Stopped at Duck Donuts on S Croatan Hwy and ordered the breakfast dozen along with three coffees. Picked everything up and brought it back to our Airbnb. I'd been wanting to try Duck Donuts for a while, and they did not disappoint! The donuts were delicious, with a great variety--French Toast, Coffee Cake, and even one topped with bacon. Honestly, I can't think of one I didn't like. Everything was ready when we arrived, which made pickup easy and quick. The only downside was that the coffee wasn't warm, which was a bit of a letdown. Still, the donuts alone were worth the stop, and I'll definitely go back the next time I'm near a Duck Donuts. read more

I am not a donut person. Except for when it comes to Duck Donuts, that is. If you're "not a sweets person," I would challenge you to try a donut from here and see if that's still true afterwards. This is a busy location, but ordering ahead online makes for easier pick up and less wait time. Ambiance is very much a to-go spot, but there's no shortage of places to sit and enjoy your donuts if you decide to. There are no misses when it comes to flavors, but if you're too overwhelmed to build your own box you can opt for one of their variety boxes to get a little bit of everything. My absolute favorites are the maple bacon donut (the perfect mix of sweet and salty) and the blueberry lemonade (so refreshing without being too sweet). If you want to be the favorite person at your summer rental, picking up donuts from here will for sure secure your spot. read more

In general you can never go wrong with Duck Donuts. They are a sugary, hot, fresh treat. We did a custom dozen. The flavors we picked: peanut butter fluff, Neapolitan, cookies and cream, raspberry sugar cookie, peanut butter blossom, coconut, lemon bar, snowball , berry Christmas cookie, chocolate caramel cookie, chocolate crinkle cookie, and chocolate explosion. Overall they are delicious but some are better than others. The chocolate ones are a little underwhelming, but the fruity and peanut butter flavors are so good! The store itself was clean and had branded merchandise as well as coffee. read more

As an avid cake-donut enjoyer, this shop is perfect. The customer decides the toppings and is able to see their donut being made to their liking. When it comes out initially, it's very hot and tastes best to eat while it is warm. 4.7/5 Stars read more

Picked up Egg & cheese (on english muffin) and half-a-dozen donuts for brunch / breakfast during my recent OBX visit. Loved it, specially the freshly made donuts. One of the best I've had recently. Service was awesome too - very quick & well-organized (despite being super busy with so many orders at peak time). Will visit again, for sure! read more

We love some duck donuts...especially my kiddos. They love picking their own toppings and the ones that they offer. My kids ended up buying souvenirs. Cute pop it's, and key chains, shirts lol...just take my money hahaha service was great. read more

Donuts were hot, fresh, and yummy. We went early and the wait wasn't too bad, but the line got long quickly.

Delicious. They're so different they don't even taste like your typical donut. Love that you can get an assortment of your choosing. I love the chocolate coconut one. Maple bacon is also a favorite. We had to drive a good ways to get to this one as the other nearer locations were closed. read more

Duck Donuts has been a favorite for my family and me since we first discovered them in South Carolina years ago, so naturally we couldn't resist checking out their Nags Head location! I'm happy to say our visit did not disappoint! Service was excellent, ordering was fast, and the donuts were FULL OF FLAVOR and SAVORY! I love the ability you have to customize your donuts and appreciate the care that goes into preparing and making them! 100% recommend checking out Duck Donuts if you've never been! read more

Duck Donuts - Peanut Butter Paradise Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Stopped in for a treat since it seems to be the beat donut spot around. This is a set up for freshly made and decorated donuts, customized to whatever you want. They have a pretty extensive menu of suggested combinations but you can also DIY. They also have a variety of coffee drinks as well as cute merch! We got a half dozen which were served warm, and still pretty warm when we drove about 10 minutes back home. I was surprised the frosting didn't melt off! I had the midnight madness (all chocolate), cookies and cream, and the sunrise which was lemon and raspberry, recommended by the friendly cashier. Everything was tasty and fresh! I was happy to find that the next day, they were still tasty and fresh after a quick 10 second microwave. Definitely a worthwhile stop! read more

