Ask for the warm-glazed donuts! When they come practically right after being glazed, they melt in your mouth. This place will have you craving donuts!

Hands down the only place to go to get some of the freshest and best donuts in western Maryland. You have to make sure you get there early though if you want the full selection because krumpe's isn't a secret anymore and they get packed quick. The low price and unmatchable quality and freshness make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Hagerstown after 7pm.

My coworker brought in donuts from here this morning and I had to find out where he got them from they were so good. I chose a cinnamon twist and it was the best I've ever had. I wish I lived closer to Hagerstown because I would make this a weekly thing. SO good.

I lived in Hagerstown MD for 8 months while working down at the West Virginia Air National Guard Base in Martinsburg WV. My family came up for spring break and we were looking for something sweet to eat on Saturday afternoon. I found Krumpe's DO-Nut's while doing a Google search. We drove to Krumpe's hoping for a snack. Well, we were all pretty bummed when we got there and they were closed. You see they are closed on Saturdays and when they are open; Sunday thru Friday, their hours are 7pm to 2am. Now that's my kind of hours... I'm a night owl. So of course after the family went back home I had to check this place out. Their glazed DO-Nut's are awesome. The other Do-Nut's are really good too. Prices are really cheap and the staff is really nice. Tell them it's your first time and they will give you a free Do-Nut... Mmmmmmm. This is a must try if you are ever passing through Hagerstown between 7 pm and 2 am Sunday thru Friday.

Visiting Krumpe's, especially in the wintertime, is a magical late night activity! Just don't go Saturday night because they're closed!! You can get your do-nuts on HOT right off the press, and they'll even sell you unfilled do-nut shells if you want ... to .... say ... spoil your dog and not have them eat gobs of sugar. Drenched in local history (since 1934) Krumpe's is also a fun place to take kids and out-of-town guests.

Krispy Kreme makes donuts, Krumpe's makes something better! It's an adventure to visit the shop which is only open from 7PM until 2AM. My wife hates me to taking her there - she can't resist them, and she never liked donuts before going here.
(5)Matthew S.
My Krumpe's experience began at night w/ a drive through downtown Hagerstown. Two quick rights later we were driving down what seemed to be a back alley of some sort, and there glowing to our right was an 'open' sign. Krumpe's customer waiting area is about the size of your average NYC kitchen apartment. A lone register sits on the counter with an elderly woman behind it. Behind her sits rows of circular sugary dreams. Made in house (you can see them coming off the press) you can purchase these donuts still warm. This ain't your everyday Dunkin Donut my friend. Cheap and delicious ( I think we got 2 dozen for $10 + a dozen donut holes for $2 or $3) Krumpe's is well worth a drive into the night.
(5)terrence d.
Hot donuts at 1 am, the original local version of crispe creme only better. Recommend stopping at night while the donuts are hot and fresh. the next day at local business is a good 2nd bet.
(5)Kara M.
Too legit to quit. Friday nights are packed. Ask for the hot fresh glazed :) New flavors usually not that great i.e. key lime.
(4)J D.
If you can get past the, "I might be mugged in the parking lot" feeling you will get to taste the heavenly taste of Krumpe's donughts. Nothing better!
(5)alexandra r.
Ahh. The classic Donut shop. This is the place you couldn't find unless someone showed you how to get there. It's so good that you wouldn't mind getting lost on the way. With hours from about...7p.m. to around 3a.m., they are making and serving the best donuts around.
(5)Pamela S.
I hate donuts, but these are great! Good flavor, excellent texture with a homemade feel. It's effective comfort food.
(4)Judy S.
I never understood what the fuss about Krispy Kreme was all about ... and I miss Hagerstown and I miss Krumpe's and if they'd give me their recipe, I'd be their first franchisee!
(5)Julie B.
A Hagerstown landmark. No matter where you go, you won't find a better glazed donut. Or a donut shop, in an alley, only open at night. Coming into to town for a visit, our first stop is always Krumpes.
(5)Kristi B.
The doughnuts here are the best you'll find anywhere. They're fresh and tasty, and infinitely better than anything you'll find at the national chains or grocery stores. The only down side, and the only reason I took off a star, is that the two young ladies working at the counter provide terrible customer service, and they are dumb as a box of rocks. I took my mother-in-law and sister-in-law - who are from the UK - to Krumpe's so they could experience doughnuts as doughnuts were meant to be. The girls behind the counter (one blonde, one brunette, both probably local high school students) noticed their accents, and proceeded to ask questions like "Do you have different money in England, or do you use dollars?". I was expecting them to ask if they had electricity and cars in England next. They asked my in-laws questions for a good five or ten minutes while the line grew behind us and customers became increasingly irritated by the delays. I have to say, that really diminished the experience for me and my in-laws. I have not been back since.
(4)Shaun S.
Maybe nostalgia, the odd hours, or the tray line style of service add to the draw for Krumpe's, but these are some good donuts. You could head to Sheetz or DD to grab a standard premade donut; at Krumpe's you can get a fresh donut right out of the glazer. Some of the best donuts are the Donut of the Month. The Key Lime donut is amazing, and I wish they kept that one in regular rotation. If you are in or near Hagerstown late night, then stop by Krumpe's.
(4)Ann P.
I am going to be completely honest. I can totally see the reason this place has 5 stars. It's most likely the best spot to get donuts in the Hagerstown, md area. However, being that I eat a lot of these tasty treats in huge major cities, I have had real donuts. I would not consider this a five star donut shop. The town is very old and I believe the people in the city appreciate it much more than people outside of the city (who have tried donuts elsewhere). So if you have had real delicious donuts before then I assure you it will not be 5 stars in your book. I do have to mention that the donuts are super cheap! It's a little less than 4$ for half a dozen donuts. I mean in DC I pay 4$ for one donut. So considering the cheap price it's worth the eat.
(2)Jane P.
Doughnuts here are not that great. I'm confused how this place had five stars when I went to it. They are freshly made and apart from that there is nothing great about them. They look and taste close to super market doughnuts. I was extremely disappointed especially since I was so hyped about this place.... Original doughnuts were the best I think.

Here's a fantastic little off-hours discovery: Krumpe's DO-Nut Shop. It's somewhat of a midnight snacker's dream. There wasn't a soul in sight driving through this moonlit industrial looking area in Hagerstown. Then, a short drive down a small dark alley aptly named "Donut Alley" revealed a bright neon sign beaming the word: OPEN. Who is this Krumpe? It includes generations of donut makers which began with Mother Krumpe in the early 1900s. Now, Grandpa Krumpe's photo is on the wall, while Papa and Son Krumpe continue the donut making tradition today. As first timers to the store we were offered a free glazed donut. So tasty. Fresh, homemade fillings and a peanut butter twist donut that was featured in Esquire as one of the best late night foods: esquire.com/_mobile/feat… . The store is only open from 7pm until 2am. We stopped in after midnight and saw several customers including regulars come in for their late night donut fixes. Super friendly service, delicious fresh donuts with homemade filling and open until 2 am. Get your midnight snack on.
(4)Tony M.
And in conclusion..... Simply the best donuts in the world. I moved to Baltimore 10 years ago but still pick up Krumpe's and introduce coworkers and friends to the greatest export Hagerstown has. I've never found a person who claims to have had a better donut. Thank you Krumpe's for staying true to the art form! You are the last thing of my childhood that has remained the same. Keep doing it right!!!!
(5)Jeff S.
Was in Hagerstown for the week and I had to try this out on my last night in town after seeing so many 5 stars. The fact that Krumpe's opens for the night shift is definitely intriguing so I made sure to have enough room left after dinner for a warm donut. Like the reviews say, it's hidden down an alley so Google Maps and Yelp's maps only get you in the right vicinity. There's a sign on the corner prior to the alley but at night it's tough to read. The good news is after circling a few times you will see a bunch of cars head in that direction so you know you are close. Thankfully when I got there, the line was quite short. I picked up a dozen for the next morning and absolutely had to try a hot glazed donut. Donut was good - light and fresh - but nothing mindblowing (especially compared to Donut in NYC and Glazed and Infused in Chicago). I had a chocolate cake donut the next morning and that was solid as well. I believe that the late start, the donut alley, and quaint little house where the donuts make up a large portion of the love for Krumpe's. The donuts were good but not extraordinary.

