Krispy Kreme

you're on richmond ave, deep in staten island's mid-island stretch, where the strip malls and surface roads don't exactly scream destination. but krispy kreme is here, at 2643, and that matters more than it might first seem. staten island gets written off by the other four boroughs constantly, which means the places that hold a loyal crowd out here have to actually be worth your time. no foot traffic windfall, no tourist overflow. just the neighborhood, showing up. if you're making the trip, or you already live out this way, it's a reasonable bet that your coffee order lands right. go in the morning, when the day hasn't committed to anything yet.
