krispy kreme

krispy kreme never disappoints 😍 one of the biggest donuts joints in chennai order vanilla donut , sugarglazedand choco sprinkled donut 🍩 sugarglazedwas outstanding and other too was on par with each other just perfect 😘

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 sugarglazeddoughnuts.

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 originalglazeddoughnut 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 originalglazeddoughnuts. 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. : )

goddamn! such beautifully scrumptious donuts 🍩. i couldn't get enough of the chocolate dream donut, simply smouldering. gotta love the originalglazeddonuts 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. :)

the originallyglazeddonuts 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 originallyglazeddonuts free 😄 a perfect quick fix on the go snack 👍

we were in need for something cold and hence headed here for some cold beverages. and, needless to say we weren't disappointed. we ordered the combo of two cold coffees and twoglazeddonuts free, and a passion fruit iced tea. all the cold beverages were good, fresh and just perfect for the hot afternoon. i liked the ambience of the cafe too with nice cozy chairs, sofas and tables. perfect for group hangouts as well as plain chilling out.

this is never my first choice for donuts. i think they're overpriced and do not taste great.. at all. a friend wanted to have theirglazeddoughnuts, so i went for it. i find them particularly sweet and the texture of the bread always seems stale. the filling in the donuts isn't much either.

staff is kind and courteous.

always a donut house fan.

the mere thought of having a soft, fluffy, simple yet tasty, sugarglazeddonut crumbling in your hand is pure ecstasy.. though donuts come in various shapes and sizes, with different toppings and sauces smeared on them or stuffed with yummy fillings that just ooze out when you take a bite... *bliss*, but nothing matches the joy that the originalglazedprovides.. before you know it, you just gobble it down your throat and ask yourself the question, "where the hell did it go?", and wish to have one more.. 😅

okay, enough of my donut ramblings.. was craving for sugarglazeddonuts, when my friend said, " hey, let's go to express avenue". i didn't have to be told twice and happily accompanied her to satiate my cravings! 😅😆

i always become a small girl when i look up their donut plant.. just imagining rows and rows of donuts frying in it... *sigh*.. the ppl in the counter are very courteous and make your day by welcoming you with smiling faces..

i drank an english breakfast tea without milk to sooth my croaky throat.. the donut was just pure delight like always!! no disappointments there..

on the whole, a really nice place to have amazing donuts and also feel good about it!! 😆

p.s : they have good deals when it comes to having beverages with sugarglazeddonuts! do check them out!!

been here quite a few times. unlike in phoenix they have their own closed dining space. its one of the few names that hits my mind when i think of doughnuts. they have an array of doughnuts to choose from. my all time favorite is originalglazedand vanilla shake, which is amazing.

whenever i enter express avenue i never leave the mall without having a originalglazeddoughnut!

the originalglazeddoughnut is their best! they also have lots of other variants which are also great. loved their coffee too.

pricing is bit higher for their beverages, but perfect pricing for their doughnuts.

loveee their doughnuts. absolutely yum. i'd definitely recommend this to everyone craving for yummy, soft and delicious doughnuts. even their plainglazeddoughnuts are just unbelievably yummy. 
what we had : chocolate dream cake, chocolate iced with sprinkles, original glazed. there was a buy two get two offer too.  two shakes,(the names of which i cannot recollect at all!, please excuse.) they were a little watery\diluted, but then i didnt really care cos the dough nuts were just...heavenly. 
oh yes, one can never have enough doughnuts.

i had gone to krispy kreme to meet a gang of my girlfriends. well its a donut place so basically they concentrate on that which i love. krispy kreme has a good variety to choose from. chocolate donut is obviously nice, but my heart loves and almost everyone feels the same, their original donut is the highlight. the simpleglazeddonut is my favourite there. it's a must have. as donuts and coffee go hand in hand,they have a variety of coffee and shakes. the cafe mocha i had was yummy. i also tasted my friend's velvety vanilla and it was super yummy too. a must go. ambience can be worked upon. but no others issues with place.

beautiful ambiance with the signature glass walled kitchen with donut making machine.
freshly made originalglazeddonuts are to die for.
completely worth the absurd amount of calories people say it has (i don't even care how many), if you've got a sweet tooth, i guarantee you this sugary goodness will have you wanting more.

atmosphere/ décor
upon entering, you'll notice that this location has a narrow interior with high top tables all around and a glass window to view the donut process. watch these circular beauties slowly get fried andglazedright before your eyes! a small step exists, too, for dem shorties.

donuts
forget sprinkles, fillings, and all that. it's all about the original glazed, and when it comes hot off the conveyer belt, it's quite melt-in-your-mouth sinful, and it's like fulfilling all your sugar needs for the entire year, ever. i believe a standard, freshglazeddonuts . *heaven*

service
super efficient.

prices
one donut cost 65₹- 70₹

overall
i would personally return, and their fresh donuts were decent. however, it's not great enough to make krispy kreme a regular stop.

a nice comfy place in ea to hangout, located in one corner of the mall.
liked their chocolate and custard filled donuts more than the normalglazedand non filled donuts.
their chocolate filling was so thick and little more on the sweeter side, would have preferred lesser sweetness but still tasty.
had their chocolate chilli drink, i personally dint like these 2 flavours together in a glass.
if your lucky enough you can see the donuts being prepared in a separate glass partition near the seating and have them fresh & piping hot only at a certain time of the day i guess.
