What could all the fuss be able about? It's only donuts? ... Only Donuts!!!??? First off donuts are by their very nature and tasty fun thing. What if you could have fresh made to order donuts! YUMMY! So many choices...I had to get several to take back to the office to share and they were a big hit. The staff was nice and helpful. I went at a non peak time so no line. Cannot wait to go back! read more

I honestly never thought I would find a donut place that I liked better than Krispy Kreme. But I did. Duck Donuts. This place has just about any flavor donut you can think of, and I really love the fact that they change the flavors seasonally, so you can always try something new. I got 2 and a half dozen of these for my coworkers and they were talking about how good they were all day. The only thing is that if you are going to be in a hurry picking up donuts from here, make sure you put in the order before because they make them fresh, so would have to wait for them if you order when you get there. Either way, I think it would definitely be worth the wait! read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Duck Donuts is the current sole Duck Donuts location in Dayton. It's located in the campus area of the university, and there is no street parking out front. There, however, is a parking lot for shopping customers in the back of the building, so you'll want to utilize that. PROS: -Make any donut combination you want. You can choose the frosting, sprinkles, drizzle, and toppings - and it's all made-to-order right before your eyes. -Employees were friendly enough. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but the crafter did stop and check in on us as we were eating to see if everything tasted okay. -The donuts are downright DELICIOUS! Like mentioned below, they're definitely messy, but they're amazing. It's one of the few places where you can always, any time of day, have a donut made perfectly warm and fresh and designed exactly how you want it. CONS: -Because of the "made to order" aspect, all donuts here are vanilla-batter cake donuts. No fillings or anything super special here. -Because of the warm, gooey, loveliness of the fresh-from-the-fryer donuts, these are definitely "take more napkins than you think you need" type of donuts. The donuts are soft and warm enough to squish as you pick them up, and depending on the frosting or glaze you get, the glaze/frosting may still be warm and sticky. These are definitely donuts you'll want to sit and eat - or eat ASAP - and plan for a hand-washing afterwards. You could certainly take them to go if you wanted, and all Duck Donuts are served in an appropriately-sized to-go box. -On that note, however, there are only two places to sit in Duck Donuts - two tables with two chairs each. Both tables were being used by waiting to-go customers when we got there. With the messiness of the donuts (and the fact that these are made-to-order and it sorta defeats the point if you take them a 30 minute drive home and let them cool down before eating), I'm saddened that there isn't more seating inside. Hopefully Duck Donuts has some outdoor seating during the warmer months. read more

My family visited Duck Donuts for the first time this morning. Our daughter had tried them while on vacation with a friend and raved about how good they were, so trying them was on our summer bucket list. This is a small store with only a couple of tiny tables- don't plan to eat in. There were three people working today, on a Saturday morning. They definitely could have used more, as we were told by the bored cashier it would be at least a 35 minute wait for our dozen doughnuts. (We opted to walk a few doors down to Starbucks & get drinks while we waited since there wasn't anywhere to sit.) The were two people actually making the doughnuts, they were out of white chocolate, and the counter area was messy. They were moving quickly, don't get me wrong, but it seems to me they could have used about two more people back there helping them make doughnuts. A dozen doughnuts came to $13.50. My donuts- and yes, I actually ate three doughnuts today. 1.) S'mores: My least favorite- the graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on top tasted like very dry sawdust. 2.) Cinnamon Sugar with Caramel Drizzle- good, sweet, nothing to write home about. 3.) Sunrise- loved it! I'm not even sure what the sweet frosting was, but it perfectly complimented the bacon, and I'm not a bacon fanatic like some people. It was just a great combination of flavors. I'd probably eat there again, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there. read more

dillion deserves a pat on the back! when i went in today, there were about six people total waiting for donuts, and he was the only one working. though he may have been stressed, he still put in the hard work and was very patient and kind with everyone. thank you! read more

Not sure how the food is because we waited for 50 minutes and never received our food. It looked delicious on everyone else's table. We went up to the register and asked where our food was after the people behind us got their food and they seemed to have lost our order. We were very confused because we ordered just like everyone else and were standing directly in front of the counter for almost an hour. We got refunded and went elsewhere. Seems like an average of 20-35 minute wait if you get anything more than 3 donuts, so be prepared to wait, or order online. read more