Hagerstown's best kept secret (well, ok, not really a secret). Hidden away down an alley - aptly named Donut Alley - off of Maryland Avenue, your first impression might be wondering why you're willingly going down a dark alley. Keep going, it's so worth it. You'll soon be greeted by the bright lights of Krumpe's Donut shop, the smell of donut grease and sweet toppings filling the air, and the sight of many other excited patrons waiting to get their hands on these fresh donuts - depending on what day and time you go. Friday nights are undoubtedly the busiest. There is nothing quite like a Krumpe's run after a night at the bar, after all. Or after a football game. Or after dinner and a movie. It doesn't matter - anytime is Krumpe's time. Krumpe's is open 7 pm - 2 am Sunday night through Friday night. A total dream for those midnight snackers, sober or not. You can walk away with a dozen donuts for a couple of bucks. (Or donut holes for like...what, $2-3?) I never want to imagine a life without Krumpe's Donuts. So fresh, so warm, so delicious. You're literally ordering donuts fresh off of the conveyor belts - some of them haven't even been glazed or powdered yet. I've gone in here and ordered glazed donuts and they've had to ask me to wait while they glaze them - THAT is how fresh these suckers are. OMG. I'm literally drooling as I'm writing this review. You people do not know pain until you live 4,800 miles away and can't say, "I'm going to go get Krumpe's tonight." My heart is breaking into a million pieces right now knowing that I can't have the amazing freaking wonderful fresh deliciousness that is Krumpe's. Someone please eat some for me. Specifically a glazed chocolate cake donut, a peanut butter twist donut, a classic glazed donut, a cinnamon raisin bun, and whatever the donut of the month is, because whatever it is, I'm sure it's out of this world delicious. Oh - and don't forget the milk!
(5)Joanne B.
Tonight was the first time I would say the trip to Hagerstown from wv wasn't worth it . The service was horrible like I was bothering them being there ! Hello this is your job to wait on people ! I ended up not gettin what I wanted because I was rushed thru the line . It will be awhile before I return again
(3)Meg K.
As a NJ native I have tried all the famous donuts. I usually take one bite and move along. I am typically NOT a donut person. I actually went for the second bite and could have kept going. Worth the drive
(5)Rebecca B.
Awesome, local donut place. Only open 7pm to 2am. A little tricky to find - but worth the GPS navigating. Carry out only - but the aroma of donuts makes you want to linger as long as you possibly can while you are ordering. Fantastic, local gem in Hagerstown. Everything is excellent - both yeast and cake donuts.
(5)Amy L.
Delicious donuts, especially when fresh. Glazed are the best. Also really like the chocolate cream filled. As other Yelpers have said, the donuts have to be good for folks to line up, at night and sometimes in the extreme cold, to purchase them. Worth the trip, at least once if you're in Hagerstown - any night but Saturday! The flow of traffic thru the very tiny storefront could be improved by (1) putting in another door - so 1 could be in & 1 could be out and/or (2) putting arrows or footprints on the floor so customers can see how to move thru efficiently.
(4)Bob B.
Krumpe's is authentic. Krumpe's is "echt". Tourists from Asia and Europe should pay an extra dividend and ride on buses to experience what otherwise only is treasured by Americans from small towns. It's not just the amazing donuts. It's the family-run business. It's the history and the community. If you want to do a road trip, there's parking down "donut alley" for your ride! Only open late at night, and never on a Saturday(!!!). And every Mardi Gras you HAVE to go for their "fastnachts".

We absolutely loved Krumpe's do-nuts! The place has limited hours 7pm-2am but if you have the opportunity to try them -- this is a must do! The place is a little tricky to find. It is literally located in do-nut alley. We had not even tried the donuts yet but we knew we were going to love them. Who wouldn't love do-nut alley! The glazed donuts are amazing, as are the apple cinnamon donuts. The place is tiny and there is a line going out the door but you won't be disappointed.

Great donuts!!! Krumpes is a family owned business and the service was excellent and the owner is super friendly. I told them it was our first time and they gave us a free donut to try. Super reasonable prices! A dozen donuts for $6! Definitely recommend!!! Will be back for more

Krumpe's Do-nut shop is one of my all-time favorite stops! Krumpe's small store-front is filled with all sorts of fresh (and sometimes warm) donuts to try. The scent alone is worth a visit. My personal favorite thing to order is a bag of mixed do-nut holes. We always order the glazed and chocolate cake varieties, along with a mix of whatever else is available. My husband and I usually devour them in the car on our drive home. It is the most delicious way to end a date night or night out with friends. While ALL of the donuts are ridiculously delish, the classic glazed do-nut is by far my favorite. It will literally melt in your mouth, leaving nothing but a sweet and buttery taste to savor. Only open Sunday to Friday from 7pm - 2am, Krumpe's is the perfect stop for late-night munchies. Note that they are not open Saturday nights. I've sadly made this mistake many times - dreams crushed! Krumpe's is tucked away on Donut Alley, so first timers beware - it's really not visible from the main roads. Just trust that if you drive down Donut Alley, you can't miss it! If they're busy, parking will be hectic, so be prepared to squeeze your way through. As far as cost, Krumpe's is a steal! We've always ordered way too many donuts and have always spent under ten bucks. Krumpe's is Hagerstown's hidden gem; a place that locals take pride in and foodies should flock to. If you haven't been here yet, you HAVE to try it. You will not be disappointed.

My daughter brought home a dozen of these a day or so ago. THEY ARE THE BEST! It has been 2 days and they are still amazing. I think a trip up there tonight is on my must do list.
(5)Kathryn L.
As a self proclaimed donut enthusiast. It's a are to say these are some of the greatest donuts I've ever had. This place shines.
(5)Katie W.
I love this place. I even love the sassy teens that give you the donuts. Simply perfect and I hope this place never changes. The smell alone is incredible.
(5)Chuck R.
Yay Krumpe's!! *squeals* By far the best around, and yes, I've had my share of donuts... Love the location on Donut Alley!
(5)Melody T.
Donuts aren't vegetarian. Staff is uninformed about ingredients. My friends and I had been told by multiple cashiers that donuts contained no eggs or dairy until another one told us they not only contained eggs but were fried in lard. Incredibly disappointed - I love Krumpe's.
(3)Kyle A.
Just moved here from Southern Indiana and was BLOWN AWAY at how AMAZING these donuts were! We're definitely Krempe's fans for life!
(5)Jessica B.
This seriously has to be one of the best donuts I have ever tasted and this is coming from a New Yorker! On the recommendation of my sister in law I tried their donuts. They are hot and fresh and cheap compared to New York prices. I had a glazed donut and a Apple filled donut. Oh my gosh it had to be one of the best glazed donuts I've ever tasted in my entire life. It was hot and fresh and it literally melts in your mouth. Awesome awesome donuts. Keep up the good work guys!
(5)Danielle M.
Downright awesome! A must try!!! They are so much better than Dunkin or even Krispy Kreme for that matter. I don't give 5 stars away without earning them and this donut shop earns them and more! Enjoy!!
(5)Coco A.
These donuts are the best. Forever and always. Id travel miles to eat them. There are so many varieties. And cheap! The boys who look like high school or college students are friendly too.
(5)Cuy M.
Fantastic Donuts, they should rename it to Krackeez, because once you eat one that's it, you're hooked.
(5)Jeremy R.
These donuts are to die for!!! I have never tasted anything better than these. Biggest thing to remember is you have to try them fresh, and the best way to get that is to go when it is busy. You may have to wait a little in the line, but it is completely worth the wait. I go there at least twice a month now. The specialty donuts can be good depending on what you get, but not quite as good as the normal glazed donuts since those cannot be fresh.
(5)Spike P.
Some of the best donuts you'll ever eat in your life. Every time I come up to this area, we always stop for some great donuts and milk.
(5)Amy S.
These are what donuts were meant to be. If they're available, grab some hot donut holes fresh from the glaze. I dare you to try to make it home without devouring the entire bag.
(5)Tim K.
These donuts taste great and are a good value.

