My sister and I went to check out Krispy Kreme on a Sunday morning in June. Beforehand. We read in SGV eats, they make donuts offsite so it is not hot in temperature. I parked on the street and waited in line to order. The long wait is that everyone in front of us ordered mix donuts by the dozen. Only 2 cashiers and rest of staff was helping people pick donuts. I ordered a cinnamon roll. It was soft not hot. The security guard limit amount of people waiting in line inside. So I seen people left after waiting in line or seen the line. FYI, best to air fry to make it warm or preorder a pick up 3stars for room temperature donuts read more

I came on 07/26/2024 and had the pleasure of being served by Teaghan. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and even recommended the crème brûlée donut! It was delicious and our experience was incredible. read more

Donuts are always nice and warm when I come in. Today the manager really made our day! We were trying to take a few boxes to school for teachers appreciation week and she let us get the promotion. The first guy told me no and I think he might have not know or just didn't want to deal with it but I'm glad the manager stepped in and happily gave it to us. This is the only location I like going to. I recommend it! customer service is good and this is one of few places where I think the manager is well trained and actually great and understand with customer. read more

Geeeez Laweeez. new spot in S. Pas. I don't crave donuts unless I got da munchies and did we get it sum'in fierce last night. Dang. Walked in 2 people inside. 3 dozen glazed and maple for 4 people please. Walked out 20 people in line. Lol. No comment. Service is Cali-smiley and efficient. Love how Krispy is Kitschy. Just insane how Krispy can fill my dinghy. No pix 'cause you been there. Tip. Next to Bristol Farms off the 110. Go already. End of Yelp. read more

Today was a trial run and they were giving out donuts by the dozen to anybody that lined up. People were walking out with 1-2 dozen donut boxes each and hoarding bottles of soft drinks since it was free for all. They were also handing out vouchers for another free dozen box donuts that's good for June 14th grand opening and another that's good for any Krispy Kreme location until the end of the year. I'm unsure if they actually make the donuts there because I didn't see the conveyor belt system and this location is really small compared to other Krispy Kreme's. Overall I'm just glad there's a Krispy Kreme in the SGV closer to me so I can grab a classic glaze when I'm craving them. read more

Service was poor at this location. Not sure if the staff was just burnt out or if they are always this depressing and impatient when you are choosing your dozen. I can handle poor service if the food is good but these donuts were not as fresh as the stores that make them in house. Coming to this KK is the same as if I bought one of their donuts from the 7/11 or Ralph's. Try the City Of Industry location. They are open 24 hrs and frying up fresh donuts compared to this shop that gets them trucked in. These donuts tasted dense and not soft and melt in your mouth like the ones that are made onsite. read more

Krispy Kreme - Usually devoured by my family within the day but they don't seem to care for the ones from this location. - Donuts Near Me - South Pasadena, California

One specific worker was rude and dishonest to us. We kindly asked if they still made drinks at 9:30pm since it's 30 min to close, he hesitates before saying "no". We sat down to continue eating our donuts when 15 min later a group of 6 comes in and orders a drink. The worker who took their order was nice and courteous, not obviously choosing to not make their drink for whatever reason. The rude worker then approaches us again letting us know that they close soon, which was fine until he told us to "wrap it up". Hope your day gets better and you learn how to do your job from the two other very kind employees who were there with you tonight. read more

Donuts are not made here. With so many amazing donut shops within 5 minutes, unless a donut emergency, why would one come here.

So excited for this closer Krispy Kreme location. There is a small parking lot but traffic was horrible on Fair Oaks and was finding it hard to turn into their driveway so I turned into a different street and just did street parking. It's smaller than other locations. You don't see the usual conveyor belt of donuts being made. They were having a deal for a dozen glazed donuts for tue price of gas at $5.01. The donuts were not warm but still delicious. I had downloaded their app and the lady helped me scan for rewards but when I checked for points it didn't seem to go thru. I tried to enter for missed points but there must be a problem with their app because it just closes on its own despite multiple attempts. Staff was friendly and line moves pretty quickly. read more

Picked up some Krispy Kreme donuts to take back to Taiwan for my mother, there are Krispy Kremes in Taiwan but my mother prefers the ones from California. It's been a long time since she's had one. I would say about 18 years. I was only glad to do this favor for her. Yum! :) I called ahead to ask the manager, I think her name is Angie, if they can put my 24 donuts in 4 six pack boxes for easy traveling, she was more than happy to do so, and she was so nice!! Love the way they treat people in south Pasadena. I'm so glad this one is so close to my house. I will for sure be coming in again. read more

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: If you have a gift card to use, DO NOT COME HERE because it will not be accepted! I wish they posted a sign on their door telling customers at the outset that they currently do not accept gift cards as a form of payment! They tell me this only after I made a huge purchase. According to the store employee there was a cyber attack earlier this month (which is worrisome to say the least- do better corporate Krispy Kreme and do not get hacked) and because of that they cannot accept gift cards as a form of payment. As such if you have Krispy Kreme gift card you want to use DO NOT COME HERE! Plus the staff here are not particularly friendly and they don't care about providing good customer service. I am never coming here again. read more

