    This donut shop has some of the freshest and tastiest donuts. I love their staff, so friendly, cordial and they remember their customers. I've been here about 3 times and the staff remembered how my favorite donut is the buttermilk. If you haven't tried their buttermilk donut, YOU NEED TO RIGHT NOW. It's the best I've had EVER. Plenty of parking and lots of donuts to choose from! Check them out if you're in the area

    The donuts are delicious, I've been here a few times. The staff is friendly and the location is convenient. I recommend this place to everyone.

    This donut shop has come in so handy for a quick pick me up or teacher/work/class appreciation treat! It's just a block from my house. They make no frills donuts that are always fresh and delicious. You won't find any crazy animal shaped donuts or cronuts at this place. It's a family owned business and they are very friendly. Located in an outside complex that has ample parking. They take cash and unlike other donut shops they also take cards and Apple Pay. My only complaint is the price. Didn't realize that it went up quite a bit. I got a dozen mixed donuts for teacher appreciation week, they threw in a few donut holes, and paid nearly $20. I get the inflation prices but that's a little crazy to me.

    1 1/2 minute read: MANY YELPERS normally will not have a planned itinerary, when they visit establishments. At least I don't. Meaning, with JOLLY DONUTS, I didn't specifically PLAN on going there. While driving, I happened to be dreaming about my two favorite MAPLE BAR &POWDERED LEMON FILLED. Then, without expecting it, I saw the Jolly Donut shop. Parking is not that abundant but I didn't have trouble looking for a space. Their menu offers all the favorite donuts people may like. The also have cold/hot sandwiches, cookies, Thai Tea, drinks and H2O too. I usually ask the The Attendant their name, but I forgot. That day, the Cashier was a young beautiful lady, courteous, and service minded. When I stumble there again, I'll make sure I introduce myself and ask THEIR name.

    Banana Nut, Muffin is delicious

    Seriously one of the best banana muffins I ever tried. Coming back just for that, the donuts are good also, but the muffin is the way to go

    Ham, bacon, egg, and cheese

    Best bagel sandwiches I've ever had!! And donuts! So fresh, so perfectly portioned and SOOO GOOD! HIGHLY recommend the ham, bacon, egg, and cream cheese bagel-wich. All fresh ingredients, not eggs from a carton. I wish I had a better photo but I couldn't stop eating lol

    Super yummy delicious fresh donuts! Is no wonder this location has been here for so many years! No oily residue left in your mouth and super fluffy specially if you come early in the morning.

    (Dined 02/18/15 W @ 3:30pm): No bearded fat jolly man in a red velvet suit, but a middle-aged woman more than filled the happy quotient! I'd been hankering for an apple fritter and boba for awhile now, and the contractor I was to meet in the area was running late, so I decided to walk to Jolly Donuts to finally satiate my urges for these sweet treats. I usually had my go-to places for each, but not being familiar with the offerings in the neighborhood, I took a shot. So, here was how things went: Apple Fritter ($1.75) - Not that I'm an apple fritter snob by any means, but there was a certain way I liked mine and sadly they didn't fulfill that. First off, I thought they didn't have any until the kind woman pointed them out to me; they looked like gigantic round glazed donuts. And, there were hardly any apple bits that warranted its name. I liked mine with plenty of apple pieces, an overall darker brown fried color and with crunchy odd corners, nooks and crannies that were easily broken off as small little morsels. Needless to say, this one realy disappointed me. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw [BOBA ALERT - 3 of 5 STARS] Mango Boba - Small ($3.25) - If this was a small (based on the price), I wondered what the large looked like! With that being said, there was obvious value. The drink was filled with an abundance of boba but not so much that it took over the container. But, the boba was a bit too chewy for me as if I were eating a Tootsie Roll. The mango flavoring appeared to have real tiny bits of fruit, but overall, the flavor was muted, weak and not very sweet at all. Not a deal-breaker but I simply wanted it to taste more like mango. I'd give them another shot with a different flavor. Service - I was the only customer at the time, so as soon as I entered and tripped the door chime, poof, out from behind a wall a kind Hispanic woman appeared. She quickly took my order, immediately gave me my apple fritter in a bag, and deftly created my mango boba drink right before my eyes. Minutes later, my drink was done, I paid, and off I went to enjoy my snack at a nearby table. Easy-peasy. Parking (Free) - They shared a small lot with a handful of other businesses in a rundown strip mall at the corner of Coldwater Canyon Ave. and Vanowen St. Otherwise, there was plenty of free parking on all surrounding streets (please be mindful of any posted signs). Atmosphere, décor, ambience - Your typical donut/drinks/sandwich stand with the main feature the counter display of fried tasty pastries as you entered http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=k961Lkd1KM2n5L3YmIvZ8A, various packaged snacks placed on top of said counters, a refrigerator with cold drinks to your right and an old skool menu on top of it http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=AEWbN4WYa1iK-WSuN926bA, I think an ice cream cooler to your left, the kitchen directly behind the same counter http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=kLf11jymshqTMaGZTGhX_w, color drink menus up on the wall http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=bbratekM7KqULsijxO9P-g, and some random pages torn from a 2014 Asian women models calendar hung on the pastel green walls in the dining area. The dining area was quaint http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=PA0p7w9KnBTrWdlSLkuSvA while there was also an outdoor table, too. Natural lighting came through the large glass windows while fluorescent electric lighting hung from the ceiling. There were no TVs, but music played in the background. Attire - Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. Overall, Jolly Donuts filled the required needs for sustenance, and if I needed some boba I'd consider this joint when I'm back in the area...but no on the apple fritters. The other standard donut offerings looked fine, and they also made simple sandwiches. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total bill was around $5.45 before tip). Cash only, so of course they didn't accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 3.0 STARS

    Now I know what all these people are talking about this lovely Blinkie's donuts and the shop…read more Lately, I have been having a lot of sweet cravings. No, I am NOT pregnant. :-) just cravings like most people have. Walked in this morning around 10am & was greeted by couple of employees. Both very nice, sweet, helpful and kind. They have so many different donuts, croissants, sandwiches, hot and cold coffee, espresso, latte, bottled drinks and more.. They have an indoor and outdoor seating and the place is super cute and very clean, chill and you get what you pay for. I got a dozen donuts from them and tried one on my way home and it was just decadent, fresh, fluffy and the frosting isn't overly sweet. Has parking and a restroom for their customers! Will definitely return next time I am in the Encino area. Established back in 1960 & Winnie/the owner of the place took over ownership in February of 2023. Give this donut shop a try and you will be very satisfied!!:-))

    We stopped by for coffee and ordered the egg & ham croissants. While the presentation was lovely,…read morethe flavors felt a bit simple for our personal taste and didn't seem quite as fresh as we were hoping. The coffee also wasn't our favorite on this visit, so overall the food and drinks didn't fully stand out to us this time. That said, the space is truly beautiful and creates such a calm, inviting atmosphere to sit and relax. The service was especially warm, kind, and attentive, which we genuinely appreciated and made the experience feel welcoming. With so many glowing reviews, we'd absolutely be happy to come back to try the donuts and see what everyone is raving about. Hoping to have an even better experience next time
