Custom letter donuts
Ale M.

This review is for their custom letter donuts only. Regular donuts are great tasting every time I come here. They get a 5. But I ordered one dozen P donuts and one dozen J donuts. They were smaller size than their regular donuts and the J shaped donuts were a disappointment. They looked like little logs. I thought they'd at least add the top of the J to make them look better. They were pricey too. $34 for each dozen.

(Tookout 09/14/20 MO @ 12:00pm): J K Donuts was no joke! In my unwavering quest for an apple fritter wherever I was, my latest find was J K Donuts. When I did a Yelp search of the area, I appeared to be exhausting my options with only a few left to try - go figure! As I neared completion of donut shops in Whittier, would I return to this one once that time comes!? PURCHASE THE "APPLE FRITTER IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD TOUR" CONTINUED... Apple Fritter ($1.95): Not that I was an apple fritter snob - eff it...yes I was! - but there was a certain way I liked mine. 1st, the price was very comparable to the now going rate. 2nd, it was very round, I liked the thickness and density, and basically the size of my face (an ode to the great Goldstar Donuts in Van Nuys). 3rd, there was a mass amount of apple bits. 4th, the overall dark brown color was extremely nice with many burnt ends (I loved it burnt), and the heavy glaze made for an incredibly good and messy cracking effect. There were many crunchy odd crannies, corners, and nooks which I liked to break off into small little morsels. 5th, it was fresh based on its temperature with slight hints of oil pockets or gooey apple juices that leaked into your mouth and dripped down your throat. Overall, it had complete value - 5.0 STARS https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-AABilaS9ig2TfehCaIOkA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Large Mango Fruit Smoothie w/Boba ($3.95 + $0.50): My first meal of the day satisfied the craving. It had a decent amount of chewy boba but not enough (I liked a lot), lightly sweet with minimal mango flavor, and a nice cold consistency - I liked it but had better https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X2olDaF0dNdrYg2qm1qclQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Bacon Maple Donut ($1.35): You had me at bacon, and the thick maple glaze was off the hook; you couldn't ask for anything else... except more bacon https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=X7sTFEN0yMc8S3rvd8zYTg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Buttermilk Bar ($1.20): A beautifully-fat heavily-glazed creamy bar of goodness that I actually ate the next day, fifteen seconds in the microwave softened everything up and simply melted in my mouth - amazing https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=RglyAr-OUEmendMgvfPpgA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Rainbow Sprinkles Cake Donut ($1.10): Plenty of colorful sprinkles with a thin vanilla frosting and fresh moist donut - it's such a happy donut https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tGim7my8fFUI93qC7CHJyA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I was greeted by a friendly middle-aged Asian woman who gave me her undivided attention since I was the only customer at the time. She quickly collected my donut order before she created my boba drink. In less than seven minutes, I was out of there to enjoy my drink on my drive home - thank you! PARKING (FREE) Located within a medium strip mall with several businesses, parking actually wasn't bad at all since I parked directly in front of the shop. Otherwise, there was plenty of parking along the main drag of Whittier Blvd. and nearby side streets. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A spacious shop with one donut display case https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=GJzm_-2Ek0M17gqROomYTw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw highlighted by the apple fritters https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SNAfM4va8Y0YggyrXsNKlQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and decorative donuts https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=za3ID5qn5CNL-KgVlsb9hw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a cooler filled with plenty of bottled/canned drinks, easily legible fruit smoothies https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=fMBJpS_HeTwKoEeae1dz1g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw and drink/food https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Fm1QLG0trBw7Er31LagpCQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw menus/prices, respectively, no tables/chairs whatsoever due to COVID-19, a separating Plexiglass between you and the salesperson, and a large Scratchers machine https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2cfrr5gEJ_QVypKlqvWxeQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came through the front glass walls (although semi-covered by some pictures and signs) and door while soul-sucking electric fluorescent ceiling lights covered the rest. I didn't notice any TVs nor background music. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL J K Donuts was a lovely find with an amazing apple fritter and would definitely return for more! Everything was fresh and yummy, the prices comparable, and the service exceptional. They also sold bagels, coffee/drinks/tea, croissants, ramen, and more! Plus, it's always a pleasure to support a mom & pop small business. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $11.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

HBD donuts (should have said no to sprinkles)

Thanks to Yelp I was able to find a local donut shop that makes the donut letters. Placed the order a week before. Price was $26. I requested that they make the donuts a little thicker because some of the pictures from IG show the donuts on the skinnier side. The guy who helped me wasn't the most pleasant and welcoming in the world but he took the order correctly and delivered timely. Can't comment on the taste because the 13 men I was with gobbled them up...the birthday boy didn't even get to taste them.

I called early in the morning for a last minute happy bday donuts and they were able to make it for me super fast. The lady on the phone told me for orders with a special name request are normally done the day before. So for my next order I will for sure call a day in advance. I am attaching a picture of the donuts and you can see for yourself just how cute it came out. My daughter absolutely loved it. I paid $17 and it was worth every dollar to see my daughter so happy when she got it.

I would of given this place 5 stars but when picked up donut orders we got a strawberry banana smoothie with boba and it was not good. So felt like I wasted $4.50 on that.. on another note though, placed an order for pink and light blue donuts with white sprinkles and the donuts were so cute and so yummy!!! Definitely would go back for donuts!

About 10 days ago, I bought some customized donuts from JK donuts and brought them to my husband's work. I'd say the donuts were aesthetically pleasing. My husband's colleagues really like them and got lots of compliments. Service: Fast! The lady was able to accomodate a short notice order a day before my husband's bday celebration at work. Food: Visually artistic. Tasted really good. However, they were a bit on a smaller size. They almost look like the bite size donuts. Price: $32+tax for the complete "Happy Birthday +name" or only $20+tax for "Happy Bday". Prices vary as well for different flavours/toppings.
