Was super excited to visit and luckily was there at a time when donuts were being made. Very mesmerising process. Donuts were just as delicious as I had remembered. Most of the range was in stock and the place had a casual atmosphere. Would visit again if I was in the area, but happy that they’ve opened more stores near the city centre.
Krispy kremes original glazed donuts hold a special place in my heart. Soft and fluffy dough, with a perfect glaze. Ahhh..
I got a selection. The original glazed never disappoints! Some of the other ones were a bit too sweet for me - but this was personal preference. They have good deals if you buy a bulk so nice to share with family or friends.
They have one of the best doughs, leading to such an amazing donut.
my favourite donut place,
love their christmas set, and why i am thinking manukau one ais better than chancery one.
takeway sometimes, less people, easier, service is good, but night time is not as good as daytime
Nice clean and bright place. Staff were friendly and polite. Doughnuts were just Delish, really enjoyed them. We ordered a mixed 4pack and shakes which were just as flavourful. We will be calling in again!
The glazed donuts are always fresh and to die for!
Soft gooey cream filled delights, that’s the best way I can describe the Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Like biting into doughnut heaven. Try out the Simpsons Doughnut or shall I say, “Do’h-nut…”. There’s nothing better than seeing their world-famous glazed doughnuts coming fresh off the conveyor. It always puts a smile on my face.
5 Stars, exceptional doughnut, exceptional service! Can’t go wrong with Krispy Kreme.
Awesome and friendly service made our dining experience great!! Thanks guys!!
We’re regulars here. Love their doughnuts 🍩 & their hot chocolate is to die for. Love their new additions & my favourite was the M&Ms (bring them back)
Pretty good donuts. Best ones I have ever tasted, soft fluffy but immensely sweet but good cause it keeps me from eating the whole box all at once lmaooo my favourites are the peanut m&ms and the dolce de leche those are so good!! Creamy sweet fillings so good.
Love their shake with a shot of malt! Customer service awesome. I don’t eat doughnuts, so can’t comment..Overall loved my shake. Would recommend that
Doughnuts always of the same standard in the perhaps ten times I have visited - super light and plain delicious😋 Staff always friendly! Simply can’t go past the original glazed and caramel delight!

Celebrated national donut day today with a dozen of the classic donuts. I'm not a huge fan of the donuts from here because personally I like them denser. However I can appreciate how light and fluffy they are, they went down a treat at afternoon tea at work, everyone else enjoyed them thoroughly.
New Zealand was long due to have a Krispy Kreme store, it was quite so overdue it created such a huge hype and on its opening day (28 February 2018) tons of people queued even some for 36 hours before its launch. It’s like an iPhone launch where people camped out just to have the first taste of their doughnuts, there are perks of doing it first where the first one received a year’s worth of free doughnuts (a dozen a week), the second in line received six months’ worth and the third for one month, it does not stop there as the first 100 customers get a numbered t-shirt reflecting their number in line plus a free box of doughnuts.
Best donuts by far always fresh soft and tasty.. great place to catch up with friends if you can grab a table. Only downside is place too busy in the weekends but worth the wait
Best donuts ever !! Tiramisu is our favourite one ... Had been here today for their first anniversary in New-Zealand.. the outlet was flowing with customers.. but the wait here is always worthy.

After all the hype, we finally tried the Krispy Kreme donuts and shakes. No more queue now!! Prefer the ‘filled’ donuts, they are too sweet for my liking and the icing is quite thick. Prefer their shakes. Pretty good and creamy.
Best doughnuts i have tried. My favourites are caramel, cinnamon and cookies and cream. Their doughnut shake cookies and cream is my favourite for here. Must try.
So tasty. Feel lucky that Krispy Kreme finally decided to open in New Zealand. It's just doughnuts but the freshness and unique toppings make all the difference.
Tried for the first time yesterday and it was good but very sweet with all the fillings. My best one is the original glazed, very yummy. I will try again though but the milk shakes need more flavor.
Dine In and you might get a sample of their newest and latest addition to the range!! The team are friendly and have someone cleaning tables on rotation. Great service! Thank you!
Delicious donuts and it's at its most convenient being able to order through Uber Eats. Personally the original glazed is the best donut but the other flavors are amazing too, it's nice to have the variety.
