The line can be long but it goes by very quickly! I ordered a dozen of seasonal donuts for a casual holiday party and they were a huge hit - the donuts were adorably decorated and my friends couldn't stop taking photos of them. The hot glazed donuts here are my absolute favorite though, so if you only have the chance to visit Krispy Kreme once, definitely get the hot glazed. Delicious, soft, melt-in-your-mouth goodness...you'll never want a cold glazed donut again! read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Update: I finally made it to the Krispy Kreme in Jersey City, only to be disappointed by a mostly empty (of customers) store full of cold donuts. I bought a few donuts and they tasted good, but not as good as a hot glazed donut. Previous review: I am one of those krazy people who love hot glazed Krispy Kreme donuts. I called them today to ask if they sold hot glazed donuts. The gentleman over the phone said yes, but only when the sign is on. My query to Krispy Kreme: why not sell hot glazed donuts in Manhattan as you once did? I have to trek all the way to Jersey City? Why not sell hot glazed donuts in the Krispy Kreme in Penn Station? One of these days, folks, I'm gonna make it to Jersey City and gosh darn it, will devour one of those yummy buttery warm glazed donu read more

Krispy Kreme donuts will always be my favorite. I kept passing the factory (only because I'm trying to watch my figure) but finally I obliged. Y'all.... it's so freaking cute inside. The line was long but so many people were excited to be getting Krispy Kreme donuts. read more

Fantastic customer service -- both corporate and store service. They are great for our community as well; they constantly give out doughnuts on holidays. The guys and girls that work there are great too. Thanks for making our community better. Amazing doughnuts, obv. read more

i tend to miss the "hot now" hour where the doughnut (donut) is really fresh. the flavors change so don't expect to see the same ones (they have a staple and seasonal ones) happen to come in when pumpkin spice season started. not stale the coffee could have been better a bit heavy handed on the mocha but other then that the staff is always nice and friendly this place is nice to just chill at read more

I haven't given a 1 star review since my first 2 Yelp reviews and I'm sorry I'm going to have to give this location a 1 star for now due to the extremely poor customer service. Came here 30 minutes before closing on Friday and drove quite far to get here with a friend only to find out that they already have locked the doors and people outside were pissed! They clearly weren't closed and they clearly still had tons of donuts - there were people on line inside and donuts constantly being freshly made. I'm sorry but when you say you close at 11 PM, you don't lock your doors until then! TRAIN YOUR STAFF!! I haven't been this disappointed in a very long time - seriously.. when you haven't even been opened for a week?! Do you know how many people are beyond excited to have a Krispy Kreme in North Jersey?! Do you know how long I've been craving a freshly made Krispy Kreme donut?! It still boggles my mind that they have a security guard at the exit to make sure no one enters and yet no staff member at the front door to tell people waiting outside in line what's going on! Unbelievable. The door even stated "Walk-up Window 24 hours", then why isn't any of your staff members at the walk up window? Why can't anyone place an order there?! I even came back a few hours later after getting a drink at a bar (yes because I needed one after this ridiculousness) hoping that MAYBE.. just MAYBE someone would be at the window after the crowds died down.. but nope, the staff just ignored us and pretended like we weren't there after ringing the doorbell multiple times at the door/walk up window. read more

This place is a great reminder of my childhood! My family lives in the south, so when we traveled there for visits, Krispy Kreme was always the first stop when we got there, and the last stop before we left!! The Lord saw fit to bring these little pieces of Heaven up north & I am grateful! With that being said- is another review really necessary?! I honestly believe that these donuts fell from the pearly gates of Heaven! Every single positive review that you've read is ALL true! Believe the hype on this one for sure! *I had to remove a star bc the parking is a nightmare & the wait is a doozie* read more