Krumpe's DO-Nuts is a destination and a household name in the thriving metropolis of Hagerstown, Maryland. It is a family fun business very invested in their customers and community. So much so, that the Mayor and Town Council re-named a street "DoNut Alley" Having grown up just down the road from this masterpiece of sweet goodness- I will admit I am biased in their favor. Dunken will never hold the same kind of place in my heart that Krumpe's does. Their product is far superior, their service is homegrown and friendly, and you can stand there and watch how they make these suckers. How much better does it get? If you are passing through Western Maryland- it is worth the little bit of effort to try their wares. Even if it is just to see the DO-Nut maker in his signature paper hat!
(5)Florence K.
Puts Krispy Kreme to shame, for sure! This no fuss, no muss type of donut shop is the perfect way to end (they open at 7pm) or begin your day! My particular favorite is the cinnamon twist. Light, fluffy, airy and sweet... it's a nice balance of sugar and spice. If you're looking for a filling meal, go for the peanut butter or bavarian creme donut... Any way you choose, you just can't go wrong!!! Worth the trip out to Hagerstown!
(5)Pawalee A.
LOVE it!! Best donut ever. Cant stop eating. I went there 3 time last week and i brought my friend there to give her a try and she loves it as well. We are getting fat now. LOL Glazed and holes are the best.
(5)Sarah M.
It's not a donut shop, it's an experience. You're driving down a back alley, in the dark, when all of a sudden there are lights and cars parked wherever they can and hot donuts through an entrance in what looks like someone's back garage. What definitely was someone's back garage before it became the local donut Mecca. When ordering, I always ask what is hot right then, and haven't been disappointed. One time it was rum raisin, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but I got it anyway, and it was of course delicious. I have tried many flavors this way. Definitely get whatever is hot and eat it right there, sitting in your car with the door open so the glazed sugar flakes can fall on the ground, while you watch other intrepid donut hunters pull up and get out of their cars, squinting in surprise. Good times.

Krumpe's is perfect. If anyone ever finds themselves within a 200 mile radius of Hagerstown, it would be a massive sin not to come here and enjoy their fried or baked (cake) donuts. And anyone outside of that 200 mile radius should reevaluate their life choices as to why they are not closer and fix that fact. The Krumpe's crew are masters of their art. every other non-Krumpe's donut you eat will taste like stale putrid slug faeces after you've had the glorious krumpe's donut.
(5)JenniLynn H.
LORD HAVE MERCY. If you are lucky enough to get there when the glazed donut holes are still warm, buy a few dozen. You will eat them all. And then you will come back to Yelp and thank me for being so awesome.

There is nothing better on the planet than getting a hot and fresh Krumpe's Donut. We lived here for 2 years before we found out about this place. It is one of Hagerstown's best kept secrets. I have stood in lines 40 people deep just to get them. Their service is quick and very friendly, although since they started taking credit cards, it's slowed down a bit. They have a nice variety of donuts. When my Dad comes to town, which is every Thanksgiving week, he calls them ahead of time and they get his order ready. He started doing this because he comes into town late and if you get there close to closing time, don't expect a big selection. If you are driving through town between the hours of 8pm and 1am, get off I-70 exit 29 North. Better have GPS, because DoNut Alley is not the easiest to find, but once you do, you'll never forget it.
(5)Alice G.
The Krumpe's are Hagerstown royalty and should be treated as such. Also, cold milk and a warm do-nut is what they serve Jesus in Heaven for breakfast. The proof is in how heavenly this combination tastes every time I consume it.

