Our eldest sister arrived from the airport just this evening, and as usual all four of us sisters went on a foodtrip. We drove to Eastwood where we ate at Bigoli (we missed the bread sticks lol) and at J. Co.Although I have tried their doughnuts, I have never yet tried J. Co's beverages because I thought they looked too sweet. So it was my first time to try one. We never ordered donuts, just drinks (which came with free glazed donuts, anyway):⚪Jcoccino Frappe (uno, ₱135)⚪Hot Hazelnut Latte (uno, ₱120)⚪Iced Jcoccino Affogato (uno, ₱155)⚪Iced Cafe Avocado Affogato (uno, ₱155) - my order.I was surprised that my drink was not sweet at all! It was good, and I liked the dark chocolate ice cream (or gelato) on top too. It was only ruined by too much ice though.Nice place too -- warm colors and lights -- although I thought it looked a bit outdated. Cozy, to boot.▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪Update:My family and I trooped to J.Co last Easter Sunday and had coffee there. While others had their own frappes and iced coffee (which came with free doughnuts), my Nanay and I had the Hot Jcoccino (plus free doughnuts too).It was my first time to have a hot coffee at J. Co. I liked it. It was not too sweet even if I added brown sugar in it. There was definitely strength in this coffee, and it looked pretty too because of the cute piece of chocolate that floated on the surface, which was then stirred and melted in the drink.I also decided to order J. Cool frozen yoghurt ("Sharing" size, with four preferred toppings, for the price of ₱190). The package was misleading -- when we thought that the servings were a lot, it was actually served on a shallow plastic container mounted on an small empty paper box. Madaya. 😒 But the taste was good. Even my niece -- who doesn't normally eat fruits -- liked the froyo and the toppings. I thought she'd be turned off at how sour the froyo was, but to my surprise and delight, she liked it. 😊

Their place here is big. It's cool inside. The lighting on the counter is bright and a bit dark on the entrance and on the back (I don't know, maybe it's their opening?), well that shouldn't be the case. It looked unlively inside except for the counter.Service is so so. The man on the counter should at least smile (his face has no emotion while getting my order).I ordered Iced Hazelnut Chocolate (size: due, P135.00) which comes with FREE Glazzy (actually, I don't know this one, I thought the order on the counter isn't mine since I didn't order any donut). I checked my receipt and I asked one of the staff, and I was informed that every order of a drink, I can get a free Glazzy. Not a bad deal right?Verdict: Their Iced Hazelnut Chocolate is so sweet and I like it, and when I like it, I can consume it all easily. It's not bland, and you'll feel how thick what your drinking is. I'm also loving the whip cream.As for their Glazzy, it's too soft and not too sweet. It's too soft to the point that it seems it's filled with air. Anyway, it's free so just enjoyed it. I don't want to compare but for this type of donut only, I like Starbucks' Glazed donut which I find bigger and tastier especially when its hot.Anyway, I still like J.Co's creative and cool way of introducing different flavored donuts (I like the Cheesy one).