Krispy Kreme - Because you can't eat just one! Judge me NOT!!! - Donuts Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I was in the area and decided to go for it. Finding it wasn't easy and parking was almost impossible. But I didn't give up. Hence the three stars. Entered and was surprised by the different selection of goodness in a glass case. I ordered a dozen because I couldn't make up my mind. The server was very pleasant and offered for them to pick my donuts for me based on popularity. She also explained the cups were discounted when a dozen donuts are purchased,I couldn't say no. I choked it up and politely declined so I went for it. Paid, while I waited I was offered a free sample, nice touch. I placed the bag in the trunk to avoid any temptation on my ride home. Krispy Kreme was so fresh it practically melted as I ate it. I just wished there was one closer to me. I did place some in the refrigerator to keep its freshness. Looking forward to going back when I'm in the area. read more

Krispy Kreme - Sinful Krispy Kreme Donuts!! - Donuts Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

These reviews are funny. I came here at a time where there would be no line and no wait...in the morning, when you would normally eat donuts. I had Krispy Kreme one time a looooooooong time ago, so no bias from yours truly. I got the glazed, because that sounded like the right thing to do...taste the base if you will...and then I got the chocolate glazed. The whole process took about 15 minutes. They got me my mocha, and after waiting for 8 more minutes, I overheard the manager, while looking at the screen, tell an employee, "Brian was taken care of." That's when I took a HUGE step forward and said, "No?" Then they asked me what I ordered, I answered, lady turns around, grabs the two donuts and hands them to me. That should have happened about a week agooooooo. The donuts were alright. I get it...they're light and airy...it's cute. But when I looked at my options, I was expecting some...more...options. Not your hipster artisanal pumpkin spice cinnamon s'more glazed donut or anything...but, just more than vanilla frosted glaze. The interior is cool, you see the Behind The Scenes magic while you wait on line...but I don't think you should be waiting for more than 20 minutes unless Krispy Kreme is your religion and it's Sunday Mass. There's a calorie joke in there somewhere. I'll be back, but probably with a friend dying to go or if I need to charge my phone. read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

Since the major rush of donuts coming out of here when it first opened. The quality has decreased. When there were lines you knew you were getting fresh donuts. The past few times I been in there the donuts don't taste the same as when they first come out. It seems like the donuts bees sitting around for awhile maybe days. Thier coffee isn't too bad though. read more

I love Krispy Kreme donuts. They are my favorite to have. There are so many good selection choices as well. Everytime I come to this Jersey City location, the donuts are always fresh and available. The staff is super quick in preparing your order and I have never had an issue. It is hard to narrow down my favorites, but I really enjoy the oreo cookies one and the glazed blueberry cake one. They both work perfectly. I could eat multiple of these donuts in one sitting (although I shouldn't lol). This place is excellent and everyone should come here when craving some donuts. read more

Stopped in to pick up some donuts to go after dinner last night. This was the second attempt because the first try on opening day didn't get accomplished because of the crazy line that was outside. Tonight it was not bad at all. Maybe a 10 minutes wait. Ordered 6 donuts and 2 coffees. I personally didn't care for the coffee there. It's too strong for my taste but that's ok cause I didn't come for the coffee anyway. The only thing is that when they handed me the box of donuts it was sticky from icing and I got it on my hands but whatever now I now to watch out next time. Anyway I didn't try the donuts until this morning but they were still delicious. I had a glazed and a chocolate iced kreme filled. Of course the glazed was the best just like I remembered. I haven't had one in years. So much better then DD just wish this place was closer to home and not an hour away from me... but then again that's probably for the best because I would be there too much... read more

As a North Carolinian, I love Krispy Kreme. Their donuts are sweeter than the competitor. However, this particular Krispy Kreme is trash. They are overpriced. My jaw dropped seeing the extreme markup on their donuts. The first time I wanted to come here, I went about 15 minutes before closing time, and the doors were locked. The last time I was there, I overheard a lady who was sitting with her family eating donuts ask for a box for their leftovers, and was told that they weren't allowed to give away a box (YES, even to paying customers). They have a large variety of donuts, more than I've ever seen at any other Krispy Kreme. My strawberry glazed with sprinkles was sweet and fantastic. My original donut wasn't fresh. Overall, I'm turned off by this establishment's customer service. Can't say I won't go back, but it won't be anytime soon. read more