I rode pass this place and thought hmm.. cool little place I'm going to check it out.. did some review research and decided I'm officially going to give it a shot.. so I do absolutely love that the doughnuts are made to order! I love there is a menu with popular ordered items on it, because i feel that it can get overwhelming to come up with how you want donuts made on the spot.. I got half a dozen because I was testing the waters to make sure these were everything I ever wanted in a donut lol! And umm i was not failed at all! Between my children, mother and myself those donuts lasted all of two mins max! Lol I'm giving 4 Stars because I'm all about customer service.. the crew seemed unenthusiastic.. but I mean who wouldn't be on Black Friday.. I had never been there and obviously seemed a little lost.. I feel like the cashier could have explained it to me and helped me pick out popular choices... but no I stood there staring at the menu trying to figure out what I thought would be popular... the girl making the donuts had an itchy nose so she kept rubbing her nose with her arm.. kinda gross considering she was hovering over the donuts.. when she put the completed donuts on the counter for my review she rushed and said looks good? I said yes she hurried up and shut the box and walked away.. like it was routine.. but whatever.. the donuts were amazing even if they did have a possible booger in them read more

Omg made to order fresh soft quick owner very sweet nice....

Opening another donut shop in the Dayton area was definitely a big move since the majority of us are die hard Bills fans. But let me tell you Ducks Donuts definitely gives Bills a run for its money! Ducks Donuts offers a variety of specialty donuts to choose from and are made to order! My favorites are the Maple Icing with Chopped Bacon, Vanilla Icing with Oreo Crumbles and the S'mores donut! Then again it's hard to choose a favorite since they are all delicious! If you are looking for arguably the best donuts in town give Ducks a visit! :) read more

Ok. This spot just opened in Dayton, and it is a spot that I need to stay away from. Not because the donuts aren't delicious, but because they do not agree with my hips. :-) I always get the Bacon in the Sun donut because I love the savory sweet combination. I will work my way to trying out the other combinations as soon as I tire of the Bacon in the Sun. I love the fact that they make them right there in front of you. A nice fresh donut just waiting for me to devour it! read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Saw the reviews and pics online and decided to head over before hitting the road again to grab their breakfast sandwiches. Walked in and the guy was nice but immediately said it would be 15 min to finish his pickup order. No one was was in there, costumer or employee, and the menus weren't even on to see what the sandwich options were to even know what to order. Decided to skip it because 20-30 minutes seemed a long time to wait for donuts. Was excited to try this place but still have to wait till we maybe come thru again read more

I walked into Duck Donuts randomly one day and was really taken aback. "I get to pick my type of donut and it's made fresh in front of me." That was great. The first day I tried the Oreo Crumble donut and Lemon Raspberry with an orange juice. The second day I ordered a strawberry icing donut, maple bacon donut and bacon egg and cheese sandwich (which is also on a donut). These were fresh, warm, melt in your mouth. I would recommend this place for a quick pick up of a donut or three, any day. read more

Staff was nice and the service was quick but the donuts just weren't good. Soggy and disappointing donuts. The premise of warm fresh donuts is nice but putting glaze and toppings on a fresh cake donut just didn't work this time. read more

I can't say enough about how much I love donuts . We were walking home from a pizza shop one night after a friend's wedding and I saw they were open and I had to stop. The young man and woman working were so nice. He gave me a very elaborate explanation of the menu because there is a lot to it. I picked their custom donuts because they were amazing that day. I had a French Toast and Maple bacon donut. The were pretty big donuts contrary to the local peace love and little donuts . He made mine fresh so they were warm and just melted in my mouth. I'm biased because I love donuts but you need to stop here and have some ! You won't regret it read more

This makes me sad. What the hell happened to the icing??? Can't even eat this. Usually you can see the icing and taste it. read more

I went for the first time yesterday after seeing it down near UD a few months ago. I looked at the menu options online before I went so I had a general idea of what I wanted. It wasn't busy at all and I waited no longer than 10 minutes for 2 fresh donuts to be prepared - I got one with maple icing and bacon, and another with blueberry icing and powdered sugar. Only $1.40 each is a great deal. I couldn't wait to eat it before taking a picture (on both visits) so don't mind the bites missing LOL! The donuts are absolutely amazing fresh and hot. They basically melt into your mouth! The bacon one reminded me of a breakfast sandwich, so this morning I decided to go in and get just that! $4.25 for this and the extra cheese was $.25 - no charge for the maple drizzle and bacon crumble. I have to say... even though it was messy (which I totally expected)... it was the BEST tasting breakfast sandwich I've had in my whole entire life. I'll most likely be making the place a part of my weekly routine because the options are endless and that sandwich was the most amazing breakfast idea ever. read more

