I had a Krispy Kreme donut years ago from Tesco and my immediate impression was there was no flavour at all. Turns out the ones in the actual cafes are no better. Had a donut filled with nutella coated with chocolate frosting and it might as well have been a ball of sugar filled with sugar coated with sugar. Right at the end I got a microscopic hint of hazelnut but largely everything just tastes sweet with no actual identifiable flavours. Typically American. Coffee was nice and staff were lovely but won't be returning.

I do love this place, the staff are always nice, the window to watch the doh nuts being made is covered at the moment to stop people forming crowds, As usual the seating area is very clean, I have an exemption for mask wearing, but I strongly believe if you can not comply with the mask rules you should stay in, so I always wear a mask, but it can leave me very breathless, the duty manager noticed I was struggling so she got me ice for my drink and got me a seat near the door. You are allowed to remove your mask when eating. I am very grateful for her kindness

Drive 25 min to get donuts only to realise they’d run out. 50 min round trip for nothing, how can a donut shop run out of donuts!

It's rare I leave somewhere with a need to share my experience but I feel I have to take the time to compliment the amazing customer service and fantastic donuts I experienced whilst visiting here. The staff member I dealt with (Sam) was beyond helpful, I wasn't really sure on covid restrictions and didn't really know what was on offer etc but she took the time to go through the products and best direct me, with a friendly personality she made the whole experience stress free. The donuts were delicious (everyone at work agreed) and over all I'm super impressed and will certainly be back.

Luckily arrived when it was quiet and was able to take advantage of the Gov's Eat out/ Help out initiative. Served by Kieron*. Very helpful and friendly, credit to the store. BEWARE seen many people disappointed in the past as they load up on doughnuts and then get denied discount as the venue is at its newly reduced capacity. Discount is only available to dine in, but as your clever you probably knew that.

The coffee was actually amazing. Would never normally get a coffee from here however the iced coffee was really nice. What’s better to go with donuts than a coffee. They should make a meal deal with donuts and coffee. The original glazed donuts is just perfect. However I’m not very happy that they have increased the price even more.

Disgusting customer service by Sam and Lana basically laughed at me and my family. We were ignored then told we were stressing out a 30 week pregnant lady (lana). I would never return to this shop as we were treated so badly we couldn't even eat out donuts with the feeling of disgust. No manager was available to complain too. You desperately need to sort these staff members out!!!

Dropped in here for some doughnuts and had the surprise to see that this particular Krispy creme outlet is where they make all the donuts for all the Krispy Kreme’s in the north-east of England! If you come between 7 pm and 8 pm you can even have a freshly glazed doughnut straight off the conveyor belt. Bought some doughnuts whilst here and the staff were more than willing to talk about the process of making donuts and there donuts we bought from here were absolutely delicious.

They were really cool and family friendly as we wanted to play a lot as well as eat doughnuts The doughnuts were fresh and tasty and they had activity packs. We’ve been told if you go between 7-8 on a Monday to Friday night you get get warm original glazed straight off the belt. The best time for the doughnut show otherwise is 2pm.Really recommend the Easter lemon glaze doughnut bites.

In with my wife and two of my children. Asked if the Cloudy Lemonade was fizzy, told yes but when my kids tried it, it was not. Went and asked to change it as misinformed to be told, we don't do fizzy lemonade and you would have 2 buy 2 new drinks. Staff member was not budging and refused to help resolve. Awful customer service and now have to go somewhere else. Very poor do not go here with young kids!

We called in early this week for a coffee, hot chocolate and two doughnuts. We were served by Keiran who was lovely, so polite and natural. When he came to serve us I said we would be a while as we were having difficulty choosing as there were so many to pick from. He asked what we particularly liked, to which I replied, 'All of them!!' Anyhow we chose two doughnuts and with the drinks it came to £5.90. Great value!

I was surprised to see the price of some of the doughnuts on sale, and as much as the flavours are unique, I don't thinks they're any better quality than the pack of Asda doughnuts you would get for half the price. I daren't ask how much my partner pad for a box on 12. The seat cushion was loose, not a problem in itself, but the amount of old food and crumbs underneath was worrying. Many of the empty tables had empty cups and crumbs left on them for some time, and the floor had just as much old food over it. I saw someone clear the tables once, but no one attested to wipe the tables or clean the floor. The only reassuring thing about it was that you can see the doughnuts being made, and this area didn't look as neglected. I probably won't return out of choice. Not worth the cost.

Great place to grab a coffee and/or a doughnut - pricey but that's what Krisy Kreme is all about really! Don't forget your NHS Discount mind!!Great location with easy parking & clean, comfortable booths as well as a handy drive-through. Service is great.You can also watch the doughnut factory & see them being made - everything's visible so no hidden horrors while they're cooking - you can see it's spotless!Only problem is during the kids holidays they can get groups of unruly teens so avoid those times if you can!Also remember even if you're on a diet - they do non-fancy (low cal) coffee & a great drinks selection so it's still a go to place even if you're not getting a doughnut (believe me I managed to resist!).Great for meeting friends before or after a trip to the Metrocentre to avoid not seeing them in the crowd.

