A neighbor recommended we visit and so while out and about we said lets go today. The store was clean and inviting. The flavor options were mouth-wateringπ₯² watching them get made and decorated was fun. And getting them home to eat was HEAVENLY!! π½βπ©πIf you love donuts made to order then you must visit and try one or do like we did and get a dozen! π
(The time was alittle before 7pm on a Saturday) Main Street is pretty busy with both car and pedestrians. There are a few pay to park spaces on Main St.. After some time we were able to find a park, paid and went into the store (sign said open) we began to look at options and the employee immediately said they were all out of batter so we left. She did not even ask if we would be interested in something else like a drink or at the very least apologize for the inconvenience. I understand this is possible fir restaurants to run out of ingredients but for it to be 2 hours before close on a Saturday this shouldnt be happening. My biggest complaint is there wasnt even a sign up on the door. We would have been able to read it before paying to park. We have a Duck Donuts in Maryland and enjoy them however was disappointed with this specific store (Can not obviously rate them on taste of product) Hope we can eventually go back and have a different experience.
One of the best places to get donuts. You can get anything you want on donuts its amazing.
First time going there. A great experience to get donuts made fresh while you wait. Unfortunately I did not get to try any because I gave them to my grandchildren!
Do not hire for an event unless you want extra stress on your wedding day. From the very beginning, the communication and ordering process had me concerned and I should have trusted my gut to not go through with them. I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get in touch with a manager and then the manager did not communicate well with the local team who was very confused when speaking with me about the order. A week before the wedding I paid and confirmed the date/time of pick up, as well as, what was included in the order. I felt uneasy because they did not have the right info during this call. Long behold the day of the wedding a family member called Duck donuts an hour before pickup to say they are on the way and duck donuts said that they did not have any catering orders for the day. I paid for 9 dozen donuts to be used for our dessert table and here we are an hour before pickup with no donuts. Luckily they cranked out the order to be delivered on time, but the order still was not 100% what I requested. They also had the audacity to comment about wanting a tip because of having to work extra hard to complete the order on time - that is not our fault your company failed to inform the employees of a catering order that was paid for in advance! I also requested white pearls on glazed donuts and they put weird gray/purple pearls on glazed donuts. Negatives: extra stress and unorganized Positive: tasted good. I would not use them for an event again but I would purchase their donuts at the shop to enjoy.
I like simple old fashioned donuts. Crullers and such.This is not that! Cake style only and they push and price for lots of fancy toppings.Four donuts and two coffee for just under $20.
Duck donuts is the best. It is good that this place is not closer to where I live. My brother in law went there for the first time with us and said his donut may be the absolute best food he has ever tasted.
Just an FYI for others who may care: Not a single person in here, staff or guest, wears a mask. Walked in, walked out. I just write this because I check the mask policies before visiting businesses, and this business says that everyone is required to use masks and this is not true. Glad I popped in and didnt take my young, unvaccinated children out of the car just to turn them right back around explaining that we couldnt get treats because its unsafe for them.
Great fresh-made and handcrafted donuts. Pricey for a donut, but inexpensive for a treat. The restaurant is an old diner converted to an open view shop. In my opinion their plain donut is by far the best.
I was in there on Sunday evening at 6:30pm. I am a man of Indian decent and I ordered my donuts and I was number 54. I ordered 3 donuts, and there was a Caucasian couple behind me that order a few more than I had with bacon on their donuts. For some reason the young lady began make their donuts first, even warming their bacon for their donuts. Is there a reason why she served them first and not me? Is my time any less valuable? They received two sets of donuts before I got mine. I donβt understand, made me instantly feel like a second rate citizen even though Iβve born and raised here.
Donuts are so good! Best maple-bacon Ive ever tried :)Also souvenirs are cute, especially the mugs
Amazing donuts, they are all cooked to order right in front of you! Id even rate them equal/better than Crispy Cream. So good!
