I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Everyone seems to have their favorite donut, whether its a simple raised and glazed, an ooey-gooey jelly-filled covered in powdered sugar, a giant crispy apple fritter, or a classic cake donut with rainbow sprinkles. If I am being honest, I can resist a lot of those, but I don’t have a shred of willpower around a maple-glazed old fashioned. Whatever the case, donuts make people, kids and adults alike, happy. And the incredibly delightful donuts I am about to show you take things to the next level. Even if donuts are not your thing, chances are you are going to want to try Judy’s Donuts in Newbury Park, CA, at least once.
Judy's is something of a local icon in the community, having a long-earned reputation for friendly owners and arguably the cutest and best donuts anywhere.
Every time you walk into the shop, you will find an assortment of the most adorable donut designs, from Pokemon to emojis to sports and seasonal themes... among many, many others.
You will find some familiar favorites, but the fun designs are not the only thing that set this little shop apart from the masses. From candy bar and s’mores options to bacon and cream cheese flavors, and lots of other twists on the traditional, you are quite likely to discover a new favorite.
With a little advance notice, you can order super cute and very personal donuts to make someone's day a little extra special and to celebrate anything from tiny milestones to massive ones.
The reviews of Judy’s Donuts make it clear that once people try these goodies they keep coming back, with many people saying they have been coming for years (or decades!), including some who “don’t even like donuts!” I actually have read a lot of comments from folks who have moved away from the area and say they can’t find anything comparable where they live now.
Regulars will also tell you to get here early if you have a favorite or want the best selection - not that you will regret grabbing whatever happens to be on the racks!
