Krispy Kreme in North Seattle, WA

I finally had Krispy Kreme donuts. Surprisingly it is not so commonly found in Western part of North America. After a successful start in Canada when it first opened, with long lines of customers, the franchise (or company which brought it to Canada) went bankrupt after 2-3 years. No more Krispy Kreme stores in Canada, except for 6 locations. 6 stores in the entire Canada (2nd largest country in the world, how sad is that?) They can be found in Mississauga, ON, Delta, BC, Montreal, Laval, Quebec City in Quebec and Calgary, AB. These 6 stores are controlled directly from the US.

So it is not a wonder that I don't see so many stores, unlike other bakeries/fast food joints like Tom Hortons, Dairy Queen, etc.

So finally I got to try the donuts from Krispy Kreme again, fresh from the fryer in North Seattle :p Funnily I didn't really see it in downtown Seattle though a search online showed that there is actually a store just 1 block away from Pike Place.

The box of a dozen donuts
What we got: original glazed, chocolate iced kreme filled, chocolate iced with sprinkles, glazed raspberry filled, glazed lemon filled, chocolate iced cake, maple iced glazed

Rows of donuts
Half-eaten original glazed. Look at the amount of sugar in there! Simply too sweet to finish

Chocolate iced kreme filled with peppermint latte. The coffee is surprisingly pretty good.

Here is my verdict on KK donuts. It is simply too sweet for my liking. Granted it is quite soft but just not that fantastic. I still very much prefer Donut Factory in Singapore. Tim Horton's donuts are sweet too but not as sweet as Krispy Kreme.

We almost dumped the entire box of donuts away. Lol. I took it back and gave to my friends back in Vancouver, so nothing was wasted. Or not that I know of. I only tried 3 donuts.
