Wake N Bake Donuts

As the name suggests, Wake N Bake Donuts is a great place to start your morning. Not only will you find a wide selection of gourmet donuts, but you can also grab a delicious fritter or other baked good before washing it down with a coffee or tea. Some of the favorite items on the menu include signature donuts like the Butterfinger Bash and the Twisted Turtle, as well as classic varieties and even stuffed donuts!

Wake N Bake Donuts is located at 1401 N. Lake Park Boulevard, #46. Stop by from 6:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. or order your donuts online for curbside pickup from 7 to 11 a.m. You can even opt for delivery!

Britts Donut Shop

Another mouthwatering spot for Carolina Beach dessert is Britts Donut Shop, where they’ve been serving up their classic homemade glazed donuts since 1939. The shop has received praise and accolades from national publications, including USA Today! The menu here is incredibly simple and, in fact, only has one food item: the glazed donut. They’re so good that they can stand completely on their own! You can get a soda, tea, milk, or coffee to go with your treat, though.

Britts Donut Shop is located at 11 Carolina Beach Avenue N. Hours can vary by season. Be sure to bring cash when you visit, as this is a cash-only establishment.

The Fudgeboat

Want something other than a donut? Head to The Fudgeboat for, you guessed it, fudge! All the fudge here is handmade with only the most delicious ingredients, so you know you’re in for a treat (literally!). Go for varieties like peanut butter chocolate, dark chocolate, rocky road, espresso, and more! You can also come in to get some dipped chocolates, gourmet popcorn, glazed nuts, and more. The best part? You can order online once you get home!

The Fudgeboat is located at 107 Carolina Beach Avenue N. In the summer, they’re open daily from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m.
