Krispy Kreme is overrated

Gotta ask for one that's fresh out of the machine and unglazed. Then boom, you just ate a savoury cloud. Here in the Greater Toronto Area, they have one last retail spot open where the deep frying machine is behind the front desk. The process is mesmerizing. Just like watching a shawarma mwat tray slowly rotate.
Much better than the stuff tim hortons calls donuts.

Krispy Kremes are way too sweet for my taste. Doughnuts are one of the most delicious foods there is. It's fried dough, for fuck's sake! There's no reason to completely douse them with a sugary glaze.

Ask them for unglazed donuts fresh off the line. They actually taste better.
Krispy Kreme is way too sweet. I like traditional UK donuts - freshly cooked with a little sugar on. Or Mr Donuts old fashioned is godlike.
Oh, never though of this - will give it a try.

I should do that next time I'm near one. I've never even thought of it.
I did get my local doughnut shop to make me a batch of crullers without any glaze, and they were heavenly.

Never got the big deal about Krispy Kreme donuts. They aren't bad, but they're no better than any other donut you'd find at your typical mom and pop donut shop. They're fine, but not really of note.

If you're in Sydney, you can find some great doughnuts in lots of places, you just have to look. There's a small bakery close to my place which I get doughnuts and other pastries from quite often! God-tier stuff.

soft krispy kremes are godly. Crack in donut form.
It literally is. Figuratively speaking.
That combination of sugar and fat is almost perfectly balanced to fool the body's self regulating systems that tell you you've had enough. Eat just sugar and you'll naturally stop after a while same with just fat. But together they are crack. And a Krispy Kreme original glazed is the perfect ratio

op had a stale box from Walmart
bump for great donut justice
So this time I bought a still-warm donut with chocolate frosting and chopped pecan nuts - not from Krispy Kreme but from the Harris Teeter supermarket here in Nashville. And this thing was great!
Being the greedy bastard that I am I couldn't wait to get home so I ate the damn thing as I was walking from the store. I promptly turned around and walked back to buy some more.
I guess donuts can be really good after all. I clap at thee, America.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Look at that, you're already becoming an American.

Eating a KK doughnut at room temp is like eating ice cream at room temp. There's no point.
Yep.

I agree. I only eat donuts 1-2 times a year.
If I do eat donuts I get:
Maple bar
Classic sprinkled
And this is why I love Eat St in Brisbane. The desserts are amazing and really great quality, like milky buns!

Apple Cider Donuts infront of Cabelas in East Hartford are the best I've had to date.
Some people love Krispy Kreme, and I can tolerate a glazed one sometimes, but the glazing is way too much for me. It's like some sort of greasy, gross soft sugar mess.
I like cake-style donuts. Dunkin Donuts has both soft squishy chocolate-frosted-on-the-top, and cake, firm, chocolate-frosted-on-the-top donuts. I like the cake style because it actually feels like you're eating something that isn't dripping in grease, mashing in your hand, or coated entirely in glaze.

Fry a glazed KK donut in butter like a pancake until it's caramelized.

I usually do the mom and pop doughnut shop instead of the chain places. They usually have a larger selection and better customer service.
Granted, I usually just get boring long johns though.

DD donuts are honestly some of the worst donuts of any place around here. Grocery stores> Friehofers>Dunkin Donuts donuts.
Hell, everything is whack at DD actually. Their coffee tastes like chemicals. Their bagels are awful,flavorless, and underbaked.
Sucks that my relatives gave me so many gift cards to the place.
Had DD for the first time recently and have to agree with this, utter trash. If you can't make a decent glazed donut you have no business making donuts and sure as hell don't deserve hype for it.

I remember the first time I've tasted KK. I was hanging out with some friends on January 1 a couple of years ago and they wanted to eat those donuts, I had to be in like for line 40 minutes (here in Puerto Rico there's res like 2 stores in the entire country, so lines are crazy) I bought a 12 glaze donuts, went home. Too a bite of the first one and said "ok" and put it down, leaved the donuts in the house and didn't bother to have any more. Way too sweet for me.
This. Holy god their fresh glazed!
I like it so far. But I have mostly been swamped with work so my interaction with the city has been limited.

A Krispy Kreme openned like a decade ago in the town I lived in and the media and public went donuts about it. I couldn't enjoy them. They were way too sweet. They went out of business after just a couple of years, I think.
Just give me a classic sprinkled donut any day.

Why would you ruin a perfectly good doughnut by putting chocolate icing on it.
