Customer Reviews

I?ll never do business with these people again. If this is how they treat veterans and Rio Linda at this location. Do not do business with them. I order a breakfast sandwich for me and my wife. I kid you not they put a piece of ham that?s not even bigger than a quarter. no cheese. Please look at the photos.

Excellent. Honestly best donuts north of Sacramento. I've been coming here for 25 years. I haven't even lived anywhere near Rio Linda for 15 years, but when I come visit I make sure to stop at Jimmy's donuts. Immigrant owners, family owned and operated. Nicest people ever. Patient. Just the absolute best there is.

Best quality donuts for an affordable price. Every flavor you can think of with delcious flavor. Great customer service and fast. A must try donut place for everyone in Rio Linda

Literally found a roach in the donut!! Never going there again!

Friendly and tasty place, love their donuts. Every time they make our breakfast or event even better. Glad to have this place in our Rio Linda Community ??

I wish I could say better but the poor excuse for food they sell is really disgusting and it causes my veins to hurt and burn . that's how bad it is with all the sugar they put in that poor excuse for donuts. Plus they charge an arm and a leg for them and they don't do it really anything but make up those terribly fake sugary donuts loaded with all kinds of chemicals and preservatives and then they stick them in that glass showcase and they overcharge people so much and then they charge $75 for using our d

They were so sweet! Great customer service. And amazing donuts!

Ordinary donut shop. In the best way. Donuts: ?Most? are really good Service: Quick. No wait Recommend: DOUGHNUT TWIST Ask them what flavors they have and pick your favorite. I normally don?t care for these but eating all flavors, my mind has changed

They have delicious donuts. They don't prefilled their custard or jelly until you order which I think it makes them better. The only downfall is the inflation for the dozen donuts. The fancy is 25.00 which is a little pricey for a regular dozen and not bakers dozen.

They have some of the best donuts I have tasted, great service and are very friendly

Best donuts in all of Rio Linda! So fresh and deliciously soft. Amazing customer service! As seen in the picture I couldn't wait to sample a few ??

I LOVE this donut store so much. Their has been countless birthdays and celebrations to donut shop for. And as a Rio Linda local I and my family would always buy Jimmy's Donuts. These Donuts are always so fresh and absolutely delicious. The employees are very nice as well. The shop is always so clean. Definitely worth my time and my money. You have to try a Donut at Jimmy's even if your passing through or have never ate here.

Disrespectful lady I was $.17 short so I had to run out to the truck when I came back my order was gone and she gave me day old doughnuts plus charged me nearly a $1 more ?? Last time I pay for overpriced food here ever again

The donut shop it's in the main street of the heart of Rio Linda. Near Dry creek bike trail. Nice small mom-pop store. Support your local businesses to thrive. Good quality donuts and nice workers.

I personally know the owners of that store, they're the sweetest couple you'll ever meet. A regular donut shop's donuts taste like Jimmy's but 2 days old!! That's how delicious they are. I've lived here all my life and I've never eaten donuts better than the ones here!!! So if you're taking a trip I strongly recommend you eat here.

Best donuts since pacoima GOOD BUSSINESS here they do

I have been here many times. I will continue to go here when I can. I love the prices and the donuts. The staff is always kind and the family is local that run the shop. I love that it is a mom and pops shop. Always a great experience when I go there.

Great donuts coffee and drink assortment. Great ham and cheese croissant. If you want a dozen donuts, have a $20 ready.

Fast, friendly service. Donuts were good, well above your average grocery store bakery, gas station or chain shop. Only removed a star cuz the parking lot was small and the frosting was ok (little thin on some donuts and standard glossy/hard frosting).

Fresh donuts daily. A wide variety of donuts to choose from. Chocolate is my favorite. But I'm sure you'll find your favorite here too. Reasonably priced for any budget.

Cockroaches inside ?????? they failed their health inspection horribly

Since a little girl this place was my favorite I have traveled across the states and still no one can make doughnuts as good as here

I love these people there right across the street from a sub shop both these businesses are great businesses especially Jimmy's Jimmy's has been one of the go to places every morning I go to for breakfast grab a few donuts maybe even a ham and cheese croissant they're phenomenal

They are always the nicest and their donuts are so fresh and delicious. I love that they have seasonal donuts as well.

Very nice people. They enjoy offering the best customer service. It would be nice if they diversified their inventory. But its as regular as youd want an american doughnut to be ??

We come here a few times a month. My son doesn't like donuts from anywhere else. The service is good and quick and the donuts are tasty

He is open at 5.30 am on sat and sun.the smell and taste of warm donuts are a great way to start the weekend
