KRISPY KREME RALEIGH REVIEWS

Krispie Kreme originated in Raleigh, NC. Couldn't resist stopping in for an original glazed donut. We were lucky enough to be there when a few children were there. Their excitement in watching the donuts being made was great.

Oldest, original location in Raleigh. Recently remodeled though I've seen articles online suggesting it will close along with numerous other stores and go to distribution services only. I hope not. Service is always fabulous with very pleasant counter service. EVERYTHING is EXTREMELY clean, I've never seen anything out of place nor in the floor. Various seasonal and limited time offerings throughout the year. Plus, it's pretty neat watching the production, donuts on the conveyor. I prefer to go inside rather than use drive. Some things you'll just miss in the car.

Good donuts! I’ve been coming from when I was one! The donuts are best when hot glazed. I love this yummy donut. They also have a lot of merch and it’s so cute. Five out of five.

DUCK DONUTS REVIEWS

I had heard of this place but had never been. So, we gave it a shot. It is a nice place to bring kids: they put a variety of delicious stuff on top of the doughnuts, just as they do with ice cream cones at Goodberry's. The service was not that good, but we managed to have a good time nonetheless. And there are some cute things on the walls for kids to look at throughout the store.

Donut breakfast sandwich was very yummy. As good as it gets for $5. We also got a blueberry pancake donut and another with chocolate, peanuts and coconut. The blueberry pancake was our favorite but they were both tasty.

Amazing donuts. Made to order with lot of yummy flavors. Donut sundae was fork licking goodness. With warm donut as base and cold ice cream on top, you can’t go wrong. Staff was very courteous.

BAKER'S DOZEN DONUT SHOP REVIEWS

This was my first visit to this donut shop, and I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. A coworker had talk about their donuts, so I felt I had to check it out myself. The donuts were incredibly soft and bursting with flavor. The shop had a lot of customers, which is always a good sign.I can confidently say I've found my new favorite donut spot. I can't wait to return and try even more flavors!

Probably the best donuts ever! Small place, but plenty of parking. Inside was bustling with people eagerly waiting for donuts. I would consider this place a carry out only. We tried the apple fritters, a strawberry cake donut, and coffee. The coffee was so-so, but the donuts were amazing. If I ever make this trip again or if you find yourself near there, this is a must stop! Snagged a picture of the cinnamon rolls while waiting

Love this place! Best donuts in the area. The apple fritters are some of the best I’ve had. I always stop by when I’m visiting the Raleigh area. Try them out, you won’t be disappointed!
