Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

I love love love Kripsy Kreme donuts! I’ve had them in IA, IL, TX, AZ and now in Bakersfield. I waited on purpose till the initial frenzy died down to go buy donuts due to the long waits mentioned on Unilocal.I went on Sunday 1÷3÷16 just after 7:30am. I purchased a dozen combination that included; raspberry filled, chocolate covered creamed filled, plain crème filled, and last but not least, the regular glazed. I was very disappointed to find all the donuts were STALE. They tasted as though they were made the night before and weren’t sold, so the next morning customers (me) got them. Im so disappointed and I won’t be returning just to purchase stale donuts. I’ll still visit other locations on my travels, but not the one in Bakersfield.

Krispy Kreme– ahhh, my good old friend. I came first on Thanksgiving break, when this place first opened. There were SO many people at that time that the line wrapped around the store. This time when I came with my friends (a few months after) around 10:30AM, the store was relatively quiet and service was quick.
For this visit, I got the plain glazed donut, the apple fritter, and the snowman (a holiday special donut for my youngest sister), and a soy latte. You always need coffee with a nice donut IMO!
These came out quickly since they are made before time, and we all dug in.
I’ll start with the apple fritter. While my sister (who LOVES donuts) gave me a positive impression of the apple fritter, I really was not that impressed with it. All the apple flavor was concentrated in the middle, and the rest of the donut was lighly flavored with sugar and cinnamon. It was so-​so. The plain glazed donut though was GREAT. I really enjoy the simple flavor of donut since that’s just the taste of childhood to me. It tastes like a sugar cloud, and disappears just as quickly! The soy latte was alright, but I’ve had better coffee (especially after being spoiled by other coffee places in San Diego!).
If you want good, cheap donuts that remind you of childhood, I would totally recommend this place! This is one of those places you go at least once in your lifetime, you know?

In a current world where «clean» eating or «healthy» eating in on the upswing trend I still love me a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut. I have never had a glazed doughnut that wasn’t made perfect because of the system they have in place. I’m sure there is a whole list of «naughty» ingredients in these but when you are having a treat you really don’t care. This location being still new is always busy but when there hasn’t been a Krispy Kreme in town for a long time and they come back it is to be expected. The drive thru line is always long during peak doughnut hours. We often go inside since I have kids that love to see how they are made. The biggest complaint we have is the filled doughnuts are always pretty weak as far as filling and could definitely use more. Being that I love these as a treat I hope that this location is better for them and they are able to stay around.

What is the allure of the neon sign beckoning HOT NOW? Whenever I hear that siren’s call I steer straight for the rocky coast and find myself shipwrecked at the front door of a Krispy Kreme drooling and ordering as many glazed donuts as I can justify to myself. For those precious few who are still unaware, there is nothing more enticing in the donut world than a hot fresh glazed donut from Krispy Kreme. I’d say they melt in your mouth, but that seems so heavy handed. One moment you are taking a bite of this light and airy pastry and the next moment it’s gone, disappeared completely leaving only ecstatic taste buds and the impression that something wonderful has occurred that you can’t quite put into words.
What about when the hot now sign is not lit? The donuts are still tasty, but not exactly the transcendent experience described above. Normally I only visit a Krispy Kreme when the sign is lit and only to purchase glazed donuts. I departed from my usual routine the other day when I felt the familiar Krispy Kreme craving and drove halfway across town in the attempt to satiate it. Oh, no!!! The beacon is not lit! What to do? Well, I sucked it up and went inside to find out how the common folk live (ordering cold donuts).
Original Glazed donuts (the ones to which I am addicted) are $ 0.99 each or $ 8.99 for a dozen. Most of the other assorted varieties of donuts are $ 1.29 each or $ 9.99 per dozen, a little pricier, but not a bad deal. Certain varieties, such as the Santa’s belly filed and frosted donut and the apple fritter, are individually priced.
I ordered a glazed raspberry filled donut and a red velvet donut. The filled donut was light and airy and the filling not too overpowering. I’d order it again. The red velvet cake donut had a cream cheesy frosting that tasted good but was horrendously messy. Picture a round donut with a hole in the middle and a topping somewhere in consistency between a custard and a frosting topping it and covering the hole. The moment I took my first bite it started to fall apart getting creamy goo everywhere. This donut doesn’t seem well thought out, and I wouldn’t order it again.
Honestly, the cold donuts averaged out to 3 stars (3 ½ for the raspberry filled and 2 ½ for the red velvet) but the hot now donuts that dance their way through my dreams are a solid five.
Yes, I’m a fan.

I love there donuts, it never fails I keep wanting more after every bite lol. I wish we had more Krispy Kreme in more areas In Bakersfield.

