Your Requests Have Been Answered! KRISPY KREME® Returns Fan-Favorite Original Glazed® Lemon Filled Doughnut

Beloved doughnut is available beginning today for a limited time

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--You asked. You posted. You tagged. We listened. Krispy Kreme® is officially bringing back the long-time fan-favorite Original Glazed® Lemon Filled Doughnut. And yes, it’s as good as you remember.

After nonstop love (and not-so-subtle hints) across social media and feedback in our shops, this iconic flavor is making its highly requested comeback starting today (May 18) for a limited time at participating shops nationwide. And if fans show up in a big way, it just might earn a permanent spot on the menu in the future.

Last seen in November 2025, the Original Glazed® Lemon Filled Doughnut is back with its signature combo: a melt-in-your-mouth Original Glazed® shell and a bright, citrusy lemon filling that basically tastes like sunshine.

“We heard you loud, clear, and all over our comments,” said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer. “Fans have not been quiet about wanting this one back, and honestly … we get it. Original Glazed® Lemon Filled is pure feel-good flavor. Consider your craving handled.”

The Original Glazed® Lemon Filled Doughnut is available in-shop and for pickup or delivery via Krispy Kreme's app and website, individually and by the dozen (because sharing is optional), while supplies last. Visit krispykreme.com/locate/location-search#grocery to find a shop near you.
