Rumor Check: Krispy Kreme announces it will stop serving coffee and become a donut-only chain starting next month. Real or Fake? Viral posts claim the company, citing a "strategic shift to focus on their core product," will phase out all hot and cold drinks by the end of February. This is Fake. Krispy Kreme has confirmed to fact-checkers that this rumor is completely unfounded and that coffee sales remain a key part of their business, with no plans to eliminate beverages.
