Today is my Dadas (paternal grandfather) birthday and he would have been 87 years old this year! Dada was the superintendent of public education for all of Delhi, a great father (and grandfather), a poet, an actor and lover of sweets.The love of sweets and stress from work eventually caught up with him when he became diabetic, but every once in a while he indulged in a treat. His treat of choice when he visited us in the United States was a @krispykreme donut, can you blame him??Ill be honest - there is one, maybe two donuts that I could consistently choose over Krispy Kreme and even those are a bit different.Lets break down why Krispy Kreme donuts were my grandfathers American treat of choice:1. Consistency: this donut ranks among the top for all donuts in terms of its texture, warm and soft (if hot and ready) or crisp but fluffy if cool. Biting into this donut is like biting into heaven2. Flavor: this donut is literally coated in sugar... obviously it tastes amazing and somehow not overwhelming in flavor balanced by the actual donut3. Experience: Im sorry I dont have a video of the hot and ready but watching your donut be made, wearing the Krispy Kreme hat, its an amazing experience everytime. Weve driven 45 mins to get it when Dada visited
This is the mother ship. Whenever you arrive, someone is baking and icing fresh donuts. The smell of donuts and coffee is incredible. You can get the original or various other creations. Good parking too. Get a couple 6 packs instead of the dozen flat and share the treats. These folks offer fund raising coupons and other gifts here too.
Where do I start ? with the less then beautiful glaze donut, so Im crushed that fact my donuts looks 3 days old and, the fact I called the store and end up on the 1 800 number, end up getting a Dewan to answer which turned out being krisp kreme customer,he told me could not take the donuts back to the store and that I had to wait 3 days for a free donuts coupon.Now Im really sad cause I wanted to donuts today and not 3 days later.So I take the glaze to donuts back to the one one Ponce De Leon. Just to get same looking donuts .
Krispy Kreme is so hit and miss, particularly this one. One day, you walk in and get a beautiful box of glazed and frosted donuts. First of the month, you go in expecting donuts that look like their marketing advertisement only to get some barely dipped, half dried “chocolate glazed” donut. Too many other great donut shops in town for this tomfoolery.
I Love Krispy kreme donuts, but since Ive gotten older, theyve become a lil to sweet, but I still eat at least 2 donuts everytime. I like this location better on PONCE DE LEON, because they will go above & beyond to make sure they provide good service. Even though I had to wait 30 minutes on Glazed donuts 9/5/20, it still was ok, because it was due to that $1 special they had going on, but they were hot off the rack. The West End store needs to improve more better, I had to travel 20 extra minutes outside of my location all because the WestEnd location ran out, but wouldnt give a time for making anymore. So I called Ponce de leon location & they told me to be there, cause they will have them ready in 35 minutes with the hit light on & they did. Great job Krispy Kreme- Ponce de Leon location downtown Atlanta. I recommend them.
Always fresh and delicious donuts!! Wish they had one in my town instead of the Dunkin Donuts. I will continue to drive one town over just to get these though...very well worth it!
No words can describe in the human language how delectable those hot donuts are. So here Ill try to explain it in my alien language.... Just kidding ! I love Krispy Kreme theyre prices are a little bit proud but I pay them anyway for some reason
I have had better visits in general than my most recent visit (which I would give a 2), but have definitely been to other locations that were more friendly, which is why the overall score is 3. During these COVID times, all visits are by drive-thru only so the lines are long with significant wait. That being said, I feel it is horrible customer service to let a customer order a box of donuts that will NOT be available by the time you reach the checkout window. I asked for a mixed dozen of pumpkin spice donuts (like whats available on the site) and was told they had all the flavors except cheesecake. I said, well give me three of all you have and make the rest regular KK glazed. When I got to the checkout window, they were about to give me a box of half pumpkin glazed and regular glazed. When I told the young man thats not what I ordered, his female coworker commented they be changing their orders at the window, which was a lie. When I told him what I was told at the intercom, then he said (clearly frustrated), well this is all we have. We dont have any of the other pumpkin flavors except glazed. So I asked for a mix of pumpkin glazed, regular glazed, and custard, which felt very awkward to do at that point, given people are behind me. They handed me a box that hadnt been securely closed so I almost dropped the donuts. When I opened the box, there was one pumpkin cinnamon roll in the box, in addition to the pumpkin glazed...so WHO was lying? I would have been better off getting the donuts delivered. At least the website would have shown the donuts unavailable if they were sold out and I wouldnt have wasted any time in a long line or had to deal with employees taking their frustrations out on me.
