Krispy Kreme Doughnut

When asking friends to help you move, you have to be prepared to offer something to entice them. I stopped by Krispy Kreme early on a Sunday morning to pickup the perfect sugar/​carb/​caffeine moving fuel combo. The donuts are always good, but everyone knows that. What I wasn’t prepared for was the service. From the moment I walked in the door, I was blown away. I wasn’t thinking when I arrived on a Sunday morning before church. I live in the South, ya’ll. It was packed. But the people working were highly efficient and seriously never skipped a beat. I never felt rushed in my confection selections and while I waited for my coffee brew box, I was able to sit back and just watch. The employees truly took pride in their work and it showed. I will certainly find my way back here again soon… but maybe not on a Sunday morning.

I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl and its always remained clean and tidy at all times no matter who’s on staff it must be run by some very good people keep up the awesome work #doughnut

I came over to get some coffee and doughnuts for an office meeting. I needed to get two dozen and a coffee box in a hurry and I got just that. 2 – 3 different people were involved and helped move the walk-​in experience to be as quick as you would want. The inside appeared very clean and welcoming. It’s hard to walk out of a room with a pile full of doughnuts :)
I’ve used the drive-​thru in the late-​night hours as well and have never had any trouble there either. Go by and try one sometime, it makes a great last stop on your way home.

I grew up with Krispy Kreme and it’s good to be back in East Tennessee, where the glow of the «Hot Now» sign beckons. This location is really great. They almost always have fresh glazed doughnuts and yeah, they have some other kinds too. Pumpkin Spice is good in the fall.
The staff here is really great too. Just wanted to mention that my husband and I went there this morning to get my free doughnut for Veteran’s Day. Even though I’m a veteran and he’s not, they gave us each a free doughnut. It was very sweet and they didn’t have to do it. So thanks to KK!

HOT DOUGHNUTS NOW! The sign says. A hot sweet glazed sugary Krispy Kreme Doughnut with a warm cup of coffee is amazingly tasty. They have blueberry doughnuts too, and are really nice treats. Sometimes they are making the doughnuts and people can watch the cooking/​glazing process in action.

First I give Krispy Kreme as a company Five stars. I love their donuts best by far and I’ve had donuts all over the world. I love my donuts. That being said this location is soso. They tend to run out of things. Like the featured donut and at strange times. Once we came on Sunday early afternoon and they were out of one of the featured. They said they had sold out that morning. Poor planning I say. Duh you’re going to sell a lot of donuts on Sunday morning and you should never run out of something that you are heavily advertising! The best part was when we asked if they were making more, the employee shrugged and said he didn’t know. Another time we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt about busy Sunday and came on another day mid-​morning. Nope. Sold out. Don’t know when/​if there will be more.
Another issue here is inconsistent sizing of donuts, filled ones especially. Sometimes they will be really small! When I pay $ 8+ for a box of donuts, they better fill up that box! Sometimes there’s enough space in the box for another row.
Another issue is the use of coupons. They frequently hand out or mail coupons for a free donut or a free coffee or whatever. They usually say something about cannot be combined blah blah. That’s fine but last time we were there the guy in front of us used two free coupons with no problem but then right after, we were told we could only use one. I don’t mind if they want to enforce their rules but I do expect them to be consistent or at least not so blatant.
My biggest problem with this location is a particular clerk. Young Female blondish curly hair glasses a little chubby. She is always pushy, not polite, in a hurry and borderline rude. I literally groan in disparity when I walk in a see her behind the counter. She ruins my donut experience every time. When she’s not there or someone else is available to help me, they are great.
