Donuts were AMAZING. They were super warm and melty & sweet. Wide variety of flavors to choose from. The donuts were the best donuts we've ever had by far, definitely eat them fresh when they're still warm, it was delicious!! Our only complaint was we thought the iced coffee was too sweet and milky so we couldn't really taste the coffee. Would definitely go back when in the Outer Banks for the donuts! read more

Good donuts but a little pricy. Now let me explain what I mean before I get called cheap. Half dozen was less than $10 and the quality/options were amazing/unheard of/oh good night it was amazing! This is a "you get what you pay for" type thing but the donuts are cake style (I love it but not for your Krispy Kream kids). Staff was very friendly and even offered a free donut to my son! It didn't take long for it to be ate along with the ones we bought for him. So donuts were good, and staff was friendly. What else do you need to get your morning moving? Only complaint they don't have one down in Rodanthe...guess I will have to go to Avon in the AM... read more

A OBX favorite and must do! Definitely stop by and try the build your own as well as the fan favorites!

Eat them while they are hot! The donut has a mixed taste of Krispy Kreme and funnel cake. The only downside to this donut chain is that the stores aren't open at night (they close at 3) Will more than likely return for more donuts in the future. read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

We love this place and the donuts are delicious. They are understaffed this year due to COVID which is no fault of theirs. My only comment is that there are two locations. Since we went to both locations, I can compare those experiences. The one. The one in Nags Head is incredibly slow and not the most efficient. Would be helpful if they had a better process to order that way people would be less confused when they arrive. I think part of the issue is that there is a young gentleman trying to coordinate all of it and he seems a bit confused/inexperienced...the other location in Kill Devil Hills was like a well oiled machine. Also not sure why the Nags Head location is open fewer days and hours but guessing that is because of staffing. Overall the donuts are delicious and worth the wait, just a few things they could do to improve the ordering process.... read more

Amazing Donuts! We visited with our 5 kids and didn't really know what to expect. The kids were excited to watch them make the donuts right in front of them. We got a dozen assorted and assumed we could pick what donuts we got. I guess they have a set 12 they put in the dozen assorted, so when I asked for a specific one for my toddler they were confused. They actually ended up giving me an extra one (no charge!) for him, in his own box! He was in Heaven. One bite of these donuts and we were all hooked. Normally we can demolish a dozen very quickly since there is 7 of us. These donuts were so rich and tasty that we couldn't eat more than one each! Heads up, there's very little seating So you may have to end up eating elsewhere. read more

I'm not even a fan of donuts and this was the best donut I've ever tasted. I've craved it multiple times since going! They do have some suggested donut pairings, but I'm really glad I decided to make my own. I put chocolate icing (I think) with Oreo topping and caramel drizzle on top and it was spectacular. It was weeks ago and my mouth is still watering just thinking about it! You could tell the donut itself was freshly made. I definitely suggest eating right away...it melted in my mouth. read more

Duck Donuts - Chocolate with Oreo crumbles and salted caramel - Donuts Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

The donuts are always exceptional. Recently had a very dissatisfactory coffee experience... ordered an iced latte and didn't get it for twenty minutes after my donuts were made. They were very busy, however I told three people they forgot my coffee and they all continued on with other orders instead of making the drink. It's a little upsetting because one of the thrills of duck donuts is eating the donuts while they are still warm, and by the time the coffee fiasco was solved my donuts weren't hot any more. read more

Used to be a regular stop at the annual family trip to Nags Head and one that we looked forward to but it appears that with the massive expansion of the franchise, sadly standards have fallen. There has been a steady decline in quality but more importantly the ability to order has gotten tedious or downright impossible. The website crashes and the app is such that you cannot place an order or both of those two are fine and the e-commerce platform DD uses is woefully inadequate. Literally it is impossible to give them money and business without going there in person and experiencing the dreaded 'summer people' waiting period. I'd be fine with that model, but when you have an online option advertised there is an expectation that it should work. Nothing more frustrating than building an order several times only to have it not transmitted or have an error returned. DD should do online or phone orders right or not do it at all, and I don't think that is unreasonable. At any rate, our relationship has come to an end...we will still have the memories and that's always a positive. Just can't justify $25 for a dozen donuts that have become 'just good' from a franchise that diluted itself by getting too big for its britches. read more

