Best donuts I've had in a long time

Fresh donuts daily, except they are low on chocolate. Old-fashioned other than that. It's a great place to get your donuts..

My go-to for donuts! Value price with rich quality and flavor IMO

Told counter person that I needed 1 dozen and had him pick. Picked all the same doughnuts, charged me max price and after trying 1, I threw them out and made a second stop. I would not recommend.

Super friendly donut shop. They have slowly made upgrades to make their shop more modern. My 2yr old love coming to grab donuts for the whole family

Amazing Mom and Pop Donut Shop! Donuts are always fresh and delicious with very affordable prices! Best times to go are early morning or late at night for best selection! Can't beat their fresh brewed coffee for $1!

YUUUUUUUUUUUMY! BEST DONUTS IN TOWN!

The best donuts I've ever had, hands down. After our hometown donut shop changed owners, the place went downhill so we had to find a new shop. Stumbled upon this hidden gem and my whole family was blown away by the freshness and flavor of these donuts. We have since moved out of Lodi, but will travel from Stockton just to get a pink box of goodies!

They're the best I recommend everybody go in there and try their ham and cheese, it's the best way to start your morning! Just make sure you tell them to microwave it that way the cheese is all gooey and delicious. Even better do what I do go in there every morning and get one just make sure he leaves one for me.

Seriously great donuts. I normally will eat like 2 donuts to limit the calories for one person, but the last time omg I could not stop eating them so shamefully I had to eat 6 donuts because they were warm , fresh and beyond delicious. These Donuts must be my kryptonite, I guess. I would give them a 6 stars if I could. They are so good and I think giving Krispy Kreme and Voodoo Donut a serious taste challenge. And they should be nervous now.

If you want a good fresh donut go here. They really have the best tasting donuts and they are very nice people . I do go elsewhere when they are closed. But they are not as good as J and D' it's just a disappointment . If you haven6t tried this place yet you really should. You won't be disappointed.

Fresh donuts at 10:00 am on a Sunday! Not your average donuts. We've been going there for 5 years and they always have a great selection. Fast, friendly and easy to find.

Was OK, nothing impressive but they did have all the right donuts.....lol, Service was OK but communication struggled and it needs a remodel if they are going to get anyone to sit and have their breakfast in house.

We needed breakfast and noticed the sign driving by. These donuts were delicious! I loved the bear claw I ordered.

Best donuts best service and best price in town!!!!!

Very good place to go for donuts. The maple and chocolate bar are excellent. The service is good and friendly. The one I like is the Old Fashioned donuts. Also get a dozen donuts holes.

They're fine. Open early and good selection.

Very friendly people. They have the best donuts in town. I always get maple bars and they put custard inside, they absolutely have the best custard.

Very nice place. Very nice staff. Early morning there is a good selection of donuts. Will be back !

Excellent donuts, great customer service

Love that they provide donuts morning and evening. The people here are super nice, donuts are middle of the road. I'd return if in the area.

Best donuts I've ever had! Apple fritter is my all time favorite here!

They make fresh donuts twice everyday. Early morning & early evening. The donuts are scrumptious

Easily out of the 20 donut places I've tried between Stockton and Lodi this is probably the best. At the very least 2nd best.
