krispy kreme

great place to hangout with friends. amazing donuts. beverages are good as well. service is great!
i have been there numerous time and will continue to go...

biggest of all krispy kreme's in chennai!
a huge board in the centre of the mall at the ground floor showing directions to krispy kreme hit my eyes and i thought 'why not a doughnut? it's been long time'

as i entered another big flux hit my eyes, "50% off after 8:30pm". this krispy kreme is the biggest in chennai with ample seating peace and the place was lit up so bright. the lightings and theme went hand in hand. a part of the shop has their machine on how they bake doughnuts and people could see it live. it's an automated machine where people could see doughnuts being prepared right from flour batter to packaging.

their transparency is highly appreciated and nobody will have a second thought on their kitchen hygiene. it's all transparent.

all my krispy kreme encounters go with a mandatory 'original glazed' doughnut and some other new addition to the menu. i tried out their new mango cheese doughnut. this mango doughnut had mango syrup filling on the top as well as within. syrup concentration was mild and that made doughnut palatable.

as a part of offer, 2 doughnuts and the bill was ₹75! so bloody cheap! absolutely vfm.
the only concern was that there was no ac and it was mentioned that ac is under maintenance.

creamy doughnuts !

krispy kreme doughnuts ea

visited on : 31st july 2016

overview : krispy kreme is a good place to get together with friends and family and have a good evening doughnut snack and drinks.

the "good"s : -doughnuts of many many varieties are available here.
-good seating arrangement and ambiance.
-the doughnut making machine is up for display and doughnuts are made two times a day in this which is fun to watch.

the "bad"s : -the items here are a touch expensive and not a good place for those on a budget.

my view : good place to have some tasty doughnuts.

i've been having their doughnuts since i can remember and always bring back a dozen when i come to chennai for vacations. knowing that they opened shop was very much to my delight. went to ea just to get doughnuts but it was not the best experience. let's do this part by part, ambience is relaxed and the place itself is very clean and roomy. pricing wise i'm not going to complain as each one has a different take on it. doughnut taste, very good and just shy of the taste available abroad. service is where they lack. they seemed grumpy and unwilling to mix and match my requirements (they fussed as i changed my mind twice about my own choices). the coffee seemed a bit off the day i had it. otherwise, great stop for possibly the best doughnuts in chennai!

i have had krispy kreme doughnuts a zillion times, and i love them. this is my most fav doughnut joint in city. i have never bothered to review this place, but recently i had visited the outlet in express avenue mall. usually i just buy doughnuts and take them home, but this visit we ordered and had it at the outlet. i love the sitting area as u have a lovely view outside. i am not gonna comment about the doughnuts because they are as good as always, i loved the oreo shake. the concept of doughnut and ice cream is a little odd, but it's just worth a try. my all time personal favourite here is the sugar glazed doughnuts.

visited krispy kreme in express avenue. good ambience, lip smacking doughnuts, lovely mango slush, hot music. wonderful time, lovely place for sip of coffee and bites

their cinnamon apple donut is to die for!
liked the huge space they've got for themselves inside ea. pocket friendly at that as well. the drinks could be better - my strawberry iced tea was stale.

but the tall cappuccino servings are heaven!

in a characteristic mylapore brahmin accent, one of my school teachers always used to say, 'mathavaal la kashta paduthi than sandosham varum na, andha madhiri sandosham ey namakku vendam tanveer' true that, mam.

extrapolating her philosophy, i'd say 'oru global fast food chain ah review panni than unakku review points varanum na, andha madhiri points ey vendam tanveer'

lol.

hence, it is by principle that i decided not to review ubiquitous global food chains,
'subway nungambakkam is the best' then 2 days later ' subway t nagar is the shizz macha'. etc. also domino's. they're there by the dozens. someone write a review for pizza hut no. paavam, fellows have become invisible.

