    Turkey croissant sandwich
    Edrees A.

    Anytime I'm in the mood of a donut or a croissant sandwich the Jelly Donut is the place I go to. The service is great! The donuts are fresh and the turkey croissant sandwich is great! If you're looking for some good donuts or a sandwich I highly recommend the Jelly Donut. Anytime I order a sandwich they throw in a donut with it which is nice and I've always had a positive experience there.

    Sometimes I just feel like having a good donut and I like to go to a place where it's a guarantee that the donuts are going to be good. Still giving us fresh, great tasting donuts in 2025 is The Jelly Donut! When I was growing up in Carson back in the 80's, we had this donut shop that was inside of the Boy's Market Grocery Store. You could stand outside of the walk up window and watch them being made and get them as soon as they came up out of the grease. This place gives me those nostalgic vibes and they are always so kind here, I am sure it is not just me but they always give me an extra donut or two with my order. Service with a smile and an extra good and sweet bite, you can't ask for more than that and you can't go wrong here. The only thing is, they only accept cash payments, so make you sure you stop at the ATM or bank before dropping by.

    The ham, egg and cheese croissant is a breakfast essential. Donuts are great too. Staff are friendly. Stop by if you are in the area.

    Now I know what all these people are talking about this lovely Blinkie's donuts and the shop…read more Lately, I have been having a lot of sweet cravings. No, I am NOT pregnant. :-) just cravings like most people have. Walked in this morning around 10am & was greeted by couple of employees. Both very nice, sweet, helpful and kind. They have so many different donuts, croissants, sandwiches, hot and cold coffee, espresso, latte, bottled drinks and more.. They have an indoor and outdoor seating and the place is super cute and very clean, chill and you get what you pay for. I got a dozen donuts from them and tried one on my way home and it was just decadent, fresh, fluffy and the frosting isn't overly sweet. Has parking and a restroom for their customers! Will definitely return next time I am in the Encino area. Established back in 1960 & Winnie/the owner of the place took over ownership in February of 2023. Give this donut shop a try and you will be very satisfied!!:-))

The next morning, I opened the box and realized how small the donuts really are for the price. Compared to Randy's Donuts, there's really no comparison. Further, they become a bit hard. There's also another donut shop south of the boulevard on Topanga Canyon (I believe around 4872 Topanga Canyon Blvd) that does an excellent job. If you go too late, they're usually sold out -- which says a lot. Sometimes driving a little farther for better quality, larger donuts, and fair prices is absolutely worth the trip.

Donuts are always fresh and delicious - never stale. Staff is always quick and friendly.

Will definitely be back!

    It sucks that everyone else had a better experience than me. I waited close to 20 mins for a bacon…read moreegg & cheese croissant and from seeing all the other reviews I can concretely say that they provided me with old food/ less than a subpar sandwich. I am a mother that was taking her children to school and they requested that we stop for donuts. I dislike that I can't trust ppl to not judge me and provide me with terrible service/ food and I say this because I am wondering if maybe the fact that I had on my husbands baggy clothes I might have given off an appearance that I deserved to be served eggs that were grey in the middle. To be honest I dislike receiving this type of service from a group of women that seem to pride themselves on their looks. Either way I think a review is warranted so that if for some odd reason I end up here again I get fresh eggs that doesn't make me want to vomit; simply bc I'm a human being spending my hard earned money (over $30). I shouldn't have to be a repeat customer in order to get fresh food.

    Really like this little mom n pop local donut shop…read more So far I've enjoyed every donut I've tried (except for the cinnamon crumble I think it was). I really love their chocolate donuts and their Nutella one. Yum. I also love how they have so many other offerings from cold bottled beverages, to sandwiches, boxed up cut fruit and even little bags of chips. I wish they'd try introducing some asian inspired beverages like boba and milk tea, that would be amazing. The owners are incredibly nice and the store was kept very clean and organized. Will be back again! =)

The mother always treats me like her son and tells me that I need to eat more because I'm too skinny and slips in a couple donut holes in my bag free of charge and gives me a wink. This is the true definition of neighborly love and hometown goodness. They have a vast range of donuts and don't sleep on their bagels. If you ask, they'll make you an awesome breakfast sandwich fully customizable. I'm an everything bagel toasted twice with ham, egg and onion. Also another recommendation would be any of their bear claws and turnovers (puff pastry with jam filling). Added plus are the hours, I'm an early bird type so getting a breakfast sandwich at 4:00 am while being greeted with the best smile is a win in my book all day long. The specialty donuts can sell out so if you're a maple bacon type person show up before noon. They have plenty of drink options as well. From juices to healthy drinks and energy drinks and coffees. There's table seating if you choose to dine in too. Parking has never been an issue because there's the lot out front and a garage below if the lot is full. I've never had to park down in the garage.
