Jak's Donuts always deliver fresh donuts! Very friendly people who work there and very welcoming atmosphere!

First time I went to Jax's was an amazing experience, everyone was very friendly and helpful, not to mention it's very cost-effective and FRESH! They don't prepare the stuffed donuts ahead of time, it's prepared Fresh right in front of you, and to me, that's awesome! Just wanted to say thank you to all at Jax's for a Wonderful Experience, and I will definitely be back!! Also, Great to know that you're actually Open at 5:30 am, and I don't have to sit in the car waiting for you to open, and take out yesterday's donuts and put them in the microwave (LOL). You would be surprised to know how many establishments do that :-(( read more

Great donuts and great service!! I've been coming to Jak's for years. I recommend the blueberry cake donut and the cronut. They were a staple at this year's Galentine's too! Super cute heart shaped donuts. So yummy read more

Jak's Donuts - Heaven in a box!! - Donuts Near Me - Lafayette, Louisiana

Judging by the long lineup of cars, I would say it was a popular place. The two or three things I tried were awesome! My favorite is a secret because they tend to run out early. The people working there were very nice. read more

Kolaches, Croissants and their donuts( won't reveal my favorite) which a customer bought the Whole tray are by far the Best we've had since moving from Texas 5 years ago!! read more

Best in Lafayette for sure , donuts are so good and not overly sugary like most places here that are double dipped and kolaches are amazing !! read more

Man.. a lot have changed since the last time I had been here! I don't know what it is, but it's sooo much better now! Would definitely be my go to now! If only they can be one closer to me, I would go more often! I had the following: Glazed donuts Apple fritter Cinnamon roll Sausage jalapeño kolaches Breakfast tacos They were all good and delicious, but my favorite is the breakfast tacos, they are everything you want in a wrapped up tortilla! read more

See all

The kolaches used to be pretty good. Now, if you get there past 8am they taste like they've been sitting out for 5 hours. Why does this place not want to serve fresh food?? Super disappointing in what it's become and it's over priced for crappy food read more

Visiting from Texas and stopped by. The donuts here are delicious! We're always fans of blueberry cake donuts, plain glazed, chocolate covered sprinkle, cinnamon twists and Apple fritters and all of them were awesome. Not drenched in oil, very fluffy and the chocolate glazed donuts had a great flavor... we've had some at other donut shops that tasted like nail polish or play-do. I used to have the chocolate covered donut with the tiny ball sprinkles when I was a kid and haven't been able to find one at my donut shops in Houston. My husband went into Jaks this morning and couldn't find one. He asked one of the ladies there if there was one hiding somewhere, she went to the back, dipped a fresh one and put my special sprinkles on it. Made my day!! Thanks so much for the above and beyond customer service and for making such tasty donuts. We'll absolutely be back when we visit. read more

Although Louisiana has great food all around... I'm from Texas amd Jak's had more the Texas type kolaches... I just moved right down the street so this makes me a very happy camper!! read more

I've been here 2-3 times while visiting family, and the local owners have always been there, very friendly, and extremely helpful as I spent five minutes asking questions to ensure my child, who is highly allergic to nuts, was okay to eat their donuts (yes, one of the few places). I've eaten donuts all over the country, and they usually fall into three categories: airy and fluffy (Krispie Kreme), dense and sugary (Meche's), and more "bready" texture, which is Jaks. So you have to make sure the style matches your preference. The selection is small, but honestly I don't eat a lot of traditional donuts. I prefer the specialty items, so my rating is for two things: cake donuts and fritters. The apple fritters are especially tasty, very rich buttery, sweet, and crispy outside with a soft inside. Blueberry cake donuts have a great flavor and soft texture that can't be beat. Both delicious, I highly recommend. read more

Very friendly! Solid selection of donuts and kolaches. Brought my litttle ones with me and they loved it.

I would have to disagree with the previous review completely. Jak's has the best donuts in my opinon, they are always fresh when I get there at 8 am EVERY friday! I do not miss a friday :) Their donuts are not completely saturated with grease, you dont feel like they are sitting on your stomach all day long. Also, their icing is so much better then anyone elses that I have had, I do not want to discredit Meche's, I do love Meche's too. BUT the icing at Jak's coats the donuts very nicely and does not flake off like Meche's does. It is more gooey and yummy! They also make these really good Kolache's. They actually make 2 different kinds, one is really heave, the other has a Croissant breading around it and a half of the weiner. They are light and have a really good flavor! Also, I do not find the employees snooty at all, they just are really focused on getting those donuts out as quickly as possible! I know for a while they were short handed, maybe this is why someone would say that they would be snooty. But, I understand that it is very hard to find people who want to work these days, so I don't hold that against them. The owner and his wife are the nicest people I know! Give them a try, my crew at work is never disappointed! read more

Best donuts and kolaches in Lafayette! Owned by a very nice family! If you want them fresh, come here! They crank out donuts all day, but you have to get there early before they run out. read more

Jak's has great donuts! Our family and other people from work and many friends feel Jak's products are superior to the "leading" donut outlet in the area. A family owned business with superb customer service. read more

my donut was cold and tasted old! it will be my first and last time there.

Pretty good donut. Light, fluffy and fresh. The flavor is OK and the selection is not that big, hence my 3 star review. The girls that work here are nice and if you are craving a donut and in this neighborhood, give it a try! read more

I've personally been to every donut shop in Lafayette, and Jak's is the place to be if you want breakfast. Their donuts aren't greasy like Meche's. Cold or not they are still great. As for their kolaches, they are the main reason why I go there. Some are with sausage and cheese, some are with ham, either way I like them both. The bread is super sweet and buttery. Apple fritters and their french fillled are also at the top of my list. Over all, its my new hot spot. read more

def have the best kolaches around lafayette, really good donuts too. The people there are very nice too. only complaint is that their selection is kind of limited, i mean they have a lot of options but when i go they never consistently have the same selection of donuts every time. maybe i just want random ones lol def give them a try. read more
