I come here almost every Saturday morning. These are hands down the best apple fritters I've ever had. All other donuts are also exceptional but the freshness of everything is unreal. You gotta try this place, there isn't another donut shop around Sacramento that can lay a finger on this place. read more

My usual donut shoppe was closed for the holidays so I decided to venture out and try some highly rated places on Yelp. I went to Jimmy's donuts on a cold Sunday morning to give them a shot. Located in Rio Linda, Jimmy's Donuts looks like a place from yesteryear. It has an old looking facade and not a whole lot of modern touches anywhere. I'm not sure how long Jimmy's has been in operation, but from the looks of it, it's been a long time. Jimmy's has all the classic donuts that you could be looking for. There are the rounds, the bars, the old fashioned, buttermilk, etc. You can also get larger treats like bear claws and fritters. I went ahead and got a little more than a dozen so that I could get a good taste of how these donuts were. In all, I'd say the donuts were extremely solid. I was a little wary of the maple donuts at first because the maple they put on the top looked a little paler than I'm used to seeing, but it was still good. In fact, the chocolate and maple toppings had a nice light touch to them. You can't go wrong with these donuts as they are classic and are made just the way they should be. One surprise from Jimmy's had to be the custard filling that they used. They actually had some bars filled with custard, which I thought was unique. I gave one a try and genuinely thought it was a great idea that other places should do as well. I love custard so the more the better. There were also bear claws filled with apple. Again, I hadn't seen this sort of thing done at most places so I'd have to give Jimmy's credit for having a few unique offerings. If you're thirsty, there are a number of drink options that you can select from out of the cold cases to the right of the store. Jimmy's is a simple operation without much frill. That's totally ok as they aren't trying to be more than what they are - a solid donut shop. read more

The donuts are good, i mean what donut isnt? I go here often to pick up some donuts for my family.

Delicious local donuts!!!! I love supporting small businesses and this little joint is one of the reasons why I love to do so. The donuts were so tasty and so fresh. If you're looking for a quick bite, I recommend Jimmy's. I can't stop thinking about that cinnamon roll. read more

I cannot believe the quality of this ham Swiss and egg croissant. Hardly anything inside, see the picture. I remember really enjoying these at this location not long ago. Service was friendly and the shop was clean. The price of sunny d at $4 seems completely unreasonable though. Overall prices are decent, but I am very disappointed with the food today. Will not likely be back. read more

I can honestly say these are the best donuts in Sacramento. They were warm, fresh, and delicious

6:30am Donuts are cold, don't leave out your donut holes in the counter, because it's convenient for you. you need to keep that under a warmer. They are good donuts very fluffy, just kind of cold. read more

Such a local jewel - love the ham and cheese croissants they are the best ! Thank you for supplying our community with delicious donuts for so many years . read more

Great donuts, great service patronize your local vendors if you enjoy your carbohydrates fix!

These donuts are SO good!! The kiddos loved the donut holes and the owners are so sweet and patient *it took awhile for my son to decide what big donut he wanted*! Will definitely be going back read more

I don't know how they do it, but their freshly made scrambled eggs are always fluffy despite being cooked in the microwave. Their breakfast croissants are amazing! I can't leave this store without getting one (or more.) And I love their all buttermilk bars, cream filled maple bars and donut holes. Everyone is so super nice, they deserve more business and support. FYI...cash only. read more

Small mom and pop donut shop. Pick up only. There's no place to sit. Fresh donuts made daily. Try their croissant sandwiches, I have no idea what they put in there but they are fantastic!!! read more

Students and staff loved them when I brought them to school. Great donuts and customer service!

This place opens early and has a great selection of donuts. You can also grab a bevy and be in your way. Prices are reasonable.

Jimmy's has the best donuts I have ever tasted and the family is super nice. Always great service. You have to try their old fashioned and apple fritters. read more

The best fresh donuts, great variety, and well stocked! Everyone is kind and the establishment is clean. For jelly lovers they will fill one fresh for you if they have sold out! read more

The only reason why I do not recommend this business is because every time you go in there to use your ATM or credit card they're charging you $.50. Even if your one person that's on a budget doesn't mean you should give out more money. I do not see times getting any easier for anyone. That's why I do not go here any more. The people that work there or owner seem pretty nice. But nice does not put money back in our pockets. Everybody wants a free hand out these days. But look at yourself and think when did you get a free hand out. Only thing I'm saying is that businesses need to quit pickling diamine customers. read more

Great donuts and more...definitely try their ham and cheese croissants...I don't know why this says they are closed....they are open everyday... read more

We always stop by when we are in Rio Linda and craving donuts. The people seem nice and they always have some in stock. The donuts are good, but nothing fancy. No cronuts here. It's in the same place as Amys Cafe Chinese food. We bought some bars and a dozen donut holes came out to $3.70. They do only accept cash and I don't really carry any most of the time. Even food trucks accept visa through their tablets. We will be back, but of course only when we have some change on us. We like supporting local business. read more

Best lemon filled donut, the icing/filling/ donut batter is truly the best tasting. Well worth the twenty minute travel

They've definitely upped their donut game! Get there early for the best selection & microwave your donut for 8 seconds too! Yum.

