Oh how I have craved these donuts recently. Knowing that I wouldn't be getting them until a return visit to the Outer Banks usually made me sad. But lo and behold, they started franchising and expanding their reach for people to enjoy.
If you've never had Duck Donuts, I feel for you. Seriously, they are some of the best donuts you can have. And this is coming from a person who usually steers clear of donuts. These ones seem different to me.
The best way to describe Duck Donuts to you is that it's the Subway of donuts. Yeah, I know that sounds generic, but it is what it is. You go in, order the quantity you want and proceed down the line. You, and your children if you have them, can watch the donuts go through the process of being a simple cake based dough to the rings of delight. Then comes the fun part, toppings. There are a multitude of selections. Last time I was here I told them to surprise me with my dozen and they did not disappoint.
I was a little greedy while I was here as well. On top of my dozen I ordered I got an extra doughnut to go, just so I could eat it on my drive. They gave me a maple bacon one and was I in heaven. That sweet and salty combination on that cakey dough was the closest to perfection that you can get from a doughnut shop.
It made me happy to know that I didn't have to make a day's trip to get these doughnuts again. It is definitely a welcomed addition to the area for me.