I am an absolute donut fiend and have my share of Duck Donuts every time I come to the Outer Banks. And while I love them, they aren't my absolute favorite for one main reason... coating the donuts while they are still warm. I do enjoy a warm donut but these things turn soggy if you don't eat them right away which isn't always my preference. In turn, their toppings become a melty, goopy mess. read more

"Delicious donuts in shopping center with Food Lion in Nags Head" Duck is just a little ways north, but you can get Duck Donuts here in Nags Head! In the strip mall with the Food Lion, you'll see this place hopping, but please note their hours of 7am-2pm... not an evening stop. I've come a few times, and it's often crowded. My one complaint is that the "flow" in the restaurant is not that clear for newcomers... it would make more sense to have the cash register near the front and waiting area near the back, but it's the opposite, so people come in and get confused about who's in line to order vs. milling about waiting for their donut orders. (To be clear, I think it's not their fault, given the shape of the store.) Duck Donuts has a ton of GREAT flavor options (including a coating and a topping)-- check out their website for specifics. What's also wonderful is you get them fresh and prepared-to-order. They come to you hot and almost gooey, but note they can be a little greasy as a result, so be careful where you set down the paper bag/ box after you leave. Also, you'll have to wait a few minutes -- it's not "grab and go" since they're preparing them to order on the spot. The staff are thoughtful and friendly. I've also come on "National Donut Day", when they give everyone a free donut (not custom -- it's a specific kind), and they're still patient despite the place being a bit of a zoo. Let me be clear-- this ain't no Dunkin (which I also like). It's not racks of donuts sitting since the morning. These are FRESH, custom-prepared, and delicious. Well worth checking out. read more

This is a very nice location. Friendly staff AND they made my caramel macchiato just the way we like it. We were pleasantly surprised that today was National Donut day so we got a free donut! The free donut was a simple cinnamon sugar donut and was soooo good; you really don't need anything fancy because their donuts are light and fluffy and moist. read more

5 STARS IN THE OFF SEASON lol. I can only imagine what a crazy frenzied zooooo this place must be during the busy season (and don't intend to find out lol). But in the off season where there was absolutely no line when I walked in (granted it was a weekday around 11AM) I was all for satisfying my rare craving for a Maple Bacon (which in the OBX they refer to as Bacon in the Sun - get it? Cute.) 2 bucks a donut FOR A DUCK DONUT is worth it considering the donuts are MADE TO ORDER, they're fresh and hot (warm) and the zillions of different toppings and glazes they offer are the real-deal and they don't skimp! It truly is a (NOT LOW CAL!!!) sweet (and/or savory) treat. Beware: this is not a grab-and-go donut shop a la Dunkin' - not here. Step into the shop for an "experience" you just really have to take in. This is basically a concoct-your-own donut experience - one at a time, anything goes. If you want, you can create a different combo of glaze and topping for each donut you order. Or, if you don't want the total DD experience (no judging! I get it!), there are some nice conveniences offered: like choosing from Fan Favorite flavors that are their most popular topping combos you can order off the glossy picture menu when you get up to the ordering counter, an assortment option where they choose an assortment of flavors for you or an online ordering option. But know that if you do order in the store, be prepared to wait for your donuts to be HANDMADE. Duck Donuts aren't just for breakfast either. Have them for dessert or a hearty mid day snack! They're re-heatable in the microwave and are THE BEST warmed! A DD with a cup of coffee or, better yet, a tallllllll cold glass of milk. YES! THE NAGS HEAD STAFF IS AWESOME. Super friendly, very helpful, responsive, PATIENT. They're pros. They will help the Duck-Donut-Uninformed - ha - so if you've never been and don't know the drill, dw - YOU WON'T FEEL INTIMIDATED (sort of how you felt when you walked into a Starbucks for the first time ever and had to learn the lingo of Sbux). Won't happen here! Again, giving 5 STARS FOR A NO WAIT OFF SEASON STOP-IN (March). I have no idea how many stars I would give for an in-season-mobbed-looooooong-line wait....but I won't be finding out. Nothing - not even Duck Donuts - is worth any kind of ridiculous wait. Not for me anyway. :) Content to make this an off-season-only treat. PS I just spotted on their menu (on their website) a bacon (or sausage) egg cheese BETWEEN 2 DONUTS bfast sandwich - SAY WHAT?!! Sounds sweet-and-salty-messy-good and will have to try it next time I'm there. https://www.duckdonuts.com/menu/ read more

