Are all donuts in Krispy Kreme suitable for vegetarians?

I have never had anything from there before, but my friends go there all the time, so I thought I would finally ask this question.

I went on their website, I don't see anything Vegan, which I prefer, because I'm a strict Vegetarian.

It says their donuts are made with natual ingredients and are suitable for veggies, but what about their jams and certain cupcakes? Don't they use Gelatin?

    According to veganeatingout.com, no, nothing is vegan friendly.

    Their items ARE vegetarian friendly, if you're lacto-ovo vegetarian:

    So...you could get coffee?

    Why don't you try baking your own donuts? I'm newly Vegan and I have the occasional sweet tooth for a donut but even then I would never have WANT a Krispy Kreme donut (Shipley's FTW!) but after searching all over the metroplex I found that making my own was the only option. (Plus it turned out to be a LOT easier than expected.

    The sourced website below has a awesome and simple recipe but there are so many other options. I even added some cocoa powder to my glaze and made a delicious chocolate covered donut!

    If you want to go all rogue and shape your own donuts so be it, but Michael's has donut baking pans in regular and mini sizes for almost $10 and usually have a 40% off coupon you can get online, so I spent about $5 for one.

    My experience was a hit with all my friends, I hope this helps you!

    If the website says the donuts are good for veggies, then they are :) With how litigious the US is, if there were animal ingredients in the donuts, they have to list them. They'd face a huge lawsuit!

    Jam doesn't use gelatin, so you're good there. Cupcakes shouldn't contain gelatin- I bake cupcakes for farmers markets, and have never seen gelatin in a cupcake recipe that I've tried.

    Stick to your rice cakes and carrot smoothies. Leave the donuts to people who still have functioning taste buds.

    I don't see why someone who chose an alternative diet would have any desire to eat a "Krispy Kreme" doughnut. Ick.
