The Good Stuff
Soft texture
Several reviews describe the donuts as soft, fluffy and generously filled rather than greasy.
Pistachio Knafeh
The Pistachio Knafeh donut was praised for its restrained sweetness, crunchy knafeh and nut garnish.
Fast service
Some visits were handled quickly, including a last-minute mini-donut stop before an airport journey.
Clean kiosk
One review found the store or kiosk clean and well organised, even during the Iftar rush.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check freshness. If the display has been sitting for a while, ask whether the donut is fresh; some evening purchases were stale or hard.
Consider bundles. Compare box deals before choosing quantities: one customer found 10 mini donuts were priced similarly to five.
Go earlier. If Original Glazed is your priority, avoid a late visit because the standard flavour has sold out at night.
Check takeaway. Before leaving, check that your order includes tissues and any needed stirrer or sugar, as takeaway extras have been missed.
Expect sweetness. Choose smaller quantities or a less heavily topped option if you do not enjoy very sweet desserts.

The Bottom Line
Krispy Kreme at Dubai Mall is a convenient Downtown Dubai food-court stop for classic and filled donuts, coffee and frozen drinks. The selection is a real draw: reviews mention Pistachio Knafeh, cheesecake, Red Velvet, Lotus and mini-donut boxes, so there is plenty to browse if you do not already know what you want. The strongest food reports describe donuts as soft, fluffy, generously filled and not greasy.
Pistachio Knafeh stood out for its knafeh crunch, nut garnish and relatively restrained sweetness. Coffee gets mixed feedback, although the Lotus coffee frap, Spanish latte and Nutella shake each received praise in individual visits. Freshness is the main reason to pay attention at the counter.
Other customers received dry or stale donuts, including a Lotus donut and a three-donut evening purchase. The shop has also run out of standard glazed donuts at night, so go earlier if that is the one you want. Donuts can be extremely sweet, particularly Lotus and chocolate choices.
Service is inconsistent: some reviewers describe fast, patient and polite help, while others report dismissive treatment and waits of around ten minutes. Takeaway customers should check for tissues and drink extras before leaving. Reported prices include a 14 AED coffee-and-donut combo and 7 AED per doughnut, with bundles sometimes better value.
