Anytime I'm taking one of my parents to Kaiser, or the DMV, we have to include a trip to Royal Jelly Donuts. The employees are always in a good mood, and are very generous with the orders. I typically get my orders to go, but the few times I've stayed around, the space is pretty tranquil and quiet. The quality of the donuts are probably the best in town; definitely worth a visit. read more

We went to Royal Jelly Donuts recently. The man was very friendly. We got a dozen donuts, and they were all very delicious. We'll definitely be back! read more

I hate to say this because I was seriously in love with the apple fritters. Unfortunately, the only time to get them fresh is first thing in the morning. I stopped by the store before closing and grabbed an apple and a blueberry fritter. A couple of hours later, my stomach just couldn't handle it. I'm not sure if I got a bad or old batch, but I ended up throwing one away because just smelling or looking at it made me nauseous. I hadn't eaten anything before or after, so it was pretty easy to tell what caused the problem. That being said, it'll probably be a while before I order fritters again. read more

My favorite spot to grab donuts in this side of town! The owners are always very sweet and welcoming and their donuts are always fresh and good!! read more

Nice people running the shop but so disappointed that the bear claws are filled with apple filling!! Kind of pricey too.

Donuts are always fresh and they don't cost an arm and leg for it the customer service A1

Stopped by Royal Jelly Donuts late & was surprised by the decent selection! Donuts still tasted fresh & delicious

When I asked for a Bavarian chocolate bar, they gave it to me. I asked for a Bavarian maple bar they gave it to me got home and they had no Bavarian cream in the center called them and explain the situation and they said oh we never put the Bavarian cream in the chocolate bars or the maple bar in the past, I do remember buying them with the Bavarian cream in them they said no never so I paid for what I thought was Bavarian cream donuts, and received a plain chocolate donut and a plain doughnut. No, not donuts bars always thoroughly disappointed. read more

Royal Jelly Donuts has the best donuts in Vallejo. They have two locations, but this one is where the donuts are made, so they're usually the best variety and freshness here. They have amazing apple fritters, crumb donuts, and all the classics. Always friendly service. read more

Yummy and fresh. The only way they could be better is if they were still warm but not at 3 pm. That blueberry fritter is delightful and very big... easily big enough for 2. Ample parking, and convenient location. read more

Donuts in Vallejo! Doesn't disappoint and does it's job in satisfying the donut cravings! The lady who helped us was extremely friendly and the shop was very clean. They have a wide variety of donuts and we got there later in the morning and they were still stocked with donuts which was nice. I got a sugar donut and a few donut holes. They were tasty! The sugar donut definitely hit the spot. It's awesome to know that there's a great donut shop in Vallejo! read more

Royal Jelly Donuts - a display case full of donuts - Donuts Near Me - Vallejo, California

Old, nasty and oily. And the aftertaste made me nearly vomit. I should have known better. Sigh. What's with this town??

This is the best donut place I've found in Vallejo so far. It's literally impossible to find a good fluffy cake donut and this store nailed it. 10/10 would recommend! read more

All good I just wish they took digital payments or cards. I hate carrying cash it would be more convenient

First time going here, got 4 cake donuts. Each donut tasted like they were more than a day old. She could have at least told me that they were old. I Will not be returning here read more

This donut shop has been in town for a long time. The service and donuts are great. The ambiance is chill with plenty of seating.

A regular visit on the weekends while running errands. Nice local donut shop in Vallejo. Always friendly service and easy to order. Nice place read more

Was craving a roadtrip donut, and this popped up as the closest to where we were at the time. The donuts are good, its standard mom and pop donuts. My favorites were the old fashion donuts. Also, don't trust yelp. They don't take card. Luckily we had cash. Also, they didn't have milk. What kind of donut shop doesn't sell milk? That should be a crime read more

Great local donut shop with a variety of items to choose from. Always fresh and service is quick.

