  • The location of this Krispy Kreme is great in theory. Located on Bell Road, just feet from State Route 51, the store's sign is clearly visible from the highway. I drive past it everyday and thought it had opened weeks before it actually did just because how much the sign sticks out. So when I was hungry the other morning and craving something sweet, and just about to pass that sign, I decided why not indulge in a doughnut. So here's why this location is only good in theory; Being so close to the highway entrance/exit, it's quite a challenge to get in and out of the plaza during the morning rush hour. Bell road is packed. You're going to have to wait quite a while to make that left turn on 36th street. Then when you're trying to get out, you better either want to go south on the 51, or keep driving east on Bell road, because it's going to be a very tight squeeze if you want to get into the lanes heading to the 51 north, and turning left on Bell is going to be nearly impossible. During my wait for an opening in traffic, I kept asking myself if this was worth it for a doughnut? My answer is a resounding no. Having not had a Krispy Kreme doughnut in years, I didn't realize how expensive they are. 99 cents for a plain glazed doughnut? $1.10 for one of the variety doughnuts? Unless you get a glazed made hot on site there's nothing special about them. There's also plenty of non-chain shops that have a much better product for cheaper. I decided to try a chocolate iced creme-filled and one of the specialty doughnuts, the oreo cake. The chocolate iced creme-filled is okay (this was one of my favorites when Krispy Kreme was at the peak of its popularity), but I could get the same doughnut at any supermarket for 50 cents cheaper. The oreo was awful. It's just a regular chocolate doughnut with crushed oreos on top and a dollop of cookie and creme filling in the hole. It should work, but for some reason, it just doesn't. To make a long story short, neither was worth the calories or the price, and both made me wonder what was up with the Krispy Kreme Kraze in 90's. Remember the lines at the drive through for the original location at Arizona Mills? Remember when the donuts were sold in supermarkets and gas stations all over the valley? But mostly, I remember when I didn't care after they all disappeared overnight.
