    Outside at night. Storefront and drive-thru.

    We had a good experience at this Krispy Kreme. It's the only one in Raleigh, which I found kind of surprising since North Carolina is Krispy Kreme's home state. There are five Krispy Kreme stores in the Triangle. I grew up close to the one in High Point: https://www.yelp.com/biz/krispy-kreme-high-point-2 At this location, we picked up an Assorted 3 Pack for $5.79 ($6.27 after tax). We got two Original Glazed Doughnuts and one Chocolate Iced Custard Filled Doughnut. As always, regardless of location (in my experience), the doughnuts were delicious. You can't go wrong with a classic Original Glazed, in my opinion. At the right temperature, they melt in your mouth. And they're yummy at room temp too. As for the Chocolate Iced Custard Filled Doughnut, I enjoyed it. I think I prefer the version with "Kreme" Filling because the Kreme has a lighter, fluffier consistency than the custard, but both are tasty. At the time of our visit, a dozen Original Glazed were priced at $14.49 ($1.21 each), Assorted $16.49 ($1.37 each), and Specialty $18.49 ($1.54 each). 3 Pack Original Glazed was $5.29. They also offered combos (doughnuts + coffee/milk) and individual drinks like coffees and iced lattes (machine-made, $4.49 each). We visited on a Saturday night around 8pm. The store was comfortably busy with dine-in, takeout, and drive-thru orders. It wasn't crowded. Our wait was very short. Service was fine. This is an old-school Krispy Kreme with a classic, retro look, inside and out. This location opened in 1970. It's in downtown Raleigh, on the border of the Historic Oakwood neighborhood, just one block east of William Peace University (I knew it as Peace College). Like other Krispy Kreme locations, this one has clear views of the doughnut production line. I always enjoy looking at it. They also had the traditional Krispy Kreme fold-up paper hats here. The drive-thru lane and parking lot wrap around the building. There's plenty of parking.

    Pros: Hot & Fresh Donuts , fresh & friendly service! We were able to get in and out within a matter of minutes although they were pretty busy. Cons: Carbs

    I drove to the Krispy Kreme in Raleigh as the Wake Forest location was drive thru only when I bought the donuts for Discount Tire. I was planning to go inside. when I arrived there were a bunch of cars parked so I took one of the empty spots as I was getting out of the car to walk around to the door the lady working the window let me know it was drive thru only. So I appreciated that she saved me a trip around to see the note on the door. So I wanted to try the new donuts and had a coupon so I got in the drive thru lane that wrapped around the building. It moved pretty quickly considering the number of cars ahead of me. Two vehicles did get out of the line at various points. I got the banana pudding; strawberries and Kreme and the key lime donut as well as some other favorites. Customer service was very friendly from the minute I got out of my car to the minute I left the drive thru. They were very patient as well as I forgot to say how many donuts I was ordering. I will come back here the next time I am craving donuts.

    I haven't visited Krispy Kreme since relocating to Raleigh so I was in for a treat while driving through the Historical Oakwood section of downtown. My daughter insisted we pull over to get some donuts. The Drive Thru was already flooded when I pulled in and I had some time to think about my choices. There something about the thick sugar coated glaze on the original and Glazed raspberry filled donuts. My staples are the Raspberry filled and iced chocolate with rainbow sprinkles. The light was off so unfortunately I did not get to enjoy these babies warm.

    Hot and fresh!

    I've always loved Krispy Kreme; I mean they're fantastic. I stopped by to ask about party favors and the manager was so friendly and helpful. He gave me a sample of the box and doughnuts for the favor. I love how you can watch the doughnuts being made fresh and they will grab the doughnuts directly from the line. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are yummy, gooey, and perfect in every way. I only indulge every once in a while for my health, but I wish I could eat them more often.

    We stopped here purely because we drove by and noticed the old sign and there was a wait for dinner, and I'm glad we did. The strawberry sprinkles glazed donut was the perfect appetizer! So light and it had the perfect, glaze crunch. We also tried a regular glazed and chocolate frosted creme filled donut. As a Krispy Kreme newbie, I look forward to coming back. The staff were so nice and prompt too.

    I have visited this place a few times, I don't eat too much this type of treats but when in do I enjoy them. This donuts are good specially with a cup of coffee, they are sweet and delicious. Not the best ones that i ever had but it's just personal preference. Today they got a few for halloween, i got two.

The service is great and relatively quick, and everyone I've met there is kind and willing to help. The inside is a bit small, so smaller crowds are better and it does tend to get crowded later in the evening and on weekends. The outside street sitting area is nice too and hopefully will be fully fixed soon. Overall a great places to stop for drinks and desserts after a nice meal!

I didn't taste any apple flavor but it was good but really sweet. I did taste the espresso. I think for me if I had this much but with more milk or less Carmel it would have been better.

This morning, I walked in and saw not one familiar face there, and I've come to learn all the staff walked out simultaneously weeks ago. After getting to know many of the staff over the years of frequenting there, anything to make every staff member walk out at the same time has to be big enough to leave a sour taste in your mouth. Am truly sad to see such a Raleigh staple not see the value in the community their staff created. Cheers to Joe, Brennan, Brett, amber, and all of the others past a present (shout out Tim and Casey and Jackie!) for their place in our lives over all of these years!
