Late-night doughnut cravings don’t have to go unsatisfied in North Carolina. From Charlotte to the coast, a handful of shops keep their doors open well past dinner, ready to serve warm glazed treats when midnight munchies strike. Whether you’re wrapping up a concert, pulling an all-nighter, or simply craving something sweet after dark, these ten spots have you covered.
1. Krispy Kreme — South End (Charlotte)
Charlotte’s South End location made history by installing Krispy Kreme’s very first 24-hour doughnut vending machine. Even when the counter staff heads home, you can still grab a three-pack of glazed perfection any time the craving hits. The actual store keeps generous hours too—open until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.
Located at 2116 Hawkins Street, this flagship shop combines convenience with innovation. No need to wait for morning; just walk up to the machine, make your selection, and enjoy fresh doughnuts in seconds. It’s a game-changer for night owls and shift workers across the Queen City.
