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

Best donuts ever! Donuts are a little heavier, not super like like a puff, as some donuts can be. One is super satisfying and not leaving you feeling like maybe a second one is needed. The owner (i expect she's the owner) is very friendly and always so nice to my kids. My favorite is the maple donut and with each bite i taste a little bit of heaven. My kids always want the pink ones with sprinkles. I don't love that one, a bit too sweet and it is strawberry flavor. I like the classics!! Great prices, better than any other donut shop around, i believe. Even if it was a little more expensive I'd go here. Although it's one of the furthest donut shops from My house, I'll make the drive. I'm never disappointed...well until my donut comes to an end!! read more

Jelly Donut - Donuts Near Me - Indio, California

The family is up from San Diego and Sunday morning Donut ritual must carry on. Jelly Donuts was by far an excellent choice. A very Happy Family. read more

Seriously...if you are looking for fresh and scrumptious doughnuts in Indio, this is the place to go. Even just a simple basic doughnut taste like sweet heavenly goodness. Fresh. Light. Fluffy. Sugary...and everything you want from a perfectly made doughnut. Their ham and cheese breakfast croissants are pretty delish as well! Most definitely one of the best doughnut shops around anywhere. read more

There is a reason why this place has five stars. The donuts are moist, flavorful and just like I remembered them as a kid. The Apple fritters and cinnamon rolls are huge! Oh and the Boston crème donuts actually taste like a warm vanilla custard, not artificial. Seriously this place is an absolute gem for your morning donut with a cup of joe. I highly recommend. read more

Jelly Donut - Crumb donut, chocolate cake donut, chocolate long John, crumb cake donut. - Donuts Near Me - Indio, California

Can a donut shop really be worthy of a five-star rating?? Yes,.... yes it can -- and the Jelly Donut is! Had several of their raised donuts today, and an apple fritter. The donuts were incredibly light, with just the right touch of crispness on the outer shell without being chewy or overdone. The fritter... as good as any I've ever had, maybe the best ever. Once again, just the right amount of crispness without being overdone -- and the inside done just right, moist without being doughy like fritters so often are. And, the apple flavor came thru better than most, and was very good. In town for just a few days, but we'll be going back before we leave! read more

Hands down the best doughnuts ever!!! This is seriously the only place in the valley I buy doughnuts from. It's a nice family owned place. And the family is super sweet and nice. The service is always fast. 10/10 place. I always recommend this to anyone who comes to visit the valley. read more

The ham and cheese/ham, cheese and jalapeños croissants are sooo good! I definitely recommend them.

If anyone asks me where to get the best donuts, I always say Jelly Donut in Indio! The donuts are always so fresh, so delicious, and made with love. The staff makes you feel like family and it is always an enjoyable experience when I get to select my dozen! Thank you Jelly Donut for always taking care of us. read more

Pretty good donuts but if you want to pay with a credit card and your order is under $5, they arbitrarily charge you a 50 cent fee. it's only 50 cents but adding a 10-20% fee isn't cool. read more

When I was little my mom would bring me to the Jelly Donut everyday before school. My order never changed; always a Chocolate glazed donut and a hot or cold chocolate milk. The donuts were consistent daily: warm, fresh, and plump. The service was also always on point with the friendly owners greeting us by name and remembering the order. That was years ago. When I visited this past week I must say that I am torn between how things at the Jelly Donut have changed. Aside from the banners on the wall for newer items the decor is pretty much the same. The most notable difference was that in the service. I was not greeted with the same friendly smile and hello from the owners, and instead waited to be greeted when I had a question. My question was regarding the day-old donuts marked off to the side and wondered if they were sold individually, which I was informed that they were not. That was okay considering my top favorites were not in the box. (Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate!) Being overcast outside I wanted that warm feeling in my hands of a hot tea, so I ordered one. What I didn't realize is that I would have the option of regular Lipton and a bag of what I presumed was green. I went with the green and there were no surprises. I wasn't offered lemon or anything of that sort after having my warm water placed in front of me. For the donut, I ordered a Chocolate Cake. It tasted fresh and not hard considering I visited mid-day. It was still great tasting and satisfied my craving for chocolate...that day. I'm torn for writing this review. I have always loved the Jelly Donut because of their great tasting donuts and community feel. When I was younger the locals would always be in their usual spot enjoying a morning coffee. What I'm struggling with is the quality of service from the employee behind the counter. While I was enjoying my donut and tea, the employee in question was loudly speaking on the phone while helping another customer. The customer had some questions as well, but they were left unanswered. I will still visit the Jelly Donut in the future; perhaps next time in the morning if I can catch the owners or any locals I can remember. The taste and sweet smell of the place is enough to bring me in again. It is worth the visit if you're looking for just a classic little donut shop; a little donut staple of Indio. read more

Disappointed. A little oily, lackluster flavor and bad coffee. On Super Sunday I was looking for a super donut shop but it was not meant to be. The fritter was greasy and didn't have the apple goodness I look for. Since the place was called the Jelly Donut I had to get a jelly filled, it was OK. Final verdict, I'll be going elsewhere next time I'm in the desert. read more

We were very happy we went a little out of the way to get these donuts! read more

Well these Donuts are good. The maple bars are crunchy and sweet the white cake with coconut were great also. They won't disappoint

I keep waiting for this place to give me a reason not to give them a 5-star review, so that is the only thing they have really ever failed me in, because they're done it have been the best in the desert for at least the last 10 or 15 years read more

Amazingly alway so warm and fluffy. They never skip a beat in providing the best every time I get an order for work.

Like probably everyone else, my wife and I were looking for a quick bite on our way to Joshua Tree. I was Yelping and when I saw "Jelly Doughnut" Vietnamese and doughnuts I said "wow, that sounds so bizarre that it has to be great." I was not wrong. Some of the best pho I've had and the potstickers were phenomenal. Very clean place and friendly staff. We almost went back for dinner. Don't pass it up! read more

Omg! Best glazed doughnuts I have ever had. Melted in my mouth. Wow. I can't wait to go back and have more. read more

Great donuts and nice people! Open early and fresh donuts! I paid $8 for a mixed dozen. Go here and skip the chain shops.

I finally decided to try this donut shop. I thought it would be like every other place in the desert, but I was pleasantly surprised. This place is very covid friendly. Masks are required, and plastic shields keep customers away from donuts & employees. The donuts are seriously the best I've ever had. Boston Cream was actually loaded with a tasty filling, and the glazed donut was delicious as well. This is now my new go-to donut place. Thank you Jelly Donut!!!! read more

This is one of the best donut shops I've ever been to. Always fresh, always moist, always delicious....large variety to chose from and they are very fast and friendly. I love this place!!! read more

I stopped in and grabbed a dozen doughnuts based on other reviews. I'm really glad I did. The doughnuts were fresh and very tasty. They had a huge selection to choose from. I would recommend Jelly Donut if you are anywhere near the area. read more

The Jelly donut i would say in my opinion has the best ham and cheese crossaints I've tasted. There is just the right amount of cheese throughout the crossaint and the jalapeños give it just the right amount of spice. The customer service is very friendly and hospitable. In addition the maple bars are to die for! read more

Such a good spot! They have endless donuts to pick from. They also have the best ham and cheese croissants i've ever tasted! You have to get one and ask for it warmed up. The worker was pretty nice and donuts are affordable. Best place to spend money on donuts in Indio! read more

Donuts are very fresh, and they offer a great variety, even after dinner time! I was really surprised as most donut shops either close early or their selection dwindles as the day progresses. Happy to have stumbled across this gem and will definitely be back. read more
