Krispy Kreme is celebrating National Coffee Day with a new doughnut that tastes like coffee, and a $5 dozen deal to go with it. The chain’s new Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnut launches today, Sept. 29, along with the promotion. Both offers run through Sept. 29 at participating locations.
The new doughnut
The Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnut is a limited-edition item. Krispy Kreme took its signature melt-in-your-mouth glazed doughnut and infused it with a smooth, subtly bold coffee flavor. It is available for a limited time.
Stacked promotions
Krispy Kreme is running two offers at once. Buy any full-priced dozen on Sept. 29, and you can add a second dozen of either the new coffee-flavored doughnuts or the classic Original Glazed for just $5. The deal applies in-shop and drive-thru, and online too.
In-shop and drive-thru details
At participating locations, guests can redeem up to two $5 dozens per person. The deal is available for pickup and drive-thru purchases.
Online orders
For delivery or pickup, the deal comes with a code. Use the promo code COFFEE at checkout through the Krispy Kreme app or website. There is a limit of one $5 dozen per online order while supplies last.
Free coffee offer
The coffee giveaway runs in-store and through the drive-thru on Sept. 29 only. Order anything, and you get a free small or medium hot or iced coffee with it. The offer is limited to one free drink per person.
How to claim the $5 dozen
The easiest path is the mobile app. Open it, enter the code COFFEE, and place your order for pickup or delivery. The deal is live now and ends Sept. 29.
The catch
There is no catch, really, beyond the usual limits. The $5 dozen is capped at two per person, and the online code is good for one order only. The coffee is free but limited to one per person.
The verdict
This is a fun promotion. The coffee-flavored doughnut is a novelty, and the $5 dozen is a real discount. The free coffee offer is a nice bonus. It is the kind of deal that rewards people who stop by on a Tuesday and gives them a reason to pick up extra doughnuts for the office.
