It's always nice to have options !! Krispy Kreme is a great "Donut-Chain" Option to have. In the Great Northwest for some reason it seems to be limited to Top Pot and Mom & Pop shops. Krispy Kreme offers Great Coffee and a Damn Good Glazed Doughnut. There is nothing like a Hot Glazed Krispy Kreme right off the Cooling Rack and a cup of Coffee !! It literally melts in your mouth !! Fantastic. Sure they have other choices, Maple Bars, Jelly filled, Seasonal treats..... They are all pretty good too. Really cool being able to see the assembly line type process in making them. I don't know of any other doughnut place that has that. This is a nice location and usually pretty busy. A short distance from the Ferries & the Stadiums. Usually very clean with locks on the bathrooms (probably due to local transients) Always a Great Stop and if you can grab a box at night for your next morning at work I'm sure your fellow co-workers in the morning would be very happy with a surprise like that. read more

Terrible place. Gone twice before the drive thru closed and both times the workers ignored us. Didn't even come out to tell us they were closed. Guess they always close 45 minutes - 1 hour early. If you want donuts after 8 pm then dont go here because chances are that the workers will ignore you! (: read more

Love when the donuts come out fresh and hot. You can't just eat one or two! Just don't come in to buy any after 1pm, because you'll be buying cold and stale donuts which don't taste that appealing. Service is a hit or miss depending on who's working the front counter. Every time I stop in, there's homeless people begging for money out in the parking lot. Not what you want to run into when thinking of buying donuts read more

The place wasn't even busy. I went inside to get my dozen assorted and asked for a Carmel vanilla iced drink. The big guy in red made it bad as if the drink is spoiled. I asked for whip cream but he didn't even put it on. I was nice when I asked for my drink and donuts but gave me bad customer service. Please re-train your workers and check your milk if it's expired. read more

The service is horrible. Very rude and the girl at the checkout is angry for no reason

It's Krispy Kreme. Get 'em fresh and they practically melt in your mouth. What else needs to be said?

Came here on Saint Patties Day and the donuts were green and delicious!! I always microwave the donuts for like 10 seconds and they taste heavenly. read more

Krispy Kreme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

So of course the donuts are soooo good, Damn near addicting. The place is large with lots of parking and a drive thru. Its in a heavily traffic congested part of Seattle and the only location close and within reasonable driving to by downtown, SeaTac, Tukwila, South Center area. The donuts here are what you'd come to expect. Which is good food wise. The lines arent that long during the mornings. However, they lose many points on customer service because frankly there isnt much of it. The biggest knock is at the drive through especially on Sundays. The service at the drive thru is probably the most difficult to deal with. Maybe some of it has to deal with the speaker but when were in a car pool and different people order each time were here and they cant get our order right/mix it up. Thats fine people make mistakes but there is one lady who has a really bad attitude when we let her know at the window thats not what we ordered. Since the next closet Krispy is past North Seattle (25 mins away when traffic is not busy) or in Issaquah (across the 90 and several cities away) we put up with the bad service for the good donuts. read more

In my spirit of trying things I don't understand on my recent USA trip, I gave Krispy Kreme another try. I've tried them in the UK and when I said I didn't like them in my Yelp review, I received many anguished messages from American Yelpers telling me how misguided I was and how to eat them - apparently, they're best microwaved for 7 seconds on high! Just in case they taste different on this side of the pond, I gave them another go. They're pleasant in that slightly over-sweet way and I made sure I got a warm one but seriously guys, at that price, they're extortionate. It may be the Chinese thrifty gene in me but they're not worth that money. read more

In my mind, there are two types of people in the world: 1) Those who will readily and willingly admit that they love the fresh hot original glazed donuts from Krispy Kreme. & 2) Liars. read more

