Right down below, you can find the ultimate guide to all of the greatest Krispy Kreme donut flavors so that you can discover your new favorite one.   

Oreo Cookies and Kreme

Taking the number-one spot on the list of what I consider to be Krispy Kreme’s best donut flavors is none other than Oreo Cookies and Kreme. Combining Oreos and donuts is possibly one of the most brilliant ideas ever, if you ask me. 

The Oreo Cookies and Kreme donut is filled with Oreo Cookies and Kreme, dipped in decadent dark chocolate icing, and topped with crushed Oreo cookies and a drizzle of creme. This is always one of my go-to donuts when I come to Krispy Kreme, and it’s easy to see why once you’ve tried it. 


Chocolate Iced Glazed

Next up one my list is a classic that’s hard to beat, the Chocolare Iced Glazed donut. This one is definitely a donut for all the people out there who like to keep things simple. If you’re a fan of the Original Glazed donut, but you wish it had a bit more chocolate, then this one is for you. 

The Chocolate Iced Glazed donut is the same as the Original Glazed donut from Krispy Kreme, except it’s been kicked up a notch. As if the Original Glazed wasn’t already the perfect treat, the brilliant minds at Krispy Kreme made it even better somehow by hand-dipping it in their incredible chocolate icing. 


Glazed Chocolate Cake

Up next is one of my all-time favorite donuts, the Glazed Chocolate Cake donut. This donut is like a decadent piece of circular chocolate cake that’s been carefully glazed in sweet deliciousness.

I absolutely love how the glaze on the Glazed Chocolate Cake donut hardens to give almost a slight crunch to every bite, revealing the moist, soft chocolate cake underneath. The glaze also offers the perfect counterbalance to the rich chocolate. 

This donut is always a hard one to beat, especially when you pair it with a fresh cup of hot coffee or a glass of milk. It’s always a winning combination. 


Original Glazed

The Original Glazed donut is what Krispy Kreme is known best for and it’s just something you have to try whenever you go there. You have to look for Krispy Kreme’s Hot Light that tells customers when they’ve got hot, fresh donuts available. It’s the best time to grab a classic Original Glazed. 

There’s not much more to be said about this other than it’s the perfect sweet treat, day or night. There’s no wrong time to enjoy the warmth of a fresh Original Glazed donut from Krispy Kreme, so check it out and you’ll see why they’re so popular. 


Cake Batter Krispy Kremes

If you’re in the mood for a party, then this donut is the one you need to get. The Cake Batter donut is always a good choice when ordering from Krispy Kreme, but it’s really the ideal donut to bring to a birthday party thanks to the colorful sprinkles and cake batter Kreme filling. 

The Cake Batter donut is absolutely bursting with the flavor of cake batter and the sprinkles provide such a perfect crunch on top that it all works together in harmony to create the ultimate birthday donut that will make everyone happy. 


Chocolate Iced Raspberry Filled

Another one of the greatest Krispy Kreme donuts that you should try is their Chocolate Iced Raspberry Filled donut. This is another stuffed donut that’s full of sweet, delicious raspberry jelly that will explode with flavor when you bite into it. 

The Chocolate Iced Raspberry Filled donut is the perfect mix of fruity and chocolatey sensations mixed into one sweet treat. The raspberry jelly gives it that fruity flavor and the chocolate icing offsets it beautifully. Each bite of the Chocolate Iced Raspberry Filled donut from Krispy Kreme is an absolutely symphony that you won’t want to end. 


Glazed Blueberry Cake Krispy Kreme

The next donut on my list is the Glazed Blueberry Cake donut. This is possibly my favorite donut to order in the morning for breakfast if I’m stopping by at Krispy Kreme. There’s just something about the blueberry of the cake and the signature glaze on top that makes it so irresistible.

The Glazed Blueberry Cake donut from Krispy Kreme is a superb donut choice because it’s almost like a handheld blueberry pancake or a blueberry muffin but with a little extra sweetness from their amazing signature glaze. If you like either of those things, then this is the donut for you. 