We've been enjoying Jimmy's Donuts for many years! My husband loves the twisted maple bars and the fact that the quality is consistently excellent. I'm a fan of the chocolate cake donuts. We always purchase a dozen for my horseshoer on the days he trims the horses hooves. He lives in Elk Grove and says he can't find any donuts as delicious as Jimmy's! Get there early! They go fast! read more

They were a bit over priced considering they weren't all that good. The women who helped me was very nice though

I feel very welcomed when I order from Jimmy's all staff are super kind. My mother and I were a regular before Covid hit we would take the kids to school and catch up inside while we drank our coffee or ate a donut. The food the coffees are all fabulous. The donuts are so great and fresh and their prices are awesome. I love my local donut shop I've been ordering and eating from this place since I was in high school any chance or craving I get is always satisfied at Jimmy's. Keep up the great work and kindness to your customers. read more

There donuts are amazing and their coffee is super cheap and good! I like that they add donut holes to make your payment even.

I've been here twice so far and plan on coming back many times. The donuts are delicious! My favorite is the bear claw but they are all delicious. read more

Our one stop before school donut shop. They have everything you could want including apple fritters, bear claws, old fashioned, cinnamon rolls, and my fav-SPRINKLES! Can't even drive past the place without the kids begging to stop by. Friendly staff all 100 times Ive been in. They sell sodas, juice, coffees and ham and cheese sandwhiches.If you ever stop in, grab me a choco sprinkled donut please :) read more

The donuts sadly are only about average. But this place is saved by their amazing ham and cheese croissants. The cheese is strong and the ham rich and the croissant baked around the molten mess is flaky and buttery. I could eat about three. read more

Hands down the best donut shop a little town can ask for. There is always a huge assortment of donuts and fresh all the time. I love the lady that helps me from behind the counter, and she always throws in an extra donut to try or some donut holes to share with my daughter (if they make it home). YUMMY!! Price is just right too! Thank You Jimmy's Donuts for being wonderfully around the corner from my work! read more

Awesome, fresh best donuts in Rio Linda- love this place - If your ever in Rio Linda make sure you stop by snd grab a few donuts - you'll be glad you did. read more

Donuts are great. I picked up the premium dozen. Though randomly selected, it was a bit apple filling heavy... Bear claws and fritters. Each donut was soft on the inside, slightly crunchy on the outside, and all delicious. Service was nice. I wish they took my card. I had to go to the ATM in the gas station next door to grab some cash. Otherwise, I had a pleasant experience. read more

Went once last year and the donuts were really good and fresh. Very nice workers and the place was clean

Very good. Always friendly and tasty. I come here from Sacramento at times Bc I really love their chocolate French twist doughnuts. They're not heavy, and have the perfect amount of chocolate and dough/flour. I do have to say tho, I think their milk is high priced. read more

They have some of the freshest, delicious apple fritters. Try the ham and cheese crescents.

I come here more often than I should admit and will continue to return based on the fact their donuts are super fresh. No need to get up early on a Sunday because this place has fresh donuts late. read more

Hidden in the heart of Rio Linda. A gem of a donut shop. Bring cash, no checks or atm (Rio Linda any surprise?) friendly service quality products. read more

I like this place. They always have a great selection for my family's saturday morning donut run, and a great selection of drinks to go with. If you want something more substantial then sugar, try their croissants with ham and cheese in them. Yum! The big negative is that they only take cash. And it's not like there is a big assortment of banks here in Rio Linda. If you dont have cash, better go back and get it. I keep reminding them they need to get a credit card machine! ! They are nice enough to nod and smile and me... All the while completely ignoring me. :) Cash is elusive and always seems to disappear from my possession! Get a credit card machine so I don't have to mutter and swear all the way back home or the ATM to get money! Seriously, I will pay the fee!! read more

One of the best donut shops Ive been too mainly because of the customer service it's excellent ive never had any problems here. One time before school i went in there with 5 dollars and asked her how much i can get and she let me order and told me when to stop and i left with 3 donuts and a bag of donut holes. Totally worth it all read more

I don't like that it's cash only, but it makes up for it with delicious doughnuts and wonderful service there.

I always stop here when riding my bike through Rio Linda. Good coffee and donuts. Don't miss it!
