There is black mold on the conveyor section where the donuts come off the line just after the grease and also behind the front counter there's boxes of donuts with black mold and water just sitting there.

Fast friendly service, fresh donuts and always delicious. Cute Easter designs. Always clean and cute inside. Love Krispy Kreme always

Came for some QUICK donuts dots. Took about 10 minutes for us to be attended through drive thru. Terrible custom service and never responded when needed help. About another 10 minutes were took off my time because of the lack of knowledge in their job. Took my cash and did not change gloves to get my donuts. read more

I'm never one to take the time and leave a review but this one did me in. I'm confident this particular store makes its competitors shine. Fooled me once, Shame on you. There won't be a second time. Poor service, received donuts that I'm sure came out of a fridge, doors were not open well after opening time, employees in parking lot blaring music, and a donut store out of glazed donuts....? Where is the regional manager at! read more

I came through the drive thru today and ordered a 3 pack of glazed donuts. The curb appeal of the building is not great- bumpy parking lots, weeds all over, and tree branches hit your car in the drive thru loop. The service however was quick and efficient. The donuts tasted like the KK usual: good! I do enjoy having their app and getting rewards and points. Overall, not my favorite location, but gets the job done. read more

Krispy Kreme - 3 pack glazed donuts - Donuts Near Me - Clive, Iowa

I got there at 8pm and they closed at 9pm and all the door was closed when I got to the driver through they were rude as fuck and the doughnut was bad read more

Went on a Sunday at 9am (not opening hrs). They were not ready to open. Donuts were coming off the roller but no glaze icing, although took payment for those in line, then locked us in so more customers could come in. After 30 mins, they had to make the glaze. Once the glaze machine started, water came out and ruined the first 50-75ish donuts. The manager onsite tried them and said to serve them!! They boxed up soggy donuts and gave them to us. They get a 1 star because while annoying, it was kinda funny...you can't make this shit up! read more

I drove down to Des Moines specifically for Krispy Kreme. Was it worth the drive? Yes and No. Donuts are amazing warm, be sure to check the hot hours, usually first thing in the morning or the dinner rush. I did take a box home and warmed them up. So yes, worth it. Docking a star because I went for the July 4th box and they did not have it. read more

Krispy Kreme - 2 boxes of glazed - Donuts Near Me - Clive, Iowa

Run ... don't walk away from this place FILTHy bathrooms, rude service , lack of inventory of donuts (originals) staff is overwhelmed and overworked and it shows. RUN down the street for more options read more

These days with covid-19 I always try to use the drive-thru when I can. I will say it looks like the safety procedures are being followed the staff are masked and have gloves so that's good news. the donuts as always are really good I love the original glazed and I really enjoy the chocolate glazed as well. I think if you ever want to be a hero in your family you could always get a dozen of these to go and bring them home for a wonderful treat. It's the only crispy cream I know of around for many miles and they have a great product. It's always good to support a local business that's trying to keep us safe and still provide good stuff. read more

Krispy Kreme - a krispy kreme restaurant - Donuts Near Me - Clive, Iowa

I've been going here for several years now. I normally stop in on weekends to grab some stuff for the daughter and I. Over the last several months I've limited my trips here as things were not what they use to be. The lobby hasn't been open for quite sometime, always short on donuts and time doesn't change I can go in early or mid morning and still don't have what I want. I've even had a few times that the donuts weren't that great. Drive thru service is normally really slow. Pull up to speaker and they say they will be with you shortly. I really don't like leaving bad reviews but after several bad trips I thought y'all should know. read more

It's very clean, organized, and well maintained store. To be frank donuts are not something I would commonly get my myself... I'm more a savory food person, and donuts are way too sweet for me. But I guess it's because I haven't experienced the best of donuts yet! I still don't really like regular donuts, but the ones that just made from the machine, the donuts that JUST got coated with sugar 5 seconds ago.. is AMAZING. It's still warm, the top sugar layer is still not sticking to the donuts due to the heat.. THAT IS SO GOOD. It's not as sweet due the the sugar frosting is kinda melted away or is crumbled and falling down while you eat the donuts so you can taste the dough flavor way more than just sugar. I LOVED IT! Didn't know it could be this good and also didn't know you can request for the ones that just made from the machine! I like the store and I saw many people were there ordering the freshly made donuts (they know whats uppp) which you can tell it's a pretty darm popular place to be! lol Not sure I'll go there more often (rarely once a year for me), but I will sure take the opportunity if someone ask me to go there! Or if you are a donut fan, well no excuse for you! read more