Lyrics by Corinna K. Look at this box, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think that my dozen's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything? Look at this trove, treasures untold. How many doughnuts can one stomach hold? Looking around here you think, "Sure, she's got everything". I've got cakes and old fashioneds a-plenty, I've got fritters and sprinkles galore You want cream filled? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal. I want more... I wanna be where the doughnuts are, I wanna lick, wanna lick the frosting. Licking it off of those - what do you call 'em? Oh - bars! Eating some fruit, you won't get too far. Treats are required for eating feelings. Chasing away all those - what's that word again? Scars. Eating a glazed, eating the holes, Trying to reach all my deep-fried goals. Doughnut-in' free - wish I could eat All of that world What would I give if I could live only on doughnuts? What would I pay to spend a day, eight in each hand? Bet'cha that you can't understand, Bet you can't eat that many crullers. Bright young women, sick of slimmin', Time to expand. And ready to part with my body's needs. Fuck all your protein, I want some bear claws. What is a carrot and why should I - what's the word? Care? No I won't share. Why would I share, or give up my torrid doughnut affair? Please let me be So I can eat All of that world. read more

My iced coffee here was horrible; I wasn't expecting an amazing espresso cup or anything because they are not a coffee shop, they are a donut place, but it wasn't even Mcdonald's standard. I think I got the bottom of the iced coffee container and so the guy just top it off with hot coffee melting the ice cubes resulting in a watery drink. Blah. Besides that, the donuts are decent. I don't crave it that much to want to make the drive to Seattle, but if I'm out and that's the only place with a public bathroom, I'll buy something to be able to use the bathroom. I don't get the hype, it's just donuts. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

This is a fun visit to overload on calories- but for a good cause- the cause being my tastebuds and my inner child are always pleasantly delighted. Try to come with the sign is on, which means the doughnuts are rolling off the assembly line and you get a free one. If not, a regular raised for 10 seconds in the mircowave at home and you feel like it just came off the line. I like their crullers a great deal but I was sad to find out that there are no more chocolate flings. I was heartbroken, but like prohibition when you're an alcoholic, it may be a good thing. DRIVE THROUGH! WOOOT! read more

To my retrospective chagrin, wisdom did not bestow itself upon me the first several visits whence I consumed the fluffy, seemingly benevolent rings. Stomachache after stomachache, so bedazzled was I by the notion of donuts so fresh they're still warm. Ere to the Krispy Kreme, I'd ne'er sampled a pastry so sugar-laden that mine belly wailed a banshee's chorus of pain. A masochistic devil within me became addicted to the ring-ed imps for a short while. O, joyous day was such whence my path was bestowed with Top Pot Doughnuts, the hearty treats that not only sate one's appetite, but also quells a fiery sweettooth. Ne'er again, shall this bard be tricked by the Krispy Kreme witches of yore. Nay, instead he shall pledge allegiance with the forces of good, the forces of tasty. The forces of Top Pot. Word, I say. read more

I have tried Krispy Kreme many times before and am impressed by how light and fluffy the doughnuts are. I always seem to have tried only their original glazed which is what they are known for, but since I am a fan of doughnuts I would definitely have to try the other kinds. I can probably easily eat a half dozen of them at one sitting, but it would be bad for my diet and the overall added calorie count LOL! They are just heavenly when they are fresh and warm. Right now they have an offer of $13.99 for two dozen. On a side note if you have Foursquare they have a free combo offer when you check-in here. read more

Needed to satisfy my doughnut craving. Not going to lie, this was my first time going to a doughnut shop that's not a dunkin donut. Been planning to come here for weeks now. Today was that day! Walked in and found out that they were out of their original. Was told the wait was only going to be a 10-15 minute wait. So my girlfriend and I decided, why not. At this location you can see their doughnuts made right in front of you. See them go into the fryer and glazed on their conveyor. My girlfriend and I were the only ones waiting so as soon as they came out, we were the first to get the newest batch. Let me tell you, when someone is craving doughnut, nothing beats a freshly fried doughnut straight from the oil. I drooled watching it go from the fryer on to the conveyor belt into my hands and into my stomach. Ended up buying two dozens because they had a double doughnut deal. Two dozens for 15.99. On top of waiting which was voluntarily. My girlfriend and I received two fresh free doughnut on top of the two dozens we bought because we waited patiently. Very well treated by their staff. I am very pleased with this visit. P.S. felt very guilty afterward. Was too good to eat only just one. read more

Warm, glazed rings of sugary heaven.

