J. Co Donuts

After a really long wait, we got to try J. Co Donuts already!!! *clap clap*

I've seen this so many times in Singapore and Malaysia but unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to try it. I was so happy to hear that they opened in Manila few months ago. But then, Megamall and the succeeding branches were a bit far from us so I had to wait until Greenbelt branch opens.


We got two dozens of donuts since it'll appear cheaper for Php550 only, rather than getting a dozen for Php350 or P42 if bought per piece. Line was really long even at 11am and choices were a bit limited. Good thing I still got some of the flavors that we wanted to try. I cannot remember all but included in our orders were Choconuttzy, Alcapone, Blue Berry Spears, Don Mochino, Coco Loco, Oreology, Blue Berrymore, Avocado di Caprio, Crunchy Crunchy, Chocolate Caviar Chocolate and Meisisipi.


My top picks:

  • Choconuttzy- I love peanut butter so no wonder Choconuttzy appeals to me. The peanut butter ganache is so good! I also love the peanut cream and chocolate filling of this donut.
  • Alcapone- You can never go wrong with almonds.  Despite not being a fan of white chocolate, I liked the how the white chocolate complements the crunchy almonds on top. I can eat the toppings as is.
  • Don Mochino- Coffee lovers (like me) must not miss this. It was love at first sight taste. From the dark Belgian chocolate topping to the cappuccino cream fillings, it's perfect!
I never reheat the donuts before eating them. Even if it stays on the fridge for a couple of days, it remains soft unlike other donuts. I like the toppings (especially the choco ones) cold also; it's like munching on a chocolate bar. Sweetness of the donut is just right that's why I prefer it over other donut brands.

Have you tried J. Co? What are your favorites?

Alcapone and Blue Berrymore are my favorites! I'd like to try their bite-size donuts but they always ran out sabi ng sister ko.

I went to their Mega Mall branch but didn't find something I liked. I guess I'm just not a donut person. BUT, I will give them a try one of these days. hehe

i bought a box from pavillion mall in KL, unfortunately we didnt like it all, the choco flavored donut tasted like country style at double the cost.. i found the dough very rough and not soft..., we couldnt finish the box/// i still prefer krispy kreme original glaze

Badet said...

Tried it too. But it's not something that I would crave very often. The donuts are just pretty to look at.

Now I really need to try these too! :D

Since KK already has branches here in Cebu, I think this will be on our pasalubong wishlist if someone goes to Manila. :)
