Krispy Kreme’s Doughnut Cafe

Awesome doughnuts here and staff are very friendly. This place always has some sort of a line formed close to the entrance, most times that I’ve visited.
This place has wi-​fi, a TV with CP24 on, a washroom, seating area, but sadly only one spot with an electrical outlet. This location gets their krispy kreme donuts delivered to them, so they do not bake them fresh here unfortunately. Still, I get a box full of a dozen doughnuts for 9.75 $ flat. Very affordable, and these taste many times better than the doughnuts at Tim Hortons. Trust.

The triple chocolate doughnut ($ 1.15) has a chocolate cream filling, chocolate icing and chocolate chips on top. The filling was not too sweet although icing and chips on top made up for that however. Most other donut places like tim hortons make everything sickeningly sweet. Truthfully, I would rather have a plain donut with just the chocolate cream filling. *drool*
The classic strawberry jelly doughnut ($ 1.15) is filled with strawberry jelly and covered in powdered sugar. The filling was good, sort of like jam but again, not too sweet. The doughnut was soft and fluffy.
I definitely recommend drinking something to balance the sweetness. Maybe a kaffe kreme (S $ 3.55). :D
The single all purpose washroom can only run cold water.

Having spent time in the University Hospital Network district often over the past year, discovering one of the last remaining Krispy Kreme shops nearby was a nice bonus. It’s a shame that they miscalculated their expansion in 2000 and fizzled out a few years after.
Anyways, gone are my days of being able to eat four to six glazed doughnuts in one sitting and live to see another day but I do enjoy having one or two when I do go and visit.
The doughnut prices are about the same as Tim Horton’s but in my opinion, they are two to three times better. I don’t believe Krispy Kreme bakes or fries their doughnuts on site but I would say they are better deserving of the «Always Fresh» slogan. When I compare Krispy Kreme to some of the newer gourmet doughnut places like Jelly Modern who sell their doughnuts for $ 3 or more, Krispy Kreme is my choice hands down. A third of the price and tastes just as fresh, I feel more satisfied and both with my appetite and wallet.
As far as the store, there is seating for around 30 people and there is a TV showing CP24 so it is a place you can sit and enjoy your doughnut and coffee. It’s also their new spot since relocated a couple of doors North. My only hope now is that they stay successful enough to stay afloat or better yet, open up a new location close to my work or home.

Standard Krispy Kreme shop. Although the location has a slightly different vibe, bricks walls tucked away sort of thing, which is nice. Free Internet also.
The donut taste like any other Krispy Kreme, so delicious and crumbly.
The staff was friendly and greeted me as soon as I entered, in a more robotic way but still pleasant.

A childhood classic that lost many locations back in Markham/​richmond hill. I always get the classic donut. It’s lighter than air and very nicely balanced between sour and sweet. No, it’s not sour because it’s rotten and nasty. It’s sour because there is sour cream glaze. It is good. I don’t even know why I am writing a review for Krispy Kreme, who hadn’t been to Krispy Kreme before?
The other donut I got is the apple fritter. This was dense, unlike the original donut. But don’t me wrong, dense just means there more to every bite and every bite is more rich! The apple fritter tasted like a real apple fritter. Some people like this donut toasted slightly but some people don’t mind eating it cold or at room temperature. Both are awesome for me!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Krispy Kreme. It is cheap, beyond delicious, décor is nice, location is great. Good air conditioning, nice staff, great donuts, tv, ah… Heaven.
It is also very close to UofT and exam centre (yes, I had this place. And yes, for those people who don’t go to UofT, this exam centre looks exactly like a prison from the outside and inside). When you come out of there this is the first place you should go!

I love hot, fresh out of the deep fryer krispy kremes donut!!! But this is a tinny little krispy kreme next to Chinatown which doesn’t make their donuts in store. So make sure you ask them to microwave your donuts before you eat them. It makes a huge difference!

I went to Krispy Kreme (@KrispyKremeCan) during National Doughnut Day (June 5, 2015)! To celebrate, they were offering a free choice of doughnut to all their customers
Here are the doughnuts we had:
Lemon Kreme Cake || Strong lemon flavoured doughnut with original glaze and signature whipped cream in the middle!
Peach Pie || Love the pie crust bits on top of the doughnut! The white glaze complimented the fragrant filling! Good for summer!
This offer is reminiscent of the good ol’ days when you used to get a free doughnut when the «hot» sign was on! Go claim your doughnut (at any Krispy Kreme location) for nostalgia on the «sweetest» holiday of the year!