I was skeptical at first about this place but damn is it great for doughnuts. There's a massive variety of delicious flavours. Clean diner and we'll manner, friendly staff. It's a bit expensive with each doughnut being about 1.50, 12 for 12 of your own or 9 for 12 glazed rings but they are worth it. The Krispy Kreme paraphernalia is extortionate but at least they don't force it on you like other places. Needs a loyalty scheme though I think.

I visited with my brother during a shopping trip to Newcastle. We parked just outside and as we walked in the smell of doughnuts freshly baking was incredible! We really liked that we could see the doughnuts being made through a large glass panel. We approached the counter area and the displays of doughnuts were beautifully presented. We stood back whilst we made the difficult decision of which doughnuts to choose! We eventually decided on a peanut butter one, a limited edition love bug one and a caramel one. This box of 3 was £4.50. Quite pricey but the doughnuts tasted amazing. The staff were great, so polite and friendly and there were a lot of comfy places to sit inside and enjoy your purchases! The place was spotless and the atmosphere was fun. We will definitely be back!

I was curious to see so many negative reviews about the staff... I've got nothing but positive remarks about them. My daughter absolutely loves this place and the staff always make a fuss over her. We've only had one complaint when the milk for the coffee was off and it was instantly replaced and upgraded and a free voucher given as way of an apology. My father is diabetic and they even made the effort to take some doughnuts off the belt before the sugar was added for him. OK... the doughnuts are nowhere near the best I've tasted but then I've been to Red's in Monterey, California which often wins awards for the best in the entire USA. AND, they're not as good as the one's I've had in Japan either - would love to see an old fashion cinnamon doughnut on offer. But to say that the doughnuts in Tesco or Greggs are better... you've got to have no taste buds in your head to make a comment like that.

Kids party for 7 yr old boys was a bit rowdy and crazy so apologies to any regular customers but thanks to Emma and Karen you did a great job keeping them entertained and in check. They had doughnut colouring in, Chinese whispers, balloon passing game, guided tour explaining how they are made, dunking and decorate your own doughnut (licking chocolate icing off your fingers compulsory) juice, donut birthday "cake" and balloons and all enjoyed it. A good party alternative for winter birthdays when choice can be limited (we combined it with a few goes on the dodgems at Namco beforehand). Now just have to eat our way through the free dozen and the iced dozen that made up the cake, its a hard life.

My honest opinion of this place is that its one of the most overrated & over hyped place out there and that the brutal truth.First of all there is so many doughnuts anyone can eat in one sitting and spending £12 on a box of doughnuts is in my opinion is just insane, but tell that to my wife lol , my thoughts of this place is that they are overpriced , over hyped, too sweet . We have also visited this place in different locations and its just the same I think the service is poor and the staff presentation is somewhat lacking often wearing uniform with food stains which does not give customers confidence on hygiene levels, we have also tried there drinks which we bought for the kids and these are very disappointing , we actually saw how they made it as the serving areas is sort of open kitchen style they used 2 cartons of different fruit juice brands I do not care to disclose here but trust me there are much better brands out there, blended it with ice and then put in some syrup not very original! When the kids had a taste they didn't like it and left it after 1 sip of it which basically tells the story there , I thought to myself I paid good money for these drinks so it cant be that bad so I decided to try it for myself best described as very syrupy cough medicine and this is putting it kindly. I know each to their own when it comes to reviewing eat out places but I really don't understand why people can rate this place so high , maybe because its the new place to be seen or a sort of status thing where your eating at a place that is so darn expensive. To conclude your better off buying your doughnuts from your local supermarket such as tesco , asda etc or even greggs as they are just as nice if not better and the money your saving put that to one side and buy all your status symbol items from the money saved.

I had my first Krispy Kreme in New York and my first UK version in Selfridges nothing changes, the Metro Centre drive through is a revelation and the coffee is better than Starbucks too.

When Krispy Kreme was being built outside of the metro centre, I figured I would never visit because you had to leave the indoors, but I visit very regularly with friends and have a coffee there, but I also like to pick up some doughnuts on my way home from shopping for me and my mam when I am in Newcastle Eldon Square. The doughnuts are as described, krispy and kreme(y) and you can watch them being made, book tours around the factory and you even get a free Krispy Kreme hat every time you visit.

Bought about 5 boxes for my party went down a storm. Friendly staff advised me on a mixture of donuts. So glad we have a local crispy cream.

