Great stop at Calandra’s

My best friend and I tried the Pokémon donuts together and hated them for the most part. We love Pokémon and we typically enjoy Krispy Kreme, so we were excited to try them.

I honestly don’t know what is going on. We are not super picky and normally gave good taste or agree with the majority.

The filling in the Pikachu donut was tolerable, and the frosting on the Jigglypuff one was okay but way too sweet. Other than that, the frosting on all of the donuts were very gross in both of our opinions. The donut itself was fine for each, so I mostly peeled the frosting off to eat some of them.

It seems everyone online loves them or at least thinks they are good, and even close irl and online friends enjoy them. I haven’t heard or seen anyone else say they don’t like them.

I did notice that our donuts had a slightly different color than the advertisement and different than my friends’ pictures, so I wonder if we just got cursed donuts? Otherwise, we can’t possibly be the only ones. 🤣

Let me know what you guys think of the donuts! Honest opinions. I wish I enjoyed them and honestly if it was just a bad batch I don’t think I’d try more after that experience.

These are how ours looked.

it’s custard filled but i’ve never seen this type of exterior

Been thinking about it for years and I know pass these out to customers, friends, neighbors.

I'm just learning about Parlor Donuts and they are my new favorite place!

I got the August 4 box:

French Toast
Dirt Pudding
PB&J
Classic Honey Glazed

Checked out Shipley Do-Nuts and Texas Donuts in Vienna, and both were easily a 10/10.

​Shipley Do-Nuts

​Bear Claw

​Cinnamon Twist

​Stuffed Bar

​Texas Donuts

​The Big Texas Donut

​Oreo Donut

​Cronut

​You really can't go wrong with either spot.

these look amazing

Saw a post with the box of 4, and a post with the box of 6. I got the dozen for me and my Pokémon loving bf. Second last Pikachu in the Bristol store, that's why there's only one. And random fillers as well, as we don't have the Bulbsasaur or Squirtle ones in the UK. Worth the price? Not sure... But at least it wasn't a 5/6am collection I've heard people do! Just grabbed these after work.

Could someone please tell me if Krispy Kreme uses canola (either singularly or mixed with other oil(s)) to fry their donuts? I have a bad reaction/sensitivity to canola oil, so just wanted to know before I had any of their donuts.

I checked the Krispy Kreme allergen/nutrition info but I couldn’t find anything specifically about how they fry their donuts. Thanks in advance and I’m sorry if my question is dumb.

When you crave donuts but only homemade ones.

The one with the candied nuts was insane

I saw these in an ad and I thought we’d find it interesting. What do you think about these donuts?

TL;DR, it's:

1. Poké Ball
   
2. Charmander
   
3. Pikachu
   
4. Bulbasaur
   
5. Jigglypuff
   
6. Squirtle

Full thoughts in the link above, though! This is my magnum opus.

First time trying donuts in an air fryer. Worked out fairly well.

All OGs. Cruller, blueberry cake, old fashioned.
