Someone couldn't wait for the picture to be taken before diving in!
Stephanie A.

Had a hankering for donuts, admittedly this was not my first choice but the place I wanted to go was sold out so thought I'd give this place a try. I walked in on a Friday evening and was greeted by a cheerful young lady. She gave me the run down and told me which ones were her favorite. These donuts weren't really what I was looking for but I enjoyed them none the less. I was really looking for a Boston Cream or jelly filled and though I got a variety of flavors the base donut was the same - a cake donut. If you love a cake donut, this is the place to go. And I'll say, it was a great version. It was light and freshly made - the box was still warm when I got home. The staff did a great job and worked quickly on every order. They even showed me the final result before boxing it up to make sure I was happy. These were a big hit when I got them home and it was really hard to choose a favorite. I missed having a jelly filled but I got a jelly topped and it was yummy!!

I'm from out of town, but a coworker picked up an assortment of these donuts for breakfast, one morning and I was NOT disappointed. I tried a piece of the cookies & cream, s'mores, and chocolate icing with rainbow sprinkles. I couldn't just choose one so I gladly sampled them all! They are not overly sweet and were all unique in their own way. I also love their Duck the Line marketing on their box, to encourage online ordering. Clever use of their product name there!

Fluffy and soft, like biting into a cake

Ordered a dozen donuts. First time ordering so didn't know they make your donuts right on the spot after your place your order! If you're in a hurry to go, definitely place an order online first so it won't take long. The donuts are great. Very soft, moist and flavorful. Not too sweet or greasy.

half the donuts had their toppings and remains on the top of the box. My brother spit out his donut because of the foul putrid taste of the donut. The donuts were burnt

Decided to give Duck Donuts another try. I like their online ordering system. It's very easy to scroll through their recommended creations and customize your own donuts. I chose their pina colada, chocolate explosion, chocolate caramel crunch, and build you own donut (blueberry glaze with rainbow sprinkles and vanilla drizzle). The donuts are reasonably priced ($1.65), however, some of the toppings (sprinkles and Oreos) are sparse. They were ready about 6 minutes after ordering them online. I took them to go, although they do have outdoor seating available. As I thought after my first visit, the donuts are too heavy for my preference. Personally, I prefer light donuts with lots of toppings. The greasiness of these donuts overpower the flavor of the glaze and toppings. I would recommend these for someone who does like heavy cake donuts. They will certainly fill you up so you only need/want to eat one!

Blueberry Lemonade, Maple Bacon, powdered sugar & cinnamon sugar

I love love love these donuts! They really are different because they are fried in a way that leaves them just a little crunchy on the outside. Plus all of the flavor options you can't go wrong.

These donuts are amazing!!! I had four assortments delivered to my workplace today to celebrate an employee's work anniversary, and they were fantastic! I loved the chocolate lover's assortment the most, but the Duck dozen and Valentine's day lover assortments were also super tasty. Get this - the donuts were still warm after being delivered from 12-15 minutes away! All of my coworkers became Duck Donuts fans today if they were not fans already (many of them are!) I highly recommend Duck Donuts for any work event or any reason. You do not need an excuse. What are you waiting for? Visit Duck Donuts and indulge in the best donuts around Wake County!

Hands down the best doughnut place ever! The doughnuts are always made hot and fresh on the spot and the customization options you get is unbeatable! The service has always been ok, nothing special; no one is rude, but no one has ever been super friendly either. The place has always been clean which is a huge plus! If you're looking for an amazing doughnut experience, this is the place for you!

Too good to wait! Kids.

Piping hot and perfect to celebrate anytime. With varied selections you can delight even the pickiest eaters!

See all

All the donuts are the same. The toppings are the only thing that differ. It's a real cakey donut. It's super thick.

Love Duck Donuts. The maple bacon is my favorite! They are more of a dessert to me, than a morning donut. But to each his own

This place really surprised me. We were just looking for a good spot to get a brunchy/lunchy type…read moremeal on our way to the coast, and new there would be a lot of options in this area. So we pulled off, took out the trusty Yelp app, and this place popped up. Pulling it, it was clear that they were popular and busy. We went in and there was a wait, about 15 minutes. We decided to hang around instead of worrying about "making good time" and are glad we did. Once we got a seat, we received great service. Our server always kept our drink full, and checked on us just enough. We never felt like we were searching for her. Looking at the menu, I was surprised to see that the prices were not unreasonable, even though it's a very trendy place. in fact, they had a $10ish lunch menu available with a few selections that even included a drink. I was more in a lunch mood so I went that direction, and got a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. Food came out hot and in a reasonable time even with a full restaurant, so this is a well oiled machine. For the price, I was pretty impressed. I would say the sandwich was about the size of your average CFA chicken sandwich, but had a bold buffalo flavor that I liked a lot. They didn't skimp on the fries, and the ranch complemented it perfectly. We finished up and our server was on top of things getting us the check, so really we still made "good time" on our drive to the coast. I would recommend Brunches to travelers and locals alike!

Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout the entire meal. We ordered the mimosa specialty flight, which included Cloud 9, Tequila Sunrise, Blue Lemon Drop, and Creamsicle. It was a fun and tasty selection. For food, we had the Breakfast Tacos, the All American, and the Shrimp and Grits. Unfortunately, we forgot to take photos of the Breakfast Tacos and the All American, but everything was absolutely delicious. Overall, this was a 10/10.

You can get a punch card for every coffee and get one free on your tenth purchase. They have a great pastry selection. I got an almond croissant to go for my mom on a recommendation from a friend that said it's a can't miss!

The hotel property is charming and thoughtfully designed, with a mix of tables, sofas, and comfortable chairs that create a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We arrived 3/4 past noon and chose to sit in the study/library area rather than the main dining room. I would strongly recommend this option. The study is quiet and comfortable, while the main restaurant area was noticeably louder. The proximity allows you to enjoy the ambiance without the noise. The menu offerings felt fairly typical for this style of restaurant. We tried the skillet cornbread. It was served room temperature and on the dry side. However, the whipped butter that accompanied it was excellent. Unfortunately, the cornbread was not warm enough to melt it, which would have improved the experience. The Italian wedding soup was very good and served properly hot. We also ordered the local lettuces salad with chicken. The salad itself was fresh, but the chicken was visibly dry and tasted the same. Interestingly, placing the chicken into the soup made it more enjoyable. The double cheeseburger was average. The bun struggled to hold together under the two patties and cheese. The flavor was acceptable but not memorable. Our server was exceptional. Attentive, professional, and gracious throughout the meal. The service elevated the the mediocre experience. Overall, Peck & Plume offers a beautiful setting and excellent service. For a quieter meal, request the study/library seating. While the food was satisfactory, it did not quite match the charm of the surroundings. Would we go again? Maybe. If we did, we would order different items. But, we would request Brian as the server.

The strawberries and cream was super delicious and hit my craving just right. The bang bang shrimp tacos had a kick with the sauce, but incorporating pineapple was what gave this a 10/10 for me. It had a sweet and spicy flavor to it, which balanced these tacos to perfection with each bite. The employees behind the counter were extremely friendly. I recommend this spot for anybody who's local or traveling through.
