Duck Donuts

Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because the wait was too long for us to get breakfast at this location. 4 stars instead of any fewer because I love Duck Donuts!

Look the donuts are great, but the organization is subpar. We had to wait outside in the parking lot with cars coming in an out and people almost getting hit, it was over 90 degrees and extremely slow. They need to find a better way to serve clients in a safer environment. Waiting outside in that heat isn’t conducive to older people keeping on a mask and there is no indication of how far people should stand apart in this make shift outdoor parking lot line while not wearing masks. No one from the establishment is communicating with the clients to let them now how the long the wait will be or maybe providing samples or water while making us wait in the blazing sun.

The donuts and customer service cannot be beat. They are my favorite donuts compared to anywhere else I've tried, and the customer service is great. I highly recommend the cinnamon sugar with vanilla icing and the maple or maple bacon donuts. Those two flavors complement the donut's bread very well. We originally had some issues with google giving us accurate information regarding the opening/closed status, however the company reached out to us and provided an over-the-top response for our inconvenience. They also seem to have made corrections to the google info. My only negative comment/suggestion would be to maybe call or check their actual website for opening hours in order to confirm they're open before going.
Duck Donuts are the best!

Love the hot melt in your mouth donuts. Just one more reason I love OBX.

Love Duck Donuts. There's nothing like a freshly made hot donut. Was sad for so long only being able to get Duck Donuts on our yearly vacation to the Outer Banks (we would get them a few times during the week). Was thrilled to know that a Duck Donuts is now in my state- New Jersey. Only opened seasonally but hey that's better than nothing.

My family freaks out over Duck Donuts every time we come to the Outer Banks and it's somewhere we always have to go. They made us wait in a half hour of traffic just for the donuts once. I'm going to be blunt, they're just okay. Fun flavors, sure, but the actual donut just isn't anything special. These are overhyped, I'd be just as happy with a donut from anywhere else.

Absolutely nasty people working there. We waited in line and hour, my little 8 year old girl look up and says "daddy I gotta go real bad". We walked in and I asked if she could use their restroom. The manager came over and confirmed they didn't allow the public to use their restroom. I basically begged them to make and exception for my daughter who was about to have an accident, I even offered to clean the restroom afterwards, she again said no and refused. We took off walking to the truck as fast as possible leaving our place in line, by the time we made it to the next place to look for a bathroom it was too late.

Thanks duck donuts for the wonderful hospitality!! #yousuck

P.S. Right up the road is a place called lighthouse bakery, I strongly encourage everyone to go there instead. Wonderful ppl!

Arrive early or use their app to order pick up so you don't wait in line. The line gets long. Totally worth the wait for fresh made to order donuts. We will make this a staple of our vacation.

If you're here in the summer, order online 2 days ahead. Delicious donuts, we ordered the fan favorites, obx originals and the quacky pack. Perfect for 20 people

Fun to pick your own donut toppings/large coffee at a great price
