Duck Donuts

Duck Donuts is a beloved, NC-born chain specializing in warm, made-to-order cake donuts, offering a customizable, interactive experience. Located in the Charlotte area, this popular spot allows guests to create their own treats by selecting from a variety of coatings, toppings, and drizzles. Donuts are made fresh, ensuring they are served hot. While the process may take a little longer, it is considered worth the wait. The base is a vanilla cake donut—fluffy and not too dense. Popular toppings include maple bacon, chocolate peanut butter, and seasonal options. The shop also offers breakfast sandwiches (including options on donuts), coffee, and donut sundaes with ice cream. Known for its friendly, beach-themed, and welcoming atmosphere, Duck Donuts is a must-visit for a customized, sweet treat in Charlotte.
