Fresh to order! Delicious doughnuts and breakfast sandwiches. We each choose our favorite and I had a doughnut sandwich with sausage egg and cheese on a doughnut. Coffee was hot and fresh. We found a seat in the quiet dining area and we enjoyed conversation while waiting for our meal. read more

Took my nephew here on an "Auntie spoiling day" and could not have made a better choice! Big, clean facility. They make the doughnuts to order, so when you get them they're WARM (eat your heart out, Dunkin') and the selection! Wow! Delicious options-- nephew got a confetti doughnut, I got a s'mores doughnut, and we got my sister a plain cinnamon sugar. The picture will have the confetti and cinnamon sugar, as I ate mine too fast to get a pic of! So yeah- VERY tasty. Also the service was fantastic :) Very, very nice staff. If I lived in the area I'd say catch me over there often, trying all the tasty concoctions! Thanks for making our treat day delicious, Duck Donuts!! read more

Not to brightly lit. Nice music at a decent sound level, not to high not too low. Love Very it. Definitely recommend read more

We learned of Duck in Charlotte while at The Salty. Duck serves cake donuts deep fried in soybean oil and then added icing/toppings. Fast service and friendly staff. Donuts were warm but a bit messy to eat since the icing dripped everywhere. All donuts are the same price and it doesn't matter what topping or icing. Think this is a regional store and we have only seen them in NC. read more

I'd never heard of Duck Donuts before visiting Charlotte, NC, and I'm glad I tried them. All of their donuts begin as a vanilla cake donut, then different icings and toppings are added based on the menu option selected. I ordered 4 donuts which were Twix with chocolate, Twix with caramel, smores, and blueberry pancake. So for the Twix chocolate, they will dip the donut in chocolate icing then top with Twix pieces. I enjoyed the donuts and they have over 20 different combinations on offer. Something to note. If you sign up for their text alerts, you will receive a buy one get one free reward. I tried using this reward at this location, but the staff member first said not every location has this promotion. I then showed her my phone where it shows the reward for this location where she then replied she doesn't have a button on the register to accept this reward so I wasn't able to use it and paid full price. I didn't catch this staff member's name, but she wasn't the most friendly. However, as I went down to pick up my donuts, Mariah, the other staff member who was super friendly, asked if my donuts looked ok. I told her about not being able to use the reward where she shared they don't have a scanner to scan customer's QR code with the reward and she has notified the district manager about this. She then offered to make us 2 free donuts since they don't have a scanner. What great consideration and customer service. Thank you Mariah and I will definitely return for more delicious donuts! read more

Duck Donuts - Cinnamon suger - Donuts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Duck Donuts is basically a national brand by now, so most of my donut-loving friends know their work. We've had these donuts in the Outer Banks, and my main concern here in Asheville was tied to long lines and ridiculous waits. But, at 7:45 AM on a Monday, this location was dead, so it was easy to slip in for a half-dozen and get out unscathed. We did two glazed, a cookies and cream, a maple bacon, a strawberry chocolate drizzle and a French toast. Damn, that French toast was good, and most of the other flavors were on point too. The bacon didn't work for me, but otherwise we were in good shape here. $14 for six donuts feels about right. Service was friendly and it took six minutes to get the donuts from order to boxed and ready to go. That's still too long for a guy like me, who expects to walk in and just be handed a box of donuts. But on vacation, I can make this work! read more

They have breakfast sandwiches on donuts, which were good. But the variety of donut flavors/toppings was the best part, although it was very hard to choose. The donuts were all hot and fresh, total game changer. Would highly recommend grabbing a coffee here and satisfying that sweet tooth of yours! read more

Duck Donuts - Blueberry Pancake & Vanilla - Donuts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

This is a brilliant concept. Churn out one base donut and then have a ton (ok maybe 20-30) options for toppings. I don't think I've ever had fresh, hot donuts but this was a game changer. Like seriously. These little ringed beauties were so freakin delicious. My friend and I had the combo with a coffee and 2 donuts. My waistline was happy with 2 but I could have mentally had maybe 4-5 more. Sooooo good The maple bacon was sweet and salty and savory and the s'mores donut was perfect warm. I do wish the donut itself had a little bit more density to it - they gave a little too quickly, so eat these over a napkin or a box. Spacious interior but only 2-3 tables to stand and nibble. You can watch your donuts being made on the donut robot - pretty neat. Great service, friendly staff, great recommendations. So many donuts so little time. Great stop. read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Absolutely fantastic donuts. We liked all twelve that we ordered, but the maple bacon and lemon & raspberry were family favorites.