Finally got a chance to visit Krumpe's. These babies are some darn tasty donuts that blow away anything that Dunkin or Krispy Kreme could ever produce. I got a variety of yeast raised and cake donuts and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. My biggest peeve is the odd hours of 7 pm-2 am. Not the place to go if you are looking for good donut for breakfast (unless you work a night shift and/or you are a REAL EARLY riser). The business model Krumpe's goes for appears to be a wholesale operation who happens to do a little retail on the side instead of being a retail establishment. Hence the odd hours and the kind of unusual location. The inconvenient hours are the only reason I can't give it 5 stars, otherwise if you find yourself in Hagerstown overnight, make a run to Krumpe's and get one the best donuts in the area.
(4)Nicole L.
Perfect late night dessert and early morning breakfast. I only wish we had this on the west coast. Only but the best donut ever!!!!!
(5)Mikey B.
No trip to Hagerstown would be complete with out a donut from donut alley! America may run on dunkin , heaven runs on Krumpes!
(5)Rajiv D.
I don't even eat donuts, but this place is ridiculous and will make a convert out of anyone. And the kids just think this is a slice of heaven. A little shop, in a small alley behind a house, which is a little hard to find. But the donuts are amazing!! And they are fresh every night - the place only opens late in the evening. The variety of donuts is amazing!! I say, if you are in Hagerstown, MD for any reason, you have to hit this place. Heck, if you are driving past Hagerstown, this is a reason to stop.
(5)Rich J.
Krumpe's is definitely better than the usual chain. Like most really good donut shops, it's not part of a major shopping destination, but it's not that difficult to find. You take the Rte 632 exit from I-70 (last one before I-81 going West) drive toward town and you'll see their sign just as you reach an older residential area. The store is a couple short blocks to your right. Donut lovers usually have their biases. I prefer cake to glazed, cream filled to jelly filled and iced to plain. The emphasis here is on filled and cake-style, although I did see plenty of glazed. The donuts aren't excessively sweet like Krispy Kreme nor bland like Dunkin. The icing tends to flake off and the eclair was a little too doughy for me. The cream fillings are flavorful and not overly sweet. The price is definitely right (much cheaper than Krispy Kreme). I thought the donuts were better the next morning. Fresh out of the fryer, they tended to have a little bit of a cooked taste. Next morning, that was gone and the taste of the filling and different flavors was better integrated into the donut.
(4)Misty A.
I got the Krumpe Kravin' !! Each and every time I go "back home" , a night trip to an alley in the south end of town is a must. The first time I went here, I was skeptical. Who wouldn't be ? Someone says "I know this great place", then they take you at night, down an alley. When I walked into this tiny, tiny place the aroma of yumminess captured me. There is nothing better than a warm donut right off the glazer. Each time I go here, I always get a minimum of a dozen glazed donut holes. Never once were any left by the time I got to the end of the alley. Friendly staff and great product. That is a recipe for success. My favorite donut: Chocolate Covered Cream Filled.
(5)Jenn K.
Two words for you: Glazed Donut. Donuts are always a delicious little treat, but Krumpe's donuts are special. Get them hot out of the oven and it borders a religious experience. They are lighter than air, fluffy, and full of flavor. As a bonus, they don't leave that film of grease on the roof of your mouth. They are just perfect. We are not in Hagerstown often, but it's a must-do experience when we are! Dee-lish!
(5)Kimberry T.
I love krumpes im very picky about my donuts but this place is awesome. there's something special about their donuts but i can't quite put my finger on it.but sadly im no longer living in the east coast, and i miss them soo much!
(5)Chizlum M.
If you love donuts, this is the place. Everyone donut I have tried is delicious, but my favorite is the Long John. Yummy.
(5)Trent R.
Krumpe's is a Hagerstown institution. It has been a place to have a great late night snack my entire life. I have so many favorites but I must say the Cinnamon Twist donuts are my personal favorite. Everything here is handmade and delicious! I suggest taking some milk with you and eating them right there in the parking lot!!
(4)Kelly P.
Let me state: I don't like donuts ~ I DO LIKE KRUMPE's We get these donuts delivered to our work and they are THE BEST. I'm not a donut person and usually pass but was talked into it and now I can't resist. They are light and fluffy and perfectly glazed, I really need to make a trip into the store but thats later! For now I enjoy the once in a while delivery to work! They must do something right, they have been doing it since 1934. UPDATE: We finally went to Krumpe's down "Donut Alley" in Hagerstown. It was a fun evening family trip for a delicious snack! They also had Krumpes Ice Cream which my cousin loved. Parking can be a challenge and there was a line out the door for donuts. March 27, 1998 Sunday, March 29, 1998 Edition Mr. and Mrs. Max Krumpe of Hagerstown celebrated their 50th anniversary Saturday, March 14, 1998, at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Jacqueline and Mac King in Herndon, Va. The celebration was hosted by their children and their spouses, Rudolph and Clara Krumpe, Jacqueline and Mac King, Terry and William Wisegarver and Fred and Jane Krumpe. The Krumpes were married March 13, 1948. Mrs. Krumpe is the former Juanita Boward. She is the daughter of the late Fred and Marian Boward. Mr. Krumpe is the son of the late Rudolf and Anna Lee Krumpe. The Krumpes will have owned and operated Krumpe's Donuts for 50 years in May. They have eight grandchildren.
(5)Jon B.
Ah Krumpe's glazed cake donuts how do I miss thee! I have yet to find the equal anywhere else of these ambrosial gems of donutdom. Still made by the Krumpe family by hand, not from corporate mass produced mix like Dunkin and KK. I haven't been there in five years, but from what I have been told things are still going strong. The location down a residential alley and the odd hours also add to the charm.
(5)Nicole H.
Ask for the warm-glazed donuts! When they come practically right after being glazed, they melt in your mouth. This place will have you craving donuts!
(5)Michael K.
Hands down the only place to go to get some of the freshest and best donuts in western Maryland. You have to make sure you get there early though if you want the full selection because krumpe's isn't a secret anymore and they get packed quick. The low price and unmatchable quality and freshness make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Hagerstown after 7pm.
(5)Katie P.
My coworker brought in donuts from here this morning and I had to find out where he got them from they were so good. I chose a cinnamon twist and it was the best I've ever had. I wish I lived closer to Hagerstown because I would make this a weekly thing. SO good.
(5)Diane L.
If you go Outlet shopping in Hagerstown....make sure you stop by Krumpe's DO-Nut Shop because they make the very best donuts. They are better than Crispy Cream Donuts and Dunkin Donuts. These are made the old fashion way and that's why they are the best.
(5)Katy L.
Great family-owned-buisness, incredibly priced, great donuts and unique location. It's a comfort, a treat, and a MUST!
(5)Stephanie S.
My daughter brought home a dozen of these a day or so ago. THEY ARE THE BEST! It has been 2 days and they are still amazing. I think a trip up there tonight is on my must do list.
(5)Kathryn L.
As a self proclaimed donut enthusiast. It's a are to say these are some of the greatest donuts I've ever had. This place shines.
(5)Katie W.
I love this place. I even love the sassy teens that give you the donuts. Simply perfect and I hope this place never changes. The smell alone is incredible.
(5)Chuck R.
Yay Krumpe's!! *squeals* By far the best around, and yes, I've had my share of donuts... Love the location on Donut Alley!
(5)Melody T.
Donuts aren't vegetarian. Staff is uninformed about ingredients. My friends and I had been told by multiple cashiers that donuts contained no eggs or dairy until another one told us they not only contained eggs but were fried in lard. Incredibly disappointed - I love Krumpe's.
(3)Kyle A.
Just moved here from Southern Indiana and was BLOWN AWAY at how AMAZING these donuts were! We're definitely Krempe's fans for life!
(5)Jessica B.
This seriously has to be one of the best donuts I have ever tasted and this is coming from a New Yorker! On the recommendation of my sister in law I tried their donuts. They are hot and fresh and cheap compared to New York prices. I had a glazed donut and a Apple filled donut. Oh my gosh it had to be one of the best glazed donuts I've ever tasted in my entire life. It was hot and fresh and it literally melts in your mouth. Awesome awesome donuts. Keep up the good work guys!
(5)Danielle M.
Downright awesome! A must try!!! They are so much better than Dunkin or even Krispy Kreme for that matter. I don't give 5 stars away without earning them and this donut shop earns them and more! Enjoy!!
(5)Coco A.
These donuts are the best. Forever and always. Id travel miles to eat them. There are so many varieties. And cheap! The boys who look like high school or college students are friendly too.
(5)Cuy M.
Fantastic Donuts, they should rename it to Krackeez, because once you eat one that's it, you're hooked.
(5)Jeremy R.
These donuts are to die for!!! I have never tasted anything better than these. Biggest thing to remember is you have to try them fresh, and the best way to get that is to go when it is busy. You may have to wait a little in the line, but it is completely worth the wait. I go there at least twice a month now. The specialty donuts can be good depending on what you get, but not quite as good as the normal glazed donuts since those cannot be fresh.

Some of the best donuts you'll ever eat in your life. Every time I come up to this area, we always stop for some great donuts and milk.
(5)Amy S.
These are what donuts were meant to be. If they're available, grab some hot donut holes fresh from the glaze. I dare you to try to make it home without devouring the entire bag.
(5)Tim K.
These donuts taste great and are a good value.
(4)Tyler P.
Krumpe's DO-Nuts is a destination and a household name in the thriving metropolis of Hagerstown, Maryland. It is a family fun business very invested in their customers and community. So much so, that the Mayor and Town Council re-named a street "DoNut Alley" Having grown up just down the road from this masterpiece of sweet goodness- I will admit I am biased in their favor. Dunken will never hold the same kind of place in my heart that Krumpe's does. Their product is far superior, their service is homegrown and friendly, and you can stand there and watch how they make these suckers. How much better does it get? If you are passing through Western Maryland- it is worth the little bit of effort to try their wares. Even if it is just to see the DO-Nut maker in his signature paper hat!
(5)Florence K.
Puts Krispy Kreme to shame, for sure! This no fuss, no muss type of donut shop is the perfect way to end (they open at 7pm) or begin your day! My particular favorite is the cinnamon twist. Light, fluffy, airy and sweet... it's a nice balance of sugar and spice. If you're looking for a filling meal, go for the peanut butter or bavarian creme donut... Any way you choose, you just can't go wrong!!! Worth the trip out to Hagerstown!
(5)Pawalee A.
LOVE it!! Best donut ever. Cant stop eating. I went there 3 time last week and i brought my friend there to give her a try and she loves it as well. We are getting fat now. LOL Glazed and holes are the best.
(5)Sarah M.
It's not a donut shop, it's an experience. You're driving down a back alley, in the dark, when all of a sudden there are lights and cars parked wherever they can and hot donuts through an entrance in what looks like someone's back garage. What definitely was someone's back garage before it became the local donut Mecca. When ordering, I always ask what is hot right then, and haven't been disappointed. One time it was rum raisin, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but I got it anyway, and it was of course delicious. I have tried many flavors this way.

