The best donuts and service around - Great selection, but get there early or call ahead -

I had the custard filled donut with the toasted coconut on top!!!! Delicious!!! Can't wait to go back when I get a day off from work!!!

I been wanting to try this donut it shop for a while as I found it on Yelp and saw it had great reviews ! They have a little parking lot which is convenient. We went inside and the lady greeted us she was very nice and quick to make our order although she was only employee there but it's a small little shop , not much to it but it works ! I got a bacon egg and cheese with salt , and ketchup on a rolll! It was very yummy ! I also got two donuts one chocolate frosted with sprinkles and one Oreo topping donut ! I honestly didn't care that much for the donuts , just not as fresh as I was hoping for , kind hard and dry inside. The icing and sprinkles were good though ! The prices were fair ! read more

Village Donut Shop - A Dozen Yum Yums - Donuts Near Me - Jackson, New Jersey

Pictured is Village Donut Shop, a tiny store on a country road in Jackson, N.J. I've driven by it a few times but haven't stopped in until this past week. The name rang a bell and it occurred to me that this spot which can fit two, at the most three customers inside, was recently reviewed by Robyn Lane of WRAT 95.9 FM and Peter Genovese of nj.com. I stopped in earlier in the week for a breakfast sandwich and some donuts. Both were so good that I returned twice more. Previously I would go to Obco's in Toms River for donuts. They have a reputation as one of the finest donut shops in the state. I was surprised to find that I preferred the donuts at the Village Donut Shop. These are next level and the finest donuts I've ever had. So far I've had crullers, glazed, jelly, and something called chop suey which is a glazed donut with raisins, walnuts, apple, and cinnamon. But it doesn't stop there. I follow a guy who reviews Taylor ham/pork roll sandwiches. He rated the sandwich at Village Donuts as one of the best giving it a 9.2. I had it as well as a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. Both were the best I've had. The owner, who does all the cooking, bakes his own rolls. The eggs are fresh and cooked perfectly. Called "live" by the reviewer. Cheese was nicely melted and balanced with the quality bacon and pork roll (Trenton brand). I was so impressed with this place that I decided to post about it here. Definitely a destination spot both for donuts and breakfast sandwiches. read more

I've passed by this donut shop many times and finally got to stop in. My sugar jelly and Boston Cream donuts were absolutely delicious and amazing. The donuts are huge and the price is right. They hit on the right combination of price for the size. read more

Not gonna lie, I read the reviews and I'm gonna lay it out right now-- I sat in my car for 10 minutes before this 4' 9"Redhead mustered up enough nerve to walk into that Donut shop front door and place my order- and I ain't scared of anything- but I wanted those donut's in the worst way. Yes- The owner is a man of few words, but with the donuts this mighty man cranks out of his kitchen, I couldn't care less, if he didn't say anything at all or if he could literally recite War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy per verbatim and I would listen to every word- if it will get me these donuts!! BECAUSE these donuts are magical and I want them- I am not sure, what the secret recipe is, honestly, I don't really need to know... what I do need, are these donuts every weekend with my coffee, THATS WHAT I NEED!! okay, maybe not a full dozen each weekend, maybe just a half a dozen, but ya catch my drift??!! The cinnamon roll was fluffy, cinnamonyyyy and heavenly, the Boston Creme fantastic the best I've ever had!, The Glazed and the Jelly Donut was oh so good and the chocolate with sprinkles... come onnnnnnn!!!! but the maple with bacon---stoppppp ittttttt oh holy moly!! heaven... I literally had no idea what a Chop Suey donut was but I bought one for my hubby and he 'bout fell over when he took the first bite!! ya that good!!! SOOOOOOOO... This shop is not trendy, fancy, or got donuts with mile high stuff plastered on them, hell it's cashhh only.. but, what it is though (whispers) "is a damn good donut shop, with an owner that cares about his product and doesn't feel the need to conform or compromise, he has an honest following of customers that appreciate his dedication and love his food". 1. Did I have to get up at the A**crack of dawn-- yes, yes I did (And anyone who knows me, will attest that I am NOT a morning person) 2. Did I have to have these donuts--- yes, yes I did (I have no regrets or shame over this at all) 3. Do I feel the need to do 1 & 2 again-- yes, yes I do (I will be a frequent flyer of this donut shop) Did I pay more for my dozen donuts here, than I do at the Double D- Yes I did and I will do it again at least 100 times more... the quality was a million times better, they are deeelicious- I am now spoiled.. and won't cheat on my Donut Man!! Darn you donut man-- I wuv you for your donuts!! Oh --did I mention he has pork roll, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches?! BEST DONUTS EVER! read more

