Our favorite donut shop! The employees rock and are super friendly, and their donuts are just as delightful!

My daughter and I were running around doing some errands and we wanted craving some donuts. I looked up on Yelp and found Mr. J's Donut House. Based on the reviews, we decided to go. Mr. J's Donut House is located at a shopping center across from Big 5 on Alabama St and Redlands Blvd. There was plenty of parking spots in my personal opinion. When we get there, we were attended by Vincent. I ordered 3 donuts and some donut holes. Upon checkout, Vincent was very kind to my daughter that he gave her extra cream puffs. His generosity was very welcomed and my daughter was smiling and said Thank You. Our overall experience was great and the customer service received by outstanding. In my personal opinion, I would recommend Mr. J's Donut House. The donuts when we took the donuts home, they were made fresh and the made the experience memorable. We will definitely be returning to try other varieties they have. Thanks Again Vincent! read more

I'm a new man to the dessert portion of reviews but it's like dawg, how do you even scale a donut when most taste the same. Anyway I got a chocolate bar and it was nice and soft, chocolate flavor was great and so was the breading. Chocolate Bar Donut: 8.0 read more

Loved the variety, they have a few things many donut shops don't have. I like blueberry cake donuts and it was nice to see they had them as the donut shop near me doesn't. Everything was exceptionally fresh and tasted great, some things like the chocolate bar weren't too sweet which I liked. I tried the blended mocha and it was a bit watered down but it's a donut shop after all. Seemed to be pretty clean when I went as well and staff was quick to help me. Would come here again. read more

Mr J's is more than just donuts; you can see from my pics the variety that is sold here. But for us, today is apple fritter day. This is a busy parking lot on a busy intersection; use your GPS for best way to get to this location. Even though I was there for an apple fritter, I liked the wide variety of donuts that they offered. While eating there, we saw a customer pick up his pre-ordered lunch togo and few employees from other local stores come in for mid-morning snacks - FYI. We started with their apple fritter. It was the appropriate size: large. But perhaps not as dense as some others. The outer edge was crunchy, as expected. The glazing was sweet but not super sweet (but here's where opinions may differ their glazing isn't as sweet as what I expected - which may suit some tastes better). The bottom side was a bit dry and the inside was barely moist. There were fair-sized apple bits distributed throughout the fritter. This fritter was okay. We finished with a chocolate cake donut. The icing was very chocolatey and was sweet, but not overly sweet. The cake donut was also chocolate but was mildly flavored. The cake donut, itself, was lighter than other cake doughs. read more

Best donuts in Southern California, hands down. Ignore the haters - they only like things shiny and new, regardless of quality. What you get at Mr. J's is QUALITY. These donuts are the same quality and lightness that they were when I first had them as a teller in college, when a Saturday manager brought them to the office for everyone - and I've been hooked since then. The atmosphere is perfect so ignore the haters - the shop is in an older building and the ambiance is fine. The place is clean and their donuts are perfect. I was so stoked to be here again after being gone for 19 years and finding the shop in the same location selling the same, high quality donuts and Apple fritters. Texas (where I currently live) has NOTHING on Mr. J's. read more

Best cream filled puffs. Soft moist airy dough and tasty vanilla flavor filling, topped with a touch of chocolate glazing just melts in your mouth. Egg roll with bits of ground meat (beef?) and veggies nicely cooked ( hint of sweetness from veggies' caramelization) leaves that flavorful taste in your mouth. Take away is wrapper isn't crunchy anymore (soft and saggy). Place clean and organized but cold reception by lady in front (shy maybe? Or busy?) Nevertheless food is worth coming back and most likely be back for more. read more

I don't know about the donuts but their eggrolls are killer. I hate it when I show up late and they sell out. It's a sad day when that happens. Go early, get your eggrolls, thank me later. read more

Donuts look so appetizing. Got my egg rolls and cream puffs to bring to my grandkids. Found a Yelp sticker on the glass countertop. Friendly gentleman greeted regular customers who came through the door with a smile. Very neat and peaceful seating area to relax and enjoy a donut or 2. read more

