Parking is no issue, I went in around 8:30 and there was a line or 5 already. Plain glaze were sold out that early in the morning- if you are planning on wanting a certain type of donut I'd plan on ordering ahead. It happened that this day specifically the card reader was down so they were taking cash only. The woman working was doing the best she could (even despite the rude people asking to take donuts and come back later to pay??) so props to her!! I received an assortment dozen and they smelled freaking amazing and looked as good as they smelled! The maple donuts went over best and I just wish I could've gotten a glaze one! Overall if you're in the Carmel area and looking for good donuts - Jacks is your go to!

The donuts are fresh, huge, and having them at my doorstep where I didn't need to even go out in the cold could not have made this situation easier. If you haven't tried Jacks, do it.

In fact, I rarely eat donuts; but I do know flavor and I really enjoyed each of the ones I bought at Jack's. Why you may want to go here: 1. They accept credit cards here so you don't have to stop at a bank machine to have enough cash like at Long's. 2. Although I didn't use it, they have a drive through lane so you don't have to get out of your car. 3. They have a wide variety of donuts. Even within categories, they may have some filled with raspberry jelly, Bavarian creme, or sweet white fluffy filling. 4. They offer some powdered, some flaky, some drizzled or spread with chocolate. 5. The apple fritter I picked up was so good, that I got maybe two bites before my wife finished it off. She normally likes yeast donuts, but she tore into that one and made it disappear like magic! 6. They have indoor seating and offer some beverages to go with your order. 7. They had several folks working behind the counter (one kept restocking the front order counter). Very pleasant and patient with customers. 8. Very reasonably priced. I got all four of my selections for under $5. For anyone who complains about these being too expensive, try making them at home and you will find out that the price is very reasonable. 9. All the stuffed donuts were filled almost end to end. I am so tired of other places that put a glob of filling in one end leaving the other end empty. Not here! 10. Even if you decide to stop in, there is plenty of free parking outside the shop. And that's why I liked picking up donuts here! Review #3704

I've joked about the donut wars going on in Avon, Indiana as my life has taken me through Hendricks…read moreand Putnam counties quite a bit lately. Avon has at least four donut shops within 1-2 miles of each other - Parlor, Dunkin, Pana, and Carl's. Of these, Carl's is clearly the "local" shop. It has the look and feel of a gathering place. While the others do offer sit-down dining, especially Parlor, Carl's feels like a smalltown donut joint with its simple but pleasant decor, lower pricing, and comfortable but pleasing service. Carl's Donuts & Bakery is a locally owned donut shop (Pana is also locally owned, though a growing chain). Carl's also doubles as a cafe and also serves other breakfast items alongside its donuts. The major plus to this approach for a guy like me is that fountain drinks are available including iced tea. I'm constantly dismayed how hard it is to get iced tea in donut shops. I was dismayed to read Jen F's review noting poor customer service as my experience was quite the opposite with customer service being a key strength. The basics: Carl's is located in what looks like a small office complex with a mix of retail and personal service type businesses. It's toward the back. There's some accessible parking and appropriate curb cuts. There's a double entry with glass doors that were pretty easy to manage. As you enter, a dining area is directly to the front of you and to the right side. To the left is the ordering area - I think I goofed up at entry - you begin toward the back and then exit out the front path. I went in through the front, though there wasn't a line and no one said anything. The employees asked if I was ordering breakfast or donuts. I typically get 2-3 donuts and a drink. I stuck with this plan, however, given the comfy atmosphere opted to dine in. I haven't had much time to rest recently and it was nice to sit down. I felt a little out of place (everyone else was clearly local), though everyone was friendly. I ordered chocolate covered yeast donuts and a fountain unsweetened iced tea. They offer discounts, it seems to military, teachers, and first responders. The donuts had a slightly thicker yeast than some that lean toward fluffy. These were more substantial. The chocolate reminded me of Titus Bakery. The iced tea was great - no clue on brand. I could have stuck with two donuts instead of three and been satisfied. The service was a top feature here for me. They were friendly, helpful, and patient as I figured things out. I watched them easily serve a group of senior males gathering in one corner (pouring coffee, etc.). Carl's does not have a drive-thru. Their Facebook indicates they offer curbside pick-up. In future visits, I'd likely experiment with donuts. This particular chocolate is not a favorite for me. I enjoyed it, but I'd easily experiment. There's no doubt I'd return for the service. At a time when I've recently lost my last family member, it was nice to be in a comfortable, welcoming, and warm environment. It did my spirit good. I would also love to return to enjoy a meal here. Carl's wasn't packed, but it was steady throughout my visit and it's clear that Avon loves its donuts and it loves its smalltown gathering spaces.

There was a line of people waiting patiently to select their donuts when we walked in. There were many cases filled with fresh donuts, fritters, danish, turnovers and more. Two clerk were assisting customers, most of whom were buying several dozen donuts. I got a glazed donut and my husband got an apple fritter. The fritter was bigger than his head. My glazed donut was a cake donut. It was light with a perfect glaze. The apple fritter was like a coffee cake with lots of apples and a glazed topping. He shared the fritter with our granddaughters. There was plenty to go around. The cafe serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have daily meal specials. The lady in line ahead of us said the pork tenderloin is the best in town. Pork tenderloin is only served Monday-Thursday. We'll have to come back. They have about 20 tables for eat-in dining. There is a unisex restroom. Stop #4 of the donut trail will require a return visit.
