Krispy Kreme is trying out a menu with 9 new doughnuts. Raleigh is a test market
Perhaps best known for a single iconic doughnut, Krispy Kreme has picked Raleigh to test out some new flavors.
The glazed doughnut giant has picked the Raleigh market to audition nine new flavors, which could become permanent fixtures on Krispy Kreme menus.
“We love bringing our fans more flavors that they love,” said Krispy Kreme chief growth officer Dave Skena in a news release. “These delicious new doughnut varieties have been heavily requested, and we can’t wait to see our fans’ reaction We’re always coming up with new ideas. This test will assure that these new flavors are exactly the right additions to our line-up of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts.”
The nine new flavors mark the return of some favorite limited-time offerings, plus diner requests and some Krispy Kreme inventions.
The new doughnuts are on sale now.
Here are the nine new doughnuts landing on the Krispy Kreme menu.
- New York Cheesecake – a plain doughnut dipped in white icing, topped with crushed graham crackers and filled with cheesecake-flavored cream.

- Biscoff Cookie Butter Kreme – a plain doughnut filled with Biscoff Cookie Butter flavored cream, dipped in Biscoff cookie butter and Biscoff cookie pieces, then drizzled with white icing.

- Cinnamon Apple Filled – a plain doughnut coated with sweetened powdered cinnamon and filled with apple cinnamon filling.
