Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

when I need a donut fix. . the chocolate cake can’t be beat. Not a fan of the original. The sour cream is darn good too.

This spot is close to my house. It’s a good place to go when I want to be bad and eat stuff I should never eat. If you ever pick up a couple dozen donuts, get a few extra cinnamon apple filled and swing by my house for some coffee.

I love Krispy Kremes, well I used to! Stopped today around 2pm. It’s been about a year since my last trip. I ordered two kinds — both filled. The one filled with cream was stale tasting, what a disappointment! But worse, the other tasted like it was a week old. YUCK! Safeway donuts are better than this!
If this is how they are now, no sense in going back. I dumped the second in the garbage.

Simply put, the best donuts in town. Even better when you buy them freshly made and warm to order. This is my go to spot when I’m having a major sweet fix and for cheap. For a dozen donuts of your choice it’ll cost you about $ 12 bucks + tax but totally worth every dollar and penny. What’s best is that they’re open 24 hours so you can have donuts any time of day or night. I only wish there was a Krispy Kreme in Hayward, driving to get these donuts seems to be a bit labor intensive but I still do it anyway because they’re just that damn good! My personal favorites are always the original glazed, maple iced and the strawberry iced. If you’ve ever had yan yan’s before you know what I’m talking about when you dig your face into that strawberry icing.

It’s Krispy Kreme… not much can be said here. It’s fresh and delicious! I’m a big fan of their original glazed doughnuts. Good service and it’s located in a big lot.

I’ve been coming here for years and have never been disappointed.
Krispy Kreme has the best donuts ever! They’ve been my favorite donut place for many years.
And a lady who works here, Rose, is always so pleasant and sweet. This is my favorite location. I also love the 24 hour drive thru for when I get late night cravings!

Mini doughnuts please. Glazed only. I love their little baby doughnuts and how they would make it fresh for you.

It’s been a little over 5 years since my last review on this donut king we call Krispy Kreme. Who can visit Krispy Kreme nowadays without feeling like a heffer? You see it with those «deals» they throw out there often with buy a dozen, get a dozen for one penny. That’d be a steal if I wanted to be diabetic and gain an extra 20 lbs!
Upon my recent visit, I was on a mission. A mission to get my pooch into their 2016 doggie calendar. The requirements consisted of having your pet sport some kind of Krispy Kreme in the picture. The first thing that I’m sure popped into everyone’s mind is the hat! You gotta sport that Krispy Kreme paper hat they give away.
As I made my way through the drive thru, I ordered my mini donuts (mini donuts are $.75 each versus the standard $ 1.35 for a regular size) and made my way to the front to pay. The mini size isn’t that mini, it’s actually a pretty decent size for the almost half the price. If you’re watching your figure (really now? Who’s watching their figure if they pull up in the hot donut line?), opt for a mini donut! They have almost every flavor in mini as they do regular size. You get your fix (bc c’mon who could really eat a whole Krispy Kreme without feeling sick afterwards?).
Upon paying I asked for a hat, and they immediately said they were out of hats. How are you out of hats?! The one time I ever want a hat, they don’t have it. Calling the Fremont location, they immediately said they were out of hats as well. If you need a hat, the Daly City had ample, where I was able to score 5 (no, I didn’t drive over, I was lucky enough to have a friend swoop some up).
Unfortunately, upon opening the box of donuts, the sizes of the minis were inconsistent. I ordered 2 chocolate glaze and one was proportionally larger than the other.
Staff was helpful and friendly, but no hats?! C’mon son!

This specific krispy kreme location has been in my childhood for as long as I can remember. The machinery that carries the raw donut dough from top to bottom, and then into the fryer, floating towards the glorious icing waterfall icing is something I have watched every time I visit. The smells from the freshly made original glazed donuts usually makes it way towards those waiting in line – it’s quite torturous actually, especially if there aren’t many left and someone orders a dozen.
From what I can see, there is one thing I’m glad never changed: the godly original glaze. I remember back in the days, they used to hand out samples of freshly made original glaze donuts. I will never forget the first time I had the warm, sweet, soft feeling of the glazed, godly donut in my mouth. Everything about it was perfect – the taste, the smell, how perfect it looked, the feel. No one else makes an original glaze like Krispy Kreme does. I also really appreciate how the workers get the original glaze donuts for the customers. The workers always go for the freshly made original glazed donuts instead of the ones sitting in the display. They understand exactly what we came here for.
As for the other donuts, I used to get the chocolate glazed a lot when I was a kid, but now it’s too sweet for me to handle. I recently tried the blueberry glaze… it was definitely less sweet and still good if you’re craving a dense dessert. Any of the jelly-​filled donuts are not my thing, so I never get them. Some of the cereal/​oreo topped filled donuts are also on the sweeter side.
Customer service is pretty good, the wait isn’t bad, donuts are pretty awesome (especially original glaze), and the prices aren’t too bad for the quality. This is probably the perfect place for anyone with a real big sweet tooth, or even for people craving something sweet after eating popcorn while watching a movie at Century 25!

YAAASSSSSSSSSSS.
it’s a little pricey IMO compared to some mom and pop shops, but nonetheless delicious. I love the fresh glaze ones and watching the machinery make them inside.

OMG!!! Stopped by after dinner to pick up a couple donuts for dessert. They had fresh hot donuts being made and the icing drizzling on them as they came out of the fryer. We asked for a couple of fresh hot donuts and they happily boxed some up for us. Sadly, they didn’t even make it out of the parking lot. We couldn’t wait to try them. I’m typically not a huge Krispy Kreme fan as they are very sweet, but these were just too good to be true.
Its great you can stop by anytime and they have fresh donuts being made. Great customer service and the strawberry donut was also very good! They have a drive thru too but we chose to go in so you could get the full experience and smell the donuts too!
Wish I had photos to show, but we ate them so quick!!!