The best doughnuts!! Even the original flavor is bomb!! Haven't tried their coffee tho

So, after many years, I finally walked into a Krispy Kreme location. Nothing against the chain, I was just never that excited about doughnuts to go in. Its been some time since the crazy hype for these places hit the northwest and I have had a few here and there, but this was the very first time I had the opportunity to sample one of their famous creations hot off the assembly line. One thing I noticed right away was how sparkling clean every nook and cranny of the place was almost to the point where it kind of creeped me out just a little bit. Still, this was really nice considering the location in the heart of the SoDo district which is not exactly know for being upper class in any way. The service was fast, friendly, and my order was filled in a very efficient manner. before I knew it, I was on my way with four doughnuts neatly tucked into a box for my eventual enjoyment. Of course, the first one didn't last long as I needed to try one of the hot, fresh ones as this is when they are supposed to be at their best. I will say it was pretty tasty although there was no magical transformation that would have been cause for undue celebration, but yeah...no complaints. read more

I like the original glazed doughnuts. What I hate is the service. It's awful. Totally awful. We show up. It's 830 on a Saturday morning. There is one customer ahead of us. They had ordered a dozen and some lattes or something. Ten minutes later, they are still taking and making coffee drinks for them. ALL I WANTED WAS 4 DONUTS!!!! By this time, there is a massive line behind us, all getting real impatient. The place is full of employees. Half of them just standing there doing nothing. The line goes near to the door and there still is only one person working the line. In the meantime, the donuts are flying our the drive thru. I could have gotten my order and then went back in line at the drive thru 2 more times before I was helped. That is totally unacceptable. Because of that, we go elsewhere. They are fired. Don't go there. read more

This place rocks. Friendly workers and great selection.

You are probably reading this because you have a donut craving; just give in.... to diabetes and obesity. 50% off a dozen during their last hour open (10-11pm weekdays, 11-12am weekends). During most visits the employees have been rude as hell. If I wasn't on a sugar high from the donut, I'd smack your _____ ___. Seriously though, I really get the sense that they hate their customers almost as much as they hate their jobs. But wait, don't fat kids love cake (and donuts)? I do. read more

(A Krispy Kreme Haiku) Delightful doughnut Bright neon singing hot now Pristine glazed goodness read more

I freaking LOVE krispy kreme. The doughnuts are so light and fluffy. They are best when they are hot and fresh too. I think just the regular ones are great without all the stuff on top. One thing I like about the 1st ave location is that it is crowded meaning that the donuts are made more frequently and you get the hot, fresh goodness instead of room temp. The only downside is there are alot of homeless around. It makes me feel guilty to eat after seeing them. read more

So a long time ago I was a little kid. Well... a little fat kid. But still we have the adjective little and the noun kid, so technically I speak truthfully. Being a little [fat] kid, I didn't have much choice when it came down to things like waking up way too early on a Sunday, putting on way too many dressy clothes, and then going and sitting with way too many people in a church for way too long. What got me through it? The knowledge that at the end of the services, they'd have donuts and coffee, and to a little fat kid, there ain't nothin better, 'specially when there's cream and sugar cubes to drop in that coffee. I was particular to anything chocolate, but if they didn't have anything chocolate, I'd have a jelly filled. Then we'd listen to British comedy on the radio on the drive home, and the rest of the day was mine to burn off the extra calories, though I didn't manage to do that until junior high school. Tonight, while waiting for my band-mates to make an appearance for practice, it occurred to me that it's been years since I've had a donut and coffee. Maybe because it's been years since I set foot in a church. As it happens, there's a Krispy Kreme a mere 3 blocks from our studio. So into the car I got, and to the Krispy Kreme I drove. I walked into this cathedral of dough and sugar, and the guy behind the counter immediately hands me a hot, fresh, glazed donut that literally melted in my mouth. Dude, you're preaching to the choir here. After I thanked the powers that be for such a heavenly concoction, I promptly ordered a chocolate and a jelly filled. To top it off, I had myself a medium cup of joe with enough room for me to dump a generous helping of half and half and sugar in. My inner fat kid belched pleasantly. And I didn't even have to put on a suit. read more

