    I picked up a dozen donuts to bring to my office and they were a huge hit! The donuts are warm and made fresh right in front of you. They're all a vanilla cake type donut and the staff tops them with any variety of flavored glazes that you ask for. You can create your own combination or choose from a menu selection. The flavors are out of this world! I got the Breakfast Box which consists of one each of these creative flavors: Cinnamon Sugar, Coffee Cake, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Blueberry Streusel, French Toast, Bacon in the Sun, Cinnamon Bun, Cookies and Cream, Maple Bacon, Peanut Butter Fluff, Glazed, and Blueberry Pancake. Duck Donuts does not offer filled donuts such as Boston Creme or a Jelly Donut. This store is at the Midstate Mall on Route 18. It's in the corner all the way at the back, next to the Amsterdam Smoke Shop and close to Rai Rai Ramen. There's lots of free parking. Staff was friendly and helpful. The space has been newly renovated and is clean with big windows. I went on a sunny afternoon and it was very bright inside. I highly recommend you come here if you like donuts!

    This donut shop had been on my radar for a while now and I'm glad I finally got to try it out. They have so many options to choose from along with seasonal options but I opted to create my own. I went with a s'mores vibe but with the added chocolate sprinkles. When I ate my donut it was nice and warm and I couldn't put it down. The donut here are the cakey type but weren't heavy at all.

    I'm a doughnut girl through and through. At Parents weekend at SBU they had a Duck Donuts Stand. So we got three different kinds to try. The strawberry sprinkles, the Oreo and the maple bacon. The maple bacon was the best! Sweet and salty. The Oreo came in second. The doughnuts are soft and chewy and alittle sweet with the frosting. They were delicious the perfect treat on a rainy day.

    the donuts at duck donuts are so fresh and yummy! perfect amount of sweetness in each bite ! It's also great to see the employees making the donuts right in front of you live..according to your own requests! The vibe is cool and have good amount of seating for quick yummy treat!

    Got 1/2 dozen donuts and it was 5/5... warm and delish! Customer service was superb! Ive been there a few times and the service is maintained.

    Aesthetically pleasing but not aesthetically pleasing to eat.

    My sisters and I looking for a little sweet treat and heard good things about duck donuts. We were very let down. Definitely overrated. We got the dozen pack with a very wide assortment. All of them tasted the same with bland same tasting frosting. The workers were like not very interactive with the customers but it's alr. They looked really good tho. I'm really regretting my decision.

    First things first, this place smells heavenly ! With that said, STAY FOCUSED once you see all the available options. You can either use the kiosk to place your order or for those who prefer a personal interaction there's a person at the register. It's definitely an experience as they make the donuts in front of you. They are fresh, warm, and definitely some of the best donuts I ever had! On this order, we ordered a 1/2 dozen donuts (glazed, midnight madness and sunrise, to name a few) and a birthday cake milkshake. The milkshake was so YUMMY. Will definitely return and definitely recommend. The donuts hit the spot and take care of the sweet tooth. Enjoy.

    Hi, I wanted to…read moreextend a special thank you to Jessie and Riley at your Old Bridge, NJ location for providing such outstanding customer service. They are always so friendly, kind, and incredibly helpful. During our last visit, my 9-year-old daughter had lots of questions about your delicious cakes, and Jessie and Riley took the time to answer each one with patience and enthusiasm. They made her feel so special, and it truly made our visit memorable. Because of experiences like that, my daughter is always asking me to take her back! We both love everything about your restaurant--from the amazing food and desserts to the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Employees like Jessie and Riley are a big part of why we keep coming back. Please pass along our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service they provide. They are wonderful representatives of your team! Warmly, Angela & Melissa L.

