I've never heard of Duck Donuts before until I was with a friend who lives 5 minutes away.... we decided to go probably about a week after its opening on a Saturday late afternoon around 4pm and the line was out the door- literally. The place isn't big at all, and especially due to COVID, a lot of patrons were waiting outside after their order. The place is very simple with a straight shot to the register. For those who aren't familiar with Duck Donuts, the donuts are made FRESH and PLAIN. It comes straight out the oven and is MADE TO ORDER. Whatever you order, the donuts are made in front of you- icing, toppings, etc, so you bet your ass your donuts are "fresh and made to order". The dough to the donut reminds me of an apple cider donut you'd get on a nice fall day- the ones you get at Apple picking while holding your pumpkin spice latte, if you're basic. They're small in size and super light and fluffy. The icing isn't TOO sweet so having a whole donut to yourself will ease you guilt of eating a whole donut. When we were there, they were giving out a free medium sized coffee (pecan flavor, if I remember correctly) with purchase. Not sure if this is still going on, but the coffee smelt delicious. If you're bringing kids, it's fun to have them watch the staff make the donuts behind the glass, and that area is really the only "dirty" area I saw. Somehow with all the toppings all over the counter, the place still looked organized and clean! I recommend coming here to try if you haven't already. The menu is extensive and with the option to make your own flavor, this place gives you plenty of options! read more

This was my first time trying Duck Donuts! I heard rumors they were better than a certain popular brand and I can confirm the rumors are true! Donuts are made fresh to order. I watched them make them from start to finish. Got a mix of 6 of their suggestions. My favorites were the beach ball and cookies & cream but you really can't go wrong with any. Enjoy! read more

Although they offer a wide range of topping combinations including holiday specials, seasonal varieties, and a cheesecake assortment, I stuck with the fan favorites. Peanut Butter Paradise is a clear standout, while the Lemon/Raspberry Sunrise was a clear miss on flavor and had an artificial taste. Otherwise, it's really hard to go wrong. I found that the donuts are fine the next day stored in their box and should be reheated for 10 seconds for optimal enjoyment. Having just opened this past weekend, lines are still long at peak hours and wait times can range from 15-30 minutes. It's a small price to pay considering the donuts are made to order and served pillowy warm dripping with melted glazes and crunchy confessions. Speaking of prices, I knocked a star because of the expense. I'll only visit on occasion at 2$ a pop compared to similar competitors like Sandy Pony, Fractured Prune, and more locally Glaze Donuts. It's also a tough hill to climb the rewards tiers in the app for it to be worthwhile. read more

This is one of the best donut shops I have been to since I joined the Yelp community! Your order literally goes from the fryer to the box and then each donut is masterfully prepped to your request! It took me more time to pick which flavors I wanted than it did for them to fry, decorate, and box my order. The smell of freshly prepared dough hits you from the moment you open your car door in the parking lot. The customer service was also top notch. They gave me great recommendations of top sellers and even suggested some of their favorite custom flavors. For the best experience, I strongly recommend that you eat them hot before driving away. They also have a full menu of coffee (iced, hot, or handcrafted) and milkshake options. I cannot wait to go back for my next round of Duck Donuts! read more

The donuts are amazing they truly put dunkin dounuts to shame, the interior of the place is great and the servers were also very polite as well. The only complaint that I could have about the place is that the donuts are addictive and you will probably want to buy a dozen the second time you go there read more

This place is addictive...even for adults. Everything is made right in front of you and is warm and delicious. You can even create your own!

Maybe our new go to donut shop, donuts are made fresh as you wait. Our neighbors loved them too.

First pretty rude service. No one greets you. Ok. Then I step to the counter to order and smile and say hello, and they just ask what I want to order. Ouch. Off to a bad start. Mean service aside let's talk about the donuts. I came here after googling "best donuts in NJ". I have never heard of Duck Donuts but the photos were really good and the reviews favorable. This is different from most donut shops. They have nothing on display. You look at a plethora of letter sized papers with photos of what they offer. Turns out, they all start with a plain donut that they top according to what you want. There are no flavored donuts or filled donuts. Just plain donuts with toppings added. so no jelly filled or Boston Cream!! I bought a bunch of varying types. So I was so excited and rushed to my car and couldn't wait to try them. They basically are yellow cake donuts that are super warm and soft with no bite, chew, or density at all. They taste like a store bought donut like Entenmann's that you stuck in the microwave too long. The chew of a donut is crucial and this has none! So bummed. I really think this came out of a microwave. Every donut I ordered was hot, it was an off hour, and I was the only one there. No chance they were all fresh out the oven. Each donut came out to $2.10. In my opinion, not worth it. The donuts look nice but that's about it. Good for the 'gram not for the sweet tooth. They just don't offer any texture or real flavor profiles that wow. I really wanted to love it. Back to Glaze Donuts for me. read more

There was only one worker in the morning. I got coffee and the creamers were bad. I needed a new coffee. The donuts were good but the waiting for service and the spoiled creamer sent a negative vibe! read more

Nice place, on arrival, but the station could be cleaner. It was my first time there, lots of flavors to choose from, and the young lady was patient. I was able to reduce the icing and toppings, it seemed too sweet for me & they did it, no problem, made the right choice on that. Toppings are different, & the donuts are the same, cake like . I hear you can watch them make the donuts, but I missed that part, It wasn't a big deal, donuts were warm but messy. The icing melts all over each other, crumbs falling off, I couldn't drive and eat them, so by the time I ate them, it tasted weird cold. Check out the menu many sweet treats to choose from, including frappes and ice cream. I may check them out again for fairness. I would like to experience them freshly made. read more

