Was craving some donuts and had to come grab a few... the establishment is very small and homey like. A few small tables you can sit and have your coffee and donut before work. Service was good.. the owner is very friendly. I bought a six pack of donuts and the owner gave me 2 extras for my kids. My favorite here is the glazed ring donuts .. always so fluffy and delicious! I also got a couple chocolate covered and maple ones ... the red dipped with toppings was gifted for the kids.. they also said they make giant celebration donuts! I will order one .. one day for a birthday or something for sure! I would Definately come back here for future donut cravings! read more

Java Time Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Donuts were not good. Tasted old and stale. Everything was over priced. Bacon egg and cheese croissant was bad too. Would not recommend coming here. read more

I've had the complete opposite experience. I stop by almost every weekend for donuts, and they've been fresh every single time. The selection is always great. I had their breakfast sandwiches and have never had any issues. Compared to other shops around Laguna, the pricing is reasonable and cheap. read more

This place is great! I called in for custom donuts and the owner worked with me to get the perfect design. I told them it was for an engagement party, I wanted them to look like rings, and I would stick a diamond topper on them. I got a dozen gold and a dozen silver sparkled donuts. The price was very reasonable and donuts tasted great as well! read more

I went in here for the first time to buy some donuts for my classmates for finals week. Went in and asked for a mix of everything, customer service was amazing he asked if anything he should skip on like peanuts. I didn't even think of allergies but really glad he asked. Im not a donut type of person but I ended up eating 2 of them because they were so good and all my classmates loved them as well! read more

This place is close and they have some amazing donuts. I was in the mood for an apple fritter and they didn't disappoint. They have three car spots and you pull into the driveway. Easy access. I pulled right in and got my donuts. It was almost 7 in the morning and the case was full of donuts already. I love old fashion and got both glazed and chocolate covered. The wife loves plain glazed donuts so included that to. Quick and close and all fresh. I think the place is Asian owned and operated too. read more

Java time has go to for us for over 20 years, they changed their menu, They're no longer offering a mixed dozen price.

Donuts are fresh and delicious. We went near closing but they still had my favorites. Id love tk go earlier to see what else they offer and try some new items. Aside from the donuts being delicious the customer service is five stars, very nice and welcoming workers. Will be back. read more

Apple Fritter Review #30 Glaze: the right amount, four stars Outside: slightly crispy, four stars Inside: soft, not too moist, five stars Filling: not a lot of apple but fine, three stars Four stars, a good apple fritter. read more

Haven't been to this shop in years. Last time I came they had a decent apple fritter but times have changed and unfortunately so has the apple fritter...more bread-like and drier, way less apples, not enough sweetness in the glaze. The traditional doughnuts (a round glazed, chocolate, and maple) were good. So if you want a good doughnut this is a good bakery, just don't buy an apple fritter. read more

There are so many donut shops around town, you might wonder if there is any real difference between them. Java Time offers raised donuts, cake donuts, specialty donuts, as well as a variety of donuts holes. So what makes them a cut above...? The staff here takes the time to engage with their customers. I have been here with my grandson and instead of donut holes, they were "dinosaur eggs", according to the server. Not just that, because they remember my grandson and welcome him whenever he is with me. The only negative to Java Time is that they are so popular that you need to get here early in order to get a varied assortment! read more

We have donuts at the office on multiple occasions from various places and people. When I bring donuts from Java Time Donuts, the staff notices the quality and always impressed. It can be as simple as a glazed donut. read more

I came in early and ordered a couple of dozens of donuts. The chocolate and maple ones were my favorites. Both of them had a lot of flavors. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. I would come back again. read more

Donuts are big which is good, but the donuts are very, very super oily. 2 stars for the donuts size and the rest needs improvement. I hope the oil used is clean and not over used. The box that they used to sell Donuts to me were soaking with oil. Not even exaggerating. I wish I took a picture of it. read more

So bummed! I'm assuming ownership has changed. The past few times we went here the donuts tasted somewhat stale and just not fresh like before. You wouldn't have known their maple donuts were maple because the maple was so thin and watered down, it was almost clear. Such a disappointment...this place USED to be so good :( read more

Open early, great selection, reasonable prices, great customer service. Everything looks good. I must admit I bought donuts for a client who was accommodating my very early schedule. I didn't try the donuts personally. Minimum $4 purchase in order to use credit or debt cards. Otherwise pay with cash. read more

Such fun donuts! Wow! What a variety of colorful donuts! Star shaped, or peanut butter filled, or topped with cereal or candy... or even a giant cake sized donut! In this modern age of social media- these are definitely 'gram worthy. But not the tastiest donuts I've ever had, but I'm sure I'll be back, as the office loved this donut surprise. read more

Who else loves doughnuts?! We came here on a Saturday morning and got a dozen doughnuts to try some of everything. My family comes here a lot and wanted to show me while in town. The ube doughnut was good! But my favorite was the doughnut I had with whipped cream and strawberries on top! So so good. Very simple flavors but they do it so well! Next time we're in town I'll hit up here again one morning! read more

