I really, REALLY wanted to give this place 5 stars but I just can’t. Compared to a place like Hurts Donuts or idk any other hometown coffee and donut place and I’m left wanting. The coffee is…well what anyone can do with a dual espresso maker but the donuts? Aside from being “fresh” made in a bucket for everyone to see …they’re beyond basic, not inspired by any means, and did I say basic? You got your donut ring in essentially 4-5 never changing iced flavors. Boring. Par for the course for SUX but some of us new residents demand better. Up your game otherwise we’ll patronize the next guy that does. This city NEEDS some inspiration and creativity and beauty. Do your part Jitters. The decor can stay

Ok this place is legit! Fantastic donuts and a band of enthusiastic, eclectic and fun individuals working there. Their regular coffee is pretty weak, midwest see through but has good flavor. I do wish I ordered an ameracano or espresso with it. Other that, this is an awesome place and earned 5 stars from me. If you are in Soiux City and you dont get a donut here you are a loser or possibly a diabetic and get a pass maybe.. Either way walk an extra mile double up the insulin and enjoy.

Cutest donut shop in Sioux City, friendly staff and amazing owner! Recommend for family outings! Menu go toos: pizza wrap and white coconut donuts. Pictured is their new cups for blended drinks and smoothies. Vanilla bean iced coffee is my favorite cold drink. The patio is so beautiful in the spring, the owner fills it with flowers making it feel like a garden in the city!

It wasnt what I typically expect from a coffee shop. Its more like a short menu restaurant that also has some coffee. The Hot drink menu was pretty plain with the most exotic item being a steamer. I may have gone at the wrong time, but it was very loud with a lot of kids (I assume enjoying Sunday lunch and thats great), but unexpected for a shop with a name so dedicated to coffee. I didnt try the food so Im just rating on the ambiance and coffee selection.

Donuts and iowegian breakfast wrap are good. The girls work really hard and are very nice but the donut maker with the hat was very rude and frustrated. :/

We both had the Southwest Burrito that had kind of a sweet sauce on it. It was okay.The reason I gave it two stars was because not a single worker in there had a mask on. Not even the guy making the donuts. Gross.

Their donuts are really good when they are hot. The last couple times I stopped they were not making them so I had to get whatever was on the shelf. The other day I thought I was in luck because they were making them.I asked for a hot donut but the guy making them said he had to get rid of the ones on the shelf first. I said thats ok as long as they were hot.Anyway, long story short, they were not even warm. The donut maker was not friendly nor was he truthful.If getting rid of the cold ones first is indeed a company policy, even if someone asks for a fresh one, its a bad one.

It had a very interesting vibe. The furnishings were very mismatched but in a good way. I only got an Irish Cream flavored latte but it was very average coffee.

This was a cute little coffee shop service was quick and happy and the whole place smelled delicious like donuts. The decaf coffee was cold and not the greatest and the cold brew is not the best tasting Ive ever had. Wish I had tried a pastry though.

This place needs a good one over. The food and coffee are actually pretty decent but the place is so confusing and not customer friendly. They have two places to order, they dont have a menu out and when you ask while ordering what breakfast wraps do you have then they hand you a big menu. Why didnt we see that when waiting 5 minutes in line? The decor needs a little help and coherence. The prices and food/coffee saved this place from being a one or two. Luckily thats what matters.

Best doughnuts in town. Hands down and no comparison. Get em warm and enjoy a great cup of joe while there or take em home and mow them down in private. I remember getting Sunshine doughnuts when they were on W. 7th as a kid.... best memories are the little ones. When new relatives or friends to the area come around- always start their day with them and sometimes at the shop. Never heard a lets not go back there.

I have been to Jitters 2 times - the 2nd time was to give a second chance. I tend to give benefit of the doubt and error in people having an ‘off day’ or what not. On both visits I was surprised employees were not wearing masks. They handled food, drinks, cash and cards. Both times there was the same guy making donuts out front wearing a ball cap backwards with his hair sticking out out from under it as well has a beard of sorts. He was not wearing a hair net. I am not the health department nor do I claim to know health codes or regulations. I prefer to spend my money and give my business to a place that follows health/hygiene guidelines (hairnets)and takes precautions for the safety and well being of their customers.

