Most people are familiar with the Krispy Kreme name and have tried one of their delicious doughnuts. No matter your tastes, there is something for everyone at Krispy Kreme.

The instantly recognizable display cases that hold the delicious doughnuts were created after the wall in 1945. The first retail location of the company opened in 1989 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Since the beginning of the Krispy Kreme franchise, the brand has spread across the globe and they are now operating in 31 different countries. From humble beginnings to delivery services, brand partnerships, and a growing e-Commerce business the brand continues to go from strength to strength.

About the Menu

Roll up, roll up, it’s doughnut time! Oh, as well as ice cream coffees, and more at Krispy Kreme.

Doughnuts

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts can be purchased as singular products or in trays of 12. These trays are either pre-made or they can be mixed and matched by the customer. The doughnuts can be split into multiple categories depending on the way they are made.

Iced

The iced doughnuts on offer currently range in price from $0.99 for one to $14.99 for two dozen. What’s on offer, though, can change with the seasons, which includes special holidays and charity events. Some of these doughnuts are the classic ring shape with simple iced patterns on them whereas others are filled doughnuts with more complex icing on top. The filled doughnuts also tend to have extra toppings such as crushed cookies or whipped cream on them.

Glazed

Their Original glazed doughnuts are currently available for $0.99 for one and $14.99 for two dozen. These are exactly what many people visualize when they think of the brand. A simple ring doughnut with a light sugar glaze coating. Today, things have changed and there are a number of flavors and fillings that can come in a glazed doughnut, including cinnamon, and strawberry icing with sprinkles. And, contrary to popular belief, they aren’t all ring-shaped, either. Some are oblong!

Filled

Filled doughnuts are what the name suggests, doughnuts filled with a delicious creamy center. Costing the same as iced and glazed doughnuts, these can be filled and glazed or filled and iced, it just depends on what’s happening on the outside of the sugary treat. These are made by bakers who slide a nozzle into the doughnut and pull it toward them. Then, the pump injects a type of filling, such as chocolate and jam.

Cake

The cake doughnuts may sound a little confusing, but they are simple doughnuts with a cake texture that comes from using baking soda rather than yeast. These also come with the same price range as above, but are the smallest range of doughnuts offered by the brand, but no less tasty! These are moist and rich with a simple, yet classic flavor. The main difference between these and regular doughnuts is that they are leavened with baking powder and soda, whilst yeast doughnuts are leavened with (surprise, surprise) yeast.

Doughnut Holes

You can enjoy one cup of doughnut holes for $1.99, a 24 pack for $3.99, or a colossal 48 pack for only $5.99. If you find regular doughnuts a bit too big, you can order bite-sized versions of all the best-selling doughnuts. From chocolate to apple cinnamon, there is a doughnut hole for everyone to enjoy!

Coffee & Drinks

As doughnuts and coffee go hand-in-hand, the wide range of beverages available from Krispy Kreme is not surprising. When visiting the stores you can purchase hot coffee, frozen lattes, iced coffees, and a range of soft drinks.

Coffees, be they small Coffee Blends, Smooth, Rich, or Decaf, range in price from $1.59 to $3.49. You can also purchase a Brew Box containing a combination of different beverages for $11.99. “A balanced blend that’s easy to love,” the brew box serves up to eight people and comes with cups, sleeves, lids, and a collection of creamers, Equal, Splenda, and Sugar packets. A perfect gift for someone you love.

For something smaller, you can enjoy a small Hot chocolate for $2.39, whilst a medium is $2.69, and large currently costs $2.99. Hot teas are also available, ranging in price from $1.59 for a small, through to $1.79 and $1.99 for a medium and large respectively.

Ice Cream

Ice cream cones and milkshakes are available for those that aren’t in the mood for donuts. Currently, Cones come with either a “Very Vanilla” or “Deep Chocolate” flavor ice cream, costing around $1.69. Meanwhile, Krispy Kreme’s famous Doughnut Sundaes cost around $3 and are fast becoming iconic all over the world.

Krispy Kreme produces a number of seasonal doughnuts around the holiday seasons, too, such as Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and even St. Patrick’s Day. These vary in price depending on location, and will change every year.

Please note that all prices are subject to change and may vary depending on the location.
