I am a self-proclaimed donut expert. 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! read more

Great donuts to feed my Coachella guests. Good prices. Variety. Friendly staff. Ease of getting in and out.

I heard about this place from a local in La Quinta CA. Being a donut lover I had to try the donuts. Off I went and only to find out they were sold out of product. And closed. Went back a few days later to see a fully stocked store. Bought a large apple fritter and a Boston cream. The service was great. The place was clean. I would return again. read more

I love the jelly doughnut. I've been going to the jelly donuts since I was seven years old. Now that I'm an adult with a family I take my children and they love this place family owned and operated. They continue the legacy the quality and the taste is so delicious. I work in Palm Desert people tell me where can I get the best donuts as I always say Indio the jelly doughnut read more

I am a local in Indio. I've came to the jelly donut before and they have the best donuts so far in the valley I usually have amazing experiences here but today wasn't one of them. I just got off work and wanted to stop by for some donuts for the family and some Boba for myself usually the Boba is amazing, soft sweet and savory. So I was hoping for something of that sort but after I got my Boba and donuts and left, I realized that Boba was rock hard. I tried to ignore it, but it was so bad to the point that I couldn't I ended up going back and I asked him if he can just make me a drink without the Boba, but he was very rude. Said take your money back and said that's always how it comes out and to leave. There was nothing wrong with the donuts. They were good as always but the service and Boba were horrible. read more

Tiny spot in Indio, I noticed it today. The donuts are delicious... fluffy, airy, and really good. This will be my to go spot from now on.

Wow! Fresh donuts, generous in size and taste! Cinnamon swirl and an Apple fritter were our choices and they were delicious! And the manager/ waitstaff was friendly with such a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes- what a lovely way to go into the day. Thank you Jelly Donut read more

Donuts were amazing. Very fresh and delicious and had a great variety, Will definitely be back again.

Doughnuts were hard and limited selection. I swear they must have been day old doughnuts. Icing as almost completely cracked off of one of the doughnuts. read more

I went today and bought a dozen donuts, +2 jalapeño croissants. So far, I've only had the apple fritter and it was delicious. It's pretty easy to find and they do take a debit cards. They were quick and attentive. read more

Definitely the best donuts in the Coachella Valley. Even a day old it's still soft & fresh. The shop is clean, staff are friendly! If you call & request to reserve some for you, they really save it without asking for payment till it's picked-up! Thing is, you should be an early riser otherwise, if you snooze you loose! read more

Hands down the best donuts in the valley! Donuts are soft when you bit In to them and so Yummy:) They will definitely compete with Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts and most likely will beat them. The Owner is very friendly , We Miss his Wife . Will always buy when I'm in town :) Blessings. read more

Best doughnuts in Indio! Open early so don't be surprise when your favorites are gone. Clean bakery and friendly staff. Enjoy!

Here are the business hours: 0430-1330 1700-2000 Daily according to google Owners need to add this to their profile in Yelp Ok first time here, out of town and I used Yelp to find it. Bottom line up front BLUF Did not disappoint! Got my standard evaluation donuts: Apple fritter and custard filled... Both were Rock Star quality! Get ya some and Yelp on! Only negative comment is that this place is still stuck in the Covid drama. Every one is masked and the awesome clear plastic sheeting is installed above the counters so you have to yell for them to hear you! The germ o phobes will be elated! Now go get ya some and Yelp on! read more

The donuts melt in your mouth. My favorite are the sugar donuts and the glazed donut holes. The cleanliness and friendly service makes coming back easy. read more

I love this local donut shop. I've been here lots of times. My family and I never go anywhere but here to get donuts. Unlike the chain donut places, these donuts are satisfying. The Jelly Donut offers consistently great service and great donuts at a great price, every single time! Highly recommend making this your go-to donut shop. They're a small, independently owned, local business, too! If you're reading this on the day it was posted, happy National Donut Day! It's a great day to visit The Jelly Donut. read more

Was looking so forward to having these donuts they were not as good as I thought they would be unfortunately pretty sad:(

I saw this place had a ton of 5 star ratings so I had to try them. OMG!! The best cinnamon roll/coffee roll I've ever had. I bought to eat back at the house I was staying at and it was gone before I got half way back. It was incredible. The staff was super nice, which is a plus. Thank You for the experience!!! read more

Ordered a dozen, a combination of different donuts. They are amazingly light and not overly sweet. Great job Mr. Jelly. read more

Yummy donuts ! Came by and the owner was so friendly! Exactly what I craved and needed.

Excellent!! Craved donuts and found this place on yelp. Extremely high quality, will absolutely be going back.

Great donuts! Awesome customer service! Great donut selection! Bonus that it opens at 4am

We are somewhat new to Indio, and since we drive by Jelly Donut at least once a week, we decided to stop in try their donuts one day late last year, since when we can, we prefer patronizing ma-and-pa type businesses vs. chain/franchise restaurants. WOW! We were VERY impressed with our donuts! They were out of this world! Plus the customer service is just AWESOME! This is the only place we get donuts now! It does not matter what time of the day we get donuts (in the morning or in the late afternoon), they ALWAYS taste fresh and are always very good! What really impresses me about Jelly Donut, the quality and freshness of their donuts is always consistent and the customer service is just always so great. The people that work here are so patient and they are always very nice, polite, and professional. They offer such spectacular customer service here. This team of employees that work here are the type of people you wish that you could take with you and provide this same stellar customer service wherever you go and when you are in need of any type of customer service. We usually come here at least once a month, but sometimes when I don't want a donut, I still will stop by and get some donuts, because I really want to do my part to help keep this magnificent ma-and-pa business open and continue to succeed. Plus I always have time to eat a good donut. :-) If you are ever in the mood for some good and quality donuts, you will not be disappointed coming here. "Thank you Jelly Donut for being a part of our Indio community!" read more

Yum! The reviews don't lie- Jelly Donut is awesome! Clean, quick, local and at the right price. My three donuts cost $3 and change. Can't wait to try other flavors next time. read more

Bought donuts for the family. All were fresh and yummy! Would go back another time for sure.

We needed a donut shop for our visits out to Indio. Mostly because my children have become accustomed to getting donuts on Sunday morning. So we did some exhaustive research, and by exhaustive, we found a place that was close to our spot. And we got lucky because the donuts here are really, really good. Love the owners and the staff who works here. It's the kind of locals spot that I grew up going to. So I would suggest going here over any of the national chains that might be in the neighborhood. read more

AMAZING apple fritters! I also had the lemon filled, very good. Really sweet staff. Very clean environment.

Love their soft donuts, like any other place there donuts are perfect. Been there a few times.

Freshest donuts in the desert! Only wish they had better store hours...seems like they close by early afternoon daily

I didn't think the place was very clean. They still had the COVID screens up and the server was impossible to understand! I will not be going back! read more

Jelly donut baker is a legend they have the best glaze twist in all of Palm desert area. They are so light and perfectly proofed. Sometimes I'll come at 10am and they'll already be sold out! Their baker has the magic touch the dough for all their classic donuts ie glaze, maple, twist, are worth trying for yourself. They don't do fancy donuts here no Krueller or cronut but they are some other options like jelly filled (obv) and the old fashion sour glaze or buttermilk are great as well. All the ladies that work there are very kind too. lots of elderly locals will hang out in there in the mornings cuz old people be up at crazy early hours drinking coffee with nothing else to do. I think they have ape fritters but If you want a fancy donuts there's an overpriced winchells around the corner literally. read more
