Jelly Donut

We’re all for a cream-filled Long John before a day of galavanting on boulders, but donuts are not why you come to this tiny shop in Twentynine Palms. You’re at Jelly Donut for the not-so-secret Vietnamese menu stapled on the wall. And we say not-so-secret because every person inside this former gas station is eating pho. There are seven varieties available, including chicken, shrimp, and veggie, but we go for the traditional #1 with steak, brisket, and beef balls. You might spot another Jelly Donut branch on the drive through Yucca Valley, but don’t be duped—that one serves zero bowls of delicious pho.
