Cheat day treats – Krispy Kreme

As you should know Krispy Kreme is the latest food trend to hit Dublin in 2018, The American company has hit Ireland with a bang. If you haven’t heard about these luxury doughnuts you must be living under a rock. When it first opened its doors in Blanchardstown, The place was out of control. Both its drive thru and in the store was jam packed with hungry doughnut lovers! Yes, you did read that right, A doughnut shop with a drive thru service.

Krispy Kreme was a 24-hour service when it first arrived, due to the company being such a hit it generated a lot of noise. This led to many local complaints, forcing the company to change its opening hours. Krispy Kreme now opens at 6.30 am to 11.30 pm.

I was eager to see what the fuss was a about, but I was not prepared to wait five hours for a doughnut. Finally, after three long weeks of waiting I decided to take a trip out to Krispy Kreme. When I arrived the drive thru was still extremely busy, so I decided to have a look in store. Going into the store was the better option as I got the full experience. When you are queuing to make your order, you can witness these little pieces of joy being made before your very eyes. For any doughnut lovers this place was like heaven. There were thousands of doughnuts on huge machines being moved around it was fascinating to watch. When I finally made it to the counter, I received a free fresh out of the oven doughnut dipped in Krispy Kreme original secret glaze.

Krispy Kreme is slightly expensive but well worth a try. For a box of original glazed dozen, it cost €13.95. You also get the option to create your own dozen called a sharer dozen for €16.95.
