The best donuts you'll ever eat. It's become a family tradition. Definitely a must while staying in Duck. Get there early and be prepared to wait. It's worth it! read more

Tiny overpriced stale donuts covered with so much sugary garbage I that I could only eat a small portion and was nauseous the rest of the day. Family who also had donuts from them said the same. read more

They've got quite the operation here. Order on one side, pick up on the other side. Lots of cute merch on the order side too. So many options, it could be overwhelming. Fun for the kids to watch the donuts get cooked and decorated on the pick-up side. Pretty efficient system and service and not a very long wait. Love the S'mores, Blueberry Streusel, Peach Cobbler, and Oreo. Def more of a denser, cakey donut and they may fall apart when you eat them fresh out of the fryer. Def the opposite of a Krispy Crème (light and airy) donut so if you like them heavy and cakey, you'll love these donuts read more

Lets start with the fact that they shorted us 1 of the donuts we ordered. None of the woman fixing the donuts had their shirts ducked in, so as they worked on fixing a Doughnut their dirty disgusting t shirt would drag over a previous made donuts in our order. This is serious health violation and I can't believe I am the only one that has noticed. I ended up microwaving the donuts hoping to kill any germs left during the preparation. My maple bacon Doughnut was good, but the wife thought her donuts were just average. We won't be going back. read more

Duck Donuts - Maple Bacon Doughnut - Donuts Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

Although many people do enjoy cake style donuts for me they are too heavy and dense. I prefer a light and airy style. They are on the pricey side and I can think of several other places that have much better donuts so I cannot recommend and will not be going back. read more

We hadn't been to OBX in several years but I was glad to see that Duck Donuts hasn't changed a bit! We placed our order then walked across the patio to watch them being made. Service was friendly and quick, because they have such an efficient system to get through orders, The donuts were delicious and taste even better when they're freshly made and warm. We went back on our drive out of Corolla on Saturday morning for our last breakfast. read more

Always great service and quality. We got the Maple bacon, Bacon in the sun, PB paradise, Beach ball, Boardwalk, Raspberry fluff, strawberry shortcake, Coffee cake, French toast, Glazed, Sand dollar. All delicious read more

I'm so glad we stopped here on vacation! The staff was very friendly. Everything was clean and they had lots of plates, napkins, utensils and hand wipes. The donuts were also amazing. They were fresh and I love that they're made to order. We absolutely loved these and will definitely miss them. My favorites were the cookie butter cream and the maple bacon! read more

Love the option to order ahead and pick up especially cause the pine can get really long. Great variety of flavors to choose from. The blueberry was great, as was the maple bacon flavor. I do like the dense cake like doughnuts but I felt the flavors lacked a depth to them. I needed a richer chocolate and white chocolate. The S'mores was lacking a roasted marshmallow flavor. I need a flavor that I'm going to crave and eat a whole box of them even if it will make me sick. read more

Still my must stop when in Duck. They have expanded a bit since my last visit. Still a nice reward after doing my morning walk. Service is very good. Longest part is the line to order. Several picnic tables to enjoy your donuts while looking at the sound. read more

Went to the location in Duck, NC in OBX. You order from a kiosk or a staff member. If you know what you want, use the kiosk. If it's your first time or have questions, order from the staff. Then you go back outside across the deck to pick up your order which they will call you by number. This is to help with the flow when they are very busy. Be ready for a sugar rush. When I got into my 3rd donut my face started to tingle. If you are visiting OBX they have several locations to choose from, you got to try it at least once. In my photos here is what I got. Starting top left to right: Coconut Island Bliss, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Raspberry Fluff Bottom left to right:Blueberry Crumble ,Bourbon Caramel Apple Pie (seasonal), Midnight Madness (my favorite) read more

Staying in Nags Head but made the northward pilgrimage this morning to the original Duck's location. Really glad I did. Duck, NC is a bird sanctuary, no fireworks allowed, and is an incredibly charming place. You order and get your coffee/merch in one location, then walk a few steps into another building where there's nothing but the glorious production of donuts made to your specifications and served warm and fresh, right out of the fryer. The lady at the order counter was friendly and helpful, while the donut makers were less talkative, focusing diligently on their craft. I can respect that. Be sure to take a stroll on the connected boardwalk to take in the many great neighboring shops/restaurants and the gorgeous vistas of Currituck Sound. read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