I walk past this place everyday to work and I finally went in.
I almost wished that I didn’t because I now have to go in everyday. That’s how good the donuts are.
The original glazed was perfectly fluffy and sweet but still doughy and just melted in my mouth.
If you’re ever having a bad day and need a little pick me up… Get a doughnut from here and I promise you that you won’t feel any kinds of bad after!

I honestly don’t understand the hype about Krispy Kreme. Their donut size is very small and costs more than Tims ($ 1.15 per donut). I was expecting some «special» or «exotic» new flavours but it was just the standard flavours. There is also very limited seating available, which is annoying for people who are not taking the donuts to go.

Oh — these donuts are SO GOOD. So much better than the other (coffee) shops.
While trying to quench my sugar addiction, I often visited the other big donut chains — and I was stunned to find out that sometimes at night if you go into them they have a GRAND TOTAL of maybe 7 or 8 donuts on the shelf. I’m not talking 7 of each type — I mean if you add up all the donuts in the store you can’t find a dozen! Which made me realize the other chains are mainly just glorified coffee pushers.
And boy was I happy when I found out that Krispy Kreme is in Toronto. Their donuts are addictive.
And it’s not just the standard glazed variety. I strongly encourage you to try most of the varieties. If you do — I’ll bet you’ll be very happy you did. Some of them are amazing.
And did you know that you can freeze their donuts? Yup. Take advantage of the great deal you get on buying 2 dozen and throw most of them in the freezer. Take them out a half hour before you want to eat one and they’ll be fresh as can be.
And remember, a dozen donuts is a great deal at somewhere near 10 bucks, but if you buy 2 dozen you get 2 dollars off.

I couldn’t believe I went to school downtown for 7 years, and only found out about this place in my last year. I don’t eat donuts, but I do eat Krispy Kreme Donuts. Its bittersweet that the one in Richmond Hill closed, because I miss it, but on the bright side I don’t eat donuts. Once I found out about this place I made sure I visited a few times before graduating. The donuts were as good as Krispy Kreme donuts always are. My fave are the original glazed and the one with the cream filling inside. The coffee was also only a $ 1. It probably still is. This location has a cute, small sit-​down area. Since most people take what they need to go, I have never seen it full.
This location is a short walking distance from the St. George U of T campus, especially if your classes are near the Queen’s Park subway station. I honestly think that as part of orientation, new students should be informed of this gem. It’ll just make your bad/​good days better.

I don’t care what anyone says about their love affair with Tim Hortons, this is the real King of donut shops worldwide. America is always the way to go when dealing with those soft, tasty, doughy sugar filled grease circles. The chocolate glaze reigns supreme. God Bless America!

Yo, I love donuts. I want to give this 5 stars but that would speak mostly to the fact that I love donuts. The donuts here are no exception. Light (HAHAHA! what an illusion), fluffy, and fresh-​tasting even though they’re not made on-​site. For all I care, they could make them on the moon.
Tim Hortons donuts seem to regularly undergo treatment under a shrink ray. On the other hand, hip local bakeries fancify and overprice, with their $ 4 Garam Masala Mojito Rosewater Balsamic varieties. Krispy Kreme, in its utterly corporate and un-​Canadian glory, produces good old-​fashioned fried dough holes which are not only reasonably priced, but still very much visible to the human eye. It’s enough to make a grown woman cry as well as visit the dentist.
We’re down to two Krispy Kremes in Toronto and I’m losing sleep at night worrying about the remaining locations shutting down. Do your part.

If you are near McCaul, ditch Tim Hortons and grab a doughnut here instead! Definitely a guilty pleasure as their doughnuts are all pretty sweet. My all time favourite is the original glaze. You can get individual ones for $ 1.15 or a dozen for $ 10.95. They have this promo right now, no sure how long it’s running for– If you buy 2 dozens, you get $ 2 off. So I suggesting splitting it with a couple friends to if you can to save a couple bucks.
The also have doughnut holes which are essentially like timbits and mini doughnuts, but they unfortunately sold out for the time we went. Doughnut holes are about $ 11 for 20. They also serve coffee and other caffeinated beverage which I haven’t tried yet, but smells great.
The place is like a small little café and offers free wifi, so it’s a great alternative to starbucks if you are looking for something quieter as most people grab their doughnuts to go.

