Krispy Kreme Dozen Donuts — How Much Does It Cost?
You'll see "$14.99" repeated as a flat answer across a lot of guides, and it's not quite right. After tracking real prices across states and channels, the true picture is a range — roughly $11 to $16 in-store depending on where you are, and a very different number again if you're ordering delivery. Here's the full, honest breakdown.
Krispy Kreme Dozen Donuts Price at a Glance
An Original Glazed dozen runs a national average of about $13.49, but the real range spans $11 in lower-cost regions (like Georgia and Tennessee) to $16 or more in New York and California. Location matters more than most guides let on.

In-Store vs Delivery Price
This is the gap that matters more than regional variation, and it's the one most "how much is a dozen" guides skip entirely. I pulled this directly from DoorDash's live menu.

|---|---|---|---|
| Original Glazed Dozen | ~$13.49 | $21.59 | +60% |

How to Save Money on a Dozen
Skip Delivery Apps
The single biggest lever: pick up in-store instead of ordering through DoorDash or Uber Eats. That's a 48–68% savings on its own, bigger than any regional price difference.
Use the Krispy Kreme App
The app features exclusive deals on dozens and earns Rewards points — 10 per $1 spent — on every purchase.
Visit During Hot Light Hours
Same price, better quality — Hot Light hours means your dozen is fresh off the line.
National Donut Day
First Friday in June, Krispy Kreme historically runs its best single-day deal of the year.

Krispy Kreme Dozen Donuts — The Bottom Line
The real answer isn't a single number. An Original Glazed dozen runs about $11 to $16 in-store depending on your region, averaging around $13.49 nationally. Order through DoorDash instead and that same dozen jumps to $21.59 — a 60% markup that dwarfs any regional difference. If you want the best price, skip delivery and pick up in-store; if you want the best value, the two-dozen box brings the per-donut cost under $1.