This is the only Krispie around for miles. The few times I've been it's always clean and courteous. The donuts were rolling off the conveyor belt this morning when I came in around 10. Today's big this was the chocolate chocolate glazed donuts. They had hot fresh ones and then I found a coupon for a free dozen of the original glazed too. There was about seven people working behind the counter making donuts. The line was not long, it moved quickly. I bet earlier in the morning was crazy with the first Friday of the month promotions. They are busy enough that the donut cases ate empty after a short time in the mornings. The smell in there is intoxicating and you could stand and watch donuts being made for awhile if you wanted. read more

Love the donuts when they are fresh off the conveyor belt. If you get the app there is a notification when the are being freshly made. Get coupons in the mail, ValuPak, and in the app for some awesome bogo deals. Usually in and out within minutes. They do have a drive thru. read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Clive, Iowa

Every time I've tried to come here in the last 2 years they have a sign saying their lobby is closed because a part broke overnight. The doughnuts aren't all that fresh and the wait time in their drive window is crazy. read more

What a dump! The lobby is closed. I shudder to think what's going on in there. There is garbage strewn everywhere outside. I was going to try the drive-through, but decided against it. Very disturbing place. read more

I am a big fan of Krispy Kreme donuts, but not the biggest fan of this location. The sitting areas were pretty dirty when I went with a group of friends. The floors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in a while, and the bathrooms were pretty gross. So, overall the cleanliness of this place was not great. The employees were there but did not seem to care too much about helping. They were more distracted by other things. It seemed that all the employees I saw were teenagers, so I'm not sure where the manager was? The donuts were very good, and hold to the Krispy Kreme standard, so I recommend the donuts, but I'm not a supporter of the environment that they are in. read more

Oh Krispy Kreme the stories I could tell about you... 1. I was a fully fledged adult before I had the privilege of tasting one of your donuts for the very first time ever, and it just so happened to be at this very location, March 2017. 2. While browsing cars on the lot at a dealership, with the kids left eating Krispy Kreme donuts in the car, rather than step outside the car to come tell someone she needed to go, my kid resorted to taking a poop into a Krispy Kreme box while.in.the.car. Thanks for the box! 3. We have knitted hats with knit donuts circling the top...my kids like to wear theirs everywhere, but especially when we come to get donuts here. Watch for the kids with donuts their heads, thems are mine! 4. Employees are always friendly. Always. 5. Donuts are always fresh, always good. Always. 6. Lemon or raspberry filled, sour cream cake, plain glazed...these are my favorites. The plain glazed are dangerous though...I could legit eat three of them in visit and not bat an eye. Krispy Kreme brings out my inner Homer for sure. read more

I LOVE those lemon filled doughnuts! They are the best! I went in to get one and came out with a half dozen. :o) There must have been a promotion going that the person in front of me got a dozen glazed doughnuts, he didn't want them. Another customer said she would take them. The lady told her she couldn't do that, the customer had to give them to her. I think that statement was fine, until she repeated it 5 times. I think we all got it the first time. That particular policy must get tricky since she seemed like she had to reiterate it numerous times, even though no one said anything negative. She got the doughnuts. I got six delicious lemon filled delights. Service was good other than repeating herself. Very polite and courteous, efficient. read more

Updating my review because of a better experience. The big kid wanted Kristy Kreme for his birthday. We both settled for the plain lightly glazed donuts that come out hot and fresh. WHAT A GAME CHANGER!!! SO THIS is why people like Krispy Kreme. Get the plain hot donuts with a cup of their hot coffee and it hits the donut craving. No one ever told me to get here so I was going for the flavored donuts. Which are NOT hot. They are cooled down from earlier in the morning and they must get more dense as they cool. The hot and fresh ones are super soft and delectable. I've never had donuts like that. I would still say the size of these donuts are so tiny. I think I can eat 6-8 all by myself. Service was good. Polite and quick. read more