Krispy Kreme makes donuts, Krumpe's makes something better! It's an adventure to visit the shop which is only open from 7PM until 2AM. My wife hates me to taking her there - she can't resist them, and she never liked donuts before going here.
(5)Matthew S.
My Krumpe's experience began at night w/ a drive through downtown Hagerstown. Two quick rights later we were driving down what seemed to be a back alley of some sort, and there glowing to our right was an 'open' sign. Krumpe's customer waiting area is about the size of your average NYC kitchen apartment. A lone register sits on the counter with an elderly woman behind it. Behind her sits rows of circular sugary dreams. Made in house (you can see them coming off the press) you can purchase these donuts still warm. This ain't your everyday Dunkin Donut my friend. Cheap and delicious ( I think we got 2 dozen for $10 + a dozen donut holes for $2 or $3) Krumpe's is well worth a drive into the night.
(5)terrence d.
Hot donuts at 1 am, the original local version of crispe creme only better. Recommend stopping at night while the donuts are hot and fresh. the next day at local business is a good 2nd bet.
(5)Kara M.
Too legit to quit. Friday nights are packed. Ask for the hot fresh glazed :) New flavors usually not that great i.e. key lime.
(4)J D.
If you can get past the, "I might be mugged in the parking lot" feeling you will get to taste the heavenly taste of Krumpe's donughts. Nothing better!

Ahh. The classic Donut shop. This is the place you couldn't find unless someone showed you how to get there. It's so good that you wouldn't mind getting lost on the way. With hours from about...7p.m. to around 3a.m., they are making and serving the best donuts around.
(5)Pamela S.
I hate donuts, but these are great! Good flavor, excellent texture with a homemade feel. It's effective comfort food.
(4)Judy S.
I never understood what the fuss about Krispy Kreme was all about ... and I miss Hagerstown and I miss Krumpe's and if they'd give me their recipe, I'd be their first franchisee!
(5)Julie B.
A Hagerstown landmark. No matter where you go, you won't find a better glazed donut. Or a donut shop, in an alley, only open at night. Coming into to town for a visit, our first stop is always Krumpes.
(5)Kristi B.
The doughnuts here are the best you'll find anywhere. They're fresh and tasty, and infinitely better than anything you'll find at the national chains or grocery stores. The only down side, and the only reason I took off a star, is that the two young ladies working at the counter provide terrible customer service, and they are dumb as a box of rocks. I took my mother-in-law and sister-in-law - who are from the UK - to Krumpe's so they could experience doughnuts as doughnuts were meant to be. The girls behind the counter (one blonde, one brunette, both probably local high school students) noticed their accents, and proceeded to ask questions like "Do you have different money in England, or do you use dollars?". I was expecting them to ask if they had electricity and cars in England next. They asked my in-laws questions for a good five or ten minutes while the line grew behind us and customers became increasingly irritated by the delays. I have to say, that really diminished the experience for me and my in-laws. I have not been back since.

Krumpe's Do-nut shop is one of my all-time favorite stops! Krumpe's small store-front is filled with all sorts of fresh (and sometimes warm) donuts to try. The scent alone is worth a visit. My personal favorite thing to order is a bag of mixed do-nut holes. We always order the glazed and chocolate cake varieties, along with a mix of whatever else is available. My husband and I usually devour them in the car on our drive home. It is the most delicious way to end a date night or night out with friends. While ALL of the donuts are ridiculously delish, the classic glazed do-nut is by far my favorite. It will literally melt in your mouth, leaving nothing but a sweet and buttery taste to savor. Only open Sunday to Friday from 7pm - 2am, Krumpe's is the perfect stop for late-night munchies. Note that they are not open Saturday nights. I've sadly made this mistake many times - dreams crushed! Krumpe's is tucked away on Donut Alley, so first timers beware - it's really not visible from the main roads. Just trust that if you drive down Donut Alley, you can't miss it! If they're busy, parking will be hectic, so be prepared to squeeze your way through. As far as cost, Krumpe's is a steal! We've always ordered way too many donuts and have always spent under ten bucks. Krumpe's is Hagerstown's hidden gem; a place that locals take pride in and foodies should flock to. If you haven't been here yet, you HAVE to try it. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Danielle K.
Great donuts!!! Krumpes is a family owned business and the service was excellent and the owner is super friendly. I told them it was our first time and they gave us a free donut to try. Super reasonable prices! A dozen donuts for $6! Definitely recommend!!! Will be back for more
(5)Elizabeth A.
We absolutely loved Krumpe's do-nuts! The place has limited hours 7pm-2am but if you have the opportunity to try them -- this is a must do! The place is a little tricky to find. It is literally located in do-nut alley. We had not even tried the donuts yet but we knew we were going to love them. Who wouldn't love do-nut alley! The glazed donuts are amazing, as are the apple cinnamon donuts. The place is tiny and there is a line going out the door but you won't be disappointed.

The location down a residential alley and the odd hours also add to the charm.

Ask for the warm-glazed donuts! When they come practically right after being glazed, they melt in your mouth. This place will have you craving donuts!

Hands down the only place to go to get some of the freshest and best donuts in western Maryland. You have to make sure you get there early though if you want the full selection because krumpe's isn't a secret anymore and they get packed quick. The low price and unmatchable quality and freshness make this a must visit if you're anywhere near Hagerstown after 7pm.
(5)Katie P.
My coworker brought in donuts from here this morning and I had to find out where he got them from they were so good. I chose a cinnamon twist and it was the best I've ever had. I wish I lived closer to Hagerstown because I would make this a weekly thing. SO good.
(5)Kyle A.
Just moved here from Southern Indiana and was BLOWN AWAY at how AMAZING these donuts were! We're definitely Krempe's fans for life!
(5)Jessica B.
This seriously has to be one of the best donuts I have ever tasted and this is coming from a New Yorker! On the recommendation of my sister in law I tried their donuts. They are hot and fresh and cheap compared to New York prices. I had a glazed donut and a Apple filled donut. Oh my gosh it had to be one of the best glazed donuts I've ever tasted in my entire life. It was hot and fresh and it literally melts in your mouth. Awesome awesome donuts. Keep up the good work guys!
(5)Katie W.
I love this place. I even love the sassy teens that give you the donuts. Simply perfect and I hope this place never changes. The smell alone is incredible.
(5)Chuck R.
Yay Krumpe's!! *squeals* By far the best around, and yes, I've had my share of donuts... Love the location on Donut Alley!
(5)Melody T.
Donuts aren't vegetarian. Staff is uninformed about ingredients. My friends and I had been told by multiple cashiers that donuts contained no eggs or dairy until another one told us they not only contained eggs but were fried in lard. Incredibly disappointed - I love Krumpe's.
(3)Elizabeth A.
We absolutely loved Krumpe's do-nuts! The place has limited hours 7pm-2am but if you have the opportunity to try them -- this is a must do! The place is a little tricky to find. It is literally located in do-nut alley. We had not even tried the donuts yet but we knew we were going to love them. Who wouldn't love do-nut alley! The glazed donuts are amazing, as are the apple cinnamon donuts. The place is tiny and there is a line going out the door but you won't be disappointed.