They were better than average. Due to the fact that the warmth of the donuts puts them over the top... Nice touch touch! The staff were quite friendly as well! read more

Although I've heard of Duck Donuts, I wasn't aware that this was a chain. To our surprise, they make each donut fresh; you can see them put the dough in the oil, as well as glaze and decorate each order. Although I wouldn't consider these fancy, artisanal donuts, their warm, fresh donuts are delicious. I ordered their coffee and two donut combo; they didn't charge me for upgrading to an iced coffee. The combo came with a large coffee and your choice of two donuts -- I chose the Bacon in the Sun and the Beach. My order came out to under $5. As for the service, the workers were very patient with my party; there was five of us looking through the donut selection because we were new customers. The wait was very short, and the workers gladly helped us when we needed more cream, sugar, etc. read more

Duck Donuts - Bacon in the Sun, Beach - Donuts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Never have I ever had a donut made to order just for moi, until I found this place! O M G!!! Every doughnut is made fresh to order starting with a fried vanilla doughnut as the base, which can be enjoyed in all it's pure deliciousness or upgraded with toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate frosting, sprinkles, maple and bacon. If you can think of it, they probably have it. I ordered 3 doughnuts, Blueberry, chocolate frosting and cinnamon sugar. Hot dang, first bite love. Second bite I thought, why did I only order 3? Anyway this place is a must try. Located in a shopping complex, parking is ample. Doughnuts are $2.67 if I remember correctly, worth every $. You have to try this place! read more

Awesome experience!! WARM, FRESH donuts. Unique flavors that are seasonal. The peach is amazing!! Brett, the owner, was super attentive and truly cares about the customer experience. Could not recommend this place more! Stop in and get a sweat treat, breakfast sandwich, or coffee! I may or may not have got all 3. read more

I'd never heard of Duck Donuts before visiting Asheville, NC. They were delicious! Warm, with lots of different options and combos for toppings. read more

Honestly I am disappointed ...They have no organized system going quite yet. I know they are new but it was ridiculous. It was like a madhouse. You can either order at the counter or order at a kiosk if you've ever been to crumble cookies. I think they kind of stole their concept. But hey, who am I. Anyway I ordered a dozen assortment and a blueberry milkshake. It literally took them 45 minutes to make my donuts and I had to say something to them in regards to my donuts. I even got into it with another customer who obviously didn't know what was going on but had the audacity to tell me to stop yelling. No sir I'm not going to stop yelling. I want my dozen donuts and I want them now! If you're a donut enthusiast like me, then it is what it is. Unfortunately I won't be back. The donuts did not look that fresh. It was a lot of people talking and chit-chatting over the toppings and if your OCD and a germaphobic then this will not be the place for you. They even thought it was funny that my order was not complete. read more

MAJOR YUM these donuts were SO GOOD I highly recommend their maple bacon it's the best ever they were fresh and warm and altogether delicious read more

The doughnuts are delicious. So many to choose from. We were visiting from out of town and had to visit twice.

Solid choice if you're looking for a standard cake donut with lots of different flavor options. We opted for the Cinnamon Bun and it was good. They start with a base and then add toppings based on your choice, so service was decently fast. I'd say customer service was average. Also got a cappuccino which was decent, they do have an espresso machine. read more

Their donuts are more like cake donuts, not yeast. Softer than yeast donuts. You can customize your own donuts, start with the plain donuts and choose your own topping and icing. They came out super fresh after your order them, I'd recommend to let them cool down a bit before you eat them or they fall apart too easily. A very generous amount of the icing, every flavor I tried was delicious but flavor they really stood out were maple bacon, blueberry pancake, peanut butter and lemon. The icing make them very sweet , too sweet for my liking. Next time I'd try with not icing since I feel like the donut itself would be just as delicious. The workers were very sweet towards us. read more

Truth be told, I love Duck Donuts. I've been to their original location in Duck, North Carolina when I visited the Outer Banks more times than I cared to admit. Driving back from Asheville to Atlanta, I found one along the way, and you know I had to stop. I got nervous as I pulled in because every photo on Yelp showed a huge crowd- a crowd I was also used to in The Outer Banks. When we arrived it was empty! Praise God! Per usual, the staff were beyond friendly. They thanked us for coming. They thanked me for returning back (even though it was another location) and they answered any and all questions. To me, what I find to be the best part of these donuts is that they're truly fresh. You receive them hot and ready- legit hot and ready to eat. I got their blueberry pancake and their French toast. I love, love, loved the French toast because I love their maple frosting. The blueberry pancake was just as good and the blueberry syrup coating was sweet and tangy and fully covering the donut. At $1.40 for a single donut I really think it's an amazing deal. Probably my favorite donuts around. You can get many more flavors. They aren't cake donuts just as an FYI, but they are delicious. And that's a fact. read more

The service was wonderful; however, the coffee is very watery. I ordered a latte with oat milk to ensure that it was a thicker consistency, but there's room for improvement! The donuts were good; however, the selling point really is the variety of flavors and combinations rather than the actual taste. read more

There was a book I read when I was little, Homer Price, that was all about a donut machine going crazy. The cover of the book had a picture of a machine cranking out sweet circles. When I walked into Duck Donuts for the first time, I thought I had walked into the book...nostalgia for the win! My family and I pride ourselves on our donut love. We have debates over cake donuts vs. yeast donuts. We have a divided house over Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts. However, everyone is in accord that Duck Donuts are the best! We love the options and ability to build a donut to our specifications! The only negative for our family is that there is nowhere to sit! We live on the other side of town, so we can't enjoy the hot off the line taste. read more