Clean place great ambience to pair with their always consistent delicious food. The service is quick and they listen to what you want. I'd go every day if possible. read more

The donuts are terrible and taste like they are two days old. They are so overcooked they were shriveled up. The grease was dripping out of the (maple bar) donut and was all over my hands that I attempted to consume. My daughter was lucky she got donut holes. My daughter asked why the donuts were so cheap and now we know! Needless to say we will not be going back to this shop!! read more

Update: I've been back 2 times since this review and I can confirm that their apple fritters have improved! There's more apple chunks in the fritters and are perfectly cinnamon apple-y :) I also tried their bearclaws and they just be the best I've ever had. LOTS of apple chunks and the filling isn't overly sweet. The donut holes are perfect as usual along with the other donuts. read more

Egg rolls were good! But the donuts were not great. They tasted like they had been sitting out for a day already. Lots of donut places out there, so this wasn't anything spectacular. The egg rolls were worth a try though, still not amazing enough for me to come back. They had this cool plum condiment sauce to go with the egg rolls. It's a light sauce though, wish the plum flavor was stronger! 3 donuts and egg rolls cost about $11 with a 50 cent charge using a card. read more

Normally this place is pretty good, but today my boss brought us all donuts. Let me just say I was so freaking disgusted. There was a hair in my donut. My mind immediately tried justifying it. I told myself "maybe it's my hair and it fell on the donut." When I proceeded to remove the hair, I noticed it was under the glaze. I was just appalled and truly couldn't believe it. I don't even know if they wear hair nets, but if they don't they really should. read more

This might be the best donut spot in Redlands. Came here on a random day in the afternoon and they still had delicious donuts that tasted fresh. We ordered about 4 donuts and the gentleman there (possibly the owner?) gave us some donut holes too, which were amazing. We will definitely come back here for our donut cravings! read more

The custard filled and chocolate frosting donut is my favorite so yummy and delicious. Love all their donuts and even the egg rolls are delicious! You gotta try their egg rolls. Best donut shop in town and the owner, Randy, is the nicest guy. In addition, his workers Savarina (sp) and Vince are so polite and yet funny!!! Stop by and get a dozen donuts before they run out!!!! read more

This is our favorite redlands donut shop! We come here at least once a week. The donuts are always fresh, probably because they are extremely popular and busy so they are constantly making them. As others have mentioned, I especially love their homemade egg rolls. Ask for plum sauce on the side! The staff are wonderful and kind. They are always very sweet to my kids. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in town! Oh also, they make excellent Thai tea! read more

Service is always great and donuts are good and fairly priced compared to others. I can call ahead and order too so it is ready when I arrive read more

Just ordered from them Postmates. Great attention to detail reading the notes in the order & delicious quality donuts and bagels. Thank you Mr Js! read more

Walked in had a not so so donut shop smell the employee was sitting in a chair in the back eating we asked to use the restroom and the toilet did not have a toilet seat and piss stains all over the toilet along with graffiti inside the bathroom and bathroom mirror it was disgusting basically... and I got two maple bars that looked as if they were anorexic like they were the runts of the batch that were tossed in it was not very welcoming I reccomend Jenny's donut shop like maybe a couple minute drive away read more

Great place for donuts! I've been about 2 or 3 times now usually at night. The owner is very generous and would give us an extra donut or pastry. The donuts are delicious too! They are surprisingly very light and airy. My favorite is the simple glazed donut. read more

I was super excited to try this place because of the reviews, but honestly this place is average. The bars are long and thin, the frosting was thin on the maple bars. When I get a maple bar I want a thick doughnut. Its ok if its short, I want some doughnut. They take card which is a plus and the doughnuts were fresh thats a plus. They also have hot and cold drinks as well as your standard drinks in the case. They also do lotto if that is your thing, scratchers only I believe. They also allow you to choose fancier doyghnuts for an upcharge, 1 dozen mixed only cost 13.95 so thats q good deal to me. Come give this place a try, just because it wasnt amazing for me does not mean it will not be for you. Im a doughnut snob, but I would come back. read more

Ordered from doordash and my order was done before I could get there! Was greeted by the sweetest man who gave me two free donuts for my big order, even put extra free cream puffs in my box! Donuts were a 10/10, same with the service. Thanks for making my day! And for the delicious donuts! read more

Disgusting and dirty inside. I wish l would have taken pictures. I gave my donut away. I can't believe the 4 star rating! I will not be returning ever. read more

Amazing cream puffs coupled with exceptional service makes for a great establishment.

