Not your chain store donuts for sure. Ducks Donuts is much like a mom and pops operation, they make their donuts fresh on the spot from small batches according to customer demand. They are made plain from yellow cake batter and then you can choose from different glazes and toppings to coat them. You are guaranteed to get your donuts warm to the touch which in my opinion is what adds to the wonderful experience of tasting fresh donuts.
