Products

J.CO's donut flavors are either named using eponyms or word plays such as puns. One example is, Alcapone, the most popular donut flavor, inspired by most-wanted Italian American gangster Al Capone. As of 2017, they have launched over 45 flavors, some of which are inspired by local tastes such as their kaya donut and kurma donut.[4]

Some complementary products they sell include J.CRONUT (croissant donuts), J.POPS (mini bite-size donuts), J.CLUB (donut sandwiches), J.COOL (frozen yogurt), and gourmet selections of pastries, sandwiches and salads. The J.COFFEE line features a variety of coffee beverages ranging from the classics to iced blends.
