In the United States, it's as iconic as the Big Mac. You've surely seen the gleaming donuts from Krispy Kreme in your favorite series (especially Sex & The City), and it's high time to taste them for real. The first flagship in Paris has just opened, triggering a collective frenzy at the Canopée des Halles.
Prepared fresh daily on-site, savor the classic Original Glazed (€2.50), whose recipe has supposedly remained unchanged since 1937. Be sure to buy it in a box of 12 for posterity, freeze for later if any are left (€19.90). Also, don't miss the jam or chocolate-filled versions, along with a variety of hot drinks in delightfully vintage packaging.
Bonus : While waiting for your precious package, admire the donuts in the process of creation from the lab visible from the outside, like a Willy Wonka of donuts !
Krispy Kreme, 12 Passage de la Canopée, Westfield – Forum des Halles, Paris 1st. Open every day from 8 am to 10 pm.
