Krispy Kreme

T4’s Krispy Kreme is the easiest sugar hit before check-in

Right in Chennai’s T4 international terminal, Krispy Kreme sits in the main departures food area, handy if you want something fast before heading to immigration and security. It’s a grab-and-go counter setup, so think 5–10 minutes, not a sit-down meal. Expect the standard doughnut lineup you know from city outlets, plus coffee and cold drinks at typical mall-style pricing rather than airport markup.

You’ll usually find classic Original Glazed doughnuts alongside assorted flavors like chocolate iced and filled options, sold individually or in boxes of 3, 6, or 12. A single doughnut often prices in the ₹70–₹130 range, while boxes land closer to ₹300–₹700 depending on mix and size. If you’re boarding a late-night international flight from T4, a half-dozen box works well as an easy shareable snack for the family or a gift for whoever’s meeting you at arrivals.

Coffee here is basic but consistent: hot espresso-based drinks, brewed coffee, and a few cold choices, generally in the ₹150–₹250 bracket depending on size and add-ons. It’s not specialty third-wave coffee, but it beats boarding with nothing when your airline from T4 doesn’t load great snacks on shorter regional runs. You can usually walk away with a drink and a doughnut for under ₹300–₹350 total.

Long-haul passengers out of T4 often hit Krispy Kreme after clearing airline check-in but before they line up for immigration, using it as the last quick stop for kids’ snacks or a sugar boost ahead of a 3–4 hour layover at the gate. One practical tip: if you want specific flavors or a full dozen to carry on a morning or late-night departure, buy earlier in the day in T4 rather than assuming everything will still be in stock close to your boarding time.