Definitely the best donuts that I have ever tasted 👍
I have never been to Krispy Kreme let alone ever tried a Krispy Kreme donut. My partner in crime and I dropped in on the way out of town and the place blew my mind. I LOVE that you can see the donuts being prepared, it definitely adds to the experience when you can see it all happening. The atmosphere was busy but it was clean and colourful all the same. We got a box of 12, with an array of flavours. I chose the following six: the strawberry iced, the apple crumble, the tiramisu, the kookies and Kreme and dulce de leche caramel. All were absolutely beautiful and fresh but if I had to recommend, the dulce de leche caramel takes the cake. The caramel filling isn’t too sweet, which is great, while the icing on top has that sweetness. It’s really well balanced.
You can never go wrong with the classic “Glazed Donuts” They are absolutely amazing, slight crunch on the sugar glazed, soft and fluffy in the inside. Totally amazing sensation 🍩🍩
Clean and bright place. Staff and service are always good. Donuts are alright - most flavors are a bit too sweet for my tastebud. Milkshake is bad - it’s just like milk! Ordered caramel flavor and there was no caramel taste in it at all! If you go at the right time, you can see how they make donuts which is pretty cool to watch. Overall donuts are alright but not that great great.
Having a bad day today but krispy kreme donuts at work kinda cheered me up a little bit. Too many donuts to choose from so I went for the basic original glazed donut. Excellent as expected:) donut was so soft and sweet
Next time definitely will try other donuts
I had a Caramel glaze doughnut. It was very fresh and tasted amazing. There were lots of flavours to choose from behind the cabinet. It was clean inside and there were lots of seats. I liked how you could watch the doughnuts being made. I didn't see any when I was there though, but they were getting ready to do some.
I first came here when they first opened and had to wait almost 2 hours on the drive-thru queue. Now the hype has kinda died down and last Friday when I visited here for the second time, there were not too many people waiting in queue and it was good as I cound get the donuts straight away. I got a dozen each of the chocolate glazed and original glazed. Original glaze, words not needed to describe how good they are, and chocolate glaze was also very delicious, the chocolate coating is so chocolatey, doesnt taste cheap and the donut itself was so soft and fluffy. YUM😊😊
YUMMMMMMMMM! honestly they are amazing!
We went through the drive thru and wow it was really fast. My absolute favourite flavour has go to be the Tiramisu donut.
Been here a few times since it opened and the one thing i love is their sundaes. They have an original glazed donut with soft serve and cookies and cream crumble sprinkled on top. It’s honestly the best. Just based on doughtnuts though, i prefer dunkin donuts as krispy kreme is just a but too sweet.
So glad this place is no where close to be near my house / work place or even my friends.. if this was then I would had turned in to a giant fat mf lol almost every city I had been to had kk but nz and then finally launched here.. I always have loved it and can't wait til they start selling it national wide hopefully soon.. I grew up with kk and when I first came to nz I couldn't believe the standard of doughnuts here.. these bakeries were so shitty! Now the real donut is here I'm a happy speechless fat kid lol but cant lie they are retardedly over priced in nz but not surprised here we go with oh everything is imported bullshit.. elsewhere it's a dollar each or way less in the third world and they always run buy one get one promotion all the time.. hopefully here soon too my love
Glad to have Krispy Kreme in NZ. Their sugar glazing is quite a treat for the sweet lovers. The other flavours were quite too sweet for me. Would recommend the basic donut.
Krispy Kreme is super popular so you’ll always be guaranteed fresh donuts! They come in an assortment of flavours, with my favourite being the original glazed.
Great gift idea or treat for the office.
I'm not a massive doughnut fan, but yes, even I have to admit that these are good. I tried a couple of the filled ones and found them nice, but a bit too sweet and not really very exciting. The original glazed doughnuts however, hot damn they're good! They are actually the best doughnuts I've ever had, which is weird as they look pretty basic. Love that most are veggie friendly too!
The original glazed donuts are like a sweet heaven in my mouth lol. When they have been made fresh and glazed and served straight away.....they are in their best form and I could probably eat a dozen all to myself. Soft and sweet-the perfect combination. I hope they open up more stores as the location is quite far.
A veryyy long wait, even with the drive through. (Also very far away from where I’m located which is fine because they’re opening one in CBD soon!)
I felt a bit rushed when I was ordering because it’s super busy, but I like how they have a premise section with the original glaze to skip the line.
I love these donuts, I just wish they were more consistent in size. I got 3 boxes and in one of the boxes one donut was half the size of the rest... it seems like there’s a lack of quality control :(
At least it still tasted good!
I also love their ice coffee and ice chocolate, it’s a lovely drink to have with a donut especially during summer!
