Hands down the best donuts in reno! Ive been coming here for over 20 yrs and never let down.. Ive tried other places around town over the years but they dont compare. Other places are either too heavy and greasy , too dense or stale like. Jelly donut is perfectly light, soft , flavorful and not grainy. They have everything from the basics to donut holes to fritters to fruit burritos and other variety donuts.. they have another section in the shop that they have fruit danishes , croissants and fresh made sandwiches.. The owners and employees are always so nice and always say hello when you walk in. The shop screams old school like 80s/90s.. from the old yellow/brown tables and old tiles.. they are open 24 hrs so gotta run there for your drunken nights or midnight munchies ..lol read more

I grabbed a quick bite at The Jelly Donut's South Virginia location. I've been coming to this location for years but this is the first time I've actually sat in the shop and ate my donut. Most of the time we pop in to get donuts or their filled croissants because it's conveniently located next to the laundromat. When I walked in to the shoppe, they were devoid of customers, but the snell of freshly made donuts filled the air, and display case full of tempting delights; so, I immediately stepped up to the counter and order an apple fritter and a small coffee. The proprietress was super-nice and pleasant; she welcomed me as soon as I walked in and rang up my order with a smile. The apple fritter was huge, I thought I would be able to finish it but ended up saving half for later. Overall, my dining experience was pleasant, the donut was fresh, the coffee was good, the service was great and the price very reasonable: less than $5 for everything including tip; I don't know how this place isn't more popular. read more

I have passed this donut shop a million times over the years. We were in the neighborhood and my kids asked to grab a doughnut. I almost never say no because I want a bite. This is an established doughnut shop in the area with lots of foot traffic. It appeared to be family run and was fairly busy within minutes of arriving. Prices were better for our economy. I let my kids twist my arm in buying a dozen to try. Their doughnuts were great. We mixed and matched some of our usuals at other local shops. Jelly filled, Bavarian and oreo just to name a few, but we were surprised to see they had other flavors like pineapple coconut. In addition to serving smoothies, they serve milk teas. I wanted to order a few, but the line got long. There were grumpy people behind us yelling for faster service. Their card reader/network was slower when I checked. I couldn't wait to get out of there. My favorite part of this experience was their filled doughnuts weren't that sweet. We'll have to stop in again next time we're in the area. read more

This is one of those great old-school donut shops that is open 24 hours and serves up the classics. We stopped by early on Thanksgiving Day to grab boxes for the volunteers at the local Turkey Trot. The lady behind the counter was so welcoming and put three boxes of assorted donuts together with a lot of care; she made sure to put in a good variety in each box. These are not those fancy donuts with inflated prices, but the ones I grew up with: glazed, sprinkles, twists, and my favorite, crumb. The Jelly Donut has been around for a long time; you can tell that the shop is older, but that's fine as the donuts were great! read more

This place is awesome! So many donuts to choose from and the couple running the place were so sweet. We chose a few of our favorites to have later and got a few for breakfast as well. The apple fritters were bigger than my hand and were wonderful. Prices were great and this place being open 24 hours is something pretty special and rare. If you're in the area and you're having a craving for a doughnut this is definitely your place. They're fully stocked in the late afternoon and I'm assuming it's the same in the evening. Just look for the old vintage sign and come on in. It really has a donut shop and not just a laundromat on this corner. read more

This is a solid OG donut spot. Open 24/7, fresh donuts all the time. They have an assortment of your traditional donut shop favorites and they also carry some fun options too. Maple bacon, coconut pineapple, and apple or cherry burrito are a few "different" options you can try. Whatever you get, their donuts are always consistent, you know what you're getting. A dozen for $13.99 is a pretty good deal for fresh donuts. They added a few extra donuts for free, which was very kind. Customer service is great! Very friendly and quick! They have tables and chairs inside, if you're looking to eat there. Otherwise, you can be in and out to pick up donuts. This is definitely the neighborhood go to donut shop. read more

Driving around taking care of some business in Midtown and had a craving for a doughnut. I've been a while since I had one here. I always liked the apple fritter and the bear claw. Go let us know when they were making the buttermilk donuts (around midnight) Get some fresh out of the fryer. Still hot. They would literally melt in your mouth. Always was a great late night snack lol. I know they changed owners a couple of times so not sure the baker's schedule. What I got: Apple fritter Bavarian cream filled chocolate Cookies and cream filled The apple fritter was a bit overcooked as you can see in the picture. A little crunchy on the outside edge other than that, Good donuts for a good price. $2.25 for the larger donuts. counter was pretty nice so all around a good experience read more

I was a bit skeptical about trying Jelly Donut's chocolate donuts topped with Fruity Pebbles, but wow! That crunchy topping totally won me over! The chocolate donut itself is rich and soft, and the Fruity Pebbles add an unexpected, satisfying crunch that makes it stand out from any donut I've had before. Holy cow! That crunch on top is next-level. Now, about the apple treats the ginormous apple fritter is everything you want in a classic fritter: crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, with pockets of sweet, cinnamon-spiced apple throughout. It's huge and indulgent but not too heavy. Then there's the huge apple burrito -- a flaky, light pastry rolled around a generous filling of warm, delicious apple goodness. It's perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and spice, and the flaky layers add a lovely texture that makes every bite a delight. Both apple treats are amazing in their own way, and I can't recommend them enough! We got a dozen donuts haven't tried all of them yet but the ones I did try are Scrumptious. If you haven't tried Jelly Donut yet what are you waiting for go get you some! Enjoy! read more