I love Krispy Kreme!! The workers were so sweet, we were holding our dog so they gave her a free pup cup which was really nice. It was also very clean in there and has a good layout. It's not too big but not too small either. It was the first time I've ever been to this location and the only reason I wouldn't come back is it's kind of far from where I live. Overall good vibes and a good experience! read more

Krispy Kreme - Unofficial employee 2023 - Donuts Near Me - South Pasadena, California

After I finished work, my wife and I decided to go get donuts at around 6:30. We were stoked about the Scooby Doo donuts, but as soon as we got there one of the employees informed us that they were sold out. I was tired from work and my wife had been feeling emotional throughout the day. In spite of our neutral approach into the store, the employee kept a smile on his face and energetically told us that we had a lot of options despite the shortage of Scooby donuts. His energy and happiness made us feel better and most importantly welcomed. We decided to buy a dozen donuts, and we loved it. In terms of cleanliness, the store looked squeaky clean and organized. No trash on the floor and doors had no visible fingerprint marks. We will definitely be returning for the Scooby Donuts. read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts Near Me - South Pasadena, California

My experience at this donut shop was much much different than these reviews. The donut. The sweat circle of goodness praised by the police and of course Homer Simpson. After consuming this highly praised sweat, I was satisfied. Even if the donut is a day old, like many complained about, it was a great donut. Mine did not taste old, it fact it seemed fresh. The workers were very helpful in informing me about all the deals. I was able to get a dozen for $1!! The ambiance is okay. It's not a place I would go and work but it open. Overall, pop in if you're in the area. read more

Krispy Kreme - Donuts - Donuts Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Went at 1pm to buy a couple dozen glazed donuts. They had zero glazed donuts and barely any assorted options. They said they wouldn't have more donuts until 2pm. There were several people behind me in line too... seems like there is a lack of management to better manage their inventory. I recommend calling before you go to make sure they even have donuts Vs going out of your way to go there and finding out they don't have anything. read more

So, the big drawl about Krispy Kreme is seeing that HOT DONUT sign lit up in the window and you know that you're getting the freshest donuts that can be, well you'll not see a Hot Donut sign in the window at this location, what gives? They DO NOT actually make the donuts here! I'm not really sure why, this place used to be the home of Mamma's Brick Oven Pizza which relocated a couple blocks away, so there is plenty of room to make donuts here so not sure what they plan was but I'd bet this location won't be around long. So WHY am I even here? It's the closest Krispy Kreme to where I live, and I wanted to see the Moon Donut, what, you say? *8/29/22 NASA was supposed to launch a Rocket to the Moon and Krispy Kreme released a Special Donut called "Artemis Moon Donut" for one day only! The Rocket launch got scratched, and I think Krispy Kreme probably should have scratched this donut.

I didn't know this location has many reviews similar to mine. "Not very friendly customer service!" I usually don't go to this location, but it's close to school. I came here 3 times in 1week,for my son's BD, his soccer team, his swim team and school classmates. First time was ok, but there were promotion so I was happy. Second time was also ok. No promotion so I signed up for reward. (1 free donut) Third day was bad! Glaze donuts ran out, both mini and regular! Very disappointed for early morning. The lady in front didn't purchase much bc no more glaze. She was offered 2 free donuts and coupon handout. I bought 3 boxes, and got 1 free donut bc of reward app. No coupons offered (I had to ask for it). Overall, no vibe, no smiles in this location! THE RIGHT MARKETING' STRATEGY CAN HELP OFFSET A LITTLE: (see receipts) Same amounts of order: 1 cost 25, the other cost 40. If the promotion can be spreading out, for example, 1 free donut for each dozen or 2 free for 2 dozens... etc, customers would still be happy if they have to buy donuts on the NON-promotion days, or giving up your email to sign up for reward. The promotion can be from time to time but less to balance the free donuts already given. Btw, I tried to send this comment to their website to help improve but no luck. It took me too many times to submit because the site would get stucked and the "next" tab doesn't work. I gave up! Then I went on Yelp to find out many ppl have the same feel about this location. read more

Krispy Kreme - Krispy Cream Receipt - Donuts Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Yep, it's a Krispy Kreme store, and if you live in the SGV, this might be the closest one to you. Unfortunately, after driving through holiday traffic to get here, it's not exactly what I had expected. First off, it's a smaller store, not like the bigger ones found in the other valley. Those stores have bigger ovens, more staff, and they're constantly churning out fresh donuts. And, as everyone knows, Krispy Kremes are best enjoyed when they're hot, semi-gooey, and just out of the oven. At this location, they have all the different varieties, including the seasonal ones, but they're sitting under a glass case. And those aren't just for show. That's the donut you're going to get. And when we got ours, it wasn't hard to tell that they had been sitting there for a good bit - enough so that we needed to pop them in the microwave for a few. They turn out OK, but they're not the same as when they're fresh. Also, this isn't a drive through spot. It's walk-in only. Lots of parking, though. read more

Thanks go to Tiffany C. for reminding me that there is a Krispy Kreme so close to our homes! I don't need to go to Burbank or Roland Heights, now that there is a South Pasadena store. I was surprised there was no drive-thru, but with plenty of parking, that should not be a problem. Located on a busy street, it's nice to have parking available. The selections are nicely displayed in the front, with a pleasant crew ready to serve you. I love that everything is so brand new and there is not a speck of dust anywhere to be seen. I will certainly be frequenting this location from now on, and hope to continue receiving my free glazed donuts on my birthday! read more

Yes there is line on opening day. No freebies at 4pm but there was a few days ago. This is the most exciting thing to happen in South Pasadena this year. Same menu as other Krispy Kreme locations.

