If you’re anything like me, sometimes the morning just gets away from you and you don’t have time to make your coffee at home. (Homemade is always best, but hey – sometimes you just run out of time.)
Or you need a treat. Because the morning was tough. (I have two small kids at home. Trust me. I get it.)
Usually my go-to is the local Krispy Kreme, because they’ve got solid coffee choices and are just a short drive from my house (and, as an additional plus, they’re on the way to my son’s preschool).
Of course, the next issue is – what to get? What’s healthy?
To save you time, I’ve compiled all of the low-cal drink options in one place, just down the page (it’s a LOT easier to navigate than Krispy Kreme’s online menu).
Because let’s face it – if you’re already stuck for time, who needs to spend a bunch of time researching all the details? I’ve done the hard work for you.
Hot drinks at Krispy Kreme under 100 calories
Longtime coffee drinkers will know that the secret to keeping drinks under 100 calories is generally to cut out as much of the fat and sweeteners as possible. So it won’t shock you that the list of drinks below can be boiled down to “black coffee of various types”:
| Hot Drinks | Size | Calories |
| Espresso | Any number of shots | 0 |
| Americano | Any size | 0 |
| Classic Brewed Coffee | Any size | 0 |
| Classic Decaf Brewed Coffee | Any size | 0 |
Now it’s worth noting here – you should be able to add any milk of your choice (aside from heavy cream) to any of these and still come in under 100 calories, so long as you’re judicious about how much milk. I just don’t have “official” facts and figures to work from, so I can’t tell you that with perfect certainty. (But let’s face it – coffee without milk…does NOT taste great.)
Cold drinks at Krispy Kreme under 100 calories
Fortunately there’s a little more diversity among Krispy Kreme’s cold drinks. You still won’t find anything with “caramel” in the title or any of their frozen coffees, unfortunately. (Can you believe it? Most of those are in the 300-500 calorie range!) That said, you’ll still get some fun flavors and iced drinks to help ward off the incoming heat!
And as noted above – you can probably add milk to Krispy Kreme’s 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz iced coffees without clearing that 100-calorie hurdle.
| Cold Drinks | Size | Calories |
| Iced Coffee | 12 oz | 20 |
| Iced Coffee | 16 oz | 25 |
| Iced Coffee | 20 oz | 35 |
| Iced Coffee | 32 oz | 60 |
| Vanilla Iced coffee | 12 oz | 90 |
| Original Glazed Iced Coffee | 12 oz | 80 |
| Iced Latte | 12 oz | 80 |
| Iced Latte | 16 oz | 90 |
It’s worth noting as well that the Original Glazed Flavored Iced Coffee (not to be confused with the Original Glazed Iced Coffee) clocks in right at 100 calories for its 12 oz size. So it just missed the cutoff!
FAQs
Krispy Kreme’s Coffee Americano has the least calories – because it’s got none at all! Really any form of black coffee will do (their Classic Brewed Coffee and Decaf Classic Brewed Coffee also have no calories).
Yes, they’re very good. In fact, their caramel lattes and mocha lattes are my favorite lattes among the big chains (quite a bit better than Dunkin’s – sorry Dunkin’!).
