Ordered a powdered donut and this is all the powdered sugar they gave me...? Is there a shortage on powdered sugar that I'm unaware of?

This place is Get a half dozen assorted, pick your favorite flavors. That's what I did. Most of them were 4.2/5.0 but the peanut was 3.0/5.0 and the blueberry was 4.6/5.0 and my personal favorite, cinnamon bun and s'mores were a 4.9/5.0. The lady who helped us was great as well. She really was a little too good to be honest. Very helpful with suggestions and had our order ready in 2 minutes. Also I'm a Jeep owner and there's a million little ducks that decorate the place. Also they are for sale too! So I bought 3 of them to duck others with. Fun times.

Duck Donuts? Dark dingy Duck Donuts! The variety is great. The donuts are cooked hot for your order. The server was quick to greet customers and moved purposefully between taking and filling orders. Unfortunately, the ample eat-in space needed brightening or better lighting. Also, I could taste the oil that the donut was fried in. Perhaps it needed changing? If you're in the neighborhood and if you have a coupon then try it. Otherwise, this isn't the best experience I've had at Duck Donuts.

This place smelled amazing and the staff was super nice and full of energy! I can still smell it as I lay in bed typing this review and the Donuts. OMGggggggggg the donuts were so so so so so so so so good . Get there asap.

Hot n fresh

Do you love ducks? No? Who cares. They have donuts and they're awesome. Seriously though, they make em fresh to order and they're this thick, chewy batter that... damn, now I want some! Service is fast, unless you have the bad luck of ordering after me. I take my time! I highly recommend ordering at least a dozen and bringing it to friends where you can slice and dice and try a bite of each. You'll be #1 at the party, guaranteed, or your ducking money back.

Half dozen donuts
Brielle R.

The service at Duck Donuts was insanely good. They were SO kind and went out of their way to explain the flavors and shop to us since we have never been before. It was cute inside with lots of ducks and signage everywhere. We got a half dozen donuts for $12.50 and two breakfast sandwiches- one on a donut and one on a bagel. The one on the donut was very much worth it. Super flavorful and sweet and savory. The bagel one was fine and can be skipped. We like the maple bacon donut the most and the others were fine, but definitely not as good. They were made hot and fresh in front of us and overall it was a good experience.

Ruse and grind for all of this deliciousness. What an adventure to come here and see the variety donuts. I love love love this place!! Who knew a donut could be soooo fun lol It was very quiet inside. We missed the rush which was good. The service was amazing

If you enjoy cake donuts then duck donuts is the best option for donuts. There are a ton of varieties to choose from. The donuts are warm and fresh. It does take a few minutes for your donuts to be made so make sure you are not in a hurry to pick up your sweet treat. I like that you can make your own assortment of donuts.

My gosh! These scrumptious little treats were amazing!! My fav was the Blueberry pancake! The staff who served us super friendly and helpful! She gave us a plain one to try and my son was quite pleased. It tasted like yellow cake mix. BYO vanilla Oreo was delish too.

Sarah J.

The donuts are great! The customer service not so much. I thanked the cashier multiple times and she replied begrudgingly. I also thanked the donut decorator and her response was similar. They were both had low energy. Idk maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will try a different location to see if their service is better.

Maple Bacon Donut
Lindsey J.

I never knew this place existed until after walking out of the next door urgent care and in a mood to cheer ourselves up with a donut. We walked in and we're in awe at the made to order donut selection. Price was right and options were plenty. He ordered the cinnamon sugar and I ordered the maple bacon. Both were delivered fresh and warm and in compostable boxes that we reused for lunches before throwing in our bio bin. Cinnamon sugar was amazing. The maple bacon had real, freshly cooked bacon but was a little too rush for my taste. If we are ever in this shopping center again, we will definitely return for another few donuts.

Brandon W.

This place is a hidden gem! If you like Crispy Kreme and enjoy them when you see the "red light," well, you're in for a treat (pun intended)! This place makes all their donuts to order right in front of you! They have many to choose from and you won't be disappointed! Go see what I'm talking about!

Spooky Box with one modification: a pumpkin streusel donut substituted for a "vampire donut" with bacon
Zoya F.

Awesome service, easy parking, and the best donuts in the DC/NoVa area! I lingered at the plentiful seating after getting my box of donuts. I taste tested two before taking the rest home to share. (By the way, I was dubious that the chocolate donut with gummy worm was going to be palatable, but it's my favorite donut of the season...so far!)

