I have to say I didn't believe all the hype about this place, but I also didn't really expect what I was walking into. I was thinking of a typical Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts scenarios where you walk in, pick your donuts, and go on your merry way. This was way better. The customization options are endless, and I love that you can make a check list (à la Which Wich style) to tell the staff exactly what you want and how you want it. I honestly can't wait to go back. read more

We finally made it to the Duck! Tip: if you want to go on a Saturday morning, expect long lines and no seating. But if you check out the little menu board and fill out an order sheet (sushi style) so you are prepared at the register, it flows along nicely. Tip #2: if sticky, messy, sauced donuts is not your thing, either use a fork, or order the cinnamon. Simple, yet delicious. Otherwise, the combos are endless! Hot donuts right off the line, choose a frosting, a topping, and a drizzle if you like. Our choices? Peanut butter with hot fudge drizzle, blueberry with coconut, and salted caramel drizzle, and maple with peanuts and raspberry drizzle. The last one was the big surprise! Very tasty flavor combination! Go. It's a sweet experience! read more

I mean...there's nothing bad to say about this place, other than at times the wait can be obnoxious. There is something for every taste here! Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry....bacon. Make your own! It's good! read more

100% Recommend. The Maple Bacon and Cinnamon Sugar are my absolute favorites. I usually stop by once a week.

There was a lot of hype about this place. They make cake donuts with toppings made to order. The lines were long, and it was a bit confusing to figure out the combinations at first. Everyone there was very friendly though, so I will return. But, overall the donuts are just okay. read more

Duck donuts is completely different then the two other chains in columbia and I am so happy they opened up here! I will say I drove across town to get to them but I am kind of glad they arent just down the road from me because I would get in so much trouble. The combinations they already have set up to select from were awesome especially the maple bacon donut. Ill be back for sure! read more

Wasn't sure what all the hype was about, but now I know! Some of the best doughnuts I've ever had! The line was a bit long , but moved rather quickly. Tried two of the signature doughnuts and the rest was made to order. The doughnut was soft, light and fluffy. Not like your average cake doughnut. The topping flavors were rich and delicious! Wasn't disappointed. Will definitely be coming back for more. read more

Best. Doughnuts. Ever. And trust me, I was a cop. We love our doughnuts. I've frequented Duck Doughnuts multiple times now. I always order one "plain" doughnut for comparison, and then order an assortment of their other creations. They have NEVER disappointed me I've brought my little girl and my wife. They, too, have loved every doughnut they have had. The plain cake doughnut is exceptional. It comes warm, not too sweet, but flavorful and "melt-in-your-mouth" moist. It doesn't really matter what you add on top - chocolate, vanilla, mint, powdered sugar - all delicious. My personal favorite is their s'mores doughnut - chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallow drizzle. It is to die for. If you haven't been, go. Enjoy. You won't regret it. Two caveats - 1) they can get REALLY busy, so sometimes you have to wait and 2) watch out... their doughnuts are habit forming read more

They make donuts to order and they are delicious! Maple and bacon what more needs to be said!

This is my favorite donut shop! The donuts are make to order and they have a variety of toppings and combinations to choose from. Why get donuts that have been sitting behind a glass case or not, when you can get them hot and fresh? read more

Bizarre idea for a breakfast restaurant. All the donuts are the same (fresh and hot) but there are a gazillion different icing toppings to choose from. I am not a big fan of donuts for breakfast and this offering is not going to change my mind. read more

Duck Donuts - Trendy donut shop - Donuts Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

These donuts are good but intense. It's an interesting concept that you get create your own donut, but I ended up getting up too much stuff on my donut (e.g. Vanilla Oreo with hot fudge) which resulted in a tummy ache. Might be obvious but just go easy on the toppings! The plainer donuts are delicious themselves. read more

This place outta be illegal!?! No other donuts like it and will grab some anytime I am in town

Husband brought home 6 of these. All delicious, and all gone in minutes. Took one star off because their variety pack that you can get includes meat. WTH, its donuts, no need for bacon. You don't have to be hipster to sell a product, really. read more

I JUST LOVE DUCK'S DONUTS. My mom loves the coffee they made, she keeps dancing in circle holding the cup! i like how the shop was design~ the ducks are way cute. Don't forget about how warm and fresh their donuts are- Duck's Donuts sure know how to bring out the best in Donuts! read more

