Duck Donuts

This national chain, which started on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is well known—and loved—for its customizable doughnuts, made to order. It can be a bit overwhelming to go in there for the first time because the possibilities are literally endless! It’s hard to resist the creativity you can indulge in. You can also choose from popular options like Blueberry Lemonade, Beach Ball, Bacon in the Sun and beyond. Oh, and in case you can’t decide between sweet and savory for breakfast, you can always get a breakfast sandwich, but on a doughnut.
