I had never heard of Duck Donuts until my boyfriend mentioned one had come to West Ashley. I didn't know what to expect. It's in the TJ Maxx/Harris Teeter complex so the parking lot is a little congested. When we walked in, the line was almost to the door but it moved quickly. I wasn't ready for what came next...build your own donuts...what?!? Mind blown! You pick a glaze, toppings and drizzle. They offer a good variety of options for each. But for someone like me who can be indecisive, it was a tad overwhelming. Fortunately, they do have a chart by the registers with combination suggestions. Once we ordered, we could watch someone make our order from start to finish...what a unique concept!! The donuts aren't anything like Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts. They are the happy medium between the two with the consistency. They aren't light and airy but they aren't thick and cakey either. I plan to bring my parents and friends here so they can partake in the awesomeness! read more

Sooooooo first of all, I have heard about "duck Donuts " but I always thought it was some fancy place in Atlanta or something! My team started talking about it and they said "Ms Jess you have to try it!" I'm like where is this place?!?! West Ashley! So they ordered donuts online and nominated me to pick them up since I've never been! And watching them make the doughnuts and then make each one by one as you request it, was amazing to watch! I love the atmosphere and was impressed at how the doughnuts tasted! Bacon on a doughnut?!? Who would've thunk!!! I was always a Krispie Kreme type of girl but I will definitely make this my new doughnut spot and bring my son next time! read more

Absolutely LOVE Duck Donuts. They are fresh cake donuts. You can order online or In store, then watch the magic happen from the donut conveyor belt, to the staff making your donuts exactly how you want them in front of your eyes. This place is my all time favorite donut place. #1 hands down, and I've had so many great donuts in so many places. They have a great selection of toppings. I can't rave about these donuts enough. My favorites are the maple bacon, pumpkin icing with strudel, lemon icing strudel, and blueberry pancakes. read more

I was so excited to hear that this place opened up! I'm not a huge donut fan, but I especially like places that make them fresh daily. The donuts here are very good - I also had one of their breakfast sandwiches. Yummy! As I'm writing this review, I'm realizing that I haven't been here in a while - maybe I'll stop by tomorrow morning!! :) read more

Kind of expensive, but can't argue with the quality, nor the assembly line method. Whoever invented this chain is going to be rich(if they aren't already). Lots of options, almost too many, I was at a loss when it was finally my turn to order. I had to pick out 6 for some friends. I could decide on 4 and just asked the cashier to pick her favorite other 2. It wasn't exactly quick, but the place was slammed, so it was a reasonable amount of time before they served me. They made sure that it was the right order and sent me on my way. I had to drive 2 hours with these things in the care, somehow I was able to resist. We sampled them all, and they were all quite tasty. I'm not really a sweets person, but will still highly recommend. read more

First timer at Duck's and overall it was pretty good. They had social distancing set up and for the most part, the guests inside were following the guidelines. My biggest gripe was the ordering process. We're 6ft apart in line and there are some donut options on the wall but then when you get closer or at the counter, there are other menus and seasonal ones. I know you can make your own and these are all suggestions, but as a first timer, I got to the counter and felt like I was holding up the line figuring out what I wanted. Plus there's other coffee drinks etc... on posters around the place. Just give me one central menu that has all the options so I don't miss out on anything. I see in other photos that they have ordering sheets and that would be helpful but nowhere to be found when I was in. We ordered a six pack and some coffees. The cake donuts come fresh off the assembly line and head to the topping station. It's cool to see them make each donut by hand and make you want to eat them that much more. One of the coffee's was screwed up but we were sitting at a table outside so it was a quick fix. All the donuts were pretty good with my favorite being the chocolate and coconut. I would definitely check out a duck donuts again. read more

Hot and fresh! Made to order! Excellent value. Speedy service. Win. Win. Win. I love Duck Donuts!

We've been hearing a lot of hype about Duck Donuts from some friends and since we were in the area we decided to drop in. We've tried other gourmet donut shops in different areas of California and Arizona, but Duck Donuts is different in that the donuts are made to order. So while the donuts are creative (maple bacon, etc) like other gourmet shops, at Duck Donuts they make them right in front of you! This is great for the kids as they're able to watch their delicious treat being made right in front of them. We ordered a dozen (maple bacon, apple streusel, blueberry with lemon drizzle, peanut butter with hot fudge drizzle, s'mores, etc) and had to sample some right on the spot. With them being made to order, they were still warm and basically melt in your mouth....soooo good! If I were to have a complaint, it's that the donuts are too small, but that's probably because they are so good and I just wanted them to be bigger. In the end I guess my waistline will be happy they aren't oversized ;) read more

Nice employees, clean place, good variety. I made a custom donut with chocolate frosting, oreo topping, and sea salt caramel drizzle. I couldn't really taste the sea salt caramel but overall the donut was hot and good. Note these are cake donuts - so if you love Krispy kreme hot now yeast donuts you might feel slightly let down. These are worth a try though! read more