It has been a while since I went to a Krispy Kreme’s. Nothing gets me places faster then hearing that there is a offer for a free doughnut.
Conveniently, there is a drive thru. There weren’t any but one car ahead of me so I followed behind. The drive thru menu seemed limited, but it may be that I didn’t get a good look at it. I placed an order for one of the picture items and was offered a coffee for a buck and took the offer. Once at the window, I paid cash and waited shortly for my donut to be handed to me. It was a little wait for the coffee which was spilt when the guy tried handing it to me. No star deducted for that, none of it fell on me. ;) no foul.
The donut was still warm and the coffee freshly made. The dough was a melt in your mouth kinda dough with a raspberry filling. It was heavenly!
As for the menu, I’d suggest walking inside to see what they have on display. There are a large variety and I am sure more then what they choose to display on the menus.

The warm glazed donuts are the best. Unfortunately, that’s the only one that I enjoyed among the 5 other kinds that we got.
I like the option of getting warm glazed and unglazed donuts that they offer. My mom found the glaze ro be too sweet. They gladly gave use the freshly FRIED unglazed donuts. :)

I love this place. I love the seasonal donuts and I love the tried and true cinnamon (dusted) apple filled and glazed donuts.
The actual walk-​in portion closes after a certain time, by the drive thru is a great option for when you’d rather not get out of the car later in the night. I usually drive there with the intention of buying only one or two donuts. But I end up leaving with at least half a dozen. At that point, it’s really much more cost effective to just get the whole dozen. Because who likes wasting money? And can you really have too many donuts? If your answer is yes, don’t bother trying to become friends with me.
They have Berkeley farms milk, which is the perfect beverage companion to these fluffy mini pillows of happiness.

Service is always quick, even with lines out the door, and you can’t beat the prices!
Regular glazed are always hot and ready! They always have plenty of the other types ready in the glass as well. Customer service is decent.

Time/​Date: between 12pm-​1pm
Meal of the day: Snack
Pro Tips: always ask for a box for your donuts, unless you want your donuts to be squashed in the tiny bags they give you
What I ordered: (See attached)
Valentine’s day themed donuts
Orginal Glazed donuts
a cup of donut holes
mini donuts
(I go there a lot LOL… so you might see me there. HI!!!)
Food Quality: Everything is made daily, so all the donuts are fresh! Since it’s a franchise, their products definitely don’t taste as authentic as other regular bakeries. I don’t know what they put in their donuts but their original glazed is my favorite! Unlike the ones in regular bakeries, their donuts are not as greasy, which is my favorite part about this place.
Seating Area: PLENTY of tables to sit at. The whole place is very spacey, so you always find a place to sit at. There are always families with kids and/​or seniors just hanging out there.
Customer Service: The staff is very straightforward. I would compare their overall demeanor with the employees at any regular fast food restaurants, but nicer (just a little).
Parking: PLENTY OF parking! It’s in a big plaza, and its parking lot is always empty. And, there’s a Jamba Juice right next door! Can we say SMOOTHIEEEEE?
Overall: Great donuts on the go! They also have a drive thru! Highly recommend if you are on the go and feel like grabbing a donut and a coffee/​hot drink!

I’m about to go into a food coma so since I’m just laying here waiting to lose consciousness, I decided to write a review about what put me here in the first place.
I just ate 3 ½ donuts within 2 minutes. Darn it. I blame you Krispy Kreme. I just came from Ray’s Crab Shack in Fremont/​Newark and on my way home, decided to check if the HOT DOUGHNUTS sign was illuminated because I need some type of sweet dessert to counteract the garlicky butter of the cajun crab/​shrimp dinner I just enjoyed.
I know I just ate and I’m actually really full but I went inside KK because my 3 and 5 year old kids wanted to go in the «donut factory» and see how donuts were made. In hindsight, I didn’t plan to order a dozen glazed donuts and just my luck they were hot off the conveyor belt, freshly glazed, slightly crispy from being newly fried, and oh so soft and fluffy they melt in your mouth. It was so light and fluffy I couldn’t stop. Argh. Keep up the good work KK. Another satisfied customer right here. Now here I am sitting here, can’t move, stomach so full I just want to roll over and pass out.
Yup, I’m Unilocal Elite for a reason.

You know what, this place automatically gets 5 stars because it’s open 24 fucking 7. I literally only come here in the middle of night when I’m craving a dozen delicious donuts. The 25 minute drive from San Jose to Union City is worth it.
The workers can sound a little rude through the intercom, but hey, I totally understand. I wouldn’t want to be working at 3 in the morning either. But I thank you kindly for serving me donuts.
Their pumpkin cheesecake donuts are out right now! I believe they’re only out during the fall. So yea, definitely try it. :)

This is a place we don’t often visit, for obvious reasons (I don’t want to gain hecka weight! lol).
When we do come for a donut though they’re always super good and service is quick and friendly. We’ve waited for the unglazed donuts for me since I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. The donuts are hot and delicious… just like their sign says: P

As Doughnuts go Krispy Kreme to me are just ”aiight”. I mean, if there’s no other options available and I’m really craving a Doughnut (of it’s free with their email club) then it’ll do but not something I go crazy for. $ 10 for a dozen glazed seems a little pricey considering the overly sweetness and how small they are but you can always find a good deal deal on Groupon or via email.
I’ve been here a few times now, mainly while driving between the Peninsula and Mountain House when visiting people or the Cinema and I do like that it’s easily accessible with a dive through. The staff however could do with smiling from to time to time as every time I have been the same Woman has been working and is grumpy as hell.
One Doughnut I do really quite enjoy from here is the Key Lime Pie, now that is one that should be available all year round!
