About Krispy Kreme Swanston St

If you're after a doughnut fix in the CBD, the Swanston St Krispy Kreme is a compact shop built for grabbing something sweet and heading off. Locals describe it as a small, handy store where you step in, order your doughnuts and a coffee, and go. Takeaway is the main way people use it, though delivery and in-store pick-up are on offer too, and there's a dine-in option for anyone who'd rather settle in for a bit. Seating is limited, so it suits a quick stop better than a long sit-down.

The Original Glazed is the one everyone knows, and it's a delight any day of the week, though it's at its best fresh and warm. If you can time your visit for a batch coming off the line, that's the way to do it. Beyond the glazed, we hear love for the cookies and cream, the apple crumble (think apple pie with cinnamon, crunchy crumbs and custard) and the strawberry shortcake. One local even said they'd never been a doughnut person until they tried the cookies and cream.

It's not only doughnuts, either. They do barista coffee, hot chocolate through winter and cold shakes when the weather warms up, so it works for a morning coffee, a dessert stop or a birthday box. Locals also point to good value on a coffee-and-doughnuts combo.

Staff are friendly and helpful. People talk about friendly, quick service. One local was so happy with the counter service that they asked for a particular team member to get a raise. As with any busy doughnut shop, freshness can vary, and one visitor found their doughnuts weren't at their best, so it pays to ask what's just come out.

The shop is open late most nights, with an easy walk-in layout, a wheelchair-accessible entrance and card and mobile payments accepted. Check the hours before you head in.