Tonight was the first time I would say the trip to Hagerstown from wv wasn't worth it . The service was horrible like I was bothering them being there ! Hello this is your job to wait on people ! I ended up not gettin what I wanted because I was rushed thru the line . It will be awhile before I return again
(3)Meg K.
As a NJ native I have tried all the famous donuts. I usually take one bite and move along. I am typically NOT a donut person. I actually went for the second bite and could have kept going. Worth the drive
(5)Rebecca B.
Awesome, local donut place. Only open 7pm to 2am. A little tricky to find - but worth the GPS navigating. Carry out only - but the aroma of donuts makes you want to linger as long as you possibly can while you are ordering. Fantastic, local gem in Hagerstown. Everything is excellent - both yeast and cake donuts.
(5)Stephanie S.
My daughter brought home a dozen of these a day or so ago. THEY ARE THE BEST! It has been 2 days and they are still amazing. I think a trip up there tonight is on my must do list.
(5)Kathryn L.
As a self proclaimed donut enthusiast. It's a are to say these are some of the greatest donuts I've ever had. This place shines.
(5)Danielle M.
Downright awesome! A must try!!! They are so much better than Dunkin or even Krispy Kreme for that matter. I don't give 5 stars away without earning them and this donut shop earns them and more! Enjoy!!
(5)Coco A.
These donuts are the best. Forever and always. Id travel miles to eat them. There are so many varieties. And cheap! The boys who look like high school or college students are friendly too.
(5)Cuy M.
Fantastic Donuts, they should rename it to Krackeez, because once you eat one that's it, you're hooked.
(5)Jeremy R.
These donuts are to die for!!! I have never tasted anything better than these. Biggest thing to remember is you have to try them fresh, and the best way to get that is to go when it is busy. You may have to wait a little in the line, but it is completely worth the wait. I go there at least twice a month now. The specialty donuts can be good depending on what you get, but not quite as good as the normal glazed donuts since those cannot be fresh.
(5)Spike P.
Some of the best donuts you'll ever eat in your life. Every time I come up to this area, we always stop for some great donuts and milk.
(5)Amy S.
These are what donuts were meant to be. If they're available, grab some hot donut holes fresh from the glaze. I dare you to try to make it home without devouring the entire bag.
(5)Tim K.
These donuts taste great and are a good value.
(4)Diane L.
If you go Outlet shopping in Hagerstown....make sure you stop by Krumpe's DO-Nut Shop because they make the very best donuts. They are better than Crispy Cream Donuts and Dunkin Donuts. These are made the old fashion way and that's why they are the best.
(5)Katy L.
Great family-owned-buisness, incredibly priced, great donuts and unique location. It's a comfort, a treat, and a MUST!
(5)Tyler P.
Krumpe's DO-Nuts is a destination and a household name in the thriving metropolis of Hagerstown, Maryland. It is a family fun business very invested in their customers and community. So much so, that the Mayor and Town Council re-named a street "DoNut Alley" Having grown up just down the road from this masterpiece of sweet goodness- I will admit I am biased in their favor. Dunken will never hold the same kind of place in my heart that Krumpe's does. Their product is far superior, their service is homegrown and friendly, and you can stand there and watch how they make these suckers. How much better does it get? If you are passing through Western Maryland- it is worth the little bit of effort to try their wares. Even if it is just to see the DO-Nut maker in his signature paper hat!
(5)Florence K.
Puts Krispy Kreme to shame, for sure! This no fuss, no muss type of donut shop is the perfect way to end (they open at 7pm) or begin your day! My particular favorite is the cinnamon twist. Light, fluffy, airy and sweet... it's a nice balance of sugar and spice. If you're looking for a filling meal, go for the peanut butter or bavarian creme donut... Any way you choose, you just can't go wrong!!! Worth the trip out to Hagerstown!
(5)Pawalee A.
LOVE it!! Best donut ever. Cant stop eating. I went there 3 time last week and i brought my friend there to give her a try and she loves it as well. We are getting fat now. LOL Glazed and holes are the best.
(5)Sarah M.
It's not a donut shop, it's an experience. You're driving down a back alley, in the dark, when all of a sudden there are lights and cars parked wherever they can and hot donuts through an entrance in what looks like someone's back garage. What definitely was someone's back garage before it became the local donut Mecca. When ordering, I always ask what is hot right then, and haven't been disappointed. One time it was rum raisin, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but I got it anyway, and it was of course delicious. I have tried many flavors this way. Definitely get whatever is hot and eat it right there, sitting in your car with the door open so the glazed sugar flakes can fall on the ground, while you watch other intrepid donut hunters pull up and get out of their cars, squinting in surprise. Good times.
(5)Jesus C.
Krumpe's is perfect. If anyone ever finds themselves within a 200 mile radius of Hagerstown, it would be a massive sin not to come here and enjoy their fried or baked (cake) donuts. And anyone outside of that 200 mile radius should reevaluate their life choices as to why they are not closer and fix that fact. The Krumpe's crew are masters of their art. every other non-Krumpe's donut you eat will taste like stale putrid slug faeces after you've had the glorious krumpe's donut.
(5)JenniLynn H.
LORD HAVE MERCY. If you are lucky enough to get there when the glazed donut holes are still warm, buy a few dozen. You will eat them all. And then you will come back to Yelp and thank me for being so awesome.
(5)Douglas H.
There is nothing better on the planet than getting a hot and fresh Krumpe's Donut. We lived here for 2 years before we found out about this place. It is one of Hagerstown's best kept secrets. I have stood in lines 40 people deep just to get them. Their service is quick and very friendly, although since they started taking credit cards, it's slowed down a bit. They have a nice variety of donuts. When my Dad comes to town, which is every Thanksgiving week, he calls them ahead of time and they get his order ready. He started doing this because he comes into town late and if you get there close to closing time, don't expect a big selection. If you are driving through town between the hours of 8pm and 1am, get off I-70 exit 29 North. Better have GPS, because DoNut Alley is not the easiest to find, but once you do, you'll never forget it.
(5)Alice G.
The Krumpe's are Hagerstown royalty and should be treated as such. Also, cold milk and a warm do-nut is what they serve Jesus in Heaven for breakfast. The proof is in how heavenly this combination tastes every time I consume it.
(5)Keith B.
Finally got a chance to visit Krumpe's. These babies are some darn tasty donuts that blow away anything that Dunkin or Krispy Kreme could ever produce. I got a variety of yeast raised and cake donuts and there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. My biggest peeve is the odd hours of 7 pm-2 am. Not the place to go if you are looking for good donut for breakfast (unless you work a night shift and/or you are a REAL EARLY riser). The business model Krumpe's goes for appears to be a wholesale operation who happens to do a little retail on the side instead of being a retail establishment. Hence the odd hours and the kind of unusual location. The inconvenient hours are the only reason I can't give it 5 stars, otherwise if you find yourself in Hagerstown overnight, make a run to Krumpe's and get one the best donuts in the area.
(4)Nicole L.
Perfect late night dessert and early morning breakfast. I only wish we had this on the west coast. Only but the best donut ever!!!!!
(5)Mikey B.
No trip to Hagerstown would be complete with out a donut from donut alley! America may run on dunkin , heaven runs on Krumpes!
(5)Rajiv D.
