I got a half dozen during Valentines weekend. I got chocolate explosion, coffee cake, cookies n cream, blueberry streusel, bacon in the sun, and valentines limited donut (I forgot the name). I loved the donut itself. It was fresh made to order. It came out relatively fast and the staff were nice and friendly. I came at a perfect time. There was no line and I was able to take my time picking what I wanted and was offered suggestions as well. So yummy!! I also got a bacon, egg, cheese on a donut. It was also very yummy. The iced latte and caramel macchiato was a tad too sweet. Gave me the sugar rush and I definitely crashed later in the afternoon!

I am a donut fan. More than that, I am a donut snob. I admit it. I have my ranked list of best donuts in the country... Duck is on that list - way at the top. My family loves the build your own donut approach. We love that they come out warm. We love that they taste so delicious! What we don't love is that Duck Donuts has expanded across America and not yet come to Indiana... Oh well, it make them more special when we go to OBX and get them from their birthplace. Kill Devil Hills location has great service - gave use their favorites when we came in. And the inside was clean. There was a line of people waiting for donuts and they got through quickly. Great experience - ordered two per person on this visit (could have been way more and they still would have been gone!)

We schedule a Duck Donuts day every time we are in the area. I was ecstatic to find out there is a location close to my home in Falls Church (?!) Always warm and very soft, they nearly melt in your mouth.

I DREAM about this place! These donuts are delicious and always fresh! If you come down to the OBX, you MUST try Duck donuts! Service is friendly and the ambiance is very kid friendly and you can watch them make your donut! The Maple Bacon is my favorite!!!

All the donuts are exactly the same.... the toppings and decorations make them what they are! We got the Halloween themed box and it was creative and fun! A bit pricey but hey, you're on vacation! Enjoy!

Duck, duck....donuts!! Donuts are life -- for my baby girl that is. They're quick, they're soft, they're hot, and they're tasty. I watched my gal make the donuts (all bases first, then all toppings, then all drizzles) and was impressed at her speed and memorization. They're priced as much as DD, but you're def better off here with the quality and price of coffee, donuts, And cute merch, all supporting local.

The only part about Duck Donuts that I don't like is that it's 1500 miles from my house. We went twice in a week - once and ordered in the store (tip: go off peak to avoid long lines); the other online for pick up. The donuts are cake-y and delicious and made fresh - served warm. You can make about any combo of icing flavors, toppings and drizzles you can imagine. They have some cute swag, but it's priced as souvenirs. ($$$)

Duck Donuts is the closest thing to Fractured Prune. They definitely have their own name and reputation, but nothing beats the original. They're gonna be packed any day, so I recommend pre-ordering online! My family bought two dozen of their Summer Sets and it was ready perfectly on time. They tasted great and added even more sweetness to our vacation

Sarah S.

First timer here! Walked in, and it smelled great. Everything was clean and organized. I was searching for the list of donut types, they are by the register. I got a half dozen of donuts. The box was warm when it was handed to me. Nice and fresh! Tasted great! I was surprised by how much I liked them. I'll definitely be back.

Kell M.

This is worth the hype! Delicious cake donuts, fresh and hot and the toppings are so yummy. You can pick from their selection or create your own. They're very sweet but it's a nice treat (a bit heavy but fun for an occasion). Truly a really delicious dessert spot!

Mike H.

The donuts were hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. Just like I remembered. Highly recommend the blueberry.

Not all that great of an experience. While placing my order the order taker seemed like it my have been her first day. I'm not going to recreate that day with the play by play action. When a person asks for a sausage egg cheese to be made on a maple glaze bacon doughnut the clerk really does not need to ask if I want bacon on it. I got the receipt with the order number on it and waited. From one counter someone called out a coffee drink. Was that mine? Yes it was. Didn't call out a number. Asked about the food and was told to wait for the order number to be called. Waiting area number 2 our number was called. A box of donuts was presented to me. I asked about the sausage egg and cheese sandwich and the shoulders of the associate shrugged. Another said it's coming from the back. I got dizzy jus being there. There were no utensils to eat with. Napkins had to be begged for. No indoor seating. In conclusion I found the place not very inviting to want to return.

Halloween donuts. One with chocolate glaze and one with pumpkin glaze.

Courtney K.

Bottom Line: Fresh cake donuts dressed up with the toppings you specify. I use to be indifferent to Duck Donuts but the last several years I converted to being a big fan. What I like about Duck Donuts is that they are always fresh. For anyone not familiar with the concept of customizable Duck Donuts it goes something like this: 1. Vanilla cake dough is dropped in the friar after you place your order. 2. The donut is formed, travels down the conveyor belt, drains and then is ready for the coating of your choice. 3. Next the topping of your choice is added. 4. Finally, the donut is drizzled as you prescribe. I tend to keep it really classic with chocolate coating, rainbow sprinkles and then a hot fudge drizzle. My husband is all about the sweet and salty so he goes for a maple coating with bacon bits. On our most recent visit we both branched out and tried season flavors which included a pumpkin glaze. It is nice that you can get a single donut or several dozen. Duck Donuts also has coffee, tea, bottled drinks and merchandise, of course.

