Last week, DCist noticed that Krispy Keme was promoting themselves even more dropping off free treats at office doors near Dupont Circle.
We think their choice in location is brilliant. Krispy Kreme opens out onto a passageway that is one of the few places to hide out from the rain near Dupont Circle. It’s at the end of the escalators leading to the Dupont metrorail station. There’s nothing like Krispy Kreme to make a cold December rain tolerable. Screw the low carb fads.
