Customer Reviews

Highly recommend to stop by and grab some donuts and drink before continue driving. I tried it, and the taste was so good with good price. I love it. This is one of the best Cambodian-owned donut store where you can grab a bit and drink here when you travel pass by or going to Yosemite. The store owner can speak English well, and active as well.

Such a cute little donut shop. Pink tables and chairs with a beautiful display of donuts. They had a small selection of options but they were all very delicious. I have never seen a crepe ?burrito? before, but I will never forget it. It was SOOOO good. The lady inside was very polite and sweet. Very nice place for a morning/afternoon sweet treat. I can?t recommend the crepe burrito enough.

Cute little donut shop on the way to or back from bass lake. I tried their mochi donut which was deliciously chewy and fruity. They also have very good hot chocolate and Java chip mocha blended coffee.

I don?t know what Judy did to end up in Oakhurst but this is the best donut I?ve ever had and I?ve had some good ones including Stan?s Donuts in the bay. Donuts are light and chewiness is just right. Bavarian cream is well balanced. Fried Crepes are genius. Might have to get more on our way out of Yosemite

Judy's Donuts in Oakhurst, California, is a hidden gem that you simply must visit. The owner, a wonderful woman with a radiant smile, offers outstanding customer service that makes every visit special. Her donuts are incredibly delicious and are a true treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. If you're ever in the area, do not miss the chance to stop by and enjoy the delightful experience at Judy's Donuts!

Our tour guide for Yosemite recommended this place and it was absolutely worth the calories! Great selection of traditional and new flavors. The apple fritter was fantastic! We ate that right there in the shop at one of the tiny tables. And bonus - they slipped in some extra doughnut holes with our dozen.

Very yummy donuts! This place deserves the 5 stars for sure. The donuts were soft, not too thick, and not too sweet. The ham and cheese croissant with jalape?os was delicious as well! The croissant was a great size and very fluffy. This place is also very clean inside. I?d definitely recommend! Just wish they were open later for a post-hike treat.

Judy?s raised glazed is lighter and fluffier than a cloud? probably the fluffiest I?ve ever had. This is coming from someone that has eaten donuts damn near his entire life. She?s either sold her soul or some sort of sorceress to make something this delicious.

This has to be the best ever donuts ?? I?ve tasted in my entire life, especially the apple fritters OMG .. unbelievable , the palace is very clean and the employees are so very nice. Honestly I bought about $100 worth of donuts for friends and myself in a matter of two days . Definitely go check them out . I?ll definitely be going back again but I have to wait for my vacation next year . Lol

The food here is delicious, from the cappuccinos to the maple donuts, everything here tastes amazing. The service is phenomenal, the owner is so friendly, and everyone else was very kind and very welcoming as well. The prices were extremely fair, I got a Mochi Donut and a Cappuccino for $6, and it tasted amazing. Highly recommend to everyone passing through the area,

Best donut shop. A most stop whenever we come back!! The buttermilk bars and apple fritters are THE BEST ! Caren, visiting Yosemite, from South Dakota.

Great donuts, we are on a loooooooooong road trip right now and stopped by in this little town for some groceries and donuts. This little place is super cute and seems like a known local spot, we got 2 glazed donuts and a cinnamon roll, when I opened the bag later I noticed they added 3 donut holes on the house ?? lovely !!

Great little doughnut shop! I was greeted immediately upon entering and the first thing I noticed were the massive Apple fritters! They tasted amazing as well. I also ordered an apple crepe which also was great. If you need enjoy a good doughnut or need your surgery bakery fix in the morning, you must give Judy?s a try.

Great experience here. Beautiful selection. I wish they would have each flavor tapped to the glass or somewhere so you didn?t have to ask what was what. Not fresh or warm but fair price and delicious. We had a cinnamon, sugar, plain glaze, a cream cheese burrito roll, and a ham and cheese croissant to take with us on the road. Great choice for the area!

