I was craving donuts one day while visiting CVille and this place popped up on Yelp so we decided to give it a try. I got two of the featured donuts (one was Maple Icing with Chopped Bacon, other one was a peanut butter one but I can't remember the combination :/) and they were both absolutely amazing. The donuts were a good size where the dough to topping ratio worked perfectly. If I come across another Duck Donuts in my upcoming travels, I'm definitely going to be stopping by to try the other flavors! read more

Treat yourself at Duck Donuts! Duck Donuts is one of the few exceptions to my dairy-free diet. I simply cannot resist. These cake based donuts are served warm and in a variety of flavors. I recommend the cinnamon sugar with vanilla icing or the maple donuts. The staff at Duck Donuts have a friendly and welcoming attitude. There are cinnamon sugar donut samples that you can try upon entering the store. Check this place out if you are around Cville or Stonefield! read more

I've heard so much hype about Duck Donuts. So much. So when I realized there was one near my hotel on my last work trip, I decided to check it out. And I'm not gonna lie, I was meh about it. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the original Donut Experiment on Anna Maria Island. Perhaps I just expected more. They were good, but they really didn't live up to the hype. But the coffee was good and the staff was friendly, and id definitely go back if I was there. I just know what to expect now. read more

This was my first time at this Duck Donuts location in Stonefield. Upon entering I noticed how clean and organized everything was, even the bathroom. I was greeted by the awesome and courteous manager, Rebecca. She made sure I received the freshest donuts quickly - showing me the end result of my Halloween mix after it was created. The donuts looked amazing and tasted great. I am glad Rebecca was there to assist me, thanks and see you next time!! read more

Calling all vegans (and non vegans), these are the best donuts I have ever had. Melt in your mouth! We couldn't decide which flavors, so many to choose from! Randy was so welcoming and kind and gave us one to try before we ordered since we were stumped. We never get options as vegans! I could go on and on. Get yourselves over there. I know we will be back! read more

Our kids love to go get the doughnuts! A little more on the pricer end, so we don't get giant boxes. It's definitely a really cool treat place! read more

Update your hours on the web!! I came to buy donuts, 3:00 on Friday afternoon after taking the kids to an early movie. There are people inside but the doors are LOCKED! As I sat in my car, I watched 3 more people walk up, try to open the doors and then walk away. Do you want to stay in business? Very unwelcoming business practice. On my way to Krispy Kreme. They want my money. read more

Its cool that these guys make and warm a variety of donuts to your order - lots of interesting options. Their donuts are tasty - a bit of the rich side to my personal liking. read more

I'm not a fan of vanilla cake donuts but tried my husband's and they serve it hot right out of the fryer and OMG they melt in your mouth and are amazing. The only thing is wish is that they made chocolate cake flavor- that would be awesome. read more

Stopped in after the movies just because me and my wife had never tried them and OMG soooo good! There were so many options that we just got a dozen and ate every single one of them. I'll definitely be back quite often! No more Krispie Kreme for me! read more

I wish they would open up a store in Lynchburg, Va. So much better than Dunkin. I got chocolate covered which were my favorite along with some pumpkin glazed and regular glazed. All were good. So was the hot cocoa I ordered. read more

Absolutely horrible service. A group of unprepared individuals working. Took over 30 minutes for a simple order

I think I have a beef with donuts. I don't get why they are served as a breakfast item and not dessert because that really and truly is what they are. There has been a lot of buzz about Duck Donuts, and we went shopping really early last Saturday morning, so I knew we had to check it out when there wouldn't be a crazy line. Their menu is organized by icing flavors and toppings, so you are able to customize your donuts. Bacon everything is also all the rage, so we felt like we needed to try the maple and bacon donut although the peanut butter with chocolate sprinkles was another good choice that I'll have to try in the future. Coconut is my boyfriend's favorite so he went with vanilla and coconut. The donuts are made to order, so they come out of the oven pipping hot. They are very, very, very sweet--more so than other donuts that I've had. They are super cakey and delicious--like I said before, they should be served as dessert. The coconut was tasty, and I liked the salty sweet combination of the bacon and maple. I get why Duck Donuts is super hyped, and I'm just not the biggest donut fan, but if you are, you should definitely get your butt in here! read more

