I know some people have made resolutions to eat better.
I have not, because I know myself. I like food. And it's not always healthy.
Duck Donuts is a magical place where you can watch donuts being prepared. I'm usually watching with my mouth pressed up against the glass.
I'm kidding.
I watch, and I keep the drool to myself.
My family tried it for the first time when we were visiting North Carolina and were instantly hooked. Then we found out that there was one opening in Texas.
Now, the thing about Duck Donuts is that it's usually in a small building. There isn't much room to sit, but it's okay with me, since we take ours home. If I cannot wait to eat one, well, I gobble a donut in the car, because when you get them, they are warm, and who doesn't love a warm donut with icing dripping off it?
The menu explains their options, and you can also look at one of these.
There's usually specials as well. For the winter, it's toffee crunch.
Our favorites are the Flip Flop, Beach Ball, and French Toast. My husband likes the lemon frosting with powdered sugar. We always get a dozen. We have NOT tried the donut sundaes yet, but I need to. You can have ice cream AND donuts.
Yes, they do a military discount at the one in Texas. They also did a military discount in North Carolina. So ask at your local Duck Donuts.
For a limited time, you can also get hot chocolate:
After you order, as I mentioned before, you can watch the workers prepare the donuts.
I really want to just stick my face in the vat of frosting, but I always remind myself that I'm a grown adult, and such thoughts aren't appropriate.
After the order is prepared, they'll call your number, you can look the box over to make sure everything looks good, and then you can proceed to stuff your face. Do not suddenly shout "YUM" when the worker shows you the donuts because you WILL startle them. I won't say if I learned this from personal experience. (Sorry about that again, Ben..)
As I mentioned before, the place is small, so there's only one table inside. There are a few outside, so I recommend taking the donuts to go. But if you get lucky and score the one table inside, there is complimentary water out. The Duck Donuts in Texas is super clean with polite workers who tolerate grown women drooling all over the place.
And yes, you can buy merchandise if you want to share you love of Duck Donuts to the world.
Ducks, for example, because duh. Plus hoodies, tumblers, and t-shirts.
So, have you ever eaten at a Duck Donuts before?

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this place but what an awesome idea of making them after you order them. That's a concept that all donut shops need to adopt because who knows how long those donuts have been sitting around after being made. Great post!

ReplyDeleteWow! They really take their donuts seriously, don't they? LOL But as beautifully luscious as they all look, I haven't found a fancy donut yet that beats a good old-fashioned glazed donut still warm from the fryer.