The best donuts ever sooo delicious baked and fresh. I had the 12 box donuts and I loved all of them and I had the choc honeycomb kreme shake the person behind the counter says that’s a popular drink, that was delicious and the Dulce de Leche donut is also the top best everyone mostly gets that one. The drive thru is still buzy and long thou. I call this place number 1 donut store 2nd epiphany donut.
Original glazed doughnuts….. need I say more! Don’t be strayed by the other decadent flavours – the original glazed ones are where it’s at! Fresh, fluffy, sweet and soft these are definitely my favourite from this doughnut chain. Baked fresh daily with a dine in area and drive through option, you can’t ask for much more. I’ve been here are few times now and the staff are always friendly and ready to serve. The shelves are always well stocked too so there’s no waiting around for the next batch. Stands outs other than the original glazed is the dulce de leche, strawberry iced, choc iced custard and vanilla slice. I’m yet to try anything else on their menu but there sundaes look delicious. Here’s hoping they open more joints soon 🙌🏼
Krispy kreme is just not good because they make the best donuts.. but also because thrir staff is super awesome.. my husband asked them if they could do a donut cake for my birthday.. they were surprised to hear that request but took challenge to try their best and made fresh donuts and wrote Happy Birthday using 100s & 1000s.. I was just awesome effort.. not to forget they r always showering their customers with free donuts..
I love their custard creme and tiramisu over the original. The donuts r light and best eaten fresh... they always serve fresh..
This is the first ever Krispy Kreme store established in New Zealand. They are currently offering 12 different flavours of doughnuts with a variety of hot and cold beverages. The doughnuts are fresh, sold right away from the oven. Best to eat them warm, and they will melt deliciously in your mouth.
I somehow find them a little bit too sweet though. But if you have got a sweet tooth, these doughnuts are just heavenly and you may become obsessive with them unnoticeably!

Milkshakes are delicious as are the donuts. Finally somewhere where the donuts arent stale. The only downside is sometimes the drive thru line is still long sometimes. My kids love it and we always stop for a treat when we are in the area.
Hands down these are delicious donuts.the apple crumble is a fave.so soft and fluffy.hhmmm yummy.
I do question what's in them though as my daughter accidentally left half a donut in a hidden spot and I found it a week later and it looked the same as the day I bought it lol. Hhmmm lots of preservatives lol no mold.
Once in a while shouldn't kill us lol
Please open a branch in west Auckland. (Northwest)
I can have many donuts without break.lol I love Krispy from back to my home country. Happy to see it in NZ :) it is sweet n just melt in mouth. Just love it:)
Pure indulgence absolutely worthy of 20 km drive from the downtown. We ordered assorted dozen, every donut turned out to be fresh, soft and fluffy from inside unlike other brands' with chewy centers. The queue was long but not so the waiting time. Staff friendly and courteous.
Waiting in line for these donuts is something but yeah theyre realy nice, glazed and the dolce are my favs, plus living close by doesnt help lol but staff friendly and cool
Doughnuts were nice, sweet and what you'd expect from a doughnut. I had a range of them but I couldnt taste the flavours as distinctively as I expected since this place is so hyped up.
Overall. Nice doughnuts and yummy hot choc but its not amazing enough to drive a long way for them.
Oreo was tooo sweet. But when the original hit my lips it went straight to my hips & raised my nips , nekk minute I’m giving tips. Delicious. Highly recommend y’all. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
I never tasted doughnuts in my life..my friend gave me one just to taste in my office. i like it soo much that on my next holiday I drove all the way to Manukau from central Auckland just to buy these doughnuts for me.I had shake as well..that was also amazing.Now I'm a fan of Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Mmmm, doughnuts!
This is my go to doughnut place, compared to other places in nz, Krispy Kreme doughnuts are light and fluffy and it’s nice to walk in and see the doughnuts being made fresh!
They really know how to market they’re doughnuts, usually giving away free doughnuts while you’re waiting in line and I remember before opening they would give away free doughnuts before opening.
I’ve sampled all they’re flavours and my favourite would be the original glazed, apple crumble, and chocolate iced.
The milkshakes are nice too, not too sweet and just the right amount of creaminess.
Definitely when I’m having my doughnuts cravings, I’ll be back!
In love with Krispy Kreme donuts, I can’t go past the original glaze AND the Dolcé Deliché ones with salted caramel filling! When they first opened their store in Manukau you could easily wait 30-45mins because there were so many people, a few months on its much better. Choose your time carefully!
Amazing doughnuts that take me back to America. Coffee was surprisingly excellent. Service levels were beyond expectations and facilities top notch.
