I am a self-proclaimed donut expert…read more One of my favorite things to do when I'm visiting somewhere I've never been is find an independently owned donut shop. Jelly Donut. C'mon, how can you resist a name like that! It's a nice, simple donut place. The selection isn't huge, but it doesn't have to be. You'll have no trouble finding what you like. The donuts? Well, I put them to my donut test. I had a glazed twist and a cake donut. Both passed the test with flying colors. You can tell a good donut because it does not have an oily aftertaste. These were both excellent. On top of that, the prices are lower than any donut shop I've been to in a long time. The woman who was working there, I think she was the owner, was super nice. I had coffee as well. Great coffee. They also have ham and cheese croissants, boba, cappuccino, hot chocolate, and canned and bottled drinks. Parking is plentiful and easy, right in front. There are some tables and chairs so you can sit and relax over some good coffee and "Jelly" donuts!

I tried 50% sweet, but this is a full undiluted Jasmine so I need a little extra sweetness to take the bitterness away. Great news that it's not watered down. Hubby and I like the original mochi dog crunchy and chewy with a nice yummy hotdog & half hotdog/half mozzarella inside. Not excited that it's $.75 for a sweet chili sauce... I might bring my own next time...LOL I do like that they now have the instant Ramen option... Haven't used it yet because I can make that at home but it's nice to know I can make it out if needed... When you have a yummy chewy crispy mochinut hotdog, what else do you need?!? They have a great product, but my issues that make it a four star versus a five star are that they are not open on Monday and Tuesday and that's usually when I want to go...boohoo :-( Also, They charge I think $.60 if you use your credit card but they do have options like Cash, Zelle and Venmo that don't charge for paying those ways. All the various little upcharges are slightly bothersome... But the positive side to that is I can choose to not add those things and save some money while still enjoying the basic Mochinut experience... as long as it's not Monday or Tuesday.... I'm assuming that Monday and Tuesday were not busy enough for them and they had to do their best to utilize their staff on the other days and it seems that they chose to be open on the weekends over Monday and Tuesday, which is probably a good business decision... So I'd rather them stick around because they make good decisions for their business, even though they're kinda not available when I want. It's better to have them survive in this hard California business climate. There is nothing like Mochinut, so we can all compromise a bit. So there you go if I didn't have any issues with open days & upcharges, they'd have a five star based on product & service.

The space is tiny but well-stocked with a solid variety of Mexican pan dulce, plus breakfast burritos and other items on the wall menu. What it lacks in size it makes up for in atmosphere: the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly baked bread does all the selling. Everything is clean and neatly arranged. Staff are available if you have questions but don't go out of their way to assist -- expect a self-serve browsing experience. The exterior reads a little dark and it is easy to miss. The bread itself? Fresh, delicious, and worth every bit of the detour. This was a quiet little find for pan dulce lovers. Go hungry and don't judge it by its exterior.

As a kid, we should buy donuts at this establishment windchills on through high school. The donuts were good today. I went a few times donuts are bland. They're shortening you on sugar. People need to complain about this because somebody that's running that is short changing the customer out of taste and quality, this needs to change three dollars for a donut you expect to get a three dollar not something off the street they're horrible. These donuts are horrible. I go in there late at night and they got the old rotten donuts on the bottom and they'll try to sell you those donuts and most of these people that work there they don't care they're from other countries I don't care darn I am pissed off!!!!!!! read more

If it weren't for the bald headed thugs and homeless people screaming it would be a decent place. I went in there earlier this week with my wife and two low life bald headed gangsters started saying something to my wife. It was hard to understand but it was not good so I told him off a bit (probably a bad idea). Basically the area is really invested with bad folks. I hope that the owners can have more of a police presence to stop the potential problems. read more
