If someone throws these at you (or shoots at you), then make like a donut, and Duck. I do like how hot and fresh they are, but they lose 1 star for being a chain and 1 star for being a bit too heavy for my tastes. A little chalky and not wet and gooey and doughy enough for my tastes. It's super popular and good though. Yumtastic. I got 3 donuts, the maple, the plain and the glazed. All were pretty good but none were spectacular. Service here is really nice though. I just wish the product was more perfect. read more

Visited on Saturday July 6th. The store was as hot as a sauna. Staff was friendly and helpful despite the conditions.

Best. Donuts. Ever. I don't need to even say anything else other than try for yourself but they're so delicious that I'll provide some details for those who haven't had the chance to experience these donuts. These things come out nice and hot, baked perfectly with just the right amount of fluffy and moist texture, the closest resemblance to a cake out of all donuts I've tried. I'm not sure how they do it, but nothing compares to it. Absolutely blown away. I highly recommend the Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry Crumble, and Cookies & Cream flavors. Life changing experience. read more

Donuts I got for a volunteer group. Tasty and toppings and sauces were good but made doughnuts a bit soggy. Overall amazing flavour but I could only have one, vs fresh simple donut that I can have so many. All about the preference but flavour and service were good read more

If you're looking for freshly made snack, Duck Donuts is the spot! Not only do they serve all the traditional donuts you'll find at any donut shop, they offer you with the option to create your very own donut(s)! All their donuts are made-to-order and taste great! The price is reasonable, but expect to pay more than you would at a Dunkin Donuts. I would highly recommend checking out Duck Donuts at least for the experience of creating your own donut masterpiece. read more

Second visit on Father's Day, service was very busy and haphazard, as you would probably expect on Father's Day, so they looked terrible. We ordered 3 donuts from their fan favorites, flip flop, raspberry fluff and strawberry confetti. The actual cake part of the donut was really good, but there was zero flavor, they all tasted the same and all were extremely sweet. Definitely need to customize next time. read more

After all the hype about Duck Donuts, I happened to be in the area with my mom, so we decided to drop on by and have a quick snack. There is tons of parking in the area. It wasn't terribly crowded, and we were able to order our donuts pretty quickly. The employees were helpful and friendly in answering our questions as we didn't know anything about how to order their donuts. The concept is quite unique by having the choice to the coating, toppings, and/or drizzle. The list seemed a bit overwhelming at first, but think I would be better prepared the second time to know how I would want to order :P We ended up ordering lemon icing with shredded coconut and yelp's special Five star Fried Oreo. The donuts were prepared quickly..took less than 5 minutes to get our order. The lemon icing was quite delicious and the donut was perfectly heated and soft :) The fried oreo was a bit too sweet for my taste, and drizzled with a bit too much icing. Overall, really enjoyed Duck Donuts and will most definitely come back here again to try a different combination :) read more

This branch used to be amazing, friendly employees and fast service. The last time I'm here, with 3 customer ( each ordering 2 donuts each) it took them 20 minutes to make our order. No one was on the cash register even though there's two employees and both employees were unfriendly and were extremely slow. Disappointing. Even my 70 year old grandma moves faster than both of the employees combined. There was no napkins in any of the napkin holders. Empty coffee pots and the restroom was in a horrible condition. Paper towels all over the place. Note to business owner. Hire people who cares about your business or else you will lose your customers. read more

Bottom line: my fiancé is a fitness fanatic with a secret sweet tooth and this place is his new obsession. As soon as you walk in to this adorable little place, you're hit with smells of wonderful gooey, high calorie goodness that's made fresh right in front of you (mesmerizing watching them dip in the icing through the glass, haha). There are some other donut places that I think are pretty great but I think Duck Donuts beats them in terms of pricing, this place is way more affordable. These hearty donuts definitely hit the spot (warm or room temperature). Use the pen and paper to jot down exactly what you want (flavor donut, icing and toppings...there are lots of options) and give it to the cashier. You can pick from the favorites or make your own. Honestly, you can't go wrong either way. This may not be the ideal place to hang out since there's really little place to sit. Also it's pretty easy to hold up a line if trying to fill out the order sheet right in front of the cashier. It's within a little shopping center so now worries when it comes to parking. read more