I'm not a doughnut person but decided to check this place out on my way to the Home Depot. It's really cool when you walk in because you get a feeling as though you're in a doughnut factory! They have a glass wall where you can literally see the doughnuts being cooked and passing along the conveyor belt. It's really cool! The smell of doughnuts fill the air and man they sure smell yummy!! I got an orange juice and a cake doughnut. The doughnut clearly tasted super fresh, very moist and tasted very much like an old fashioned cake doughnut. I was very happy while eating it! I'm going to definitely come back just to see the doughnut station!! read more

For those who aren't a giant fan of sweets, this review is for you. This was my first visit to Krispy Kreme. We got a half dozen, but I only tried two because I couldn't handle the sweetness. I had the original and a bit of the brownie batter donut. It was good but not spectacular. I actually think this brand of donuts is overrated and hyped up for disappointment. The original glaze was super sweet, it actually gave me a little ache in my mouth. It'd be great with coffee and awesome for kids and those who love sweet donuts. I really love fluffy donuts and this had no fluff. It felt flat and the glaze is really over powering. I would eat it again, if someone else bought it lol. I've had better donuts (try Delite Bakery!) and the brownie batter was the same as the glaze just with fudge in the middle and chocolate on top, not super exciting either. The service was really friendly and the place is super duper clean, which I enjoyed! read more

Krispy Kreme - Diabetes in a box! Maple bar, cookies n cream, raspberry filled, and coffee cake! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Warm, freshly made doughnuts? High-five! Seriously, there are better places in town to get a doughnut, and I'm not big on driving all the way to SoDo to get one. However, these are tasty and consistently good, and certainly best when enjoyed fresh. Their coffee is vile, however, and the location--way the hell away from everything--means that I go there once a year, tops. Krispy Kreme is like an acquaintance that you see at parties once in a while, enjoy making small talk with for 15 minutes, and never exchange contact info with because, let's be frank, you know you could never be BFF's, and you like to keep it real by not creating a friendship that isn't there. I like you, Krispy Kreme, but we don't have to hang out all the time. read more

I looooooooooooove Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. They are my favorite above all doughnuts I've had from anywhere else, including Top Pot. The drive-thru option is super convenient for when I want to have my sugar fix on the go or when I'm headed home from a long day downtown. There are few things in this world that are better than a freshly baked glazed doughnut. I just love how they are SO light and not too sweet. They literally melt in your mouth! Yummm. And, like an idiot, I picked up my doughnuts from the wrong end of the bag one time and they fell on the floor. I seriously wanted to cry, but the lovely lady working that day replaced them for free. read more

I knooooow, I'm not supposed to like these evil chain doughnuts when we have Top Pot, Voodoo, and Frost in the neighborhood...but NOTHING beats KK's original glazed. The doughnuts are light and airy and if you go in the morning, still warm off the conveyor belt (evidence of evil!). They are like addictive candy pieces - pop them in one after another in your mouth, and before you know it, you've eaten all 12. I've done this, at least, but instead of crying about the astronomical caloric content and my highly increased chance for diabetes, I just go back for more. Oh, for shame! I will always love you, Original Glazed. Always. read more

This place made me experience the best drive-through experience in the US so far! The woman on the speaker was very friendly and upbeat, my order was correct and I liked the Doughnuts (classic and chocolate glazed). read more

Try the little baked cakes! They're like a cross between muffins and cake-cakes. Granted they're not doughnuts, but they'll satisfy your sweet tooth just as well (at a slight premium... worth it though). My favorite is the lemon raspberry cake but they're all quite good. I can't imagine how much fat goes into keeping them soft and delicious for so long, but you're not allowed to think about such trivial matters, ssshhh. I particularly love the SODO location because 1) the employees are always so nice and friendly, and 2) they're currently offering half-off dozens after 9PM! read more