What a fantastic idea for American! Totally custom donuts to make an already totally healthy way to start your day even better for you! No wait...that's wrong. Let's leave that in there so you feel a little bit better about taking a deep fried cake and putting Icing and gummy bears on the thing. Good concept but the batter they use is more of a cake than Krispy cream kinda donut, I can only speculate that this is so the donuts can hold up to all the toppings. So not my favorite kind of donut. They also got my order wrong but I didn't notice till I was down the road. Good to try but I would not go back. read more

Amazing donuts, and I'm not just saying that because my last name is Duckworth. I absolutely love the cinnamon sugar donut and the glazed donut. Yummy yum yum. The service is impeccable. But they do make the donuts while you wait, so set aside 10-15 minutes for your order. It's a must on vacay. read more

As a visitor, I was really impressed with this duck donuts location. The manager/owner was severely understaffed the morning we stopped in and she kept a smile on her face. All five employees she had worked their tails to fill all the orders, with quality, of an at capacity store. I'm sure this location will be even better when they have the 20-25 staff members they're supposed to. We look forward to coming back. read more

All the donuts we tried were delicious! I would highly recommend stopping by while visiting OBX.

It's already been said, awesome donuts. So I will let you know if you think it will be crowded it will be, but they have a great system that gets people in and out. And I will make my recommendation. Peanut butter and bacon. Yes sir. read more

This was on top of our list when visiting Outer Banks!! Stick to the Customer Favorites is my advice. We tried a couple customized ones and they weren't as good as the customer favorites. Place was busy but we got in and out quick. Decently priced and coffee was good too! read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Nags Head, North Carolina

This place is so much more than a donut shop. With delicious gourmet donuts made to order that are so warm and tasty, bright fun colors, and helpful friendly staff, we stopped by twice during our short vacay. My favorite was the French Toast because it was toasty and the perfect blend of maple and powdered sugar to create a delicious French toast sensation for my taste buds. There are also cute souvenirs available for purchase. The coffee is not amazing but the donuts more than make up for that. Also, they were open until 9pm so it served as a perfect desert after dinner. Only caution is the sweetness. I have a sweet tooth and I was more than satisfied, but these joys are definitely sugary and super sweet :) read more

What more is there to say? Fresh duck donuts are amazing! I love being able to come up with new creations. We love coming here on vacation.

Stopped here for breakfast on a rainy day. Let's just say - we'll be back. Everything about the experience was wonderful! The donuts were AMAZING. They were hot and fresh. The gentleman who took our order was very friendly, patient, and helpful with suggestions. Even more, the gentleman who made our donuts accidentally messed up two of the donuts and decided to give us the two extra donuts for FREE! I would definitely recommend this as a great stop for anyone to get donuts. The only drawback to this location is that there is no seating. Otherwise, it's perfect! read more

Came back here twice within 3 days for a dozen both times lol. Donuts tasted great and it was cool to custom make your own donut and actually see it made. So many combinations to create, I expect I'll be back again real soon. read more

Great variety of options & love that they're always fresh! First time here and will definitely be back

Donuts are great. Don't bother with the app. Any times it busy (summer, weekends) it says the server is down and is useless a d frustrating. This is also a business that will not answer phone calls ( just has a message). Thus plan on going in person to order but I'd say it's worth it. read more

I love this place!!! I discovered duck donuts a few years back and now my family and I visit them every year when we are in Nags Head. They have the best donuts around! My favorites are the peanut butter and the maple bacon. They just opened one near where I live so I am super excited to be able to have duck donuts all year round now. read more

Best donuts I have EVER eaten. I was amazed at how quickly they were ready! We ordered half a dozen, five that were on the menu and one custom. If you're a fan of donuts this is a must! read more

Absolutely love Duck Donuts. Everyone at this location is amazing and have always had a quick order time!

Do not leave the area until you've had theses donuts! They're just the best! Warm and made to order with so many topping choices! They have 3 or 4 great coffee choices, juice, and milk. (And of course cute duck T-shirts for sale). Even if it looks busy, the line goes fast and it's so worth the wait! read more

5 donuts out of the dozen were wrong. Didn't notice until I got back home. Kinda a bummer.