Duck Donuts is an amazing (and fun) concept. Made to order unique, hot, fresh donuts. Going off season made for an easy experience. The staff at this location really are something special. Many cute Duck Donut gift items round out your experience! Unfortunately we found the Duck Donuts actually in Duck, closes off-season. We were so glad this one, and the one in Nags Head remained for those who visit off-season or actually live in the area. read more

Came down here to kill devil hills, NC for spring break and decided to stop here for donuts and I gotta say these donuts are the best I've had in a while. Lot of delicious donut options, ice coffee was good, the service was quick, and the shirt I got here looks great. Overall I definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for some good donuts, ice coffee or some merchandise. read more

What is so great about this place? One type of donut covered in goopy toppings. I haven't been for years, so I tried it again in KDH and I ended up with 3 donuts that tasted like they had been warmed up in a microwave and the toppings were a melted mess . It's me I guess, but how about a real donut shop with different types of donuts ? read more

The fact that I dream about and think about Duck Donuts should be embarrassing. They are that good! Every single flavor and topping has been KILLER! The Blueberry with streusel, Coffee Cake, French Toast and Cinnamon Bun are all my favorites. The best tip is to order online and get there at the exact time they say to pick up.

I hate to be a naysayer, but I just really don't get the hype over these donuts. I just didn't think they were anything special. They were really messy to eat.

Two days in a row and I was disappointed. The place closes at 2pm which is crazy to me. We went at 1:25pm and tried to get espresso but they said they shut the machine down because they close at 2. Soooo, shouldn't you turn the machine off at 2pm and not 1:30? We ended up at Starbucks. Tried this location again today for the second time and went at 11am thinking we should be good but when we wanted whipped cream on our drinks, they told us they had run out. At 11am?! If you're going for donuts and you have kids and you want to have fun, cool. But just be ready to wait in long lines and have staffers run around crazy. This location isn't really a good one if you ask me. Other location are better. read more

OBX is all about the Duck! I like these delicious donuts because they're fluffy and a mix between the yeasty ones at KK and the cakey ones at the "other DD"! With all the different combos and flavors choices, I still like the good ole "bare" naked ladies! A cup of coffee or tea and a donut? What can be better! I was "holey" impressed by this location with friendly and fast service. Get your Duck souvenirs here... t-shirts, mugs, cups, hats or a cute rubber ducky (love the mermaid Duck, it quacked me up!)

I personally am not much of a donut fan (unless it's Krispy Kreme's jelly filled) but this place WOWED ME! I didn't really know what to expect making my own donut, but it is not only a great experience but also great tasting! The batter of these donuts is all the same, and once its topped off, it almost tastes like a cake more than a donut. It's so neat to see the donuts made right there on the belt! There are so many combinations you can make from these donuts, and if you aren't feeling so crazy, you can just get one of the OBX classics! The one thing that did disappoint was the iced coffee section, I love that they had syrups to add, but unfortunately the only selection for cream is Half and Half (and I usually use almond milk) Don't let that deter you, these donuts are great :) read more

We came in a little early and they had a short line outside. They are limiting capacity so you only go in to order and they bring it out to you when it's done. It's really nice that they do that as part their COVID-19 safety measures. Our orders came out in about 15 minutes. The donuts were so warm and fresh. Tasted so good! We picked up a few different kinsmds to try. My friends wanted a chocolate and sprinkles, chocolate and toffee nuts, cheesecake and my favorite, bacon and maple. Great service and delicious donuts!! read more

I've never been much of a donut fan, but Duck Donuts may have changed me forever!! This place is more than just a donut shop it is an experience. For your convenience they have papers that you fill out to order with suggestions of the most popular dozen of donuts, or you can create your own box from their favorite flavor. You can also create your own flavor by choosing a filling, sprinkle, base coating so you can make it to your liking. While you order they are making them fresh so they come out nice and hot! Some of our favorite flavors include s'mores, Oreos, maple bacon (if that is your thing), and peanut butter chocolate. read more

Donuts were AMAZING!!!!!!!! Lots of variety. If you're going in the summer with lots of people, try the summer sensation dozen. If not, try the normal dozen. Some crazy donuts include Maple Bacon donuts and s'more donuts! To sum it up, Duck Donuts has everything! If you're staying in the Outer Banks, you should definitely go out of your way and treat yourself to a DUCK DONUT!! P.S. There's a store in Avon. That facility has only been open a month, but they taste as good as ever! You can show them some love by giving them a good review, or even buy a t-shirt! read more

