Cookies & Cream, Blueberry Pancake, Chocolate Caramel Crunch, Strawberry Confetti, French Toast, and Blueberry Lemonade
Christine W.

Their donuts are good! A little on the overly sweet side. Best donuts around are still Monuts. I liked being able to watch the donuts made by the machine. They weren't as beautiful as the pictures, but still good!

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

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.

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!

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

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!

Too good to wait! Kids.
Elizabeth N.

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

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!

Duck Donuts is our reliable stop for the best Donuts ever! They have an array of custom frosting/glazed, 2 toppings, and a choice of drizzle. This was so good, they are made fresh and are served warm. We placed our order online and it was ready for pickup sharp at 8:30 like promised. The maple bacon was a hit with such combination lovers- maple, cinnamon dust, coconut with salted caramel drizzle was mine and it was fantastic! Mad also got the lemon glaze, peach and strudel topping with raspberry drizzle and the flavor was unique perfection. We always hit Duck Donuts in the OBX area but so glad they have one in Cary too!

Oreo and strawberry doughnuts
Jessica C.

This was my first time ever trying Duck Donuts. I've heard so much about them and I've even seen the one in Duck, NC. Alas, I finally got some donuts! They were seriously delicious. I splurged after a long training run and it was such a nice treat. I love that they have featured donuts because I often get overwhelmed by choices on a first visit somewhere. So it was easy to pick a couple of flavors. I went with the Oreo and the strawberry icing with sprinkles and chocolate drizzle. While they were both so yummy, I liked strawberry better because it had more flavors and sprinkles just make everything better. The actual donut base reminded me of a funnel cake from the fair. It's cute that they change their featured donuts seasonally. I might have to try a pumpkin donut before the end of Fall!

Happy National Donut Day!!

Bottom line: Really enjoyable first visit to Morning Ritual. This coffee shop/cafe served up a…read moretasty latte and Egg + Cheese Scramble to start my day off right. Helpful service in a nicely decorated small cafe, a nice stop for getting a morning going. The Deets: Deciding to venture out a bit to try some place new, I found Morning Ritual on the trusty Yelp app and headed off to there. It is joined along side The Goat restaurant on the edge of an apartment complex campus near Brier Creek. I like the look of the building and while noticing there is outside seating available, there is a convenient take out window on the side as well. I went inside and liked the warm, inviting but still slightly modern look of the cafe style seating and ordering area. There are a couple of seats within range of a power outlet and there is WiFi but note it is public/no password/unsecured access, it appears. Their menu shows a good array of beverages and eats to satisfy those morning needs. I decided on a 16 oz hot skim latte to drink to enjoy there and then ordered the Egg + Cheese Scramble which has Monterey Jack and Cheddar and served with one of their biscuits. You order and pay at the register/counter then they give you a table number to take to your seat. My beverage came in well enough time to enjoy while I waited on my food order. My latte was so good that I had no need for additions such as sweetener or syrups and I like the mug with it to enjoy in house. Food came in good time as well, looking pretty tempting. The toasted biscuit was good and I liked it but a tad small bit sweet for a Southern type biscuit (the type that I'm used to/grown up with enjoying). The scramble was really great...I usually do not favor getting cheese in my scrambled eggs but everything was delicious here and perfect texture as well as portion on the eggs themselves in a small cafe setting. There's always that challenge in a new coffee shop/cafe in figuring out their used dishes protocol/station but loved that my server saw me searching and happily took my dishes at the counter for me. I enjoyed this first visit to Morning Ritual and can see me visiting in the future, I like it.

The coffee was actually delicious. The service not so much!…read more To be fair I ordered my coffee with my breakfast at The Goat (the restaurant that Morning Ritual shares the building with) but the coffee is listed on The Goat's menu, so they need to get in sync. Our breakfast ended up coming out before coffee, which made no sense. I had to ask about the coffees before they were actually made. When the girl came from morning ritual She brought out my husbands, hot cappuccino but my mocha out iced and I immediately said I don't drink cold coffee and I did an order iced. Instead of being apologetic, and stating that she would change it, she just snatched the iced coffee and walked away. That was such a strange encounter. It was rude and I got no apology, nor did I get any explanation of what would happen next. I let my server know to ensure I was still going to get a coffee because I can't live without my coffee in the morning! When my Moca loved her honey, oat milk, coffee came I took a sip and was glad i didn't flip out and say "forget the coffee" (as I was already done with breakfast by the time in arrived) because the drink was delicious! If I'm ever back in the area (I was staying in Raleigh but decided to take a little detour into Durham that morning) I'll come to only Morning Ritual to see if I can change this 3 star review for service issues into a 5. For now they need to work on getting coffee service to The Goat streamlined!

This sandwich was plentiful, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Every bite was packed with delicious ingredients! Chocolate Almond Croissant ($6.31) -- Belgian chocolate and almond fondant wrapped inside a wonderfully flaky croissant and topped with roasted almonds. This was an absolute treat. The Chocolate Almond Croissant is simply to die for! While enjoying our food, I couldn't help eyeing the scones, along with their beer and wine selection.

I am from Beverly Hills and I have never seen a restaurant be more out of touch in pricing. They are contributing to a class divide that is common in third world countries. If they are going to charge prices more than luxury restaurants in luxury areas they should probably clean up a lot more. Tables are filthy, they serve you with PLASTIC FORKS and the lines are atrocious bc they are understaffed. This place is a joke.

They were doing everything right, even down to the Dr Brown's, and they had ZERO flavors too. There is a meat and cheese counter,r but most of the length of the shop is pastries, cakes, pies, es and other beautiful-looking treats. We ordered our sandwiches; I had an Italian sub, and it was just ok, kind of dry and lacking in flavor; frankly, Jersey Mike's makes a better Italian. But my wife got theReubenn, and it was simply the best Reuben we've had outside of Katz in NYC. I order Rueben's all the time, and I'm consistently disappointed. Most are dried out, have too little meat, and the corned beef is often dry, but not in this case. The sandwich was truly worthy, and we are ready to go back and have it again. Moist, flavorful meat, a generous portion, and the dressing andkraut weres well balanced. The bread was grilled, not toasted, and was itself rich and flavorful. Altogether, it is a Reuben worth driving a distance to have it. We are already planning to come back and try some of the baked goods, but also get the Reuben again too.
