Britt’s Donuts, 11 Boardwalk, Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Their glazed donuts are a must-try. Light and fluffy like a cloud, but not too sweet. They will simply melt in your mouth. You cannot come to Carolina Beach and not stop by Britt’s Donuts. They may not be considered a health food, but if you’re going to break your diet – this is the place!
Kate’s Pancake House, 102 S Lake Park Blvd, Carolina Beach, North Carolina
“Everything you could ask for in a breakfast place near the beach.” Brandon W., Raleigh, NC
They have an awesome selection of pancakes, but that is not all. You will want to come back for their to-die-for Crab Benedict. They have a good selection of Vegan choices as well. The place always looks packed, but don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long for a steamy plate of Southern poached eggs on biscuits and gravy.

“Great service and really good breakfast. We’ll be back to eat at Granny’s.” David R, Pelham, NC

“I didn’t think it possible for any donut to compete with Britt’s. You simply must try them.”
