The best donuts!! Seriously. Never was much of a glazed donut fan. Too much glaze and bread that flattens. Not Jelly Donuts!! These are perfectly glazed! Bread that is heavenly. I realized after I had a donut hole. Her cake donuts are also delish. There is a spice in the bread that I cannot put my taste buds on. My coworker says her filled are really really good! And we always get service with a smile! You have not had a donut until you try these. If you have never tried these you are missing out. Stop in for a smile and a sweet treat. read more

Not the best experience. I wasn't greeted, which made things feel awkward--almost like I was inconveniencing the staff by ordering, aka existing. My total was $9, at $2.25 per donut, which felt a little pricey, but the real deciding factor was the taste. Maybe it would've been worth it iffff they tasted good, but they were too dry for my liking. I'm sure some people love them; I'm just not one of those people. read more

I LOVE the donuts there!!!! The maple is PHENOMENAL. Custard filled bars.... Maple raised. Maple old fashioned. Apple fritters are AMAZING as well. read more

Grabbed 2 dozen assorted donuts to take to a client I was visiting. $40 for 2 dozen assorted donuts was a bit steep, I'm from OC and don't typically see those prices from a mom & pop shop. Also, I noticed she filled the box with mostly glazed regular donuts, hardly any sprinkle or cake donuts. Service was good but next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to checkout some other donut shops in the area. read more

The best donuts around. Go here often and am never, ever disappointed. Everything they make is great but my favoritesnare their old fashioneds, their cruellers, maple bars, and apple fritters. read more

Got a dozen donuts and 2 dozen donut holes. Wanted 6 glaze and 6 chocolate. They put in some chocolate sprinkle ones which I didn't ask for or want. So make sure you open your donut box and check you got the right ones. Taste: A bit pricey and the sizes are small but the taste is amazing, except the chocolate sprinkle ones which no one wanted. Service: Everyone working there is nice and personable. Overall, taste was great. But 2 stars down for giving me 2 chocolate sprinkles. With the price of them that should never happen. It was a simple order. Not sure if I would go back. read more

Big selection of jelly donuts. They taste great and are well made. Cash only and rip off ATM machine loses points here. I'd probably grab a donut here now and again. read more

This is the best donut shop. Fresh and local, and honestly the best flavors and textures. Balanced and never too much. I am an early regular and the fam always has been making donuts for hours before I arrive at opening time (4:30 am). I appreciate and treasure these folks. Try the blueberry donut, chocolate donut (not just the glaze, the whole shebang) and the jelly-filled. They are not just talk or niceties- you will be so happy after you taste their donuts. read more

The Jelly Donut is a Pleasanton staple for a reason. The donuts are fresh, light and delicious, the owners are kind and warm, the ambiance is small-town and cozy--everything you could want from your neighborhood donut shop. As a custard lover, I rate donut places by their custard. The Jelly Donut is one of the only places I've tried that gets it just right. I've been taking my son here since he was a toddler; I feel like the owners have watched him grow up, and they always remark on how big he's gotten. I hope this place is around for my grandchildren. read more

My daughter and I were out finishing our Christmas shopping. I wanted a couple custard filled donuts which are hard to find. Most donut shops serve "jelly" donuts. So I Googled donut shops near me, we were in Pleasanton, on there Google ad I though I saw the custard powder sugar donuts that I was looking for in their pictures. I called them and yes they serve them. She held 3 for me. My daughter and I arrived shortly after and were very impressed with their selection. They have tables to sit. The atmosphere is normal for a donut shop. My daughter loves the donut with regular sugar on it. Also sometimes hard to find. We were helped by a middle age woman and a young man I assume was her son. Family businesses are awesome! They gave us our orders and added a "free" duplicate sugar donut for my daughter and several munchkin type glazed donuts with my order. That was very kind of them. I will definitely keep them in mind and return. I will also refer them to family & friends. Thank you "The Jelly Donut" shop!! read more