So I'll be completely honest and tell you that this was on my bucket list irregardless of how many calories I was about to consume. But it turned out that I could literally only take one small bite from two of them and I had to put the fork down. They smell amazing, they're absolutely beautiful to look at, kinda pricey (i think it was $3 a doughnut). But honestly, even one doughnut is a lot for a person to partake. They have a smart setup where you order on one side and you collect your order across the patio in another building so as to avoid any traffic jams. I can take it off my bucket list, I've tried it. read more

Duck donuts always gets a 5/5. This particular location in Duck is located in the boardwalk and the set up is so cute. On one side you order all your donuts and then through their other entrance you can watch them freshly make and decorate your donuts. I ordered the blueberry lemonade and the French Toast. The blueberry lemonade was by far the winner. read more

Would normally give this place 5 out of 5 stars...but the prices and parking could both use some adjusting, that being said DELICIOUS donuts. To me the donuts tasted more cake like and were much easier to eat with a fork. A little more oily then I had anticipated, but an awesome treat for sure. Set-up is great with ordering on one side and pick-up on the other leaving them middle sections between each building open with picnic tables and a walk out to the desk facing the beautiful water. Parking is horrible for the amount of people that come in and out. Prices were more than I had expected but I guess if people are willing to buy them at that price why lower them. Would recommend going to when not in a rush, wait times can be long. Overall great place! read more

Duck Donuts - Idea Board - Donuts Near Me - Duck, North Carolina

Duck donuts has some of the best quality donuts that I've ever had. These are cake donuts, which were never my favorite before, but these donuts are so soft and fresh, and the flavors really make the donuts great. They have so many flavor combinations, including seasonal combinations. This particular location has a merchandise store with gifts like shirts. There is an outdoor seating area to eat the donuts. You order in one building and cross to the other building to pick up your order, hot off the conveyor belt. I thinks it's really neat that you can watch every step of the donut making process. Everyone who works here is so nice. read more

Donuts were good I had the neapolitan and it was delicious also got the cookies and cream. The computer order system is nice and I like the create your own. There was t-shirts on sale my sisters got a couple. The only thing lackey was coffee we got cold brew it was okay. No espresso and no sweet cream but they specialize in donuts not coffee so it was a great experience. read more

Stumbled into this location while just looking around for donuts to bring back to the family. Had no idea it was a chain and that this was the original location. Had no idea what I wanted from the choices and ended up getting 2 dozen of their preset mixes. Ordered on one side of the boardwalk, while they were made on the other side. It was fun to watch them get made to order, and the donuts were super hot. They looked great and tasted better. read more

Duck donuts is delicous! A must stop if you are in the OBX - get there early! Friendly staff.

Fresh to order donuts! Can use the paper order forms for larger orders- but we only ordered 2. Can't go wrong with any of the flavor combos like the classic peanut butter and s'mores! There is a small parking lot in front but lots of people walk or bike there since it's so busy. They open at 6am if you want to avoid the crowds. read more

While my donut was good, it wasn't something to write home about, or that I'd add to my "must have" list when visiting Outer Banks again. There wasn't anything particularly spectacular about it. So it's not like the donuts were bad, or not cooked well. Just not something I would wait several minutes in line for. read more

Hot, fresh, sugary deliciousness! They are a must have when we come to the OBX. They never disappoint or last long when brought back to the house. They have a variety of flavors to choose from. The Vanilla Confetti and Strawberry Confetti are both personal favorites. We also really loved the Mint to be Dozen assortment. The Minty Wonderland was spectacular. Just be warned, this place may ruin all other donuts for you! read more

