Just ahead of National Coffee Day this year, Krispy Kreme will be adding to its menu with two new coffee-centric creations—a coffee-glazed donut and a coffee that takes flavor inspiration from the chain's Original Glazed donut.
Those who love the Original Glazed donut from Krispy Kreme will soon have the chance to enjoy it in a new way in the form of the Coffee Glazed Donut, but only for a limited time in celebration of the coffee holiday. The Original Glazed Coffee, however, will become a permanent menu item at Krispy Kreme. As Krispy Kreme Doughnuts' VP of US marketing Alison Holder puts it, "our coffee is going doughnuts, and our doughnuts are going coffee!"
