I may have been the 1st Krispy Kreme consumer in Memphis, when they opened the 1st location in this area. Because I moved my restaurant out of a building which was quickly leased by KK. A pastry lover, I was there the morning they opened! & Though I try not to consume very many these days, KK is my fave treat tied with Ice Cream! Working inside a donut or an ice cream place is not as easy as it looks. Pretty much anywhere we go these days:: We are all in a hurry, just want 2 minutes of attention, etc. & No, many employees don't give their full attention to the customer's order. It's very irritating to me when I have to repeat twice more what I've already clearly said. Listening Skills & Attention Spans are not what they used to be, that's for sure! But we may cut a little slack if it's OUR DAUGHTER or SON behind the counter! I went in to this KK mid-afternoon, & 3 employees courteously helped me. I've never encountered a problem with the QUALITY or CONSISTENCY of KK products. The store was very clean, & the heavenly smells made me want to sit & devour my treats right then & there! So I did, while observing . . . Walk a mile in their shoes. I have. I've trained hundreds of food employees ~ some "got it" & some didn't. These employees make a low hourly wage ~ they do not make a pocketful of tips like Servers, nor do they have the training. So I try to have patience . . . read more

Do not ever come here. Customer service is horrible and they always run out of doughnuts. Like today they don't even have the advertised chocolate doughnuts. Terrible management oversight on their part and also for not updating website to inform customers. Second, none of the other stores won't even answer their phones to confirm if they even have doughnuts available. That is terrible for customers like me coming over 30 minutes away. Please have executive management look into this problem as this is ongoing and your store mangers on site are absolutely no help at all. read more

This place used to be 5 star! Last time I came on a Friday night at 7pm and they were out of glazed donuts, yes really! Now Friday night at 7pm I am sitting in line 12 deep moving as slow as I will be after I finish this half dozen! read more

Not the best Krispy Kreme. The staff was to busy to help and after you did manage to order they neglected to tell you where to pick up your order and there are not signs for the "pick up" area. After asking I was treated like I should have know and when I come over to pick up my order, the employee seemed to have no idea they were supposed have put it together and I had to wait longer for her to do so. I've not been back there since this incident. What's worse is the donuts weren't even that fresh. read more

This Krispy Kreme advertises a new cinnamon roll. I go to this shop and guess what, they are out. There is no reason for a company to advertise something as much as they do and than be out when a customer wants to buy. What the heck is going on at this location? Do not waste your time going to Krispy Kreme, there are plenty of other donut shops who appreciate a person's business. read more

Terrible service! They lost my order and tried to fake it when I finally got fed up after seeing several people getting their orders well after I placed mine. read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

Very rude service. I called asked for a manager the lady said she was the manager. She kept over talking me. I told her not to worry about it. I had to get to work. I said I didn't know this was kindergarten. That I needed permission to talk. I said have a blessed day. Hung up on her. This is what happened before I called l went a young lady greeted me asked what I wanted I was beginning to tell her well she put her hand up said wait a minute then turned around started talking on headset. She turned her back to me. That is very disrespectful.well guess I didn't need the doughnuts. read more

By far one of the worst Krispy Kreme restaurants I have ever been in. First they do not know how to run their app gift cards. More than one time I have come into this location and they still have not learned how to process gift cards. The manager is not very helpful and the majority of the staff seems like it is a bother to help customers. Other customers have walked out in front of me because of the lack of urgency and knowledge of the staff. Not recommended for service or speed either. read more

Skip this place. Worst customer service ever. No one was in the store, but manager who made eye contact still would not wait on us for over 3 minutes. The manager grunted at me, and pointed to the cash register on the southwest corner. Did not have any of the Valentine donuts at 8pm and no one was even there. Lazy, incompetent, uncaring manager needs to find another job where she does NOT come in contact with people. Also, please clean up the restroom. Smelled like a old folks home. In Bartlett, go to the Donut Box on Kirby-Whitten. Great product and superior service and huge selection. read more

Closing in an hour and 15 minutes and can't make one dozen of chocolate donuts? Poor service!

I only went to Krispy Kreme because my go-to (Bartlett Donuts) was closed for vacation. The donuts are expensive ($12 for a mixed dozen???) and just ok. The service is horrible. When I was trying to give my order, the girl kept interrupting me. I finally had to start over because I had forgotten what I had already ordered. When I told the girl I needed to start over, she gave a very loud irritated huff into the speaker. Rude!!! Someone needs to train this girl in good customer service. I won't be returning to Krispy Kreme. Go to Bartlett Donuts! Amazing, family owned local business. read more

Absolutely terrible service. if they have 5 cars in drive thru just turn around because it will be 30 mins or longer.

