2 Glaze, 1 cinnamon sugar and glaze with sprinkles
Cherelle J.

First time going I only got 2 glaze, 1 cinnamon and sugar and glaze with sprinkles I think it was $12. They're good I'm just not big on cake doughnuts. The doughnuts were a good size. They were super fresh they cook and hand make the doughnuts in front of you. Cute inside and the staff were nice too.

So many options so hard to choose. A lot seemed similar and there was also seasonal choices. I'm more fruity gal so went with blueberry for one and lemon for the other. Donuts are made to order....they were nice and warm. A smidge on the sweet side but an excellent treat. Employees were all super nice.

We loved these donuts. We had them in Virginia and it was great to find another one in TN. My kids devoured them.

Amazing donuts, impeccably clean, and the sweetest (pun intended!) staff members. Honestly there isn't even a need to add more here and I'll let the pictures do the talking....just COME TRY IT!! P.S. Don't miss the seasonal donuts!

I'm not really sure how to say what I wanna say, so I'm just gonna go for it.... THESE ARE THE BEST DONUTS ANYONE HAS EVER HAD EVER. Made-to-order donuts? With your choice of toppings? Whose idea was this?! I was leaving Jason's and just HAPPENED to spot the hanging Duck Donuts sign. Because me and my friend had to know, we went in and were immediately taken aback by how good it smelled inside. It's sort of set up like Dos Bros or Chipotle where you order and then watch them make your specific donuts. We didn't plan on staying there to eat them, but the attendant kinda gave us a look like "...Are you sure you don't want forks so you can taste them?" So, we obeyed and sat down to take a bite. And then kept taking bites....and then started thumping our legs....and then my friend started chastising the attendants with, "You all should be ashamed of yourselves!" These donuts are delicious. Period. Warm. Soft on the inside. Crispy edges. Literally exactly how I like donuts (or brownies or pancakes). I don't know what else to say to you. Just so get some, and try them while they're warm!

I have been to this place multiple times. The donuts are fresh and hot!! They make them right in front of you! The one with bacon is definitely my favorite!! A must try!

Let me start off by saying Wow! This was the first time I had heard of or been in a place like this. I thought it was just a regular doughnut shop then I realized it was not! I see a belt taking very small batches of made to order doughnuts. I looked around and wiped a tear from face from the joy I was experiencing! LOL The owner was helping me decide I landed on cinnamon and sugar and OMG!!! He recommended I eat them quickly while they were still warm and he was right some of them made it all the way out the door to my car but not much farther! LOL I absolutely recommend this spot when your in the mood for doughnuts plus as I like to call them now! Sorry I forgot to get pictures of the darn doughnuts before I devoured them.... Rookie move on my part!

Assortment of flavors
Monic L.

WOW! Just wow! This is my new favorite donut place when I come here to visit. Love the atmosphere of this shop. So bright, friendly and inviting. The great way to describe this is like a Subway for donuts. You can literally have your donut your way! The possibilities are endless and they already have some great combinations suggested for you if the amount of toppings is overwhelming. What I love is that it is made to order. The donuts are served fresh and warm and makes it taste like heaven. It's just an explosion of flavors in your mouth. Their milkshake was one of the best milkshakes I've had. Goes down smooth. This will definitely be added into my rotation of dessert places. Duck Donuts for the win!

First time coming to a duck donuts and loved it! I Didn't realized that you customize each donut with different toppings, glazes, etc. They were all delicious but my favorite for sure was the original glaze with sprinkles!

Cinnamon sugar w/ vanilla drizzle, s'mores, key lime, Oreo, coconut, Oreo w salted caramel
Tonya K.

The donuts were amazing. We did curbside due to Coronavirus pandemic, so couldn't go inside. However the online order was convenient and the donuts were place on table for you to pick up. Will definitely be back.

These donuts are beautiful and they taste amazing

See all

Milk & Honey is known as the best of the best for brunch in Chattanooga, and after eating here I…read morestand by that statement. I remember back in the day when Milk & Honey had late hours. One time my parents and I came here after dinner for their gelato, and it was so delicious. We were all very impressed with the consistency and how smooth it was. So I've only had their gelato after all these years. This time I came for brunch with a friend on Sunday morning. It was packed and we got on the waiting list for a table. Wait time wasn't too bad actually. My friend and I both ordered the Hodgepodge Hash and I subbed the sausage for chicken sausage. Everything was absolutely amazing. I wish I had come here sooner. I loved everything about my meal. It was flavorful, dynamic, full of texture. It had that spice from the serrano peppers, crispy and flavorful potatoes, and the sauce tied it all together. I love savory breakfast, and that was it. Now I'm hungry and missing my previous meal just writing about it haha. Afterwards, we got gelato! I was pleasantly surprised that the gelato came with two scoops because I originally just wanted the coffee flavored one. So I had a scoop of Coffee + Cream and Pistachio. Our gelato was so tasty. I love anything coffee so this one was good, and the Pistachio one was nice and light. It had a subtle Pistachio creamy taste. Just as before, the gelato was smooth, creamy, and full of flavor. Service was great, our waiter was very friendly and super helpful with our food preferences. I have no complaints at all about our experience, and I love every single thing we ordered. I can't imagine a better place to spend Sunday brunch. I look forward to the next time I'm back, thank you!