Wow these donuts were delicious. I wasn't going to eat a donut and just decided to sample 1/4 of one. I had this coffee tasting one and it was utterly delicious. Had to go back and eat another 1/4 haha (having already had a big breakfast). It wasn't as dense as I thought it was going to be; if anything lighter than most donuts with great taste. If you haven't had duck donuts I would recommend stopping by if you're in the area. read more

Made to order donuts. Doesn't need much more explanation than that. Fresh out of the fryer donuts made right in front of you. Expect to wait a minimum 5 minutes or 20+ if you're getting a dozen or more. Little pricy but good and worth it. I believe you can order online ahead of time to cut your wait time down. read more

The standouts were the schnitzel sandwich and the Cuban--both were incredibly fresh, perfectly hot, and packed with flavor. We also grabbed a few baked sweets to enjoy later in the afternoon, which turned out to be the perfect treat after a day out. What truly elevated the experience was the owner--so warm, welcoming, and full of great recommendations. You can tell there's real care behind both the food and the experience here.

We don't need a huge lunch so ordered a Chicken Schnitzel which is served on a challah bun. We ordered it plain since we took it home and cut it in half and add condiments to our individual taste. This was very good and half was all either of us needed. The menu of hot sandwiches is very tempting. There are at least 15 offerings from various versions of the chicken schnitzel to ham and cheese to Cubans to jerk and Cajun. They also offer burger varieties as well as build your own. There are plenty of no-charge condiments plus some like fried egg, bacon, grilled onions or peppers, etc for a charge. Our sandwich was made fresh for us and was still nicely hot when we got home to enjoy it. The two of us had a very good sandwich at a great price. And don't forget to check out the assortment of freshly baked donuts and sweet pastries. They are very tempting.

Our visit today was our 8th visit to Duck Donuts, most of which were at the Kill Devil Hills location. This was a birthday visit for our 10 year old who loves Duck Donuts. Not the best visit from our perspective. The staff were stressed, rude and very unhelpful. I'm attributing this to the heat, the summer rush and the Covid-19 social distancing restrictions Duck Donuts have enacted. Only allowing 8 people in the store at a time meant a line of 20 people out on the sidewalk in the broiling 96 degree summer sun. No advance menus were handed out, so we were left feeling very rushed when we finally got in the store. It was very difficult trying to read the menu for coffee and donuts when the information was in 3 different places - 1 on the large board for coffee (we still have no idea what cold coffee options were available), 1 for the specials and another for the donuts. The young lady behind the order counter was non-verbal at best, very unhelpful! We just ended up getting a mixed dozen, and didn't order any build-your-own donuts due to feeling discouraged by the unhelpful order-taker. The woman running the door rudely asked our 2 kids to step out unattended while my wife and I fixed our coffees. She allowed a party of 8 (2 adults and 5 kids) in the store while other customers were in there thereby violating the 8 customer rule while we waited in line. The donuts were also put together in what appears to be a haphazard way as they're light on toppings. Suggestions for improvement - Provide shelter for those waiting outside, or at least provide water. Pass out advance order slips so they can fill them out and pass them up, thereby avoiding the interior of the store all together. Discontinue the unsanitary make-your-own coffee bar as that takes time and results in fewer customers in the store over time. Recruit and train staff with customer service in mind. read more

Sometimes you come across the perfect specimen of a food group. That happened to us last week when we got the privilege of having Duck donuts for breakfast. These are cake donuts, but not. I hate cake donuts. I'm actually not a huge fan of donuts at all, but hey, this was vacation! This is how it works. You go into the store and basically they make your donuts fresh, to order. You choose an icing (maybe 8 options?) and a topping (6 options maybe?). If you are ordering several you can fill out a form. Then you wait, maybe 3 minutes, 5-10 if they're swamped. They call out your number and your donuts are handed to you, HOT, in a box. I highly recommend the maple with bacon, the lemon with coconut, and the peanut butter with chocolate. I can not say enough about how good these are! This "non-donut lover" went there 2x in four days! read more

This place is great. However, I have only been able to get food from there twice. I have went there 20 times, I think. The reason for this is because the people who work there are lazy, and close at 12:00pm. I gave up trying to hit this place up due to there lack of appropriate business hours. Makes me think that the owners dont care read more

We're from the North East, where Dunkin Donuts reigns, but this place tops them all. Warm, made-to-order donuts are hard to beat. Line was out the door early this morning, so get there early. My favorite was the maple glaze, bacon topping and salted caramel drizzle. Stop here at least once during your stay! read more
