Editorial Review for Krispy Kreme – by Saira Masood

In Short
In 1937, Vernon Rudolph brought a secret recipe from a French chef to North Carolina, creating the infamous irresistible treat and starting a glazed doughnut revolution. These scrumptious doughy delights are brushed with a sugar coating, and have been know to cause even the most dedicated hard-bodies to temporarily abandon their diet. Evolving past the original glaze recipe, today customers can now choose from a variety of lip smacking treats, from apple fritter to New York cheesecake doughnuts. The international company still holds to its roots, providing welcoming and helpful service while perfecting its craft at making melt-in-your-mouth masterpieces.

Forget Disney, this is the bast place on earth. If you don't believe me ask my son. We love it! The best donuts on earth!!! Krispy Kreme are good hot and fresh and out of the box the next morning. Kids of all ages love these tasty morsels!! Krispy Kreme is even community minded. They are often sold as fund raisers. I dare you to say no to a cute kid selling the best donut on the planet! Some one was really thinking on that one! Anyway, the store is clean and the donuts are Divine!

Pros: The donuts!!!!!!!!!!

Cons: The calories.

I am a NC Native whose Mother worked @ Krispy Kreme when she was first married, over 60 years ago and it was located across the street, near where Conti's market is now. It was literally a hole in the wall then and they didn't have all the fancy machines to make those melt in your mouth doughnuts. Krispy Kreme is by far the BEST Doughnut on earth, especially when they are "hot off the conveyor". There is absolutely no better treat than to visit on a cold winters night for some of the hot glazed with a glass of cold milk or a cup of their great coffee. I just don't understand why the home of this delight doesn't have more locations. We need more locations!!!!
