When you've been in business for over 80 years, you're doing something right. For Krispy Kreme, that something is making delicious donuts.
Since Krispy Kreme was founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1937, dozens of companies have tried to outdo them. Few have succeeded. Why? Because they've mastered the art of donuts. They've got the classics down, and they shake things up with limited-time and seasonal options.
These are the greatest Krispy Kreme flavors of all time. After carefully evaluating their texture, flavor and overall deliciousness, we successfully ranked them.
Content warning: The donuts you're about to see are proven to be irresistible. If you're on the latest keto diet or trying to shed weight, proceed with caution.
It's not a groundbreaker, but the original glazed maple donut is an American classic.
That might not make much sense considering maple flavoring is a Canadian thing, but maple Krispy Kremes are about as American as baseball and apple pie.
This one's a classic cake doughnut with just the right amount of blueberry flavor. Upon reading that this Krispy Kreme flavor doesn't actually contain real blueberries, we were momentarily concerned.
How does it taste like blueberry without any blueberries? After taking one bite, we forgot why we cared.
This particular Krispy Kreme flavor looks like a Valentine's Day special, but it's available year-round.
It's a good thing, too, because the combo of raspberry jelly and dark chocolate is as elegant as a sugary donut can get.
The red swirl on top completes the package.
In anticipation of 2021's warmer months, Krispy Kreme launched a line of island-inspired donuts. The most tropical Krispy Kreme flavor, Pina Colada, combines an original glazed donut with a new Pina Colada Kreme, a smattering of toasted coconut and a candied cherry on top.
Ready for summer? Same.
