New York Cheesecake Doughnut: Krispy Kreme (KK) has a fantastic origin story. Allegedly, founder Vernon Rudolph bought the recipe for his original doughnuts from a New Orleans barge chef. I just think it's neat that the KK doughnut recipe might have some ties to beignets or other French cuisine. Wherever the recipe came from, there's truly something special about their original glazed doughnuts that transcends the genre. In November of 2025 KK revamped its menu to include different "permanent" flavors. This was a blessing and a curse as it allowed me to finally try the New York Cheesecake Doughnut (which has not been available at my location before), but also saw the departure of my personal favorite, cake batter. The New York Cheesecake Filled Doughnut is an unglazed doughnut dipped in smooth white icing, topped with golden graham-flavored crunch, and filled with rich cheesecake Kreme. KK says the doughnut is inspired by the Big Apple's iconic cheesecake and I think this one hits its mark. Its surface is teeming with the graham flavored crunch, and the icing is sufficiently sweet. There's nothing wrong with the flavor of the graham, but its primary contribution is the crunchy texture as its flavor is eclipsed by the rich cheesecake Kreme (which my doughnut had plenty of). The Kreme is tangy like cheesecake, so if that's not your thing, then you might not like this one. For me, it was tangy enough to evoke cheesecake, but it didn't cross the line into disgustingly tangy like some other cheesecake doughnuts I've had (Grebe's here in MKE). Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts and now this cheesecake doughnut is too, Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews My KK favorites: 1. Hypno-Henry, The Cake Batter Monster 2.

It's a typical Krispy Kreme. You'll find them all over the Southeast, and you know what you're going to get. The main draw is donuts, but you can buy coffee drinks and hot chocolate to go with it. My grandma and I visited recently and ordered an assortment of donuts. She and my grandpa are fans of the traditional glazed donuts, and when the "Hot Now" light is on, those donuts are hot off the assembly line roller. Personally, I am a fan of Krispy Kreme's seasonal and special donuts, and I got a chocolate, cream-filled, Halloween donut called the "Enchanted Cauldron". It was a cake donut, and delicious and exactly what I wanted. I'm not a fan of the glazed donuts, but thankfully, they offer a variety and had plenty in stock, even in the afternoon. The donuts are best fresh, but they do keep for several days, and Krispy Kreme offers something for anyone if you want a sugar high. You can buy one or two donuts, half a dozen, or a dozen donuts- and you can mix and match. My husband prefers the donut holes. To make things easier, Krispy Kreme has a drive-thru, as well as indoor seating and a large parking lot. It's easy to get in and out, and prices are very affordable. read more

Most of the time when I go to this location, they are always out of several cream filled doughnuts. This is several hours before closing. I leave there and drive 8 miles down the road the the Krispy Kreme on Stratfors Rd and they are fully stocked. read more

Great service, friendly staff. Oh, donuts were good. 100% recommend. Next I'll try the cinnamon doughnuts.

We went to this around 9 pm on Friday night. No one was in there. They greeted us after entering and took our order real quick. As usual donut was tasty and they have around 5 tables for seating. They have drive thru also. read more

I was just there and thought to do a review about my very short experience at this specific location. I decided to get a doughnut during my lunch break and when I arrived to the front door of the store it was locked which I then saw a sign stating drive-thru only. Ok that's fine, but what's the reason? Staffing shortages can't still be that much of a problem in mid-2023. I guess it's possible so no problem as I proceeded to the drive-thru. I asked for the most basic thing (glazed) and was rudely told they don't have glazed doughnuts. I just told them that's ok and I drove off. I think I will stick to the Stratford location even if it's out of my way. I don't go to Krispy Kreme often honestly, but when I do stop by I would like to deal with friendly employees and actually getting the most basic thing they sell. read more

Light, really sweet and you can't eat just one. These are the best doughnuts ever, especially when the "Hot Now" sign is on.

My fav donut place ever!!! I stopped by to get the new Choc Peanutbutter donuts they had been advertising and they were sold out!!! How in the world can you be sold out!!???? I was extremely disappointed because I had been wanting to try them read more

Hopefully this was just a random fluke. And hope the 5 stars brings them more business. The hot donuts sign was on at 6:20am today but the drive thru was still closed. Will try again on another day. Hope they open on time. Best of luck to staff and management during these tough times. read more

Wow ! Talk about rudeness.. yes ma'am I only want one cinnamon sugar donut lol. I got a dirty look, wtf really lol . Don't get me wrong the donut I wanted to buy was good but wow " what else do you want ? Thats it ? Fine !" Maybe the lady there needs to retire or something lol she clearly doesn't like making the donuts lol or maybe it's interacting with the customers she doesn't like.. here's another thing nothing like walking into a store and having the employees there not acknowledged you because they're too busy gossiping and saying shit about customers! read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Winston Salem, North Carolina

All the employees had scowls on their faces and there was no communication with each other. The employees were more worried about serving the drive through than the 20 people standing in line. read more

Service was horrible and not friendly. They got the order wrong. Did not have coffee ready then gave us some with grounds. We expected warm they gave us ones from counter. read more

Workers looked very overheated, possibly need new air conditioning. Doughnuts were delicious though!!

Came in the morning to treat our two year old since he's made strides in being a human here lately and the employees were great. They gave us samples of the donut holes, gave our son a balloon and quickly and efficiently served our food. All of the employees were extremely kind and we received great customer service. The donuts were fresh and tasted amazing. read more

I would give a zero if I could but that's not a option while traveling home today I stopped in to use my fundraiser certificate I had previously called a few weeks prior and stopped by prior to my fundraiser certificate coming in and asked if I could get assorted and pay the difference I was told yes by the night manager both times so today while traveling I stopped in and told the girl what I was going to do she went in the back and came out with a gentlemen that told me no I couldn't do that I told him the night time manager said I could and he basically called me a liar then I proceeded to tell him my friend bought one of these and used it at the Stratford location and he said well they get away with more because they are liked better. I called the Stratford store and the manager there said they could do it and proceed to call them I told him that that manager was going to call and tell them how to do it and that I would pay the difference the assistant manager came out and said she didn't care who called she wasn't doing it and that whatever manager told me at their location that it could be done she was putting a stop to it so I asked her if she was refusing my business and age said yes and for me to have a great day they were mocking me laughing. I told the lady I wanted her name and I was calling corporate and she said I don't care who you call I'll tell you the same thing I told them and gave me her name. I left went to the Stratford location and got my assorted doughnuts there. I will never go back to the University parkway location the assistant manager Christian Pace is a monster none of them have any customer experience at all! read more

Maybe it was because it was close to closing time but that was THE WORST service I have ever seen. First of all, it apparently takes 5 people to use a register. Then after they gave away our order to the person in front of us(he ordered a couple dozen and they gave him and extra 6. Can we count and not chat), none of them could figure out what to do next. How about redo our box?? And to top it off the guy behind us was checked out and on his merry way and we are still waiting for the 5 stooges to figure out what to do. They were all very chatty and it seemed as though they knew the guy in front us...so help your customers and talk LATER. We walked out. DON'T EVER LET A PAYING CUSTOMER WALK OUT. It's not rocket science. Never again. read more