The sweetest employees!! Even at early morning hours, they have such a positive energy to them. Plus, the donuts are delicious!!! Nothing is trying too hard and yet knocks it out of the park! Tomorrow may mark 3 days in a row getting the blueberry old fashioned donut. Perfect find for our vacation

Good donuts, but don't get the ham n cheese croissant, the croissant was "doughy".. everything else was good. We visited from our of state. 6.17.24

I shall continue my worldwide donut review tour by saying in no uncertain terms, Judy's Donuts may be the best donuts I've had in the world. I've had donuts in several major metropolises, from the most famous, the most artisan, or the most base and Judy's stands out amongst all of them. If you've read my previous donut reviews, you'd know I value humility, sincerity and execution over flash, gimmickry and "premium" components. Judy (assuming she was the woman who served me my 3 selected donuts and some fr

The doughnuts were spectacular! I loved the regular ones! The staff was very kind all the time! We'll be back another time!

Amazing donuts! As someone who loves classic style donuts, both the yeast and cake donuts were fabulous.

Pull into hotel in Oakhurst California and find a Judy?s donuts near by. They weren?t fresh and tasty with a nice selection. The cinnamon rolls were huge. The cake donuts moist.

Fun little shop. We got the croissants, fried crepes, and donuts. Croissants were awesome! Crepes were tasty, but definitely a little different than your usual fried treat. The apple filling was best. We also tried the mochi donuts which were too chewy for us but has great flavor.

Stopped here because it was open early and near our hotel. BEST decision we?ve made on our trip. The ham and cheese croissant was to DIE for, we ended up going back for another. The donut selection is large and, although the flavors aren?t listed, the woman working is so friendly and helpful. They filled the custard donut right in front of us too. Such an amazing place I just wish we had one close to home. Will definitely make this place a must-stop when we visit Yosemite again.

A little hidden gem in a tiny mountain town! The cake donuts (which are my favorite,) are really yummy. The employees were very sweet and we will be visiting a few more times on our trip!

Soooooo Good! Cute little Donut shop and great service by the two sweet ladies ! When I?m Traveling into Yosemite I will stop again and again!!

Thanks for the tasty donuts and lattes, Judy. We loved the apple crepe burrito and everything was great. Awesome morning pit stop on our way out of town.

Donuts were so delicious, glaze and chocolate frosted were so light and airy making it easy to consume several. We bought several dozen for our morning wedding to give to our guests and it was a hit. People were grabbing for more. Service was amazing and they were super generous to us. HIGHLY recommended and will always be a stop when we come to visit again.

I go there about every other day. Friendly people that make traditional old fashioned donuts. Crispy.

Excellent, old-school style donuts. Freshly made and reasonably priced. Coffee could use an upgrade. Open super-early for those of us trying to hit the trails before the sun comes up.

Going to Yosemite and not 100% ready for the wilderness that lies ahead? Or maybe you?re coming back from a week of being out in nature and tussling with bears? Or MAYBE you just a homie looking for a morning bite to eat. Well get ready to grab some sweet warm delights in all of these situations. They got some of the softest doughy yeast doughnuts. And their cake donuts got that wonderful crunch. I say be generous and grab some of both to make the car and cabin happy. So be prepared for not only a dive into

One of the lightest airy donuts I?ve ever had. So good and very affordable

These donuts are the best! A must stop on your way into Yosemite.

Best donuts I?ve ever had, hands down. And we came at 1pm on a Monday. So fresh and perfect. I can?t wait to come back here. Thank you for the most perfect jelly donut!

The best donuts!! By far the best cinnamon roll ever!!!

I was incredibly pleased by the welcoming environment and service Judy?s Donuts provided! The staff is by far some of the kindest individuals I?ve ever met. There is such a great local feel to this place and is a great spot to add to your itinerary to visit if you?re traveling through the area. Hoping my family and I can come back again in the near future!

Best donuts in Central California. Very welcoming staff and great prices.

Small place, nice people, lots of choices. The ham and cheese croissant with jalape?o was the bomb. I recommend it for sure. I did order a chocolate ?clair with cream filling and got on the road, and it was a maple covered donut with cream filling, but it was still good. It's just not what I ordered. So check it before you leave.

OMG the croissants were amazing and huge. Definitely have to grab a donut or something. We ate the croissants too quick that I did not get a picture of them.

Their new crapes are my favorite now! So good ??

The best donuts and people nice. A lil expensive. Dozen donuts plus 2 drinks 32 bucks

They make a very delicious apple turnover filled with sweet apples, all the donuts are freshly baked

On our last trip to Yosemite we went here and they were by far the best donuts we?ve tried in so long! So fresh and soft with so many to choose from, absolutely go here to stock up on treats ahead of your days adventure!

