The Lemon Glaze Krispy Kreme Donut Is Coming Back For A Limited Time

Spring may have just sprung, but Krispy Kreme is already looking ahead to summer. The donut chain has re-released an old favorite that you’re either going to love or hate — the Lemon Glaze donut. Is that a pucker of delight, or…?

According to the Krispy Kreme website, the Lemon Glaze donut will only be available at select Krispy Kreme locations for one week online. From Monday, April 22nd, through Sunday, April 28th, you can pick up one or a dozen Lemon Glaze donuts for your citrus-loving friends.

“Lemon Glazed Doughnuts feature the perfect pairing of zesty fresh lemon and Krispy Kreme’s delicious Original Glaze,” Krispy Kreme writes.

You can check out Krispy Kreme’s site to see which stores in your area are participating in the limited-time event. Or, you know, to see which stores to avoid in order to beat the crowds.

The Lemon Glaze Krispy Kreme first appeared in April 2018 after America voted to add it to the menu. Like it did back in 2018, the Lemon Glaze donut is helping to usher in an entire selection of fruit-flavored, limited-edition donuts. Strawberry, Pineapple, and Lime Krispy Kremes will join Lemon Glaze on Monday, May 6th, so don’t ruin your appetite.

And these new fruit flavors are definitely a big step away from the original glazed. Just check out those frosting jobs:

Holy sweet baby doughnuts! Not only is lemon glazed returning to Krispy Kreme, but they are also releasing three new flavors! New filled strawberry, pineapple, and key lime doughnuts will be out at Krispy Kreme from May 6 through June 16!! https://t.co/QJgDQCUhrY pic.twitter.com/KxsviVA61l

People were pretty freaking stoked about the introduction of the Lemon Glaze donuts back in 2018. The general consensus was that they were the bomb.com.

Lemon glazed donuts from krispy kreme.. Yup

They’re also comparable to Dunkin’s attempt at a lemon donut. Sorry for the shade, but it’s true.

All in all, the Lemon Glaze Krispy Kremes were a must try. So, many did.

PSA: The lemon glazed donut at Krispy Kreme is a must try.

But, as is often the way, others weren’t impressed. The Lemon Glaze donuts were so-so, at best.

Some felt the need to attack the entire lemon-loving community. There’s nothing wrong with a cheese board, Annalyse.

What board meeting resulting in discontinuing the Nutella Krispy Kreme and replacing it with.... a lemon, LEMON glazed donut! Who is the monster that eats lemon desserts - the same one who eats custard slices and opts for the cheese board instead of dessert 😖

Others argued, why try to fix something that isn’t broken? The original is just fine — no matter the season.

Nope. Don't mess with the original. 😋

Haters are just going to hate. There’s no way around it.

At least some people are excited for the Lemon Glaze’s return. Thank you, Denise.

And hey, if Lemon Glaze isn’t your thing, Krispy Kreme will always have plenty of original donuts to go around. Thank goodness for that.

Okay, so how come no one told me that a Krispy Kreme donut is basically an orgasm in food form?

Plus, Krispy Kreme also has some spring-themed donuts that are too cute not to eat. Look at that smile!

BTW, those are baby chicks. Not Pikachus.

And no, the black hole is not a Krispy Kreme donut. Don’t believe everything you read online!

I'm sure I've seen this before... @krispykreme ? 🤔 #EHTBlackHole @ivaylola pic.twitter.com/6O7dIRnHhO

Grab your own Lemon Glaze Krispy Kreme before April 28th to get in on the tart and tangy action. You won’t regret giving the flavor a try, if you haven’t already.
