    Haven't been to this Jack's donuts for a while, in a small strip mall on the south east side. The place was very busy today. There was a group of kids, probably six or seven kids there so it was a little noisier than most donut. Shops are in the morning, they have a little area where kids can color and TV on with some cartoons, so it's fun for the kids. I'm sure and I wasn't staying so it didn't matter. the counter was nice, I'm sure she's working three or four in the morning so I would expect she might be a little tired. However, the hardest part was that the donuts don't have labels on them so if you didn't recognize them, you had to ask what they were. I ended up getting an apple fritter and a long John. And cup of coffee. You make your own coffee they had a couple choices. I took the kind I usually like, but it doesn't taste quite the same as it does at the other jacks, so I'm not sure if it was labeled incorrectly, or had just been there for a while. in general experience and I would come back here certainly

    The doughnuts here was great as usual. I got some at work and wanted to try other options. I probably should've came earlier when they are hot and fresh. I'll be back to try other options

    Tried out Jack's Donuts - they were good! Had the glazed yeast donut and it's comparable to other donuts in town. They have a good selection of other flavors as well as iced coffees.

    A little assembly of the greatness I had to devour. (Croissant, Strawberry doughnut, Cinnamon Roll, Blueberry, and French Currlier (sp?)

    Well, here's to another one of the top donut shops in the Indianapolis area. Everyone knows of the main chains, but Jack's Dounuts are the real deal...not like those hard speedway rocks they pass off as doughnuts. First off, the place doesn't get super busy (probably due to having a lot of cashiers). Unlike Longs, they offer the ability to pay with credit cards. This probably speeds the process up and avoids you watching people fumbling in their purse for change. Secondly, their options are unique. Let me just say this..I love bread. So when I saw that they had a CROISSANT doughnut, I WAS ALL IN. That was probably the best thing I've ever had, it was super soft. It was the same as flying into space, grabbing a cloud, and eating it. Only the cloud was sweet. I digress. A lot of their items are unique. All of it is fresh. Their customer service is top notch. And the location is nice for those on the southside towards Emerson Ave. If this place doesn't satisfy your sweet tooth, I don't know what will.

    Went on opening day ready to have them convince me that they are at least as good as my favorite Long's donuts. Things I liked: Easy to get to location. HUUUGE donuts! Bavarian creme filled, chocolate iced donuts..yuuuummy! That they buy their coffee from Harvest Cafe coffee roasters (the Caramel Crunch coffee still has me drooling when I think about it.) Great chairs in case you want to hang out and maybe use your laptop. A small but fun kids play area with a ton of crayons to keep little ones busy. Lots of tv's. The owners and staff are crazy friendly and make you want to go back! Super clean and well decorated interior. Great selection of HUUUGE donuts! Things I don't like: That they are only 3 minutes from my house cause they are gonna make me fat. Give them a try. They are just the kind of family owned business we want in Franklin Township.

    Initial impression is great! Good selection. Friendly staff. Modern and clean facility. Small area for kids to play or color. More than I would expect or need from a simple donut shop.

    I was very badly wanting to give this a four star review, but I felt, in the end, I had to put it at an average. Firstly, I wanted to say that the service was top notch and the person behind the counter was super friendly and talkative and was an appreciator of good foods. This gave me high hopes for the donuts that I would be trying. I had ordered a blueberry, cherry, and strawberry cake, a maple covered cream filled donut, and a cookies n cream cinnamon roll & Reeses pieces cereal cinnamon roll. When I got the donuts back, I found out I got two strawberry cakes and not a strawberry and cherry cake. All their cake donuts were good though. Their cream filled maple was alright, but felt it could have had more cream inside of it. What pushed for the three star was the cookies n cream & the Reeses cereal cinnamon rolls. Both had super stale toppings on them, so much so that I threw one of them out. I would think that if you were a foodie, you would want to make sure you had fresh cereal on your donuts. Even though I did get these at 2PM, it shouldn't have been this stale from being out one day. I will say to get the cake donuts though, they were definitely good. I just hope they make sure not to use stale cereal & Oreos in the future.

    Jack's started in my hometown and my dad was also a former employee. I'm so happy that I can still have such a great memory still come to life now that I live in Indy. Forever a family favorite!

    Jack's is just a short drive from me and is a nice little morning spot. Most of the staff that works weekends are area high school kids. I have never had a bad service experience. The kids are nice and very helpful with great attitudes. Everything from the coffee and donuts to the environment are above average!!

    I came for one free donut... and left with a box full of bad decisions…read more I'm originally from Connecticut and was driving through Indianapolis on my way back to Louisville when someone told me, "Don't leave Indianapolis without stopping at Long's Bakery." Whoever you are... thank you. You changed my life. The sweet woman behind the counter heard where I was from and handed me a complimentary glazed yeast donut. Let me tell you... WHEW! It wasn't even fresh out of the oven, and it still melted in my mouth. Light, soft, perfectly glazed... I knew right then I was in trouble. I ended up buying a box with blueberry cake, applesauce cake, cinnamon sugar, Bavarian cream, glazed yeast, and a few others. Everything was incredibly fresh, and at those prices, I had to double-check the menu because I thought I was reading it wrong! When I got back to my parents' house in Louisville, we warmed a few up for just a few seconds. Game over. They somehow tasted even better. My plan was to take some to church tomorrow to share... but judging by how fast they're disappearing, I may be testifying about them instead. Before I left, the woman smiled and said, "Make sure you come back when you're in town." Oh, I'll be back. I may even create reasons to drive through Indianapolis now. Long's Bakery doesn't need fancy displays or trendy flavors. They simply make outstanding donuts with friendly service and prices that make you wonder if they accidentally forgot inflation. 10/10. Worth every mile of the detour.

They are famous for their warm yeast donuts, however my favorite has to be the blueberry. What a delight! It's flavorful and the texture just melts in your mouth.

Honestly, the employees were not very friendly. I don't care that much about that in this instance because the baked goods made up for their demeanor. The brownie was nice and chewy. Very soft and even though it's super dark, it's not bitter and the salt flakes make it the perfectly balanced sweet and salty combo. Bread was insanely good. I got a half loaf of semolina and the spices on the outside are adjacent to Side Door Bagel's everything bagel seasoning.

This one is good for grab and go, unless it's nice out and then you can enjoy seating located out front. Service is friendly here. The workers are always up to answering any of my questions. They told me the olive bread is only sold on Wednesdays. I've never had it, but it sounds good. The bread I love is the focaccia. They sell it in a square loaf for $5. I like to eat this bread plain, with cheese, or make a sandwich with it. I also purchased a chocolate croissant (I love me a good chocolate croissant) and it was so flaky, buttery, and filling, very delicious. I warmed it up a bit at home and enjoyed every bite of it. Ive had a coffee from here and it was good, coffee and bread is a great combination. To get here, you have to find street parking as they don't have a parking lot. I usually find a side street to park at that doesn't charge.