I was recently in the Outer Banks for a family vacation and stayed in Duck and no visit would be complete without a trip to Duck Donuts. We hadn't been to the area since 2022 but it was well worth the wait (ended up going three days in a row). The service was much better than we remembered and had our order done within 15 minutes. The area where you place your order is very welcoming and allows you to check out some of their merchandise while you wait for your order. The people are great and super friendly here. My only complaint is that the place has outgrown its space and needs to find an alternative location for parking. Otherwise, I could go for their maple bacon donut right now! read more

Great donuts! Each donut is made just for you with the toppings of your choice. You order your donuts from the left side of the building and see them created and pick up on the right side. You can take them home or eat them at the picnic tables and look at the water. Everyone is so nice! read more

Service needs to be improved. There were 15 people standing around, hovering over donuts, and while the woman was putting the icing on our donuts, another guy next to her was just sitting there talking to her talking and spitting over our donuts. And the rest of the people were all just leaning against the counters and doing nothing. And the donuts aren't really that great. It's a tourist trap. read more

This was my first time trying Duck Doughnuts and what better place than in Duck! The doughnuts are worth the hype and do taste more like a cake but still very good! The wait was a bit and a bit high per unit but a very nice special treat! read more

I can't remember which donut I got when I came here, but it was beyond incredible. They make all their donuts fresh and from scratch on a daily basis. Do not leave Duck without coming here. read more

Donuts were delicious! The menu was big with a good mix of basic and unique flavors! The staff was friendly and quick! There was outside seating only but it was right on the water and it was beautiful! However the set up was very very confusing and frankly annoying with the the two building's and kiosks and in-person. But overall highly recommend! read more

This place is AMAZING! I left the OBX, NC to move here and cried for months about missing Duck Donuts!!! And just like that, Duck Donuts arrives in Bristol! Not too far either! I cried enjoying my donuts, missing home. If you know how it all started, you probably would too. Thank you for giving me a taste from home. Anytime I'm sad and homesick, I come here. Thank you for everything. read more

The good news: The donuts are very good. The bad news: There is always a long line out the door to order your donuts. Then you have to wait outside at another building until they call your number to pick up your donuts. Then they charge you $2.50/donut plus tax. All the hype about it being "The Original Duck Donuts" drives all the crowds and great ratings. read more

Probably some of the BEST donuts I've ever had. I'm gonna dream about these donuts for a while. I highly recommend sitting down and indulging in your donuts as soon as you pick them up! My favorite was the Oreo donut from the barista box but no one complained about a single donut that was eaten and every one was consumed! Definitely recommend if you're visiting this area, they have locations all up and down the island! read more

Don't act like you don't see that line! Yeah, it's that good. Hot, fresh, and amazing. I am SO down with this whole made-to-order operating model that it's not even funny. That said, this particular store's operations are confusing (pick your donuts up somewhere other than where you ordered them) but the payoff is well worth it. Id say, of all the places we went to in OBX this is the one you really shouldn't miss. read more

It was fine. Nothing mind blowing. The cashier clearly didn't want to be there. Her customer service was "meh" at best. The only exciting part of the donuts was that they were hot and fresh. Otherwise, they seemed like donuts you can get anywhere else. None of them had cream in the middle. Coffee options are limited. Parking stunk. It was cool to go once but wouldn't go again. read more

It was awesome!!!! It's so good because you order then you go across and watch them make the donuts!! Plus it goes really fast kinda like fast food!! Even if there's 5 families in front of you it's like 2 minutes!! read more

Oh my lawd am I glad we finally got to try Duck Donuts - and at their OG location at that! Duck Donuts has several locations now, some even closer to home and as far away as Puerto Rico...but on our trip to OBX, all anyone could talk about is getting Duck Donuts on our way home. We arrived around 9am on a Saturday and there was a bit of a line. They have separate sections for ordering and picking up but the line went quicker than expected. The donuts came out even faster and were piping hot, as promised! They were just as amazing as people said. And devoured within seconds. We've have other hot & custom donuts before, but these may be some of the best. The flavor of the donut base was incredible, and that's what made it special. It wasn't all about the toppings, it was a great donut too! Now to see if we can open up one of these back home... read more