Everyone is so spoiled, used to eating donuts hot off the assembly line that they're upset with this little storefront. Stopped by to grab some donuts for my coworkers and the employees were really sweet. The location is small but beautiful. Lots of parking however no drive thru for us lazies. Tried one to see if all the bad reviews were true but they taste fine to me, not old. If you're so mad about them being delivered from another location and not made in store, take em home and warm em up in the microwave. It's nice to have a Krispy Kreme loc closer to home. Shout out to Christine who gave us a coupon at checkout. read more

There's finally a KK near me but I did not get a donut for myself, alas I was excited to buy some for my doggo for National Dog Day 8/26. I knew from the reviews the human donuts are not made on premises, but the doggo donuts are even worse. I've been bamboozled because they are donut shaped "cookies" and package sealed. They are super HARD. When I opened it at home, I accidentally dropped one on the floor and it did not made a dent nor a crack on the cookie. My poor senior doggo only has 6 teeth so I end up giving it all away to other family members' much younger pup with full set of teeth. Not worth it a all at $15 for 6 little cookies. read more

I went here for the free dozen original glazed donuts during your birthday month. You can obtain this offer if you make an account on the krispy kreme app (sometimes it takes a day or two to register your birthday). I went in and it was super easy, just scan the promo code and immediately i got the box of glazed donuts. They're super soft just like how I remembered them. I find it to be easy if you want to park, is to park at the next plaza next to krispy kreme. A lot of parking space and its not a far walk to the store. read more

Krispy Kreme - Dozen Original glazed donuts - Donuts Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Even with a line out the door, they operated with swift efficiency, and very friendly customer service. Grand openings can be very hectic but this location did a wonderful job. They have a solid team of employees! The donuts were delicious, but that's no surprise! My favorite was the strawberry shortcake. They are all amazing so you really can't go wrong. I also love that they offer mini donuts for the more popular flavors like original, strawberry iced and chocolate iced. We usually don't get the chance to enjoy Krispy Kreme unless we see it in a Vegas hotel or are out of town, so it's a real treat to have one so conveniently close to us! read more

New-ish location that popped up in South Pasadena. I love that there is now a closer location to me, in Monterey Park. Clean store and friendly welcome as soon as you walk inside. I came around lunch time during the week with my Dad to pick up some donuts for a friend. I asked for a box of the mini assorted donuts and my Dad and I picked out a couple of extra regular donuts for ourselves. Donuts here were fresh, soft, and fully stocked. Service was good but I only wish that I was able to pick out my assorted mini donuts for myself since I wanted specific flavors; I was given a standard, already-packed boxed and had to ask the worker what options were inside the box. I didn't want to be a bother and request for different flavors so I just settled on the one that I was given and hoped that my friend's family was okay with what was selected. read more

My girlfriend and I came here last year for the scooby doo donuts and it was great. This year we came but it was absolutley awful. The donuts were awful and the seasonal coffee was disgusting.

New arrival to South Pasadena is Krispy Kreme. If you want a fresh donut, that is a little too sweet for me, look no further than Krispy Kreme. The location itself was spotless inside on the day I visited. The only issues here is the limited parking, and the drive thru will back up into the street. The cake donuts here are my go to since they are no overly sweet. Welcome to my favorite City Krispy Kreme. It's actually Pasadena, but South Pasadena is in my top 20. read more

donuts great per usual ambiance is nice and clean service needs work. i never go into krispy kreme... except it is teacher appreciation day and i found a coupon online for $7.99 donuts. the coupon clearly said "in-store only" and "limit 3". but when i got there they would only honor the coupon for 1 box. i needed a second box for my sweet toothed family plus a third box for work (bec i am also- surprise! - a teacher). they said they manually input the discount for a second box but refused to do a third. Bummer. I dont think i'll ever be back unless they have the same deal and that they will honor it to the letter! I hate stores that do not honor their promos. also, was disappointed to learn this ISNT a drive through joint, even if it looks that way from the street. i will say the servers are sweet. one girl was chattiing with my son about his toy and also gave him a mini donut while waiting. sweet. read more

What a disappointment. Husband and I were SO excited for this new location when we drove by countless times during remodeling. Well, we went. First & last time, unfortunately. Donuts are at least a day old, stale and definitely not the famous Krispy Kreme quality you'd expect. Not sure why they would even open a location without the production being on-site, which is what makes Krispy Kreme so unique in the first place. Over at this location, expect the exact same quality you'd get if you were to get them from local grocery stores. read more