I didn't realize they were only open until 1pm so I felt like a butthead showing up at 12:50pm, but they were kind enough to brew me some coffee despite the timing! The donut is absolutely where its at, I got the donut with maple icing, bacon, and a caramel drizzle and it was fantastic. Savory, sweet, warm, exactly what was needed on a cold day. The coffee was fine, pretty much Starbucks quality, which isn't surprising seeing as this is a chain, not coffee I'd feel a need to get again. All in all, absolutely a recommendation for donuts, especially with their huge variety, but for coffee I'd stick to finding a more local cafe who will give you something of higher quality taste. read more

Never had I ever seen a bacon donut, and now, I haven't seen a better, crispier, more flavorful, (and a little messier) since. Duck Donuts has my absolute approval. read more

Everyone there is so friendly. All of the donuts are made in front of you and fresh. The taste of the donuts are absolutely amazing. The inside of the shop has a ton of souvenirs to keep you busy while you wait for your donuts to be ready. They have a wide variety of donuts to choose from and it's pretty cozy inside. I hope everyone enjoys these donuts as much as me and my family did!!! read more

Bottom Line: Cake donuts made to order and customized with frosting and toppings. When Duck Donuts was first starting to gain popularity in the Outer Banks I wasn't a big fan because cake donuts weren't my thing. But I've really come to appreciate Duck Donuts over the years. Duck Donuts makes one kind of donut - a plain naked cake donut. Then the donut is dipped, sprinkled, rolled, drizzled, glazed and/or frosted to order this every donut is made custom. For something very breakfasty I like a donut rolled in cinnamon sugar and then frosted with vanilla icing. For something more desserty I often go for the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker crumbs of the S'mores donut. During COVID I have been trying to place my order online but the website doesn't seem to work so I've been showing up at 7am with my order form. I feel like Duck Donuts is taking COVID seriously and is very organized. They have you fill out your order form outside and then they ask that only one member of your party enter the store to pay. After paying you wait for your order outside, six feet from others of course, and then an employee brings the order out to you. This location is closed on Sundays and Mondays which seems a little odd, especially the Sundays. Also, this season they have been closing at noon which is a bummer but we've been planning accordingly. read more

My husband is usually the donut person, but these donuts were so phenomenal that I wanted more! Sadly they are not open during the week (maybe these are winter hours or winter COVID hours), so we only got to visit once. If I would have paid attention to the store hours, then I would have gone back before they closed to get some for the next day. It is a cute store, and they have tons of merchandise. When you walk in, if you follow the duck feet to the counter, you will be six feet apart. I appreciate them keeping us safe and socially distant. The first unique thing you should know about Duck Donuts is that they only make vanilla and chocolate donuts. You pick which donut base you want, and then you add the icing and toppings to your donut base. Yes, they aren't pre-made with the icing and toppings, but they are made to order. I think this makes them So much more delicious than any other donuts I've eaten. Plus, they have a menu with icing and topping suggestions, but your creativity is your taste bud's limit. You can watch your donuts get made at the Donut Prep station. First, they dip your donut in icing and then drizzling the toppings on. We picked all vanilla donuts as our base. One of our four donuts was maple icing with a Carmel drizzle; another, a Christmas combo, was chocolate icing with a mint drizzle. We always get a lemon if possible, so we got the lemon icing with shredded coconut, and we still love a cinnamon donut too. We were not disappointed with our choices. We only wish we would have ordered more and tried a chocolate base so we could compare them. read more

