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 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.
