Jelly Modern

With three locations in Calgary, Jelly Modern Doughnuts is your go-to shop for the city's Best Doughnut. The talented bakers here make fresh doughnuts every day, each type with their own homemade glazes and fillings. Whether you're a lemon curd enthusiast, maple bacon lover or a fan of Nenshi's salted caramel, there's a flavour here for everyone at Jelly Modern. The secret hiding behind these tantalizing doughnuts since 2011 is the extra bit of love snuck in during baking.

COVID-19 definitely impacted this business as they made the decision to temporarily close mid-March until there were safe procedures to reopen. The health and safety of their customers and staff members remained the most important, so when they reopened in late April, there were new ways of operating to ensure this. Since this reopening, the business has been even busier thanks to our community supporting local stores as much as they can. Jelly Modern has also been collaborating with other local businesses to support each other during these uncertain times.

Jelly Modern Doughnuts now offers curbside pickup, contactless delivery right to your door and online orders so that you can enjoy your doughnuts whichever way you choose. You can support Jelly Modern by simply enjoying their doughnuts and spreading the word about their unforgettable flavour.
