BURP GUIDE - J.CO Donuts & Coffee

by Ichi Pestano - September 26, 2012

I thought milk tea stores were the only ones having blockbuster lines. It's so surprising that a donut store has unimaginable long lines no matter what time of the day!

If it's just for curiosity, I doubt it. Imagine, waiting for at least 40 minutes????? Their donuts must be really really good. So, I tried it....and I have only four words to say... "It's worth the wait."

J.CO is from Indonesia. It's nice to have an Asian brand here that sells amazing donuts! They have branches at SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall and Trinoma. I don't know if there are new stores though. The line is just so freaking long everytime I pass by J.CO.

They are making each donut by hand. They will mass produce the base and put on the flavor one by one, but it's not the reason for the long queue. It's just that people really prefer this now and forgot other donut stores....HAHA! :P

Let's take a look at some of their precious creations!

Their best seller.... ALCAPONE. My favorite too! It looks so simple, but very very very delicious! This must have at least one slot in your box!

They have coffee, tea and some blended beverages too. They also serve yogurt. I will try this on my next visit.

Now, the price. A donut costs 42 pesos. It will be too expensive if you buy per piece. The 2 dozen deal is the most sulit. The price is 550, so that would be 23 pesos per donut! Woah! Half dozen is 230 and a dozen of these heaven sent donuts costs 350. Not bad!
