    One of my favorite donut shops. Wish you were in Vancouver. you are so awesome. Love it. at work we had a party and ordered Jelly Modern Doughnuts here. So delicious. Got the strawberry jam flavor and the chocolate coated one. Both not too sweet and just perfectly made. Definitely a good treat. I have had Jelly Modern Doughnut before and they never disappoint.

    Headed over to this place after breakfast with friends because it looked interesting online. The location is located is quite busy so we were grateful we found parking, even if it was a few blocks away. The place is super spacious and neat. There was only one lady working but it wasn't busy at all when we arrived around noon. The displays were very eye catching and every donut more tempting than the last. Each donut comes in a small or a large size. I chose to get one small Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla donut. The donut was fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. Didn't taste the bourbon but the pink sugar sprinkles were super cute and picture worthy! It was almost a shame to eat it but a fresh donut is the best donut so my friends and I sat down at the tables, which were also kept neat. Donuts were a bit pricey even for just one but since ingredients were locally sourced and donuts were made on site, you pay for that artisan experience and quality. It's worth checking out!

    Over rated! Really over rated. We got one of each that was left for our group of people and we all had a bite of each one. They did Not have a lot of flavor. The dough tasted mostly like yeast and not enough toppings. If we had to pick one it would say it was the Madagascar vanilla was the best. I liked the tiny version of donuts they sold. I liked that idea. Would we go back? No!!!

    Oh doughnuts you always make my day better! Especially these Jelly Modern Doughnuts! They were brought into work one day and I had to go myself and get more. They are unlike any other. The flavour and choices you have are amazing. They always taste fresh no matter how long you've forced yourself to put at least one to the side for later. I highly recommend them.

    Items Ordered: Coconut - Coconut Milk Glaze, Coconut Pastry Cream, Sweetened White Coconut Carrot Cake - Cinnamon Mascarpone Glaze Tangerine Dream - Orange Blossom Honey Glaze, Tangerine Curd, Mandarin Orange Segment Maple Bacon - Brown Maple Glaze and Valbella Bacon Peanut Butter Cup - Peanut Butter Ganache, Peanut Cream Filling, Salted Peanuts S'mores - Chocolate Ganache, Marshmallow Cream, Housemade Marshmallow, Graham Cracker Crumble Modern Cinnamon Roll - Saigon Cinnamon Sugar, Mascarpone Icing Finding the country known for Tim Horton's surprisingly lacking for fried-Dough alternatives, even oldschool mom n' pop spots seemingly unable to compete with Canada's love for a Maple Dip, it was with high hopes that I visited downtown's Jelly Modern Doughnuts, the results unfortunately quite underwhelming even in an undersaturated market. Located on the corner of 8 Street and 14 Avenue SW, the décor of white and wood laminate with splashes of pink clearly done on a tight budget, it was just past 11am that I entered the lengthy space with a glass window next to the counter, a bevy of options that rotate daily offered in two sizes, a total of six $2.25CAD 'smalls' charged a la carte joined by one sizable Cinnamon Roll. Tossing about terms like 'artisan' and hand-filled, though in reality none of Jelly Modern's choices are recognizable as the latter since all they do is remove the 'hole' and replace it with Glaze or Cream, it was much to the disappointment of this diner that all but the under-spiced Carrot Cake featured the same doughy base, first bites of Coconut far sweeter than anticipated with a sickeningly-sweet, almost artificial aftertaste. Moving on to better things, the monthly special "Tangerine Dream" a complex balance of sweet and sour with light bitter notes from 'Curd' that tasted more like Marmalade, the Maple Bacon was also quite good though certainly not 'filled' as suggested on the menu, a ring described as "Peanut Butter Cup" equally deceitful as a hole straight-through was fairly obvious, though the salty roasted Peanuts did play well off the heavily sweetened Cream. Not particularly impressed by S'mores, that same cloying sweetness found in the Coconut overwhelming both the Chocolate and any flavor attempted by way of Graham Cracker dust, the 'Modern' Cinnamon Roll was probably the only reason to consider a visit to Jelly once Tangerine Dream is retired at the end of January, the dense coil richly imbued with Cinnamon beneath smooth Mascarpone Icing.

    Mmmmmm. Donuts!!! Wandered over to Modern Jelly Donuts one Saturday after having lunch on 17th. I can't believe its taken me so long to actually get around to trying these donuts. I have been missing out on these delicious donuts for YEARS!! The shop itself was open and there was lots of room to hang out and have a coffee and donut with friends or family. There were even some tables outside so you could enjoy your treat while people watching if you wanted. That day, they had 6 types of donuts, a cinnamon bun and some gluten free donuts. We opted to get a half dozen assortment box and ended up with the classic maple bacon, a s'more, maple cream, peanut butter chocolate, chocolate and a lemon style donut. In all honesty, I thought the chocolate ones were going to be my favorites but they actually turned out to be my least favorite. I'm not sure why but I found those 2 specific donuts to be drier and denser than the other ones leading to some disappointment on my end. However, the maple bacon donut made up for it was incredible. It was fluffy and packed full of flavored. The donut wasn't too sweet and bacon was just right and complimented the maple flavor. This was by far the best maple flavored donut I've ever had. It clearly lived up to it being a signature donut of Modern Jelly. Definitely a must try for anyone who stops by!

