Duck Donuts – Duck
Duck Donuts
The birthplace of the made-to-order donut brand, founded in the town of Duck in 2007. Donuts are fried to order, and you choose your own glazes and toppings.
Duck Donuts was founded in 2007 in the town of Duck by Russ DiGilio and his family, who were vacationing there. The brand takes its name from the town and now has more than a hundred locations across the US. The shop does not display ready-made donuts. All vanilla cake donuts are fried to order, and you then choose glazes, toppings and drizzles such as maple bacon, cinnamon sugar and vanilla glaze with crushed Oreo. The flagship Duck store is at 1190 Duck Road, and during peak season mornings often bring long lines. About $5–15 per person.
