Customer Reviews

Jack ?N? Jill Donuts & Kolaches is the small-town donut shop that envelopes you with nostalgia the moment you step through the door. It?s filled with old-school charm, and it is such a pleasant change of pace from the crowded, loud, and stale ?franchise? shops. It?s a hometown donut shop that is personable and offers exceptional customer service and fresh homemade delights. I wished I had discovered this secret gem years ago! We stop by every time we are in Temple and never miss a visit to Jack ?N? Jill Don

I live on Waco and have not found a good donut anywhere in this town. Jack and Jill in Temple is WONDERFUL! The donuts are light, tender, and delicious! Worth the 40 min drive!

Ordered Mother's Day donuts. Took my order over the phone in advance. They also do Birthday donuts! So cute. It was $25 for the set. Fresh and tasted good.

1st time going there. Very happy with the service. Got my hole staff doughnuts and kolaches

atmosphere in my case has no bearing since i pulled through the drive through but not changing rating due to quality of food and service. These two are invaluable.

I work the night shift so I show up around this shop's opening time when I get off and they're always nice and the food is always good! I either grab something for me or something for my family and everything is fresh and served quickly!

Jack?n Jill Donuts was just what I was craving as I was headed to Dallas from Austin. It is a classic donut shop in Temple. I unfortunately couldn?t go in to see the wife variety of donuts but my old fashioned and kolache were just as expected- hit the spot!

Donuts were very fresh and super good customer service,,,highly recommend

I used to love coming here for yrs for my family and my company! The food is amazing, well priced and fast. But now I will no longer be coming because of their new staff. I do not go there to be harassed about religion and to be coerced into their beliefs. My company and my family will no longer be visiting this establishment. anyone who does not follow the Christian/catholic route, just be weary of having anything showing of your own religion unless you want someone talking mess to you about what you belie

I was on my way to San Antonio from Arlington, when traffic was detoured due to an accident. I stopped when I saw the donut shop. The donut I chose didn't have any filling for that particular donut. Jill (Jack & Jill, lol) offered to fill it for me...yummy. The breakfast croissant was very good also. My new stop by on my drive home from Arlington.

My first time visiting Jack'n Jill Donuts in Temple, Texas. The staff there are nice and friendly. As for their food I Love how soft and fresh their food is. Tasted their kolache's honey bread and sausage and honey cheese and sausage kolache amazingly good. Price is reasonable. Wish that I was able to try the jalapeno one but they had nomore that says it all. But everything else was very, very soft and tasty. My favorite one of all was their cinnamon roll and my coffee ? which I always make at home; nev

The softest donuts ever! Amazing!! We drove 45mins to try these well worth it. Don?t let the appearance fool you. We got a half dozen and couldn?t wait to try them before taking a picture.

We go every single morning to get donuts for our daughter. They are always friendly, smiling, they know our order before we even get to the window. The donuts are amazing.

This place is always quick and ready every morning when I swing by. Something important to note is that for the longest time I had become sickened by donuts, I could hardly even finish a single one. This place is changing my mind on how good donuts are, I've been coming here at least once if not multiple times a week. It comes highly recommended by me and I recommend the chocolate sprinkles!

Their establishment looks and smell dirty. Food has bland flour aftertaste, Walmart doughnuts taste 100 percent better. The food is nasty and restrooms are literally near the food service area . I'm surprised health department hasn't cited them.

Love these donuts. Excellent quality and taste.

Friend brought me jack and jill donut sausage got gravely sick after eating.

The food was amazing! My husband says the boudin kolache was the best he has ever had. Flavorful boudin with just the right touch of cheese to be a compliment, balanced by the light/ fluffy bread and a touch of sweetness on the outside. We will be going back the next time we head through Temple! P.S. the family all had great things to say about the doughnuts they ate as well. I ate the boudin kolache.

The service was the best thing ever , and the food was everything . Really enjoyed it , i recommend !

Its horrible to say, but I come very often here! The Cassi and Ericka are amazing and always greet me with a smile and always are very quick about getting me my order! BTW the Mocha cappuccino is AMAZING!!! 11 OUT OF 10 they make my day so much better??

Got lemon filled, blueberry, and chocolate glazed donuts along with sausage and cheese donuts. Also got two boba milk teas. The location was convenient enough, service was quick but they did prioritize drive through over walk in customers (standard practice so not a negative imo just a note). The boba was not the best but it wasn?t bad. The milk tea itself was fine. The blueberry donuts were my favorite, and they heated up my kolaches to make sure they were nice and warm. They had lots of interesting optio

Good place to stop passing through. The ladies in there very nice and patient when trying TY figure out what you want.