Was told about this place by a student of mine. Being a bit of a pastry lover I knew I had to check it out and boy oh boy am I glad I did!! 16 DIFFERENT types of doughnuts. A box of a dozen doughnuts costs £10.95, so by the dozen they are really, really good value. The quality of them is ace and they taste amazing. All fresh and full of fillings. When you walk into the restaurant you can see and smell the 'doughnut theatre' where all the doughnuts are made freshly on the premises. From apple and cinnamon to full on double choc delights. We were served by one extremely friendly and helpful waitress. As we'd never been before she gave us a little description of each doughnut and joked on with us the entire time. Some individual doughnuts cost £1.65 but with the dozen box, the price goes right down. Lots of other little novelty products on sale too, from the doughnut styled chocs to doughnut cuff-links. Before we left the store the manager come over to us and gave us a little booklet all about the merchandise. We found the place to be spotless and the staff top notch. Will be going back to treat myself sometime soon. Well worth driving out to the metro centre to find this place or pop in after a shopping spree.

I took my nephew here the other day and was shocked by the state of the uniforms being worn by the front of house staff- they were really dirty and grubby looking. And this was 3 out of the 4 staff on duty at the time! I don`t think it`s the sort of image that Krispy Kreme would be proud of, especially as the shop was very clean and tidy.

Can't say much about this place, went for a coffee and a doughnut but frankly the doughnuts are no better than you get alot cheaper in Greggs.

It's odd having such a large Doughnut shop on your doorstep but getting to see the machine making doughnuts is pretty cool.They're pricey but you already knew that before reading my review.They're made fresh on site and they've not been made the previous day or been out in the air. It's a fluffier softer doughnut and the options they have will amaze you.What you want to hear is that the staff seem genuinely happy to be there, serve with a smile and though it's conveyor-belt service. (Get in, get out) Saturday and Sunday peak Metrocentre hours DO NOT TRY AND PARK, If I were you I wouldn't even use the drive through, it's a parking nightmare, you have no priority over the multistory carpark traffic. You can get stuck for what seems an age. If I were you, come out of the Yellow Exit (Bowling Alley/Arcades) and walk over. It's really not far like a minute walk and they've even put in a Zebra crossing. and yes...A box will not last. Best get the 2 boxes deal they do :-)

Overpriced and overrated! Prefer doughnuts from Greggs or Tesco bakery! The service wasn't so good; was asked what I wanted when I was stood way back in a large queue and without being able to see a menu anywhere or what was available at the small counter. Also not enough seating and tables. A lot of hype over something just because its come from America.

Well. Krispy Kreme does not disappoint at all! With an American ambience about it, the place is amazing. Although my mam didn't think so, I think £9.75 for 12 donuts is quite good because it's less than £1 for a donut, so I bought the assorted 12 box.OH MY GOD. They are beautiful, so so so worth the money!! However, I could not get through all 12 within the 2-day expiry date so I had to share them, something I was not originally planning on doing...When we entered, we were not sure where to queue as I did not know where the assorted boxes were, and when we asked we were taken straight to a till instead of waiting in line for the box of donuts. The service is really quick due to this, as there is already pre-packed 12 boxes of donuts at the till.Lovely lovely place, so clean and so tasty. Once again, we thank you USA

What a big selection we just wanted to try them all. They are the best. Service is very poor though, esp if you order hot drinks. We ate our doughnuts and went back for more before we got our hot drinks. Then they tried to give me a cold hot chocolate which had been standing god knows how long. One lady told us to sit and said she would bring them over, the lady who did bring them over said we should of waited at the end of the counter. This needs to be sorted.

Donuts are amazing but I don't always want something sweet. Altogether though, they are the best donuts ever with lots of choice!

You have GOT to try this place - may be a bit on the pricey side for a donut but the selection is fantastic and I'm no donut expert but these are really tasty!!! I'll be going back (to try the other flavours) but I won't be rushing as I'm still trying to work off the calories from my first visit.

I love visiting Krispy Kreme, the staff are always friendly and smiley, the atmosphere is vibrant and bright and the doughnuts are delicious! There are many different flavours to choose from and sometimes you receive a free doughnut while you're in the queue which are hot and fresh off the production line. The coffee matches the doughnuts perfectly and the whole place is spotlessly clean. Worth a visit if you happen to be at the Metro Centre.

visited here for a big treat for my son's birthday. on arrival the restaurant looked very clean and bright. you can see the doughnuts getting made and while we were standing there we were given a free doughnut which was nice. there are lots of doughnuts on the shelf and you can decide which ones you want. we got a box of 12 which the lady stated were the best value and would last approx 3 days. the doughnuts were in lots of flavours and looked very pleasing on the eye!!! just a shame they were not fat free / calorie free!! the coffee was nice too and there were a few pieces of krispy kreme merchandise to buy like cups / gift vouchers / tins etc. there were balloons there and a krispy kreme hat to wear for the kids. i would imagine it will get very busy at weekends. toilets were very clean. the staff were friendly.

Nice food but service was not the best, not given enough knives and forks for the table, we were given a pizza box to box away our own leftovers which I thought was a bit weird
