The Jelly Donut

What a lovely donut shop in the heart of the mission and what made it more special was the delightful woman Terry helping me. I was so indecisive and she was patient and kind!

Had ourselves a juicy delicious doughnut during the parade. The employee was super nice to us and made us feel very welcomed. Thanks for the good treats and the welcoming vibes

Love this donut shop! Probably one of the best donuts I’ve ever had and the staff here are extremely kind and friendly. I would highly suggest any of the blueberry dipped ones (it’s purple). Make sure you go to the ATM before coming because they’re cash only.

This is my favourite place to come in the morning on my way out of the city. It’s insanely affordable, the coffee station is no-frills but just what you need, the donuts are fun and absolutely delicious, and the people are 10/10. They’re kind, funny, generous people and this donut shop is a total vibe. Even if it’s out of your way you should head to the Mission.

Charming little donut shop with lots of creative flavors. My favorite donut spot in the Mission! Blueberry Old Fashioned was amazing.

These doughnuts are delicious! I woke up one day craving an apple fritter, and the ones here are amazing. I love the neighborhood vibe, and the owner is so kind. The prices are so reasonable too. Will be back!

Okay, here’s the qualification to my review, I like traditional doughnuts. The fancy $7 a pop doughnuts, trying to be something else just irritate me. That said, Jelly Donut is my new favorite doughnut place in all of California. Primo’s down in LA… excellent. Bob’s in SF is excellent, except when it isn’t. And yes, I’ve tried so, so, so many doughnut places across North America. But Jelly Donut is my new fav. Why? Jelly Donut doughnuts are crunchy on the outside, soft, flavorful, and light on the inside. They’ve got all the standard kind of doughnuts, and a few slight variations like a guava jelly doughnut (outstanding). And… they’re also inexpensive, to the point you’ll think you’ve been under charged. What a gem of a place!

Jelly Donut is the best. Can't get enough of the wonderful fillings they offer and super fun toppings. This trip we got 2 dozen donuts for the last day of school and there were a big hit as always. Come for the prices and come back again and again for the neighborhood vibe and friendliness of the staff. One pro tip- carry cash or come before 2 to Venmo the owner. No electronic payments in the afternoon when the older generation of the family takes the shift.

Small place, if you don't know it, you might miss it. The owners are very kind. And what can I say about the donuts ? wonderful!! We are the eight Italians who invaded your shop yesterday 🤗 Thanks, see you soon!

"The Jelly Donut in San Francisco's Mission district is a must-visit cash-only haven for donut lovers. Despite arriving near closing time, I was pleased to find a good assortment of cakes and cruller donuts. Their blueberry and strawberry-glazed crullers stood out with their perfectly balanced sweetness. The staff, especially the kind lady who assisted me, was incredibly warm and even generously added an extra treat to my half-dozen purchase, all for $7. I'm eager to return and sample their cream and jelly-filled offerings, which I've heard rave reviews about!"

Great way to start your morning in the mission with some delicious donuts. It is cash only and they do accept Venmo. The staff here is super friendly and are as sweet as their donuts. I really enjoyed the sugar donut I got and the few donut holes that were thrown in.

Classic no frills donuts. Highly recommend. Be warned it’s Cash only.

I can’t think of a better price to taste ratio in town for old fashion doughnuts. Definitely a place I will go back to if I’m in the mission.

Amazing service (the girl who was selling them was extremely nice) and such a variety of donuts in different styles. Filled with jelly, custard and old fashioned 😻I picked mango jelly and another type (don’t know the name of it ☺️)They don’t take cards but Vaymo works great

Paulina Lee

Mango jelly with chocolate glaze is the first ever jelly donut I’ve liked! Also love the blueberry glaze cake. Spotted this place on yelps top donut shops in the US!

not only are the donuts scrumdiddlyumptious, but the folks and family running the spot are absolutely amazing people. love this place, a true gem in an overpriced city.

I live a block away. I always leave with more then I bought and it's fresh at all times of the day. Best doughnuts in the mission.

I’m literally eating the doughnut as I write this review! Hands down best doughnut in the city and I’m a doughnut enthusiast!!! Thank you so much for this deliciousness 🍩

Maybe the best doughnut in San Francisco and I eat a lot of doughnuts… but my favorite part is how kind the staff are. Everyone should come here, it’s magical.

I love Jelly donut! Their donuts are perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy (not too dense), and glazed to perfection. Their a true local staple and welcome you like you’re family

I just wanna say this place is amazing. I feel like they’re part of my family ever since I moved up here to San FRANCISCO for work away from my family just to walk in and smell the delicious donuts and see the smile on her face and see the Jolly donut maker 49er fan. Enjoy what he does. They make my day every day, so please support mom and Pops donut places there is the best donut shop in San Francisco FRANCISCO, hands-down

I come here to pick up a box of donuts once in a while, but everytime I go the service is great and of course the donuts are really good. Beside my usual go to flavors which are glazed and chocolate, they have a blueberry glaze donut that is DELICIOUS!

We stumbled across this lovely shop on our last day in San Francisco. We were surprised (and subsequently delighted) to be given a free mini strawberry glazed ring donut with our order of a glazed guava jelly donut, by the kind and friendly person serving at the counter. Both donuts were absolutely delicious! Run, don't walk, to Jelly Donut 🍩 ☺️
