When Krispy Kreme first hit the Canadian donut scene, my friends and I went bonkers. At that point in our lives, our primary pastime was driving to coffeeshops and eating donuts there. So when the double K hit the Heartland, it was like the opening of a hot new cream-filled double-glazed nightclub.[1]
This tiny location --located at Harbord and Bathurst-- makes me nostalgic for simpler times when donuts was our drug of choice. All the old favorites are here: original glazed, chocolate glazed Kreme-filled[2], glazed cinnamon, et cetera.
The donuts are unlike the cakey-baked varieties at Tim Hortons. These are lighter (in weight), greasier, and fucking sweeeeeeeeeet. I couldn't imagine eating more than one in a sitting. You'd probably explode with diabetes.
But yeah, these donuts still pack a punch. I urge you to get the cream-filled variety of chocolate glazed donut rather than the custard-filled. The latter is effectively a Boston Cream and for the love of all that is Canadian just get that at Tim Horton's. You do love this country don't you?
Obligatory Title Pun: KREME yourself for a change!
Menu Readability: Say what you will about these fuckers, they have some lovely graphic design. That forest green is a winner.
Need to mention: Wanna watch them being made? http://www.krispykreme.com/dmaking.html
What this place teaches me about myself: I spiralled into a weird bit of patriotism there. Must be the sugar talking.
