a pickup truck parked in front of a krispy kreme store
John M.

What's not to love about Krispy Kreme? It is a long-established brand and their donuts are definitely a great option when you are craving something sweet. Krispy Kreme got its start back on July 13, 1937 in Charlotte, North Carolina and has since grown into a global empire with over one thousand four hundred locations. That in itself is quite the success story, but it is even more impressive that they still have a quality product. This particular Krispy Kreme location is in Gainesville, Florida and I am confident that a good percentage of their customer base is either the students or faculty of the University of Florida, also known as UF. The staff here was friendly and professional and only enhanced my overall experience at this particular location of Krispy Kreme. The place has a cool enough ambiance, pretty much what you wouod expect from a Krispy Kreme. I would definitely recommend this particular location of Krispy Kreme.

Classic Assorted Dozen

Salutations. I visited the Gainesville 13th Street Krispy Kreme Doughnuts on February 21st at approximately 10:00pm. They were out of the custard AND kreme filled doughnuts. WHAT!!! WHAT!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!! DISGRACE. I took 4 Advanced Engineering exams today and crashed my car into a ditch trying not to hit a raccoon on the way to my exams and all I could think about was the perfect sweet goodness of a chocolate frosted frosting-filled Krispy Kreme doughnut. And imagine my surprise and despair when I arrive and all they have are regular kind, sprinkle kind, popcorn, and blue raspberry??? Brotha???? I am not mad, I'm just disappointed. And imagine my further shock when I am confronted with a 16.99 bill for a DOZEN doughnuts!!! What is wrong with this country??? Boe Jiden you owe me 7.99.

Everybody loves krispy kreme!!! This location is an icon within the city of Gainesville. Nestled among towering new apartment buildings and the University of florida. Whether you're here for a college game or just passing through. This is a must stop when you're in gainesville. When hot and fresh sign comes on, people flock to get their donuts. I'm not sure how they do it, but they keep the line moving in here. The assembly line making of the donuts in the back , you can see through the windows and the people taking the orders or making the coffee up front ,work diligently to get people in and out.

Elf doughnuts in reality when they don't have all the parts

Located just outside the UF campus behind The Standard, this Krispy Kreme is usually a good chance to find the hot and now sign lit and ready. Wanted to get some of the Elf advertised doughnuts before the holidays ran out, but I guess the elements to the doughnuts ran out before my trip. They did the best they could with what they had, but it definitely didn't have that Elf feel as advertised.

All the best standards

I've been going to this place honestly for over 40 years. I love that they've kept the original building and everything as the city has changed around it. One of the few old mainstays in this part of town. I really like high end pastries and coffee, but the world will always need a straightforward coffee and doughnut shop. Never change!

I put the Kreme in Krispy Kreme

Sometimes my fake tan can look a bit Krispy and can require Kreme, but never as Krispy and Kremey as the donuts here. Way down in Gainesville Florida you'll find this great college area donut shop which can give you a lot of delight, especially if you're a college student looking for some crazy sweet snacks, and I have to admit they're pretty amazing when they're hot. This location is great for that because they're often hot here. You can often find them hot in the middle of the night here which is more than you can say for a lot of the Krispy Kreme locations.

Variety donuts

The red light was on! How can we not stop? It is almost a crime not to stop. As we walk in, there are many customers with their eyes almost as glazed as the donuts while trying to pick their favorite. My husband gets a selection of filled, drizzled, decorated and chocolate covered. My son gets the sprinkled and I get the original glazed. I go for the minis to try to justify the calories but who am I kidding? I plan to eat one when I get home with a cup of coffee but the smell in the car is too much to take and I grab one. Just one. It melts in my mouth like cotton candy. It is sweet, yeasty and delectably delicious. YUM.

Nostalgia

Where else do you find a bit of nostalgia other than in an old fashion donut shop! We that will be only at an original Krispy Kreme! Where you know they are always fresh donuts when their neon light is flashing. A last night treat when you need that sugar or caffeine fix. Remember, this place is old so don't expect updates or spotless establishments but the sugar glazed donut is why you are here. Image a freshly sugar glazed donuts that just came from the gooey melted sugar conveyor belt. It is decadent. Piping hot, sticky and melts in your mouth. You got to be a fan of the "donut shop" to appreciate its appeal to this new and upcoming side of Gainesville. Cheers

Krispy Kreme is always better when the hot sign is on. To be honest, it's still good when it's not but if given the choice, I would risk sticky fingers and a warm donut over a stale one. I'm a classic is best person. Today I went for the deal. My hubs can't do chocolate so my Halloween dozen was just spooky iced. I think there's plenty of better donuts out there (Shout out to Halo Donuts for the best local donut around) but KK is still better than Dunkins frozen garbage any day of the week!

My boyfriend and I went to our local Krispy Kreme to get a late night snack. Our experience there was extremely inappropriate and unwarranted. My boyfriend was being friendly with the lady at the register and wishing her to have a good shift despite it being busy. The entire time the lady looked under the influence and barely talked to us. we wouldn't have thought much of it but when we were leaving we got yelled at and accused of stealing milks?! They said they have cameras and to return the milk. We emptied our pockets and showed we did not steal the milk . They humiliated us in front of a full crowd of people, without any justification. they did not apologize for their actions and were extremely unprofessional. I don't feel comfortable going to this location.

The shop is open 24 hours a day.

What time is the hot doughnuts light usually on?

When the hot doughnuts are ready & out for sale. Pretty sure they make them when they start to get low.

This place has a really fun variety of pastries from different countries, which is a unique layout!…read moreI got here around 10am and they still had a decent selection left, though you could tell there had been a lot more earlier in the morning. I went with a lingonberry custard pastry (I forgot what the actual name was) and it was absolutely delicious! The tart lingonberries, creamy custard, flaky pastry, and sweet glaze all complemented each other so well. I do wish there was a lot more filling and that it was more evenly distributed, as I only got a few bites with the filling and the rest were just plain pastry with glaze (still yummy though). The service was very quick and the people behind the counter were helpful and friendly.

We got to Baker Baker around 8:10am on A Saturday and they were already sold out of most things,…read morewhich honestly just shows how loved they are. The lady at the front was so kind and welcoming, even though it was clear they'd had a rush (it was Easter weekend, so totally understandable that people came early and stocked up!). Everything is super reasonably priced,all items are $3, and you can get a half dozen for just $12. That's wild for the quality you're getting! They have an amazing variety: danishes, cookies, pound cakes, and more. We ended up with a vanilla glazed cinnamon bun, lemon pound cake, cinnamon danish crunch, almond cloud cookie, karma cookie, and a pecan pie bar to split with one of my close friends, and every single bite was absolutely delicious. I wish I had known there was a line forming right at 7am. I would've rolled out of bed sooner. Thankfully, they told us you can call ahead and reserve, which we might just do next time because I'm already thinking about going back. I highly recommend the danishes & vanilla cinnamon glaze glazed bun and the pecan pie bar! This place is one of those spots you'll want to visit again and again, just get there early or call ahead to snag the goods!