Village Donut Shop - Before they were devoured!! - Donuts Near Me - Jackson, New Jersey

Every time we go in here, most of their donuts are gone. We'd get there early and the shelf would still be bare. I've never cared for their customer service nor attitude. I feel that the owner is racist, but didn't really have that confirmed until Hubs went in with me. You get this hostile and angry feeling when going in there. Not going there ever again. read more

This was a little shack looking spot with tables outside to eat, but nothing available inside. They had breakfast sandwiches and donuts available. The staff was pleasant while we placed our order. They also did not take credit or debit cards. 4 donuts were ordered ($7.50). Honey Glazed - This was definitely my favorite. The donut was light, and the glaze flavor made for a pleasant donut. Sugar Jelly - My complaint about this was the jelly, not the best quality, but the donut as a whole dusted with sugar was great. Oreo - This was my least favorite. This appeared to be sitting there awhile as it was a little hard. Coconut Custard - This was surprisingly good. I am not a big fan of coconut, but the coconut shavings and the custard filling made for an ideal combination. Will I go back? I would. read more

Friendly service. Great place to pick up fresh donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Definitely worth a trip.

It's a simple donut shop. But the donuts are so good that shop should stay open until of the end of time. My boss thought the donuts were so delicious that she thought I was trying to make her gain weight. Get more donuts. Bring them to the office. Watch people lose their minds. read more

I'm all the Jackson New Jersey about 3 1/2 years ago and was fortunate enough as I'm moving in to discover acquaint little donut shop on Cassville Road. I walked in and met the owner. He was amazing. His whole family was working in the business making donuts and breakfast sandwiches. I grabbed a cuppa coffee we chopped it up. We talked about the Jets and the Giants and about 15 minutes in the bullshit and about six dollars later I saw myself leaving there with a dozen glaze donuts, and six sugar jelly filled donuts that were the most amazing product I've had in New Jersey. This place is not disappoint. It serves sweetness! read more

Donuts were fresh and had good amounts of filling. I wish the shop was closer to home.

They only take cash and venmo!! I will caution you the donuts are addicting!! Best donuts I ever had. If you love small mom and pop shops this is it. They also make breakfast sandwiches. Best Boston Creme donuts. This place is a must. Dunkin and Crisp creme have nothing on this place. read more

I wanted to like this donut shop, I really did. I've driven past it many times on the way to the beach. I've even read really good reviews. We got a variety of a dozen donuts on a Saturday morning at 9:00 AM when the selection was very good. To all of my families disappointment every simple flavor was so dry it was almost inedible. Not a single person in my family of 6 liked them at all. They seemed like they were 1-2 days old or something. They looked very yummy, but they were soooo disappointing. Sorry... read more

The Village Donut Shop is a place that I drove by thousands of times, but I have never gone in. Part of the reason I never went in was because I would drive by in the afternoon or evening when they were already closed for the day . It also doesn't look like much from the outside. Then I heard that they've been around for decades, and that seems like the type of place that I would want to check out. Yesterday morning I drove by early enough to stop, so I finally did. They are a very traditional and authentic, tiny donut shop, with freshly made donuts of the highest quality. Only about one person can fit in at a time to order. They are definitely way cooler than any of those new trendy donut shops you see around. I got the Chop Suey, which is like an apple fritter without the apples. It was absolutely delicious. I will certainly stop there again when I'm passing by in the morning. Keep in mind they really bake the donuts only in the morning anyway because that's the time you eat them, and they need to be fresh in order to taste good. Highly recommend! read more