I love donuts. I love duck donuts. The variety of flavors, the freshness, the price and aesthetic (so IG worthy) is all wonderful. Now why did I not give five stars if I love it so much? Because it's chaos there each time I go. There is no order to how everyone is working, the line is crazy long due to no one knowing exactly what they're suppose to be doing. It's like there is no manager there to supervise and just a bunch of tired teenagers doing their best. And they do do their best. This I can appreciate and kind of let slide. Now that being said. At the donut decorating table, I do not appreciate you cleaning and making my donuts at the same time. I pointed this out to them. So they just pulled the table out a little which only made matters worse. It's not their fault, they were doing their best cluelessly. read more

Stopped by during the day, and had a pretty seamless experience. If you already know what concoction you want, you can go straight to the register and let them know. If you're still deciding on combinations or have a larger order, there's an order form and pencils at the counter. They'll usually have signs up suggesting good combinations, if you're not good at that sort of thing like I am. I ordered a blueberry pancake donut for my husband, and a regular cinnamon sugar for myself. The donuts come hot and fresh if you eat them right there; I took mine home, so by the time I'd arrived, the glaze had caused the donut to melt a little. Nonetheless, it's tasty, you just need a fork or be willing to make a mess. I think this place makes a great once in awhile treat, though admittedly these donuts are much heavier than say Krispy Kreme, so one is probably my limit before I feel a sinking pit in my stomach. read more

So good! My husband and I ordered one each just to try it. Since it was our first time the lady helping us guided us on how to order. She told us that the donuts are vanilla flavored and then you can choose from a list of toppings and sauces. Also the donuts will be piping hot when you get them. I chose to top mine with maple glaze, bacon and salted Caramel drizzle. It was amazing! I love how generous they are with the bacon. Also it was not overpoweringly sweet! I forgot what drizzle my husband chose, but he topped it with chocolate sprinkles. He said it was good too. Definitely need to come here more often! read more

I can't imagine anyone not lovin' Duck Donuts. great selection, wonderful aroma and melt in yo' mouth donuts. We got a variety 12-pack to take to the office and were the heroes of the day. A few were left later in the afternoon and they were still just as fresh and good. If you'r ein Fairfax, definately try it. I didn't have any coffee but I hear it's pretty good too. read more

TLDR; YES! They do live up to the hype!! I love that you can create so many different combos of donuts and their ordering process is pretty straight forward with the order sheet. They're also food allergy friendly and they can make your order in a separate area if you do have an allergy in case of cross contamination as long as you give them a heads up. When I first heard bacon on a donut, I thought that would be a weird combo but don't knock it til you try it! Also, make sure you eat at least one (or two, or your whole box, whatevs) fresh while it's still hot! You can thank me later. read more

Amazing donuts! I love the customization factor here. There's basically a donut for everyone. We got a bucket of donuts and got a wide variety. They make these donuts fresh in front of you, so by the time you get them they're still hot. My favorite is probably a tie between the classic chocolate with rainbow sprinkles or the peanut butter chocolate donut. Service is really friendly. Definitely a crowd pleaser! read more

Attitude from this guy named Matias (could be a fake name he provided). Ordered 3 donuts and all 3 were still raw inside. This annoying guy (an alternative lifestyle person) at the front register kept trying to argue with me instead of just making me new ones. I showed them that it's raw inside and they tried saying that it's normal. Told them that I ordered from Duck Donuts many times before and I called on their B.S. Annoying guy whose name may or may not be Matias continued with the attitude and questioning me. I left the raw donuts on his counter and complimented him on his attitude and lack of customer service skills. I will never return to this location! read more

Yea..I'm definitely a fan of this place! If they had more selections I'd say Krispy Kreme may have a battle for my business! I like this establishment based on the fact that you can create your doughnuts ANY way you want to! If you like glaze, go ahead and shine that bad boy up! If you like chocolate, then put that liquid gold on it! If you like powder (and not the kind you do lines of..) then douse it and make it great! You can really mix and match them however you like! The line was long to be served but with one cashier she was very efficient and speedy. I think that the system they use to help with ordering makes everything smooth..plus it doesn't hurt to actually take a glance at the menu BEFORE you order. Overall I'll recommend this place and like Arnold said.. "OwlBeeBawk" read more

