There is a God - Krispy Kreme in Reading
Was just randomly checking their site and they open a shop in Readings Oracle Shopping Centre on May 4th. Amazing how quickly they are opening stores.
Anyone else a fan of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts?

Yes!
How could anyone not be a fan!? If vegetables tasted like them there wouldn't be any issues with people having 5 a day.

I love them but have to eat a corresponding amount of Zantac because they give me really bad acid.

Lol cool to know Im not just the only one. Pretty much every time I go to London I come back with a double dozen that disappears within 24hrs
There is one at Tesco in Slough but that means actually going to and driving through Slough. I did it once when I was going cold turkey but never again.

The plain ones are the best, especially if you get them still warm.

The 'hot and freshly made' light on the KK at the side of the A3 is like a flame to a moth....

Ah KK, absolutley fantastic. There's a drive through KK locally where the subaru chaps hold a meet.
+1 for Tim Hortons too. Good, normal coffee and donuts, very well priced too.

Today is the day. Apparently local radio station 2Ten FM are down at the Riverside from 11am to open the shop and give away loads of free donuts. Shame Im stuck at work.
Think I will stop in on my way to Reading Beer Festival this afternoon

I think the key is the freshness. Made daily in store. And maybe the fact they have 30 varieties

Sounds cool but not good for the weight control though Puff!