Duck Donuts - Maple bacon and glazed coconut - Donuts Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Finally after all the coaxing from friends I decided to check this place out. My friends ordered the cinnamon sugar donuts and my boyfriend and I split the glazed, cinnamon sugar, and chocolate with sprinkles. Wow. I really loved how they were freshly made, customizable, and pipping hot. When I say hot, I mean watch your fingers and get napkins or utensils for these! Aside from the temperature, the donuts were definitely delicious. The styles we ordered were reminiscent of tender warm cake with icing. I'll admit I'm not a huge fruit flavored donut person so I can't speak about those, but the styles we got were perfectly tasty and not too sweet. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I have always disliked donuts, Krispy Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, you name it. So needless to say, I was skeptical about the donuts at Duck Donuts. I was, however, pleasantly surprised at how good Duck Donuts is. First of all, there are a ton of flavors you can pick from. You can also create your own donut by choosing your own base, icing, and toppings. I got the blueberry and lemon swirl donut and loved it, even though it was a donut. Each bite was heaven! The icing actually tasted like blueberries and lemon. The icing with blueberry chunks encasing the soft, warm donut was such a perfect blend! My boyfriend also really enjoyed his chocolate fudge and maple syrup peanut donuts. We wolfed down our donuts in minutes. Service was good! My donut was ready in maybe two minutes. There's ice water available for you to quench your thirst. There are maybe three tables in the shop and a bench outside. Parking is easy as there are plenty of available lots and street parking spaces. Finally, each donut only costs $1.53, an incredible price for such amazing donuts! Will definitely be back, and this is coming from someone who's always despised donuts. read more

Sorry for the bad rating, but I was REALLY disappointed with this place. The good: the staff was extremely friendly! My friend & I were greeted by the group the moment we stepped into the establishment. Duck Donuts certainly have the customer service thing down. (I was also surprised that many of the employees were young!) HOWEVER, the donuts themselves were awful. Donuts were oily, the lemon & orange icings have that unpleasant artificial taste, the inside of the donuts were soggy & UNDONE... It was a total mess for me. Before eating them, I was disappointed at how small they were (& given the price!), but afterwards, I was glad they weren't big donuts because it was difficult to finish them. I had high expectations for these donuts (though I admit, I much prefer yeast donuts), but I'll save my donuts cravings for Sugar Shack's opening this Fall... read more

When we arrived in C'ville to stay with friends they raved about this donut shop where they were getting treats for us in the morning. To be upfront I don't care much for donuts and when you mention a chain restaurant I cringe (minus CFA, In & Out, you know the "good ones") but I held my tongue and hoped for the best. And BOOM they were right! The Duck Donuts were amazing - as good as you could possibly want. The outside has a nice fried crispy, the middle is soft and flavor packed and I haven't even addressed the coating/ topping/ drizzle action! With our dozen we chose an assortment: french toast, maple bacon, strawberry lemonade, sprinkled (because my wife is actually a child inside), cinnamon crunch, chocolate caramel and my personal favorite blueberry. If you can handle the sugar intake i recommend getting a glass of milk and taking a bite of each. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. Me and my kid came in to just get half dozen.....when we first walked in the music was so loud that it was hard to wear my kid say what she wants. It wasn't just that, the whole store is just pure chaos and, just completely disgusting!!!!! The General manager Randy, is rude and, extremely disrespectful to customers and, with his own employees!!!! On top of that!!! This store is just extremely unsanitary, purely disgusting and, definitely need to be shut down. while watching our donuts go thru the fryer. The fryer oil looked like it hasn't been clean for over an century due to how black the oil looked in the fryer!! the bathrooms smelled like spoiled milk and, Mildew!!! . The trash cans were about to be overflowing. The tables were so dirty that I couldn't even enjoy sitting down for a moment to get some AC!!!! I'm definitely never coming back to this junk yard read more

I've heard about Duck Donuts for years from friends who travel to the OBX. They almost always make a pit stop and then post pictures on social media piquing my interest. So when I came to Cville on a recent visit and found this location within walking distance of where we were staying, I jumped at the chance to give them a try. Choices: The frosting and topping choices are amazing! We ordered a dozen and tried everything from maple with bacon crumbles to lemon topped with coconut. The only flavor that we found to be just "meh" was the orange frosting. Other than that, delish delish delish! Price: Pleasantly surprised that the donuts were cheaper than our local donut chain. Service: Everyone was super friendly and efficient! We enjoyed watching our donuts go through the process from start to finish. Bottom line: The bar has been set. Going back to good ol' Dunkin is going to be very, very hard. Good thing there's Duck Donuts locations popping up in NoVa, too! read more

Duck Donuts - So much deliciousness in one box! - Donuts Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

My wife and I found ourselves at Duck Donuts on National Donut Day to see what all the hype was all about. Two donuts each later, we can say the hype is worth it! It's a simple shop, but they make your donut right in front of you so it's super warm when you enjoy it. I ordered the chocolate donut with sprinkles and it was amazing. My wife said it was the BEST donut she's every had. After two donuts, we were loaded with too much sugar and felt sick, but it was worth it! read more

Holy cow this place is amazing. Sat in the car eating me two donuts and debated going back in for more. You won't be disappointed.