Can you believe there was a baby sitting at the bar? Yes , a baby no more than 12 months old eating fries drinking a shot of apple juice. I almost took a picture of this phenomenon but their parents would not have approved. The parents were also an interesting couple. An Ethiopian and an Asian woman. I've never seen that combination with a child sitting at the bar. Anyways, this night was having a weird start. We sat at the bar for a drink . I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir by Evolution. This wine has nice legs . I made the mistake of looking for wine on the bottle list and baby they have $600 dollar bottles of poison at this bar ! Very fancy. My friend had a cocktail not sure which one it was but he didn't like it very much. The bartender put a cinnamon stick and dried orange slice in it, not sure if that helps. When our table was available a nice young lady met us at the bar and escorted us to the dining room. It was very noisy like a cafeteria . We felt more comfortable next to the boss baby at the bar. At least she was quiet enough for us to have a conversation. The food took longer than we expected. We ordered 3 appetizers. Brussel sprouts, duck egg roll, and the fried short rib balls. We had 2 rounds of the starting 3 apps. The duck egg roll was the . The Brussel sprouts were the supporting actors. The fried short rib balls reminded me of fried beef stew. I always order the sides when I'm new to a restaurant and I was not impressed by the carrots. They were served in their natural shape but shaved down . Perfect for bugs bunny. I'd rather mine were chopped in little circles so I can eat like a laaaaady. Not to mention they were still Raw at the core. We sent them back and asked for truffle fries. The fries took forever AND were undercooked. Soggy , oily ... WTH. How do you mess up French fries ? An air fryer could have done a better job with the fries and carrots. Those two mistakes made me lose confidence in an entree. Maybe I'll travel for a brunch experience but I dunno . ‍

He was in the mood for Lahmacun (sounds like Lahamajoun) super thin, crispy pizza topped with a mixture of minced meat with peppers, tomato, herbs, and spices. More fine, light, and delicate than the typical American thin pizza. The service, drinks, and food were beyond stellar in Narman. We felt like the only customers there and were waited on by many staff. The highlight of the day there was their pizza and their beverage presentation and flavors. We came on a weekday night and were the only people there in the end. My husband was impressed at how upscale the restaurant was and it was the finest Turkish restaurant he ever visited. He said it was similar to the hotel dining place he lived at in Turkey. This was our first restaurant in downtown Alexandria and one of our best experiences in Alexandria. The Lahmacun was the finest Turkish pizza my husband ever had. He ordered three of them! Each pizza was served on a large wood board with extra toppings on the side like lemon wedges, cilantro, and onions. They are so fine and thin that you can roll them up to eat. We had to put some of the last pizza aside for take out. I ate the takeout piece and was very impressed how delicious it was after being in the fridge overnight & re-heated. I loved the flavors of the Lahmacun and I don't even care for pizza that much. It is my most preferred pizza in my life ever next to the Crazy Ex in The Thirsty Goat in Clarksville, Tennessee. I ordered a Turkish dish with a rich and ancient history, Hunkar Begendi, or "Sultan's Delight." It dates back several centuries, and it was prepared for the sultans and high-ranking officials, and was served during special occasions and celebrations. The Hunkar Begendi had lamb and velvet soft eggplant with spices. I ordered it with a side of rice. It was very delicious and unique. Yet the Lahmacun despite its simplicity stole the show and cost 1/3 of the price of the Hunkar Begendi. For my beverage, I ordered The Elma. It has a stunning presentation in a smoke filled glass box. The Elma is a beverage with Bourbon, Peach liquor, vanilla maple, Apple butter,Lemon juice, and Apple cider. You have to watch the videos of how it is presented at the table. At the end of our dinner, they played happy birthday and surprised my husband with an ice cream and pumpkin dessert with a candle. So wonderful & heartfelt. It was a fascinating and flavorful dish. The pumpkin tasted like sweet potato & was different. This is a must see place for Turkish cuisine and the finest restaurant service. Prices are low to fair for such high quality food and service. Five Stars.

There is a chance you'll have to wait, and it's probably not a good idea to come with a big group... or even more than maybe three people. They're fairly quick, so if you do wait it won't be for too long. Don't be expecting any fancy foods or heavy creative liberties on the food, so if you're looking for that go elsewhere in Old Town. However, if you want a nice, ole reliable plate of French toast or eggs, toast, and protein (sausage or bacon) then you're in the right place. It's all well priced and affordable. It's a great spot to go to before hitting the main drag on King Street or maybe after a morning stroll or bike ride along the river.

On top of that, the service was quite rude. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, who knows, but it's been a while now and I can't bring myself to go back. If there were at least one redeeming quality between the food and the service (it's a pickup kinda spot so ambiance isn't in the picture) I might have given them a second chance. Alas.

They are currently giving you $20 off on $60+ in the app when you go to the website, so now's a great time to try it. First, the cappuccino was good. No weak flavor here. The farmer's crepe had mushrooms, zukes, so many veggies, and feta. The filling was very flavorful. The crepe is very thin and didn't add or detract from the veggies and I'm ok with that. The fruit plate was pretty (see pic. Haha) and each fruit was the best it could be. Blueberries were perfectly firm enough with great flavor, as was the rest of the fruit. My friend got the salmon avocado toast which I tried. There is a lot of salmon in this entree, as well as avo. The tomatoes and other veggies were great, including the very simply dressed salad.

Overall, a quaint and inviting spot that brings a touch of France to Old Town.

For dessert, we tried the red velvet cupcakes and cookies and milk from the special Halloween menu. Overall I really enjoyed the food! We also ordered a few drinks off the special event menu. They were OK, but since we only tried the drinks from the Halloween pop-up menu, I'd love to come back and explore their regular cocktail menu another time. The staff was friendly, and our waiter shared an interesting bit of history: The Royal is the oldest restaurant in Alexandria, having been open for 100 years! It was a cool detail to learn while dining there. Overall, between the festive Halloween atmosphere, delicious food, cozy heated patio, and friendly service, this was a really enjoyable experience. I'd definitely recommend checking out their seasonal pop-ups and would happily return to try more of their regular menu.