Best donuts in Redlands! Mr. J's donuts are well-constructed, perfectly cooked, and not greasy. Happy to support a local business!

This was about to be my go to spot for amazing pastries and donuts. But it seems they changed how they do things without any notice and overcharge for what they offer now. That's fine, I won't be spending $50 there again. Now don't get me wrong the donuts are good so are the egg rolls. But the rudeness that was displayed when trying to understand their changes to their policies will not be taken. I hope other people of color find other places to go to for sweets. As a matter of fact there is a amazing Mediterranean dessert place not to far from them. I urge others to go there over this place. I will never be back. Your getting a 2 star cause the donuts are good. Beyond that money is better spent elsewhere read more

Excellent!!! I tried this donut shop based on other reviews, so glad I did. The vanilla creme filled is outstanding, sometimes the cream is overly sweet, not here, they do it just right. I bought two, one for me and one for my granddaughter (if she doesn't wake up soon it's going to disappear) LOL. Donut dough is very light and soft. Customer service was as good as their donuts. read more

This place is absolutely yummy! Mr J's has very good donuts ! They are light and there is no greasy taste - the the kicker for us, no oil taste. They are open EVERY DAY and I have never been disappointed in my selection. Don't pass this shop up you will enjoy read more

The two stars because they offer delivery through a service. I don't know if it's because we ordered a dozen mixed for delivery or what but we got what seemed to be the dry old ones no one wanted. Not good at all and we weren't happy. read more

This place never let's us down. The donuts here are soft, sweet, and delicious. They are open 24/7 for anyone who gets donut cravings in the middle of the night. The owners are also very nice! read more

It's rare to find the little mom 'n pop 24hr donut shop these days. The staff is friendly, and their donuts and cream puffs are delicious!! I recommend stopping by early in the morning rather than a late night snack...if you want fresh donuts. Later in the day, sometimes those donuts have been sitting there for a while. Oh, and how did I know that this place would be good? Early in the morning, saw plenty of cop cars and postal trucks parked outside..lol. read more

Loved this place! Their hours are 4 am til 11 pm, plenty of time to get your donuts and egg rolls .Sorry for the previous review-I was just hungry! read more

I came yesterday and they were so friendly and the ham and cheese croissant and the glazed twist were delicious!!!! The croissant was big and warm it tasted fresh and the donut tasted fresh too. The iced coffee is also really good and they threw in 2 donut holes the price was very good too I will definitely be back read more

The shop is filthy. The bathrooms are filthy. The woman who helps run the shop (owners wife) is extremely rude. She never smiled, had a palpable contempt for me despite me buying a dozen donuts for my coworkers and tipping her well. I couldn't figure out why she'd be rude to a smiling paying customer. If I hadn't been in a hurry, I'd have never dropped a single cent in this shop. After all that, the donuts sucked: stale, hard, and absolutely lack-luster. I hope they read this, clean up their shop, and get some therapy for their jaded co-owner. Buyer beware... read more

They are the nicest people and have run a great business in redlands for a long time. Their donuts are great and it instills a classic old-time donut shop environment. Support your small Businesses and check this place out. Their Donut Hole/Cream Puffs are great. read more

One of my favorite donut spots. Famous for their cream puff. Everyone loves it when we buy it. Two flavors, custard and lemon. Reasonable price. If you want a big order, call ahead and they will have it ready for you other selections are good as well. Coffee can use some help though. read more