Today we came here after our daughter's graduation from preschool to let her pick out a pastry for herself. This spot is great to try out new things that you otherwise wouldn't have tried. I had a croissant a few months ago that usually is a mini croissant filled with some type of lemon custard cream with strawberries on it. It's usually in the display with the savory foods (sandwiches etc). Whatever that lemon custard cream is that they use in those is so good but those croissants are so small. I asked someone at the front if they could help me with finding something else that uses the same lemon custard and she showed me a few options. So happy I picked that purple donut pictured, it was so delicious. I highly recommend anything with that lemon custard in it. It reminds me of this lemon cream cheese icing my mother used to make for lemon cake and it is so good, but this was 10x better. All of the fruit on the pastries is always perfect. The best strawberry and blueberry quality and ripeness you could ask for (not tart at all). The employees are super kind, I feel like I'm always super self conscious going here because we always decide last second before I get ready for the day and I'm always ready to be judged by everyone I encounter for how I look , but everyone has always been super sweet here and always interacts with our daughter as well and makes it a fun experience for her. So refreshing to encounter kind people in NJ. As for everything else, I'm more of an espresso/super strong coffee person, and I usually prefer getting coffee across the parking lot at Gregory's and then eating Paris baguette's pastries with it. Paris baguette's coffee is maybe like a 7 in my personal opinion. Still an amazing spot though. I haven't tried their baguettes, and I know that's the entire point of this spot, but wow, their pastries are enough to never try anything else .

Lots of other restaurants nearby.. lots of parking outside . Wasn't that crowded when I went . Service was ok and quick. I ordered through the digital kiosk and it was easy to order . Got ice cream with donut and they picked it in a plastic sandwich box pressing the whole scoop of ice cream down . When I opened the box , half ice cream was stuck in the plastic lid . Wish they had better packaging ! Ambience was ok .. Donuts were good . About 3$ for a donut , cheaper than aKrispy Kreme and tim hortons , but the quality wasn't as good as Tim Hortons ! The donuts were toooo sugary on the top. They almost had a thick layer of sugar and it gets stuck to the box if you pack it . It was a bit dry when I ate it at home .. donut ice cream was fantastic though. Ate it right then and it tasted like heaven. Was an average experience , especially the donuts being dry ! Wish it was soft .. 3 stars

    HORRIBLE EXP!! STAFF RUINED OUR GENDER REVEAL BY REVEALING GENDER…read moreWe ordered gender reveal cupcakes on 10/12 (name is Rad on order), giving the employee a sealed envelope with the gender since we didn't know ourselves. Later that day, we called to change the pickup date from 10/17 to 10/14, and the employee confirmed the change. When I asked to make sure all cupcakes would be filled, she said, "Yes, all will be filled with pink," completely ruining the surprise. This was supposed to be a private, special moment for us as expecting parents, and it was ruined by carelessness. The next day, another employee called to confirm our order but didn't even seem to have the correct details, proving the lack of communication. Please train your staff better for situations like this--moments like ours can't be redone. I emailed the company - they said the store manager will call but never did. Completely unprofessional. -- Reema

Based on her reaction, it's safe to say that their cupcakes aren't that bad. I wasn't a big fan of the service here. The people seemed like they just wanted us to get in and get out. I felt like they could've been more welcoming and nicer. They didn't even acknowledge my niece. The vibe here isn't really anything special. Would I come back here again? Probably not. You guys can check it out and see for yourself. Maybe I came on the wrong day.

I've been here twice with groups of 6. We've ordered everything from the burgers, to the chicken sandwiches and fish and chips. I ordered a Chicken Caprese sandwich and I enjoyed it the first time. The 2nd time I ordered the Veggie Wrap which I decided to turn into a sandwich. That didn't work so well. The burgers were good too. The items all had the option of fries or salad. All the food was good, except the fish and chips was batter and very little fish. The old school ambiance is really nice. The restaurant has an upstairs and downstairs dining area, each with its own bar. If in the area for a show, Tavern on the George has it down to a science getting all the groups in and out in time. Although, the food is nothing special, I'd come here again.

I contacted the store to order 1.5 dozen cupcakes for my 6yr old birthday party which the order was very simple. Plain vanilla cupcakes with less vanilla buttercream (cause it's for small kids) piped with a round tip and topped with sprinkles. I thought choosing to opt for a bakery over going to shoprite I would've gotten freshly baked cupcakes but these cupcakes were horribly done with both taste and appearance. Firstly by just looking at the cupcakes the piping were all flattened and didn't even look like it was piped, when I got home, I decided to repackage them into individual cupcakes holders for each kid and when I picked them up they were all cold and hard and they were burnt and dark on the edges and bottom. I didn't think anything of it at that point cause the bakery had it stored in the fridge before I picked it up and I had no order choice but on the day of the party which was next day, I took them out the fridge which I had it for a few hrs and people still said that the cupcakes were cold and hard. For Valentines as well I stopped by the shop and bought cookies and they tasted horrible and stale. My 4 & 5 yr old threw them out. The quality and appearance is a no from me and I know now that I will never be ordering from her again.