I don't even eat donuts, but this place is ridiculous and will make a convert out of anyone. And the kids just think this is a slice of heaven. A little shop, in a small alley behind a house, which is a little hard to find. But the donuts are amazing!! And they are fresh every night - the place only opens late in the evening. The variety of donuts is amazing!! I say, if you are in Hagerstown, MD for any reason, you have to hit this place. Heck, if you are driving past Hagerstown, this is a reason to stop.
(5)Rich J.
Krumpe's is definitely better than the usual chain. Like most really good donut shops, it's not part of a major shopping destination, but it's not that difficult to find. You take the Rte 632 exit from I-70 (last one before I-81 going West) drive toward town and you'll see their sign just as you reach an older residential area. The store is a couple short blocks to your right. Donut lovers usually have their biases. I prefer cake to glazed, cream filled to jelly filled and iced to plain. The emphasis here is on filled and cake-style, although I did see plenty of glazed. The donuts aren't excessively sweet like Krispy Kreme nor bland like Dunkin. The icing tends to flake off and the eclair was a little too doughy for me. The cream fillings are flavorful and not overly sweet. The price is definitely right (much cheaper than Krispy Kreme). I thought the donuts were better the next morning. Fresh out of the fryer, they tended to have a little bit of a cooked taste. Next morning, that was gone and the taste of the filling and different flavors was better integrated into the donut.
(4)Misty A.
I got the Krumpe Kravin' !! Each and every time I go "back home" , a night trip to an alley in the south end of town is a must. The first time I went here, I was skeptical. Who wouldn't be ? Someone says "I know this great place", then they take you at night, down an alley. When I walked into this tiny, tiny place the aroma of yumminess captured me. There is nothing better than a warm donut right off the glazer. Each time I go here, I always get a minimum of a dozen glazed donut holes. Never once were any left by the time I got to the end of the alley. Friendly staff and great product. That is a recipe for success. My favorite donut: Chocolate Covered Cream Filled.
(5)Jenn K.
Two words for you: Glazed Donut. Donuts are always a delicious little treat, but Krumpe's donuts are special. Get them hot out of the oven and it borders a religious experience. They are lighter than air, fluffy, and full of flavor. As a bonus, they don't leave that film of grease on the roof of your mouth. They are just perfect. We are not in Hagerstown often, but it's a must-do experience when we are! Dee-lish!
(5)Michael K.
I lived in Hagerstown MD for 8 months while working down at the West Virginia Air National Guard Base in Martinsburg WV. My family came up for spring break and we were looking for something sweet to eat on Saturday afternoon. I found Krumpe's DO-Nut's while doing a Google search. We drove to Krumpe's hoping for a snack. Well, we were all pretty bummed when we got there and they were closed. You see they are closed on Saturdays and when they are open; Sunday thru Friday, their hours are 7pm to 2am. Now that's my kind of hours... I'm a night owl. So of course after the family went back home I had to check this place out. Their glazed DO-Nut's are awesome. The other Do-Nut's are really good too. Prices are really cheap and the staff is really nice. Tell them it's your first time and they will give you a free Do-Nut... Mmmmmmm. This is a must try if you are ever passing through Hagerstown between 7 pm and 2 am Sunday thru Friday.
(5)mcbealer X.
Visiting Krumpe's, especially in the wintertime, is a magical late night activity! Just don't go Saturday night because they're closed!! You can get your do-nuts on HOT right off the press, and they'll even sell you unfilled do-nut shells if you want ... to .... say ... spoil your dog and not have them eat gobs of sugar. Drenched in local history (since 1934) Krumpe's is also a fun place to take kids and out-of-town guests.
(5)Larry B.
Krispy Kreme makes donuts, Krumpe's makes something better! It's an adventure to visit the shop which is only open from 7PM until 2AM. My wife hates me to taking her there - she can't resist them, and she never liked donuts before going here.
(5)Matthew S.
My Krumpe's experience began at night w/ a drive through downtown Hagerstown. Two quick rights later we were driving down what seemed to be a back alley of some sort, and there glowing to our right was an 'open' sign. Krumpe's customer waiting area is about the size of your average NYC kitchen apartment. A lone register sits on the counter with an elderly woman behind it. Behind her sits rows of circular sugary dreams. Made in house (you can see them coming off the press) you can purchase these donuts still warm. This ain't your everyday Dunkin Donut my friend. Cheap and delicious ( I think we got 2 dozen for $10 + a dozen donut holes for $2 or $3) Krumpe's is well worth a drive into the night.
(5)terrence d.
Hot donuts at 1 am, the original local version of crispe creme only better. Recommend stopping at night while the donuts are hot and fresh. the next day at local business is a good 2nd bet.
(5)Kara M.
Too legit to quit. Friday nights are packed. Ask for the hot fresh glazed :) New flavors usually not that great i.e. key lime.
(4)J D.
If you can get past the, "I might be mugged in the parking lot" feeling you will get to taste the heavenly taste of Krumpe's donughts. Nothing better!
(5)Kimberry T.
I love krumpes im very picky about my donuts but this place is awesome. there's something special about their donuts but i can't quite put my finger on it.but sadly im no longer living in the east coast, and i miss them soo much!
(5)Chizlum M.
If you love donuts, this is the place. Everyone donut I have tried is delicious, but my favorite is the Long John. Yummy.
(5)Trent R.
Krumpe's is a Hagerstown institution. It has been a place to have a great late night snack my entire life. I have so many favorites but I must say the Cinnamon Twist donuts are my personal favorite. Everything here is handmade and delicious! I suggest taking some milk with you and eating them right there in the parking lot!!
(4)alexandra r.
Ahh. The classic Donut shop. This is the place you couldn't find unless someone showed you how to get there. It's so good that you wouldn't mind getting lost on the way. With hours from about...7p.m. to around 3a.m., they are making and serving the best donuts around.
(5)Pamela S.
I hate donuts, but these are great! Good flavor, excellent texture with a homemade feel. It's effective comfort food.
(4)Judy S.
I never understood what the fuss about Krispy Kreme was all about ... and I miss Hagerstown and I miss Krumpe's and if they'd give me their recipe, I'd be their first franchisee!
(5)Julie B.
A Hagerstown landmark. No matter where you go, you won't find a better glazed donut. Or a donut shop, in an alley, only open at night. Coming into to town for a visit, our first stop is always Krumpes.
(5)Kristi B.
The doughnuts here are the best you'll find anywhere. They're fresh and tasty, and infinitely better than anything you'll find at the national chains or grocery stores. The only down side, and the only reason I took off a star, is that the two young ladies working at the counter provide terrible customer service, and they are dumb as a box of rocks. I took my mother-in-law and sister-in-law - who are from the UK - to Krumpe's so they could experience doughnuts as doughnuts were meant to be. The girls behind the counter (one blonde, one brunette, both probably local high school students) noticed their accents, and proceeded to ask questions like "Do you have different money in England, or do you use dollars?". I was expecting them to ask if they had electricity and cars in England next. They asked my in-laws questions for a good five or ten minutes while the line grew behind us and customers became increasingly irritated by the delays. I have to say, that really diminished the experience for me and my in-laws. I have not been back since.
(4)Bob B.
Krumpe's is authentic. Krumpe's is "echt". Tourists from Asia and Europe should pay an extra dividend and ride on buses to experience what otherwise only is treasured by Americans from small towns. It's not just the amazing donuts. It's the family-run business. It's the history and the community. If you want to do a road trip, there's parking down "donut alley" for your ride! Only open late at night, and never on a Saturday(!!!). And every Mardi Gras you HAVE to go for their "fastnachts".
