    I have been to this location multiple times, but I have never done a review for it before I just realized! We went around lunch time, and it was crowded, but the workers were friendly and organized getting people in and out of the store. We ordered the s'mores and chocolate covered strawberry and both were amazing and oh so fresh!

    Stopped here on a Sunday morning after church (~10:45). The service was nice and staff were polite, but the napkin boxes were empty and tables were unclean. I had to ask for napkins. Our donuts were so warm that when we got home to eat them less than 10 minutes later the icing melted off (see picture). The ambiance was stiff, everyone could tell the staff were overwhelmed/stressed. On top of this the donuts are very expensive, no one wants to pay $3 for a donut with half effort icing...

    I'm not a big donut person. I'm not one to go out of my way for them, and I really truly think there are better things to get fat on than donuts. Duck Donuts is a little different. They do what I think all the other shops don't, and they have what I think all the other donut shops lack. I really love how their donuts are customizable and made to order. This takes their donuts from boring, stale, unexciting, to something really special. The fresh donuts are warm, delicate, flavorful, melt in your mouth, and texturally delightful. It's really night and day between these and any of the others that they pick off the counter and throw in a box or bag. I also love that you can choose from some tried and true flavor combinations, or if you don't trust them you can configure your own. Overall great experience. I'm still not going to be going out of my way for donuts, but you won't catch me saying no to one of these.

    We came to this donut shop after the other shop we went to was closed. The hours here were great closing at 7 for all of us all day breakfast or donut people. That wasn't just a bonus. The best part of this place; they make donuts TO ORDER. They have an insanely large selection, are affordable, never run out because they serve as ordered, and have delicious coffee. My mind was literally blown; they came out hot and tasty and fresh as could be. I literally exclaimed like four times about how amazing this was. You can watch as they put your donuts together. The next best part is how adorable they are for all of this. 20$ with tip for 6 donuts fresh made and a large coffee. Go here. You will not regret it. The guy at the register wasn't particularly lively but had a flat affect, which is totally fine because he was at least kind as i kept exclaiming with excitement about his store. He also was kind when i swapped one of my donuts. Overall get your butt here asap. The cold brew was tasty, and they had alternative milk which was super tasty! The pictures speak for themselves and the flavors are abundant and will not disappoint.

    Been here a few times. Everything from the donuts, coffee, and espresso has been great. We recently made a stop here because it was my son's birthday. He got two donuts and said they were excellent. I got an iced americano. It was nice and smooth. It is a nice treat and will be back for more!

    I've had better donuts. This was one of the only close donut places to us that we hadn't tried (we've tried Peace Love and Little Donuts already in Northern Michigan). Duck Donuts serves warm vanilla cake donuts and then they're topped with their different variations. I got a maple donut and strawberry but the donuts were so soggy and soft they felt like they fell apart. The maple icing was applied when the donut was still hot so it just melted and soaked into the donut and I could barely taste the maple. Same goes for the strawberry. Not a bad donut place, but I've definitely had better.

    What did I choose to have for breakfast today? That's right, donuts! I decided to try Duck Donuts because I have never been here before but heard they were very good. When I walked in around 9:30 there was only one person in from of me. She had a large order, but the man at the register was working quickly. There was definitely a lot of options to choose from and they all sounded so good, but I decided to only order a half dozen. The Beach Ball flavor was my favorite, although the Cinnamon Bun was a close second. Each donut is served warm, which I thought was an unique touch, and made them taste even better! The employees were quick to take my order and make the donuts. I only waited about 3-5 minutes for them to be made. Once the donut were made, the employee showed them to me to get my approval that they looked correct. Totally satisfied, give this place a try!

    I would probably give this place 3.5 stars, but opted for 4 obviously. Staff was pleasant and helpful. My cousins and I stopped here after a day of shopping at South Hills for some donuts. The bacon was my favorite, which I wasn't expecting! I liked the sugar and peanut donuts as well. The regular glazed, sprinkled, and iced just tasted like reheated donuts from dunkin' to me.