This donut shop has a wide assortment of donuts and sandwich selections. I went in just for a coffee and a donut. I chose the apple bear claw. It was so large and loaded with filling that I could only eat half. Maybe next time I'll try their cake donut or donut holes. The staff was friendly and served us quickly. There is indoor seating and a small parking lot out front. I went on a Saturday at lunchtime and the small parking (shared with Coin Laundry next door) was almost full. read more

While driving around Reno for the past 20+years, I've seen The Jelly Donut thinking this place must be great since they've been around so long. We'll tonight we finally tried it! There was seating available inside, but seemed a bit cluttered. Didn't matter much to me as we were trying to grab and go. I didn't see any jelly donuts available...my rule of thumb is to get whatever the place is named after when possible, but I did get a crumb cake donut and a small coffee. The donut was excellent,very well balanced, not too heavy or too sweet. As well as soft and fresh. The sign said open 24 hours, and I could see the mixer in the back filled with dough for what I presumed is the next batch. I would definitely recommend this one if you haven't tried it. I ordered a small coffee, which required a new pot to be brewed, and.... I would skip the coffee next time. We did see this cutout on the way out, so I had my wife jump in for a pic. She did...in fact...deserve a donut. read more

The blueberry fritter was $2.50 and was without a doubt one of the best fritters I have ever had. This is the deal of the century. Excellent brown crisp on the outside. Crunchy along the rim, moist and chewy inside, plenty of fruit. This is something you would expect to find at a boutique donut shop. Amazing. read more

Had a hankering for apple fritter so stopped by this one. Went at a slow time, but the employee (who was hanging outside) was quick to follow me in and ready to serve! I got the apple fritter and was pleasantly surprised to see blueberry fritter was available as well! So, got both. They were okay, although I would prefer my fritter to be less doughy and have more apple/ blueberries. read more

I was jones-ing for some donuts, and as I was near midtown/Plumb, The Jelly Donut was the place to go. This long-established donut shop still provides a great value when you need a fix of chocolate old-fashioned or a cake donut. Parking can be hit-or-miss, but there is both front-side and back-side spots. The people are friendly, and you can get a good assortment of choices if you get there early. read more

I used to get donuts there regularly, several years ago. I went in recently, and the very angry girl working there was in the bathroom for 5 minutes, leaving the shop unattended. When she finally deigned to Grace me with her presence, & came out, she was grumbling under her breath about something, and hadn't finished washing her hands. I walked out, & will never go back. Plenty of other places to get donuts in this town. read more

Easily my favorite place to get doughnuts. Being from Reno It's more of a nostalgic thing to get doughnuts at this location. I love that the doughnuts here are always yeasty and original. They always make an effort here to have an appetizing appearance like they belong as a prop in a movie that involves doughnuts. The price of these doughnuts has always stayed reasonable and if you're looking for a good doughnut this is the place! read more

Both Jelly Donuts in Reno are phenomenal. They are run by the sweetest people. Love supporting this business!!!!

i went in the morning before work with a coworker. I ordered before him and upon him recIrving his food before me he asked the mom where was mine, she ignored him so he then asked the son . The son then asked his mom to start the order but she refused.. I felt the sense of hatred so I told her to not worry about the breakfast sandwich she then responded 'thank you'.. Very Rude ! No matter who runs the country we need to do better as a people. read more

Great donuts at fair prices! Freshly made, quiet environment and a great place to wait while doing laundry next door.

First time visiting this donut shop. Surprised on a Sunday evening, the case was fairly full of a variety of donuts. Why 5 stars?... just because they are open 24 hours, and the variety of donuts, the price for a mixed dozen donuts of $9.99 and the taste! Fluffy and not airy.. and just enough frosting... Hopefully, the next trip, I can get a hot donut and maybe try the apple fritter. read more

Ordered two glazed, one glazed with chocolate, and half a dozen of donut holes. The donuts are on the doughy side, not as airy and fluffy when you bite into it. The donut holes weren't as soft and sweet as I've had in other donut shops. Service is good, it wasn't too busy at 11am. Parking was packed. read more

Another diamond in the rough, hiding right in midtown! Great old fashioned doughnuts with yummy flavors. No fancy sprinkles here. If you show up on Tuesdays, there is a discount on most doughnuts! If you're looking for unusual toppings or flavors, you know you can go elsewhere. But if you're looking for old style doughnuts that are chewy and dense, please go to this place! read more

Don't come at 9 pm cuz all you're gonna get is the donuts that are leftover and they're about to toss in the garbage. They put out the new fresher batch after 10 pm. I tried to talk him into giving us a fresher donut but he was told he can't. Good employer for listening but not good cuz they lost a couple customers. Might try them again in the future and I can do a redemption review. My boyfriend has been there before after a drunken night and he thought it was great but again - reread that sentence. read more

Have been going here since my childhood, and now I get to spread the love to my kids! Perfect maple bar with just the right amount of doughnut to glaze ratio! Tried a new thing the cherry burrito, just plain deep fried and sugary goodness! Happy to support this 24/7 donut shop!! read more

I went in with a coworker placed my order before him and never redirected mine, when he spoke up for me to the younger guy working,he kept telling his mom to make the order make the order...I didn't think it was because of my race at first until the son had to keep telling her to start the order.... she never budged so I just told her not to worry about it, sure told me thank you for cancelling my order and that she was sorry... sad we still live in these times, no matter who runs it we all have to do better! read more
