Blueberry cake, strawberry frosted, powdered jelly filled, maple frosted, chocolate frosted cake, Boston creme
Alyssa M.

These donuts were outstanding! I had the blueberry cake, the strawberry frosted, and the Boston creme (the others were my friend's). The blueberry cake was perfectly glazed and had a wonderful blueberry flavor. The yeast donuts were so soft and puffy. The strawberry frosting tasted like real strawberry and the Boston creme was filled the perfect amount. The inside is nice, though there isn't a great place to form a line. There's lots of seating both inside and outside. The service was quick and it's nice that you can see all the donuts while ordering. They also have a donut of the day every day which is a cute idea!

Yikes. Came here since it had the best reviews only to get a raw blueberry donut. The maple one was falling apart and frosting was hard. Disappointment for sure. We also got the special caramel donut of the day and it wasn't too bad. Won't come back here

Donuts galore

This place has an off morning as their staff got slammed right after we ordered. They left off the turkey on my bagel, ran out of cups for hot drinks so they couldn't sell it to my friend and then forgot the cold drink she'd ordered instead. That said, I think this was a one off and the food was still good while staff really tried to remain attentive and helpful amidst the chaos. The everything bagel was good with cream cheese and turkey. I had one of my friend's donut bites and I'm sure the donuts were delicious (whole one). If I'd wanted something sweet I'd have tried the key lime!

Stopped in this morning to get my customer some donuts. The gals are so nice and lots of specialty donuts to choose from. The place is quaint and clean. My customer was so happy seeing all the different kinds. Definitely recommend this place.

Donuts were amazing! Service was very good on a Sunday morning. Also got a bacon egg and cheese bagel and it was perfect! Nice little spot with walkable environment.

To make it quick and simple, Donut inn has the best donuts in town, they delicious, fresh and just a few minutes from the beach! Donut inn is just a few minutes from Wrightsville beach and has a wide selection of donuts to choose from, my favorite so far are the Long Johns (which are huge) and the powdered jelly donut. They are super soft, loading with fillings and are overall some really great donuts. They can get pretty busy, but the line moves pretty quickly. They also have options for coffee, bagels, and some outdoor seating as well. There is limited seating and the inside fills up pretty quickly depending on what time you get there so plan accordingly.

I'm here my first time! Can't wait !

I can't help myself right now these donuts are just delicious and fresh! I walked in and I was in donut heaven! My eyes went straight to the massive doughnuts on the shelves! They fix breakfast sandwiches as well! There is outdoor seating as well as inside. Free wifi available. Pet friendly (smile). I'll be back perhaps next time riding my bike so I can burn some calories lol I just love doughnuts and these are so good!

Maple donut (HUGE)
Lexi G.

It's been a little over a week since we had these donuts and I still cannot stop thinking about the strawberry frosted. It had the lightest, most decadent flavor of strawberry I've ever tasted. The apple fritters were HUGE. Those were a big hit in our group. The maple was delicious (I knew it would be!). Another surprise was the chocolate Bavarian filled donuts - they know how to load a donut. Some places skimp so much in the filling, but not this place! I wished we lived closer so we could get it all the time, but for now it'll have to be a vacation spot!

Hands down the best apple fritters in town, definitely worth a treat. Good sandwich options too, both breakfast and lunch.

Great place to eat. Menu has a good variety of appetizers, breakfast and lunch items to choose from…read morehowever, the descriptions all sound very good so it's difficult to choose. Their burritos are hardy, buffalo chicken sandwich is great as well as the TAB sandwich. We Look forward to going back and trying other entrées. They are dog friendly; you do have to sit in the exterior patio. I would suggest them adding an exterior fans if they continue to not offer umbrellas on their tables.

Tried here twice when they first opened and after the second time, I swore I would never go back…read more This morning, Drift WB was closed and the line was too long at blueberry Grill so we decided to give Brunches a shot again. If I knew then what I know now, I would've just gone hungry. I got the Avocado toast on sourdough. Great in concept but poorly executed. Way too much balsamic vinegar. Also, Pepperidge farm white bread is not sour dough. We also got the Power bowl which had sweet potatoes. however, they were out of sweet potatoes so the other only other option was tots. No home fries or hashbrowns. It looked like they cut up small shriveled frozen turkey sausage into pieces and then fry it around in a pan and added it on top. We also have the eggs Benedict. Could only eat half. Had all the ingredients of an egg Benedict, but it was just mediocre at best. Service, small things like busing the table. If a customer puts their trash at the end of the table take it away with you so it doesn't have to sit in the table the entire time. Cleanliness, if you're a manager or you own this place, take a look around. You have never dusted. It's disgusting to look at things all around you that have coats of dust on them. If you're looking for a place to get plastered on a Sunday morning and you don't care about food, this seems like a great spot for you. If you remotely care about taste of food and quality of food, there's a dozen other places that you could go to.

The calamari was the best I've ever had in my 67 years and I've eaten calamari all over the world…read more The flounder was awesome. White, flakes and moist. My only complaint would be that the oysters were so heavily breaded that I picked it off and order it to taste oysters.

Our…read moreserver, Alyssa, asked about drinks within one minute, and took our order when she returned with them. The food came out very quickly. We had their seafood lunch specials. This restaurant claims to serve Calabash style seafood. I agree. Both shrimp and flounder were breaded lightly, very similar to Beck's or Ella's down the coast. Thankfully, the breading was unlike a heavier and thick cornmeal breading we were served at two places this spring in Carolina Beach. The shrimp and flounder tasted fresh. We rated them as excellent. The slaw had a light dressing, not overly salty, healthy, and not soppy. The fried okra was very good, and the fried yellow squash was awesome. The french fries were pretty good. The green beans tasted as if they were from a can. The few added onions did not make them special. Excellent food for the most part, and excellent service. This is the sort of place we plan to return. We will tell friends about it as well. Also, the Boathouse Restaurant did not charge a fee for using a credit card, as some restaurants now want to do. That is a pet peeve of mine, and I want to acknowledge when restaurants do honest pricing and cover the fee. If they want to give a discount for cash, that's fine.