Java Time Donuts - Our doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Java Time donuts is tucked away in a little corner next to a nail salon and massage studio, but if you're cruising down Laguna blvd, you might just catch it! I enjoy coming to this small mom and pop shop when I have the chance. Their donut flavors are unique, not too sweet, and have the right amount of fluff! I recently placed an order for a big donut cake. Their big donuts come in different sizes and start out at $29.95. They will also decorate it to your liking and throw in some donut holes in the box for decoration. I can get a bit OCD at times and was worried that my order wouldn't come out the way I wanted it to since I ordered through the phone and the lady who picked up the phone had broken english. I came to pick up the donut this morning and it turned out PERFECT! Perfectly decorated, nicely written on, and it was everything I asked for on the phone. I surprised my friend with it for her birthday and she loved it!! If you are looking for some great tasting donuts and a unique take on a birthday cake , then i HIGHLY recommend java time donuts :) read more

Java Time Donuts - Surprised my friend with this for her birthday :) - Donuts Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I went in last week to place an order for a giant donut cake for my sister in law, sister & husband. The lady that was helping me was very sweet & it was very easy to do. I paid then & there. I had my sister pick up the donut cake since she lives closer to there, she told me that it was super busy, but even then a girl that works there helped my sister out because she didn't want her to accidentally scrape it. Super sweet! & they hooked our donut cake up! the taste is so fresh & not dry at all surprisingly. This place is definitely my go to now! I will be ordering from them in the near future when my daughter turns 2! Thank you for making their birthday a memorable one! read more

Been coming here ever since I was a little kid so I've basically grown up on these donuts. They're pretty good every time even during stressful times such as recessions and pandemics. Love their maple donuts at well as their apple fritters. Only complaints I have are the prices have gone up over the years and their hours posted online are not consistent with each other compared to the actual hours they're open. Their website and here on Yelp (which was apparently updated a few days ago) said they were open from 5 to 2 every day but Google and the hours posted on their door said 5:30 to 3 every day except for closed all day on Tuesdays. So I ended up having to wait a little bit when I got there for them to officially open up which wasn't a huge deal but they need to update their hours so they're consistent across all platforms. read more

Stopped here after seeing the reviews and praise for this place. Don't recall the quality of donuts but don't think we were disappointed. Nothing stood out from this place in particularly, maybe we missed the hot items. read more

I luv being able to get my donuts before anyone is up and on the road, they open at 5am and have a sizable selection! A dozen to take home an' a dozen donut holes for the ride with my coffee, great way to start any day!!! read more

GREAT donuts, GREAT coffee fresh made by wonderful people! and they do it all soooo early in the morning

Donut pass up on this place! Come here to satisfy your sweet tooth craving with your am coffee, or enjoy a midday pick me up treat like I did. Donuts so fluffy and eggy tasting you don't want to miss out on! I came here to inquire about customized donuts for a baby shower and the woman (who appeared to be the owner) told me they only require a 24 hour notice for 100 donuts, Wow that would be fast! To sample for taste, I ordered a chocolate and maple donut to go. When I opened my bag, I was surprised to find three donuts. She secretly snuck in my bag an original glazed twist, how nice! Even though I ordered these donuts close to 5 pm, they were still soft and everything a donut should be, not old and stale. I've had fluffier and airer donuts in the past, but these had the right amount of density (so I don't feel like I'm just eating air and glaze) and somewhat of a eggy taste that I liked a lot. Will definitely be back to place my order here for all my satisfactory donut needs! read more

Great variety. Great service. I am happy this one thing has gone correct for me today. It was coming here.

My little one is such a foodie so we decided on a donut theme for her first birthday. Having a pandemic baby certainly was more challenging than we anticipated after having our first during normal times. This alternative cake brought such a smile to our faces! This is the smallest size and is by no means small. Reasonably priced too. So so fun!! I showed it off to friends and one has already requested it for their birthday. Thank you!! read more

Everything and everyone is great, can't get enough of The custard cream puffs! The big donut cake is out of this world!

I do not live in Elk Grove but I will drive the extra 20 minutes just to get donuts from here that's how good they are. There are the classic flavors and then lots of fun and interesting flavors as well. My favorite are the powdered doughnut holes filled with fresh whip cream. Most recently I ordered a donut cake for a surprise party and all of the guests couldn't stop talking about how cool and delicious the cake was! If you order a donut cake you do have to order at least 24 hours in advance so it takes some forethought but it's such a neat idea. Both times I have ordered a donut cake it was ready at the time I had requested so I didn't have to sit and wait. Would also be good if you had a kids birthday/slumber party and wanted to serve them breakfast as well and make things easy on yourself. read more