Growing up in Vallejo, Royal Jelly Donuts have been part of those go-to businesses. They have quality donuts. I went there late afternoon on Mother's Day. I was craving a chocolate donut. I was expecting a low count of donuts since it was 2 hours from closing. I was wrong. Their trays were completely full of all kind of selection: chocolate, sugar, glaze, maple, etc. I'm not sure if they consistently have this large of a selection every Sunday late afternoon, but at that time they did. read more

Royal Jelly is your typical no-frills local donut shop and it always hits the spot. Note that it is CASH ONLY. Love the assortment of fresh donuts -- from the raspberry filled donuts, glazed twists, clear glaze, maple bars, you can't go wrong. The texture is so soft and pillowy, and I love how they're not too sweet either. The lady that helped us behind the counter was very nice and friendly. Great service, and even greater donuts! read more

I love this donut shop for the following reasons: Always fresh. They make donuts all the time. Usually the cases have a great assortment. Cake, yeast filled, fritters, cinnamon rolls, bear claws. So many choices. I've never picked one I didn't like. My fav: Apple fritter, large cinnamon roll, coconut cake, chocolate old fashioned , twist, cake with sprinkles, Boston cream, blueberry jelly Great price. Cash only. Usually get a dozen for $20-$25. Krispy was $40 and it was crap. They are open late. I think until 8. Reminds me of my fav donut shops in LA. I think the best donuts are made at night. Family owned. So many family members working to support the business. read more

Donuts make me want to change the letters in the alphabet to "U and I" thats how i feel about these donuts . There are all kinds to choose from my favorite is the pink donut. I loved the friendly service in this donut shop the cashier was so kind and friendly she also gave me 2 free donuts since it was my first time buying donuts there . I will definitely return to get some coffee and donuts. read more

The donuts here are good. A large selection to pick from late in the evening. The donuts were fresh and fluffy. The lady that works here was really nice and even threw a free donut or two in the bag. read more

I was shocked by their customer service. I came to the store yesterday, met a lady (owner), said I need 2 boxes, she YELLED at me "Bag" not "Box", I was shocked. I repated it I need 2 boxes, then she said 1 box is 12 donuts (with an impatient face). Then I yes "I need a box not a bag". Then she blamed me for not saying clearly - what a joke. Since I was in rush, only had 30mins to get donuts (as a gift) for an office, I had to swallow her worse customer service ever. read more

Only form of payment is cash?? It's 2023. Please that's unacceptable. There is no sign posted that says so. Ridiculous.

Cash only. I love this donut shop. It's run by hardworking mom & pop and they always keep their oil fresh and change it frequently. Nobody wants donuts fried in old oil and then you get that funky aftertaste in your mouth. I'm a classic kind of gal so I always get the regular glazed, chocolate glazed, cinnamon, old fashioned and donut holes. My friends love the fruit jam filled ones and the buttermilk. Basically all the donuts are delicious and fresh ! Support this local shop!! read more

I'm known Mr Ou for decades from his previous locations. The lower Tuolumne St spot is his newest, cleanest and freshest place. Everything from Blueberry Fritters to Chocolate Buttermilks. Ou has them in stock. Best donuts, bar none. Trust me I'm a policeman, I should know!!! read more

Royal Jelly Donuts got the best donuts. They always have and always will be the best donut spot. From their regular glazed & sugared to their cake donuts - yum! I miss their Springs Rd location. I enjoy their donuts way more than Krispy Kreme. read more

Donuts are fresh if you arrive early. That have a Hot Ham and Cheese sandwich not on the menu.

Location is nice and the facility was clean and very organized with various of doughnuts and coffees to choose from. However there were a few cons in which I deducted stars. I asked the rep if they sell cinnamon rolls and she said yes and pointed to two options. One original and a roll with chocolate. I selected the chocolate cinnamon roll. The roll had no cinnamon and I did not taste any chocolate. As for the coffee, the creamer is horrible and she told me she doesn't have any milk to offer. No milk, but you are serving coffee?!?! How can this be?!?! Also, the coffee isn't great. I won't be returning, but I would recommend to others. This establishment just wasn't for me. read more

I really this place. The neighborhood seems a little rough but otherwise, I come here often. Their buttermilk donuts are the best. The cinnamon rolls, apple fritters and old fashioned donuts are also good. We love their coffee here. The staff is always friendly and sometimes thank us three or four times for coming. read more

this Royal Jelly Donuts spot has the largest sitdown area i've even seen for a donut shop, 2 storefronts full. lots of donuts too. saw metropolian brand coffee. informed former name Superior, so passed. eats: french crueller 2/2.17 (tax charged) -first time charged tax on donuts. -lots of donuts on display -french crueller mushy, minimum one day old.... -chocolate taste strong, very sweet. crumbs: -noticed 3 Royal Jelly shops in Vallejo wandering if each one makes donuts in-house *doubtful, one is proabably bake center for all three... read more