I’m not a big fan of donuts but I have to admit that Krispy Kreme definitely has one of the best glazed donuts.
I have been hesitant to come by because of all the reviews regarding the long lines, so I figured I could wait til it died down in a few more weeks or so after the Krispy Kreme hype calmed down.
It was one of those evenings where my husband craved something sweet and so we decided to give the drive thru a try… I literally put my timer on to see how long it would take and in under 6 min we were in and out of the drive thru.
If we decide to come back here I honestly would just get the glazed donuts. The fillings in the other donuts are extremely sweet for me. I know a lot of people who love the filling, so you definitely have to try it to make your own judgment on it.
Kids definitely dig this place as its a sugar gold mine! Bring the kids to get their sugar rush on!

First and foremost I am not doughnut lover nor a dessert person altogether. However when I obtain a sweet tooth I will search high and low for something sweet to satisfy that craving.
When Krispy Kreme was here before off Stockdale/​California I did not go there at all. At the time I lived in Delano and like I said, not a lover of doughnuts. So they have returned and it seems it is with a vengeance. We initially came a few weeks ago but the stream of customers both inside and at the drive thru was jam packed and intense that we retreated back home. Now that sweet tooth that creeps up on me? Well it hit again and it proposed an opportunity that knocked and said to attempt to get some Krispy Kreme.
My wife, two sons and I made the quick journey over and were happy to see that the line at the drive thru was only about 5 – 6 cars. Guess what? My wife timed it and it only took about 6 minutes from when we entered the drive thru until we pulled away from the window with our goodies.
More importantly, the product! We ordered a dozen of their Glazed doughnuts and a dozen of the Assorted in which we picked some Oreo ones, raspberry filled, crème filled and the cinnamon apple filled. The Glazed ones were fresh and amazing as soon as they hit your mouth and start to melt, I’d come back again soon just for those. The assorted, well I was disappointed to put it simply. The doughnut itself lacked the texture I was anticipating but the flavor were decent. The Oreo one was way tooooooo sweet for me but my kids liked it.
I will return whether it is sometime this week or a few weeks but when I do I will make sure to stop here with they are fresh and it will only be for the Glazed ones!!! But if you have not come out here, try all of them for yourself because my pallette is not the same as yours.

The donuts are very good but they sure looked smaller than I remember. Lots of cars ahead of me so it took maybe ten minutes in line. The employees are very nice and friendly. It’s great to have a Krispy Kreme store again.

Went for breakfast and, and yes there was a line. It’s was fun and kitschy. We took the kiddos who loved standing at the window and watching the doughnuts in the conveyor, they were also super adorable in their paper hats. The pumpkin and green monster doughnuts are super festive. They remind me of Smiths cookies. Plus, super yummy, fun environment and reasonable price (10.00 for a dozen). The negative, super sugary… The ones with cream filling were oozing sugar and just looking at them helped me gain 20lbs. Also, the line was long and their was limited seating (which is usually normal for a doughnut shop). Overall, we will return but not weekly maybe for special occasions. Also, coffee was fine. Nothing special, normal price but not a must have.

Crazy place! I went by the lot on a weekday heading to another nearby store and got in the drive thru line just because there were only 2 cars in the drive thru!
On the weekends right now, you will wait an hour in or out to get served! (or so I am hearing!)
So, I had to follow demand and at least go and check it out!
I got a regular glazed as I think that is their «house donut» to share (they were out of donut holes) and an apple fritter which is taking me a few days to eat from the fridge as I am trying to behave.
Service was friendly.
Not bad! Such sweet treats, moreso IMO than any other donut! Would I wait in line for any donut? No, but I see why the taste is popular.

Well we dropped by to get our favorite donuts (blueberry, and raspberry filled) and found they didn’t have them. We still bought four (raised, Salted Caramel and two crème filled with chocolate frosting). They were ok but nothing great. I doubt we will go back.

I honestly can’t even remember the last time I had Krispy Kreme, but I know the last time I was inside one was when it was last in town about 10 or so years ago. The store has been open about a week now and every time I had passed by it was SUPER busy inside and out. When I went in yesterday the line was relatively short. Located inside the old A&W/Long John Silver, the shop is pretty small. The drive-​thru will probably always be long so going in is your best bet for a shorter line.
Original Dozen: $ 8.99
Assorted Dozen: $ 9.99
I have always enjoyed their glazed donuts since I’m not too keen on any of their others. All of their donuts melt in your mouth like cotton candy which make it so easy to go through 3 of them at once. The amount of sugar on each of these donuts is enough to put you in a sugar coma, and you’re bound to smell like sugar for a few days.
As much as I enjoyed them, I probably won’t go back that often. I’ll stick to our local doughnut shops.

