Why do people walk past this gem and get their coffee at starbucks? If you like coffee go inside and give jelly donuts a try. Their coffee pots are full of fresh coffee. You'll thank me later! Support your local businesses! Great people work here!

What's not to love! Jelly Donut is the BEST! Amazing options, fantastic taste and family-owned service. We moved out of state for a while and family would always bring Jelly donuts with them when coming to visit because we could never find anything quite like it. Highly recommend!

This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!

I used to be their delivery supply driver for several years for Westco and I had never tried their donuts because they were one of my last stops of the day. I retired from the company 14 years ago and needed to buy some donuts to bring to the guys at my new job and I remembered how nice they were to deliver too and decided to go there. Much to my surprise they have the best donuts probably in the whole North Bay and definitely in San Rafael because I have tried many others since I moved to the area. For me to give a review you can rest assured it has to be very good because I know the donut business well.

My son and I have been going to Jelly Donuts since he was in a stroller (many, many years) The donuts are always fresh and delicious. My favorites are the apple fritter and the jelly filled. I have tried apple fritters all over, and in my opinion, Jelly Donut’s are the best!

To put it very simply, that was the absolute best donut I've ever had. You just don't realize there could be that much difference until you have one that's this good.

Good no frills local donuts store. Seems very popular on the weekends. Had the glazed and chocolate glazed. Both very good. Selection is vast but has all the standard types. Great way to support local biz.

Prices are no longer awesome and still cash only. Used to be less than a dollar per donut before they increased prices. I used to really like this place but after being forced to buy more than I want multiple times, it's deserving of a poor review. At first, I thought "I'll give you one more!" meant I was getting a free donut. But after a few times, I realized I was being charged for that extra donut I didn't ask for! Advice: if you want repeat customers, don't push extra purchases into them because they'll eventually notice. It gets two stars instead of one because the blueberry glazed donut is actually really really good. (Everything else is mediocre.) Unless I receive a direct apology, this is the last time I'm buying donuts here for the office. 2 of 5 stars -- Edit: increasing to 4 stars since it's been a while since previous grievances happened and the blueberry glazed donut is still the best around! =D

Great place to get delicious donuts early in the morning, excellent location in the middle of the mall. Could improve indoor seating, but the overall taste of the fresh donuts and the helpful service of the staff make it a great donut stop.
