They have always made the donuts fresh here in this store and continued to do so they look beautiful and are fresh every day. The only big change is that they had the collection of Jack's specialty coffees, and that has come down from six to just for coffees with a breakfast blend, and a couple others. Their donuts are always fantastic and look great. The people behind the counter are always super friendly and the store is very welcoming even though it is in part of the strip mall. I'm glad they stayed open and are doing things their way with just a new name. Because it's always a great morning experience there. Always tons of conversation with the people behind the counter and great donuts. it's usually pretty crowded, there's always large groups of people just sitting, relaxing in this great atmosphere, typically older folks that seem to find the place very welcoming, as well as families coming in. Highly recommended, just because they changed their name away from the chain, everything here is still great and fresh.

Sure I could have gone back to the counter for my refund, but then I would've been running late. Nice place and staff was polite, but just seemed like such an easy thing to ask for and she couldn't understand "Cold Brew Coffeee"

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.

Located just off Washington Street behind The Med, they're such an easy location to access with complementary parking right outside the front door. This site is extremely spacious with plenty of indoor only seating and complementary WiFi. With drip coffee, craft coffee concoctions, and other beverages on the menu, you'll have no problem finding something to wet your whistle as you dive in to an indulgent feast of Jack's well known donut options. The staff is just lovely here! After being open only one day, patrons were flooding this site and came ready with inquiries. The staff members patiently provided answers and were total pros! Not in the mood for donuts? (I don't even understand those words, but to each their own. Lol!) Not a problem here! Homemade ice cream can also be found on their menu. Accepting credit cards, cash, kindness, and compliments, Jacks's Donuts is a great addition to downtown Irv! Welcome to our little neighborhood!

Irvington gets a donut shop!…read more I love a good donut, but really it's an impulse...it needs to be close to work or close to home, and for me.... there wasn't a spot convenient to either, UNTIL NOW! I had my hesitations about Jack's ... who knows why... but I learned so much more about Jack's and - of course - tried it out, and I am so happy they are here in the neighborhood. For one, they have both cake and yeast donuts. This is an absolute must for me. I love my cake donuts. Their yeast donuts are probably fine, but just don't really eat plain yeast, but the filled and topped creative yeast donuts, that's my JAM (lol...). I truly enjoy their creative flavors, many of which switch up frequently, so you gotta be a repeat offender to get the full value here! You know what else I found out? The various Jack's locations have a lot of room for creativity, so it's worth it to hop to our neighborhood to try out what Irvington is doing differently (and also for us to check out the other Jack's locations as well). I might just find a different fave at EACH store! Faves at the Irivington location are - NUT STICK and Blueberry cake. I have to have one of each whenever I go. I like trying whatever is their current special too! I have had a jelly filled with pb frosting - PB&J in donut form! Bluberry filled with white frosting - Berries & Cream! This location also has ice cream and stays open until 8pm, so definitely available for dessert after pizza, burger or greek from nearby locations! And, yes, they incorporate donuts and ice cream. I have not yet tried, but someday when i've run 10 miles and feeling very hungry, I'm going to try a donut ice cream sandwich! Until then, I'll be munching on a tasty donut every so often from this great new neighborhood spot!
