Duck Donuts Gaithersburg

I stopped here for a quick mid morning pick me up and ordered two donuts and a cup of coffee. These are not your typical chain, bakery or grocery fresh made donuts. These donuts are made to order and I would describe them as handcrafted or artisanal delicasies. The donuts come out hot out of the fryer and are immediately crafted to your choice. They are very moist, almost to the point of being "wet" and using a fork for immediate consumption is probably not a bad idea. I waited till they cooled off so they were a bit firmer when I ate them. The donuts had good flavor (high quality ingredients are used) and a tremendous amount of visual appeal. The donuts are medium sized about the same diameter of a Krispy Kreme donut. The house blend coffee was a medium roast with low acidity and a fairly smooth flavor. Coffee stayed fairly warm in the cup for a while, but I've had coffee from other places that stayed hotter for a longer period of time. The store is located in a strip center and it was immaculate inside and out. The parking can be difficult at times as there is variety of businesses located in the center including an Einstein Bros. and Starbucks (located in the center of the parking lot) which can snarl the flow by itself, but on this particular trip the lot was fairly empty. The staff was clean, polite and appeared to be well groomed and they offered good service as my order was completed within 5 minutes despite being behind another customer. Pricing may come as a shock for many, even for those who frequent bakeries and I'm deducting 1 star based solely on the cost/value analysis as there are other donut shops in the area that also handcraft donuts that are slightly larger and/or cost less. As noted by other reviewers, I have driven by this place during posted hours and they seem to have a very fluid opening time. If your looking to treat someone or yourself or want a one-off donut experience it's worth checking out.

Very well made 🍩!! Its not too sweet ! But it tastes so good! The servers also are nice ladies and patient. It was my first time and i like here better than Dunkin donuts, because they really make these ones in front of you. Its not already ready