The best donuts ever!! I visit from Argentina, I Just will came back for a donuts.

Friendly atmosphere, great donuts, and other breakfast treats that will start Your day off with a smile! My donuts remained nice & fresh still a day later and didn't become hard as a rock unlike every other establishment who sell Donuts!

Excellent doughnuts. Staff very friendly. We were there at 5:30 am. The woman who served us knew doughnut glaze science... And steered us to her favorites. We have only had three of the dozen so far but they are so yummy. Not heavy. My wife is used to Stan's doughnuts in Chicago and Judy's are WAY, WAY better. Also very affordable.

Always the best quality donuts, service, and coffee!

Great classic donut shop. Helpful and nice staff and outstanding donuts. The cake glazed are fantastic and the apple fritter is not to be missed.

Amazing donuts. Fresh, fluffy, and well made. If you're in the area, absolutely stop by!

Incredible donuts. Friendly, cheerful atmosphere and staff? great priced donuts that taste better than any chain. Highly recommend stopping in if you are visiting.

Came here mid day on a Monday and the donuts were very fresh!

OMG! These donuts are amazing! They are so so good, scrumptious, delicious, etc. I have never had donuts so fresh before. These are the best donuts in the entire world! And the croissants she has are absolutely outstandingly mouthwatering yummy! Once you have one of her donuts or croissants, it will not go anywhere else! ??

We just about didn?t go the morning out of the area. We are so glad we turned around because the fritters were amazing! The best we?ve had. They have a crisp along the edges but still soft and delicious in the middle, just like we like them. Not doughy at all. So yummy, try them!

We stopped on the way out of Yosemite and it was a great experience. Friendly service, decent prices and amazing quality. I don't typically order apple fritters but after reading another review I decided to try it. I wasn't disappointed. Best I have ever had. I highly recommend Judy's!

Great donuts awesome customer service. Pro-tip: get the donut burritos.

We walked down to Judy's from our motel. It was so worth the time. These are literally the best donuts I've had in all my years. You will not be disappointed if you give Judy's a try. Wish I had one of their donuts now!

Cute little doughnut shop. We had their mochi doughnuts. The plain glazed is by far the best. Such a unique and interesting flavor and texture, easily my new favorite doughnut. Prices were fair.

We had a couple dozen donuts from Judy?s donuts for after our wedding ceremony in Yosemite National Park and they were a huge hit with our family. My husband liked them so much that we went every day we were in Oakhurst. The coconut donuts were our favorite. Highly recommend!!

Not much left when we got there (ya snooze, ya lose!), but the cake donuts we had were delicious! My boyfriend got a still-warm one. Yum!!

The lady is so sweet and the donuts are very good

Went in to get a blue berry doughnut at 6 am there was none they wanted 16$ for a dozen doughnuts I was the only one in there and was the last to leave after I got home my doughnut was so dry the dog wouldn?t even eat it and there was no apples in my apple fritter they also failed to give me a receipt and charge me $.50 to use tap. I?m not ever going back and I?m very disappointed the quality and the service all have gone downhill.

My family and I were here last month on our way out of Yosemite and we still bring it up every now and then. We got the mochi, peanut chocolate, twisted, sprinkle, and original donuts. All were so delicious! Some of the best donuts we?ve had.

These might be the best donuts and bars ever. Didn't try any cake donuts but the raised ones are perfect.

Cozy donut shop in Oakhurst that?s open early. We popped in to pick up some ham & cheese croissants for the day hike to Yosemite and some donuts for the road. Glazed donuts were fluffy and delicious, perfectly balanced (not too sweet). Highly recommend if you?re in the area!

Delicious donuts - so good I visited twice in fact (and I rarely eat donuts)! On my second trip, I got surprise donut holes, which really helped make the wait to get into Yosemite more enjoyable.

We stopped by for breakfast with my wife and kids and had the most amazing and welcoming experience you can dream of. Friendly, warm, and the donuts were wonderful! We truly felt like being part of a family even though we were there for a short time - beyond expectations!

Super nice lady! Delicious donuts

I know I?ll miss this cute shop in Australia ?? all the ladies are so sweet, donuts are so delicious. Their coffee latte is also good.

