I used to really like Jupiter Donuts, and I haven’t had their donuts in quite a while, so I was honestly looking forward to having them again. Unfortunately, my experience today, 9/22/26, was extremely disappointing.
My parents bought 2 apple fritters and 4 donuts, and after tasting them, I genuinely couldn’t believe how different they were from what I remembered. The apple fritter and cruller tasted like they had been cooked in old, nasty-tasting oil. The glaze had an awful taste and texture that reminded me of wax or plastic. Nothing tasted fresh, and the overall quality was just not what I expected.
I kept trying different pieces thinking maybe I had gotten a bad bite, but unfortunately, the taste was consistent. It left such an unpleasant aftertaste that I had to spit it out. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can enjoy donuts that taste like this.
What makes it even more frustrating is that we spent around $24 for everything. For that price, I expect the donuts to at least taste fresh and enjoyable. Instead, most of them ended up barely being eaten because of how bad they tasted.
I really hope this was just an off day because I remember liking Jupiter Donuts in the past. But based on what we got today, I would not spend $24 here again. Very disappointing, especially considering how much I used to enjoy this place.
