Regular Donuts
The friendliest team I have experienced here n Elk Grove. The donuts are really tasty, flavorful, fresh, and of high quality. I have always had a great experience here and the prices are excellent as well.
It's extremely okay. Granted, I went here a week ago so maybe things have been picking up and the owner's getting settled in. The name "K & J Donuts" is apparently modeled after the owner's kids' names which is cute.
When we went the night prior, there weren't any hours listed around the storefront, so we didn't know when they opened or closed; we ended up having to ask personally. The chalkboard menu is also hard to read due to the faded lettering and scrawled handwriting, albeit giving it a personal touch.
There's a verrrry generic selection of donuts. You've got your classic spinkled rings, cake donuts, apple fritters, bars, and something called a buttermilk donut which is okay. The texture of the donuts is almost akin to what you can obtain at a classic Safeway or Bel Air--a cakey chewy texture that isn't fluffy nor memorable--so it's really disappointing, especially since the donuts are pretty pricey. I will say the glazed donuts and the donut holes are not bad. Can't go wrong with a glazed. The maple bar, though, is again, strangely similar to something I could get at Bel Air. Maybe that's the intention, but at the price, why would I choose this shop?
Service was great. Owner was friendly, and I felt like a regular despite the place being new. Even got an extra donut. The decor is also very reminiscent of classic donut shops from the late 90s, early 2000s, like a time capsule. I don't have pictures but you'd know if you visit. Being new, it's very sparse and clean. The kitchen area is huge and fun to look at, unlike other shops that have walls.
To be honest, however, I fear that if the owner doesn't change his recipe or come up with some crazy donut styles, they may or may not last depending on the goodwill of the locals. If I want soft and fluffy quality donuts, I would go to Golden Donuts. If I want something crazy, I could go to Bad Bakers. I REALLY want this place to succeed because it's so close to my house, and finally having a local spot to call my own would be super awesome. Alas with the simplicity of it all, the mediocre quality, and the price, it may be a while before I give this place another shot. In these uncertain times, I wish this place the best of luck!
So happy this shop opened! Close, well priced and delicious!!! We got an old fashioned glazed, chocolate covered cake, a cream stuffed delight, and a raspberry filled. Yummy good.
Great, donuts and service. Cooked well lightly glazed, old fashion quality.
