    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.

    Ordering system worked well, so there wasn't a long wait for the donuts. If you sign up online you'll get a free donut. Everyone enjoyed their donuts. My favorite was the maple bacon! The donuts were really reasonably priced!

    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

    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.

    A little pricey but always good. My mom got her donut just glazed. I had to get mine with maple icing topped with bacon and a marshmallow drizzle. Delicious! Hot and fresh!

    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!

    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!

    Warm and delicious treat at the beach. Can't go wrong. Great priced coffee. Fast service despite the line.

    Excellent caramel macchiato with extra caramel.

    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.

    Had to make a pilgrimage to Duck Do urs on the Outer Banks of NC! Fun store. Friendly, helpful staff. Fast service. And the donuts! Cake-style with all the toppings you could imagine--they'll do custom combos of what you want isn't on their menu. No bad options here!

    Fresh and WARM right in the box! Strawberry Easter Confetti (Seasonal flavor) and Bacon in the Sun (Maple Bacon "Fan Favorite" flavor)

    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/

    Coffee and tea station.  They have both hot and iced varieties of each.

    See all

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

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