I went there believing the hype very disappointed I'm not trying to bash small business I drove 25 minutes to get there I got about half donuts they didn't even seem fresh I don't know if it was because it was around noon time and a week day but that's it simple order jelly donuts and chocolate covered nothing special. read more

Always exceptional!! Fabulous donuts, fresh, extra large sized. Forget the pumpkin pie these are the best for holiday dessert ever. Service always excellent, shop might be small but always clean, sometimes the line is long but worth the wait. read more

I really hate giving bad reviews and wanted to love this tiny little shack but the experience we had was really off-putting. There was a younger woman at the counter when we walked in, she was really rushing us along. There was still about an hour before they closed so I'm not really sure what the rush was. I can't really put it in words but we felt super rushed. Like when we said we needed a minute to look at what they had she was asking us how many we would get so she could get the bag ready and asked again when we said we weren't sure yet since we didn't get a chance to look at what they had. Once we picked out the donuts we were rung up so quickly we didn't get to pick out drinks. I handed her a $20 (cash only) for our $8 bill but only got $2 back. Due to the previous rushed experience I just kind of took it and walked out the door (you're supposed to wait outside due to the small space). When I went right back in to explain what happened and how I didn't get enough change back she gave me a look like she definitely didn't believe me. I was positive about this because I only had $2 in my wallet and nothing in any of my pockets. It was really awkward. Overall the donuts were good and their selection (from what we quickly saw) looked pretty good. I'd like to give them another try one day but I think I'll just send me husband in to pick them out. read more

There are no words....the donuts are that good. You know you've got a great donut shop when the plain or lightly sugared crullers are to die for, and they are. Jelly, cream are first rate. Just YUMMO. Get there early, 11am is often too late. When they're gone, they're gone. read more

I have been here twice and although it's a 20 minute ride each way, it is well worth the trip. I love donuts and their donuts are deliciously classic. My favorite is the chocolate glazed donut. read more

Definitely a hidden gem. Their strawberry and honey glazed donuts were amazingly delish!!!! Melts in your mouth!!!! You must think I'm crazy, like cotton candy melts in your mouth, not donuts....I KID YOU NOT! They are amazing! Like ORGASMIC-LY AMAZING! I'm not a morning person at all, especially not on a Saturday morning, but had to in order to get to try these amazing (yes I used amazing A LOTTA times already) donuts. Since it was our first time going, my bf and I bought half a dozen of diff flavors to try. Custard filled donuts taste similar since it's the same filling but with diff topping. Not crazy about the crullers, a bit dry for me. The honey glazed and strawberry ones tho........YU-UMMMMM!!!!!! I'm drooling just from thinking about em. You gotta try for yourself to know. It is a far trip for the city folks but perhaps if you're planning a road trip or even a trip to six flags, this gem is worth stopping by! read more

These guys are giving these other shops a run for their money. I've been to quite a few donut shops in my day(not DD). They have a good variety of some old school donuts with a few jaw droppers also. But to be truly honest, they have the BEST honey glazed donuts I have ever had. Then they threw a curveball at me, THEY PUT THAT HONEY GLAZE ON A GIANT CROISSANT! HOLY MOLY!! This place is never a disappointment!! read more

Had village donuts last weekend first time in awhile . Each and every donut was dry :( very disappointing their PBJ donut special no jelly inside . Double stuffed Boston Cream mediocre . We went early because they said they sell out fast ! I truly believe we got the day before donuts . They were not fresh ! I will try again but I won't buy as many lol . If that glaze don't look shiny don't buy it it's clapped out ! read more

Dropped in yesterday to pick up 1/2 a dozen donuts. Not a huge selection of donuts in this small shop, but they cover all the basics. We went with a lemon stick, a coconut creme, a cinnamon roll (which costs a bit more than a regular donut), an apple crunch, a glazed cruller, and a sugar jelly. My Father-In-Law liked the lemon stick, between me & my wife, we thought the cinnamon roll was the best. The dough in the donuts with fillings was a bit dry, we were underwhelmed with the apple crunch and the coconut creme donuts. Overall, we were not as enamored with the Village Donut Shop as our fellow Yelp reviewers. I've eaten plenty of donuts in my travels, I find the donuts here to be fairly average. read more

