10 Best Donuts near San Rafael

“Tucked away, this tiny donut shop may lack charm and seating, but their glazed donuts make up for it. The workers are helpful, despite the constant rush, ensuring swift service. Weekend mornings here are bustling and the parking lot can be chaotic. However, The glazed donuts are unparalleled, with a perfect balance of sticky and airy glaze on fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth dough. The coffee complements the sweetness. If you can navigate the chaos, this donut shop is a must-visit in San Rafael“

“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!“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“Been going here since I was a kid....great doughnuts but the customer service is lacking...I mean I get it they are just selling pastries and they woke up before the roosters but still...I mean you get to be around doughnuts at least smile at me or something. The other day I waited what seemed like an enternity for them to even acknowledge me. So if you want a delicious doughnut without the personal interaction this is your spot!!! :p“

“Finally came by when it was open! Business hours aren't posted, but what was good to know is that the shop closes early on weekends (which is why I never saw them open) and occasionally they'll close early on weekdays. Staff was friendly and donuts are yummy! Picked up a dozen donuts to take into the office and was not disappointed. The old fashioned and buttermilk donuts have a nice crunch on the outside. Original glazed donuts can't beat Krispy Kreme but are definitely better than Safeway donuts!“

“The quintessential old school donut shop, family run. Located on the main drag in Novato it provides a wonderful throwback moment to a time before Americans even thought much about diabetes and obesity. But, unquestionably, this place has dandy fresh variations of delight. Probably, once all the 5G devices start reporting to your health insurance where you have been, you should slip your cellphone into its Faraday cage pouch before you leave your car.

Parking: Right in front.“

“Warning: Do not go near this place if you are trying to diet and lose weight! The vortex of deliciousness will grab hold of you and you will be forced to enjoy the most wonderful donuts you have ever tasted.

Parking: Easy access and plenty of parking.“
