    Donut box
    Caroline J.

    Ordered donuts online for the next morning. Went with their summer sampler box of 12 donuts. When my husband went and picked them up they were all ready to go. Very easy process and the donuts were delicious!

    The best donuts of course, but I was throughly surprised by how yummy the PSL was! It is not too cinnamon-y as most are made and it's still packed with a great coffee flavor!

    First time trying Duck Donuts and it was one for the books! My hubby and I traveled to OBX Thanksgiving weekend for an engagement party and we stayed at the Hilton across the street. It took less than 2 minutes to walk for a quick to-go breakfast. Duck Donuts is infamous for their creative, flavorful donuts and they are only opened on weekends. I read up on some reviews before going and made sure to pre-order my donuts online in case there was a long line. As a first-timer, I chose the assortment half dozen and added a special comment to not include powdered donuts since i'm just not a fan. Since it was considered off-season, there were only a few customers in the shop so I really could've just ordered on the spot, but my box and iced coffee was conveniently waiting for me upon arrival. As you can see from the pictures, they are some good looking treats! I absolutely loved the maple bacon donut and was pleasantly surprised by the raspberry drizzled one in the middle... It had PEANUT BUTTER GLAZE... Just something I don't often run into in my local donut shops. In truth, they all were pretty fantastic. Of course I couldn't finish it all in one sitting so between the two of us, we pretty much snacked on it all weekend. It still even tastes perfect heated up in the microwave a few days later. Totally worth stopping in, especially if you are staying at the Hilton on the weekends! I don't know when I'll be back in the area, but this is definitely worth a revisit.

    Super slow....They are short staffed for the morning hours but the donuts are loaded with the good flavors ...an awesome treat!

    Duck Donuts is delicious but I don't need you to know that because I know the ultimate donut to order and if you ate it you'd be at Duck Donuts all of the time like me.... Causing a line and delay! Oh haha the secret recipe to get you lost in the sauce you ask... I'll never tell! Lemon, coconut, raspberry FEAST WITH YOUR EYES BELOW! FRESHLY COOKED AND CRAFTED!

    For what they serve... they do it the best! Fresh, made to order donuts in just about any combo you can think of! S'mores, strawberry & cream, maple & bacon... the list goes on. All of the donuts start as a plain batter, old fashioned naked donut (I do like them bare as well), then let your imagination go wild! Donut tempt be beyond what I can bear... and these donuts are sinfully good! I chose the midnight madness, chocolate icing with chocolate sprinkles... decadent! The service is fast, the beverages are plentiful, Earl Grey for me, and price point is just ducky! Don't forget to check out the merch for this iconic donut shop in OBX!

    Love this place so much. Only went on vacation but I think about it a lot. So yummy!!

    Holy cow those bacon maple donuts are amazing!!! The donuts are really delicious! They truly are great donuts! The coffee is tasty too! Came here with the family when we were walking by one morning. There was a line to get in outside. Due to Covid only 10 people were allowed in at a time. The line to get in; was stretched outside. We were waiting to get in and some lady just drives up in her car and walks right in and cuts the whole line. I called the lady out and she just brushed me off saying well I wasn't inside. I asked if she had a mobile pick up order. She said no. I let her know that she cut the whole line but she didn't care. No one said anything else to her. Everyone could hear me call her out inside because only 10 people were allowed in at a time anyway! The story does end well though!! When I was leaving a worker at Duck donuts asked if I wanted 12 donuts for free because someone never came to pick them up. I wonder if it's because they heard the line cutting altercation I had with the Karen! Kudos to duck donuts for making it right by comping the free 12 donuts!! Even though they didn't say anything at the time; they made it right!

    Iced southern pecan with caramel syrup and whipped cream with caramel drizzle. So good!
    Angela D.

    Great place to get coffee and donuts. Staff is very friendly. I got the iced southern pecan coffee with caramel drizzle and the girl added whipped cream and caramel drizzle for me. Yum, THANKS! This was the only location I've been to and it doesn't have any seating inside or outside really: would have given 5 stars if there was a little area I could enjoy my special treat.

    Donut with vanilla coating and donut with vanilla and Oreo crumble and raspberry drizzle.
    Toni P.

    Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. I've never seen a place with a group of more hardworking gals than here! Thank you so much! Great breakfast sandwiches that you can get on an English muffin or donut, yup a donut. Best damn donut I ever had! You can chose from a number of toppings, drizzles and coatings for your donut! It's made fresh and served warm!

    Alexa S.

    Duck Donuts is a must every visit to the OBX. Service was quick and donuts were delicious!

    Cinnamon and sugar, maple bacon, and cookies and cream donuts
    Caroline M.

    This is place is crowded with friendly staff, customers, and of course a delicious variety of donuts to choose from. Waiting in line will not be a problem. My husband and I went there on a Monday morning and the line outside the door was the good sign we needed. Indoors is relatively small but service is efficient. We ordered a mixed dozen ($23/dozen, any dozen) of cinnamon, maple bacon, and cookies and cream. All warm, made to order, and delicious, but our favorites were the first two aforementioned. If you're a donut sucker like me, you can't pass on this place. Do not let the long lines intimidate you. It's worth of your time and there's seating outdoors.

    Coffee Shop No. 410 Outer Bean…read moreKitty Hawk, NC September 5, 2024 If there is one thing I have learned over the last two in and a half years it's that a genuine smile and a warm greeting goes a really long way. It can transform an ordinary drink into something special. It makes the magic of coffee last throughout the entire day. I was immediately welcomed when I walked into the Outer Bean. Initially, I was bummed because cortados were not on the menu. I asked the barista if she would try to make one. She said sure. I gave her general directions and she walked to the espresso machine. A couple of minutes later she handed me a cup with two shots of espresso and a stainless steel pitcher with steamed milk. The barista said, "Why don't you add the milk in so you get it just the way you want." I thought this was a thoughtful gesture. I thanked her and made my cortado. We chatted a bit. It turned out she is Thai and my husband is Thai; and I love to talk about Thailand. I took a few pictures. We exchanged goodbyes and I exited the cafe with a genuine smile and a very positive impression of the Outer Bean. Smiles are free and they can elevate and/or improve any situation. Plus, folks always look better when they smile. I hope you make this world a better place by sharing your smile with someone today. Thank you to the barista at Outer Bean who shared her smile and made my day brighter. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

It got the job done as I enjoy one cup a day and was a bit behind schedule. The place is small, but perfect for a coffee shop where take out is mostly occurring.

Another thing to note is most places that are typically a local favorite are closed in Tuesdays. We drove into their massive lot and didn't see any cars.

Food was cooked made to order and SO delicious. I opted for a breakfast quesadilla and a side of pancakes(2 for the senior option). The salsa on the quesadilla was super tasty hint of garlic and fresh tomatoes. The super short stack of pancakes went to my belly quickly, hope I got photos. Service was spot on. Yes, a couple more people came but our server managed everything perfectly. From now on, we won't be driving to the Nags Head location, because I'm bumping the starts at this location.