Great doughnuts and coffee, I love the perks. Great location and the wait is never long and the staff is nice and friendly.

I don't come here often but every time I do, the service is slow. They had the hot and READY sign on today and I still had to wait 10 minutes for my order. Doesn't seem like they are skilled in making doughnuts. They were throwing a lot away. Overall service is slow and I prefer any other other Krispy Kreme Shop. read more

Even time I go they are Oort if basic donuts.. the simple raspberry filled out, crepe filled out. They suck their

I arrived at the drive-through at 7:10 this morning. There were about 9 cars in front of me. No problem . . . I can wait 10 minutes or so. After 10 minutes, nobody had moved. Two of the cars in front of me couldn't wait any longer and left. I waited another couple of minutes and, when still nobody moved, I also left. I'm not sure what the issue was with the person at the window, but out of respect for others in line, they should have asked that car to move forward to allow others, who were just picking up an order or placing a simple "dozen glazed" order, to process through. I understand it's a tough time for all of us in this environment, but companies need to figure out how to "process" orders in a timely fashion in order to provide a great customer experience, positive "word-of-mouth" advertising and, ultimately, to bring back a repeat customer. read more

If I could rate this location a zero I would! Do not waste your time at this location. If you really want Krispy creme, it's better to just drive to a different location. Time wise it will actually be faster. Walked in, and there were 4 people ahead of me in line. 4! That's it. Waited in line for 30 minutes! Finally walked out. The selection of donuts was terrible. They are a donut place and can't even get that right! They are plenty staffed, but can't understand the concept of an assembly line. You just see a bunch of employees standing around like they don't know what to do. This location needs severe management training so they can figure out the simple task of making and selling donuts. They are currently simply riding off the name "Krispy Creme" to stay in business. read more

Donut selection was pretty good for mid day...but the coffee. It is the worst coffee I have had in a long time. It tasted burnt. I would have been better off stopping at a gas station to get coffee. Even after eating a donut and eating a peppermint I can still taste the horrid coffee. Bleck! Three stars for the donuts and if I could give negative stars for the coffee I would. read more

They have a small, older, manager here that works her tail off! Good coffee and donuts!

I was there in a Sunday afternoon. 6 people behind the counter -2 women helping ONE customer, 2 girls huddled together talking, 1 fella walking around 1 girl about to clean the drive thru window. I was the only other customer in there besides the woman ordering at the counter. No one was manning the conveyer belt and donuts were going into the trash can and on to the floor. What a waste!! I used to think KK was expensive bc they're good, but apparently it's to cover wastage costs when employees goof around and let all the donuts pile up on the floor read more

Krispy Kreme - What a waste. Donuts everywhere on the floor bc no one was manning the conveyer belt. I was there, they were NOT busy - Donuts Near Me - Bartlett, Tennessee

Just got overcharged for doughnuts. I brought it to the young lady's attention and she handed me my doughnuts and said sorry. How about handing me the cash!!! Seriously!!? Won't be back, thanks. read more

After getting bad service multiple times, we have now decided to boycott this KK location. These donuts are NOT worth the rudeness and attitude you get when you go to this Krispy Kreme. Usually these Krispy Kreme donuts from this location are subpar anyway and overpriced unless you have a coupon. 10 bucks for a dozen glazed after tax?! Horrible service and I was charged incorrectly. When I tried to point out that I wasn't given a receipt for my refund, they were rude and wouldn't give one. Bad, horrible service. Not even a "thank you for your business". Nothing. Just rudeness and eye rolling. This place needs a new manager to teach their employees how to respect the customers, whose loyalty pays their wages. read more

So incredibly rude. There is no excuse for the behavior I have experienced on both of my last two visits to this location. This place needs to rethink it's staffing decisions. Is there a competition on Stage Rd for incompetence and rudeness between Popeyes and Krispy Kreme? read more

I love a hot glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut. The restaurant was clean, staff was nice, food was good. Overall it was a nice visit and we will be back. read more

Okay... I thought I would KK another chance. It's a shame this place has gotten even worse. Took 5 minutes before I was acknowledged at the order window. But was asked to hold. Had simple order of 3 original glazed and 1 chocolate with cream icing. Dude even repeated my order. I got to the window and dude had it completely ass-backwards. I corrected him, of course, but what set me off was no "thank you, have a good day, kiss my butt, nothing!" Yo, dude, common courtesy will go a long way. I will not be back... Not worth the rude attitude from workers. Understand, Marquoius? read more

I was so happy to finally have a positive experience here. I have been here plenty of times and there is always an issue but the closest KK to this one is another 30 minutes away. The managers and all the employees were on top of everything this time and it was so nice! read more

One word defines this location.....SLOW! Bring a shaving kit if you plan to use drive through.

