I like Krispy Kreme donuts, but only when they're warm and fresh. Do not like the cold ones. I stop by here several times a year when I really crave it. Came recently for a few donuts and a box of donut holes. Was going to get 10 of those little dots but the gal behind the counter told me for $1 more, we can get 24 . So I got them 24 because I like to scrape off the thick layer if sugar and pop them in the microwave and they're so good.l and chewy. But yeah, 24 is way too many to eat. Just the smell of them only makes me feel like gaining 10 pounds. :) read more

Kristy Keene, as I'm sure we can all agree on, deserves a default 5 out of 5 stars. The taste, the culture, the impact, the artistry, the doughnut. It goes without saying. I was heartbroken when I the left best-buy down the street ( I had to buy an HDMI extender) and arrived to Kripsy Kreme on a Monday to discover they were closed! Abandoned! Not a soul in sight! This would be no problem....my mistake perhaps... but alas! everywhere online I could see said that it should be open! The signage in front of the doors with temporary hours is not enough for the digital citizens! Kripsy Kreme, you deserve 5 stars.... I just feel... let down. I feel like Mary Jane Watson when Spider-Man misses their anniversary dinner...like I understand you got stuff going on....the city needs saving or whatever... but why can't you be my hero too?

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Mission Viejo, California

I was heading out of town for the holidays and wanted to take advantage of a Krispy Kreme offer: Free Peanuts Christmas Doughnut with any purchase. It was the last day this offer was active, and since I was passing by this Krispy Kreme in Mission Viejo, I figured I'd stop by this location to see how it would compare to the others I've been to before. Unfortunately, as convenient as the location is being right off the 5 freeway, I don't think I'll be making a return visit to this location anytime soon. This Krispy Kreme in Mission Viejo is located on El Paseo, which runs parallel to the freeway for the most part. Oso Parkway would be the closest exit, where you'd head west and make an immediate right on Cabot before another quick right on El Paseo. As soon as I came in, I was met by a line with a huge separation between customers that I almost thought there were two lines! I momentarily stepped out of line just so I could see the Peanuts Christmas Doughnuts that were offered, but didn't realize I almost made it look like I was cutting in line! The employees there were sooooooooooooo slow at servicing the customers inside the shop that even the customer behind me complained at how long it took for us to get served. Granted, this location does have a drive-thru, but it felt like the employees were putting their full focus on filling boxes of doughnuts for the drive-thru customers while nearly neglecting the customers waiting by the front counter. The customer in front of me was standing so far back from the register that I couldn't even see the drinks part of the menu. She was placing a pretty big order of doughnuts, so I had to wait even longer for another employee (Rilee?) to assist me. Rilee had such a soft voice that unfortunately proved to be a high communication barrier between us. It took her a while to understand that I wanted the Snoopy Cookies & Kreme Doughnut for my free Peanuts Christmas doughnut. I thought she would have rung me up, but she said something to me before running off. I could barely hear her, but it sounded like she didn't have the credentials to ring me up, perhaps another sign of dysfunctionality with the staff working that day. A different employee, Meghan, ended up assisting me, and she was much more customer-oriented, but made an oversight on my coffee order. I wanted the Classic Brewed Coffee, and their menu only showed the price for Medium. When I asked how much more a Large would have been, she said it was only ten cents more than the Medium when I was expecting twenty cents, so without even asking to see the sizes, I went with the Large. It took her a couple of minutes to prepare my hot coffee, but she omitted asking if I'd like some sugar and/or cream to go with my coffee. I would have preferred cream, but no sugar. Unfortunately, their counter by the side exit only had napkins, coffee stirrers, and sugar, but no cream, so I was left without any cream for my coffee. I could have asked, but had already been displeased with how the employees focused too much on transferring doughnuts to and from the display case while not keeping an eye on the line. Most of the Snoopy Cookies & Kreme Doughnuts on display looked pretty droopy (thanks Kimberly L for the rhyme!). At least the effort was there? However, once my droopy Snoopy doughnut was placed inside the takeout bag, the face was even more disfigured with the eyes and the nose smushed from the plastic; only the ear remained intact, and it almost looked like a propeller blade instead. At least the Cookies & Kreme taste was there, but the flavored filling inside the donut wasn't nearly as flavorful; with how underwhelming my experience was overall, I wouldn't be surprised if Charlie Brown ended up disappointed as well. I probably would have liked his namesake ornament doughnut better; that has brownie batter flavored filling. Their other two Peanuts Christmas Doughnuts are Santa Belly and Christmas Wreath. As with any Krispy Kreme you go to, I like going inside to see the doughnut making process. They even had a narrow, but elevated platform for the kiddos to see this process up close! It would definitely get their attention while you're waiting in line to order your sweet treats. They also have a grab & go section of refrigerated bottled drinks between the doughnuts and the register. I previously mentioned the drive-thru in this review, but if you don't want to go inside, they also have an outdoor patio consisting of a few tables that you can sit at while your friends/family go inside to place their order(s). Overall, my experience at the Mission Viejo Krispy Kreme was pretty disappointing. This is one of two locations in Orange County by the 5 freeway, or three if you include the one inside Amazon Fresh at The Market Place in Irvine. I don't know if that location would honor an offer like the one I redeemed at this location, but even if it doesn't, I'm more likely going to visit that Krispy Kreme over this one. read more