    I was here a few months ago. It was November 1st, 2020. I remember it so clearly, I recall it very vividly. I was starry-eyed, after a socially distant Halloween night. Recounting the shenanigans we had, and the unexpected moments from the late chat. I didn't know why my friends were excited about donuts, but I went ahead when they said "join us." I'm not someone who craves sweets, but I certainly wish I had been more open. You see, their bacon donut was delish! I should have grabbed a dozen! I definitely plan to return soon, but they're closed in this moment. I'll be back by week's end, and I'll try to smell their oven. Donuts ok! I liked their donuts!

    Making the custom donuts

    We went to the South Hills to check out a new restaurant that just opened, and saw on the map that Duck Donuts was nearby. I haven't been near South Hills Village mall in literally 10 years, so my boyfriend and I explored what was around. I have seen so much hype about Duck Donuts on Yelp, so we had to try them. They are located in a fancy strip of stores near Whole Foods. We went in around 3pm and it was completely silent. There were a few people waiting for orders and one girl making their custom donuts. We looked at the menu and waited for someone to take our order. Another girl came out from the back and waited on us. We each ordered a custom donut - so two donuts total. I got one with maple icing and graham cracker crumbs. My boyfriend got one with blueberry icing and oreos. They were cheap - I think it was $4 total. We then waited about 15 minutes for our 2 donuts to be made. They custom made every single donut in the 2 dozen order before making our two quick donuts. It felt silly, especially because we stood there watching while the shop was completely silent. It felt sad in there honestly - not like a donut shop should be. I liked the warm donut and thought the size was perfect. However I think there are better donut options (Thyme Machine/Bitter Ends, Peace, Love & Little Donuts, Valkyrie Donuts, Oakmont Bakery). I would not make a special trip here again.

    Duck Donuts is always super consistent! Love their fresh made to order donuts. They always come out with new assortments seasonally and it's fun to see the creativity. I don't recommend the coffee here. Even the cold brew tastes burnt but it's a fun spot to grab donuts when you're in the area.

    On a scale of romances to documentaries, Duck Donuts is a choose your own adventure novel. Welcome to cake donuts in a million different ways! You choose your toppings, and they make the donuts fresh. This was a delicious experience, and I highly recommend if you're near South Hills Village Mall.

I can't say I've had many donuts from donut shops across my life, but these were the best I've had yet. I got lucky on a Friday morning before Fourth of July and had some luck that they weren't completely sold out. I went in and only wanted a glazed doughnut to see if they were as good as everyone says, but I left with a good variety of donuts, all of which were incredible. Each staff member was incredibly helpful, and helped me pick based on stuff that I like. They could definitely charge a lot more. This place is super cheap.

Showing up this early only for people ahead of you walk out with 3-5 boxes at a time. The hurdles aren't worth it. Now, if someone else brought them to an event and had them available - I would not scoff don't get me wrong, I'd have one (maybe two). I just can't get on board with this place philosophically. The mystique and purposeful scarcity of both selection and what leads to closing quite early is at this point trivial. But it appears the scarcity is the appeal. This is (currently) the NFTs of donuts. We got an assorted dozen and my wife and I were both of the mind "these are all average." Though we were aligned and agreed their Old Fashioned donut is the standout. That one is extremely cravable. Frankly, our experience left so much to be desired that we're content not to go back. I'd recommend not wasting your time either.

Starting in 2008, PLLD has taken Pittsburgh by storm with franchises popping up all over the area but the true start is right here in the Strip District... well two doors down, but who would fault them for moving into the corner spot when it became available. As humble of beginnings, the owner bought a donut machine from a friend's garage that didn't seem to work quite right. Finally working, all that could seem to be produced were this little donuts. Fast forward six months to the owner realizing he installed one component backwards... but the craze of little donuts had already been born! The shop is funkadelic!

The employees greet you with a fresh cinnamon sugar donut to sample - a tradition that started last June on National Donut Day and they just never seemed to stop!
