text: Well, not that anyone can properly place doughnuts in the food pyramid, let alone work them into any meal with justification, but Krispy Kreme is a gift from the sweet tooth heavens. If you're passing by and happen to catch that beauteous glowing Hot & Now sign illuminated in your peripheral, it might has well be your birthday. \n\nI've experienced many a doughnut endeavor and never once have I been let down by this little shop of warm, melty, glazed dreams. The staff is always fast and can pull a dozen melt-in-your-mouth glazed in no time. \n\nThe inside is great, too. Fun for little kids to watch the conveyor belt churning out doughnuts. This is a place of happiness. Not just breakfast or snacktime, but pure happiness. \n\nMy only gripe is the accessibility. Located on Independence, it is hard to pull in and then come in through the back, pull in to the drive thru or find a spot  in the adjacent parking lot. All of Charlotte knows how 74 is the bane of motor vehicle existence, so just be prepared. \n\nAbsolutely love Krispy Kreme and all they stand for. Except for maybe their odd choice of spelling, of course! Now, onward for Hot & Now doughnuts!
