Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

Krispy Kreme is my favourite place to shop for freshly baked doughnuts. I have a long history of a love for doughnuts ever since holidays in the USA as a kid and having Dunkin Donuts. Dunkin Donuts did have 8 stores at one point in the UK but these all closed in 2002 due to low sales-so it's surprising that Krispy Kreme has done so well in the UK.

There was a time when I was bereft of these delicacies! Indeed when I lived in Bristol they were just something I’d heard of on the television, like Dunkin Donuts and Twinkies. Then, during a trip to London my partner offered to take me shopping and get me something he know I’d love. Oxford Street and Diamonds, Camden Market and a new outfit, nope Tesco and Krispy Kremes. Although I do have to thank him for them now. Apart from London, the most popular place I’ve found them is Manchester, which is excellent as I now live there! You’ll find them in the larger Tesco’s, they also have a couple of ... more