Great service. Brand new spot. So happy to have a Kriapy Kreme in the neighborhood. Make sure to visit with some spare time. Lines are long and wait time varies while they pack fresh donuts for you. Only complaint is about the flow of the lines at checkout. I wish the donut displays were on the other Side so you can browse them while you wait instead of after you order. read more

Haven't had one of my rants in a while but #IAmHectorsRandomThoughts: I tried to take advantage of this coupon at the Krispy Keme in Jersey City so that I can load up the granddaughters with a fuckton of sugar tomorrow. But the counter girl said that this coupon is only for corporate stores. What is the point of Krispy Kreme sending out these emails of these coupons don't work in Krispy Kreme stores. BTW, after just giving the two a head nod to walk out the door, the same counter girl had a little "maybe he shouldnt be having donuts" comment to her coworker as I was walked out. Now if I wouldve said something, I'm the one who would be banned, going to jail, or tasered. But I'll just stay away from this joint because this company does not deserve to be in my spam inbox. Have a nice day. read more

Haven't been to a Krispy Kreme in years! Lived in Pa where they closed. First time at this location Saturday and it got busy after we ordered! Long line. So worth the wait if you have to wait. I love that the hot light was on. There's a window inside so you can see the fresh donuts being made which is awesome! We ordered a half dozen and two iced lattes with almond milk. The lattes weren't bad. A little on the sweet side for me. I like that they have almond milk. The donuts though! Knocked one star since no one mentioned having the hot fresh donuts (we forgot to request them)! Ugh. But we got three glazed (so soft and yummy!), a cheesecake donut (gross, don't recommend), a glazed creme filled (my fav!) and a cinnamon apple filled donut (ok but won't get again). Yum! read more

A slice of heaven at the foot of Columbus! While most Krispy Kreme's have sadly gone belly-up in New York, mainly because they were downright filthy, this Jersey City location is outright beautiful and kept spotlessly clean (even the restrooms). This is a huge fete being a stone throw away from the PATH. the counter help is knowledgeable and friendly and those fresh glazed doughnuts keep rolling down the belt. And you know don't even think of eating just one! read more

Having the "Hot Now" sign visible from my window will do terrible things for my waistline. Came here on a Saturday afternoon and there was a 15 minute line. Got their original glazed and sour cream cake. We got the glazed free for signing up on their app. This store is a franchise and do not participate in the promotions that corporate stores do (i.e. Free donut with coffee purchase). The original glazed is light and sweet. Almost like biting into air. I preferred their sour cream cake doughnut, which is more chewy and substantial. read more

King of the gas station donuts. There is nothing earth shattering about Krispy Kreme, they are Dunkin' Donuts on crack. Only went to try the new "Original Glazed" birthday cake flavor and chocolate glaze. They are pretty sweet, even for me. The flavor is not deep as you would get with a artisan donut, but if you're just looking for a blend of sweet and dough, this is the spot. The staff in the JC location was kind of all over the place, but it looks like a lot of employees were new and being trained. They need to chill on the artisan doughnut prices, they're not THAT good.. read more

How could you not give high stars for this place. We walked in today and my husbands mouth began watering lol. Seeing the speciality donuts was like heaven in a bottle. We ordered our donuts, and they were all we thought they would be....and more. The restaurant was clean, the only reason why I didn't give five stars was because the store is located on a corner with absolutely no street parking anytime in front. The reward after finding parking though is well worth it. read more

Been a long time since Ive had a plain doughnut from KK. Stopped by here after brunch and ordered 2 plains. There wasn't a line or a lot of customers. Good for speed, bad for product. The 2 plains were dry and bit stale. KK straight from the fryer still the best and probably a good idea to make an effort to wait for someone to make the doughnuts. Try again later. read more

