Krispy Kremes is coming! About This Page:

[chezp]

OK, I've heard a lot of good things about Krispy Kremes and now they're opening up their first UK store in London at the start of next month. Hmmmm... I think I may hae to sample it to see if it's as good as you tell me it is!

[vsonnier]

Yay for you! After bashing Kripy Kreme for quite a while and just generally *not getting it* I finally came around. I had my first HOT Krispy Kreme and it made all the difference in the world. YUM!

[DopeyGirl]

Since the only ones I believe they serve HOT (look for the sign flashing "Now Serving HOT") are the plain glazed, you definitely have to get a few!!! They are SO good!!!

I find those darn things to be like Lay's Potato chips . . . I can't eat just one!!! When they're hot, you have to eat a couple!!! The good thing is, that even though they aren't fresh the next day, if you wrap each one in a paper towel or napkin and put it in the microwave to heat it up for about 7-10 seconds, they're just as good as if they were fresh!!! Just don't over-heat them, or else they get hard as rocks!!!

There is only one Krispy Kreme store here in Pensacola, but I will drive to get hot ones sometimes!!! Otherwise, I try to get to the store first thing in the morning because they sell fresh KK doughnuts at the grocery stores.

I'm going to guess that you will like them.

When I was a kid, my parents took us on vacation to Garden City, South Carolina. (It's a beach resort near the famed Myrtle Beach resort area.)

There was a Krispy Kreme bakery down the street from our rental house. The BIG kind that was not a retail store but rather the kind that distributes the boxes of donuts to retail stores ... fresh. They would start frying the donuts in the wee hours of the morning and you could hear the trucks rolling out with their booty going right by our house. (I still remember the trucks over 30 years later ... green and white with red Krispy Kreme lettering on the sides.)

It was too much for my father to bear one morning. He actually went out to the road and flagged down one of the trucks. The driver actually had a stack of boxes of a dozen glazed donuts right next to him and sold my dad (and I would guess multiple other individuals along his route) a box. They were still warm!

We were a family of five. A dozen Krispy Kremes disappeared quickly at our house throughout the day.

Daddy would stand out next to the road every morning we were there and get our morning "fix" for these donuts ... catching the same man each day.

He decided to try it again the next year and sure enough, the same man would happen along with another hot/fresh lot for us.

Krispy Kremes are very light and the almost melt like cotton candy in your mouth. Oh Man are they ever good!


Oh great, now I'm !!!

Enjoy!

We don't have a Krispy Kreme around here. Just as well, cause I think it would be very dangerous for my diet!

<font color="blue">I think Cheryl wants a donut. She seems to have a thing about them today. Enjoy your first Krispy Kremes. </font>

Yikes! I hope you aren't dieting cause they are irresistible!! In college I took a physical fitness course that was pretty much running. Well, I would run to KK and eat 3 donuts and walk back to the campus . No one ever knew!

I drive past our big Krispy Kreme store (the one Sarah/Dopeygirl uses sometimes) every morning. ARGH...it is so hard not to stop, especially when the "hot doughnuts" sign is flashing and I can smell the sugar in the air (esp hard when the top is down!).
Cheryl, I don't really like plain glazed doughnuts, but hot doughnuts now are hard to beat! My secret is to always be running late so I can't stop. It's worked for the most part for 3 years

[Jennifer2003]

Get them while they are HOT!!!

[loobyoxlip]

Oh, it's definitely as good as you've heard Enjoy one for me when they open!!

[imagineerwannabe]

Cheryl,

I will be the odd man here. I like the donuts, but I must watch the sugar and fat, and they definitely have more sugar and fat. I agree, the hot donuts taste very good, but I enjoy lighter donuts a little more.

That being said, I would love to be a franchisee since most stores are very lucrative.

[wdwlovers]

Enjoy Cheryl! I personally like them cold when the glaze is hardened up.

[Colexis Mom]

Enjoy them Cheryl (but be prepared for long lines )

I've only had them a few times, as no stores are close enough to our house. Not bad

[BritDisFan]

I've never tried Krispy Kremes from the sounds of it I don't think it would be a good idea to try them, I might end up liking them too much .

Cheryl, RUN, do not walk, as far away from London and those evil donuts as your legs will carry you. I love these things and contemplate moving closer to a store so I can have the hot ones more often.