Love the donuts 🍩... they claim they taste just like Sunshine’s donuts but I don’t agree... they are similar but not exactly the same... don’t get me wrong they are great tasting and don’t leave that greasy after taste that some cake donuts leave... I definitely think you will love them if you try them and since Sunshine donut counters no longer exist this will cure the cravings for one!

I made my first visits to Jitters recently to get doughnuts, since Caseys isnt offering cake doughnuts during the virus crisis. Jitters doughnuts were fresh and delicious, and they had my desired coconut available. The cafe has a good ambiance.However, the unfriendly service made a very poor first impression. A smile and a thank you goes a long way.

Visited from out of town. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the prices and quality were great! One wrap fed two of us for about $6.75. I had a cinnamon latte and it was fantastic -- not overly sweet at all, as some other cafés lattes tend to be. Id love to visit again if Im in the area.

The donuts are the draw. Very busy on Saturday morning. You will wait in a long line for great taste. Their veggie wrap is also fantastic. Lacking in space when there is a crowd. Nice for intimate gatherings like a book club. Their lattes are watery.

Simple delicious donuts. quaint atmosphere with a twist of home. If youre looking for a place to go relax and enjoy a cup of coffee this is the place. The help is friendly, they have free wifi, and couches to relax on while you wind up or wind down your day. I love the J bar, its cornflakes with peanutbutter and gooey sauce all over them. Give it a try.

Doughnuts are amazing! The best I’ve ever had. The owner is really kind and if any of the staff chooses to act otherwise (which I know they have) I wouldn’t hold it against this business, they’re one of the best coffee shops and quality delicious doughnuts I’ve ever had. Will always remain a customer no matter how the staff treats me or anyone else, cause I believe in the owner.

Out-of-towner review: Jitters restaurant. What a nice cafe eatery. Great coffees, Homemade & fresh donuts, breakfast burritos (with recommended customization by staff), cool wraps, hot wraps, plenty of comfortable cafe table seating, couches, artwork, and an attentive,, friendly & professional staff. Tasty California breakfast burrito, donuts & Americano. Not sure what else these fine people could do better. Very impressive. Recommended highly.

I grew up on the north side of Sioux City in the 80s when Sunshine was still a store and had a cafe in the front of it. My mom would take us after church and we would get a six pack of doughnuts on the styrofoam tray. So needless to say its been a while since I have a Sunshine doughnut and this place delivered. Just like I remember them. Good job! I will be back whenever I am in town.

This was my first time ordering anything from this place (though I have had their donuts at work functions) but after hearing such good reviews about the coffee and doughnuts, I decided to give their lunch menu a try. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The Ravin Reuben is nothing to rave about. No flavor to it at all. Cheap corned beef and bland sauerkraut, which if you are the type of person who likes Reubens, you know the sauerkraut needs to pack a punch. The Thousand Island dressing was also very watered down and had pretty much all leaked out of the wrap, creating a soggy mess. I had ordered a meal with chips added for $1.00 extra and didnt notice until I got back to my workplace that I wasnt given any chips. When they took my order they told me to have a seat and they would bring out my food, and since nobody asked what type of chips I wanted I just assumed they would be plain potato chips or something. But the time it would take me to drive back there, show my receipt, and get the dang chips is worth more to me than the trouble of doing so. Im sure this place has great coffee and doughnuts, but Ill skip their lunch service next time.

While my family loves these doughnuts, definitely the best in town, I need to share my experience and disappointment. Took my daughters there today to get couple doughnuts each and we had to wait 30 mins. They obviously didnt make enough doughnuts or maybe they make them to order I dont know but thats basically what they were doing making them as the orders came in. Worse part is that there were people walking in and picking up 1 to 2 dozen doughnuts because apparently they called in there orders 🤔 while my girls stood there waiting and waiting. Come to find out they were filling call in orders before theirs. I was told they were filling them in the order they came and they were telling them theres a 45 min wait.. 🤬 ok but why would you make the people sitting in your restaurant wait 45 mins thats just ridiculously stupid. Makes no sense what so ever Jitters management you seriously need to fix that simple problem.

Place was busy and all the tables were dirty. I asked the owner if someone could clean off a table. Her response was Ill get to it when I can. She did manage to clear dishes but tables never got wiped off. Its unsanitary to eat at a dirty table after other people. I think she needs to hire more people for the busy times.
