Thank you Duck Donuts!!!!! We had a local bakery fall through on making a couple gender reveal cupcakes for my daughter and in a panic I called a multitude of people in the area and alas the amazing woman at this shop answered and was so excited to help us out! Had the doughnut ready and sealed up within an hour! My daughter and her husband said that doughnut was amazing as well! We cannot thank you guys enough! read more

Great doughnuts, absolutely terrible service. Waited for a long time for one of the 3 or 4 people working to be bothered to come take our order. All hanging out in the office or the back. Doughnuts were done and sitting there for a couple minutes but no employees to be found. Asked the one sitting in the office and she said they have to cool first but 2 of them had been sitting there since we ordered while the other 4 cooked. Would not recommend for the service side of this..disappointing they can carry the duck doughnut name there. And store was extremely hot while waiting. read more

Made fresh on the spot and piping hot. If you like the fluffy lightness of a dunkin donut this might not be your favorite. These donuts have a very thick and cake-like texture that I was throw off by at first but then came to like. This donut isn't one of those "I have a second stomach" donuts since it's so rich so I would definitely keep some what of an appetite for these! read more

me and my friend went in for the first time one afternoon, the place was completely empty except for 2 employees, so we thought we would be out relatively soon. After we placed our order, we waited nearly 20 minutes for 6 donuts and a refresher which didn't come out until 5 minutes after the donuts did. I would have been understanding if it weren't for the fact the 2 employees didn't stop having a loud conversation the entire we were patently waiting for our simple order. i get having fun at work with your friends, but this was ridiculous. read more

Very delicious! I had high hopes from reading other reviews and Duck Donuts did NOT disappoint. My favorite was the lemon glaze with raspberry jam. Yum!! We went around 3 PM so the service was lacking, but I would chalk that up to us being the only ones in the shop and there was a big necessity for employees to be around. But it was difficult to ask for something once our donuts came out because they could not hear us. The shop was decorated very cute but the tables and chairs had not been cleaned recently and were sticky. The seating was not very comfortable. read more

Good donuts. It was really good especially freshly cooked. The place is a bit small so it makes you feel a bit claustrophobic especially with covid it can be a little too close for comfort. read more

If you've never had duck donuts, I implore you to immediately find the closest one and drive there. If it's a few hours away that's ok- you'll thank me later. These donuts are made fresh after you order and they are life altering. read more

Duck Donuts - Duck Dozen - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Delicious donuts made fresh. My absolute favorite is the maple bacon, I highly recommend it. The s'more one is also delicious - but really you can't go wrong. Eat them right away, while still warm - so good. I also love the reward system on the app and would recommend joining the loyalty program - I've eaten MANY donuts for free because of it, ordering in the app makes things easier. I've never had their coffee so I can only speak to the donuts themselves - but The donuts were enough to make me a loyal customer and come back week after week. read more

Yeast donut fans need to take a second look at this cake donut! It is THE fluffiest cake donut you will ever have - texture something between a choux and genoise. The maple bacon was, of course, lovely but I would actually recommend having their donuts plain or very simple with sugar/powdered sugar/cinamon sugar because the you'll really get to appreciate the cake. Friendliest workers too! Drop by if you're ever in downtown State College :) read more

They took forever to finish our order. Actually, they took forever to even start it. They didn't even greet us or take our order. We had to get their attention and then they had to get another worker to do it (there were only 2 people working). The person who seemed in charge was coughing on the batter as she mixed it and she was on the phone almost the entire time (a personal call) not paying attention whatsoever. Also the floor was nasty, it hadn't been cleaned in a while because I kept accidentally stepping in pieces of donuts. Just all around an awful experience. read more

Made to order donuts?! Yup...and if you've never had 'em, just wait until you have this warm delicious treat. Initially we couldn't decide what to order, the solution? The "Duck Dozen" which gave us a great sampling of the various toppings, glazes, and flavors. Location was clean and the staff was polite and friendly. read more

Duck Donuts - No!...You can't eat them ALL!! - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

The donuts are absolutely delicious. The service is great and fast, and I love the decorating in the building. The location is a little inconvenient but not bad. Overall I love this place! Will be coming back read more

Duck Donuts has been on my list for a looooong time. There's no locations near me. After being in State College for the weekend, we discovered that there's a Duck Donuts there! Upon walking in, you smell the aroma of fresh donuts. They serve the donuts warm with your choice of toppings. The donuts are only slightly more than the other DD donut place (you know which one I'm talkin' about), and the quality is SOOOOO much better. We tried 6 different donuts and the total was $7.95. Not bad! Seriously you have to try these donuts!! read more

