    Dozen random donuts
    Leon U.

    Good donuts. I think they are worth the stop if your on I-5 and have a sweet tooth. Recommend the blueberry fritters.

    My new favorite doughnut :)

    For someone who has traveled alot and tried different doughnuts from across the country and even in international travel, this was some of the best tasting donughts, light and fluffy as they should be and rated as my favorite now :) will stop by every time when traveling through the area :)

    Randomly saw the Happy Donuts sign on a road trip, stopped to take a chance and now a car full of happy kids. The sweetest people and the cutest interior. As amazing as those two things were, they don't come close to how amazing the donuts were. The donut holes were like mini honey buns. The glazed donuts were perfection. The cinnamon roll was to die for. And they have a drive through. Perfection.

    Yes, all 5 stars! How's the coffee you ask? Flavorless, but what's your point?!?! You didn't come here for coffee. You weren't born yesterday. My travel buddy said he heard L.A. was the world's donut capital. Right! And it never rains in Hilo. The folks at The Happy Donut know their stuff. They know that lovely critter in the case is a "Bismarck", not a "jelly filled donut." And believe you me little sister, they know how to make 'em. My podnah, Doug had a bear claw. He didn't comment until it was too late to share. Doug's no fool. The coffee was hot and vaguely brown in appearance, but the donuts .. mercy! Picture of coffee cup attached, no Bismarck photos available, but you knew that. THD! THD! THD!!!!

    Awesome food, the biscuit and cheese was so good after taking on the 1 pound apple fritter challenge. The service was awesome and the customers were so cool during the challenge, especially the two little kids. Really good donut holes too, highly recommend for the good customer service, good family atmosphere, and good food!!!

    Stopped here yesterday and bought a box of donuts. The donuts were truly wonderful. Would have given 5 stars, but did not try the coffee so not able to verify how good it is. The donuts hold up very well. The next morning they were still very good, especially the apple fritters. The people here are super friendly. Enjoyed our stop. Very easy on/off the freeway, makes for a great short stop!

    This place was an unexpected delight. It's a legit old style doughnut shop. They also have a drive through. My favorite doughnut is maple bar, when I asked if they had any she replied "of course and its maple bar Monday so its buy one, get one free". She also gave a hole to our dog in the back seat. And it didn't disappoint, great quality doughnut. We will be stopping here again on our next roadtrip. Doughts = delish Service = exceptional Price = unbeatable (2.50 for 2 doughnuts and 2 cooffees)

    Their big feet donuts are huge They have pine cones which are a new take on cinnamon rolls

    OMG! Stopped in The Jelly Donut after driving through Grants Pass on my way back to Lacey, WA from…read moreLas Vegas, NV. Was looking for a place to get out of my car to stretch my legs. God had a plan...Visit The Jelly Donut! I walked in to this smaller, unassuming shop and quickly realized this place is for real! The fresh assortment of baked goods was impressive, and the baking racks made it clear they bake fresh on-site. I was tempted by the usual suspects, like the cream-filled eclairs, but the super-sized apple fritter caught my eye, so I jumped on it. Thinking this measly $4 investment would sustain me for many miles of travail, I gobbled it down within a few blocks of the shop. AMAZING! Highly recommend The Jelly Donut! I'll be stopping here the next time I drive through the neighborhood!

    My dad, mom and the whole family absolutely love the custard filled maple bars they make…read more But I went there on Monday and they only had 1. She refused to make any more when I asked. Went today, Wednesday at 7:30am they had about 20 bacon and maple(yuk) but not a single filled maple. I asked him to make some and he said that nobody made the custard. It's pretty typical that the younger employees won't do anything more than the minimum here It's a waste of time driving to this place from Merlin even though the donuts are pretty good!