Judy's is just the BEST donut place in the mountains. The donuts are always fresh and perfect. They have crepe wraps and savory filled offerings, too. My favorite is the bag of a dozen donut holes. There's something special about the icing at Judy's, and the fluffiness of the raised donuts is just dreamy. I totally recommend Judy's Donuts.

Absolutely delicious doughnuts, and the costumer service is so friendly and outstanding. Was short on change about 50 cents but the lady working today said it was okay and not to worry. I was so embarrassed but she really made our day today. Did I mentioned the doughnuts were divine ??

If you?re heading to Yosemite and you come through Oakhurst to get there you have to stop here and get the apple fritter desert. It?s amazing. The sweet little lady working is so so nice and welcoming.

I don't live here, I'm from Detroit. I haven't tried these yet, I am doing research for my hot sauce job. But these look sooooooo good. I'm from a place that does donuts so... can't wait to try them ??

So many delicious options to choose from! And the atmosphere was really cool with little ole local men gathered for coffee. Friendly and helpful!

Best donuts I ever had, and I've traveled through every state except for 4 of them.

BEWARE OF CHEATING ! 5 stars if not for their cheating and ridiculous reasoning skills. Excellent latte and donuts. No complaints. 1 star. No customers when I went. They charged me $18 for 2 lattes and 2 donuts. The actual price was $10. When asked about this, she said they have 2 latte machines and one machine costs 5$ and the other one costs $3.75. After summing up it would only $12.50 even after their ridiculous reason. Better of with Dunkin Donuts if the locals suck this much.

I have been to a lot of donut shops in my lifetime but none have ever impressed me more than Judy?s donuts. She has such a wide variety of the best tasting donuts you?ll ever try. When we had the creek fire here this last two months she donated her whole store of donuts to the firefighters. Judy has a very big heart and serves Our community hear very well

Everytime we stop off at this little gem of a donut ?? store I HAVE to get my favorite ... An Apple ?? Fritter. They are so crunchy yet soft and chewy on the inside with soft diced apples and just the right amount of spice or cinnamon or whatever they put into them to make them so DELICIOUS. My mom will get the Old fashion donuts that are glazed & sometimes Buttermilk ones. My Father loves to get the glazed donut holes ?? ?? and eat them by the handful right out of the bag. The staff is always so nice and f

Donuts were delicious, service was satisfactory and being open at 5am was quite convenient... would have been nice if they had an egg sandwich option, but they did do a ham and cheese croissant. It's hard to make any complaints.

Best donuts in town!! You can't go wrong with these donuts on a weekend morning for family as a treat. We almost always get these when visiting with family now because they are always good and fresh. Great shop and wonderful shop owners??????

One word, blueberry old fashioned. Wait, two words...

We love Judy's Donuts! Absolutely delicious, and their croissants are HUGE, flakey, and so buttery. The staff is always so kind and gracious. Best donut shop ever.

The donuts here were fantastic! Fresh and light and well presented, and the young lady working the counter was friendly and sweet. The shop was clean, neat, organized, and smelled like heaven. There is a reason the ratings are so high! We will be back for sure the next tume we are in the area! The crumb cinnamon roll was out of this world! We also split a cream cheese donut burrito that was yummy as well. Give em a shot, you won't be disappointed! As a side note, many of the modern art pieces on the w

These donuts were amazingly good. They all tasted so fresh and were pillowy soft. The bear claw was surprisingly filled with apple, and filled me up.

Absolutely delicious donuts. The best glazed donuts I have eaten during my US trip! They only cost 1.5 $ - so we bought a lot :)

Do yourself a favor and grab some donuts on your way in and out of Yosemite. Easily ranks up there for the best donuts I've had. Apple crepe burrito was an absolute delight!

Wonderful donut place! My husband has been coming here with his grandfather since he was a kid. Now I am able to bring our boys here to enjoy some epic donut goodness :) Great options and lovely staff :)

Judy and her donuts are a treat that has no comparison. The pastries are the best and her attitude and smile are a great way to start the day. Her shop is clean and pleasant and a great place to experience!!

Owner & employees are very friendly. Donuts are super soft and warm when you get them early. And honestly still soft even if you dont get there early. Great small business!

Great donuts! Easy stop on the way home from Yosemite. Great, friendly service. Everyone got something they liked!

The place to get old fashion doughnuts with some great taste. All I can say is when you are driving through Oakhurst is a must stop on your way to the lake or Yosemite. You will not regret it.