This location needs to be retrained. I had to repeat my order 3 times to the speaker at the menu, then wait forever for the single car in front of me to get 1 box of donuts. Then had to place my order at the window again, then the guy hands me what should be a coke but it was 90% clear. I refused it and told him the syrup needs replaced and he just looked at me confused and said well thats the way it came out of the machine and tried to hand it back to me. Then I get the lowest quality donuts I have ever seen from a Krispy Kreme. This used to be a great location, not anymore.
It’s crazy how often fires happen at KK
I realize I got there at 10:15pm (closes at 11pm)...The Hot light was on and attracted me on a late Uber drive night.After 30 minutes in drive through... no more hot doughnuts.No apologies either... the hot lights not on. Its on white right now was the best customer service that could be handled.I got more appreciation from the gentleman ferrying trash in a hopper across the lot to the dumpster as I waved him in front of me before I moved my car along.I may have caught them on an off night, but make better Saturday plan, team.
I absolutely love that this location stays open late. I just recently heard that this location had a fire 🔥 destroy the building so I look forward to when they open back up.
Some rude woman working here came and yelled at me and other guests for moving 2 tables next to each other. Get my tables back you people are blocking the walkway. You people. You people. For putting two tables together me, my wife, and our friends were labeled you people. Unbelievable.
The best Krispy Kreme location in all of metro Atlanta. Ive never seen the restaurant unkempt and the staff is always nice and neatly presented to customers in their uniforms.I literally drive an hour each way just to patronize this location because its my favorite.
I swung by here for coffee one day after passing it almost daily the last year... needless to say I won’t be stopping again. At 11:15 AM, I waited over 35 minutes in a drive-through line of 4 cars to place an order and receive it. I ordered a single black coffee.After waiting so long, I received a single, cold-from-sitting-out coffee full of cream and sugar. Terrible service, with so many coffee/breakfast/doughnut options in the area, go elsewhere. This is a poor representation of the Krispy Kreme chain.
Took a trip to get some sweets and because the Hot sign was ON through the app. Got the doughnuts and they was not HOT but soft seem they was preboxing them and putting them on the counters before orders. So semi waste of trip.
Krispy Kreme is the best place for donuts. Especially the ponce de Leon, everything is so fresh, hot & delicious.
Every time I go there its always delicious.
Noooooooo!!! The best Krispy Kreme in the world has burned down 😰😓😭 Please rebuild it quickly!!!
Ms.barb was so nice and she deserves a raise for her patience and great customer service .
Absolutely loved the doughnuts were fresh and Absolutely Amazing. I bought pumpkin spice cake doughnuts, original glaze and chocolate glaze. I am happy that I bought them. Thanks Krispy Kreme you are Amazing!!!
I love this place, great food & service. There was fast and courteous service. They have so many great reviews for a reason.
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! A Male took my order and specifically told me that he didnt know what was sold. Every type that I asked to get he responded were out of those. I refused to order just anything and told him Id go to a competitor who would be happy for my business. Ill NEVER return to the Ponce store again. Avoid this place at all costs!!
I had always wanted to try Krispy Kreme but they don’t have one in Massachusetts and I came to visit my sister for the holidays so we passed by and I literally just left this place and I have to say what a bad customer experience. A lady working today dec 6th at 1am at the drive through was entirely rude. I saw the sign on the drive through and it said closed till 6am the next day and we asked if they are still open and she just didn’t even let us finish and said do we need our order or not. She couldn’t even let me finish my order and rushed me to get less than I wanted, she was yelling and out of line. Work on that! The donut was incredibly good and I could have ordered more but I had to get less because this lady was insanely rude. Very good donut but very very bad customer service. Please work on that.
This place has the best donuts and great coffee. Often you get free donut holes while you wait to order inside. A clean and comfortable seating with plenty of tables. The drive thru is great when in a hurry and love the hit and ready coming off the conveyor. A highly recommended place for all ages, especially a treat for kids. Wish they brought back the pineapple glazed donuts- they are awesome!
Great donuts but I needed a cup of coffee. Shaq please get the coffee fixed.