Glazed Cruller

Crullers are originally a Dutch invention, but Krispy Kreme has definitely perfected their own version. The Glazed Cruller from Krispy Kreme is another classic that everyone loves. If you’ve never tried one before, then you really should consider heading to your nearest Krispy Kreme and grabbing a few. 

I love the Glazed Cruller because it’s so light and airy on the inside. The Glazed Cruller also has just the perfect amount of their signature glaze on top to make it sweet, but not too sweet. Crullers are rich and moist, with all the tremendous flavor that you’d come to expect from Krispy Kreme.


Glazed Raspberry Filled Donut

The Glazed Raspberry Filled Donut is an absolute treat that’s perfect for any time of the day. If the Chocolate Iced Raspberry Filled donut was a bit too chocolatey for you, then this might be the ideal solution. 

Filled with their sweet and tangy raspberry filling, the Glazed Raspberry Filled Donut is then topped off with their amazing signature glaze that gives it a little extra sweetness and a bit of a crunchy shell once the glaze hardens. 

This donut is literally bursting with flavor and it’s always a surefire way to please anyone that likes a good, old-fashioned jelly donut. 


Glazed With Kreme Filling

Up next is the Glazed With Kreme Filling donut and this one has become a bit of a weakness for me. I can never resist picking up a few whenever I’m passing by a Krispy Kreme. This donut consists of a raised yeast shell that’s pumped full of their delicious Kreme filling. 

No matter how many donut shops I’ve tried, I have yet to come across a donut with such a delectable combination of creamy goodness and rich, tasty dough. For me, it’s the Kreme filling that really sets this donut apart from its competitors. Just try one and you’ll immediately see what I’m talking about. 


New York Cheesecake Donut

You don’t have to go all the way to New York to get the amazing taste of a New York cheesecake. Instead, just head on down to your local Krispy Kreme donut shop and try their New York Cheesecake Donut. It never seems to disappoint!

As a lover of all things cheesecake-related, this donut spoke to me on a spiritual level. It’s a classic raised yeast shell donut that’s then filled with Krispy Kreme’s own cheesecake filling, topped with a mouth-watering cream cheese icing, and finished off with some crunchy graham cracker bits. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Reese’s Peanut Butter

Now, here’s one for all the Reese’s fans out there. This donut is called the Reese’s Peanut Butter donut and it is really hard to find one that’s more delicious than this. I would never have thought that the combination of chocolate and peanut butter could get any better until they made a donut out of it. 

The Reese’s donut from Krispy Kreme is a classic raised yeast shell that’s filled with Reese’s Peanut Butter Kreme. This is a special creation made by Krispy Kreme just for these Reese’s donuts, and boy is it a real treat. 


Strawberry Iced With Sprinkles

Strawberry Iced With Sprinkles is the next donut I want to mention from Krispy Kreme and this one is very reminiscent of the donut made popular by The Simpsons. 

I feel that the strawberry donuts here at Krispy Kreme don’t often get the recognition they deserve as delicious sweet treats because they get overshadowed by some of the other, more popular donuts. 

However, you shouldn’t overlook this donut the next time you go to Krispy Kreme. The strawberry icing adds such a perfect flavor to the light and fluffy donut that it really is a great combination. 


Original Filled Chocolate Kreme

This next donut that I think you should try is the Original Filled Chocolate Kreme donut. This donut is very unique and you probably won’t find another one like it outside of Krispy Kreme. 

What makes this donut so special is that it’s an Original Glazed donut that’s been filled with their decadent chocolate Kreme filling, but it still has no center!

I won’t even pretend to understand the magic behind creating these wonders of the donut world, I simply enjoy them. You can spot these by looking for the iconic chocolate icing drizzle on top of an otherwise regular-looking glazed donut. 


Cinnamon Bun 

This last one on my list isn’t technically a donut, but it’s so delicious that I had to include it on here. The Cinnamon Bun is a classic pastry that can’t be beaten, especially Krispy Kreme’s rendition. 

These cinnamon buns are packed with sweet cinnamon flavor that will make you feel warm and cozy inside. Bonus points if you pair it with a fresh cup of hot coffee, too. As if it couldn’t get any better, the cinnamon bun is then perfected with Krispy Kreme’s signature glaze to finish it off. Definitely give this one a try if you haven’t already.