Krispy Kreme is the best!!! My favourite donut is the cookie and cream one! 10/10 for flavour, 10/10 for packaging, 10/10 for pricing (around $2.3 each)
Busy store but what do you expect when Kirsty Kreme come to town. Great service and if you’re waiting in line for too long they come out and give you complimentary glazed donuts which is really thoughtful given how busy they are. You can also see the production that takes place at the back. However because we chose to eat in. All the bins were overflowing with rubbish. Tables needed cleaning but it didn’t ruin the night. All in all pretty good eatery and the Donuts definitely live up to their name. Yummy!
Clean, bright and lovely venue with helpful staff. Really like their donuts although the tea was alright - nothing special. Went there on a Saturday night and it was quite packed. Great place to chill out and have a coffee with friends.
Was craving for some doughnuts so what's better way than driving from the north to south for some krispy kreme doughnuts?! Ordered their 4 pack assorted and chose original glazed, tiramisu, choc custard and kookies n kreme. Favourites would be the original glazed and choc custard, the others are a bit too sweet for me.
Why does sugar makes us happy? Or in this case doughnuts? Everyone who steps inside Krispy Kreme is like a kid with their Happy Meal (seriously, this place is filled with some 'sweet' happiness).
Anyway, good doughnuts are like good fries... Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Krispy Kreme's doughnuts are like that!
I gave them a 4/5 cause the sweetness is way to overpowering. Go easier on the sugar and you'll deserve my last star.
P/S: very friendly staff :)
Yummy love the donuts. Glazed has to be my favourite. Not to sweet, just right 😊👌
I think I may have tried all flavours (cut into quarters lol) and my other faves are definitely the caramel one, and oreo.
Sooooo unbelievably sweet! I’m a big sweet tooth but holy moly these are some sweet doughnuts. Could probably handle about 1 and be done. Could definitely eat more, they are pretty dam good but would feel pretty sick after. Ate a small bite from each doughnut from the mixed box and decided I enjoyed the glazed with chocolate and sprinkles on the top the most. The caramel ones are pretty delicious too. Was not a fan of the jam filled, jam is sweet but the jam inside is even sweeter, just too much sugar in my opinion. I know that’s kind of the point of doughnuts but it’s kind of overkill. Same with the cookies and cream, such a big fan of cookies and cream! But they just sweeten it even more and it’s like the sugar just nearly cancels out all the other flavours in there. The cream, the crumbly cookie. All i can taste is sugar!
LOVE LOVE LOVE YAS! They taste so good! The service is good! So fresh, they’re just so good! Have had these donuts a lot of time and I’m still not sick of them!
Stopped by after work to pick up a box of doughnuts for the next day. The line wasn't very big but the doughnut machine was still going so you could watch the doughnuts cook as you wait in line.
Ordering was very easy, just pick how many doughnuts you wanted and pick the flavours. there was an option of favourite flavours where you can get the staff to pick the flavours. They also had other interesting things like the milkshakes.
Service was friendly so it makes you want to go back (aside from the doughnuts).
Went here for the first time with my boyfriend the other day we both got the milkshake with 2 donuts for $9.50 which is not bad. I tried the loonies and cream shake with the strawberry glazed donut and the chocolate custard donut and my boyfriend got the original glazed shake with the tiramisu and Dulce de leche donut. The shakes were very thick and not too sweet which was just perfect (I personally didn’t like the original glazed shake but it was interesting and literally tasted like the original glazed donut) and the donuts where really nice the bread was super soft and kinda melt in your mouth and the filling for the Dulce de leche and tiramisu were probably the most exceptional. The staff were really nice and the seating had the American diner look to it and I really liked how you could see the donuts being produced while you queued.
We went here tonight and the donuts are yummy! Also happened to speak to a really informative manager about the making of the donuts etc and we said how good the donuts and shakes were but we were disappointed there were no tiramasu donuts left. He said he would check out back to see if the new batch was ready yet. 2 minutes later he came back with a complimentary 4 pack of tiramasu donuts for us! Totally didn't expect it but really grateful and if I could give more stars I would! Thanks Ronald!!
Definitely better than Dunkin. Original glazed is the best. Fresh, soft, and with perfect amount of sugar.
Apple custard and chocolate custard are awesome. Cookies n cream and strawberry jam (worst option) are too sweet for our liking.
Service and sitting is very good. All in all a good place to be at. Wish it was slightly less expensive though. But that's good that its costly or we might be eating it too often which would not be good health-wise. Thanks KK for that :)
Krispy Kreme specialises in donuts. This newly opened eatery looks very much like KFC or O'Mac with drive-through service. Donuts were soft & lovely; I tried original glazed, tiramisu, chocolate iced custard & apple custard crumble & I liked tiramisu the best.