Their doughnuts are old and cold as ice on Sunday morning, and their selection is terrible. Only about half the display case was available, nothing creme filled. Our house is finished with Krispy Kreme. We can find the same or better somewhere else for less cost. read more

Lobby closed still reduced hours only open until 2pm no original donuts no raspberry what's the point. You are a donut shop you do one thing and you can't even do that. I've made 6 trips to your store in the last 3 months 1st time you were closed by 2:30 pm, 2nd you were out of most donuts, 3rd closed before 2pm, 4th I successfully purchased donuts, 5th out of original donuts and this time again out of donuts by 10am. read more

Worst Krispy Kreme in the Des Moines area. The lobby is never open even though there are usually 4 to 5 employees working inside. They never have a variety of donuts to choose from, but you don't know that until you are able to order and then you are stuck in the drive thru line if you do not wish to order anything. read more

Inconsistent as far as quality; sometimes the doughnuts are small and hard like someone cant operate the machine correctly. Never a huge variety and they hardly ever seem to be open since the pandemic. Would be nice to have more varieties available and if they kept consistent hours. read more

Doughnuts are usually hot and fresh, and the line typically moves fast. The regular glazed are usually the freshest. The staff is always friendly. read more

An absolute awful online order system, and for my first time?? I expected much more from Krispy Kreme. I placed an online order the day before due to the many boxes of donuts I was going to need for my godsons baptism. I drive an hour to one of your locations just to be told you didn't have the donuts I ordered and you had sold out. I even asked if you could make more and I got a NO!! How are you going to sell out of your donuts and not put any aside for online orders that had already been paid and placed the previous night??? Seems like a scam to me. Then when I tell them I would just like a refund because I want to go somewhere else to order donuts the store manager is off and somebody from corporate to fill in doesn't have authority or access to do so??? What are you doing??? Obviously not thinking. Poor service... which is sad because the donuts are good. read more

I made an online order for a pickup. When I arrived the lobby was closed, so I used the drive-up. They didn't have the order ready, said they weren't getting their online orders, and no one apologized. Told me to wait up front, kept my cell phone so they could see my order from my emailed receipt, and had me wait 30 minutes to get it. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

Doughnuts are delicious as always, but the service this morning was unfavorable to say the least. The woman getting our food and coffee was in such a rush to get us through, although there was nobody behind us. We couldn't even pick all the things we wanted. She questioned our choices when we said clearly what we wanted. She must have been in a bad mood because it was definitely projected onto us and the others we came with. The whole ambiance in the store was uncomfortable. Receipt says "Host- Tiffaney" read more

Extremely poor service 3/17 /2023 at 4;30. I have been waiting in drive through line for 30 minutes- ridiculous. I can't move or I would leave. If you can't fill the order have person pull through. They said they were out of donuts but have handed at least 6 boxes to person blocking line. read more

Krispy Kreme has some of the freshest donuts in WDM. But, I would suggest that they turn off the online ordering for pick-up if they know that the drive-through is the only thing open. If you schedule a pick-up, then have to wait in line for 20 minutes in the drive-through, it kind of defeats the point. I've had to cancel 2 orders because of this and every time I arrive, I see multiple other vehicles leave in frustration. Its a time suck, multiplied over 100's of visitors is just wrong. read more

The Clive location had there lobby closed in the afternoon so we had to go through the drive thru. We wanted to order a dozen original glazed and choose a dozen assorted donuts. However, each time we asked for a donut to add to our "assorted" we were informed they were out. So, in a spirit of simplicity, I said, "just give us an assorted dozen." After we pulled away, I opened our two boxes. In one, a dozen glazed. In the other box, eight glazed and two chocolate filled and two strawberry glazed. Is that a dozen assorted? If they only had four total donuts left other than the originals then tell me. Otherwise, it just seems spiteful. I will never shop at Krispy Kreme again. read more

I have been to many different Krispy Kremes in many different states and I must say, this one was the best. I was craving something sweet so I decided to come here for the best donuts. It was an hour till closing and the employee Ben treated us so well. He treated us with so much respect and answered all of our questions. Having staff like him is what brings loyal costumers back. We decided to get a dozen assorted donuts. We got the boston cream, blueberry cake, glazed, and chocolate cake donuts. I must say, krispy kreme glazed is the best thing to get for sure. You can warm it up at home in a microwave for a few seconds. Great donuts and great customer service! read more