Not sure why it took me so long to post a review about my favorite donut shop ever in Elk Grove. I use to go to the now closed location off of I-5 & Elk Grove blvd many years ago. These donuts are always fresh. Donuts are light and delicious. I always get the blueberry donut that is sooooooooo gooooooodddd chocolate bars, crueller, maple bacon & a variety of sprinkle donuts for my kids. Donut holes are always a good buy. Hot coffee available. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I have ordered donuts here 2 times for my daughters birthday and they have customized color and shape, huge hit with the kids and parents. They have oversized donuts on order. The location is a little weird but their is parking on the back side of the building. Laguna on the corner of Trenholm Dr. read more

I've enjoyed getting donuts from this small family owned business! I just can never wake early enough to get their good stuff before they sell out! Love their blueberry fritter! read more

Once again this place is amazing! Made reservations to book (2) dozen donuts + (1) donut cake a week prior for a baby shower event and asked them to do designs for a boy. Everything came out better than expected. Everyone complimented the donuts and said how delicious they tasted. Best donut shop in town! I have people coming from Suttercreek waiting to go to Elk Grove just to visit this shop for their delicious donuts read more

Simple and Fluffy donuts every time! And their sizes stay consistent. Thank you for making the best donuts!

After going through photos for Java Time Donuts, I noticed they sold huge oversized donuts! I thought it was such a fun idea but I wanted to save it for a special occasion. Finally a few days ago, I came by and pre-ordered a large donut to bring to work to celebrate my boyfriend's last day. All of the large donuts have to be pre-ordered at least 24 hours ahead of time. They have multiple sizes, ranging from about $20-40. It looks like you can pretty much do any flavor, and they have heart shaped donuts too! When I ordered mine, she offered chocolate, glazed, or glazed with sprinkles, so I went with the latter, in the smallest size (which is still HUGE). I was impressed with the price, because usually novelty items like that aren't too cheap. They can also write on it! They use whipped cream and it's pretty legible. My pickup time was supposed to be 1:30pm but I called to find out if it was possible if I could pick it up earlier, and she told me it would be ready in ten minutes! We drove over there and waited a couple minutes and it was warm and ready in the perfect size box. They even threw in a few dozen donut holes for free, covered in matching sprinkles! As for the taste, it was so light and fluffy and soft! I was expecting the look of the donut to exceed the taste, but wow I was surprised. I definitely thought it would be too dense or dry due to the size, but it was perfect. Soft, chewy, melt-in-my-mouth delicious! The presentation was spot-on and I think it's an awesome alternative to the average cake, and it's perfect for any occasion, even if you want to just bring a big donut for a big group of people to share! read more

Steppin' up the donut game and making donut dreams come true!!! This place is all about taking the donut to another level. Don't get me wrong, they have the regular classic donuts available: chocolate glaze, maple, sugar, donut holes, bear claws, apple fritters, etc. Pretty sure people don't come here for the regular donuts! They have donuts the size of 3 toddlers! A special order item you have to pre-order 24 hours in advance. GREAT for office parties and just parties in general. They have Texas sized donuts the size of your face too! What blew me away? The creative donuts they had to offer! For example: 1. The bacon maple glazed donut: bacon pieces as toppings to the maple glaze. Amazing how the flavors went together. Have it with coffee and it tastes like breakfast instead of just a sweet pastry! 2. The Reeses Donut: If you're a Reeses Butter Cup lover like me you'll appreciate this donut! Chocolate glazed donut with peanut butter in the middle of soft, delectable, doughy bread. It was perfect! 3. Donut star with cream cheese: Usually cream cheese is associated with a croissant style pastry. Not here. Mofo is in a fancy star shaped donut. Super yummy! Yes, I only had three donuts. That's only because I ate half a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts the night before. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of their creations. Just to name a few: Oreo Cookie donut Fruity Pebbles topped donut Captain Crunch topped donut Creme filled with fresh strawberry donuts I can go one and on! I just want to taste them all! read more

Purple frosted donuts and sprinkled donut holes...YUM! I was on the hunt for some sugary treats to start off my day before heading to work last week. I decided to drive slightly off course and head to Java Time, as I had passed by it every day on my way to work before I moved last year! I love the variety this place has: whether I want a bacon-topped donut, peanut butter-filled or a chocolate-frosted red velvet, a ton of donuts are patiently waiting to be grabbed by the next lucky customer who walks into the convenient location that has plenty of parking. If you want a donut they don't currently have, they might offer to make it for you, as the friendly, cheerful girl did for me, noting that it would take about 30 seconds to a minute to form a specialty donut, perhaps like one of the cereal-topped donuts that were on display. The red velvet donut was really good, and caught my co-workers' eyes when I brought it to work. I loved the glazed, sprinkled donut holes. I'm a sucker for donut holes, and usually all I see at a typical donut shop are powdered sugar-covered donut holes or glazed. The employee threw in a few extra donut holes in for free, and added some cinnamon sugar coated donut holes for me to try as well : )) I also ordered a purple glazed donut with sprinkles as purple is my fav color and it was good, but not great. The raspberry jelly-filled donut, however, was delicious. It was soft and the glazed coating gave it the perfect texture on the outside! I'm looking forward to trying more varieties the next time I drive through Elk Grove. read more