I've been passing by this donut shop multiple times a week, usually after they're already closed, as they close pretty early, around 3pm. One morning I was able to get there early enough to stop by. I was welcomed in by the owner, who makes all the donuts himself and bought a box of half a dozen. He was nice enough to let me take an apple turnover instead of a donut and when asking between two donuts, he proclaimed, "just take both!" and placed both into my box. So in actuality I got 7 donuts for $9, which is still more expensive than say Dunkin Donuts but the taste is so much better. They're melt in your mouth and don't seem to get stale even hours and hours later. I'll be coming again! read more

So I stopped in here today at 6 am because I was up early and had heard many things about this donut shop. I wanted to give 5 stars somehow I feel it deserves 5 stars but something was a bit off. The donuts were delicious but something told me they weren't fresh perhaps a day old? Not sure how all that works in the donut world but we did enjoy them even tho they were a bit heavy which I am contributing to them being a day older. My husband is a jelly donut connoisseur and he adored the jelly donuts he must have had 2 through the day and guarded them all day long at work. The Boston cream was fantastic and could have skipped the cinnamon bite and plain. The store itself needs some work inside something brighter might be nice for the ambiance to reflect the donuts and the service while not unpleasant could have had a little more effort I mean it is 6 am and people are patronizing you a tad of appreciation might have been nice. 20.00 for a dozen might seem slightly steep but you get a lot of dough in the donuts as well as stuff on the inside. The griddle was full of bacon sizzling away and perhaps the bothersome caveat I can't put my finger on that I was expecting to smell fresh baked donuts and instead smoky bacon. Service with a smile is recommended here it goes a long way sometimes! read more

Dry dry dry donuts. We were disappointed again for the second time. Will not give it a try again.

My 5 year old daughter and I woke up super early this morning to come and pick up donuts for our family before they wake up. I heard to come early because they sell out quick. I believe it! It was probably 7ish and there were already customers in the store and people coming in while we were leaving. We were greeted by a really friendly woman when we walked in. We grabbed a dozen donuts while we were there. They were a hit at home! Super delicious! Highly recommend, we will defiantly come again. read more

This road side shack has been baking the donuts and slinging breakfast sandwiches for as long as I have been making the morning drive to court in Toms River, and likely a lot longer than that. It is tiny inside, with donuts on the left and grill on the right for those fresh and greasy sandwiches. Open at 6, they are often bare by 10. The coffee is hot and caffeinated, if not the best of breed. But, the raison d'etre are the amazing doughballs, deep fried and then dipped in a heavy glaze as thick as amber tree sap and sweeter than Tupelo Honey. These are not the Krispy Kreme light as a feather variety. No, siree! These bambinos are heavier, thicker, chewier and sweeter than those guys. Not exactly dense, these bad boys are certainly, "substantial." If you like this style donut, you will have found your Donut Heaven. The Glazed traditional and Glazed Crullers are knockouts! Please be careful if driving while you eat. The urge to gorge and orgasmic release just before diabetic coma is difficult to control. Operating heavy equipment can be very dangerous. read more

The Village Donut Shop is a one-of-a-kind place for sure. It cannot be much bigger than a couple of hundred square feet and yet Sal, the owner, manages to put out an incredible selection of donuts, crullers and turnovers that are to die for - and he also makes breakfast sandwiches as well. Make sure you get there early because when the donuts are gone - there are no more hidden away somewhere. This is not a DD donut type of establishment in any way, shape or form. When the donuts are gone he closes the store. I mentioned to him that I have lived in the area for over 10 years and have never been in for donuts - and he just said "why not?". Sort of a "Soup Nazi" moment. While I cannot afford to become a regular customer due to health concerns, and my wife, I certainly will come back on occasion to try some of the other donuts as well as the breakfast sandwiches. read more