Not too shab, it was late night on a holiday. Donuts werent that fresh but quite tasty. Line was long but moved at a steady pace. Enjoyed the sense of humor of the employees. Their chiller machine was down which was unfortunate. Would definitely go again during the day for some fresh donuts that had creme filling.
Tasty and 🔥 we love when they come hot off the press.
Its Krispy Kreme. New caramel covered. Yes they are awesome
Midtown/Piedmont Park location is where I visited about 7pm. My box of 1 dozen Doughnuts were HOT & FRESH! OMG!! Line a bit long at drive thru. Friendly staff. Wish KK stop increasing prices. Free parking if going inside. However, I visited the Stone Mountain(US 78) a few weeks prior; doughnuts were horrible. They were old, stale & cold. I didnt return them because I had already driven off and was in hurry for an appointment. Otherwise, I would have returned them for a fresh box. That day I was so disappointed and Id wasted 9 dollars after craving FRESH / HOT doughnuts all day. Piedmont KK rating 5 stars. Stone Mountain (US 78) KK 1 STAR.
Disappointed. Went through drive thru during the weekday a 10am. Customer service was non-existent. No greeting and my order was incorrect. Called this location - no answer 3 xs. I paid for something i didnt get. This is not the 1st time. **The morning shift should definitely work on customer service etiquette.
No thanksgiving themed donuts but the glazed were hot the raspberry filled were delicious
I am so sorry that we lost this store. I love this location.
Mannnnn.... I placed an order for a dozen donuts and the order wasn’t ready when I got there. A guy quickly made my order and 50% of the donuts in my box were wrong. Had to go back in and ask why... another employee told me they didn’t have the donuts I ordered. So, I’m like why didn’t he just say that. Lack of communication... the downfall of any business, relationship, etc. Three stars because the donuts are always fresh and it’s Krispy Kreme. They lit. Lol
Greetings Krispy Kreme,I visited the Krispy Kreme on Ponce De Leone on April 3, 2020 at 6:30 pm. I was told by the janitor and one of your employees that the dining area was not accessible any longer for whatever reason(s). However, just last Sunday on March 29, 2020 (during the morning hours) the dining area was wide open for business and takeout. Here are where my concerns reside: Being inconsistent with your accessibility with the dining area. Not everyone has a car and I am not going to spend extra money to order this food because of whatever reason or reasons you all have. You should display such changes on your website and/or on the front of your entrance. I dont appreciate wasting my time venturing to this location only to be told that I cant go in twice from two people that clearly have negative feelings toward your establishment [i.e. your janitor and Mr. Random worker]. Do not address me as bro or dude. Address me by my surname or maiden name. This is the last time I will be spending anymore of my hard earned money on this business. I was actually in the mood for one of your specialty donuts. But now, I am completely satisfied with not experiencing anything else from your establishments. I will be sharing this experience with my colleagues.Have a wonderful day!
I used to enjoy this place, but when I got the original glazed today, it was super gooey compared to usual. The aftertaste is not so pleasant either. I enjoy using the reward app to collect rewards, but their system was down which is discouraging. Most importantly, my order was wrong that if I didn’t correct it, I woudlve paid more than what I ordered.
My carry-out experience, today, was funded quick, fast, and friendly customer service, great, delicious donuts, and a expectedly clean considering the restez=d$
You cant go wrong with Krispy Kreme, especially when the light is on!!Those are some good donuts!!
Donuts were way over done and soaked from waterAlso had a burnt taste char on them
A doughnut shop with a broken coffee maker is ridiculous but if thats the case you might want to put a sign on the drive through menu.Customer service was also sub par. No one answered me at the drive-thru, and then when they told me they were out of coffee they stopped responding to the rest of my order. Fun times
Hot sign was on and the doughnuts were ice cold. I love hot doughnuts or Krispy Kremes. The cashier should have been up front. I was deceived and dont appreciate it-
295 Ponce de leon Ave, Atl, GaFriendly Staff & Great Service!!!! Josh was very accommodating!
The staff was amazing. Super sweet and helpful!
Just left there, they didnthave any doughnuts other than original glazed, and they have one price advertised and are charging 10 cent higher. Cant even adjust the price to the advertised price. Should have just gotten my Publix doughnuts.. smhUPDATE: WAS MAILED A COUPON FOR FREE DOZEN.
