I'm not a huge fan of Krispy Kreme donuts as I find the majority quite sickly but the Halloween range was very easy on the eye! A colleague brought a couple of boxes in as a treat for the office last week, I went for the spooky sprinkles donut which was basically a glazed ring with sprinkles on top. It was the perfect mid afternoon snack, washed down with a hot cup of tea. I prefer the glazed rings over the stuffed donuts as I find them way too stodgy and always end up feeling sick after. I have bought a couple of boxes from this store myself, usually as a gift for someone that's obsessed with them (as many are) and the shop itself is lovely. I've always found the staff to be very helpful. They do an ok coffee in store too. read more

Krispy Kreme - Spooky donuts - Donuts Near Me - Manchester, XGM

What can I say?! Possibly the best sweet treat on earth! Krispie Krème Doughnuts are some kind of food from the gods. This shop is so close to my work it's just unfair. Every time it's someone's birthday, someone has a baby, someone leaves, someone starts a huge box of doughnuts appears on the left side of our office. If you have no willpower or self discipline you are bound for morbid obesity. I cannot give five stars because there is probably the recommended daily calorie intake in half a doughnut but I give four stars because they are just too damn good. read more

I popped in here to buy a load of doughnuts - and by load I mean a shed load/butt load/truck load for a party we were doing (60 doughnuts...)! In fact at first the manager at the store didn't want to sell me so many in case they ran out - I was like "what's the problem man - you've got a guaranteed sale here..." and when I found out I got a free tray if I ordered 5 trays I was even more insistent that he through in the extra load! If you haven't had KK's they're pretty awesome - all sorts of flavours and so so tasty - basically the funkier the colour, the better the taste - pink glaze was beyond awesome! I don't think they're too bad value either - it worked out about £1 a dough which was good enough for me - if you're in the need for a treat or some rapid weight gain, get here! read more

It's good doughnuts! I don't eat too much sugar but if I want a doughnut, this is the one I will have. All of them are very tasty. My personal favourite is the Original Glazed and Cookie Crunch. It's also a great gift idea. The assorted dozen and the double dozen are perfect for any occasion. read more

What's not to like about this place! I can't get enough of these doughnuts. I have had a dozen to myself before now. Nom nom nom! Pop in and get your loved one a special Valentines 'love bug hug' edition doughnut. I'm not sure if I can resist until tomorrow and might have to eat this already. Another visit this evening might be required so I can stock up on these jam filled glazed delights :) read more

Back at the Double K today, propelled by a powerful craving for some sugary loving. The smiling staff supplied me with three glorious treasures on a tray: the Original Glazed, Chocolate Iced Kreme Glazed, and Chocolate Iced Custard Filled. The next several minutes were a blur. I'm pretty sure my heard stopped at some point... next time I'll bring a crash cart. read more

They have Krispy Kreme here! Ah, I am never leaving! The softest, doughiest, inventive doughnuts you can find. I had my first Krispy Kreme in Florida years back and was sad to see that Dublin hadn't jumped on the bandwagon. This little shop is just behind the tram stop and is very clean and modern looking. I got a selection of doughnuts including the mango and passionfruit one which is filled with a flavoured cream and glazed pink on top. Their standard maple and chocolate glazed ring doughnuts are great too. Will be back again for a coffee and doughnut pretty soon! read more

Ahhh...Krispy Kreme, how you tempt me so. With your delicious range of doughnuts, all so beautifully tasty!!! Yes, I know it's bad for me. But look at it! Look at it!! They're fantastically delicious. Okay, I can safely say that I'm no big person on healthy food. Which probably explains why I never reach my New Years Resolution of "Loose Weight" I would try, but food is too good.Krispy Kreme is yet another American franchise that has branched to the UK, and more than likely Europe. Selling a variety of sugary goodness. Perfect for when you're in the mood to fatten up, and especially perfect to buy if you're feeding your office for your birthday. However, you won't be leaving with any change in your pocket. I guess supporting a sugar addiction isn't as easy as it use to be. But god it's worth it. If you get the chance, just pop in if you're waiting for the Met at the soon to be removed Mosley street station. read more

