Default Krispy Kremes

Ok... so finally I got to see what all the fuss was about. As far as I know the only Krispy Kremes in the UK is in Harrods. So on my recent trip to the Theatre in London I had to go try some! All I can say is it's a good job I don't live in London! Yum!

I don't go out of my way for doughnuts, but I love these. They just melt in your mouth.

I think these are so overrated. My mom absolutely hates them, and she is a lifelong doughnut expert. they may have used to be good straight from the shop, but in a box, they're just boxed doughnuts. The raised glazed from my corner bakery are 10 times better....

Thumbs down Me too...

I think Krispy Kreme is overrated. They are entirely too sweet for my taste buds. I don't care for glazed donuts, I prefer chocolate with sprinkles. Hehe. Yep, I'm 5.

That said, do enjoy them, Pip!

I love Krispy Kremes when they're fresh, but after a day or two, they're not as good.

My absolute favorite type of donuts are the jelly-filled. *drools*

IMHO, when they're hot is the only time they're edible. There's a reason they have that sign out front to let you know when they're coming out of the oven. Even KKs that are only a few hours old and have cooled are horrid.

But when they're hot, and you have a glass of cold milk to wash them down ... heaven.

Ah doughnut talk...something I can really get into

I'm not such a big fan of Krisy Kremes...BUT I also have a strange aversion to businesses that spell things incorrectly haha...

But the first time I tried a KK doughnut..I thought it was great - so I ate two...and got sicker than heck...it was gross....so I tried another a while later and it was okay..nothing to write home about...

I'm a Dunkin' (this is okay- they shortened the word rather than mispelling it) Doughnut loyalist....I like them best...

I used to make doughnuts, in a BIG factory, for close to 5 years. Krispy Kreme tasted better then the one's I used to make, but I don't even like Krispy Kreme. There is a mom and pop shop up the street from me called Longs. These are absolutely the greatest doughnuts I've ever had the pleasure of tasting! I buy them at least once a week to take to work with me. They are absolutely awesome.

My favorite is chocolate glazed bavarian filled...um-um-um!

I am a die hard Dunkin Donut fan... Krispy Kreme is not all it's cracked up to be... DD's french cruellers are the best even though they are lighter then a feather!

Speaking of KK, has anyone tried their glazed donut drink? Is it any good? It sounds like a rip off of a Starbucks Frappaccino.
