Crema's Take

Jackson Donuts is a bustling San Jose spot that punches way above typical donut shop weight, thanks to their fresh, fluffy donuts paired with an impressive sandwich menu featuring standouts like the avocado croissant with Vietnamese coffee. The staff's genuine warmth shines through in small gestures—throwing in extra donuts with a dozen or surprising customers with free donut holes—making it feel less like a quick grab and more like visiting a neighborhood favorite. Despite the consistent crowds, the line moves fast and you'll walk out with quality breakfast that beats any chain, all at prices that feel honest.

Had the #18, very tasty and filling. The employees were very kind, we bought three sandwiches and they gave us free donut holes with our order. I appreciate this business!

My favorite local donut shop. They tend to be busy but they get people in and out very quickly. They have a variety of fresh yummy donuts and usually thrown in an extra when you purchase a dozen. My favs are the glaze, chocolate and cinnamon twists - love the classics. Their breakfast croissant sandwiches are really good too. I like the #1 with jalapenos. Can't go wrong here!

This place is always very busy, but the line moves quick. The sandwiches are excellent and far better and cheaper than any fast food location you could otherwise stop at. Great selection of big fluffy donuts. There looks to be a small area of outdoor seating (currently unavailable during shelter in place order).

A donut shop and a sandwich shop all in one. They have a wide range of fresh sandwiches my favorite being # 17 on the menu. The donuts actually taste fresh too. Not stale or days old. I notice they wear gloves while handling food so that's a plus. It may be packed, but that's due to the amount of people who love coming here each morning. The employee's are so sweet and nice to you. They even give you free donut holes to customers at times. The area may be small both the shop and parking. Although, I'd say the wait is worth.
