Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

What! $ 8.45 for a dozen of glazed donuts! Are you sure these are not warm sexual devices? Wait a minute! Has it been that long since I bought donuts?
I was expecting like $ 3.99 or even $ 4.50 but $ 8.45! Wow!
Look, everyone knows that donut making is is pure profit. Basic recipe and no waste. So why the $ 8.45? Sure fine, call me cheap, but these are donuts. Donuts!
Hmm… Let’s compare.
So as I sat and waited for these donuts I had these thoughts.
$ 8.45. I could have bought an 8 piece from Churches for that. But for donuts?
$ 8.45. I could have gone to Fuddruckers and had a ½ pounder. But donuts?
$ 8.45. I could have bought a 10 piece wing dinner at BW3. But donuts?
$ 8.45. I could have bought 16 tacos at Jack in the Box for family and friends.
$ 8.45. Add 2 bucks and enjoy steak night at my local pub. But for donuts.
$ 8.45. I could have had a chicken fried steak dinner at Chili’s with a free burp.
$ 8.45. I could have bought a pound of crawfish and a drink from ANYWHERE!
$ 8.45. I could have gone to a matinée and watched Captain America!
$ 8.45. Yes, 2 happy hour whiskey and cokes. 1 double Jack at some pubs.
$ 8.45. 1 Jack and Coke at any Strip club that comes complete with a view.
$ 8.45. 2 Rotisserie Chickens fully cooked at Sams club for Sunday dinner.
$ 8.45. A delicious Gyro right up the street from here at Manny’s Café.
$ 8.45. Add 2 bucks for a weekend buffet at a Chinese restaurant.
Okay my order is ready. Received my dozen and half dozen of chocolate glazed. The dozen glazed was a bit too sweet, very warm. Clearly just made. The chocolate glazed was… was… was… FROZEN! WTF? I should send them a bill for $ 8.45 in order to cover my microwave electricity cost for warming these babies up!
These donuts are not worth $ 8.45 a dozen! Yes I’m stuck on that. Remember the pie incident in the American Pie movie. Guess what I’m doing with the rest of these damn donuts.
Keep em warm and Prosper!

Very disappointing, donuts tasted like they sat in grease for a long time. And the were fresh since I saw the guy take them out of the fryer. This tells me that they have not changed the oil.

Warm Krispy Kreme right off the line — yum! Standing in line 15 minutes — yuck. This place has been opened long enough to get the routine down. Liked watching the donuts being made, but amazed at how many are thrown away.

I enjoyed seeing the donuts made and going through the roller :) lol
*Taste– I ate the Strawberry ShortCake — very yummy! I loved the filling coming out and tasting the sweetness. The glazed donuts were ok, nothing special.
*The service was ok– I got asked what I wanted and was ranged up.
*Appearance… Plenty of sitting. Really dirty, being that it was non busy — didn’t see a reason why no one cleaned up. Napkins all over the floor, donuts glaze on each table, the trash was over flowing. ****I’d choose Shipleys next time****

Why are the reviews so bad?
I’ve gone a couple of times and there was a line in front of me every time. But the employees are all working as fast as they can and the line goes down pretty quick. Waiting sucks but what can you do? I’ll complain if the line is slow because of lazy employees but that wasn’t the case. Everybody wants some krispy kreme.
Donuts were yummy and fresh. Pricier than the normal neighrhood donut shops but still worth it.

I would give zero stars if were an option. I love the product but the service is sub par. I visited on several occasions and I came back so that they could redeem themselves after the opening. But you cannot change a person’s attitude. What can be changed, however, is the work flow. There are several people working at once but they do not work with one another. I’d been waiting in line for a few minutes and another customer walks up as I’m finally being served. He got the last of the hot donuts. I blame management and the owner.

I’m going to just agree with everyone else who complained about service.
The two individuals who are working the cash register this morning — Wednesday 20^th, 6:45 AM — customer service was dismal.
There’s a Dunkin’ Donuts down the street. I think I’ll start getting my coffee and donuts in the morning there instead.

So finally let the hype die down and embarked on my journey to this place! The HOT sign was not on but I thought… What the heck, I’m already here… The customer service is … Where are the –stars? Like I would give them «- 5 stars» if it were possible. The doughnuts speak for themselves it’s hard to screw those up. I pulled to the window to give my card the young lady opened the widow and literally starred me down like I was sleeping with her dad or something. No greeting, no total, just an intense stare down. I steer away from fast food so I don’t have to deal with childish employees but I mean it’s Krispy Kreme. The manager needs to give a crash course from the handbook of Whataburger or chic-​fil-​A!!!

If I could give zero stars I would. Sat at the drive thru for a good 3 minutes with 3 employees just looking at us. Their drive thru hours were displayed and they were still open. We left and they will never get our business. Needs new management!!!

Donut awesome! Service & Drive thru worst ever… 20 min to get a dozen of glazes donuts.

I was excited for Krispy Kreme to come to our side out town but not over thrilled anymore after trying them out.
The glazed donut taste like the frying oil and leaves an after taste of the oil. I remember we had a location a couple years back further down on hey 6 and their donuts never tasted like this. So it must be how they are cooking them. My mother went one time and she said the same thing. Dirty frying oil

I’ve waited for the hype to die down before I came here. The drive thru was empty and I came to try out a few things. The classic glazed doughnuts were nothing special. I liked that they were light and fluffy, but the sweetness was off for me. The flavoring wasn’t anything spectacular and was definitely not something I would wait in line for hours to order. I came towards closing and was given a dozen hot glazed doughnuts for free. I’m not sure why, but there really was no need for it. I ate only one and the rest was wasted. Thank you, but no thanks.

