The Good Stuff
Classic glazed
The classic glazed remains a reliable favourite, with one reviewer calling it their go-to donut beyond the Harry Potter collaboration.
Flavour choice
Customers mention a broad selection, including hazelnut and pistachio varieties, so there is more to explore than the standard glazed.
Coffee pairing
Coffee works well as part of a donut break: reviews mention decent cappuccino, good mocha and a donut-and-coffee offer.
Welcoming service
Many visits are described as friendly and cheerful, with customers specifically noting warm smiles, patience and helpful service.
Family friendly
One review found the donuts good quality and not too sugary, while children particularly enjoyed them.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask promotions. Ask specifically about same-day offers before paying; one customer asked but was not told about a buy-one-get-one AED 1 deal.
Check freshness. If freshness matters, check the selection before ordering: one morning visit was disappointing despite the early hour.
Avoid rush. Allow extra time or visit outside busy periods; reviews describe the shop as busy and mention difficulty handling large crowds.
Choose glazed. For a safer first order, try the classic glazed, which one reviewer described as their favourite go-to choice.
Watch coffee. If ordering coffee, be aware that strength and taste may vary; one review says it can be diluted with extra water.
Bring water. If you want inexpensive bottled water, check the current option first; a review reports a move from local water to smaller Evian bottles.

The Bottom Line
Krispy Kreme Mall of the Emirates is a convenient Al Barsha stop for donuts, coffee and frozen drinks. The classic glazed is the clearest crowd favourite, while the hazelnut donut and pistachio variety give flavour-seekers something different. A cappuccino or mocha makes it easy to turn a quick purchase into a coffee break, and children were reported to enjoy the donuts because they were not overly sugary.
Freshness and texture are usually strong points. One long-time customer still praised the donuts’ softness and lack of oiliness, and another described them as fresh. There are occasional complaints, though: some visitors found the donuts less tasty than they looked, and one morning review reported stale donuts.
Coffee is less predictable, with comments ranging from decent cappuccino to burnt or diluted coffee. Service is the main thing to keep in mind. Many customers describe warm smiles and helpful staff, but others report being ignored, spoken to dismissively or treated rudely.
Ask about promotions before paying, since one customer missed a buy-one-get-one AED 1 offer. Water also costs more than it once did according to a review, with smaller Evian bottles replacing the former local-water option.