Visited on 14 May 2018
I am not even a donut person but this place is AMAZING. It definitely lives up to its hype in my opinion. Personal faves are the caramel, dulce de leche, and cookies and cream.
I am sure I will be visiting Krispy Kreme often!
Totally understand the hype for these donuts. Incredibly crispy and fluffy on the inside.
All time fave is definately the original glazed and chocolate iced.
Loved the donuts! Staff were friendly and helpful just didn’t like the massive line! Would definitely go back but not until the hype dies down a bit and the lines aren’t going out the door!
Awesome taste. price is reasonable too. The best donuts ever. Fresh and tasty. Would love to go there again and again. tiramisu and dulce de leche were the best ones.
On Saturday night, I was having a rough day at work but still went to Krispy Kreme after work to hopefully boost my energy and mood with some donuts. After being in the line for a long time, I finally reached the counter to pick my donuts. I was greeted by a huge smile from the employee on the other side and she was the nicest and cutest. She had this sweet voice and we had a long conversation while she was getting the donuts for me. Sadly she didn’t wear a name tag but I asked her if she was half Korean when we proceeded to the checkout counter and she laughed and said that she is a proud Filipino. No wonder she was beautiful!
When I tried the donuts on my way home in the car, I fell in love with Dulce De Leche (learnt how to pronounce it because of her). The glazed was too sweet and had a thick layer of icing which threw me off because it didn’t taste like the donuts I had from Australia. I also tried out tiramisu for the first time and it was delicious!
Overall, the customer service was the best and I definitely want to go back as a regular customer (considering work is just nearby). Also to get some hats as I unfortunately was not able to get any!
Living near by, good place for doughnuts. Not sure if this is the first Store in Auckland or not. Haven’t seen any other around. Still see long ques during the weekend busy hours. No idea why.@@
Fresh and delicious donuts, and you can get them drivethrough! I liked that they're not stale like Dunkin' donuts since theyre made fresh on site. Plain ones have a slightly bitter yeasty flavour and the filing seemed to be a bit unevenly injected in some but generally great taste. I loved the tiramisu (highly recommended) and the cookies and cream. The dulce de leche was a bit bla for me, flavour and texture wise, as was the chocolate topped custard one. Seriously yummy addition to Manukau :)
Best original glazed donuts and shakes! Worth the wait and money! Best donuts ever. The wait is slowly dying down. Highly recommend! Best to go early.
Overrated new eatery?
Naw, it's a delight - great locale, a massive store with impressive interiors, superb staff (Patricia and Ethan were helpful & friendly) and yummy donuts at a reasonable cost!
The queues are madness but that's a good indication of their quality and favourableness amongst the people. Plus, they're doin' business 24/7 which is really cool. Likeable packaging and quick AF purchasing time (once you trudge through that queue).
The donuts are Krispy and (most/some of them?) are Kreme-filled, so... really, it's all good!
Joined the line for 25 mins to experience the hype and enjoy my donuts and shake in all the ambience of a packed donut store in south Auckland and... it was worth it. Enjoyed the free sample while watching them being made. Do think they need menus / price boards along the wall where you line up - counter to short and was semi chaotic - but got a sampler box. The original glaze and cinnamon are my fav - washed down with a cookies and cream shake 🍩👌🏽
First time KK customer! If you're short on time maybe go to Dunkin' as you'll be waiting a while. (20+ in drive-thru) The glazed donuts are my favorite, they're made fresh and they melt in your mouth. Delicious! but don't fall for the hype.
Kookies n Kreme and Apple Custard Crumble are soooo great! The donut is super soft... Also ice coffee is a must to try! Long queue is worth no matter inside store or drive through.
Got one of the boxes with a dozen in them for my bday when they first opened and were super busy. They weren’t the best but could have been a day old which wouldn’t help. Went back again and got the Choc iced custard and it was so much fresher than what I had before. Milkshake was quite average though
First of all it’s been over a month yet there was a huge line to get your hands on the donuts. Great variety and nice flavours. Was too sweet for me, favourite was the cinnamon donut which was not to sweet but perfect. Personally cannot have more then 1. Can definitely indulge once in a while.
Only problem is the wait . The lines so long it lead me back to Dunkin Donuts . 5 stars for taste and customer service. Sorry Krispy Kreme but if I see a long line queuing then I’m just gonna go back to Dunkin Donuts.
