Krispy Kreme is another donut chain that has been in operation for nearly 100 years. They opened in 1937 in North Carolina and have managed, with some ups and downs over the course of their lifespan, to be a household name when donuts and donut shops are the subject of conversation.
Krispy Kreme’s plain, glazed donuts are their signature item. Shaped like perfect circles, they line up uniformly in a box, creating an appeal via their no-frills nature. From that foundation, this popular donut shop has created a wealth of donuts to choose from — some just as uncomplicated as that original, like a chocolate cake or a glazed cruller.
When it comes to filled donuts, they can get a little extravagant; there’s a New York cheesecake option or a rich, caramel-y dulce de leche. Though you can get into those hearty flavors when you want a stuffed donut, in their jelly arena, the Powdered Blueberry Filled jelly donut is fruity perfection. Powdered sugar coats the outside of this blueberry-filled yeast confection, adding another layer of sweetness to the equation. This one is a real lip-smacker.
