Duck Donuts
5230 N Virginia Dare Trail, Corolla, NC
Crema's Take
“Duck Donuts makes every pastry to order, so you're getting them hot and customized with your choice of coatings, toppings, and drizzles—which means lines are real, but worth it if you order ahead. The Corolla location has bay views and a genuinely local vibe that's a step above the typical chain donut shop, making it a legitimate destination stop rather than just a quick grab on the way through the Outer Banks.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A quick-grab spot, outdoor seating. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

The donut experience of your lifetime. This is a small, quaint, local to Corolla shop that has the best views of the bay! You customize your donut with choice of coating, topping and drizzle. They are cooked to order so you get them literally 15 seconds after being cooked. Soft,…