We were driving to Brownstone Diner for pancakes one morning when we passed the glorious Krispy Kreme sign in Jersey City and ever since then, I had this location high on my priority "to eat" list lol I love that you see the donut production first thing when you enter. If you weren't excited about eating donuts already, then that view definitely will. The ordering process is very streamlined - you place an order with the employee at the registers, pay, then move down to pick up your order. There is a beautiful display of donuts to help you make your decision making easier. We ordered a half-dozen donuts and 2 medium coffees. We tried the blueberry cake, cheesecake, oreo heart, raspberry jelly, and sea salt caramel. The cheesecake donut had a slight lemon taste, which was unexpected by not overwhelming. The oreo creme filling was well balanced and topped with crumbled oreo pieces, which made for a great crunchy bite. The blueberry cake donut was as delicious as eating a blueberry muffin and the raspberry jelly was classic and fluffy. My least favorite donut of the half-dozen was the sea salt caramel, which I found to be too salty and overly sweet. I think if the donut to filling ratio was increased, it would be a great donut. After watching the enticing advertisements of their promotional donuts flash on the menu screen repeatedly, I got up to order the apple fritter which was amazing. It was like a cinnamon bun and apple pie made a baby. I couldn't get enough of the small pieces of baked apples on top. Only downside is that parking is hard to come by, but given the location, that is to be expected. Needless to say, I will be definitely coming back for more donuts whenever I'm in need of a sweet fix and I'm in the area! read more

So excited to finally try out a Krispy Kreme location they are so hard to find here in NJ. I came in on a Thursday night and there was a fairly large line, which was totally not expected.

The donuts are light and delicious so much better than DD. read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

This place is seriously a hit or miss. Sometimes it's fab, and other times this place has trouble with their machines. Either they come out with too much glaze--like double glazed, or shriveled with minimal glaze as if they skimmed the proofing process. That aside, parking is a pain, their walk up window is never open, and it's centered in Jersey city so the traffic to get there is a huge pain in the ass. Overall it lacks consistency. read more

If you want a happy Jeanie then there must be Krispy Kreme's near by! I love me a good Krispy Kreme and there is truly nothing in life that makes me happier than that Hot & Fresh sign in the window. When I first heard that there was going to be a KK in Jersey City I didn't believe my ears and as soon as I got to come here and see it for my own eyes... I was finally a believer! On my first trip here I left with a dozen glazed and another dozen filled with all sorts of assortments but no matter what the glazed doughnut has my heart. On my second trip I spotted playing games and left with two dozen glazed and a dozen assorted. This location was super clean and the staff was really pleasant. It was nice to see that they had everything stocked up and there were no sad signs that read sold out like some of my other experiences at KK's. I always love the conveyor belt production line that is on display as you wait... always a plus in my book. Keep up the good work Jersey City I love you and that glazing machine I want to lay under as my last dying wish read more

Anyone that loves Donuts love Krispy Kreme donuts and I am no exception. I love the fact that you can see the donuts coming out the machine which makes it a cool trip for kids. This location has really helpful staff and everything is always fresh. My all-time favorite donut is the glazed donut, but I live for their jelly donut also. FYI there is no parking around there unless it's after 7 p.m. . Also they need to staff more people during rush hour because it can get extremely busy or get a self-serve kiosk that works. read more

I never go to Krispy Kreme even though there are locations near my work. However, this location is great since they have the factory where you get to see the machine that makes the doughnuts. You see the doughnuts being fried and glazed which was cool since they do it in large batches. The place does get crowded though. I ordered a lemon cream filled glaze doughnut and it wasn't too sweet since the lemon was tangy. Their doughnuts are better than Dunkin Donuts or other chain bakeries. There's also Krispy Kreme hats on every table if you want a souvenir. read more

Finally got to the visit the new Krispy Kreme that recently opened in Downtown Jersey City. Was excited to try it after the hype about it and the fresh doughnuts it makes on site. Decided to grab a box of dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts (~$12) to give as a gift before visiting a friend, and also got a Chocolate Frosted and Strawberry Frosted doughnut on the side to try for me and my family. To be honest, I wasn't a fan of the doughnuts at Krispy Kreme, but think it could just be my taste, given that my family members liked it. I've also had a glazed Krispy Kreme at a different location and didn't like it either, but thought if i got it with a topping, that I might like it better. If you've never been, would recommend trying for yourself as many of my family and friends like it. If I go back, I think I'll try their drinks, including the hot chocolate which I hear is good. Also, make sure to go when the the sign outside is lit red, meaning there are fresh doughnuts being made! read more