Notorious for its lines all the way to Manukau mall, the Krispy Kreme craze has definitely landed in Auckland with the ridiculous number of patrons passing through for some doughnut delights. Being swept into the hype myself, I made it a trip to Krispy Kreme by also going Texas Chicken. Yes, I did have some crunchy, golden fried chicken before downing it with some original glazed doughnuts. Did l love my meal? Yes. Did I feel bad at the time? No. Do I feel fat? Absolutely!
Personally, like many others, my favorite was the original glaze. I could only have 2 in a row before being sick of how sweet the doughnut is. In terms of the other flavors, I liked the Dulce, Strawberry Jam, and the Chocolate Ice ones.
I actually enjoyed my experience at Krispy Kreme, I loved being able to see how my doughnuts were made and the process it goes through, the store itself was brightly lit and gave a fun/carnival type vibe. Would I come back for a doughnut? Probably not. Do I think the hype is deserved? Yes, because the doughnuts were fantastically fluffy while being crispy.
Showstopper: Actually, a fun overall experience and the original glaze was absolutely gluttonous
.
Overall Grade: A-
Visited this place yesterday evenig and there were happy staff offering free regular donuts to all customers right outside. The interiors were clean and i bought an assorted pack which included strawberry, tiramisu, vanilla slice and cookie cream - what a divine treat!! Much better than dunkins and being the only outlet , this place was super crowded but plenty of seating available. Plenty of staff and really good customer service and good parking as well, definitely back here soon
The hype is dying down a bit so waited for 45 mins in the drive through but it was a sat night after work. I must say it was all worth the wait, delightfully light and sweet, the best doughnuts I've ever had. I have these in a couple of other countries but they were nothing like this. I just got a box of original glazed so I don't know how long they had been sitting there but they were still nice and even the next day which really surprised me. Can't wait for round two.
Went here to see what the hype was about. Thank god we didn't go through the drive thru because the line was insane. We went through the express lane and got the assorted box. This is a good choice to try them all. some of the flavours are very sweet (the caramel one)
If you want to compare it to other places (Dunkin Donuts) these have more flavours, about the same price, fresher/software they are consistently made on site. Definitely better than Dunkin Donuts.
I wouldn't go out of my way to get these again, but if I going past I might pop in!
What a delicious flavours. I really loved them all.
Super customer service
Only one thing they should improve ‘’ coffee size’’ !!! Large one even so small 😊😊
Waited around an hour in line from 9am to buy these donuts. Service was all rounder really nice and they give everyone a free glazed donut valued at $3 upon entering the store. I have tried Krispy Kreme in other countries and I can say that the taste is exactly the same.
I don’t prefer things too sweet so imo, the deluxe donuts such as cookies and cream, dulce de leche are a bit too sweet if you wanna finish the whole donut. But if you have a sweet tooth it would be perfect!
My favourite flavour is the original glazed and the tiramisu.
Price wise, I reckon it’s pretty worth it, especially if you buy it in 12 packs then it comes down to quite a good value.
I would say definitely check the donuts out, just not when it’s busy and you have to line up for ages!
My daughter and I decided to stop in on our way home from shopping.. Parked up and went to the express tent.. was in line for approx. 5mins (no more) got the sampler pack.. served by a really friendly and funny staff member.. the inside wait was approx. 30mins which I didn’t have time for.. now to the donuts.. the original glazed is a good donut! Not something I could eat a lot but definitely good as an occasional treat! Didn’t really like the strawberry iced and choc iced donuts was a bit too sickly sweet for my liking.. loved the strawberry jam and caramel iced!! All the others were decent.. definitely would go again but not anytime soon.. maybe once the hype has died down! Still somewhere worth trying at least once!
I love it so much, honestly the best donut I've ever had! So yummy. Definitely recommend Krispy Kreme's - Such a great treat for the family!
Delicious donuts from Krispy Kreme NZ, Fluffy and tasty donuts. We bought 4 packs donuts that cost us around 12.90$, Bit expensive for just 4 donuts. But worth it.

Drove about half an hour to try these donuts out because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I ordered a sampler which consists on 12x original glazed donuts and 12x assorted donuts of your choice. I picked out Chocolate Iced Custard, Carmel Iced, Dulce de Leche, Kookies N Kreme and Vanilla Slice. The donuts a little small however lots of icing and filling. I would say my favourite donut is the Caramel Iced because it didn’t taste super rich and sickly and the donut was soft but still had a nice bite to it. I don’t think I would drive all the way out and wait in the long queue anytime soon, however once the hype dies down I would love to come back and try the donut milkshake. Staff were very lovely and worked as quickly as possible!