We have tried Duck Donuts in VA (before I cut out gluten) while on vacation and were so amazed by the taste and personalization. Fresh doughnut to order is like a craziest thing! They have been in Paramus for over a year now and still just as great. My hubby can't get get enough! The doughnuts are their best items. The cake pops fall apart easily (kids tested). The coffee is ok at best. Overall, many toppings to choose (bacon, Oreos, sprinkles, peanuts...) and many different flavored glazed (strawberry, classic, chocolate..) and a pretty light doughnut. read more

Great service and amazing work making them fresh in front of us. Thank you.. Most importantly they taste amazing read more

He rang me up at saud $15 and change I said what happened to $6?, he said that's how many in a 1/2 , my response that's not what I asked you. Ok on to the donuts the mess he had all over hhe dudes if the box and in the box. I asked for another bottom to put over the bottom so my car didn't get spoiled he complied. Ok taste horrible hours later they taste so soggy $15 and change for 6 soggy donuts don't waste your time or $$$ and I love my sweets read more

We love their fresh hot donut! It was fast service! Im glad we live close to it.. it is very various of topping!

Sugar shock. Wow.. just wow..the amount of sugar used. Couldn't taste the flavor of the different variety we got because could only taste SUGAR. I don't understand the hype. Unless maybe it was an off day and the baker dropped the 5 lb sugar bag into the donut batter that morning. read more

I've tried Duck Donuts from PA, and it was absolutely fabulous. For some reason, the Paramus location does not hit home for me. If you're a first timer, I recommend getting a single, plain donut with your order. The donut by itself is delicious- pillowy, warm and dense at the same time. It's a treat to have a plain donut from here because the toppings and glazes don't add much. The toppings and glazes are plentiful, but the menu is overwhelming. There is no central menu- just leaflets to flip through. This can be a pain in the butt if there's a line. Another thing that irked me is that the box had vanilla glaze all over the sides and bottom. I ended up wiping it down with a napkin, but it didn't help much. I hope the employees will be a little more careful when handing the box over while wearing gloves they dipped in. The store is very clean, and there was an employee sanitizing the seating area. I'd recommend it if you want to get creative, but at $12 for a 1/2 dozen, I'd prefer to head over to Glaze in New Milford. read more

These are probably some of the best donuts I've ever had! The donuts were served warm and each bite was soft and moist. My favorite one would have to be the maple bacon as the crisp salty bacon bits paired perfectly with the sweet maple. Definitely would come back for more! read more

This was the donut experience that the saints themselves would descend from the heavens for ! The perfectly balanced fresh warm (CAKE) donut w more ways to top than the mind can comprehend on the first visit. The one thing that the bakery experience was missing how to serve the sweet treat quick,warm& right. The yeast donut would become a ball of dough with this model but the cake donut is Epic. Yes you can not fill a cake donut that's what other bakeries are for this is a specially that will have you coming back for more & frankly dreaming about your next visit if your a cake loving donut person like me. read more

Love duck donuts. Can't believe they finally opened a location in Bergen county. Honestly nothing you order from them will be bad. Some of my favorites are the bacon In the sun, the cookies and cream, and honestly anything with peanut butter on it. Every time I go I always try to get something different. Can't wait to see what seasonal creations they come up with read more

We went there over the weekend but the line was so long that we decided to leave and come back later. And today was the day. I stopped by on the way through Paramus and the store was totally empty at 9:30am, staff was very nice and helpful, espresso was actually pretty good for my expectations which are hard to fulfill. But what was amazing were the donuts. OMG, what an amazing taste. We loved all of them and I must say that it is good we do not have it in town, we would turn into the shape of donuts soon. So yes, I recommend them. And be prepared to fall in love. read more

This place is the place to go for fresh donut flavors. It is truly a treat and patronizing this place too much might need you to up your workout regimen. The choices are numerous, the service is quick to order. You do wait for them to get to your order which depending on the day and the line, the wait could be 10 minutes more or less. Still, like a sundae, patience is a virtue and the donut tastes delicious. read more

So glad that duck donuts came to Paramus. I've been to the Hershey Pa one and I loved the freshness about the donuts. There's not many places like this so it's great to have locally. The workers were quick and worked very nicely, they really seemed to know what they were doing. The donuts were nice and warm and cakey. Loved the different toppings you could choose from. Duck donuts is delicious! read more

I'll be honest I'm not really a fan but this place goes as far as customization to all your donuts. For 20 bucks you can get a dozen a little crazy but to be honest you get what you paid for it honestly seems worth it. While this may not be my place not really fulfilling for me but definitely try here when you get a chance. read more

Stopped at my first duck donuts in Paramus, NJ. We were excited because we heard duck donuts were warm and delicious. The coffee was cold. They only had 2% milk no creme no half/half. The donuts were warm but extremely soggy, they soaked in the oil. Toppings were tasty though. We threw everything out and went to dunkin for a typical hot cup of coffee and a day old donut. read more

Delicious overpriced donuts. It's a fad they say. Well this fad is hella delicious. Hate me for hating but my waist is growing from the deliciousness. A solid addition to the local route 17 fare. The location is not ideal but worth the drive read more

Waited about 25 on line to place the order, another 25 for the order for a dozen donuts. Service is pleasant but not anything special. Went 3 days after they opened and they seemed a little bit overwhelmed. They need to work on wiping down stations so the bottom of the boxes stay clean when you put in your car. Why 5 stars? Simple. The product. Every donut it hand made, all the same base as far as I could tell, but they are excellent. They have some fine tuning to do but the product is exceptional, they do 1 thing, and they do it great. 20 min ride home, donuts still warm and worth every second. read more

I'm obsessed. The donuts are the best I've ever eaten! Really not much else I can say.