Extremely frustrating experience with Marie at the register. I clearly ordered four dozen donuts in total--two dozen Pokémon donuts and two dozen pumpkin spice glazed donuts. I repeated myself multiple times, but she completely misunderstood and only rang up two dozen total (two Pokémon and two individual pumpkin spice donuts instead of two full dozens). When trying to use the website promo for the discounted pumpkin spice dozen, the complete lack of listening made the whole transaction a mess. Please train your staff to pay attention to customer orders. read more

Stopped by for a delicious "hot out of the oven" glazed donut which was delicious and had such a wonderful experience with the young lady working at the drive-thru window. She was super kind, friendly and made a point of sharing with me their secret perk of stopping by when the "Hot Now" sign is on. Definitely a great experience that's makes me want to come again! Thanks for the outstanding service! read more

We got donuts for our daughter's birthday and the donut holes are a joke. Squished? Half eaten? Not sure but poor quality. $50 something dollars for 1 dozen full size donuts and 16 mini donuts and 24 donut holes. That's crazy. Not impressed at all. read more

Today Krispy Kreme is offering FREE Original Glazed Donuts in celebration for REAL ID. I arrived at this location and asked the guy at the counter if they were giving away free donuts. He said "As long as you have a REAL ID". But I showed him the photo saying "No Real ID". He insisted a couple more times that I had to show my Real ID in order to get a Free donut in spite of Krispy Kreme's statement on their promotion. I walked out. God led me to their website. I saw the disclaimer in which I added a screenshot for you to see, where it says specifically no Real Id needed. I went back in and spoke with Marie this time. She was more open and helpful and I thank her for listening to me. I showed her the website and she was confused too. She must've not understood Krispy Kreme's message in whether a customer NEEDS to present their ID or not. She did her best to explain why the guy must've asked for my ID, due to misunderstanding. I hope that Krispy Kreme does a better job in communication with their employees when they have these promotions. The donut was good though!

I don't know what happened to Krispy Kreme, but the customer service has absolutely gone downhill. The last few months, every time I've stopped by the drive-through, it's the same experience: sitting there forever, line barely moving, only to finally reach the order box and find out they don't even have the donuts available. What exactly are we waiting for? No apology, no urgency, no effort to communicate what's going on -- just long waits and disappointment. A drive-through shouldn't feel like a gamble where you invest time only to be told "sorry, we're out." This used to be a reliable stop. Now it's consistently slow, poorly managed, and frustrating. Terrible service, especially considering how simple the product is supposed to be. Won't be wasting my time again unless something seriously changes. read more

This is the worst Krispy Kreme location. The staff is so sloppy and careless. We went to go get a dozen donuts and they took forever to even acknowledge the customers to the point where two groups left. They were not even busy and had multiple employees inside. They finally got me a pre boxed of 12 glazed. I was so disappointed when I opened the box to find the ugliest looking donuts. They looked so stale and the image is after I asked the staff to replace the ones that should have been rejects. They told me "they get smaller towards the end of the day" Excuse me? Where is the quality control? They were indeed stale and gross Not returning to this location. read more

I am a regular customer at this location. No more. I went in today because there was a nationwide offer for a Free Doughnut since the U.S. Soccer Team had a shutout in the World Cup yesterday. I was going to pick up my free doughnut and purchase another one. Nobody knew anything about the offer, and even when I showed them it on my phone, they would not give me the free doughnut. Not only did they lose out on a sale of an additional doughnut I intended to purchase, they lost my future business as well. All over a $2.50 doughnut. I live in the area, but won't be patronizing them again. It is based on principle. read more

Why I love this place! They make these miniature donuts you can go in and get them nice and warm! It's not hard for me to deny myself a normal sized donut but mini - come on! Nothing like a guilt free warm glazed mini donut. So good! This was a birthday treat - guess what it's free!

