Krispy Kreme

I just LOVE buying warm doughnuts. Who can beat that? Anyways, they do offer a free doughnut and national doughnut day. Again, who can beat that?

8.99 for a dozen of donuts! say what? They have a lot of variety to choose from! It’s definitely better than the donuts you get from the gas station or grocery stores or those ones in a plastic bag «little debbies»?

With chain stores, one expects the same level of consistency. Its what makes a place a chain. This Krispy Kreme chain location sells donuts, coffee, and bottled drinks. I arrived early on a Saturday morning, with the plan of getting a donut and drip coffee. The drip coffee was fine, but there wasn’t the standard selection of creams and milks available in the Krispy Kreme location at home. In Seattle, the Krispy Kreme is a factory, you can watch the donuts being made and the donuts are always warm, if not hot. There is a self-​service station for sugar and cream in metal thermoses/​pitchers. At this Krispy Kreme location in Omaha, NE, there is none of that Seattle location charm.
The donuts are refrigerated cold and there is no microwave to nuke them for 8 seconds to bring back the taste of freshly-​made donuts. I asked the young girl working behind the counter if I could have the donut warmed, and she said «There is no microwave!» in a very rude tone of voice.
I ordered a pumpkin cheesecake donut, and was thoroughly unimpressed with the filling. It tasted like cream cheese that had been sweetened with sugar. No pumpkin flavor. The donut itself was OK. Had it been warm, it would have tasted considerably better. Like melt in your mouth cream cheese filling better. Not this donut.
There is a Dunkin Donuts that will be opening soon next door. I was sad it wasn’t open the day I was in Omaha, but if I ever visit Omaha again, I’ll be heading to the Dunkin Donuts to give them a try.

I don’t know what it is or how they do it but these are the best donuts hands down! I’ve tried the others and I’m constantly comparing them and the others fall short. Staff here is friendly, drive they is awesome and they provide you with ample napkins too!!! Can’t wait to go back.