Halfway into what would turn out to be a three-hour meeting with a business coach in Fairfax I knew I wanted a reward. (Ok, I knew Duck Donuts was close before the meeting started and the idea of visiting was already on my radar, but the meeting's longevity certainly helped to solidify the certainty of the deal.) I had been wanting to visit this location again. I wanted to be certain my previous wonderful experience was not just some fantasy. Well this place is for real. I ordered four donuts and spent just a little over five dollars. And these donuts are SO good, especially if they are still warm when you munch them. Because hubby and I were coming from a business meeting I dragged him in with me. Much like his first experience with &pizza his was skeptical and moaning about the line. And, much like with &pizza, I told him the line would move fast, it was worth it, and he would understand after he tried it. Guess who was right; I was (shocking I know...;-). We got a Reese, maple with bacon & coconut, strawberry with color sprinkles, & vanilla with color sprinkles. We took them out to the car, opened them up, and enjoyed ourselves for a moment, or two. These donuts are good, really good, but they are even better when they are warm. The middle was soft and the toppings were great mixed with the warm donut. What is particularly nice about these donuts is that although they are cake they are not overly heavy or dense. Although I really like the toppings the donuts themselves are really good. I am looking forward to trying the cinnamon sugar as the weather gets colder, perhaps with some warm tea. Great customer service, good system, and tasty results (plus fun duck items). Bottom line, worth a visit, especially if you have a sweet tooth (or like ducks). read more

Get your fresh and delicious made-to-order doughnuts here! Loved all of the flavors. Basically you can be as creative with your frosting and topping choices. They have strawberry frosting to maple frosting and the list goes on. They have a lot of topping choices too. You can even get more frosting drizzled on top of your doughnut. We got maple bacon, Reese's peanut butter cup, french toast, cinnamon bun, and so many more. Their doughnuts are slightly crispy on the outer part and fluffy inside. So perfect read more

This new location opened about a month ago. Word in my hood is that it was not as crowded as the semi-established Herndon location. So.... on a Saturday morning around 10am, we took our chances and headed to Fairfax. This parking lot is always busy because of the Petco, Panera, and Party store. Adding the Duck Donuts will make parking a challenge. This morning was rainy and parking was not so bad but everyone entering the lot was out for donuts! It was a parking war. Once inside there was no line to order, but with the LARGE crowd waiting for their orders, it can get confusing. There were people lined up behind people who had already ordered. I can see the confusion. We quickly placed our order( no line), but then we waited behind approximately 18 other orders. The donut making team were on their toes! They were calling out orders very quickly. It took less than 15 minutes to get our order. The donuts were carefully iced and topped with our selections. They were very fresh. My family enjoyed the variety of donuts. As with any cake donuts, they do start to harden after a day, so a quick 10 seconds in the microwave and they were moist again. read more

So for a hater (yep, that's me, I don't typically like doughnuts) these doughnuts are pretty darned delicious. Duck doughnuts are fresh and cake-like. Much fluffier than a traditional doughnut and definitely less greasy. The best part is that these are "custom" doughnuts meaning the customer gets to select the frosting flavors that range from "normal" e.g., glaze, vanilla, chocolate, etc. to more exotic like peanut butter and maple. Customers can also choose toppings like rainbox sprinkles, peanuts, coconut (ummm... coconut) and others. The doughnuts are fresh fresh fresh. They make them as you order so you are receiving only the freshest and the best. Duck Doughnuts ROCK!!! read more

Once you quack, you can never go back. Sure, it might be a few extra scrolls down Facebook while you wait for your donuts, but it is well worth it. These are made to order and worth the wait.