There is nothing like fresh Duck Donuts first thing in the morning. We ordered FOUR dozen while we were in town and all 48 were prepared on time at 8AM, each just as fresh as the last over the four boxes. The folks working were extremely friendly and accommodating for this large order. It is a really efficient system having a limited number of orders available at a given time. I can't recommend these donuts enough to folks! read more

For context, we slept through a hurricane in tents last night. read more

All donuts made to order. We went twice while in OBX. Try a custom order of the maple Glaze with Oreo crumbles. AMAZING.

My experience at this Duck Donuts location was incredible! I did not catch the name of the staff but the lady up front was so nice and we talked the entire time kw sites for donuts as if we were old friends catching up lol! Also the guy that made my donuts was nice and made them to perfection. I ordered about a dozen and got about 7 different kinds including French toast, s'mores, PB and Jelly etc. It's off season so many of the locations were closed. I came from a retreat at the Currituck Country Club so I passed about 6 different Duck locations, this was the only one open! Would definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again. read more

Duck Donuts never disappoints and this location has the added bonus of not being super busy relative to some of the others in the Outer Banks. We stopped here just after 10 am and got our order in just a couple of minutes! The donuts are as fresh as can be and fully customizable--you have a choice of many toppings and sauces. You make your selections on a piece of paper, hand it over to the cashier, wait a few minutes, then enjoy your warm, soft, and utterly delicious donuts. You can also get coffee here. If you're up for an adventure, I would highly recommend adding bacon on a maple-glazed donut, together with some chopped peanuts. If you think this sounds gross--just take my word for it and give it a try. This combination really works! There is no indoor seating, so get these to go and enjoy at one of the outdoor picnic tables nearby. read more

Duck Donuts - Bacon and peanut maple-glazed donuts - Donuts Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

Duck Donuts is good, I'm not going to ruthlessly bad-mouth them. I'm sure the business landscape in OBX is very competitive and the fact that Duck Donuts has multiple locations is so great for them. However, I don't really see the hype. At busy times, the line will be out the door in some locations. Their donuts aren't bad, they just aren't amazing. They are a little pricy for the size. The thing that sets them apart is that they are fresh and warm when you get them. In my opinion, they must be eaten immediately after purchasing, because after they cool down, they don't taste very good at all. You can reheat them, they put microwave instructions on the box, but they will never be as good as they are when they are fresh. We always try to get Duck Donuts once on vacation, but if we don't get there shortly after they open we skip it, because we really don't find it worth the wait if the line is too long. read more

I'm a yeast donut lover and I went here thinking of yummy yeasty light donuts. As I'm standing in line I notice ALL I'm seeing are CAKE donuts...awwww maaannnn I'm thinking to myself.

There's no case of donuts to choose from also no running out of your favorite flavors!!!! I get in the car w the hot doh-dohs and holy schmoly these aren't like ANY cake donuts I've ever had! They were light! Not dense at all! Flavors were awesome and I'm wishing we had gotten a dozen extra for the road trip later in the week. Mmmmmm read more

I love duck donuts as a treat once in a while! The best advice I could give is to get here early before it opens. The line was quite long when it opens here at 7 AM. This is the best donut spot in town. I feel confident in saying that statement because when I searched on yelp, there was Duck Donuts and Dunkin, that's it. I had the patriotic assortment dozen, which everyone seemed to enjoy. They sell merchandise here which not every place does. The only complaint I have is that the Duck Donuts app did not work at all. I could not order ahead of time for this location and it wouldn't record my reward points at the store. Nevertheless, the donuts are heavenly and will get again at the Duck Donuts near my home! read more