We love duck donuts! We pick our donuts out and always ask for any donuts with peanuts to be placed separately (our child has allergies) they always accommodate this special request. I love that you can watch the process (my children love this part too) the staff is so friendly and I always find myself chatting with them over fav donuts. My personal favorite donut is the blueberry pancake (blueberry with maple drizzle) I also always have the maple bacon. There are so many unique and good combinations but I make sure to always get those two specifically for myself. read more

I normally don't love cake donuts but I have changed my mind! These are served hot and have Krispy Kreme beat in my book. I did reheat one and it was a tiny bit less delicious but not by much. I tried the chocolate frosting with mint drizzle and lemon frosting with raspberry drizzle, but you can truly design any donut you want. Yummy! read more

Amazing donuts. We ordered a half dozen and they were gone in a matter of minutes! You can order custom or from a menu. Reasonable prices and they are cooked fresh when you order. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. read more

Best doughnuts ever. Fresh and warm. I have found our go to doughnut shop. We live their holiday choices.

I'm a regular here because I get donuts for my clients. They request them. The staff is always efficient kind and courteous. The donuts are amazing... Which is why my clients keep asking for them. Each order is made fresh. They will fry your donuts and hand glaze them in front of you. Yes you wait a little, but I never wait long. They are focused on getting your donuts made quickly and perfectly. This location is top Notch and I am thrilled we have one in Columbia. When good things come in town, I love to see the community support it. I hope we continue to support this donut shop gem. read more

The absolute worst customer service I have ever received, and by the store manager at that. My husband and I took our son for doughnuts and it didn't matter to her at all that our child was sitting there witnessing her behavior. We ordered a dozen and a half doughnuts, we waited about 35 minutes IN STORE and watched 3 customers come in, order, and leave with their orders while we waited. Finally I went to the counter to ask if they needed help clarifying our order, and the manager IMMEDIATELY got defensive and went off on me. My husband, who was already irritated because we had watched the manager sit in the back on her cell phone instead of helping the girl who was clearly struggling with our order, stepped in to defend me and she tells us that we can "just get out" and instructs the employee to THROW OUR HALF MADE ORDER AWAY. THE MANAGER OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT TOLD THE EMPLOYEE TO THROW OUR ORDER AWAY! After we had spent 35 minutes waiting on 18 doughnuts for our family!! She clearly was irritated about something already and took it out on people who have been customers since this store opened. We have never been treated this way, nor have we ever had an issue with getting our order in a timely manner. We asked for the owner's information, she refused. If the owner reads this, please pull up your cameras from 2/8/23 around 3-4 pm. Your manager wasted our time and ruined our day. As two hard working people in customer service ourselves, we highly recommend that this be addressed with this "manager." Highly, highly, highly unprofessional. read more

I HAVE NO WORDS. I will never eat another donut from any place else! I stumbled upon this place and grew up going to Duck, NC so I figured I would try it. It is on another level. Soooooo good. Only donut I'll ever eat with a fork and knife. Do yourself a favor and try this place. It will change your life! read more

This location is so cute. It is much bigger inside than what it looks like outside. The young lady who rung us up last week (I can't remember her name) she was so nice and helpful. It's nice to have a donut place other than Dunkin and Krispy Kreme. I love that you can mix it up with the icing and toppings plus the donuts are made fresh in front of you! read more

Amazing donuts, and they're super unique. It's kinda pricey, but the donuts are worth the money

Omg yes! These donuts taste almost like funnel cakes! If you need a quick treat, or a pick me up for a bad day, this is the place! The kids I babysit love getting to watch them make their donuts and that you can personalize them! And it's not bad pricing either, I highly recommend! The maple and bacon donut is the bomb!!! read more

These donuts are insanely good! It was SUPER busy when I went on a Sunday night but it moved ahead at a nice steady pace. The bacon maple was drowning in bacon which was a nice change of pace for most other bacon treats. I was most impressed with the donut itself. Light, sweet and fluffy cake texture not at all like the DD texture I despise. I am a cake donut fan now!!! Or rather a duck donut fan!! read more
