Krispy Kreme has spent all year rotating through hit flavors, and its latest move brings back a fan-favorite that hasn't been on shelves in years.
Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnuts are returning for a short window timed around National Coffee Day, and they're bringing a deal along with them.
What Makes This Doughnut Different
The doughnut starts with Krispy Kreme's signature pillowy yeast doughnut base, but instead of the classic glaze, it's covered in a sweet topping infused with bold coffee flavor. It's a departure from the chain's usual fruit and dessert-inspired flavors, leaning instead into a more grown-up, café-style profile.
A Flavor With History
This isn't the first time Krispy Kreme has released this particular doughnut. The flavor first debuted back in 2018 and quickly built a loyal following, with fans at the time calling it one of the best glaze flavors the chain had ever put out. Its return nearly a decade later gives longtime fans a chance to revisit a favorite, while newer customers get to try it for the first time.
A Deal Worth Knowing About
As with many Krispy Kreme launches, this one comes paired with a discount. While supplies last, customers can get a dozen Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnuts for $5 with the purchase of any dozen at regular price. The deal is limited to two redemptions per guest in-shop or at the drive-thru, or one redemption through the mobile app using the promo code COFFEE.
Where and When to Get It
The coffee-flavored doughnuts are only available from September 26 through September 29, which lines up with National Coffee Day. To mark the occasion on the final day, Krispy Kreme is also giving away free small or medium coffees with any purchase, making it worth a stop even if you've already tried the doughnut.
The Takeaway
With a run of just four days, this is one of the more limited windows Krispy Kreme has offered for a returning flavor. If coffee and doughnuts sound like your ideal pairing, this is the week to make it happen.