Duck donuts can be great or terrible. Had some great donuts once and just awful the other two times. Need to work on consistency of the product. Too much risk for me to want to come back. read more

Best donuts around... search no further Hot..soft and melt in your mouth kinda donut It may just make you smack your momma! read more

We had a had dozen...2 cinnamon, 2 maple with bacon, a vanilla with sprinkles and fudge, and a glazed with Oreo. All was delicious. We ate 2 of the 6 for dessert that night, about 10 hours later, and they tasted just as good. A bit pricey, but for made to order donuts, it was worth it. I will return! read more

Not sure when this site opened but they seem to have some growing pains. Got there just before closing time and one lady, perhaps the manager, was reprimanding all the other staffer in front of the folks in the store. Maybe they were super busy today, with being a holiday, and put in a long day but they just didn't seem to have their act together. Took 15 minutes to get 2 donuts boxed up only after I mentioned that the folks behind me got their order before me. I also ordered a cappuccino, which seems half empty, mostly foam, I guess. They turned a lot of customers away when they closed at 5 so I hope future customers get a better experience than I did. read more

Duck Donuts has a app right now that is not useful at all. It has taken $25.00 of my money. I have tried multiple times to use the app while I am on vacation OBX. I wanted to speak to the manager at the Duck Donuts in Nags Head and she could not be bothered to even turn around and look at me. The app does not expect same day orders and the scanner in the business to use your app does not work. All I was asking for was to speak with a manager to figure out how to have my money refunded. read more

Best donuts in the OBX, hands down. Best service to boot! No better way to start the day. OBX has become a second home to us Marylanders, so I'm glad we found our go-to breakfast spot! read more

Donuts were hot from the fryer and there was a wide variety of toppings, including drizzles. The donuts were very sweet and crisp on the outside, but soft on the inside. Very kid friendly, and had outdoor seating only with an ocean view. read more

The Nags Head store is awesome. The staff from the helpful cashier,Sheila, who helped us make our donut choices to the girl who made our donuts to the kitchen help who made breakfast sandwich on a donut they know ho to treat customers!!!! read more

Our family couldn't wait to get back to OBX to have Duck Donuts again!! Love them so much, we are looking into franchising opportunities in the Midwest (our home)! read more

Duck donuts is a warm, melt in your mouth, hot off the line donut with toppings of your choice. After coming here 4 times, I recommend the powdered sugar. It is like a warm funnel cake donut with mounds of powdered sugar. Can't hold a candle to Long's in Indy especially at $1.45 per donut. However, this place is growing nationally but originated in the outer banks....a must stop if you are here. read more

The line was to the door which is a great sign! I usually enjoy my Duck Donut experience because they're delicious but not today. I watched the girl making my dozen. My order is an easy one, assorted, no preference. I let the decorator pick and I've never been disappointed. That all changed this morning. I've never seen anyone on an assembly line moooove soooo sloooow. The girls on both sides of her were blowing it out of the water! Her assorted ended up being three each of four donuts. I was crestfallen when I saw what she was doing. No creativity at all! It made me regret not making my own choices. When she handed me the box without the top I could see globs of icing all over the outside and puddles of frosting around the donuts with sprinkles and crumbs simply dumped on the donuts in heaps. Frosting got all over my car seat, my clothes and my hands. It was not the experience I wanted. It might be awhile before I go back. read more

This place is amazing!!! We were greeted at the door by Sheila, who was the most friendly and funny person! She explained how the ordering works and made some recommendations. Our order went smoothly. We watched the workers who constantly cleaned whole they worked. We saw the manager step in to help when it got busy AND she took the time to compliment her staff! Excellent quality product, great customer service. I really can't say enough wonderful things!!! The maple bacon donut is great!!!! read more

My family and I went here this morning and I have and allergy to peanuts. One of my family members ordered a peanut frosting so we asked if they could put the peanut donut in a different box. The cashier told the guy making the donuts. We got our donut and the peanut was right next to mine. I asked if they can make mine again they said ok. I saw him making it and he was making everybody's. We said you just needed to make one. Anyway we got ten for the price of one. read more