Amazing!! I thought the base donut would be meh but they're awesome! They were also warm and fresh! Wish we had one of these back home (Tampa, FL) :) read more

Good coffee and solid donuts. Great and unique flavors, but they have just one base donut that they add the toppings too vs baking in flavor in the base. Breakfast sandwiches are a miss. read more

YUMMY!!! The donuts are crispy and well flavored. And the toppings are interesting and well balanced. Although the donuts are best fresh (which they are made to order) the are still delicious the next day. 10/10 recommend read more

This was my first visit to Duck Donuts - OH MY GOODNESS - why did I wait so long? These are delicious cake donuts, made fresh and you pick your topping. The lemon was my favorite, but I will defiantly be back to try other flavors. Located on Merrimon Avenue, the place is convenient. The staff is friendly and when I told the associate it was my first visit, she did an awesome job explaining how the process works. The place was clean and a family with a small dog was enjoying an outside table. Give it a try - if you like donuts you will love this place. read more

We love the Duck Donuts in Georgia and decided to use them to cater our NC wedding! Our guests raved about how delicious & beautiful the donuts were and we couldn't be more thankful for how professional & high quality the entire experience was. Shoutout to Brantly Thomas who was in charge of event catering; he was SO helpful, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure everything was exactly as ordered. The prices are unbeatable, especially for an event as large as a wedding and delivery was seamless! This is a fantastic company for both everyday enjoyment and larger events, plus the donuts are DELICIOUS! 10/10 recommend! read more

Giving this Duck Donuts a middling review. Kudos for their Covid precautions. However, because we won't dine inside, not that they have inside seating, it would have been nice if they had their outside tables and chairs outside. We offered to take them out for them but we were told customers are not allowed to do that. The two young girls working were nice enough. One was definitely more knowledgeable and helpful than the other, making suggestions. We got a variety of four donuts, 2 lattes, and 1 espresso. The donuts were warm and fresh, the coffee unfortunately was not warm enough and wasn't so good. Still, generally speaking, hard to beat Duck Donuts for taste. read more

You have a hard time topping this place. If you're looking for a great cake donut look no further.

There was a cool option to custom build your donut by choosing your toppings, which were then added to a freshly made donut. The donuts are served hot, are slightly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. I ordered one custom donut and a maple bacon donut, and I enjoyed both. The bacon was hot and fresh. I definitely enjoyed the novelty of the custom donut, and the flavor and texture of all the donuts served to our group received praise. read more

Duck Donuts - Custom donut (glaze, Oreo bits, raspberry drizzle) and bacon maple donut - Donuts Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

I am very conservative with my stars. Five stars from me means they're very impressive. The presentation and experience alone got them 2 stars. And the other 3 came from the taste. We ordered 5 donuts and two drinks for 13$. (as opposed to Vortex donuts being 4 mediocre donuts and a small latte for 22$). At Duck Donuts, all donuts are made to order, and you can customize them in any way you'd like. We ordered off the menu (because we panic at too many options). We ended up with S'mores, Maple bacon (we added black berry sauce) Lemon with raspberry drizzle, blueberry pancake, and an oreo one. Stars are as followed for the donuts- S'mores- 5 stars (would give ten if I could. Easily the best donut of the day) Maple bacon- 4 stars (bordering on 5) Oreo- 3 stars Raspberry lemon and blueberry pancake- 2 stars. (only because they are both VERY sweet. It would be great for a child or an adult with a sweet tooth, we just aren't those people. personal preference.) Both the girls working there were awesome. The woman decorating them presented them to us and said "does everything look good? would you like me to add anything?" super nice. It was so fun watching the donuts get decorated and you can even watch them come out of the deep fryer. Such a fun experience. Kid friendly, (would be a cool experience for a kid to watch, as well) plenty of parking, everybody was wearing masks for COVID, great prices, and great options. I don't eat donuts often, but when I do, it'll be here. read more

First, let me explain how this works. When I first walked into Duck Donuts I was confused when I didn't see baskets of doughnuts on display. I walked up to the counter to see a huge sign on the wall of all the toppings you can put on top of their (always) freshly baked vanilla doughnuts. I learned that there is a note pad on a different counter that you can fill out with your specifications to save time, but this time the lovely cashier helped guide me through the process. I made up a few creations in addition to ordering a breakfast sandwhich doughnut; bacon, egg, & Cheese in a warm vanilla doughnut, topped with maple drizzle and crumbled bacon. (Drool.) Now, let me explain that even though I've always had a strong sweet tooth, I've never been fond of doughnuts.... until now. Duck Donuts has forever changed my perception of this sweet round creation. Their doughnuts are so soft and (dare I say) MOIST. They do not taste like any others I've ever had. WITH all of the possible toppings, the possibilities are endless. I have to say though, that the breakfast doughnut was my favorite. Oh my goodness. Yumm! read more