Coming here made me feel like a kid again. I grew up in a region where Krispy Kreme shops were plentiful and the majority of people were over weight. Directly related? Never proven... After moving to NJ, I noticed that there really weren't any Krispy Kreme shops around. Sure, they sell it at the grocery market, but those aren't even close to the same thing. There's really one way to go with Krispy Kreme: get the regular glazed when the sign is lit. All other options are irrelevant in comparison. So one lazy Saturday, I came and watched the dough get formed, fried, glazed, then finally sent down the belt to the register. Ordered one as just one is enough to make a memory last. First bite, boom! I remembered again why there are people that will argue for yeast versus cake donuts until their dying breath. All you yeast donut people out there, I'm with you~ That Krispy Kreme texture was extremely light and fluffy. Even though the glaze on top was too sweet and the donut itself was a bit too greasy, it was still arguably one of the best donuts I've had in the last few years. Dunkin ain't got nothing on this... read more

Krispy Kreme - Delicious! - Donuts Near Me - Jersey City, New Jersey

I'm happy to see that the hype has since died down, but I may be a little biased; especially as they're a chain establishment, I've never quite understood that outpouring of love that Krispy Kreme has gotten from some. A little background: this location of Krispy Kreme opened in early February to a great amount of anticipation. It's ideally situated just outside the Grove Street PATH station, making it perfect for the pre or post-work stop, and the interior has a number of seating options, as well as a view of the assembly line where batches of their signature glazed donuts are freshly made each day. The crowds have since waned from the previous month, but on the early evening in mid-February that I went, the end of the line was just past the entrance and wound through the perimeter of the interior. End to end, it took a solid 30 minutes from getting in line to finally getting my order, but the ordering was fairly efficient and within a minute, my name was called out and I had my box of donuts in hand. Of the three varieties I tried, I think the simple Original Glazed is my favorite. There's something that's just foolproof with the thin, even sugar glaze and the slightly fluffy and toothsome dough. I appreciated the Blueberry Cake Glazed as well, although it veered a little too sweet for me, and the dough used is a thicker, heavier filling more similar to a cake than a yeast donut. For those who prefer custard-filled donuts, the New York Cheesecake is a good bet, with a graham cracker topping, a cheesecake filling, and a light cream cheese icing. It was, again, a little too sweet and heavy for my taste, but that's just my bias. Maybe I'm just not much of a donut person to begin with, but I'm not particularly inclined to return. However, they are open fairly late at night and early in the morning, so if a random craving should strike... well, it's good that they're there. read more

This new addition to the downtown JC neighborhood is rather welcomed. Be aware, that if you are driving to this location, there is not much parking. You'll have to find on street parking, or you can park in a lot. The way they have set it up so that you can watch the doughnuts being made it a really great feature, especially if you have kids. Regarding kids, they also have little Krispy Kreme hats that they can wear, which are set up on each of the tables. I purchased a dozen. 6 original glazed, and 6 assorted. I only had one glazed, but it was far better than most doughnuts, but did not beat out my favorite doughnut place Dough (the reason for 4 stars). The other 11 doughnuts I brought to my physical therapy place, and everyone absolutely raved. Be sure to go when the Krispy Kreme "Red Light" is on, and get yourself an original glazed. When the red light is on, that means they just came out, and are quite warm and delicious. One note is that they seem to be quite a bit sweeter than they used to be, but I could be mistaken - as it has been many, many years since I last had Krispy Kreme. If you know you are going to frequent Krispy Kreme, it may be worth while for you to download their app, and rack up rewards as well. It's clean, the staff seems rather efficient, they have free wifi, and good coffee to boot! Enjoy! read more

The lines at this KK perplex me, I didn't know there was such a large donut demand in downtown JC. The lines are a turn off so I've knocked off one star. Besides that these donuts are divine. I think donuts should be simple, sweet, and satisfying. I find KK's original glazed is the best... definitely one of my favorite donuts. The filled ones tend to be too sweet for me and their coffee is simply ok but a small black coffee (no sugar or cream) with two glazed donuts or their donut holes and you're set! read more