'periya principle nu sonna? apparam enna **thukku you're writing this' nu you folks can ask. touché.

thing is, the exception to my principle, is, if a food chain is absolutely exceptional(this one) , is getting unreasonable hype(starbucks alwarpet) or a glaring health hazard (thankfully yet to find one such establishment), i'd consider writing a review for it. hence, we are here.

krispy kreme opened up a long time ago. namma than late. no latest coming also. lol. *self facepalm*

i visited the place recently and absolutely loved it. being away from the food court, helps keep the place sane. it isn't buzzing with people, and it works wonders in its favor. it's hard to find such places, especially in a mall as busy as ea. also, the view. it isn't all sea view baywatch types, nor are you blessed with a neon enhanced view of the skyline of our city. all you can see are a bunch of exquisite german beauties, with a few indian go-getters thrown in for good measure. for the automotively challenged, i'm speaking about the view of the car parking. :d also, it's a nice feeling to casually stroll your car, park it on the ground floor without having to go to the depths of dante's inferno to park/retrieve. and the garden and the entrance to the mall. lovely. didn't mind spending extra for mall parking this time!

the place has a very welcoming ambience. huge windows, good natural lighting, the garden and the cars, chairs, of 2 kinds. one section is the laid back cushion sofas which you'd find in most ccds, and another section with a more serious, table and chair set up. they all work well though!

the food, is also exceptional. they're a dessert only place, with a few beverages served. hence you won't find anything savoury on the menu. i guess that's another reason why the place is relatively less crowded, cause there's only so much time you can spend for dessert. i did the same too. there's a mango fest going on and so we had ordered for 6 doughnuts. each one of us, wanted an original glazed doughnut and a doughnut with a filling. the mango cheese cake doughnut was my choice and i liked it. though i don't know if i'd ever eat a cheesecake in a donut form again, it tasted pretty good. another friend had a vanilla mango filled doughnut and she liked it too. the last doughnut was this chocolate filled dish, which was smashing. all 3 doughnuts had copious amounts of filling, especially the chocolate one, which was oozing liquid chocolate and managed to create an enjoyable mess of things. we were all kids again. but i personally preferred the original glazed doughnuts. simple, yet they were better than the more decadent ones imho. could have eaten a box of just those.

the service is also pretty good. 'welcome to krispy kreme sir' exclaims this gentleman from the counter as you enter the place. 'namma la than da koopudran'! all warm and fuzzy you get. don't remember the last time i got a
' welcome to domino's sir'. i guess it's cause i'm only there for the buy one get one offer. and they're like 'oc le ye thinra paaru' lol.

there was a lady who had understood the awesomeness of this place and had sat with a couple of doughnuts, a drink and a book, by the corner. kudos to her. resisted the urge to replicate her behaviour as i had to leave.

the krispy kreme outlet at forum mall, is in the middle of the entire mall, and i really didn't take to it. so i never tried it. but i'm sure they all taste the same. one grain of rice is evidence for the whole pot. does that ring a bell? if it did, then you a true local macha. :d

this place though, just nails it on all frontiers!
definitely coming back here. probably every time i visit the mall. lol. not every time i guess. rapidly outgrowing my clothes already. :p

cheers. : )

glazed donuts, simple! no one glazes their donuts better than krispy kreme. they have a huge collection of donuts and flavours to satisfy every donut mouth out there. their coffee's and shakes are excellent as well. easily the best donut joint in the city, pricing is fair as well. great ambience and service as well.

goddamn! such beautifully scrumptious donuts 🍩. i couldn't get enough of the chocolate dream donut, simply smouldering. gotta love the original glazed donuts too. i thought i'd never get to eat from krispy kreme in india, but here we are, licking away the dripping chocolate filling off of our fingers.

my daughter was absolutely in live with their little cap. she was so adorable in it. too bad she threw it down before we could take a picture.

overall, it seems like a quite place to snuggle up with some coffee and them delish donuts. :)

if u seriously want to have a heavy calorie food or snack its the best place. the sevice the flavours the options and all of them are at their best. a must try place in chennai again.

the originally glazed donuts are my all time favourite. not too sweet not too bland but just dissolves in your mouth literally 😘
it's a good offer - buy any two drinks and get two originally glazed donuts free 😄 a perfect quick fix on the go snack 👍

one of the finest donuts joints in chennai, loved all the varieties, must try joints incase if you are in express avenue. but pricy but you will love the creamy donuts

their variety of donuts is wow! a little over priced but good taste. yea, they could be less sweeter. they're tooooo sweet. but good place for snacking.

to find peace, quiet and a cozy setting in ea to sit and talk, that doesn't burn a hole in your wallet seemed to be a impossible dream till we stumbled upon this big, airy, spacious outlet of krispy kreme. ever the doughnut fan, i've never been able to resist these creamy, delicious concoctions, especially the ones with fillings.

a mandatory stop will be made to chill out from now on, after every ea visit :d
cheers !