So you think that all donut places are alike and here's another one? No way, this is different. Order them the way you want them with whatever you want on them. Just make sure you get in the right line. They have a few knicks but will handle them. Go there now. Yum yum. Best around. Frank G read more

Excellent donuts! I am a donut lover, I mean a good cakey but not dense, perfectly sweetened with great toppings donut lover! The donut was amazing, I ate it literally 3 hours after being made and it was delicious! They make the donuts when you order, you customize the icing and toppings. All donuts are a vanilla batter. I chose caramel icing and bacon pieces for my topping. Divine!! My girls ordered various combinations and we all loved them!!i can't wait to visit again. Oh and the cashier was very helpful and nice. She explained it and didn't get impatient when we couldn't decide on what flavor to get!! Great experience, amazing donuts! read more

I just ordered from these guys today on line. Never been to a Duck Donuts, but I heard the nurses and techs talking about them during my daily radiation treatment, so I thought I'd treat them to a dozen today. WOW! First of all, the service is wonderful. I came in to pick up my prescription-ordered dozen, but the nice woman at the counter walked me through ordering one for myself. And the young man in charge of putting my dozen together did a bang up job! Great icing/toppings and the doughnuts are delicious. Hope my Charleston friends like these doughnuts, because I'm picking up a dozen and handing them out whenever I visit! read more

I came in to grab a dozen donuts to take to the hubs at work for his last of 3 twelve hour shifts. I had heard all the rage and was excited to check it out myself. When I walked in I was promptly greeted and since I was in a bit of a hurry to make it to the hubs work quickly, I didn't grab the paper and pencil by the door with options on it. I would recommend doing that especially if you're getting a dozen, but also they have combinations that they have put together at the front counter which are helpful. For example, right now they have a handful of fall combinations. I think as far as donuts go, much of it is just preference, but these are really good soft on the inside with a little crisp on the outside. They are very different than say Krispy Kreme that are super soft melt in your mouth. Both are good in different ways. I do find all the options a fun idea at Duck Donuts! read more

Duck Donuts on Sam Rittenburg Boulevard in West Ashley is one of my favorite places to go for donuts in the area as I really enjoy the different flavors and variety that they have available. I like seeing the process of the donuts being made behind the counter and eating them on site. The staff here is very friendly and works hard to make sure that you get exactly what you want. I have been happy every time that I have been here. Worth the visit for good donuts. read more

I went during the Corona Virus days and was very careful to stay to myself. I thought the donuts were good. I got a wide variety in my dozen. The one with Blueberry flavor on it was fantastic. I am not a huge fan of Maple flavor but still got a couple of those and after trying remembered, not a huge fan. The one with the lucky charms which is just a St Pats one was a bad purchase on my part. After St Pats day and the sales person told me it was great. Not! It was pretty stale actually which makes sense. And it was not just the charms but the actual cereal which is what really made it not so good. Overall I was happy that I got the donuts there and their service was very good. I like their system. I will be back and will order differently next time. This was my first time in the Charleston location and hope it does well. read more

The best donuts and so fresh! Yum!!! Plus the staff helps me... I was a first timer. Thankful for the patience.

When I walked in, I was overwhelmed by the many choices. Since the donuts are topped to order, there are only pictures to look at to make your choices. I stuck to flavor combinations I new I liked. These fried cake like donuts are light and just the right amount of sweetness. I ordered a dozen with 6 different flavors. My favorite was the blueberry iced with lemon drizzle. It was also fun to watch the employee top my donuts. Kids would enjoy that as well. These donuts are pricey at $17 a dozen. read more

Favorite donut place. They are always hot and fresh. My favorite is the maple bacon donut.

The coffee was amazing! Best coffee I've had around, but the donuts were absolutely disgusting. It was like biting into a wet sponge. The frosting tasted like it may have been decent, but the donuts felt extremely undercooked on the inside. I got one with jelly on top, and the jelly tasted very good. However, I wouldn't recommend ordering the jelly topped donuts, since they just lay it on top of the hole and it immediately falls through the hole when you pick it up. read more

They have the best Maple Bacon donuts they are to die for. They have great customer service as well. Very friendly and family oriented. Highly recommended read more

Donuts made fresh to order. They are delicious and fun. Staff is always helpful and the store is bright and clean.

