Jolly Pirate is a staple in the Tristate. Of all the donuts we have tried, they remain the best! Our favorites are Devil's Food, Blueberry, Buttermilk, Apple Fritter, Glazed Cream Filled, Iced Cream Filled, and Strawberry Cream Filled. The donuts are flavorful, sugary, and always made perfectly. Whether you're visiting the Tristate or live here, I highly recommend stopping in and enjoying the Jolly Pirate's treasure! read more

I happen to be driving to find a coffee shop to get some coffee when I ran across this place. I stopped in and asked about coffee but they only had basic hot coffee and cappuccino. I'm kind of a coffee snob so I didn't get any coffee but I did ask what their best doughnut was. They said their original glazed is what they are known for. I tried the original glazed and I was impressed. Enough said. read more

The donuts are better than those from Dunkin Donuts by far. I feel they are equal to those found in Kroger. I was hoping to sit at the counter I saw from outside, but the small area was roped off and posted for "employees only". If the signage inside was correct, then their "dozen" is a Baker's Dozen. It was $5.02 for one apple fritter and one large coffee. The coffee was fresh but only mediocre. They do have a drive through. read more

We love jolly pirates donuts we most of the time get 3 dozen.good location ,good prices.

Love it! Fabulous service (the person who helped us has worked there for 15years!) and yummy doughnuts. Just go ahead and order a dozen. By the time you pick out all you want to try you're gonna be two shy of a dozen anyway. So, just do it. Recommend the blueberry cake, buttermilk, honey-dipped, and chocolate frosted but you really can't go wrong with any of them. Enjoy! read more

Jolly Pirate Donuts - A dozen bits of yummy goodness. - Donuts Near Me - Ashland, Kentucky

For nearly 40 years Jolly Pirate Donuts has served the Ashland and Tri-State area communities. I try my best to stop in at least once when I'm visiting my family. I stopped by for a donut before heading to the park to walk off the calories LOL. They were only allowing two customers inside at a time. My friend and I waited until someone came out and then we went in. When you walk in your nose is overwhelmed by the yummy smell. Inside seating was closed however they had a large tent outside with tables and chairs. They also had tape on the floor and did not want anyone near to the counter. The staff were friendly and patient as there were so many donuts choices. I selected my favorite, the Long John, which is a long glazed donut topped with chocolate icing and stuff with white cream. Soooooo yummy! They were out of chocolate milk which was a sign I didn't need it;) My friend ordered a donut and coffee. She said their coffee was super good. I'm already looking forward to my next trip so I can stop in for my favorite donut! read more

I have eaten Jolly Pirate donuts for around 60 yrs. As a child they were a rare treat as we lived 45 minutes away from Ashland, Ky. They were a must when we did make the trip. As an adult they were still looked forward to. Now at 65 yrs old I still stop in for a dozen. Chocolate glazed is my favorite. read more

I live in Ashland and this is the best place to get donuts in the area! Not too busy and really tasty.never really loud inside

Really excellent dounuts. My Cousin brought us some of their dounuts to our hotel today for breakfast. Cream Filled Chocolate Iced...Yummy. Apple Fritter... Yummy. Cinnamon Roll... Yummy. Perfect size chocolate milks. Very fresh soft and fluffy. The Boxes are cute. If you buy a dozen you get a bakers dozen 13. Long long time ago most bakeries did that. Totally a treat to get. Only allowing 2 people at a time inside. I love it when businesses take health seriously. read more

Jolly Pirate Donuts - a woman looking at a display case full of donuts - Donuts Near Me - Ashland, Kentucky

Great place to go and get some donuts. You need to go early though to have a good selection to choose from. They stay open until 5 PM except on Sundays when closed. The selection though late in the afternoon is not good where they are just trying to get rid of today's inventory. The donuts are amazing though and definitely worth the trip. The apple and spice is my absolute favorite and also the toasted coconut. read more

We moved to this area back in April, and yesterday was our first visit to Jolly Pirate. The shop itself is clean and comfortable - nothing fancy, stuffy, fussy, or complicated. The service was a 10+, and I'd like to give a shout out to Jessica for making a phenomenal first impression. After sleeping on it and having a couple donuts for breakfast, there are two things that I can say for certain. #1 I cannot, and I mean CANNOT, believe that it took us seven months to walk through the front door. #2 I cannot, and I mean CANNOT, believe how good these donuts are. We got a dozen assorted - cake and yeast, standard classics, and fancier ones. So far, everything has been amazing. The yeast donuts are light and airy with a little bit of a crispness on the outside while being pilllowy and soft on the inside. The cake donuts are probably the best ones I've had and a have a great texture without being dense. And oh yeah, the donut boxes are so stinking cute. Jolly Pirate also had cookies and some other goodies, so our next visit will mean trying some of those as well. As for the donuts, you get a 13th donut free when you buy a dozen, and while that may seem like a lot of donuts, you'll be surprised how quickly you'll eat them. read more

The best donuts around. Period. Must have tried 6 different kinds and they were all so tasty, I would have come back for lunch and dinner if it was acceptable for my blood sugar levels. Get the Apple fritters or the cake donuts of any kind. Mmmmmmmmmm best. Oh god, the banana cream was to die for as well. Happy hunting!!! read more

Were out driving around. Saw this place. Went on yelp. Good reviews. We stopped in and got 13 donuts which I'd their standard when you buy a dozen. What can I say. They were donuts. Good but not exceptional. May of been better if we had been there when the hot ones are put out. As with most places the staff was helpful and friendly. I will definitely go back when in the area and hopefully be there when the hot ones come out. read more

There's a reason it's a time tested favorite. That little drive thru is life changing! All my donuts were literally amazing! I didn't get her name, but the lady that took and prepared my order was incredibly sweet and upbeat. I told her to surprise me with my free donut. Her choice was better than all the ones I'd picked. I wish they could be open longer or I had one local to me. These are the best donuts. I've been going there my whole life. To be honest, I wish I could go every week. read more

Donuts are wonderful! Have only used drive through so cannot speak on ambience. Service at the window is friendly and quick.

Super friendly service and fresh donuts mid afternoon when I went there two weeks ago. Can't wait to go back!

Use to love this place, but recently bought two dozen of donuts and found a long hair attached to 3 donuts.... Absolutely nasty.

Hadn't been to Jolly Pirate in many months and stopped by one morning this week. Covid has changed the way you enter and order, but the process was clear, efficient, and safe. Same fresh and delicious donuts as ever--best in Ashland!!! read more

If I could, I would give this place 0 stars. We had only been in Ashland for a day. We had just moved here and was told this was the place to go for Donuts. Well, We got into the line to wait for our turn to enter the shop, after we walked through the door, we held it open for someone behind us. We were rudely told to close the door and then one of the workers turned to another and said to her I guess they can't read! She said this loud enough for everyone waiting in line to hear. Completely uncalled for and we will never be returning! read more