Not bad. Pretty decent donut shop. The kolache bread has a slight honey taste, which I personally like but some people don't. I really like their jalapeno sausage. The donuts are good and the owner has been experimenting with iced drinks, she has iced Cambodian coffee and iced Thai tea now. The iced coffee is good, tastes chocolatey sort of like a mocaccino. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast.

Love to go here lots of old school charm

Amazing donuts, quick service, great if your doing errands

Extremely disappointed you would expect when you get there first thing in the morning that they would have plenty of selection of donuts well I was completely and totally wrong. I wound up having to settle I don't think in this day and time and age that what's the price of everything that we should have to settle be more prepared for good morning Rush have more of a selection ready for purchase. Extremely disappointed

These ladies give their all every single day. The food is always exceptional and their pleasant smiles and phenomenal service ate always on par! Ty for all ya'll do- great job!

I loved this place! The place was swamped in DT and whenever I walked in to only see one person behind the counter I got worried that it would take forever. The girl worked so well though and I was out of there in a jiffy. She was very nice and helpful with deciding on a donut. Prices were very reasonable. The kolache and Bavarian ? filled donut was absolutely delicious! Its dangerously close to my work too so this will most likely become a frequently visited spot for me!

I had gone here for birthday donuts only to find the store was closed. If the stores normal hours were 5 to 1 like the other stores I still would?ve had 45 minutes before the store closed. But with the hours now closing at 3 PM I was two hours and 45 minutes before they closed. I am so severely disappointed in this store. I understand if they had sold out but there was no indication they had. Set a foul taste in my mouth that should have been filled with donuts

Donuts reasonably priced. I went there is a Sunday and it was a one-man (actually a lady) operation. She answered the phone, served me inside and the store and managed the drive thru window without skipping a beat. The donuts were really tasty and fresh. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely my favorite love there donuts light and airy how I like it. Don't feel like a pound of sugar and heavy. It's very tasty ?? and there always have great customer service.

Delicious with a drive thru. The Earl Campbell sausage kolache is really really good. I'm an apple fritter fan and these are some of the best I've had.

I drove across town to try this place out and was not dissapointed. The doughnuts were delicious both the light glazed and the heavy cake type. I tried the "Earl" as recommended by another reviewer and it was awesome!!! I think this must be the best doughnut shop in Temple! I've tried other and wasn't impressed.... they do not have great coffee though as another person suggested lol. Drinkable but not great

As a child I grew up in Waco, Texas and I had a uncle that worked at Jack'n Jill Donuts and he would bring us donuts every weekend. I was very apprehensive to try this place because I didn't want to be disappointed. Let me just tell you I was not disappointed the recipe is just like I remembered. Donuts just melt in your mouth...

Terrible service ruined my morning. I won't be eating at any jack and Jill ever again

Best kolaches hands down. The bread isn't super dense and dry like others I've had. My kids love the donuts and the service is always excellent.

Rudest donuts I've been to since first coming. Will only use as a last resort... Maybe... Service was terrible...

Family style food, with so many choices to choose from. Everyone that works there is delightful and kind. Especially Sam. She does a little bit of everything around the restaurant, but can be found mostly near the bar and soda ?? fountain area. Cece

Oh man the Boudin kolache! It completely changed my outlook on life. I couldn?t even take a picture due to me inhaling the food.

My favorite jalape?o cheese sausage kolache and old fashioned donut in Temple! Staff is nice and efficient. Admittedly would go at least once a week when I lived within walking distance!

First time here and it was amazing. I can't believe I've been missing out this whole time. The service was great and the donuts, kolaches, and breakfast tacos were even better! Everything tastes homemade.

I first started patronizing Jack'n Jill at their Killeen location which is closer to home but their Temple location is closer to work and it is my favorite! Everything tastes better and is fresher at this location. Omg! Bacon, egg, and chesse croissant and an old fashioned doughnut are my favorite. I tried the sausage and cheese kolache based on other reviews, bread was amazing but the sausage is a hotdog which is gross so I was disappointed with that.