You really cant hate this place. Yes, it will promote high cholesterol and diabetes which will eventually lead to cardiac arrest. But damn, you will die with a sweet sweet, warm, fresh, happy smile on your face.
Spider Webs and coffee! Cant beat them, especially with good company
Cool experience watching your donuts being made. Im not really a donut person, but I watched them make my sisters.
Great donuts. Weirdly, the donuts are so good its hard for the toppings to really shine.
Duck Donuts is good I bet the area of it like its only a half hour away and they and it seems convenient which I make did ends like the other part of it is that like it was they had a good donuts and the way. They make the donuts was actually better banana Duck Donuts I really want to nail going to the point the location was really good as I said is only half hour away and thats actually pretty good actually and hes like the other part of it is that like it was all like the vignette which I also liked it with Max who made their
The doughnut breakfast sandwitch was amazingly tasty. Just kinda small for the $.
Its a great place to enjoy a fresh donut π© π
Donuts were exceptionally better than any other donut shop Iβve been to. This place needs to be on every corner! Iβd definitely go there again. Oh and the service was phenomenal! I had randomly stopped there early prior to my scheduled pickup (that I did online) and, although I couldnβt get the donuts earlier like Iβd hoped, the workers there were helpful and courteous the whole time! Amazing!
Delicious food, great staff. Friendly and quick
Duck Donuts in downtown Newark, Delaware, in New Castle County, serves the best donuts that I have ever eaten! I enjoy them immensely. All donuts are made to order and fresh once purchased. They have amazing flavors and the donuts are always so consistently warm, soft, and scrumptious. I recommend the Peanut Butter Paradise, French Toast, Cinnamon Sugar, or experience a taste of Sunrise when you explore this outstanding place with the top-notch customer service, clean atmosphere, and TOP 40 music. Duck Donuts is awesome!
It goes very well with coffee and tastes like a breakfast of pancakes and bacon.Service is impeccable and the prices you cant beat.Small inside seating area, outside seating weather permitting.
Mmm tasty fat drops, terrible for diet but aooo good
Phenomenal service and great customer service. They show you the donuts when done cooking to make sure they are to your satisfaction. Very friendly and well trained staff.
Always a friendly staff, great coffee and amazing donut creations.
Great donuts great staff. Enjoyed the experience
Very tasty warm fresh made to order donuts
First time trying ducks and it was so good. definitely like the maple the best. it was a good treat before we head back home to the beach.
Excellent & imaginative combo of flavor doughnuts. Freshly made. I really like the lemon- raspberry. The Hawaiian coconut one is excellent as well.
Im not a donut person, but my daughters love this place!Theyre a bit slow and I couldnt understand the cashier and they just dont seem friendly.But they have a nice selection of different varieties and Im all about supporting mom n pop shops, but they need to make sure to hire quality people who are going to represent their establishment π
Love them donuts. My niece and nephew cant get enough. Every time I visit we must get a dozen. You should introduce bakers dozen
If you want some breakfast pastries, but you really want to impress this is the spot. Crazy selection of donuts to please all. P.S. get a cup of coffee to go with it! Highly recommend.
My kids loved watching their doughnuts being made all the way from batter to icing. Staff was very friendly and kind. Delicious doughnuts.
Its rare that I ever feeled compelled to write a review...My wife placed an order in the store and the it was obvious they were more concerned about filling online orders as a priority over hers. Her order of just 6 donuts was filled after several others who placed them online and picked up while I was waiting in the car for her. It was later admitted that they did not submit her order...there was no willingness on their part to make it right. As Kevin OLeary would say theyre dead to me.
Huge selection. Good donuts.
Always fresh always good ....so many options
Made to order, hot doughnuts. Whats not to love?
I do and do not at times care for donuts! But this store is a game changer. I had my 1st donut last week. Ive went every days since than!!
I walked in with 4 separate order and girl was so sweet, took extra time to mark my separate orders . Love this place .