    S'mores,  classic jelly, lemon curd, maple bacon, and green tea.

    Jelly Modern Dougnuts is a doughnut shoppe that offers new and innovative ways of making your beloved doughnut flavours, while keeping it simple. They also introduced the maple bacon doughnut flavour to Calgary and they were featured multiple times on the Food Network. So I'm pretty sure they have the art of doughnut making down pat. The doughnut itself is super chewy and moist. And their many doughnut glazes are not overpowering at all, which when combined make a heavenly pairing. My favourite flavours are their lemon curd, maple bacon, vanilla, and salted caramel. I also need to mention that their savoury sandwiches are great as well. They use their mini doughnut bread as the base of their sandwiches, which work perfectly with all the savoury components of the sandwich. The reasons why I didn't give Jelly 5 stars, even though I really enjoy their doughnuts, are their price point and consistency. I find that they are quite pricey for what they are. The consistency with their doughnuts are sometimes a hit-and-miss. The last time I ordered a green tea doughnut I couldn't taste the green tea at all and instead it tasted lemony. On one occasion I ordered multiple maple bacon doughnuts and found that some of them had barely any bacon on top and some of them had no bacon glaze on them. Also, when I bought some doughnuts an hour before closing, some of the doughnuts were a lil bit on the dry side. I understand Jelly is quite busy, between making their catering orders and store orders so I can see why mistakes like this could sometimes happen. Service is not bad, usually they have 1 or 2 people at the front taking orders. The store itself is quite busy so regardless of how many people are working it takes time to get through the line-up. The store atmosphere is modern, bright, and cute. I enjoy walking into Jelly and smelling all the tasty baking and glazing coming from the back of the store. Overall, Jelly is great and I definitely recommend their mini doughnuts so you can taste more flavours without getting fully too quickly. Or just grab the full size doughnuts and just stuff yourself!

    Wow... what dry doughnuts. I was really excited to try this place, but so disappointed. Did not taste like fresh doughnuts at all. Also, I did not enjoy the chocolate icing/dip... tasted too bitter. Now I know, won't be back.

    Pink! Zipping through downtown with a friend I couldn't help but notice this bright pink shop on the corner of the street, I had to take a peek inside. Lucky me I found doughnuts yum! what a crazy selection of doughnuts this place has, its great! Jelly's definitely has something for everyone from a classic vanilla or you can pick the monthly specials like Creamsicle. But I think my favourite one is the carrot cake. Mind you I was so distracted by all the little details in this shop from all the pink girly glam in the decor down to the details on the pastries. My favourite part would be the pink M&Ms that added to the Decour but were also added to my doughnut box.

    Move over cupcakes! There's a new nut in town... a doughy one at that. Jelly Modern Doughnuts is a new take on an old treat in C-town. Gourmet doughnuts that you just aren't going to find elsewhere. S'more, carrot cake, red velvet, raspberry, peanut butter, banana chocolate... I came home with a box of real lookers. You can bet I tried I bite of each one. The chocolate banana is where it's at for me. Like a deep-fried ring of banana bready goodness, it'll have you slipping away into doughnut delight. Price-wise, these big bites come in at $2.25 apiece. Another treat by the counter, an array of a dozen doughnuts, all themed for Easter. Custom orders! They even come with a clear tray on which to display them. My oh my, you've just raised the doughnut bar. Good thing-too many more of these and I won't fit under it anyway ;).

    OUTSTANDING DOUGHNUTTERY! And I lived in Portland Or, home of VooDoo, and this is better. Much better. The donuts here are not overly sweet and the flavors are bold and fresh. The Coconut donut might be the best I've ver had. And the blueberry cream was lush, thick lavish! If one of these donut came to live, I would marry it. Sorry dear wife.

    #160 Lazy Saturday is the best time 4 a classic Jelly doughnut. Popped in just be4 closing, 1 classic Jelly 2 go. Always smells so good; the aroma of maple, bacon, berries and more. What's not 2 love? This is what happens when U listen 2 Prince and married 18 years younger. U lose the ability to type a complete proper sentence. At least 4 the moment, the friendly service mutes all this. Deliverance of 1 classic jelly with powered sugar (I always expect a classic Jelly glazed but I must B the only 1). I got lucky today as usually when I make the trek to Jelly Modern Doughnuts, either on 8th St SW or at the Calgary Farmers Market, the classic Jelly had already left the building. Be4 I go, I personally recommend the baple macon or the peanut butter cup chocolate one (2nd to classic Jelly of course). I am sure they have other kinds of doughnuts; no really, I just never notice them. Sweet tooth filled, sweetness restored.

    I can't believe this is my first time trying this place! My friends and I came here for a study break and there isn't much to say except that these are some delicious doughnuts! The interior of this place is really bright and pink and they have a variety of different doughnuts to try, including a maple bacon one ... Who doesn't love bacon!? They even have some gluten free ones! You've gotta try this place! Most unique doughnuts in the city!

    Coconut, maple bacon, carrot cake
