still-fresh donuts that you were throwing in the trash. read more