Great donuts. Pleasant staff. Free parking.
Great donuts, poor 3rd party delivery service.
I was totally surprised when I stopped in here. Their create your own donut idea is fun and delicious. The staff were all very patient when I was fumbling while making my order. The seats give a great view to the busy main Street so there is plenty of people watching to do. All in all one of my new favorites in town.
They are so good. They were really busy and had to wait over 20 min.
Freshly made donuts to order! Can it get better than that? Yes: choose your toppings! Mic drop, Ive got donuts to eat!
Donuts are warm and fresh I highly recommend.
Great spot for donuts and awesome that itβs vegan. They also serve bagels and spreads.Staff is very friendly.
Delicious donuts.
Never had a bad donut here, I always enjoy trying different combinations of donut flavors.
Some of the best and freshest donuts youll have in your life. Workers are very friendly as well.
I got a peanut butter ice cream donut and it was scrumdididlyumptious!! I will be back!
The smell was intoxicating! Couldnβt not stop in. Had a glazed donut- still warm. It was delicious! Lots of varieties to choose from. Definitely will be back when Iβm in the area.
I only give them 4 stars because I wish they would come out with filled donuts, but their donuts taste great.
Best donuts ever. I love the bacon donut with maple the sunrise and keylime. They are all a must have. Freshly made right in front of you. We paid $15.95 for a dozen. Not bad..
I am not generally a fan of cake donuts, and this chain is 100% cake-style donuts. That said, they do a very good job at what they do. The donuts are always hot and fresh, made quickly to your customization and with friendly service to boot. I just wish they had options other than vanilla cake as the donut base.
Great selection of donuts, had the Werewolf which tasted amazing! You can also build your own, which is great for the creative folk and/or people with certain tastes or allergies. Staff were friendly and it had a comfortable atmosphere. Tables could have been a bit cleaner but it didnt bother me, plenty of napkins to wipe them off with.
Best custom made donuts around. They are more of a cake donut, if that matters.
Best donut shop. Love their maple bacon donuts.
Great place to get a donut. Then make it fresh right there and well put on just about any topping that you can think of. People are friendly and everything is reasonably priced. Highly recommend it for something fun for the family or, if you just want a good donut.
Incredible donuts and fantastic service in store but their app and delivery coordination leave a lot to desire.
Im from the West Coast so I find it hard to find a good donut around here. Duck Donuts is awesome. You cant go wrong. They make it right in front of you to your order and it tastes great. Well worth the little bit of an extra price you pay for donut. But dont get addicted!
Warm and delicious donuts. you can choose from their menu or make your own. i prefer to eat them right away while they are warm, otherwise they begin to taste like microwaved donuts.
Loved the donuts! The service is fast And efficient
Great donuts, great people!
We started enjoying these in Duck NC over 8 yrs ago, and talked about them to everyone. Newark location doesnt disappoint, amazing fresh donuts made just for you while you wait. Seriously, no reason to go to any other place for donuts! They cant measure upπ©
First time there Donuts were hot and delicious . My daughter has a very severe peanut allergies when employees were told, they didnt hesitate, they wash their hands put on totally new gloves and I made fresh donuts in a peanut free area in the back. Daughter was so thrilled she could enjoy them too. Very pleased and will return soon
Delicious
They are so warm when you get one. Please try Bacon Maple.....π€©
My absolute favorite donut shop! I wish there was one closer to me like maybe Dover, De or in Middletown! A little pricey but worth it!!
Now, Im not big on donuts but, these are definitely good. Way better than sad, old Dunkin. My nieces absolutely love this place so its a plus in my book.
Donuts are obviously amazing, they always have specials and their breakfast sandwiches on a donut is awesome. Service is impeccable and the prices you cant beat. If you go early morning youll be in and out in no time.
Hands down the best donuts ever!!! Who doesnβt like hot and fresh donuts with your choice of toppings? Writing this review is making me want some now!