Whenever I think of yankee style specialities, I firstly think of a place in the back streets of Los Angeles that served me (even now) *the* best cheeseburger I've ever had in my life. Damn, the memories even now make my tastebuds wanna buy a plane ticket to go back again. But I digress.... My first ever Krispy Kreme donut was had in Santa Monica, CA, about 5 years ago. I'm not even sure if, in those days, that they had travelled across the pond to the UK. Much like most folks will tell you, the content and style of these doughys are a cut above what you'd get from your local bakery. The lemon ones are particularly zingy and as for the creme brulee ones...mmmmhhhh. Currently (May 2011) a box o' 12 will set you back about £9.45p, a little pricey for some but if you have the dosh and want to treat yourself then why not go for it!!. read more

I always get excitable around the prospect of readily available American confectionary in the UK. I always feel like we're missing out somehow, it's unfair, they get their sugar fill in spades and we seem to get stuck with the bog standards, meh Cadbury, meh Galaxy, but when someone plonks a Krispy Kreme on your doorstep oooh colour me giddy. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet tasty donuts and donut varieties. Beautiful and tasty. I've never really been too enamoured with donuts, but I have a mate that's an addict, so on a stop home, I stopped by, picked up a dozen, a variety pack, custard filled, creme filled, glazed, chocolate, sprinkled, lovely, boxed up they were, cheery pleasant conversation with the staff, and I spent the journey home just sniffing the goods. When I handed the box over, good friend offered me a donut, and one of the creme ones just spoke to me, so in I plunged, and YUM! Lovely! Donut convert! Got through one and a half before wanting to be sick...eyes bigger than belly syndrome! But Lovely Jubbly!! read more

oh my sweet sweet lord have you tried these donuts?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why am i even wasting time typing when i could be using my hands to put more krispy creme donuts in my mouth? screw you guys i've got a date with a caramel dreamcake! read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - Manchester, XGM

Fancy a doughnut? I always fancy something sweet like this. I don't really like chocolate or sweeties like that so I need something not extremely sweet, but really creamy and good. So? This lovely place has the answers to my questions. I went in there and I bought twenty mini doughnuts. Have you seen them? They look lovely. And they are very easy to eat. One bite, and it's all gone. They have a variety is well. Chocolate, plain, strawberry, all you can think of. And the staff is lovely. Have you noticed? They all smile. I'm not sure if is the sugar rush or they are paid extra to smile but no matter what the thing is, makes me happy to come back and buy more doughnuts. I wish Manchester will be like America when it comes to Krispy Kreme and they will do the delivery thing. P.S I really want a delicious doughnut from them. read more

Krispy Kremes are this good: I didn't used to like Doughnut's have now been converted! However, they're not really doughnuts, they're more like cakes really...mmmmm cake...mmm. My favourite one has to be the caramel dream cake, amazing. They are expensive and they are fattening, but I don't care. Perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea. Yum. read more

One time I came here, bought a dozen donuts for my friend's birthday. A few of them were a bit stale, so I wrote to Krispy Kreme and complained. They sent me a voucher for a free dozen. That kinda sums up Krispy Kreme for me: great customer service all round. As well as great customer service, you get great donuts. My favourite is the one with custard in. It's nom-a-licious, and splodgy. Surrrre, it's expensive here, but the feeling you get when you walk in to a room with a box of KK's and everyone goes "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" and "we LOVE you!" is worth it. read more

Krispy Kreme is one of the guilty pleasures which torments my life whenever I am remotely in the vicinity of the Piccadilly bus precinct. It really does. All I need to do, is walk past the door, receive a smile from one of the staff, and all aspects of self control crumble and I give in. There is something about the Krispy Kreme doughnut which makes it perfect. Whether it is the glaze, the filling, or the moist dough - or more likely a combination of the three - I am not entirely sure. All I am sure of is that they are wonderful. Nosh, nosh, nosh. This particular Krispy Kreme branch is a fantastic stopping place. Light, airy and very clean, it is like stepping straight into small town 1950's America. The central location makes it very accessible to shoppers and business types alike. The staff are warm and friendly, and will happily try and accommodate any unusual requests. Sadly, the KK Doughnut is not exactly cheap, but once in a while, it is really very nice to stop in, grab a coffee and indulge yourself! read more