Staff here are also very helpful, and super cool, which never hurts! read more

Have heard so many positive things about Duck Donuts. Staff is friendly but I wasn't impressed with the doughnut. The vanilla icing was super sweet and the vanilla cake doughnut was nothing special. It would be nice if there were some choices for the base doughnut- like blueberry, chocolate etc. I also prefer less dense doughnuts. They are made fresh and have unique toppings so maybe I'll try another combination next time. read more

I had been wanting to check out Duck Donuts for quite some time, but since it was out of the way for me I didn't make it there until last Sunday (Sept 30th). Decided to drop by after the Fall for Fairfax Festival. Went there after 2pm. There was a family eating at the table and the place was fairly quite. Wasn't sure what to order so I checked out their signature donuts as well as the fall flavors. Ended up ordering two donuts, vanilla icing with oreo crumbles and hot fudge drizzle and the second one, vanilla icing with salted caramel drizzle. I paid and waited for my order. This is where things went downhill. I waited for almost 15 minutes, during which time, three families came into the store placed their orders. Got their donuts, while I waited. One had ordered a dozen donuts, the other half a dozen and the third just 3 donuts. I just couldn't understand the wait, while all other after me had been served. I asked how much longer it will be and the woman behind the counter told me that these take time since they are custom made. I asked how is it possible for two donuts to take longer then the 21 donuts she just made. At that point she asked me, what my order number was and said that she never received my order. Two other staff members are looking on, none of them apologetic or even trying to acknowledge the fact that they messed up my order or that I had been waiting in the pick up area for so long. She then made my order, put it in a box. Chocolate sauce dripping from the box and said it's ready. The donuts looked sloppy and not appetizing at all. They might have tasted better had I not had to wait so long and the indifferent attitude of the staff. Even though this place has glowing reviews, for me at least customer service matters. I will not be returning here, unless I am again in this area and have plenty of time to waste. The donuts were not worth the wait. read more

3.5 stars.Whip out your insulin boys and girls cause after you have a taste of these duck doughnuts you are surely to give yourself a sugar high. Everyone wants a taste, that is why there are lines to order and people scattered wherever while waiting for their orders.

Duck Donuts is interesting in that they make an effort with every single donut. You custom order every single donut from the choices on their menu. All donuts cost the same whether you have a plain, or one with a glaze and a topping. It starts off with making the decision to have a cheat day/week/life, and have a donut or two. Then you pick from a multitude of glazes. I have eaten the regular glaze, chocolate, maple, and the cinnamon sugar. All are good, although I particularly liked the maple. It's a little different, with a nice scent and a hint of maple. Chocolate is very thick and tasty too. Then you pick toppings. Sprinkles are good, and the bacon is legit fried bacon that has been chopped into small pieces. I really like watching them dip the donuts in the warm glazes with incredible dexterity. Interestingly they have to-go boxes for as few as two donuts. Apparently they predicted that ordering a single donut was unlikely with the choices at hand. Donut itself is pillowy inside with a slightly firm/crispy exterior. Not quite as soft inside as fresh Krispy Kreme, but it's pretty close. Overall this is about as good as it gets with the exception of fresh off the conveyer Krispy Kreme glazed donuts. They will always be my number one. read more

Guilty pleasure is one way to describe my feelings when I drive past Duck Donuts. I love that the chain has done so well to become a mid-east-coast phenomenon from NC to here. Really a great chain that is consistent in quality throughout the locations. Tons of flavors and thankfully very visual menus help you pick what catches the eye, when you don't have the 'vision' to do it yourself. Their style of super-fresh donuts reminds me of the joy of the cupcake craze from the early '10s. I hope they remain a staple for years to come and keep popping up randomly at events I go to as they do today. read more

Duck Donuts - Don't remember all the names, don't care, all were delicious. - Donuts Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I'm not much of a dessert person. I like Dunkin Donuts because they aren't too heavily frosted, they are cheap, they are small...and I hate Krispy Kreme. So I was skeptical about another donut shop that seemed to go heavy on the frostings and toppings that cost a bit more. I was wrong to be skeptical. This place is great. Each donut is like a meal. I like the idea of the toppings. This location usually is pretty fast and the donut makers seem to be very nice. I've been here about 5-6 times and I make sure to stop in when I'm driving by if I have time. If you are unfamiliar to Duck Donuts you are going to need 400 napkins and a shower after eating them, so keep that in mind if you are looking for a snack before a business meeting. I ate at the original location in the Outter Banks as well. I think the quality transferred pretty well. read more