DONUTS ADDICTS BEWARE!!!!! Horrible store.. They never never have anything advertized. like the Valentines, Reeses, Choc on Choc. I even call when they advertized the Choc on Choc to see if they had any and was told they had plenty. Loaded my grandkids and went straight there and they had none. They didn't even care. They said no one called them. I showed them the number in my phone and they could care less. The people in there are just rude and do not care. Our neighbors went for the valentines early on the 13th and they were out and then we went with them later on the same night around 8pm and they were out . When we ask "How come y'all are out twice in the same day" she replied "Not my Problem" Worse store and customer service ever... Never again... Howards, Gibsons, any other donut shop will be getting our business from now on!!!!! read more

I'm not big on giving reviews but I just went to Krispy Kreme for the first time and I am totally disgusted by the amount of donuts they throw away. I love the "fresh" aspect of their product but to have over half of the donuts go down the conveyer belt right into a huge trash bin is seriously sad. I asked the girl at the register (who was very friendly) why they were allowing so many donuts go right into the trash to the point of overflowing onto the floor and she said they only keep "perfect" donuts. Such a shame! #savethedonuts read more

Let me start off by saying that I have waited an extremely long time for a Krispy Kreme to be in the Bartlett area so it really makes me sad that this new location already has negative reviews. I've been to this location a few times and so far so good. Donuts were hot and fresh and delicious. Service was fast. Staff was friendly. They only kink, like most new restaurants, businesses, etc. was the staff was a little bit of "deer in headlights" looking overwhelmed and possibly undertrained. Hopefully those kinks will work themselves out. read more

Great customer service. Great food. Overall great experience. Kids loved the window with the view to the doughnut making process. Highly recommended. read more

I went there on a Friday morning to grab some coffee and a hot donut. Had a great experience. Friendly staff, clean seating area, cool paper hats for the kids, and a nice display of mugs, cups, and other branded items. Picked up a box of Keurig light coffee cups as well. Will definitely visit again! read more

They only make coffee and donuts. Why did I have to sit in the drive through this morning (there were only 2 cars ahead of me) for 4 donuts for almost 15 minutes before driving off because I was still sitting there???????? EXTREMELY SLOW..... not good for morning hours, etc. read more

I hear so much about this Krispy Kreme and how the lines are so long at night. Well here is the reason. I arrived at the drive in at 8:15 pm with about 5 cars in front of me. The google web site says the store closes at 10pm. I finally got up to the order menu at 8:45. I could here employees laughing and talking on the order menu speaker. When I placed the order someone said sorry they were talking. They did not acknowledge my order or say anything else even after I asked if they got my order. I finally moved up to the pick up window after about 10 minutes of no response once the car in front left with their order. We sat at the window for another 10 minutes with no one coming to the window to help us. I tried to call the store from my phone and no one answered. I finally decided to leave with no order and a complete waste of my time. I also noticed when leaving there were employees still in the store standing around. I will never go to a Krispy Kreme again. The reason why lines are long is not because they are serving customers but because they are losing customers that they did not know they could have. I sure hope the owner of this store opens his eyes and looks into management and employees and make changes if he wants to stay in business. This is zero stars. read more

Slow and poor customer service. Got a free cup of coffee for National Coffee week. It reeked of being in the pot all day. Guess this is how they thank their paying customers. Also, female with long stringy braids swings hair around donuts and is handling money at the window. Female manager on site didn't seem too concerned with worker's hair not in a bun/hairnet even while preparing food for customers. read more

Bad service. The worker name Erika was very rude, loud and disrespectful in front of me and my family . Wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this location. Bathrooms are totally a mess wouldn't want my worst enemy to sit on those toilets. read more

Good service Cedric and Kayla give exceptional service! Good look you guys! Love this location