They only accept cash, which is super inconvenient unless you're a cave man. Try Vallejos Great Donuts, you won't regret it. I was a fan of Royal Jelly... but I've since switched! read more

I love this place! I come here every chance I get. Very clean, the owners are so nice, and their donuts are just crazy good. It made me happy to see people in line to get their donuts this morning and a mom and her daughter pulling up to get theirs. read more

1st time I came, Great donuts, nice people - but Cash Only? There's not a bank nearby so the 2nd time I came, I forgot my cash and ended up at Vallejo Great Donuts where they accept debit/credit cards. Just so easy for some of us that carry enough cash for tips, but not enough for a dozen donuts, coffee, a maple bar, and a dozen donut holes. ‍ just saying. And did end up tipping the cashier at the other place $4. Coz well, that's all the cash I had wit read more

Your donuts have always been 1st class until now till now you have the youngsters doing the business makin the business making the donuts and your donuts have gone way down I've been coming to you for 30 years and your donuts are lousy at this point someone needs to go and teach these kids how to make donuts the right way read more

When I arrived there was an older lady putting boxes together. She admittedly greeted me when I entered " Good morning". I purchased a medium coffee (no small available, it was ok not strong at all)one butter doughnut (very good, my fav) and a crumb doughnut ( which was food but different, it's like a glaze but with good crumbs). The lady was really nice, we talked about current events and she gave me some good advise. My total was $6.56 and she through in a doughnut whole which was good and most. Sorry I'll post a pic next time, I thought about the review after so you know the doughnuts were good lol read more

Have been disappointed in local pastry selections until now. Absolutely fabulous, fresh and delicious doughnuts await before or after I get off work. Nice folks, will be a regular from here out. read more

If I could give it no stars I would! Took the babies to get donuts today, drove across town to the Royal Jelly donut shop between Florida and Tennessee St. Babies were fussing by time we got there, so before getting them out of their car seats my daughter got out to make sure there were still donuts since we were there closer to lunch than breakfast. She came back to the car and said there was a note on the door saying they'd be back in 5 minutes. The door sign still said OPEN we assumed maybe the employee was in the restroom or something. Tried to get the babies distracted with our phones and singing and stuff but the 5 min became 10 and still no employee. Fussiness became full on SCREAMING around the 15 min mark and we debated leaving but the note definitely said 5 minutes and we had already waited sooo long plus the babies were counting on sprinkled donuts.... other customers had came and were waiting as well while others left after finding out the 5 min note had expired 5x over! I tried calling but got no answer. At 30 mins I started looking for a pen and paper to write them a nasty note for having people wait under the pretense that they'd be returning when they weren't. Found a paper and eyeliner (yeah I knoooow- I used what I had!) and wrote a quick note saying how we had waited when a van pulled up onto the sidewalk. I asked if they were the donut shop people and they said yeah- I said "you shouldn't say you'll be back in 5 min if you aren't going to be" the man said "we were coming back" I said "well don't put 5 MINUTES then, we've been out here for over 30 minutes" my 1 year old had cried hisself to sleep, and 2 year old was still asking for her damn sprinkled donut! The people offered no apologies or anything. I went to get back in the car, mad and not wanting to patronize their establishment any longer- when I turned around and went inside to grab 1 donut for my 2 year old since she had to wait for sooo long and heard the lady said something about the parking lot. She was looking at me so I assumed she must have been speaking to me, I said I didn't know what she was saying (1. she has an accent and 2. she was wearing a mask) - she started raising her voice and having an attitude. I said "I still don't know what you are saying but what I am saying is please don't leave notes on the door so customers wait for you and you don't come back til whenever- that's not fair!" the woman still had an attitude and never offered an apology nor asked if I wanted to order. Left to deal with crying 2 year old to find sprinkled donuts somewhere else. read more