Pro tip: go during rainy days and peak traffic times when people are trying to go home after work. Super passionate drive thru chick needs a raise!
Finally got to experience what all the hype was about. The original glazed donut is something which is definitely worth the try. It is so light and crispy and something I would definitely go to try again. The other donuts are nice and they are different from any other donuts I have had but there is none I favour the most, apart from the original glazed donut. Something for everyone to try.
I’m HOOKED. Visited on a Friday night and bought their pre-packed dozens through the express lane as I didn’t want to wait. While my friend and I were waiting we were given free donuts. It melts in your mouth!!! My favourite one has to be their original glazed donut. It was light, airy and hot. You can see the donuts being made as well, which is super cool. Definitely coming back for more sweet treats.
yum! is all I can say the wait was about 20 mins to half an hour but I mean cant complain about the free doughnuts while waiting happy customers haha the iced coffee was delish! our fave doughnuts are the iced choc custard so good! and the customer sevice was on point friendly happy smiling service is a bonus
Hype is definitely worth it. We came on a Sunday and the queue was about 20 mins wait, but the staff were very friendly and gave us free glazed doughnuts to keep morale high 😄
The open factory setup is awesome and keeps you entertained while you wait. Doughnuts speak for themselves.. This is a must try.
Finally got to check out this place to see what the hype was all about!
We ordered from the drive through. It was about a 40 minute wait, but once it was our turn, the servers were incredibly friendly. They were, however, out of the tiramisu donuts, which was a little bit disappointing :(
The donuts were soft and pillowy, and I was impressed by the amount of stuffing and toppings on each one. The apple crumble one actually tasted of apple & cinnamon! They were all, however, incredibly sweet. Surprisingly the dulce de leche one was the least sweet out of them all. It had a real depth of flavour which rich gooey caramel on the inside :)
However, if I’m being completely honest, as yummy as the donuts were, it was not really worth the hype and money. I have definitely had better. I do highly recommend the original Kreme shake though. It has half a donut blended in, and the other half on top! It was rich and creamy, and tasted exactly like a donut. DO NOT get the hokey pokey shake though unless you have a major sweet tooth. It was sickly sweet, even for a sweet tooth like myself!
All in all, may only visit again once the craze has died down :)
Original glazed is best!
Went on opening day. Lined up for 2 minutes and the line was too long.
We went to eat Texas chicken and then came back and waited only 10-15mins.
Got 3 boxes. Glazed is my fav, I ate five of them. The other flavours I could only take a bite and then feed the birds because I have high blood pressure.

Price per donut around $3 each or cheaper if buy box.
The Best donuts in New Zealand the taste of them is amazing they have a lot of flavour and taste just right and fresh the wait of it is worth it !!
Got on the bandwagon and talked myself into waiting 30 minutes in line for these bad boys!
TOTALLY WORTH IT! I don’t even have a sweet tooth and I really enjoyed these donuts! I loved watching the donut making machines while I waited.
My favourites were the original glaze and the cookies and cream! Will be heading back to try the coffee!
Definitely delicious but a bit over hyped.
Donuts taste great, absolutely nothing with them I just think that you could find the satisfying glazed taste else where (dunk n donuts, cafes etc) still yum tho don’t get me wrong.
Got a double dozen of original glazed donuts. The wait took ages. The donuts were worth it, the service wasn’t. Cashier chick was confused about what we wanted and the price, which confused me more. Then said “is that what you wanted?” and took us to the counter instead of “anything else?” nope we waited 45mins to just select glazed donuts... smh donuts were fresh, soft and sweet though, hopefully with more than a week-ish experience they’ll get better at their jobs. Thanks for the donuts!
A friend brought me a box of original glazed, and a box of mixed that he'd bought from the store that morning. I have to say I was disappointed, the donuts didn't live up to the hype for me. The donut texture lacked the texture of really good donuts, there was little flavour other than overwhelming sweetness. My 7 year old summed it up nicely when, after eating his donut, he commented that it was "ok, but not as good as the donut he had on the weekend" from a far superior outlet. Kids don't lie, I couldn't have been more proud that he judged on taste over hype
Finally got to jump into Krispy Kreme bandwagon now that the queue is more bearable as the hype around their doughnuts has subsided.
We ONLY waited 45 minutes in the queue to get their sampler (1 box of glazed; 1 box of any doughnuts), a far cry from the 2hrs-plus wait on average in its first week of operation.
The original glazed doughnut remains my favourite. Will try the other flavours later for glycemic control reasons.