Go. To. Duck Donuts. Today. Don't think about why, or what kind of donuts they have how much they cost or what traffic is like. Just. Go. Made fresh when you order, this unique variety of donuts with flavors you wouldn't think go together actually do, and they do very well. The staff are extremely friendly and polite. You can watch them prepare your donuts right there and everything looks great. The part that will take the longest is deciding which ones you'd like! read more

Best donut place anywhere, hands down. There's "that one place" in Mt. P, it's OK at best. Donut Connection in Goose Creek is very good to be sure, and until last weekend was my local favorite. But Duck is where it's at. There's a tiny little donut machine / robot. It ploops out batter into a small fryer and out pop cake donuts. They are definitely cakier than what you get at Krispy Kreme. And they're hot, and the outside is crispy. I enjoy them plain, which is how the bacon/egg/cheese sandwich is served. Yup, on a hot donut. It's amazing. Anyway, they take these fresh hot donuts and then make them to order. There is a menu of a couple dozen "favorites" from which to choose, or just mix-n-match. Either way, one of their staff will make your stuff to order, right in front of you so you can watch. In a quick minute you get your order, hot and fresh. And it is amazing. The staff is cool. They have a handful of good drip coffees on hand, and can make espresso drinks. Usual cooler with bottled stuff, and they have hot teas + simple syrup. Be warned: it's in West Ashley, you'll need to be on your defensive driving game. Big time. read more

There's nothing to hate about freshly made doughnuts to order. It always smells amazing here and you know what ever you order no matter how creative is gonna be good! A plus is that the coffee isn't too bad either! Can sometimes be a little too sweet but nothing that can't be fixed with more coffee. I'm so glad I live close by! read more

Oh. my. gosh. These donuts were amazing. They came out very warm and fresh. They were cake-like donuts, deliciously soft on the inside and the perfect slight crispiness on the outside. The icing was also amazing. This was a delectable treat and some of the best donuts I've had in Charleston! read more

Custom Made ...so finally my hometown decides to get a Duck Donuts after I move away (but I'm going to save my rant about that for later). I went in and instantly was hit by the smell of sugar. **inhales but never exhales** the place was spotless and organized and I was greeted by a friendly woman named Indya. Her customer service was spot on and I enjoyed talking to her about all things manis and pedis. I opted for a bare donut with a vanilla coating , strawberry drizzle, rainbow sprinkles topped with coconut shavings (pass me a bottle of water plzzzzzzz) I think for a $1.50 cents roughly to customize my own donut is not bad at all and makes it fun ..no two donuts are the same so it makes it special. read more

I've been here twice in the last two years. The doughnuts are fine. The customer service was very good. There was a misunderstanding about my order, and though I offered to pay for a new, correct order, they gave me the new one on the house. I really appreciated their generosity, and will consider going back sooner than my average once-a-year visit! read more

Hot, fresh, and delicious! Nothing like getting a donut of your own creation fresh out of the fryer and into your mouth. Really have to go try it to taste the hype! So many different donuts they've chosen and creations you can make yourself, the possibilities are endless and there's something for everyone! Can't wait to go back! read more

Today started off at 6:30am. Made a large cup of coffee and hit the road for some of these donuts before a beach trip. Felt like we drove forever, but that's because we did. Upon walking into the peacefully quiet establishment somewhere about 7:30 I was overwhelmed. It was like I was a child again (this weekend) and was at Toys-R-Us with to many choices and not enough Geoffrey Bucks. Fortunately the wise one behind the counter showed up the picture menu, advised us of prices (individual and per half dozen), and then said "Don't forget to choose a Duckie". THEY SELL RUBBER DUCKIES!! $2!!!! So, basically after inhaling four of the six within 2/3rds of a mile from the shop I am of the firm belief that any donut from this establishment will make you wanna go back and buy another Rubber Duckie. Yeah and I stood at the glass and watched them make my donuts to order. read more

was the only one in there at the time.. ordered donuts then wanted a mocha.. they insisted hot chocolate and mocha was the same and yelled hot chocolate instead of mocha.. received the donuts and it was just a gooey mess.. unfortunately the service today was just plain rude and condescending.

All in all a pleasant experience. Staff was nice, attended to quickly, and enjoyed watching the donuts made to order. Got 6 different custom donuts for 7.25 and each were very good. They do not have a greasy aftertaste. They are smaller than I expected, but really, it's better that way so you can enjoy two without feeling terribly guilty ;) Place was clean, not overly loud with music. read more

Oh my gosh. I'm glad this place is kind of far from me otherwise the temptation would just be dogging me too much. They really lived up to the hype. Much better than Krispy Kreme & Dunkin. Much. Ironically, my visit was right after completing a Crossfit competition just down the street. I saw my opportunity to capitalize on being so close and scooted over to grab a dozen victory donuts for my fellow competitors and bring one home for the kids to split. Since, at the time, it was the holidays, I got a dozen holiday donuts. I was a little overwhelmed by the choices so I'm glad it was made easy for me that way. After ordering, I stepped over to watch my donuts being made! What fun. I had a few pieces of a few different ones and they were all delicious. I can't wait to see how long my resolve holds out before I end up there again. read more
