Johnny Doughnuts: Reviews & Ratings

I will say good doughnuts are hard to come by and Johnny doughnuts hit the nail on the head. They have clean oil so the doughnuts don't taste old, they aren't too sweet. We stopped in here a few weeks ago while waiting for a local yarn shop down the street to open and we are so glad we did. There is one in SF closer to us but this was indeed a treat. Each flavor was distinct and perfect. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the flavors and they all looked pretty tasty. Can't wait to come back and try other flavors. The service was great, the ambiance welcoming and made you want to sit down and enjoy a nice cup of coffee and a doughnut but we were in a grab and go kinda of day.

I found myself in downtown San Rafael for the first time to run some errands. I was feeling peckish and searched for doughnuts. Lucky to have found Johnny! I love old fashioned doughnuts; the vanilla and chocolate salted caramel glazes were the right amount of sweetness on a crisp, airy cake. I definitely recommend if in town and need a sweet tooth craving filled.

Huge flavor selection today, buts that's typical of JD's! I choose the chocolate cronut for my birthday gift. I picked the most beautiful twist and the seasonal pumpkin for mom. Thank you JD's for my gift and for making delicious coffee companions in a consistent quality fashion! Thank you to the sweet staff members who are always icing on the donut !

Cute spot on a quieter stretch of town. These are fancy versions of classic donuts. Nothing too weird here though a lot of higher end ingredients and combinations are available. The donuts are big and substantial, as they should be! I bought an assortment of cake and raised donuts. I actually preferred the raised. The yeasty taste of the buttery dough was really special. The cakes were quite good too and lasted longer in the fridge for decadent treats throughout the week! Ask for advice and suggestions and you won't be led astray. The butter cake was my absolute favorite -- the sweet slightly salty glaze soaked into the cake and was just perfect. The glazes are subtle, so much so that I couldn't detect the flavors in some. This combined with my lost short-term memory made eating these an adventure.

Went for a stroll and had this on my hit list for a while. I ordered the sweet potato glazed and the chocolate cronut. As I entered the display was on the left side where I was promptly greeted and made my choice from the display. They walked my order to the counter where I also got a cappuccino. The staff were welcoming and they had seating indoor and outdoor options. It's a good spot for socializing and the streets were quiet around the time I went at 10am. Clean and very appealing branding. Thank you!
