Summer vacation is here, and it's time to beat the heat with some icy treats. Donut brands Krispy Kreme and Mister Donut have both launched new summer products — including the Krispy Kreme Kool Kreme Coolatta that combines a donut with ice cream for a multi-textured indulgence, as well as Mister Donut’s Japanese-style mochi and brand-new shaved ice desserts, all ready to bring you sweet coolness!

Starting in July, as temperatures soar day by day, Krispy Kreme — known for its endlessly creative desserts — has launched its Kool Kreme Coolatta series in Taiwan for the first time. It pairs soft original glazed donuts with sweet ice cream, delivering a rich yet refreshing double delight for your taste buds. The Kool Kreme Coolatta series comes in two flavors: Chocolate Caramel and Strawberry Caramel. These limited-edition flavors are now available simultaneously at the Xinyi Vieshow, Taipei Main Station, and New Taipei Banqiao stores.

In addition, the ever-popular Japanese-style donut brand Mister Donut is riding the wave of its first wave of matcha season products and adding a second wave in July, with eight new matcha-themed items. These include improved-texture donuts using imported Japanese matcha-flavored chocolate, offering four new matcha-flavored donuts for more diverse tastes — namely, Double Layer Matcha Brioche, Matcha Red Bean Angel Brioche, Double Layer Matcha Almond Croissant, and Matcha Angel French Cruller. Moreover, two original Japanese matcha gift box sets have also been launched in sync with Japan, featuring Matcha Pudding flavors and cute floral designs that are very eye-catching. There are also two new matcha-themed desserts: “Matcha Red Bean Pie” and “Matcha Red Bean Muffin,” plus a savory option, “Seaweed Soy Sauce Mochi.” For frozen treats, four types of refreshing and richly flavored shaved ice are being highlighted: Mango Milk Shaved Ice, Berry Milk Shaved Ice, Matcha Red Bean Shaved Ice, and Rich Chocolate Shaved Ice. A total of 13 new products (priced between NT$35 and NT$280) are being launched all at once with this rich product mix, showcasing Mister Donut’s ambition to capture Taiwan’s summer dessert market.

Matcha season is an important flagship product line for Mister Donut every year. This time, the second wave also includes four matcha donuts sold in sync with Japan, featuring increased matcha content. Not only is matcha powder added during the donut-making process, but matcha-flavored chocolate is also used as the outer glaze, giving a doubly intense matcha flavor that results in a more fragrant and mellow taste: the Double Layer Matcha Brioche launched on July 6, and the Double Layer Matcha Almond Croissant on July 20.