I was so happy when Krispy Kreme opened a cafe in Manchester. Living in London I happily pop into Harrods for a couple or go to the drive through and watch them being made on the huge conveyor. So now wherever I am, I can get to a Krispy Kreme doughnut. Definition of a good life. This store is perfectly situated for a last minute purchase before getting the bus back from town. The Halloween specials were particularly fun although incredibly rich and almost (but not quite) too much. My favourites are the original glazed - a sweet, slightly hardened outside with a soft doughnut in the middle - or the doughnuts with chocolate in the middle, chocolate on the top and covered with sprinkles. WOW. Mind you, I and most people can only stomach one of these bad boys before feeling a trifle ill so be careful.. Krispy Kreme is one of those places where your eyes are bigger than your stomach. You literally want everything and are prepared to pay the slightly too expensive prices to get them. Pop in for a dozen and leave with 24. Just go for it. Oh and as nice as they are cold from the fridge, try heating them for a bit in the mic. Especially if they have filling in the middle. read more

This was the American import I was most looking forward to. Sure, we Limeys can do donuts, although we do refer to them as 'doughnuts' in practically an anti-abbreviation protest and there's something quintessentially British about the way we create them. We cover them in granulated sugar that sticks to our fingers and our faces, and we fill them with jam, that most English of preserve. Or we squeeze them full of a variety of other fruit fillings, or just to really hammer those stereotypes home, custard. Don't get me wrong. Those are all great, and I've been known to outdo my own Britishness by enjoying all of the above with a large cup of tea. But if there's one thing that fascinates me about that country across the pond, it's their uncanny ability with all things sweet. Waffles, pancakes, the joy that is maple syrup (I spend almost a fiver on the genuine article over here... how is this fair?), cupcakes, muffins, brownies, you Yanks are experts. And in the art of the humble donut (doughnut, or as we Brits would probably ultimately prefer to say, a small nut-ball of fluffy sweet dough), you're veritable legends. And in most supermarkets ours come in bags. Krispy Kreme's come in large boxes, like pizza. Fantabulous. When this here Krispy Kreme opened on Mosley Street, I was pleased as punch. The only one I'd ever spotted before was a bizarre standalone spot right bang smack in the middle of Asda's car park near the Trafford Centre. Somehow it never seemed quite right, it was far too inconvenient and somehow I was never in the mood for donuts after a stressful grocery shop. This one is in the perfect location, just behind Piccadilly Gardens. Close to offices for that mid-afternoon slump, Manchester's shopping Mecca for that much-needed sugar rush, restaurants for an 'on second thoughts' desert. And boy, did Krispy Kreme know what they were doing in their recruitment process. We met the smiliest of friendliest baristas, a woman who could sell ice to Eskimos. She somehow talked myself and my mother into buying twelve donuts. What the frick would we do with them? Yes, they might have only been 80p more expensive than six, but goodness, that's enough to send a diabetic into a fear-induced coma. Needless to say, Super Saleswoman had an answer for everything. They freeze well. They taste great the next day. Give some to your friends. Share them around your band. As we left, my mum muttered to me, 'If I was starting a business, any business, I'd employ her in a heartbeat.' She was indeed just perfect. I hope she's still there, I'd love to have got her name. She's probably been promoted eleventy-twelve times over now and could be CEO for all I know. But the trick with Krispy Kremes is the variety. Not just any bagadonuts, oh no. These could be cakes in their own right, with blueberry fillings, toppings of chocolate shavings, apple and cinnamon flavourings, oh my, it's just too tempting. You will, however, find yourself constantly returning to the traditional and simple glazed ring option or the Crullers, as these are by far the most tasty. Sometimes, less is more. America, you gave us great sitcoms, you pretty much dominate my DVD box sets, your ice cream is designed for people who reeeeally love ice cream and from what I can tell all your junk food is actually worth piling on the pounds for. And now you bring us Krispy Kreme. Anything negative is forgiven, as you have provided us with the most delightful of donuts. Just marry us already like Tony Blair always wanted. read more

Signed up for the Krispy Kreme app, which promises a free donut on subscription. Went to store to claim donut later on in the month. Was told that I could not have a free donut and accused of having already redeemed it. I had not. Never returning to Krispy Kreme, and uninstalling the app. read more