I love Duck Donuts and am never disappointed by any of the flavors I choose. This time, I got two donuts: one with blueberry icing + coconut topping and one with vanilla icing + oreo topping. BOTH WERE HEAVENLY as per usual. This time, I didn't even them hot (I ate them the next day) and they were still delicious. Such a treat to eat them right then and there, though! I know a lot of my friends and family don't care for cake donuts usually, but they always love Duck Donuts. I love that the Duck Donuts love is spreading to so many locations--we are so lucky to have one here in cville! read more

Duck Donuts - Vanilla + Oreo and Blueberry + Coconut!!! - Donuts Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

Love the donuts but did not care for the staff. Very young staff who spent more time gossiping with one another than serving the customers. Every single table was dirty and we had to clean it off ourselves. We took a few minutes to make a decision on what donuts we were going to get and the one girl said "I guess they don't even want donuts, why are they here?" The bathrooms were dirty and the staff chose to make a personal order before making an order for the 6 groups that were in line. There is even a sign on the wall that states, " we guarantee every customer a clean, courteous, family friendly, fun and scrumptious experience" none of those expectations were met. Very disappointed in the unprofessionalism of this staff read more

Went to visit UVA. I'm not a big fan of donuts or most sweets for that matter. My kid loves them. So why not. Ordered half dozen. I had eaten two before I drive a mile. Idc.Idc. I am not ashamed! I am agnostic and I promise for a second I declared, "There is a God." I called everyone to tell them about these donuts. Then I was sad cause I never plan to visit Charlottesville again. I didn't know at the time there are locations closer to me. Praaaaise Santa, the tooth fairy, and the Easter bunny! read more

Duck Donuts - Lemon (sweet), strawberry & vanilla both with sprinkles, cinnamon sugar (good) powdered sugar (my fave). - Donuts Near Me - Charlottesville, Virginia

It's hard to not like these customized-to-order donuts, especially with that darn cute duck logo. I am a big fan of how you can order whatever icing/toppings you want for the same flat price, whether you get cinnamon sugar or maple with bacon. It's also fun to watch the staff make your donuts, and I have found everyone to be very nice. The first time I was there it was a little crazy at the counter, as it was unclear if you have to fill out a piece of paper with your order or if you just tell the person at the register (I've since done it both ways). There's also not a lot of seating, even though the space is rather large. It's good that they are in a shopping center with picnic tables and other outdoor seating locations. read more

I was in the UVA area and this place popped up when I yelped. So here's the deal. Freshly fried to order, check. You customize the glaze and topping, check. Only $1.20 per donut, check. Super friendly service, check. Fluffy cake batter, check. Oh how I wish I live close to you Duck Donut! Granted someone will have to wheel me around in a wheel barrel due to my weight gain from these delicious morsels from heaven, but those are 1st world problems I can deal with. I had the peanut butter glaze with bacon. It was soooooo good I had to go back for another one and also ordered a lemon with peanuts. Price is so cheap, I don't know how they make money! Motivates me to go out to UVA more often. It just sucks that I live in CA so that makes it so difficult. read more

I am a fervent fan and supporter of cake donuts and I think it's because of Duck Donuts. I've been obsessed with the concept of warm, crumbly donuts since I tried the chain in OBX. And I've been delighted to find yet another chain tucked into the Stonefield mall that manages to maintain the quality and recreate the warm goodness of the donuts. You can see the batter actually being dropped and fried in the oil and then glazed right in front of you. Be warned this also comes with a wait time so either give your order enough time in advance to allow them to prepare your order for pick-up or be able to sit and wait for a bit. They usually have samples of crumbled donuts that you can have as much as you want of. It's also great in case you just want a single donut for yourself after dinner or as a snack as you walk around Stonefield. 'Donut' miss out on this place if you're in the area! read more

My girls are 4 and 2. They love Duck Donuts so much. My oldest will talk about her last visit as if it was yesterday even if it's been months since then. We try to go on weekdays because it's much quieter than during the weekend. We typically stick to donuts on the menu rather than making our own. read more

HONEST REVIEW! Their donuts are cake for breakfast. They are EXCELLENT donut-cakes, but still donut-cakes nontheless. They are more cake than donut. I do not recommend more than one donut for breakfast. You will get a stomach ache if you eat too many. I suggest going here for dessert, but be very careful. These sugary, high-calorie donuts can ruin your appetite for the entire day. read more

Hands down the best donuts we have ever had. We will be back before we leave to go home from our vacation! read more

Beware! Duck Donuts is dangerous - you definitely have to exercise some self-control or it'll be game over for any type of "healthy" lifestyle you may or may not want to lead. These made-to-order custom donuts are delicious, with great crispy texture on the outside while having excellent moisture on the inside. There are plenty of options to suit your fancy, whether you choose the flavors for yourself or choose any of the pre-made flavors they have on hand (including a seasonal menu!). It may take awhile to get your donuts to come out, but it's worth it with the quality and freshness that you get. read more
