I like traditional donuts, without topping, or filling, so I wasn’t expecting much from JamBot, because of all the enthusiastic reviews from filling & topping aficionados, most donut shops specializing in plain or fancy. I went, anyway, because JamBot is the only place to get coffee at 6:00 am in Astoria (they open punctually, and the coffee is very good), but more importantly, their basic raised glazed donut is superb, a 9 out of 10, in my view, achieving that delicate balance of lightly crisp shell, and chewy, yet still light interior, with just the right amount of glaze (the chocolate cake is also quite good, but I’m not as good a judge there). The compact shop is a working bakery, with a small counter in the corner, surrounded by stacks of wheat and potato flour; it has the feel of a crafts shop. This will be a mandatory stop for me on every Astoria trip, and I’m planning to stop by on my way out of town today to pick up a dozen for the road.
A nondescript donut shop in downtown. The donuts are fresh and tasty. The donuts are a more dense and frosting is perfectly done. Try the chocolate bar if you get an opportunity.
Delicious! Thanks James!
The best traveling companions! We love exploring Astoria and these donuts are perfect meals! The taste profiles will excite your pallet and make your mouth water! We get a wide assortment because you can’t eat two in one sitting! They really are like individual meals. Yum!!!
The best donuts I’ve had in Oregon.
One word. YUMMM!!!!
Delicious donuts. I ordered a maple bar, super soft with tasty maple icing. Got to speak with the owner and head donut chef. So happy Astoria has a donut shop of this caliber - and - yes I speak with authority when it come to good donuts!
Friendly fast service. I ordered a dozen donuts (mixed) for my husband's birthday. He loves donuts and he loved these so much that he ate 6 of them on his birthday! He couldn't sleep last night but he said it was SO worth it - they are the best donuts he's ever had!!
This is a darn good donut. Boston creme filling is real Bavarian you can tell, not the shelf stable stuff squeezed out of a bag. Maple has a salty Carmel kind of taste thats Delicious. People comparing these to Cottage Bakery should be ignored. It's like coke and Pepsi. Sure you might prefer one or the other but they are both good and this place isn't 20 miles away across the bridge.
Heard and saw a lot of hype about this place, so we had our hopes really high. Unfortunately when we picked up our donuts this morning they were cold, dry, and stale. Not sure how that's possible in the mornings, unless it's a day+ old. The maple bar was pretty good, and the chantilly cream filled maple donut was good. Everything else we had was extremely dry and disappointing... Especially for the price.
I’m surprised the reviews are so high because these donuts were really not good. We had the chocolate old fashioned, a lemon cake and a chocolate coconut almond raised. I’m a big fan of an old fashioned and it had the same consistency as the other two, all were like a cake donut. And all of them tasted very similar. I gave them to my kids and their description was bland and tasteless. I’m going to stick with Cottage Bakery, but I had high hopes.
Love the Thunder Mocha. It's a must-have for any coffee lover.
JamBot donuts are great tasting donuts! James and Nina are great people, they care about using quality REAL ingredients and my taste buds are witness to their magic. All crème filled donuts are filled to order, unheard of!! Thank you. Definitely coming again.
Obsessed! Astoria was well overdue for a great donut spot and this does not disappoint. The staff is incredibly friendly, the donuts are delicious, and I love that they have an online order option. The strawberry glazed rings are a family favorite of ours.
The chocolate, coconut and almond one is 🤌! We have also tried the old fashioned glazed, old fashioned dipped in chocolate and their chocolate dipped, and their glazed chocolate cake donuts. My only complaint is when Good Life is out and its passed 10 am!
I get the vibe they are not excited when straight dudes come in. It's ok. I won't bother you with my straightness. I really should not be eating donuts anyway. Guys, let's get our own safe space where we won't be bothering these guys.
Okay wow! These donuts are stuffed and covered as you’re ordering them and soooo fresh. I got the peach cobbler (YES, oh my goodness) and popped it in the microwave for 10 seconds and it made it even better. I’ve been waiting and watching their development over the past few months and finally! I was back in Astoria so I gave them a try and I am so happy I did! Also, they are most definitely reasonably priced in comparison to some of the other sweet treat places here. The owner was so nice and I can’t wait to go back.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm Finally found out what all the hype was about. Pre-order is a must. Just do it, stop reading reviews and order! Get extra to give away!
Very pleasantly surprised that the coffee cream filled donut was filled with real cream and not overwhelmingly sweet. It was perfectly flavored.
Super friendly staff. Pretty good donuts, the jelly filled are huge and might actually be better with a little less filling. The apple fritter was too thin and so got over fried, could taste the oil.
