    The only location in Raleigh, Wake County, or surrounding counties that actually make the doughnuts. The other locations just get unglazed doughnuts, run them through an oven & drizzle glaze on them

    Of course, the doughnuts are great. When you go, make sure the Hot Light is on, because that indicates that your doughnuts will be hot and fresh!

    Love it! Wait while the "hot now" sign turns on, and enjoy original glazed hot doughnuts that are cooked in front of you on a conveyor belt and melts in your mouth. Good to visit with friends. :)

    If you're headed to a weekend event downtown, this should be your first stop. It may be a chain, but the local flavor says "Raleigh" like no other place you can go.

    Wait for the hot doughnuts sign or go in and ask if it is not. The staff will help you get the hottest doughnut available.

    Look for the "Hot" sign and eat a doughnut while watching more doughnuts being made through the window to the production area.

    Don't order a mocha. Can't taste the coffee or the chocolate. Mostly foamy watered down milk. Ripoff!

    Go to Krispy Kreme when the neon "Hot Doughnuts Now" sign is lit up (typically at night) and get a dozen glazed doughnuts. They'll just about melt in your mouth