I love Krispy Crème. I can’t figure out why this location got so many bad reviews so quickly. I guess it was the long lines & all the hype. Wish they had been better prepared to re-​enter this market. I hated when they left Houston the first time. I had a job that required me to travel, so I got my first taste on the East Coast years ago, so I did not understand why they failed here the first time, but I am glad they are back. I came in the middle of the day & there was no line. My donuts were awesome and my milk was ice cold. I really hope they can do some more promotion & be better prepared for the customers to turn their ratings around.

Last weekend we went to try the new Krispy Kreme and the service was TERRIBLE! Seriously. The manager was talking about customers within earshot. The guy serving us was trying to give us a donut we didn’t ask for claiming «it’s the same thing». After we told him (very politely) that’s not what we asked for he took our donuts and just decided not to work the counter anymore. Nearly five minutes later another worker came to ask what was going on. (Mind you the line was out the door!)
I have been looking forward to donuts from this new location for a very long time. When I lived in Louisiana I was a die hard Krispy Kreme fan! I must say I was a bit disappointed. My fav was much smaller than it used to be and everything tasted so much sweeter. The dough seemed to still have that distinct taste though.
All in all I won’t be going out my way to return to this location.
Very disappointed.

Krispy Kreme back in Houston?! Um, yes!
My kids and I decided to stop by on a Thursday evening (NYE) and used the drive thru. There were only about 3 cars ahead of us, and the cashier taking our order was polite.
We weren’t very interested in anything else but the glazed, so we ordered a dozen of them and 2 (24) donut holes.
Donuts are smaller and thinner than Shipleys. They weren’t fresh/​hot, but it was delicious! The glazed is smooth, but once you bite into it, it breaks apart like the Shipleys glazed. Shipleys donuts are best eaten when freshly made, but once they’ve been sitting out for a while, the glaze end up becoming sticky.
The krispy kreme glazed donuts don’t have the sticky consistency. It’s smooth, more on the sweeter side and the donut tastes similar to funnel cake/​beignet. It does taste sweeter than Shipleys, so if you don’t have a big sweet tooth, this may not be for you.
Hands down, their glazed donuts taste scrumptious, fresh or not. However, they are more pricey. I paid about $ 8 – 9 for a dozen.
Their donut holes are alriiiiight. The glaze doesn’t exactly break apart like the regular donuts, but they still taste good.
These donuts were a huge hit with my kids. Be prepared for a huge mess since the glaze will fall all over the floor and your shirt!

These are the sweetest doughnuts on earth, they are light & airy and it’s what you expect to take care of the sweet tooth !
They also have holiday doughnuts or limited edition doughnuts, be sure to ask about them. Sometimes in the evening there’s a line out the door for the hot now doughnuts

Took 1hr 20 mins to get these but they are definitely delicious. We got the buy one get one free deal which occurs every 12 – 12. Overall they are donuts and I recommend letting the fad die out a little before coming if you don’t want to be waiting forever.
The donuts themselves are light and fluffy and I got to get my maple glazed (my favorite and highly recommended). The donuts are in my opinion better than your average donut and would be in close competition with Shipley’s.
I like that they are made fresh and literally as you order which may contribute to the wait time. The staff was extremely friendly as well and I like that they had police officers keeping the line organized.

Krispy Kreme is back!
I’ve been wanting to come here ever since they opened, but I didn’t want to deal with the insane lines. I went on a Monday night at 8PM. The drive thru had about 10 cars in it and looked like it was at a standstill, but the line indoors wasn’t too long. We decided to brave the chilling 60 F temperatures, walked all the way across the parking lot, and stood in line inside to get our donuts. Seriously though, don’t be lazy and just get out of your car. The line inside took about 10 minutes to get through.
They were out of many variety donuts by the time we showed, and it looks like they are constantly replacing their donuts flavors throughout the day. They just get that much traffic. But that means the donuts you are buying are fresh. The glazed donuts we got were fresh out of the oven.
However, like some people mentioned before me you can see into the kitchen to see how they are making their donuts. And the kitchen was kind of a mess. I’m talking old glaze on the floor, people moving all over the place, boxes everywhere, etc. They seem to be too busy to even clean their kitchen.
The last time I had KK I was still a kid, so I was surprised to see just how tiny their donuts are. Not worth the lines? Rip off? I would probably say yes to both, if it weren’t for the fact that KK brings me back my childhood. And if there is one memory I will never forget, it’s that KK gives away free glazed donuts. And those piping hot, glazed donuts can’t be beat. Those things are delicious.
But no free donuts here! I can understand why. The lines would probably get even more insane than they already are. But hopefully they will start once the hype dies.

Donuts — Five stars
I have been through very many drive-​thrus and I have had some bad experiences but this particular location was ridiculous. I am not sure if it’s because of the swarm of people or just because the employees are poorly trained but I was stuck in the drive thru for a solid 45 minutes. When it was finally my turn to order at the drive-​thru they were not able to hear me so I had to YELL and it really made waiting in line even worse.
What happened next is that there were none of the cake donuts left. I ended up getting six glazed donuts and was planning on getting an assortment of the other kind but when there isn’t really much left that you can order from then your only options become ordering more of the same kind. All in all they need to fix their system at the drive-​thru so that the employees are able to understand what the customer is saying and they need to work out a system that expedites the lines because Krispy-​Kreme is delicious and if this is how the lines are going to be then I am going to just find a donut recipe by the Barefoot Contessa.

Excellent Donuts!!!
