Jerry’s Cakes & Donuts

Best place in rapid for donuts. The bacon maple is the best. Every donut is so light and crisp.

What a great local Rapid City institution. Do you love donuts? Do you love local? Jerry’s does both very well. I had a honey glazed donut and apple fritter to go but would have enjoyed taking a few boxes with me. But that would have just been too much sweet goodness. From the looks of the packed house, this place has been doing it right for a long, long time.

Is true… If you have a doughnut desire this is the place… Fresh, flavorful… A step or more above the franchises. Pumpkin had an excellent taste, and texture… Not too spicy, and so FRESH. bacon topped long pastry w maple icing is ridiculously good… worth the stop, easy to find.

What a nice surprise to have a family run place where you can have coffee in a real mug! Very friendly staff and great prices. Best Donuts in Rapid City

I have been to jerry’s many time and I have never been impressed. Their doughnuts are small and taste like burnt grease. The staff is also not friendly. If you want good doughnuts, go across town to dazed and glazed. They are better, bigger and cheaper.
On a side note, their cakes are very good.

Sweet mother of pearl. My wife and I stopped in here on a road trip a few years ago and loved the place. Loved the intimate feel of the shop interacting with the community. If we’d stayed another day in sure we would have made another visit.

Jerry’s donuts are absolutely delicious! And the variety! So many different flavors, all of which are yummy. I ordered 16 dozen recently for my wedding, in lieu of a traditional cake. My guests loved them, with several of them eating way more than 1. In fact a couple of guests ate 6+, that’s how good they are.
The only reason I can’t give them 5 stars is because the morning I went to pick up my large order, the service was rather dismissive. I know it was a busy Sat, but still. I waited patiently in line, which was long, and when it got to me, the blonde who was supposed to help me said «just a minute» then went to finish up something else and help someone sitting down. No biggie, I assumed that was the previous customer before me. But when she got back behind the counter, she completely ignored me and proceeded to start to box up donuts for some other person in line several people behind me! While I was waiting for her, two people behind me were able to get served and picked up their cake orders. I had to interrupt the next person in line to get helped, which I felt bad about, but I was not about to get back in line and frankly, was in a hurry as it was my wedding day! The blonde never made eye contact with me again, probably because she knew I would call her out on her rudeness. I normally knock a few stars off for bad service, but the donuts were so delicious I had to at least give them 4 stars for that.

As good of donuts and variety as I’ve ever come across. What else is there to say? Fresh donuts made well with the variety that they have can be somewhat hard to come across. such a place certainly does not exist in Brookings.
I particularly like how crisp the coating is on some of them like the pumpkin donuts and the amount of cream they put in their white cream donuts. Worth a visit if you like Donuts and are visiting Rapid City.
For best results go between 7 and 9 AM so they have everything available… go too early and some stuff may not be done yet.
Head and tails better than grocery store (hyvee, etc.) donuts.

Hands down the best donuts I’ve ever eaten. My favorite is the chocolate ice raised as well as the chocolate peanut butter ice raised. Friendly staff and excellent service every single time.

Maybe it’s hard for me to really rate a donut shop since they’re all the same to me, but I’ve got to say this restaurant has a good choice of donuts, cheap prices, and awesome service.
That’s all I really have to say when rating this donut shop. It’s a nice place to bring your family for some early morning breakfast.

I have not had a fresh donut in sooooo loooong. Seriously. The only place to get a donut in my town is at the grocery store — blah. My family and I are spending a week in Rapid City, and I hauled my kids to Jerry’s on our very first morning. It did not disappoint. My kids gorged themselves on sprinkle donuts, and I thoroughly enjoyed my butter crunch donut. They were sublime.
The only thing that was a little funny ~ we were the youngest dine-​in customers by far. This is clearly a breakfast hangout for retirees. I have absolutely no problem with it, but I did notice that every other young family to walk through the door grabbed their food to go.

Awesome doughnuts! Simple and done right pastries with specialty fillings for their flip-​overs!!! We were in rapid city 2 days and had breakfast there twice! ‘Nuf said!!!

This place is a Black Hills tradition.
Hillary Clinton ate here.
Bill Cosby ate here.
These are the best donuts I’ve ever eaten. There is ample seating. A chunk of the visitors are elderly people playing cards or BSing over coffee.
Do yourself a favor and order the bacon maple donut.
Their cakes are just as delicious as their donuts.

The best donuts in town and the prices are great. In fact they are some of the best donuts I’ve had anywhere in the country. Where else in Rapid are you going to get a a maple bacon donut?

Not only does Jerry’s have great donuts, they make the most amazing cakes in town. My husband and I picked them to make our wedding cakes for our wedding last year and they were out of this world, good. We had one tiny mishap where they lost our ribbon, but overall, the service was fantastic. We had so many compliments on our cake. We plan on purchasing another cake from Jerry’s for our first anniversary.

Awesome bakery! Friendly service and amazing donuts! Highly recommend the maple bacon donut :)

Pumpkin Donuts…
Yup. Go there. Delicious. ‘Nuff said.

My first time coming here, I was very impressed that I could spend 64 cents for a perfectly good (though slightly stale, at 10am) treat.
Came back with the boyfriend a week later, and was disappointed.
It was 11:45 on a Saturday morning, and as we walked in, the staff were furiously cleaning and yelled «we’re closing in 15 minutes, just so you know!» They acted very impatient as we decided what we wanted.
I ordered a blueberry flip, since the front one in the case looked so delicious and oozing with filling. She promptly selected the one in the back with the least filling and gave it to me. After my boyfriend ordered, they dumped our donuts in a bag and rushed us out the door. They were still supposed to be open. I realized as we were leaving that I wanted water, but thought they’d be too mad if I went back in to ask for some.
The blueberry flip was ok – it was dry and borderline stale; the filling was just over-​sweetened jelly. Overall, we spent $ 5.24 for five donuts and one coffee. I would’ve asked more about the pricing if we hadn’t been so rushed (like, is it cheaper per donut to get a dozen?).
Despite the rude staff and stale-​ish donuts, I still like the old-​timey diner atmosphere.

THIS PLACE ROCKS! We walk in and it is packed! the parking lot is packed. Got our order and loved it. This is how you run a business! Get the order, happy customer, and get the next order! well done!

You would be an absolute IDIOT, if you were in the neighborhood and did not stop here for an apple fritter.
These guys literally ROCK!
They are packed and you WILL have to wait, but it is so worth it. If you think you can eat two, get four, you will not regret it.
My family stopped in at 2 PM (they close at 4) and got the last few scraps of fritters from the whole day. Kids loved them.
Couple days later we stopped at 8 AM — WOW they are so much better fresh and everyone in the car wanted more.
This is why they are rated in the top 12 in the entire nation. A good product at aa fair price. 1 dozen fancy donuts is $ 8 and plain are $ 6.
The sour creams are also awesome.
So forget the diet and eat some donuts.
