Krispy Kreme Acacia Ridge

If you're in Acacia Ridge and a doughnut craving hits, Krispy Kreme here is easy to find and easy to use. It's a donut shop with a drive-through, so you can stay in the car, and there's also dine-in, in-store pick-up, takeaway and delivery. Click and collect through their website gets a good word from people who've used it, and the pickup is described as smooth and efficient.

The Original Glazed is the name on the sign and the one locals keep going back to, though there's a good spread of other flavours. Biscoff and tiramisu both get fond mentions, and the tiramisu tends to go early in the day. Beyond doughnuts you'll find shakes, savoury bagels, and barista-style coffee. Opinion on the coffee and the sweeter drinks is a little split: some people say it pairs nicely, others find it fairly average and a bit pricey. Where people agree is that the doughnuts are what you come for. One thing to know is that they aren't made fresh in the shop, so don't expect them warm off the line.

The shop itself gets praise for being big, spacious and very clean, with plenty of seating and a diner-style feel. One visitor compared it to an American diner where teenagers would hang out after school, while another found the bright white lighting a touch clinical. Parking is generous, and there's wheelchair-accessible parking, an accessible entrance and an accessible toilet.

Staff are a highlight. People mention friendly, polite service and a welcoming counter, with Kailee and Letisia named by name for being helpful and kind. Value comes up too, especially when buying a dozen for a birthday or office morning tea. One local flagged that the birthday doughnut offer needs a membership, so read the fine print first.

It's also a handy spot for a late-night sweet fix, with hours that stretch into the evening most days. Check the hours before you head in.

One local also reported finding a cockroach in a box of takeaway doughnuts, which Krispy Kreme refunded and escalated for investigation. It's only fair to mention it alongside the otherwise warm word around the shop.