*** DRIVE -THRU PATRONS BEWARE!!! ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR CHANGE BACK HERE!!! *** Let's face it, here in Seattle, there are other more delicious, donut options i.e. Mighty-O and Top Pot. That being said, every once in a while, a plain, glazed, Krispy Kreme donut still hits the spot, especially when the "Hot Light" is on (or if not, you can take it home and stick it in the microwave for 10-seconds and it's almost as good as being fresh off the line). Today (at about 2 or 3 PM) my husband and I found ourselves at the Lowes up in Bitter Lake, and after 1 hour of circling Lowes looking for home maintenance-related goods, a Krispy Kreme donut was just what I needed. I convinced him to go through the drive-thru and we ordered 1 donut each. Our total came out to $2.28. We gave the drive-thru employee $5.28. He handed us our donuts, some napkins, and then just stared at my husband blankly until my husband said " Uh... Our $3.00 change?" to which the employee suddenly came alive and said "Oh, I give that at the end!" and held up our change with his other hand (the one that was furthest away from the drive-thru window). I CALL BS!!!! Now I have never been a food service employee, but i have been through my fair share of drive-thru windows and the exchange has always been: Pay, get change back, then get food and napkins at the end. My husband and I are thinking that this gentleman wanted to pocket our change, and hoped we would drive away after he handed us our food and napkins. 4 Stars for a delicious when warm donut that magically melts in your mouth -2 stars for the employee who tried to pocket my change. (Yes, it's just $3.00 but in this day and age, every little bit counts, and it is totally NOT OK.) I am hoping Krispy Kreme Owners/Management reads this and addresses this issue with its employees. read more

I was in the store in the SODO district on 6.2.2015, my 51st Bday and was treat with disrespect. The young lady who served me was rude and insensitive and the fact that she smashed my cream donut in the bag and refused to replace it without an argument in front of other costumers. Bad costumer service. Then the manager said she was sorry and would send me a coupon for a free donut. Really? I drive 20 miles for a Krispy Kreme donut, it get's smashed and I get treated rudely and all I get is a coupon for a replacement donut? ok..never going there again, I stead went to TOP POT donuts at Alki, nicer people. The donuts are good, the costumer service on this day wasn't. read more

Went at 11:30 pm and the very friendly nice drive thru guy gave us free donuts. :) what a great time to be alive!

This is our favorite Krispy Kreme location - because it is open late and the Hot Now sign always seems to be on! I'm deducting 1 star because last time we were there and the Hot Now sign was on - the samples were 1/8 of a doughnut - WTF? Not like we aren't going to buy a dozen to go................ read more

This isn't about the donuts! Don't believe their website! This place is not where they say it is on their map. Google map it or you'll end up in an empty parking lot. Just saying... in case you want to wander drunkenly like I did to Stewart and 1st and not have a donut. read more

It's a Krispy Kreme, which basically means it smells good, there's a bunch of parking, it's open late, and also, of course, there are doughy pillows of joy waiting to kick you in the health crotch. That's okay though... ain't no shame here... The doughnuts are both seasonal (aka cute little pumpkins, snowmen, or hearts) and/or classic (I suggest the cream filled ones)... And also created with consistency. I've always found the service to be friendly and fast at this particular location, as well, perfect for running in and out to grab dessert, some doughnut holes, diabetes, whatever you fancy... Oh well, yolo. Waistbands beware!! read more

Who doesn't like a Krispy Kreme donut? So this place doesn't make the best donut in town, but they are always stocked full of donuts are consistent with what they make. The chain of all chains, if you have a hankering for something sweet and fried, this is a quick place to get your donut. My favorite thing about this Krispy Kreme is being able to view the fresh donuts being made,other than that, everything is the same, same donut, same decor, dame price, same taste. read more
