2026 update - i just finished a strawberry icing donut that was so good that i had to bump it up to a 5. that is all for now!

Friendly help. Yummy donuts. Locally owned. Their original shop is down in Maryville. This one is a tiny bit closer to me. I do miss Pop's (what it used to be, the Apple fritters were the best), but Richy Kremes are solid donuts. Not too big, not too expensive. Not too sweet. Filled donuts are actually filled. A solid treat. It's also a cute little shop. read more

I've been in Richy cream donuts; both locations. The donuts were fresh, they had a great variety and we enjoyed the taste.

They have a lot of delicious treats here but my personal fave is their kronut. It's flaky and delicious (and also quite popular) so if you want one you should get there early. I've tried several of their other donuts and they've all been good too. Prices are reasonable and the staff here have all been welcoming and greet me with a smile. I'm no longer in the area but whenever I come back a pit stop here will be in order. read more

The doughnuts are amazing and so good. But yikes they are pricy. ‍ Their custard filled chocolate is the best!!

Great donuts and friendly service. Hands down the best in the area. The space is inviting and clean. Reminds you of the old school donut shops that actually make the donuts on site. read more

Great donuts, awesome service, cute store. No complaints! We went at 8am on a Saturday and there was no wait, we got a dozen donuts (assorted) and they were all good. We will definitely be back, they are our favorite donuts in Knoxville so far! read more

Richy Kreme Donuts opened in Knoxville a couple weeks ago and the line still wraps outside. I arrived around 10 AM and it was still busy. The kolaches go fast, so arrive early if you want some. It's a small building where you order your donuts to-go. Glad they opened up in Knoxville! I've been wanting to visit the location in Maryville for the longest time. I'll still have to visit the one in Maryville just to make sure they sticking to the same recipe. They've been open for 74 years...they must be good! read more

Saturday morning, only a few people in front of us. All of the donuts looked good. The cronut takes like a Krispy Kreme. The Bavarian chocolate donut was heavenly. Husband loved the strawberry jelly donuts. The red velvet looked good but will have to try on the next visit. They were busy but still polite and patient with each customer. This is a pick up and take with you place, no chairs or tables. You can grab some napkins if you think you can't make it home without trying them. read more

Wow, just came from camp honey coffee, please go there for coffe, just up the road, and skip Richy kreme. Horrible. It's father's day and I guess they precooked donuts, because, wow, the driest donut I've ever had. I paid 14 dollars for 6 trash, and I can't express enough, trash donuts. They tasted like the sat out for days, stale and dry. Maybe if you get there when they make them. Not sure, but, be warned. read more

Woke up at 5am on Mothers Day for my daughters, who are mothers, to get them donuts from Richy Kreme. seeing this was their idea I got a little of everything, and I'm glad I did. Beat donuts we've ever eate. much better than that chain Kreme store. Lovally owned and operated for over 100 years so they knew what they were doing. read more

i have lived all over the country and these by far are the best donuts. the maple glazed crème filled is melt-in-your-mouth divine. I hate to share this bc I want to be sure they are there when I go! read more

In years past Richy Cream has been my go to place for donuts. But something happened and the quality hit rick bottom. I splurged today and bought four Apple Fritters priced at $1.99 each. They looked a bit dark but I did t think anything about it. I took one from the bag only to find a stale and burnt pastry. I called the store to let them know. They were not concerned and told me to bring them back. But that would cost too much gas to drive back. I asked her to let the manager know. I don't think I'll go back again. That's two visits getting bad donuts. Quality has left Richy Cream. What a sad day. read more

I bought a box of donuts to take to a group of friends who were helping another move. Everyone raved and said these were the best donuts that they had ever eaten! read more

I loved Richy Kreme Donuts in Maryville as a kid, so I'm excited to now have one right down the street in Rocky Hill! The shop is conveniently located, although parking can be limited during peak hours. Totally worth the trip though. The yeast donuts were just as good as I remember!!! read more

Richy Kreme Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

So I do HVAC and I'm always on the go. I decided to stop by Richey cream donuts to just give it a shot because why not? Let me tell you. I had ordered a strawberries and cream filled donut and it was the best thing I've ever had. 100% tops any donut I've ever tasted. Both people that I encountered there greeted me with a smile. 10 out of 10 would recommend. read more

First off, let me admit that I've been eating Richy Kreme since before I could walk. That original hole-in-the-wall donut shop where the parking situation required you to have nerves of steel and a disregard for your own safety was part of my childhood. The outside was sketchy, but inside was the yeast donut of your dreams. Fast forward several decades, though, and Richy Kreme fell under new ownership, expanded and renovated the old place into a hipster haven, and opened a new location in Rocky Hill. I was dubious at best. The first time I walked into the new location with its cases of over-the-top creations that looked nothing like the limited menu of my memories and everything like a hundred other trendy donut shops, my soul withered a little. Richy Kreme had always been a Maryville secret, an IYKYK kind of place. How could they ruin such a good thing? Luckily, my fears were unfounded. Like the old logo they kept unchanged, the Richy Kreme original lives on, unparalleled among pastries--except for maybe the apple fritter, and friends, you're gonna need a few of those to-go. Whether you champion the oldies or lean toward the cake donuts overflowing with toppings, Richy Kreme should be your first choice when you need a donuts run. Just remember to get there early! read more

These donuts were so oily and way too sweet. I got a dozen and tasted each one and they're just not good. Still searching for good donuts in Knoxville. read more

Richy cream doughnuts are the best doughnuts we have had by far ever. Having moved to Knoxville two years ago, we first visited the Maryville location and fell in love with the soft texture of each doughnut. My husband loves the doughnut holes and cream filled! Nothing beats Richy cream . read more

BEST donuts I have ever had, EVER! I highly recommend the Pumpkin & Red Velvet Cake....Chocolate too! The lemon filled is the best I have ever had. Matter of fact, I have never had a bad donut or anything else from Richy Kreme! Give em a try when you can! You won't be sorry! Becky Coker read more

The donuts are good with good variety options. The service used to be good but now, not so much. The employees are rushing all of the customers to make a decision. When I visited today it was not very busy but there were a few people in line. The person in front of me hadn't finished putting her money up when the employee told us our total and was rushing the other customer to leave. Once we got to the register the employee walked off before our transaction was even completed. The employees are dry and lack luster. I felt this way for the last 2 visits. read more

Some of the best donuts in town! And their sister business Donut Theory has some of the best gluten free donuts!

The donuts are not the same delicious treats since the new owners took over. The quality is poor. I can't find a single piece of apple in their apple fritters! read more

Stopped in for a dozen donuts. This was the second time in a row they got my order wrong. Didn't realize until I got home they messed up. I'm done. read more

Love the location and the Crème Filled Donut was amazing. I normally don't leave reviews for places other than full on restaurants but this was so good I just had to write one! read more