The vibe is relaxed and social, great patio energy, easy place to hang out with friends, and it feels lively without being overwhelming. The food was solid. Tasty, well prepared, good portions, but nothing that blew me away or felt dramatically different from other brunch spots I've tried. That said, the pricing felt fair. I had the breakfast sandwich and my wife had the Mexican Omelette. The Bloody Mary was actually really good, balanced and flavorful. I was a little surprised they didn't have any stuffed olives (my go-to garnish), and the server wasn't familiar with them, which caught me off guard. Not a big deal, just unexpected. The only real hiccup was at the end. Our ticket got mixed up and I tried having the server correct it. He said he would at the computer, he took our cards and I get a receipt where my card was charged on another ticket. So I ended up paying for someone else's food. It wasn't intentional and these things happen, but it was a frustrating way to wrap up the meal. Overall, I'd come back. Good atmosphere, fair prices, solid food. It's not a "must plan your whole weekend around it" spot for me, but it's a dependable option if you're in the area.

I was hesitant when we arrived, seeing a line out the door and around the corner. However that line moved so fasts Nied did amazing getting people in and out. They had a huge selection of merch that was themed perfect to their mission and goals. The "We're all bread inside" design was probably my favorite. For meals, I got the Niedlov's Breakfast and my friend got the Ham and Gruyère Skillet. I loved what I got, but when I go again I think I will try a skillet because they all smelled amazing! I also got a Gruyère Bacon Chive Scone and a Orange Pan Suisse to take on the road. Both were outstanding. For my drink, I got one of their Blueberry Basil Matcha. I was a little nervous about the basil, but I can genuinely say it was my favorite drink of my entire trip. Lastly I want to say a special thank you to the staff. We thought we weren't going to be able to find a table, but when we found one at the last second, they actually offered to switch my meal to a skillet since they can't do those to go. Absolutely a five star experience and I am already anticipating my next visit.

The fried potatoes were also great! I opted for their sourdough toast, and enjoyed it so much I got a loaf to take home when I left. Their coffee drinks are very good - I enjoyed my latte both days. Service was very prompt - you order at the counter and they will bring food to your table. I was there mid-morning on a Friday, and it was packed! It's a really nice vibe, with an outdoor patio and the indoor seating area. After eating here, I can understand why they were nominated for a James Beard award. If you are ever in Chattanooga, this is worth the effort! 5/5, would absolutely go back!

There are tons of vegan options, and you don't have to look too hard for gf options if that's your jam. The store itself is packed with amazing health food items like mushroom coffee, shilajit, matcha, electrolytes, and so much more. They also have a refrigerated grab-and-go section with fresh juices, rice paper rolls, chia seed pudding, and a lentil casserole. The glass dessert case is full of vegan treats like peanut butter and chocolate cups, bliss balls, and donuts. The menu is extensive with tons of great organic vegan options. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough (they also offer gluten-free and multigrain) with cashew cheese and a side of chili. I also got a beet juice, a lemon lavender muffin, chia seed pudding, and a decaf oat milk latte. The sandwich was pretty good. The bread seemed really fresh and I enjoyed the cashew cheese. The side of chili had a slight twist that elevated it above most regular chili recipes. It was good, but had a little too much corn for my taste personally. The beet juice was delicious and a generous portion. The desserts were just okay, but I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet and didn't have any weird ingredients. Honestly, it's just so nice knowing your food has no weird ingredients and everything is organic! The only downside was the coffee. Honestly, it was probably one of the worst I've ever had. Maybe it was just an off day or a mistake, I'm not sure. Everything else was good though! I would definitely recommend this spot. The decor is really cute and inviting. I love that they offer plenty of seating options too -- indoor, an enclosed outdoor patio, and an exterior exposed patio. Logistical Notes: Parking was super easy with a lot right out front. There are two accessible bathrooms for people with disabilities, and I love that they have a gender-inclusive restroom as well.
