Britts Donuts — Restaurant in Carolina Beach

Excited about getting my Britt’s Hot doughnut and eating them it at the counter like I have over 50 years. My nephew pay for the dozen donuts. I noticed they weren’t coming right off the sticks like they normally do. The lady got them out of a warmer. My niece nephew, and I each took one bite . Well my nephew took 3 bites. Informed the lady that we want the hot donuts.these were not and not worth eating. I handed the bag back even with the partial eaten donuts back in it. She said you don’t want these and I said no. Which she then dropped them in the trashcan. I waited for her to replace them which she didn’t. I got back in line and ask her if she was going to replace my donuts she said no. Which was shocking to me❗️ So I ordered another dozen donuts. Didn’t realize it was cash only and I didn’t have any cash on me. I went back to the counter where my family was sitting and told them what had happened and said “let’s go “. My 71 year old nephew said will I want my donuts back. Which the lady took the bag out of the trash and handed it to me❗️ The first time in over 50 years, I have been totally disgusted with the service and with the product. at Britt’s Donuts!

If heaven had a snack stand, it would be Britt’s Donuts in Carolina Beach. I don’t know what kind of wizardry is going on behind that counter, but these folks have taken a basic donut and elevated it to something just shy of a religious experience. I bit into that warm, golden, glazed circle of joy and forgot my own name for a full 45 seconds.

Let me be clear: these are not just donuts. These are the Beyoncé of baked goods. One bite and suddenly I was weeping softly and re-evaluating my life choices. Why have I wasted so many years on other, lesser pastries?

Now, fair warning—there’s usually a line, but that’s just the universe’s way of building character. And trust me, the moment that sweet, sticky halo of fried perfection hits your lips, you’ll realize every second was worth it. I would gladly wait in line behind a marching band of tourists and a small herd of sunburned beach dads in flip flops for these things.

Pro tip: don’t just buy one. You’ll take a bite, look down, and it’ll already be gone. Get a dozen. Then tell your friends you only bought six. Protect your stash.

Thank you, Britt’s, for reminding us that in this crazy world, there is still good, there is still magic, and it is fried and glazed and served in a...

Let me explain to you the journey these donuts have taken me on.

I am not a donut lover by any means. They are always just “meh” to me. But my friend T told me these are the best donuts ever. So I came to town in October 2020. They were closed since it’s the off season. Ok got it. I don’t live here (2 hours away), so I didn’t think about off season. I came in another year after that and they weren’t open the day I was here until 4pm, but I’d be gone by that point. FINALLY this time I was able to snag a dozen. And HOLY MOTHER OF GOD these hot amazing donuts are just 🤤 amazing! I bought a dozen and inhaled 4 in the car. So good. I dreamt about these that night. Came back the next day and got a dozen and a half. My four year old ate 3! They are so amazing! Worth the wait for the last 4+ years.

They are a cash only business. Tax included in the price and it moves pretty quickly. The line is long, but that’s cause it’s so dang good. And the donuts are made once you order. Worth it. Worth. It. Prices are good. Just do it. Go get...