I will drive an hour for these fresh made to order donuts and I am NOT a donut person! We stopped in to feed the teenage kiddos and thought to have a breakfast sandwich and coffee for ourselves. We had no idea that the are BREAKFAST DONUTS!! This understated storefront is now my go-to when in Dayton, for breakfast. We got 6 specialty donuts, 2 breakfast sandwich donuts, coffee, Frappuccinos, and a latte for under 30 bucks (with a generous tip for the awesome service!) you MUST try this place, even if you don't like donuts. Duck Donuts may make you into a true believer read more

This was absolutely amazing. They were the best donuts I've ever had. I got a banana donut and a raspberry donut. The dough was very light and soft. However, if you don't like things that are sugary or sweet you should be careful. I highly recommend. read more

I never though I would stumble apon a place on the east coast that knew how to make donuts..... my love for donuts began in 2014 in Arizona. Coffee, bubble tea,and donuts shops are pretty much on every corner. Here it is in 2018 four years later waiting for the moment I'm not faced with curving my craving for a donut with a donut palace donut or Jim's donuts, just minding my business reliving for Uber when I get a delivery for duck donuts. Here is where it all starts folks....... someone ordered two dozen donuts. What kind I don't know but I popped in saw from the start each DONUT IS MADE TO ORDER . Those donuts made my car smell so good. So purely sweet. I told myself next time I'm on Brown street I'm going in. I'm ordering me a flipping donut. So I did I ordered a glazed with coconut on top and left holding that box as I walked out into the cold and realizing how warm it was I knew this donut wouldn't last a minute in my car. Ya that's right I was a distracted driver that finished the donut with regret that I didn't get more than one donut.. I believe it was two days later and I was back with my mom. Back and ready to try this maple bacon donut that's all the rage. And yes It's ALL THE RAGE. See I normally wouldn't ever choose that particular donut or even like it because of the sweet maple but it's all perfect. Go down there and TREAT YO SELF. Tell yo mom tell yo dad tell yo family tell yo friends read more

Not as good as the one in Virginia Beach but still yummy. It really makes a difference when people are happy to be there. Coffee was cold.

Donuts were pretty & still yummy read more

Nice staff and DELICIOUS donuts. I had a few different ones, but the raspberry chocolate one I made was absolutely fantastic. A great stop for breakfast, or even dessert, since it is conveniently located on Brown St., surrounded by many fine eating establishments. read more

I'd say you won't be sorry if you go to Duck Donuts, but the problems is that you may regret that you ate so many because they were so darn good. Really, if you like warm, fresh donuts, this is the place for you. This locations happens to be located on the really cool Brown street right by the University of Dayton. The thing that makes this place unique is that they make the donuts to order right in front of you. You can actually watch them over to the side of the store. It's nice entertainment for the kids. However, the service is fast! They called my number well before I expected it, and I had my donuts in hand. They are all cake donuts, and they make them with whatever toppings you request. You can even order a dozen and mix and match. Unfortunately, the coffee is only so-so. Don't go there for the coffee. The flavored variety tastes like they just put syrup, and too much of it, in the coffee. The other blends are okay but not anything I would write home about. The store is also pretty small and crowded, so options for eating in the store are limited. They don't accept Apple Pay. However, if you aren't opposed to eating donuts, or even if you are, you need to try this place. read more

I LOVE Duck Donuts, and used to go there often back in VA. They're different then your traditional donut. These are hot made to order cake donuts that you can add numerous toppings to. You can't beat their French toast donut or bacon chocolate. It's amazing. Unfortunately as a few others have noted, the service here is aweful. The person taking the order was short with us, and seemed incredibly annoyed. The gentleman making the donuts was nice however, but the attitude we received from the guy working the cashier is enough to not recommend this place, especially with a staple in Bill's that's open 24-7 and gives amazing service with a smile year round. Probably won't be returning or coming out of my way to come here. read more

Got 1/2 assortment dozen donuts... so good! Actually the perfect size donut, and the flavors were spot on! They cook them fresh once you order, so donuts are soft and hot! Almost melt in your mouth. French toast and key lime pie w/ graham cracker was on point! Definitely coming back! read more

This place was a little different than what I normally get from Donut places...and that's good! Every donut is cake and made to order with your favorite toppings( recommend the peanut butter with Oreo crumbs, and the blueberry pancake). I got a half dozen to go, and while pricey, they were well worth it and fresh. I may swing back by before I leave and grab another half to take home! read more

Delicious hot donuts that made my taste buds so happy! They are served hot & freshly topped with just about anything you could want!