Apparently I need to apologize to these people for disrupting their morning routine by trying to purchase some donuts and coffee. If you don't want to sell donuts and coffee to the general public, then close your drive through window. The employees were rude, and I had to go in to get my order corrected. There are others places to buy donuts in Des Moines, and this place is now crossed off of my list. read more

Krispy Kreme has honestly disappointed me one to many times today. I called to make sure I could secure the availability of a dozen glazed for 3, the man that answered the phone didn't even sound like he knew what a donut was. I arrived at 3 and the store was closed the employees inside all started glaring at me and waving their hands. It would have been fine if the last time I went they had more than 4 donuts and it was only 11am. I am disappointed with the way the company is running. read more

Who doesn't love Krispy Kreme?! When I was a kid, they had a location in Cedar Rapids. We always stopped when the sign was on that doesn't were being made--hot and fresh. We were devastated when it closed. Since then, it was only when I could find one on random trips: a quick stop at one in Florida, one in Lincoln. You get the idea. But now I'm happy to announce I'm living in a city that has a Krispy Kreme again! I'm a pretty plain-Jane girl when it comes to donuts, and those glazed ones are perfect for me. I don't need anything fancy! I'm so excited to have a Krispy Kreme's in town again, and I cannot wait to visit again soon (and send more pictures of donuts to my family to make them jealous)! read more

I'm one of those crazy Minnesotans that loves Krispy Kreme so much I'm willing to drive almost 5 hours to Iowa to get some! I love this location because it's the closest to my house and the service is always wonderful! I've been here multiple times and each time the employees are friendly and are willing to pack my 5+ dozen doughnuts with a smile on their face! I love their caramel iced lattes with the original glazed doughnuts. It's never been super busy and even when there's a bunch of people there the service is always fast and rewarding (yay doughnuts!). read more

I went to a Krispy Kreme when I was a kid, and I never felt such joy when eating something. Once I learned that I had one near me I go there every week, and in my opinion it still holds up as the best donut place ever. read more

Yes I drive from Minneapolis Minnesota down to Iowa for my fix, yes I am a feen when it comes to Krispy Kreme, SO WHAT! :-) I will not be speaking about my road trip experiences ( FRIKIN FUN BTW) or how much gas I spend ( I drive a Honda Pilot, not so bad on gas) because no one wants to hear that anyways. Just want to start by saying, if you want a bomb a** donut or donuts you need to come at 5:30 am ( yes, I park my Honda Pilot on this mini parking lot till I see an employee unlock them glory doors), not saying if you come after that time your donuts won't be bomb but just saying 5:30 AM!!! As everyone knows at this point I come down at 5:30 AM every time and my experience here has been by far well worth the 4-hour drive. You can smell their glaze donuts out in the parking lot, and as you watch how the donuts are made from outside their windows that's when you start to feel that feen twitch and you can feel your insulin levels rise! WITHOUT EVEN EATING THE DANG DONUTS YET! well, this is my experience. I always get the classic glazed donut, it is an unspoken rule. When you go to Krispy Kreme you better purchase an Original Glazed Doughnut, and then get whatever you want after that! or else why even go, you lame. I am all into them filled donuts so of course, I have to cop me some, Glazed Raspberry Fill, Chocolate Iced Raspberry Fill, New York Cheesecake, Dulce De Leche and finally the Glazed With Kreme Filling. I need me a drink so I get the Limonade Chiller and depending on how I am feeling I will leave with a Strawberry Chiller. I am not a coffee person so I have no idea what that whole area of experience is like. My experience though is the best way to get diabetes. No, I don't have diabetes but you get what I am saying. Just go so you can experience this. FYI I have never seen such a clean bakery joint. One thing I have learned when it comes to restaurants or food joints is to check the bathrooms! If the bathrooms are nasty, gross or questionable just leave, their kitchen is probably worse. Well, their bathrooms from my experience pass my clean test. The employees some of them were eye candy so that was an experience by itself :-) just saying read more