Service is fast and friendly, and the doughnuts are always up to what you'd expect standards between each location! To note: This location seems to not offer samples if you are ordering through drive through or if you order online for pick-up in store, even if the hot doughnuts sign is on, as I have been turned down several times for samples even with coming with my nieces/nephews, if I am not ordering in person, in-store. read more

Dear Krispy Kreme, Today was my birthday and i had a terrible experience. i walked in with my free birthday coupons and the cashier couldnt even figure out the scanner.

I absolutely love Krispy Kreme donuts, they're truly my favorite! I've tried many kinds, but nothing beats the Original Glazed. Honestly, I could eat a dozen myself. That said, this is by far the worst Krispy Kreme location I've been to. I usually come in the mornings, and the staff is consistently rude. One time, I even saw a customer in front of me warmly thank the cashier for waking up early to make our mornings better with amazing donuts, and the cashier just replied: "You don't need to thank me, this is just a job." Super rude and disappointing. read more

They've just gotten so pricey- I'll stick to the original warm glazed. It's the classic and OG favorite- The other assortments of donuts just aren't worth the cost in my opinion. There are so many better donut shops to support. read more

Every so often, I get a craving for Krispy Kreme - specifically for that simple glazed donut, especially when it's fresh off the line. Warm and perfectly melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

So, finally, AR and I decided it was time for a Krispy Kreme sugar run. "Hot Now" - Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&start=24&select=6HpkqampCO5crRzd0lUSNg "One dozen to go, please!"

AR was drawn to the Halloween-themed donuts, which, I'll admit, looked fun with their bright colors and creative designs. But to me, they were more about the looks than the taste - a cute novelty, but nothing to rave about.

The Halloween donuts, in particular, tasted like they had been sitting out for most of the day and lacked that just-made flavor. My personal favorites were the Chocolate Iced Custard and the Original Glazed. I meant to try the Chocolate Glazed but ended up forgetting to order it. Krispy Kreme makes great donuts, with the clear standout being the freshly made, warm Original Glazed - it's unbeatable when it's "Hot Now." If you're craving that unmistakable melt-in-your-mouth donut experience, the Krispy Kreme in Mission Viejo delivers! This location has a friendly, upbeat atmosphere, and you can usually find a "Hot Now" sign glowing, which is honestly half the reason anyone comes here. There's something magical about getting a donut fresh off the line, especially when it's a classic Original Glazed. Overall, if you're looking for a quick donut fix or a sweet treat on the go, Krispy Kreme is a great choice. It's consistent, and you know what you're getting. Just watch out for those rush hours, or better yet, come when the "Hot Now" light is on, and you'll be in donut heaven. Overall rating: 3 1/2 Stars (Rounding up) - Big Aloha!

I recently installed your app on my phone. I did not go for myself, donuts don't fit my dietary needs. I have a 12 year old daughter. She loves Krispy Kreams. When she does well or on special occasion. This time was her birthday. I have come for years without the app. I had received a email notification saying we were entitled to a free 3 donut pack withpurchase. The employee explained I could buy a single item like a donut. And receive the 3 pack for free. That's the offer on the app. He had problems ringing up the deal. A manger came to the window said he couldn't get it to work. I asked him after he said the same thing a few times. I said ok so you can't honor this offer? I said it politely.his response was very abrupt and rude. He said "is that your're take away"? I couldn't believe he got so rude. I said that's not my take away that's exactly what you are telling me. Then proceeded to push the box toward me "Take it" -I turned my experience with my daughter, into a sour spot in our day and our experience with Krispy Kream. I am not sure why I would want to come back. The associate was ok, he knew that the managers response was inappropriate, and he was trying to be nice. The manager was the one who was rude to us. He appeared to be the store manager. He really handled the situation poorly. I was simply following your marketing promotion, on my daughter's birthday. My "take away" was a negative experience with a rude manager, who obviously loss track of who he was speaking to...I am Not an employee, I was a customer. I wasn't making unreasonable demands, I was just asking for exactly what was shown in my offers inside my app and also in a email promoting the offer.My daughter felt sad, because it was her favorite place. She was shocked. It's amazing how a major company can develop a marketing campaign to bring customers in, and to create a connection to its customers, only for the experience to be ruined by a bad apple. This bad apple is the manager of the store. His rude behavior just ruined the whole experience for me and my daughter. We will likely just get donuts somewhere else... read more