The donuts were fresh, soft, & light. We tried the glazed, jelly filled glazed, Boston crème, original, blueberry cake, & an apple fritter. Our favs were glazed & the original cake. Only complaint was the jelly filling wasn't our fav- maybe it was mixed berry flavored, but I would've preferred strawberry. read more

This is our go-to establishment for donuts. We go every few weeks - when we have friends over for brunch, when we want to celebrate a good soccer game, or just because on some days there is nothing better for the soul than sinking one's teeth into a perfect donut! The missus prefers their crullers and maple donuts, our younger one anything with sprinkles on it, our older one the chocolate eclairs, and I go for the jelly-filled ones - the gooier and drippier the better! There's lots of parking and the prices are reasonable. They are super friendly and the lady who runs it usually adds in a complementary donut into our box! We will be back!! read more

The Jelly Donut - Selection around 11 am - go early if you can! - Donuts Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Delicious donuts. A great variety of flavors. A super clean and friendly establishment. Advanced orders welcomed. Amazing, top-notch, professional customer service. I came here based on a recommendation and was not disappointed! I was doing a staff appreciation event and had a lot of donuts to order. I asked them to attach signs to the donut boxes and put flags on the donuts so that people could easily get their donuts without touching anyone else's donuts. I realize that this was a pretty unique request but they had no problem fulfilling the request exactly how I wanted. I would definitely use them again for a large event and their donuts were so good. I would definitely go there again for donuts.!!! read more

Pretty wide range of donuts that this places carries. Since I knew I would be in the area, I scoped this place out for its rave reviews and got one dozen with half normal and half of their fancy donuts including plain glazed, sprinkle donuts, sugar coated, custard-filled, cinnamon roll, apple fritter, and jelly-filled varieties. The filled donuts had a minimal amount of filling and the dough for all of them except for the cinnamon roll (maybe because it had a lot of glaze) was pretty dry. The lady that helped us was very attentive and friendly, but I would not come back here if I wanted a good donut in the area although the people I got the donuts for would disagree. read more

I stopped by here for a quick pick-me-up on my way to pharmacy at Rite Aid, and boy these doughnuts were just what I needed!! So many options to choose from and so prettily decorated!

How do you show someone you love them? Buy them donuts. Valentine's Day calls for, sometimes, special things. Today, I needed this. And, for sure, I'm not the only one. A line 15 deep tells all. The one negative is that they don't have too much variety. Give me MORE. I've never been before, but what I experienced at The Jelly Donut is FLUFFY, good oil, and very fresh. My love and I tried a cinnamon roll, a special heart-shaped donut, and a chocolate custard. Score. read more

I have been searching far and wide for a Cherry icing donut in the Bay Area. Not cherry-filled, but cherry iced. Countless donut shop owners are either curt or give me the stink eye when I see they have strawberry icing donuts and I ask if they do cherry icing because it's so hard to find. And unless I'm out of my mind, I don't believe that cherry and strawberry are too far off from each other. And then if everybody is so gung ho to do strawberry out here, is it a crazy idea to ask for a cherry iced donut?​ There are few places who do it, and this is one of them. I love how early they're open and the early birds do get the worm. Donuts are a little pricy but well worth the visit. read more

No better donut spot. Went for an apple fritter and donut holes this morning. Nobody makes apple fritters like they do. It was still hot and melted in my mouth. The perfect texture, flavor, and size- ie. Big enough to pretend you'll share when you have absolutely no intention of doing so. They always sneak in an extra surprise donut so you can try something you wouldn't normally. So happy to support my favorite family owned donut shop read more

Their donuts are fresh and delicious. I think they have the best donuts between all of the livermore and pleasanton donut shops. Stopped here on a weekday morning and they had a large selection of donuts and not a long wait. The staff was friendly and efficient. A raised donut is $2/each and they accepted credit cards ($5 min. purchase) read more