There’s an old joke about a man stranded on a desert island. When he’s finally discovered, his rescuers find that using the resources at hand (palm fronds, coconuts and such), he has built an entire city, including two houses of worship. When asked why he would expend the effort on these two buildings, especially since the island is otherwise deserted, the man answers «this is the house of worship I go to… and this is the house of worship I don’t go to».
Downtown Toronto has two Krispy Kreme donut cafes, both in transitional neighbourhoods. The Harbord location is an inconvenient but manageable walk from U of T and the Annex, while this location occupies a spot on the edge of Baldwin Village, a few blocks from Toronto’s Hospital Row.
This is great news if you work in the health care field, or if your Significant Other is (early) in labour – I can personally attest to this. Nothing gets you through those first exhausting hours of parenthood like a huge cup of fresh-​brewed, dark-​roast coffee. A little cream. No sugar.
This location has the added advantage of size; a labyrinthine back room provides male seating compared to Harbord’s 2 – 3 tables; comfy chairs, CP24 on the TV and free wi-​fi make this Krispy Kreme a cozy location suitable for grinding out policy papers. The coffee itself is strong and hot; it’s increased in price of late but still provides better value than Starbucks. The donuts are reliably good, although I miss the hot grease aroma from Krispy Kreme’s previous iterations, back when the donuts were all made on-​site.
Still, this is the Krispy Kreme that I go to.

It was a dark and snowy night.
We were trekking though the snow and looking for a place to eat.
I saw lights from a window that seemed so far away.
As I approached… I saw a sign… that stopped me in my tracks.
DOUGHNUT CAFE!!!
My slow trek became a mad dash for donuts.
I opened the door and the sweet smell of donuts was overwhelming.
So many flavours to choose from!!!
I was so tempted by the chocolate cheesecake donut.
But I went with an old favourite, the original glazed.
It was perfect and still warm.
MmmmmOMFG.

I love my donuts and I like them from Krispy Kreme =P The first time I came here I was very adventurous and I tried a non-​original glazed donut and it was way too sweet. Ever since then, I only go for their original glazed donut and I believe it’s the only one worth getting when you visit Krispy Kreme. I would also try their cold drinks because it’s less thick than a milkshake but not as liquidy as a regular drink … in other words, the texture is perfect and the taste is delicious so give it a try!

I needed to come down this way, and my cousin was in search of something sweet, like a cupcake of something, so Krispy Kreme was the decided alternate. OMG, what a good choice. Sometimes I forget about the sugary goodness of the Krispy Kreme. My fave remains the original, but they had a number of other choices, including crème and custard filled options and some key lime varieties. A cute place to visit, and there were a few chairs and probably even wifi. If I were more local, I’d come in more often.

Krispy Kreme! My guilty pleasure for my sugar fix. I was saddened when they closed down their Scarborough Town Centre location, but am glad that I don’t have to drive all the way up to Mississauga!
This location is 3 weeks new, and is tucked away on McCaul street. It is a quaint place to grab some doughnuts and a coffee.
I came here on Friday 13^th to take advantage of their 75^th Birthday featuring Buy One (Dozen) get the Second Dozen for $ 0.75. The girls behind the counter were friendly but I don’t know if I liked the fact that they weren’t promoting the special. Thank God for the power of the internet.
The ‘nuts here are not as fresh as the ones in Mississauga seeing as this is a small space and they probably get them frozen from headquarters.

I was totally jonesing for something deep fried and I spied this new KK location a block away from my work. Nice and friendly staff with lots of options it makes you crazy. No tax if you buy a dozen and if you buy a second dozen you get $ 2 off! It is located in a tiny are but there are some tables to sit and nice armchairs with a TV at the back of the store to doze off after you come out of your sugar high. It is as good as I remember it and always a great welcome to spike up the afternoon at work. Welcome to the neighbourhood KK. Note that grand opening is tomorrow, Thursday June 28, 2012 and they will be featuring lots of freebies.
