Krispy Kreme opens donut cafe at Suntec City with exclusive new flavours

Known for popularising the glazed donut, Krispy Kreme is a name that is familiar to sweet-toothed fans around the world. 

The donut chain, which landed in Singapore in October 2013, has operated largely as takeaway stores for your donut and coffee cravings.

While its Great World City outlet had seating for 30 people when it opened in 2014, the seating area has since closed.

The brand has given its Suntec City outlet an overhaul, complete with new furnishings and a seating area. Its flagship store now boasts a new cafe experience for donut aficionados. Launched on April 14, the store can seat around 16, going by our estimation. 

Although the tables are small, each of them is accompanied by a plug, making it a work-friendly spot. Whether you’d be able to withstand long hours doing work on the small tables is another question.

The chain also has a standard set of drinks available on its menu, which you can find here as well as at its other outlets. From coffee-based drinks to its Chillers (S$6.90), an ice-blended drink, there is a sizeable number of options available at the cafe.

Fans of Krispy Kreme will be delighted to hear that the stall also has its iconic paper hat by the entrance, which you can take home with you as a keepsake.

Store-exclusive flavours and promos 

Aside from a new space, the world-famous brand has also introduced three flavours unique to the outlet at Suntec City: Matcha Crunch, Choco Bomb and Espress-o (S$4.20 each).

The Espress-o seems to be the most interesting flavour of the three, as matcha and chocolate flavours are featured on Krispy Kreme’s permanent flavour lineup in other variations. 

It comprises coffee powder and a coffee drizzle that packs a punch. It’s perfect for people who prefer strong, bold flavours with a slight bitterness — much like an espresso shot. 

Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with the decadent Choco Bomb or Matcha Crunch.

The former is a classic flavour packed with chocolate filling in the middle and topped with even more chocolate. It’s finished with chocolate shavings and mini wafer rolls atop the donut.

The latter is a matcha-flavoured stuffed donut that is topped with Oreo bits for that extra bit of crunch. The matcha flavour is pleasant without being too overwhelming.
