After my experience at multiple Donut shops across the U.S I would rate Northern Lights Bakery one…read moreof the lesser experiences. To get straight to the point, the donuts are dense and not worth the wait/price. The worker was manning the cashier and putting donuts in boxes although she did have gloves, the gloves didn't seem to be getting changed. Not sure if some people down south have taste but the line to this place was long. There were flies everywhere. Although the staff were nice, they are understaffed and not clean. This place is another beach vacation money grab to travelers. Update: Found a baked in hair in one of the glazed donuts. Never Again DO NOT waste your $.

Y'ALL. I can't even put into words how much I LOVE this place…read more Tucked away here in Duck, NC on the beautiful Outer Banks, this little bakery is truly a hidden gem. Honestly, part of me wanted to keep it a secret... but it's way too good not to share! The cupcakes? Moist, soft, perfectly sweet, and topped with just the right amount of frosting + garnish. Absolute perfection. The cheesecake? Listen... it's "slap-your-mama" good. I'm talking about that close-your-eyes kind of bite that takes you straight back to a childhood memory. Pure magic. The red velvet? Heavenly. Moist, rich, and decadent enough to transport you to another time and place. I honestly believe food has the power to bring back memories -- and this bakery proves it. Every bite is a little trip down memory lane, and I promise, you'll feel it too. If you're visiting OBX or anywhere nearby... RUN, don't walk. ‍ Support local. Support passion.

This was hands down some of the best food we had during our vacation in North Carolina. After…read morereading the reviews, we stopped in for lunch with our family--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered a variety of sandwiches, and every single one was excellent. The standouts were the schnitzel sandwich and the Cuban--both were incredibly fresh, perfectly hot, and packed with flavor. We also grabbed a few baked sweets to enjoy later in the afternoon, which turned out to be the perfect treat after a day out. What truly elevated the experience was the owner--so warm, welcoming, and full of great recommendations. You can tell there's real care behind both the food and the experience here.

We don't need a huge lunch so ordered a Chicken Schnitzel which is served on a challah bun. We ordered it plain since we took it home and cut it in half and add condiments to our individual taste. This was very good and half was all either of us needed. The menu of hot sandwiches is very tempting. There are at least 15 offerings from various versions of the chicken schnitzel to ham and cheese to Cubans to jerk and Cajun. They also offer burger varieties as well as build your own. There are plenty of no-charge condiments plus some like fried egg, bacon, grilled onions or peppers, etc for a charge. Our sandwich was made fresh for us and was still nicely hot when we got home to enjoy it. The two of us had a very good sandwich at a great price. And don't forget to check out the assortment of freshly baked donuts and sweet pastries. They are very tempting.

I am so disappointed in the cupcakes that were done for my wedding…read more My friend was going to make the cup cakes and decorate them, however her father passed away and she was unable to do. We had to rush to find a place to make cupcakes and we found icings on the cake. It was two weeks prior to my wedding and I was worried I wouldn't find a place. I was so thrilled that icings on the cake said they could do the 4 dozen cupcakes and when asked if they could do sunflowers I was told yes. Especially seeing the cupcakes on the website icingsonthecakes.com (picture 3). What I got was so dissapointing. (Picture 1) which looks does not look like a professional did Thankfully I had friends who went out and fixed (picture 2). After spending over $200 dollars on cupcakes they should not have been fixed. I emailed the owner and did not receive a response back in 24 hours.

It really was a pretty cake I wish I took better pictures to share.

The BEST desserts, no matter what treat you seek! Cookies, cakes, pies, muffins, bars, parfaits, and much more. Don't forget to look in the fridge sections! Not to worry, the cakes and pies come in single-serve slices. ;-) My all-time faves are the 3-layer Carrot Cake, Oreo Cake, Cranberry or Chocolate muffins...and of course the famous 12-layer cake that has the most perfect chocolate ganache throughout and all over the outside. Grab a 1/2 cake for your next potluck or gathering. OR, you can order ahead of time. Catering menus are at the register. Check out these ginormous babies I ordered for a backyard Southern Charm themed picnic a few weeks ago (trunk photo). I had no idea they would be so huge!. The cake boxes hold HUGE Pig-Pickin' cakes, which were DIVINE! (Fun fact: Pig-Pickin' cake is so named because it's the perfect cake to eat at a BBQ. Get it? Pig-Pickin' ). It's made of orange/pineapple/yellow cake/whipped fluffy deliciousness you will never forget. And those Key Lime Pies were the best I've ever had anywhere. I ordered Large pies, not knowing they'd be the largest I'd ever seen. We had about 40 people, so I had one full Key Lime AND a full Pig-Pickin left over that I had to give away. I just ordered WAY too much. Sad/not sad face. Most of our party guests were from Miami and island/South American countries, and even they raved about how best-in-class both desserts were. NOTE: Closed Sundays, so plan ahead! And always will be, in honor of late owner Kevin's final wish. :-)
