Jolly Pirate Donuts

awesome donuts and great employees :-)
they made me feel right at home and being from out of the state, they were welcoming and full of joy! loved the heart shaped donut with vanilla filling

This place has been in Newark forever, and I have very fond memories of this place from my childhood.
The doughnuts are good and very fresh. We got a dozen (13 at Jolly Pirate) and enjoyed all of them. The only negative thing that I can say is that the filled types fell flat at times. The long cream stocks had plenty of cream, but our round creams were underfilled. But good all the same.
I really enjoyed my plain vanilla cream, and I always love Boston Cream as well. The kids love that the doughnuts come in the treasure chest boxes.
It’s nothing fancy, but the prices are reasonable and the doughnuts are fresh. Definitely much better than going to the grocery store.
Prices are around 0.95 per donut, 7.99 for a regular dozen (they were on special for $ 6 today so be sure to ask about specials), $ 12.99 for a specialty dozen, or $ 9.99 for a mixed dozen.

Donuts are good! Updating the building wouldn’t be a bad idea. I don’t recommend the coffee. But I do recommend the jelly and cream filled donuts!
Service is fast and employees are friendly. Crowd isn’t the best but it’s what you would expect from a 24 hr donut shop.

An extremely sketchy donut shop with all of it’s townie charm. I’ve never been here during the day — most of my trips occur after midnight during the night hours, usually with five friends in tow (or on a date). The same two women always service the counter and the eight or so stools are usually filled with aging townspeople who have nothing else to do on a Saturday night. The baked goods are delicious and it’s fantastic that the place is open 24 hours. I’d recommend getting the donuts to go, though. While experiencing a donut seated at Jolly Pirate is something everyone should do, it gets old… or rather, kind of weird, after awhile.