I just had a terrible experience at Krispy Kreme in Mission Viejo. My wife asked me to pick up a dozen donuts for our daughter's sleepover, and what should have been a simple stop turned into complete frustration. First, while waiting in the drive-through, I watched an employee toss out what looked like 100 perfectly good boxes of donuts--straight into the trash. Wasteful and shocking. This makes paying for a box even add more insult to injury. Try giving back to your community that supports your business Krispy Kreme. Then, I ordered one dozen donuts (half glazed, half chocolate) for $24. When I pulled up to the window, I handed the cashier a $100 bill. He refused it, saying they only accept cards or smaller bills. Imagine that--a business won't take legal U.S. currency. With today's prices, carrying larger bills is normal, and yet they refused to serve me unless I used a card. This was also after 11:00am which a corportation of this size should have enough business that they should make enough money to operate business properly. This means I'm forced to put $24 on my credit card, which really ends up costing closer to $29 once you factor in interest rates on credit cards these days. All for a dozen donuts. This experience shows exactly why businesses like this are losing touch with customers. Prices keep going up, service keeps going down, and the customer experience doesn't seem to matter anymore. I left completely disappointed, and I won't be returning. The next time my wife asks for Krispy Kreme, I'll say: no thanks.

F DoorDash and Uber We walked into the dining room and go in line behind the only other person in the building. Ended up waiting for near 15 minutes for three donuts. Why? Because 5 delivery drivers walked in behind us one after another, they slip the line go right to the register and the workers say they have to help and complete their orders first. I ended up yelling at the last delivery driver to just get back until I get my order because I was sick of waiting to get a few donuts for my pregnant wife. I get it, you have to sell as much as you can, but if you don't want to service customers that are walk-ups then just shut down the dining room for customers and make everything drive-thru or pick-up order only. I would not go through this again for an overpriced donut. read more

They just don't take pride in their product. These donuts were part of their Christmas "Charlie brown ornament" themed donuts. They're just sloppy. A three year old may have made these. They taste great but my big issue here is presentation, err...lack thereof. Sometimes this location will just toss your donut in a bag and sling it to you through the window but these bad boys came in a box this time. There's really no excuse for how ugly these were. It's just one of many times I've come through this location and have had some really jacked up looking donuts. read more

We always drive by and WISH for the "HOT" sign to be on. Because who wouldn't want a warm, glazed, chewy, scrumptious doughnut?!?!? Unfortunately, it's never on when we go by or it is on when we don't have time to stop. But that's ok. That's no problem. It actually makes it super exciting when the timing works out! Like yesterday afternoon. The light was on and we were looking for a perfect sweet treat! So I pulled in and got 6 FRESH glazed doughnuts. The employee did not offer the free hot doughnut- I was kind of irritated but whatever, it's fine. I have 6 in a box, ready to be eaten up. So I went to pay for them..... SIXTEEN dollars. Six doughnuts for $16? What. The. Heck. The doughnuts were good but I don't think they were $16 good. read more

We recently used our Krispy Kreme rewards points to purchase a dozen doughnuts, but were still charged the full regular price at checkout. After calling customer service, they refunded the amount -- but unfortunately, they were unable to return the points we used. It felt like a lose-lose. We placed a second order for two dozen doughnuts. However, when we went to pick them up, the staff member who helped us was extremely rude and dismissive. Between the glitchy rewards system and poor customer service, this has been a really disappointing experience with a brand we used to enjoy. Hoping Krispy Kreme takes this feedback seriously and makes some improvements. read more

On 2/27/26 a Friday night about 6:10pm I went through the drive thru and ordered two glass donuts and a milk. I get to the window she takes my card to charge me. I asked her for the total because I didn't hear her the first time and she says. $46.17. I replied, for two donuts and a small milk?? She apologized and says I thought you said two dozen. Then she says she will do a refund. I was ok with that till she said she wasn't authorized to do a refund and I'd have to wait for the manager who was on lunch and he would t be back for about 20 minutes. Then I said, I have to wait for 20 minutes for a refund?? She seems annoyed and said well you can come back later. I'm thinking, I'm not going to have any evidence if I came back later. Not gonna look to legit without any proof. So she says well you'll have too wait till the manager gets back. I had to sit there for about 25 minutes for a refund. So disappointed in this service. A customer should never have to wait 25 minutes for a refund. You'd think she would have at least said, let me get you your donuts and small milk while you wait. She seemed annoyed that I wanted to wait. All disappointing. read more