I have never tried the donuts but got to snag one from work. I fell in love. I made my husband take me a couple days later. I thought all their flavors ideas were great. We got a dozen of different kinds (came to $15) They were still HOT when we got to eat one. The employees working that day were very very nice. One even asked if the donuts he just hand dipped for us looked okay, I said they loook great!! The location is good if you drove because it's right under the parking garage. There is seating outside. I thought this was a very cute shop with very good donuts. One thing, I can't figure out if their yeast donuts or cake donuts. They almost fall right in the middle! read more

Excellent cold brew with sweet foam. Donuts warm and gooey. If you like sweet gooey treats, this is your place. Don't be afraid to ask for a plain donut. This is how I like them! Plain and hot! read more

Duck Donuts - Cold Brew Coffee - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Very nice and quaint duck donuts. A little off the beaten path, but a perfect location here at Penn St. Both times we have come on a Sunday morning during winter/holiday break and the place is empty. I only assume because college kids are not here. I go out of my way to make it here to Duck Donuts. The place is clean, staff is friendly and accommodating. No complaints on my two trips to this location each a year apart. If you Love Duck Donuts, well you already know, if you haven't given them a try I must say do it. They have bacon on a donut, need i go on ???? read more

Duck Donuts - Coffee Station! - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Located in the heart of PSU college town. Duck Donuts is nestled in a little shopping nook 1 block down from Target. When you enter the shop, you are greeted by friendly staff. Place your order in the following steps: 1) donut - cake 2) pick your glaze 3) pick your topping and 4) pick your drizzle. I had a plain cake with maple glaze, coconut shavings and marshmallow drizzle. My favorite donut shop in PSU State College! read more

Donuts are really good for a cake donut. I personally prefer yeast donuts. The glaze and toppings are great but I wish it wasn't on a cake donut. I have noticed that the donuts don't agree with my stomach. The 1st time I thought it was a coincidence, but I went back yesterday and now have another stomachache. It probably has to do with the sugar more so than the quality of the ingredients, but I don't think I'll be able to come back. ALSO, per another review that I saw about them being expensive? Idk how you could think $1.50 is expensive for a customized donut. Im pretty sure Dunkin Donuts are around the same price and they aren't made fresh to order or custom. read more

Really worm and tasty maple-cake donuts for I'm back in town and needing a donut fix definitely going back here read more

Duck Donuts - I would show you the goods but it didn't last past my craving!!! Just the empty box left - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Yummy! Custom donuts- light, fluffy and warm. Must try if you are a donut fan. Place is cute and clean. And coffee was delicious. Ordered two donuts and had to go get a third. read more

Duck Donuts - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

SO. FREAKING. GOOD! This has to be my top two favorite donuts places of all time because they serve the donuts warms. They glaze them and put the toppings on once you order which results in a sweet, gooey and amazing mess. They are also relatively cheap compared to other "fancy" donut places. I wish their was one of these near me :( read more

Duck Donuts - Blueberry pancake donut and blueberry lemon - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Ok, so I'm giving Duck Donuts a good rating, but I have a love-hate relationship with this place. I have been here twice, and yes, I think they're pretty awesome, and yes, I do recommend them to my friends. HOWEVER. Oh my goodness, they are SO sweet. Like CRAZY, HARD TO EAT, MIGHT BE GOING INTO A DIABETIC COMA sweet. So like maybe only eat one. But definitely eat one. But also don't say I didn't warn you. Warning aside, their model is pretty cool. It's kind of like the Qdoba of donuts? Like, you start with a naked, brand spanking new, freshly made, hot, melt in your mouth fresh donut, and go from there. Then you tell them what glaze you want. Then, what sort of topping. Then what sort of drizzle. The choices...so many choices. Thank goodness they have pictures and a selection sheet to help. If it's your first time, it can be overwhelming. And THEN...after you make your choices, they display your personally designed donuts to you, for your approval. Like you're some kind of donut czar. "Yes, I approve of these donuts, these are good donuts" Just remember, though, I warned you. read more

I love this place! Every time I come to State college I always feel the need to come here. The donuts are warm, and delicious. You can customize them as you please! The donuts are super fluffy and are super yummy! I love the Oreo donut that they have here. read more

