Krispy Kreme’s New Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnut: What to Know and How to Buy
Krispy Kreme is introducing a limited-time Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnut just in time for National Coffee Day. Available to fans for four days, from Saturday, September 26 through National Coffee Day on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the promotion blends Krispy Kreme’s iconic Original Glazed doughnut with a smooth, creamy coffee flavor that is subtly bold and perfectly sweet.
The official flavor description highlights a taste experience that is creamy and coffee-forward without being overpowering. The new doughnut is designed to offer the familiar glow of the Original Glazed with a distinct coffee note that is easy to enjoy for both coffee lovers and doughnut fans. In short, you get the comforting mouthfeel of a Krispy Kreme classic with an approachable coffee character that many readers will recognize.
Pricing, limits, and availability
The promotions run from September 26 through September 29, 2026. During this four-day window, fans can choose between two ways to save: each dozen can be purchased at a special price of $5 when you buy any dozen at regular price. You can choose either a dozen Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnuts or a dozen Original Glazed Doughnuts, with the purchase of any dozen at regular price. The discount applies to a dozen, not to individual doughnuts, and the deal is subject to stock on hand and to participating shops.
Purchase limits apply to the discounted dozen. In-shop and drive-thru, the limit is two discounted dozens per guest. For mobile app orders for pickup or delivery, the limit is one discounted dozen per order. The $5 deal uses promo code COFFEE. The offer is available while supplies last.
To be clear, the four-day window is the maximum duration of the promotion, but local stock may run out earlier at individual shops. If you’re planning a trip, it’s wise to verify stock at your nearby Krispy Kreme before heading out.
How to redeem by channel
In shops and at the drive-thru, you can take advantage of the $5 dozen deal by presenting the purchase of any dozen at regular price and selecting a dozen Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnuts or Original Glazed Doughnuts. The discount is applied to the dozen you choose, with the in-store and drive-thru limit of two discounted dozens per guest.
Through the Krispy Kreme mobile app, the same $5 dozen offer applies per order, with a limit of one discounted dozen per app order. Use promo code COFFEE when checking out to apply the discount.
National Coffee Day free coffee offer
On September 29, participating Krispy Kreme shops will give guests a complimentary small or medium hot or iced coffee with any purchase. This free coffee offer is limited to one per guest. The two promotions—the four-day $5 dozen deal and the National Coffee Day coffee giveaway—are described separately in the official materials, and the terms do not explicitly state whether they can be combined in a single transaction. If clarity is needed, confirm at the local shop or via the Krispy Kreme app before checkout.

Readers in the United States should note that the promotion is centered on U.S. participating shops. International readers may encounter geographic blocks when visiting Krispy Kreme’s site, and availability may differ outside the United States.
Important clarifications and practical tips
The official wording makes clear that the $5 dozen deal can apply to either the Original Glazed Coffee Flavored Doughnuts or the Original Glazed Doughnuts, as long as the customer purchases any dozen at regular price. The article should reflect this by clearly stating both options in pricing discussions to avoid confusion for readers who prefer the classic Original Glazed doughnut. If readers want to mix flavors, they can do so within the terms of the offer, but the article should spell out that the discount applies to a qualifying dozen, not to individual doughnuts.
The limit language is attached to the dozen deal, not to individual doughnuts. Specifically, “Limit two per guest in-shop and drive-thru” and “Limit one via Krispy Kreme’s mobile app for pickup and delivery using promo code COFFEE.” If the official terms are later clarified, update the article to reflect the exact wording. In the meantime, readers should treat the per-guest limits as applying to discounted dozens, not to single doughnuts.
Inventory and the four-day window mean it’s wise to verify in advance. The official terms include “while supplies last,” so availability can end earlier at a given location. It’s best to confirm stock, offer eligibility, and whether the free coffee can be stacked with the $5 dozen deal at the point of sale—at the store, drive-thru, or app—before completing a purchase.