I was in the area and wanted to try a new donut place and came upon this one. I love that their donuts were fluffy and big. You can also get your donuts filled and that's what I did. I got my 4 caramel glazed long johns filled with custard cream and boy it was one of the good ones I had. I also got me some chocolate glazed donuts. The sweetness was on point, not too sweet that you can make yourself sick but sweet enough that you can finish 2 in one sitting (of course with a cup of coffee). The donuts I got costs me a bit on an expensive side. I came right when they opened so the donuts were fresh and ready for me to devour. People kept coming in when I was there so I knew that their donut was legit. Family owned and very friendly. read more

I never thought there could be a bad pizza or bad donut. It's more that it's just not the BEST you've ever had. And that's the case with my experience at The Jelly Donut. I've had this bookmarked on my list cuz of its high 4.5 star rating. I got my typical fave, glazed twist and an Apple fritter. I could taste the oil and fried-ness of the donuts and personally that's not my preferred taste when eating my donuts. I like a light yet thick fluffy doughnut. Later I tried the Apple fritter and again could taste the oil and fried batter. There wasn't much cinnamon or apples inside. I did end up throwing the rest away because I had to cut my losses of calories vs enjoyment. From the wise words of my bf - "Was the juice worth the bite?" And my answer unfortunately would be No, not worth it today. So sorry Jelly Donut. read more

Had a craving donuts this morning so I figured to stop by a donut shop to bring some in for my coworkers. Love that this place is literally minutes away from where I work. The lady who helped me was helping another gentleman. And she seems to know who her regulars are. Loved the service that she provided the man before me. And when it came to my turn, she was quick & efficient. I ordered a dozen donuts & she gave me one for free. her customer service skills was definitely A-1! read more

Doughnut have to be made a certain way for me to enjoy them! These do not disappoint I enjoyed these donuts twice while I was in Dublin and both times I thought they were super delicious. For me if you doughnut is cooked and I can taste the grease on the top of my mouth that classifies it as disgusting. These were perfectly cooked myself and my classmates enjoyed them. I was particularly fond of the glazed and the sugar glazed donuts they tasted really good and I'm glad that I got them. A little less than $13 for a dozen sounds about right! read more

The blueberry... If you like eating blueberries this donut is delish! They do have a wide selection of donuts here including buttermilk donuts which was also good but between that and the old-fashioned I got and the blueberry, the blueberry hits. Only thing I would say are that the donuts could be priced a little bit lower but nevertheless they are satisfying indeed. I would have attached photos but I honestly ate everything before I thought about taking photos read more

Every two years, I have to recertify my Advanced First Aid and CPR credentials. This means I stress over performing essentially the same skills I've certified for over the last 37 years. What better way to relieve my anxiety than to bring some donuts into class? On my way in, I checked Yelp to see who made decent donuts in the Pleasanton/Dublin area. The Jelly Donut seems to have its shares of fans and positive ratings so that's where I went. Two people working the front counter and at least one more frying more donuts in the back. The two worked efficiently and independently. There was a small but constant line of customers waiting to order or pick-up an order. I ordered 1-1/2 dozen assorted with 6 Jelly's and the rest assorted. I guess I haven't bought donuts in awhile because I was surprised to see that plain cake donuts were $16 a dozen. My 18 cost $34 plus the tip I put in the tip jar. The donuts were very fresh and flavorul. I had 1/2 Cruller and 1/2 Jelly Donut. Both were pillowy and delicious. I ended up with powdered sugar all over my dark blue t-shirt and a bit of a sugar rush that helped me plow through the day. The only disappointment is one that comes from greed. What? No free donut holes or a bakers dozen? read more

One perfect donut can make your day so much better. I tried one jelly donut from The Jelly Donut and it instantly transformed my day. Instead of thinking about work, I began to ponder how a donut could be so perfectly delicious and fluffy. I wondered when I could try another one. I contemplated how many I would want next time. A few inches of centered filling away from sheer perfection. Give em a try. read more