Deliciously, freshly, warm, amazingly satisfactory donuts. Donuts are made as you order (think of it as a Made To Go). Great selection of flavors. Ultimate favorite would be the Oreo (both vanilla or chocolate icing). The spring donut is also tasty. Location is always clean, friendly staff and most importantly always ready to help/advise you with the donut selection. read more

Love the donuts. But do not walk in and expect to be enjoying anything for at least 45 minutes. Sorry, but you can't have 2 people running the entire operation. Walkins and online orders at the same time...Brutal process! Great staff! read more

I had visited the Duck Donuts in Arlington, VA over the summer while traveling for business and loved it, so when I heard one was opening in State College in 2018 I was very pleased. They opened on Friday March 2nd, and I had the pleasure of visiting on Sunday (March 4th) of opening weekend. It was FANTASTIC, as expected. We ordered a dozen donuts, each carefully crafted and made to order. The employees were very caring and friendly, really going out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. A tiny drop of fudge landed on a maple donut, and one of the guys behind the counter pointed it out to us and offered to remake it. Not needed, but it impressed us! I didn't catch his name, but he had a lot of vey awesome tattoos on his arms - so props to him. For it being opening weekend with new employees and a brand new store, it was a really great experience. Stop by and grab a fresh, made to order donut and sample the experience for yourself. read more

Went into the store for the first time since ownership changed and it was great. Came in with a large order last minute for Valentine's Day and they were very quick and super helpful. Store is very clean and employees were very kind in helping me get my order. Everyone at my house was very happy and will definitely be back! read more

Delicious! My first time trying a Duck Donut and I am very pleased. No line and fast service which was a plus. I feel bad for the employees because they are apparently micromanaged due to a tall blonde woman standing in corner just watching them. Kind of CREEPY! Give your employees some credit they are doing a great job and do not have to watched like kids in detention! For that reason I am deducting 1 star. read more

Duck Donuts - Delicious, perfect balance of sweet and salty! - Donuts Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Today my husband and I had Duck Donuts for the first time. We heard that they were really good. We went inside and were amazed that you can customize your own donuts! We ordered a maple bacon donut and were given a complimentary second donut free since it was our first time is my guess! :) The donuts were delicious and warm! Definitely worth going to visit again! read more

Awesome, the warm donuts go too crazy. The workers are super nice and the donuts are worth it. Duck Donuts is better than Dunkin Donuts Similar price too. read more

We Just visited this establishment, for the first time this morning. I'm from out of state, but will be here decently often. The gentleman James who made our donuts, was more then amazing. They were closing soon, and obviously slow to things going on in the world right now. He was so nice, and welcoming. If I owned an establishment he would be the individual I would want all my employees to duplicate. We had the key lime, and Oreo donuts. Wow they were outstanding. The only thing better, is how we felt like we were treated by James. We will be back again. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! read more

These donuts are absolutely amazing. Custom made while you wait! They are fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. The toppings stay on and are delicious!! The only downside is no seating. The manager said they can't have tables and chairs because they have no restrooms. They are going to put in counter to stand at. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Yum yum yum! Picked up 1/2 dozen after dinner last night. Much better than paying high price for dessert at Spatz and probably far yummier! read more

My husband and I just dropped our daughter off at a PSU soccer camp and came into town to check out the Art Festival and decided to stop by Duck Donuts. Their donuts are delicious, warm and best of all made to order. I loved the salted caramel. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, they told me Duck Donuts originally started in Duck, North Carolina. These donuts were by far the best donuts I have ever had. read more

Went here and got a "bucket" of 18 donuts. All of the donuts we got were amazing and so fresh. Definitely can't wait to get back to Penn State for more donuts!! read more

Ok I don't understand why is the place so empty the first time I went (maybe it's not prime time?) but their donuts are not only amazing looking but super delicious too. They fried their donuts on site so they actually came out warm (just don't eat them right away so you don't get warm and sticky icing all over your hands). I actually didn't know that Duck Donuts is a chain store since their donuts are so fresh and you can customize your own. People, COME TO THIS PLACE!!!! read more

We came in at 4:50 PM, but weren't allowed to order because they closed at 5. I understand that coming in close to closing can be annoying, but I think turning customers away isn't great for business. read more

Great made to order donuts. We split a peanut butter/bacon, a lemon coated/coconut, and a cinnamon/sugar/raspberry drizzle. All were delicious. Recommend considering ordering online before hand as we are here on a Sunday when the college is in summer break and still a good flow of people going through. read more
