    When in Outer Banks, you have to try Duck Donuts!Definitely check their hours because they may be limited -- this a store was only open on weekdays until 1 PM. We arrived an hour before closing time and they still had a bunch of options, but they were out of peanuts. One of the best parts about this place is that they make their donuts fresh, so you'll leave with a warm box. These are all cake donuts and they seem to all have the same base flavor, just with a bunch of different icing flavors and toppings. Some of the flavors were a bit too sweet, especially the fruity ones, but they were all fun to try. My favorites were coconut island bliss, peanut butter paradise, the boardwalk, and French toast!

    Duck donuts are always a hit with our family and they never disappoint. The service is always friendly and fast. It is a great stop when visiting OBX.

    I've been to Duck Donuts up north before, but this was our first one down in NC. We were not surprised how good the donuts were. They're so good fresh, so it's worth the extra couple of bucks. Since lines are long and it takes a long time to arrange for custom orders, they offered several prearranged boxes. The bacon maple one is amazing and is highly recommended! The Oreo one was also a bit hit with the kids. Definitely worth the wait and cost!

    When will they open?

    Tried to go to one in Corolla and just got this sign.... I drove 14 hours to get a sign and no idea when they will open... use a pen and paper... cash... edit: the reply was nice but should have clearly stated the issue was the fryer! Back in Maine now....

    Getting Duck Donuts is one of our family traditions when we vacation on the OBX. We ordered an assorted half dozen of their freshly made donuts. Though the service is slow and there is usually a line out the door, we understand that you cannot rush perfection. It is a bit steeply priced. All in all it is a good donut.

    This was our first time trying Duck Donuts and I loved every minute of it. We were greeted by a super helpful employee who helped us with ordering since it was our first time there. We ended up ordering half a dozen donuts. We tried the maple bacon, vanilla with Oreo crumbles, glazed and vanilla with raspberry drizzle. We were impressed with the assembly line that they had going on as we watched our donuts being freshly made. We couldn't wait to dig in and I must say that first bite was mind blowing! I'm officially hooked. The donuts are cake battered style served warm with toppings of your choice. I can't say enough about this place. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you get the chance! We decided to make it a tradition to stop by while on vacation.

    The line has been so long this week and thankfully on turnover day the wait wasn't too long. These made to order donuts are warm, delicious, and as sweet as I am! ;) you use the ordering form to create any combination you want, but I panicked and used the pre-made ones at the top of the form. The store only allows one person per party at a time, everyone is required to wear masks, and the workers wear gloves and masks. The workers have an assembly line and the donuts are fresh, cake-battered goodness. Try the blueberry and the maple bacon. You won't regret it! Unless you have a cavity....then you will.

    Iced coffee.

    We had decided months before vacation we were going to Duck Donuts. And we went a couple times lol. They were soooo good. Each time we tried something different. I also had an iced coffee, I wish there were flavors for the coffee but it was still good. I got a little souvenir from there too.

    See all