Can't fault the friendly service of all their staff. From the drive thru guide to barista and cashier, everyone wore a smile amidst the non-stop influx of customers.
Went here 2 days after opening. Waited in line for approx 30 minutes with 3 other friends and tried all the doughnuts as a group as well as Cookies and Kreme shake. Tiramisu and Original glazed were my favourite. Shake was delicious too.
Very tasty nice and fluffy very soft texture loved it not to sweet just right it was like biting into a nice candy floss cushions very yummy
Excellent staff and good location. Been waiting for the crowd to die down but these doughnuts were totally worth it. They are sweet but light, fluffy and delicious. The factory was just right next to the store and they bake the doughnuts fresh everyday.
I waited more than 1hour🙀🙀 but it's worth! Even these donuts too sweet for me 🙋🏻 I think they are perfect with iced Americano👏🏼 I will recommend it to my friend。
Delicious!!!! I brought a box of glazed and a box of mixed. Menu/prices attached.
Very sweet but they're so soft and melt in your mouth!
Super good and I could easily eat a dozen by myself.
New opening! So many people wanting to get donuts here, there's lines of people already queueing at 6am in the morning!
It's a bit on the expensive side and a bit too sweet for my liking.
You can get a mixture of assorted donuts or a box of the original glazed.
Welcome to New Zealand Krispy Kreme 😋😋😋
Looking all beautiful on Ronwood ave I see. Fluffy and light.😉😉😉
I'm actually surprised. The donuts were incredibly the lightest donuts I've ever had compared to our normal NZ donuts. I still love our donuts and always will but well done Krispy Kreme 👏👏👏.
Note to parents: I would highly recommend that a child should only have - half a donut. Purely because there is ALOT of sugar in just ONE donut. Plus, you get to eat the other half when they go to bed 😂 👍If you're on a diet and consider this a cheatmeal then just have a bite and give the rest to your friend lol
Just attended the opening of Krispy Kreme NZ and despite the anticipated long wait it was well worth it! The team were super welcoming, offering a free water bottle and a free donut on arrival. You get to see the whole process of the doughnut making through glass windows which heightened the excitement. You then get to place your order, but make sure you have already decided beforehand as the choices are endless and you might end up buying one of each. I decided to buy a dozen of the famous glazed doughnuts as well as a box of assorted and of course topped it off with an original glazed Krispy Kreme shake which has three quarters of a glazed doughnut inside and the remaining quarter on top! Overall such a great experience.

If any of the above salivates your tastebuds, then you will love the new arrival of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, which has just landed in New Zealand! In fact, the first flagship store opens THIS WEDNESDAY (28 February) at 3 Ronwood Avenue in Manukau!
We went on a Saturday morning, probably before it got busy but there was a small queue already.
The staff were friendly, and the restaurant was very spacious. Loved the large area where we get to see the doughnuts on the conveyor belt.
We just got the original glazed doughnuts, and they were light and fluffy.
Overall a nice experience 👍
Love their donuts. Store is spacious and always busy. Toilet is cleaned. Staff are friendly and fast. However there was only one staff at front on the day I visited which made a long wait. Love their coffee too.
Best 🍩 hands down! I got a dozen halloween donuts and I put and took them out of the fridge a few times & then left the rest in the fridge over night and they were still so good the next day! Yum!
I would totally 100% percent recommend people to come here, cheap prices, amazing coffee and donuts.
It is an amazing view to watch the donuts get made in front of you!
Great service, interior decor is fantastic, just an awesome place to visit with consistent product quality. Highly recommended! Not often I say this about a fast food restaurant!
Doughnuts are greatly appealing both in aesthetics and taste and the coffee has been supremely sublime on each visit. Worth supporting this new brand to New Zealand.
Great diversity in its staffing too with a healthy mix of ethnicities which shows an unbiased staffing recruitment attitude. Rare to see.
Beautifully located near Manukau mall , doughnut quality was very good 👍🏻 . Plenty of space to sit and enjoy all the delicious food .
So amazing the people working in Manukau Krispy Cream!! The kids have a blast of time looking the ladies working in the donuts, they were really amazing! Thanks so much!
Excellent services
Delicious and fresh donuts and fantastic staff.
Long line on the weekend.
Loved the variety of flavours. There are plenty of seats inside for eat-in customers, and staff are very efficient at the counter.
Krispy Kreme in New Zealand is wonderful. All the donuts are very tasty minus the jelly filled, but my boyfriend loved them which is why I kept the ratings 5 stars.