Duck Donuts - French toast & s'mores donuts. They were so good when eaten warm & fresh! - Donuts Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Best Donuts in the area !!!!! Delicious , variety, hot, and great service !!!!!!! If you haven't had them you're missing out !

Tried the French toast and strawberry shortcake. I enjoyed the French toast. These are freshly made

Very courteous and friendly staff! We ordered a couple dozen donuts and were hot and made to perfection!! Great donuts!!

I recently tried Duck Donuts for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! All of their donuts are freshly made to order while you watch! Basic cake donuts are then covered with various toppings of your choice (pre-made recipes or your very own). My favorites were the Blueberry Pancake and the Sunrise (raspberry and lemon glaze-tasted like fruity pebbles). The price wasn't outrageous either ($7.50 for a half dozen). I think it's a great novelty idea, and it allows for lots of variation. I went in on a Thursday morning and didn't wait longer than ten minutes for my freshly made donuts. Definitely can't argue with that! read more

I have missed Duck Donuts as it used to be across the street from my old house. Which probably wasn't a good thing, but I loved the ability to grab hot donuts and bring home to those still nestled in their beds. Now it's a short drive which means I have to eat one in my car while hot if I can't stay to eat. Eek! Yes, they must be eaten while warm and reheating isn't the same. This DD was smaller than the two I have frequented but did not present a problem. I was greeted promptly and given my order number. My donuts were fixed properly and I was on my way within 10 minutes. The worst part about my visit was it was raining and I had to shield my donuts from the elements. Nobody wants a soggy donut. Yuck! The private parking lot is a pain during these times because you have to walk around or ssshhhh cut thru another business. Now before you shame me, it was pouring! I don't think Arby's minded as the employee didn't have to do anything. Anyhow, you can also cut thru a few other ways. My donuts were hot and delicious! Always consistent and no horrible oil taste as Saturday's they have fresh oil. I read the sign and Monday's and Friday's are old oil days so avoid if you want to be sure or have a sensitive palate. Or would that be a sophisticated palate? Oh well! Go and get your hot and fresh donuts! Delicious! read more

Warm donuts, being made right before your eyes, what's not to love? We got half a dozen, all with different flavors, and of course I liked some flavors better than others. The lemon glaze with raspberry was quite tasty, as was the cinnamon with vanilla. The chocolate with marshmallow, not so much. The man working was friendly, and the place clean. Thumbs up! read more

Duck Donuts - 1/2 Dozen Assorted Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I ended up here this morning when our staff meeting didn't happen. I had time to kill, so I went looking for coffee and found this place. I hadn't heard of it, so it took a little explanation from the young lady working there to figure out how this worked. I picked the one she said was her favorite and ordered a coffee. Don't get the coffee. Starbucks is right next door. Duck's coffee was overpriced and not even as good as McDonald's. The donut? Meh. The samples of the donut with cinnamon and sugar were ok. The one I got was overpowered by the toppings. But it was warm. That was nice. read more

First visited this chain in Virginia Beach, and loved it there. We were ecstatic that it came up here! Have been here 3 times, and each one never disappoints. Usually fairly quick, though be aware they make the donuts fresh, so you do have to wait while they finish your donuts--I tend to account for this, don't come here if you're running late or cutting it close to go somewhere. Decorated a little bit, has 3 tables or so, not good to sit and eat if you have a larger group. Cool that you get to see them make your donuts. They are delightfully warm! Love getting to pick a glaze, topping, and drizzle. My favorite is a chocolate glaze with bacon bits! Though lemon with raspberry drizzle is a close second. I have had one experience where they were in the process of making a new batch of batter, and they gave us a coupon for a free donut on our next purchase. Very considerate since it added an extra 10 min onto our wait time. read more