(5)Tony M.
And in conclusion..... Simply the best donuts in the world. I moved to Baltimore 10 years ago but still pick up Krumpe's and introduce coworkers and friends to the greatest export Hagerstown has. I've never found a person who claims to have had a better donut. Thank you Krumpe's for staying true to the art form! You are the last thing of my childhood that has remained the same. Keep doing it right!!!!
(5)Shaun S.
Maybe nostalgia, the odd hours, or the tray line style of service add to the draw for Krumpe's, but these are some good donuts. You could head to Sheetz or DD to grab a standard premade donut; at Krumpe's you can get a fresh donut right out of the glazer. Some of the best donuts are the Donut of the Month. The Key Lime donut is amazing, and I wish they kept that one in regular rotation. If you are in or near Hagerstown late night, then stop by Krumpe's.
(4)Ann P.
I am going to be completely honest. I can totally see the reason this place has 5 stars. It's most likely the best spot to get donuts in the Hagerstown, md area. However, being that I eat a lot of these tasty treats in huge major cities, I have had real donuts. I would not consider this a five star donut shop. The town is very old and I believe the people in the city appreciate it much more than people outside of the city (who have tried donuts elsewhere). So if you have had real delicious donuts before then I assure you it will not be 5 stars in your book. I do have to mention that the donuts are super cheap! It's a little less than 4$ for half a dozen donuts. I mean in DC I pay 4$ for one donut. So considering the cheap price it's worth the eat.
(2)Jane P.
Doughnuts here are not that great. I'm confused how this place had five stars when I went to it. They are freshly made and apart from that there is nothing great about them. They look and taste close to super market doughnuts. I was extremely disappointed especially since I was so hyped about this place.... Original doughnuts were the best I think.
(2)Jean K.
Here's a fantastic little off-hours discovery: Krumpe's DO-Nut Shop. It's somewhat of a midnight snacker's dream. There wasn't a soul in sight driving through this moonlit industrial looking area in Hagerstown. Then, a short drive down a small dark alley aptly named "Donut Alley" revealed a bright neon sign beaming the word: OPEN. Who is this Krumpe? It includes generations of donut makers which began with Mother Krumpe in the early 1900s. Now, Grandpa Krumpe's photo is on the wall, while Papa and Son Krumpe continue the donut making tradition today. As first timers to the store we were offered a free glazed donut. So tasty. Fresh, homemade fillings and a peanut butter twist donut that was featured in Esquire as one of the best late night foods: esquire.com/_mobile/feat… . The store is only open from 7pm until 2am. We stopped in after midnight and saw several customers including regulars come in for their late night donut fixes. Super friendly service, delicious fresh donuts with homemade filling and open until 2 am. Get your midnight snack on.
(4)Jeff S.
Was in Hagerstown for the week and I had to try this out on my last night in town after seeing so many 5 stars. The fact that Krumpe's opens for the night shift is definitely intriguing so I made sure to have enough room left after dinner for a warm donut. Like the reviews say, it's hidden down an alley so Google Maps and Yelp's maps only get you in the right vicinity. There's a sign on the corner prior to the alley but at night it's tough to read. The good news is after circling a few times you will see a bunch of cars head in that direction so you know you are close. Thankfully when I got there, the line was quite short. I picked up a dozen for the next morning and absolutely had to try a hot glazed donut. Donut was good - light and fresh - but nothing mindblowing (especially compared to Donut in NYC and Glazed and Infused in Chicago). I had a chocolate cake donut the next morning and that was solid as well. I believe that the late start, the donut alley, and quaint little house where the donuts make up a large portion of the love for Krumpe's. The donuts were good but not extraordinary.
(3)Danielle K.
Great donuts!!! Krumpes is a family owned business and the service was excellent and the owner is super friendly. I told them it was our first time and they gave us a free donut to try. Super reasonable prices! A dozen donuts for $6! Definitely recommend!!! Will be back for more
(5)Corinne M.
Hagerstown's best kept secret (well, ok, not really a secret). Hidden away down an alley - aptly named Donut Alley - off of Maryland Avenue, your first impression might be wondering why you're willingly going down a dark alley. Keep going, it's so worth it. You'll soon be greeted by the bright lights of Krumpe's Donut shop, the smell of donut grease and sweet toppings filling the air, and the sight of many other excited patrons waiting to get their hands on these fresh donuts - depending on what day and time you go. Friday nights are undoubtedly the busiest. There is nothing quite like a Krumpe's run after a night at the bar, after all. Or after a football game. Or after dinner and a movie. It doesn't matter - anytime is Krumpe's time. Krumpe's is open 7 pm - 2 am Sunday night through Friday night. A total dream for those midnight snackers, sober or not. You can walk away with a dozen donuts for a couple of bucks. (Or donut holes for like...what, $2-3?) I never want to imagine a life without Krumpe's Donuts. So fresh, so warm, so delicious. You're literally ordering donuts fresh off of the conveyor belts - some of them haven't even been glazed or powdered yet. I've gone in here and ordered glazed donuts and they've had to ask me to wait while they glaze them - THAT is how fresh these suckers are. OMG. I'm literally drooling as I'm writing this review. You people do not know pain until you live 4,800 miles away and can't say, "I'm going to go get Krumpe's tonight." My heart is breaking into a million pieces right now knowing that I can't have the amazing freaking wonderful fresh deliciousness that is Krumpe's. Someone please eat some for me. Specifically a glazed chocolate cake donut, a peanut butter twist donut, a classic glazed donut, a cinnamon raisin bun, and whatever the donut of the month is, because whatever it is, I'm sure it's out of this world delicious. Oh - and don't forget the milk!
(5)Lauren M.
Krumpe's Do-nut shop is one of my all-time favorite stops! Krumpe's small store-front is filled with all sorts of fresh (and sometimes warm) donuts to try. The scent alone is worth a visit. My personal favorite thing to order is a bag of mixed do-nut holes. We always order the glazed and chocolate cake varieties, along with a mix of whatever else is available. My husband and I usually devour them in the car on our drive home. It is the most delicious way to end a date night or night out with friends. While ALL of the donuts are ridiculously delish, the classic glazed do-nut is by far my favorite. It will literally melt in your mouth, leaving nothing but a sweet and buttery taste to savor. Only open Sunday to Friday from 7pm - 2am, Krumpe's is the perfect stop for late-night munchies. Note that they are not open Saturday nights. I've sadly made this mistake many times - dreams crushed! Krumpe's is tucked away on Donut Alley, so first timers beware - it's really not visible from the main roads. Just trust that if you drive down Donut Alley, you can't miss it! If they're busy, parking will be hectic, so be prepared to squeeze your way through. As far as cost, Krumpe's is a steal! We've always ordered way too many donuts and have always spent under ten bucks. Krumpe's is Hagerstown's hidden gem; a place that locals take pride in and foodies should flock to. If you haven't been here yet, you HAVE to try it. You will not be disappointed.
(5)Amy L.
Delicious donuts, especially when fresh. Glazed are the best. Also really like the chocolate cream filled. As other Yelpers have said, the donuts have to be good for folks to line up, at night and sometimes in the extreme cold, to purchase them. Worth the trip, at least once if you're in Hagerstown - any night but Saturday! The flow of traffic thru the very tiny storefront could be improved by (1) putting in another door - so 1 could be in & 1 could be out and/or (2) putting arrows or footprints on the floor so customers can see how to move thru efficiently.
(4)
