In So. Cal one is never far from a Donut shop, and although JD Flannel Donuts & Coffee in San Juan Capistrano only opened in 2019 their focus on quality Ingredients plus old-school technique has rocketed them to stardom including a recent ranking as California’s best Donut per Yelp!
A small batch shop in the middle of a Strip Mall, flanked by launderers and vitamins, guests line up before the 7am opening Wednesday through Sunday for seasonal flavors such as plump Blueberries in moist Cake enrobed by tangy Lemon Glaze.
The brainchild of John Miller and Dave Rhode, J and D respectively, it is inside the shop that guests will notice a bakeshop buzzing with activity while servers rush to keep up, though after one bite of a faultless Bear Claw filled with Apples, Cinnamon and Cream any inconvenience is quickly forgotten.
Similarly priced as Sidecar or Blue Star, roughly $5 a piece, fans of Old-Fashioneds will find JD Flannel’s crisp overlying the melt-in-your-mouth center while Pure Maple and Chocolate Chipper range from simply delicious to overly-complicated yet unforgettable.
