8 Best Donuts near Novato

“Maybe they put some sugar in the batter or some other ingredient but these donuts are delicious! They have the gamut from plain old fashioned to kid-friendly, day-glo treats. Mom and pop who run it are very nice. Location in a half empty mall is a little dreary.“

“Grew up coming to this donut shop before or after school, back when they used to have ice cream too. I loved getting a scoop of mint chip from Andrew (the owner). I live in town still but opposite ends. There are at least 2 or 3 donut shops closer to me but I'll drive across town to come get the best ones Novato has! Not only because Andrew remembers me and asks about my family but because he really makes the best donuts in town and a delicious ham & cheese stuffed croissant!“

“A very nice and little shop had a variety of donuts. Coffee was really good We will be going back soon very good. Glad we can help out our local businesses“

“Atmosphere is simple but the touches of the owners cultural heritage help it feel cozy and cute 🥰. Overall quality is fantastic, but I this place makes my favorite apple fritters.

I am usually an old fashioned or cake donut lover, so I usually don’t go for the fritters especially because past experiences I’ve where they are dry or don’t have much apple.

The apple fritter here is top notch. Perfectly fried, apple and icing ratio is balanced and complimentary. Because the dough is evenly fried, it has that melty texture to it.

I am a fan and have recommended this place already to a few people.“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“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!“

“Drive-thru line was crazy long, but the super friendly staff were quick and efficient to have everyone through in no time, and our coffee was good! �“
