Krispy Kreme has been serving fresh, hot Original Glazed doughnuts since 1937. The brand is known for baking in-store daily and handing them over warm right off the line.
For any help and support, call their customer support at 1-800-457-4779 for the fastest response. For non-urgent issues like a refund on missing delivery items or a delayed pickup, you can also fill out the contact form on their contact us page.
The Krispy Kreme app is where rewards members find the best rotating deals. Past offers have included Original Glazed Dozens for $7.99 during Hot Light Happy Hour, buy-one-get-one dozen deals, and free seasonal doughnuts with a purchase.
Deals change fast. Some only run during set hours or short windows, so what you see this week may be gone the next. If you visit Krispy Kreme more than once a month, the app pays for itself quickly.
To get the most out of it, turn on push notifications. That way, flash sales hit your phone the moment they go live. Also, open the offers tab before you pay to see every deal active that day.
Krispy Kreme posts short deals on Instagram, X, and Facebook. Anyone can grab them, no rewards account needed. Past offers have included BOGO dozens, $2 add-on dozens, and free doughnut giveaways tied to trending moments or brand collabs.
These deals usually last just 24 to 72 hours. That number goes up around food holidays like National Doughnut Day, Talk Like a Pirate Day, and Day of the Dozens.
There's one catch to know. These deals only work at participating U.S. shops. That leaves out grocery store counters, convenience store locations, Puerto Rico, and Canada. So if your closest Krispy Kreme sits inside a gas station or supermarket, you'll save more with the app and its rewards offers instead.
For pickup or drive-thru orders, you can change or cancel before the shop starts preparing your order. Call the shop directly using the number on your confirmation email. Once they've started making your doughnuts, it is up to the staff whether they can still cancel. When a refund does go through, expect three to five business days for the money to land back on your card.
Delivery orders placed through Krispy Kreme are tougher to cancel because they go out fast. An order that shows up late, missing items, or wrong is worth a call to the shop on your confirmation first. They can refund you or send a replacement. When they can't help, contact Krispy Kreme guest support.
Orders placed through DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Grubhub are a different story, since Krispy Kreme cannot see your order or process your refund. You have to go through the app you ordered from, which means using their in-app help or chat.
You get refunded what you actually paid after the discount, not the regular price. So getting a second dozen for $2 with a BOGO code and later returning one gets you the discounted amount back, not $14.99. Sales tax and service fees are refunded in proportion to what you returned. Delivery fees stay non-refundable unless the delivery itself failed.
Single-use promo codes can also get burned on a canceled order, which means you can't reuse the code on a replacement.
Snap a photo of any missing item, wrong order, or quality issue before you call. Having proof on hand cuts the back-and-forth and usually gets a refund approved faster.

December 12: Day of the Dozens
Buy any regular-priced dozen and a second Original Glazed dozen drops to $1. It works in-shop or online with the promo code at participating U.S. locations. Most years it beats Black Friday on a per-doughnut basis, so a holiday party or office breakfast on the calendar makes this the date to stock up.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Black Friday runs a $2 Original Glazed dozen with any dozen purchase, in-shop only. These sell out fast, often within the first couple of hours, so rolling in mid-morning won't cut it.
Cyber Monday goes a different route with gift card bonuses, like a free $5 card when you load $25. It only really pays off for regulars who already swing by Krispy Kreme a few times a year. Otherwise, the credit sits in your account doing nothing.
Always-free "Costume" Days
Krispy Kreme also gives away doughnuts on a few costume days with no rewards account or purchase needed. July 4th gets you a free Original Glazed for wearing red, white, and blue. Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19 hands out a free dozen for full pirate gear, or a single doughnut just for saying "arrr." Any Halloween costume on October 31 earns you another free Original Glazed.
Only one code per order, and codes never stack with each other. But you can pair a promo code with a rewards point redemption at checkout, which is the way to double up on savings.
On desktop:
Add doughnuts, Dots, or coffee to your cart and click the bag icon at the top right.
On the checkout page, find the "Have a Promo Code?" field on the right side of the order summary.
Paste the code exactly as written since codes are case-sensitive, then click "Apply."
Check that the discount shows up on your subtotal before placing the order.
In the mobile app:
Tap the cart icon at the bottom of the screen.
Scroll down to the order summary and tap "Add a Promo Code."
Enter the code and tap "Apply." The discount should appear above your subtotal.
For member-exclusive app offers, no code is needed. Just open the "Offers" tab, tap the deal, and follow the prompts before checkout.
In-shop or drive-thru:
Open the Krispy Kreme app and go to the "Offers" tab.
Tap the offer you want to redeem to pull up the barcode.
Show the barcode to the cashier before they ring up your order.
When a code doesn't work, it usually comes down to one of a few things.
Typos and trailing spaces
The offer may have expired
Some codes need a minimum subtotal or a specific product in the cart
Coupons only work for pickup, delivery, or drive-thru, not all three
Codes also don't work in Puerto Rico, at grocery store counters, or in convenience store locations.
Worth knowing on the delivery side:
A promo code only takes money off your product subtotal, not the delivery fee, service fee, or sales tax. The only exception is a free-delivery promo, which waives the fee on its own and usually doesn't need a code.
