The Jelly Donut - Pleasanton

Donuts simply perfection. Shop located in a beautiful area, with good shops nearby too. Bike route down from the Dublin BART to the shop has bike lanes (even protected bike lanes along Las Positas Blvd and is smooth. Owners very friendly and gave a few extra donut holes for free! :

OH MY GOSH!!!!! These donuts are DELICIOUS! We got such a special birthday surprise one morning, a friend sent us donuts from here and we have been back multiple times since. The texture is delectable, the chocolate frosting is perfection. You must get a flower or heart donut they are AMAZING. 5 STARS EVERYTIME

Is this the best donut place in the tri-valley? I can't say for sure, but I do know they are pretty much what a donut should be so I don't seek out other places for donuts. The dozen comes with a great variety of types, flavors and shapes and the donuts are always delightfully puffy and fresh. Never oily or greasy. What more can I ask of a donut? If you have a taste for just a great classic donut, this is a solid choice.

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.

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.