I purchased the raspberry filled donuts they were very good all the other options looked delicious as well and friendly staff

I purchased a glazed old fashioned donut. When I bit into it, there was a bug baked in the donut. When I returned it, they weren't very concerned. She offered me another donut. I told her it would be a really long time before I would want of their donuts again. They didn't bother to check the dough or the other donuts. She just pitched it in the trash.

Very nice fluffy doughnuts. The bread used to bake the kolache is just deliciousness! It's definitely my favorite donut shop in town.

Pretty nice place. Just need to pay attention to the flies getting into the donut case display. Would have purchased more donuts but when I saw the fly in the glass display was a bit of a turn off.

Clean restrooms and the ladies are so nice and fast. Love it !!!

Pretty good food and we do get food from them every Sunday morning. They lack two stars because my sausage and jalape?o kolachi never seems to have jalape?os.

Every Sunday I treat myself before Sunday a school and church start to the Jalape?o and cheese sausage kolache with a cold Diet Coke and it is delicious ! The kolache melts in your mouth and I am ready for church to get my praise and worship on! Great Doughnuts too!

I have been going for more than 20 years the donuts always taste good. And the people they have work in there are usually very nice.

Got a dozen doughnuts and a bacon croissant sandwich. It was all fresh and tasted amazing. Definitely stopping by next time im in Temple.

I've loved this place ever since I was a little girl. Their kolaches are so delicious, and they have chocolate covered donut holes. What's better?

Good service, donuts were fresh. She gave us free donuts. that always makes you come back again. To that means our business was appreciated...

Waited for ever for our order to get done. Seemed like they were more concentrated getting the To GO orders done first.

I haven't eaten at j&j in along time it was okay I got a bacon sausage and cheese croissant and the old fashioned cake donut the cake donut wasn't like it used to be but it was okay I'll go there again

Great donuts I have been going there years since I was a kid always great I like the glazed donuts and chocolate ones too and bear claw are awesome. Best place to get dounts.

The Donuts are outstanding as well as their other food selections. We have been almost every day!

This particular store is GREAT!!!!! I wish the other Jack and Jill in Sparda was as good as THIS ONE! The store on Sparda donuts holes are as HARD as a rock.

Jack and Jill is that little Hidden Gem I'm glad they have two of them definitely who are the price in fact the price of the matter when you have quality Donuts

Best donuts in town. Hands down beats the Shipley's here in Temple every time. They're fresher and better tasting.

We were just passing through and found a gem. Very fast friendly service. The doughnuts were delicious. Coffee was good.

Best Donut Place In Town, Hands Down! Let?s Argue about it. ???????

Delicious sausage cheese kolaches! Very friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommend!

Definitely my new favorite donut place. Reminds me of my hometown donut shop.

Will definitely be back

Coffees and donuts and other snacks are really good slots of seating to set and enjoy y'all check it out and really nice people

This place is a comfort food, it is also like the old style donut shop, if you are looking for a place to get donuts, a cup of coffee and have a chat they have the space.

Stopped thru from Austin...tried the apricot filled, delicious! Even my coworkers loved the glazed & other filled donuts! :-)

It's a great place to go get donuts but in the there only one cashier run the driver Through and inside for one person

The staff is always friendly, the sausage kolaches are fresh, and the donuts are so very yummy.

Always great donuts. My favorite donuts between temple and belton. Lots of variety too, including kolaches.

Good donuts and fast service for as busy as they were.

Long drive thru line so I parked and went in, service was quick and the ladies that worked there were very nice

Some of the best donuts I've had. And the staff gets out of their way to get you what you want.

Purchased donuts and kolaches thru the drive thru went in to use restrooms and the lady rudely tells my son their restrooms are not working...how can you operate a business with out restrooms?...

Friendly service and very quick when placing and receiving my order. I will always go here for my donuts.

I will not compare to other Donut shops because there is no comparison. They are wonderful!

Awesome place croissants are amazing my favorite breakfast spot

Super fresh doughnuts in a no nonsense establishment. Efficient staff. Yellow building. ??

Just walk in the smell is like a drug. ?? Service is great which makes the experience even better.

It has been a long time since I went to jack and jill. Very good and tasty alternative to the other game in town.

Donuts were perfectly cooked & just the right amount of chocolate frosting on top.

Top notch best donuts in bell county

Best place to get my Thai tea boba ??????

I have loved this place since I was a child! And still do! Great staff, great prices!

I absolutely love their donuts, especially the raspberry filled....I just wish they were open later (cravings).

Best croissant sandwiches ever and awesome donuts