Even at 1:30 in the morning there was still a line that goes around the corner for the drive-​thru! Once we were able to make our order, we were asked to, «hold for a minute,» several times throughout. It seemed as if there was some communication problems between us, the cashier, and her coworkers. But we didn’t mind much, we understand most of the employees are probably new and especially since this location barely opened about 4 days ago.
In the end, our order came out correct and nicely packaged. (Although I was a bit puzzled by the two apple fritters that was packaged in a separate paper bag.) Anyways, we were so excited to grab a bite, that we drove a bit to the side parking lot just to do so! However, we were initially a bit disappointed to find that the 2 dozen glaze donuts weren’t warm– but then again, it was 2 AM at the time –we should’ve expected it.
No matter, the donuts still tasted great, and they were even better after we nuked them for a couple seconds in the microwave!
So basically my only complaint is the slightly cold donuts and my personal opinion of their maple donut ring; which didn’t have enough maple glazing.
I’ll definitely visit again in hopes to see how these donuts are made! Hopefully there won’t be much of a crowd by then.

We all waited oh so long for the comeback.
The comeback of the store that has the best glazed donuts EVER!!!
Boy, I waited 50 minutes for my first dozen of the deliciously goodness and the sweetest morsels in my mouth. Love Krispy Kreme. As I sat in the drive thru… I reminisced of my pregnancy cravings back in Seattle.
Love Krispy Kreme! The the glaze donuts!
Nomzzz nomzzz.
Don’t care about the line. It’s Krispy Kreme!
Krispy Kreme! 5 stars!!!

Mmmmm, just as I remembered them from 16 years ago!
Back in 1999, I stood in line at the Van Nuys location for over an hour to get my hands on these fluffy donuts, and they have not changed at all! Still the same great, melt-​in-​your-​mouth donuts! Of course, I’m only talking about the original glazed, cause that’s all that matters. I have tried the others before and they were ok. Nothing spectacular.
I went to this location at about 5:30 and there was a nice line, but nothing crazy. After standing in line for a few minutes, I was finally told that there was a separate line for those wishing to only buy the glazed. That line was significantly shorter. In and out in about 20 mins. Not too bad considering I stood in the wrong line for about 5.
If you’ve never had a Krispy Kreme donut, you should definitely go get some!

Krispy Kreme is back in Bakersfield!!! They are located where A&W/Long John Silver used to be. They have been open since September 1^st. As expected, there was still a line out the door. The 30 minute wait passed quickly. Enjoyed watching the assembly line of original glazed doughnuts being prepared.
Happy to say that the Original Glazed doughnuts still tasted «Melt in my mouth» delicious! Not a fan of any of the other flavors though.
There is a very limited seating area. Shop was clean and staff was friendly.
Will return from time to time in order to satisfy my Krispy Kreme craving. Welcome Back!

FINALLY, Krispy Kreme is BACK in Bakersfield. I remember back in the day when there was one open on Stockdale. Now, it is located near Rosedale and Calloway (by Kohl’s). I can now satisfy my KK cravings on a whim. It just opened so this place is crazy busy but my-​oh-​my, are these donuts worth it! I’m an «original glazed» kind of girl but they have other types of donuts, all delicious. What sets KK apart is that the donuts are melt-​in-​your-​mouth soft and airy without compromising flavor. The donuts are pretty sweet, so be warned: this will throw you off a diet if you are on one. It’s seriously hard to just have one. Check it out!
Also, side note: if you have leftover donuts, pop it into the microwave for 10 sec and it comes out great. Nice, warm, and soft!

Amazingly so far so bad. My first day at the store Sept 2^nd. In drive thru for 20 minutes. In my book, thats a large loss at minimum $ 10 a dozen equal to $ 200 for the wait with cars behind me. Don’t buy the apple fritters again. Raw and found no apples. (Maybe apple flavored)
Purchasing for someone else on Sept 3^rd. Decided to call for hours. Recording said 24 hours a day. Great. Drive thru again at 5am. Ordered 1 dozen glazed. Oh sorry, we are out of glazed until 530am. Really?
OK let me get this straight. …open 24 hours a day, out of glazed. I didn’t come here for a burger. Waiting in parking lot for 30 minutes now until 530am. Not real happy. Maybe a donut will cheer me up.
Doesn’t matter what my personal feelings are. Just adding what occurred in 2 days.

All I gotta say is… welcome back Krispy Kreme!
I forgot how good these tasted until last night. My sister and I decided to go to Krispy Kreme (thinking they closed at 9:00) but really they didn’t close until 10:00 (which is the time we received our donuts). The wait was so long, about a 1 hour wait if you were going through drive-​thru service. Not sure on the wait inside the facility but it was worth the hour wait to get my donuts. Glad they’re back and happy to finally taste their amazing donuts!

We’ve finally got KrispyKremes back after a long 10 year hiatus. The only difference this time around is, in my opinion, a better location. and the staff is so very friendly and helpful as well. For example, They had an issue with the cash registers for a brief moment and without hesitation the young man behind the counter gave my family a FREE dozen doughnuts just for the small inconvenience, amazing! this staff gets it.