Parking is free. They have free Wifi as well. They play really good music if you ever take your time to listen. If you dine in they have free hats that you can wear so you can enjoy the experience. Smells amazing in there and they have friendly customer service and funny enough they also have pretty friendly customers that come in as well. 10/10 👌🏽
Pretty crazy line, but it moved rather quickly... they were out of many of my requests, but the service was smooth and kind. The key lime filled donut was a delightful treat!
These people are so AWESOME I came in for a dozen donuts for my sons 8th birthday in October and when I came out I GOT THESE HOTTIES FRESH & SO CREATIVE AND DELISH! and I dont know the girls name but she helped me so quickly and pleasently gave me options to choose from I loved this location 🤘🏽
This was not a very good experience. I paid 11.00 for 6 choc covered cream filled and a water. First off, one if them had apparently misfired... no hole on any side, and therefore there was no creme inside at all. I didnt even realize the injector sometimes completely misses the donut. Luckily only my first one missed, but all six donuts were not just made a few hours ago, they were completely stale. It was nightime so i guess they could have been made at 4 or 5 that morning and possibly gotten that stale. However selling me donuts at a premium price almost 2$ each means you need to make new ones and not sell 18-20 hour old donuts... thats why you keep rotating them to sell the morning donuts in the morning... usually a fan but please!
Glazed and creme filled doughnuts. Fresh and delicious! Pumpkin doughnuts are fab!
Fast service. Very nice employees. Very clean store. Hot, fresh donoughts.
Was here shaq owns it gave us a donzen free
How does this main location not have any glazed donuts at any point in time?! Seriously—somebody’s not doing their job!
Great donuts. The HOT NOW sign is just like a magnet that draws you in. Quick service and smiling faces. Clean bathroom.
Lovely place that offers delicious homemade donuts. The service is great, the location very convenient and the prices fair.
Out of coffee out of Reese doughnuts, SAD !!! Out of everything thing smdh
Great service but they gave me the incorrect doughnut!
Had a great experience at this location! The manager was extremely helpful, and the red light was on so the donuts were hot and fresh! We dropped in right at 5:00 so I honestly couldnt think of a better way to wait the traffic out...
Always gotta stop when the HOT sign is on!
I use to love this location but the last 2 or 3 times its been Just like the one in riverdale they sell donuts with no glaze and tasted old dnt waste your drive or gas
I frequent this Krispy Kreme anytime were in town as its convenient to our hotel. The donuts are always fresh and the employees are friendly with quick service. With the amount of business they have, they do a great job keeping up.
Love this place. Yum yum good!
The Best Doughnuts in town.
Best eating experience in history!!! My mouth is still dancing and doing cartwheels!
I love this krispy kreme!
Donuts were burning hot.
The young male cashier took forever to fulfil one order, approximately 10 minutes. Instead of moving faster or asking the customer to pull up and bringing the order out, he just didnt care. Then when I pulled up he didnt acknowledge me and acted like he was taking an order. I eventually left without my order.
They told me at 7 pm that most items have been sold out since noon! They also didnt even have napkins!The doughnuts we received, despite being the same order, were 50% different in size.Lots of issues....
I was really disappointed my Frozen Caramel Latte taste liken it was spoil. After sitting in drive through for 15 min.
Smooth drive- thru time and hot my order in less than 10 minutes as a Dasher
My teenage daughter loves donuts but she had never had Krispy Kreme. I had to bring her here .This place is legendary! Needless to say she loved the donuts. We ordered a dozen. The service was friendly and everything was neat and clean. It was awesome. I enjoyed sharing this little experience with my daughter.
This place appears to have just burned. R.I.P.
The service here Thursday night was not good at all and I love doughnuts but this day they was horrible 😢 my Grandkids were so disappointed we had to throw them out but not before I had to add them here on Google maps!!!!!!
Preordered a dozen donuts the night before. Ended up waiting 30 mins for them the next morning!
I will always love krispy kreme.
Theres no way you can find a better donut than Krispy Kreme. Especially when they are fresh off the rollers. Hot and so soft they almost melt in your mouth. Ive been to this particular Krispy kreme many times. I grew up in Atlanta and we always go here after a Atlanta event. Monster trucks, baseball or football game. My latest visit was a 3am drive through. I got a mixed box and a large coffee. The donuts were fresh. The coffee was hot. I ate half of the box sitting in the parking lot. You should make this a must visit if you are in Atlanta. I definitely recommend this restaurant even at 3am. God bless.
