For years, Krispy Kreme has offered its Original Glazed doughnuts and a lineup of filled, cake and other specialty doughnuts.
But in 84 years never that breakfast classic, the cinnamon roll.
Until now.
For a limited time, Krispy Kreme locations nationwide will sell cinnamon rolls made with yeast-raised dough that is hand-rolled with cinnamon and then dipped into that signature glaze. There’s also one topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, in partnership with General Mills.
Online reviewer Dane Rivera writes in an Uproxx article on the newbies that these aren’t really cinnamon rolls — they’re more like cinnamon roll doughnuts. “While I was disappointed to discover that this wasn’t a legit cinnamon roll, it still delivers on flavor, and that’s all that matters,” Rivera says. “I prefer it to an original Krispy Kreme.”
Want to do your own taste test? According to Krispy Kreme’s chief marketing officer, the cinnamon rolls will be available only through Oct. 10.
And remember to bring your vaccination card. Vaxxed customers get a free Original Glazed every day through the end of the year.
