Krispy Kreme Havertown

I have been to this store several times and while never a great experience, today was horrible. The donuts are not always completely fresh and the employees are generally unpleasant and impatient. In addition to being grumpy, the woman who helped us today seemed truly angry that we had a hard time deciding on which flavors we wanted Also, when I asked to buy 1 extra donut hole for my daughter, she rudely told us it was not possible, using such an mean tone. It would not have killed her to offer her a donut hole since they normally have samples anyway. At the very least, don’t sound so nasty about it.

I am not a donut lover, but these were pretty good. Everyone in my family liked them!
The place was really clean inside and the staff member was really nice! I had a lot of options for as late in the day as I got them which is always nice! It’s always a bummer when everything is sold out and the place doesn’t make them all day. Parking was great because it’s in a shopping plaza!
Overall, I really like the filling in mine. I’m not a glaze person, but the donut itself was really fluffy, fresh, and not dense at all!

This is the first time I’d been to this Krispy Kreme. My Boyfriend and I walked in, a few people were in line. It came to my turn, I decided to get and assortment of Donuts, as I was picking what Donuts, the Employee, a rather large, rude woman, began to get frustrated with me, as if I was taking too much time deciding which donuts I wanted. She says with a attitude «you need two more». When I went to the register to pay, I asked for the Chocolate Freezer. She ignorantly said «We don’t have that!» I said, «it’s on the menu board.» She indignantly responded that she’d give me a Strawberry one. I did not want a Strawberry one. The entire time I was in there she acted like her time was too precious for the customers. As long as she’s working there, I won’t be back.

When I found out that a Krispy Kreme was opening in Delco I was excited as I am a big fan of the experience.
But finding out that they make the donuts in Fox Chase and deliver them here to be glazed and reheated, well my balloon was deflated big time.
I still gave them a try today. I sampled a glazed donut, and made them run one through the line to heat up. These are at best warm donuts not worthy of the red sign.
They’re still tasty enough, and the iced coffee wasn’t too bad. But they’re not special. The whole experience that makes them hot and fresh is non-​existent.
There is absolutely no reason to have a Krispy Kreme without the full setup. At that point you’re no more special than a Dunkin Donuts.
And Dunkins has much better coffee.

This place is really hit or mess.
There are employees that are excellent and others that do not have any care for the customer whatsoever.
Their donuts are awesome and their bagels (if the employees are not stingy with the cream cheese) are excellent as well.

I have to say I prefer Dunkin’ Donuts over Krispy Kreme any day! I am a fan of jelly donuts with the sugar and whatever red jelly is inside them. Recently I tried Krispy Kreme and there raspberry filled is definitely lacking.
Now I have had a hot doughnut right from the oven and they can not be beat but that’s all Krispy Kreme has to offer. Give me Dunkin’s flavors and coffee any day!

Not fantastic, but not bad either. I was there on opening week and it was packed out the door. But the more i come back the less I see. Staff is ok. Prices are what they are. And the amazing glazed donut gets old after a while. I’m not a donut lover and KK hasn’t changed my mind.

Very disappointing!
Was in the area and stopped in this new location last nite near closing to get a few glazed. Bottom line the donuts were NOT good, nothing like I remember from the old Springfield or Delaware location.
I was lucky to get recently rewarmed donuts, so I anxiously wolfed them down as soon as I got back to my car. I couldn’t stop wondering why every time I took a bite all the glaze crackled and fell off the donut.
Then I thought about what the cashier told me…
This location DOES NOT make the donuts fresh here on premises. They get the donuts shipped to them pre-​made from there other location. Then they glaze and reheat them here.
Bad idea, in my opinion this method makes the donuts taste like reheated leftovers. The whole allure to the Krispy Kreme glazed donuts is the freshness. In my opinion corporate fell short when they decided to open this store and not give them the equipment to bake the donuts fresh on site.
If you were a former patron of the Springfield location you will be very disappointed once you taste the reheated donuts in Havertown.
Dont waste your time, I will not be returning.

Well well, what in blue blazes do we have here ! Krispy Kreme has invaded Havertown with a vengeance. This being opening week you’d expect a rush, the line almost exceeding out the door. A sugar enraged rush, where you can see the hot fresh donuts being made. If you park in the back lot, while walking thru the pass way you can smell a heavenly smell of glaze in the air. That is a smell that is just telling you, come in, stand in my line, order till your hearts content.
Where you walk in with empty hands and leave with a box, or boxes of donuts, hot and fresh, happy little faces react to the different varieties that is offered. Krispy Kreme you got us hooked, this is where you separate the fools from the diabetics.
The crew over here are doing a great job in feeding our addiction to your sweet addictive pleasure known as a hot donut. These guys even sell shirts and to go mugs, so once you return the price for coffee is at one rate. Love the fact they have paraphernalia for the kids,(or the kid in you) with their Krispy Kreme paper chef hats. Their displays always are stocked even with a crazed group of people looking to get that fix. The tables are spotless, even after been used they are on top of the game. Hot fresh coffee brewed at all times but it wasn’t the greatest, I’ve had better in my opinion. More than just donuts also, nice sized bagels being displayed, so Manhattan you might as well close up shop, you’ve just been owned.
Are they the greatest, for this spot yes, are they the best? No in my own opinion the filling could be more to it, Suzy Jo has them beat in that. As far as freshness they are fresh, but Federal beats them by a long shot when it truly comes to hot and fresh. Dunkin Donuts along with Wawa you guys have just been bullied out by the newcomers, just in case you didn’t know. Yes they are a chain joint, but they are better than you guys and they know it.
Great location on their part, good call with ample amounts of parking in the front and back, along with the foot traffic. They should be ok, we’ll see once the new store rush dies down how they pan out.

(4) ~ Overall Food & Service
MY MENU:
* Original Glaze (hot off the oven) = (5) Excellent!
* Vanilla Cream filled Glazed = (4.5) Very Good!
* Original Glaze (on the shelf) = (4) very good
* Iced Coffee = (4) very good
NOTE: This store is about ½ the size of the other ones;-)

I see the waistlines in the Havertown and surrounding areas swelling already. These donuts are heavenly.

Making the doughnuts at the Fox Chase store and sending them to us in Havertown? No thanks. That’s the same reason I don’t eat DD. Never know how old the things are. Over priced coffee that isn’t that good either. I’ll stick with WaWa

they are also 100% Kosher. which is awesome

You know those special days? The ones where it seems just too much effort to grab your syringe and shoot yourself up with pure sugar? If it’s one of those days and you live near Havertown you can come here starting Tuesday. The high may be a little slower but it will taste much much better!
These folks open on Tuesday the 9^th. I was at the right place at the right time today and snared a free test-​run doughnut and a peak at the new store. Their entrance is in the front of Manoa Shopping Center near Cathy’s Books. For those not familiar with this plaza, parking in the front can be tight. My advice is to park in the back. There is a sweet little corridor right next to Staples that you can use can use to walk to the front. Much easier.
I’d think of this one as a baby Krispy Kreme as it’s very small. However all the usual stuff is available. I enjoy their coffee. If you are new to the chain, they also have lattes. The bagels are decent and fresh.
There is competition for just about every product they have within a minute or two drive. It’s going to be interesting to see how my fellow Havertownians embrace the new guys in town. Past experience tells me they will be a welcome.
