Britts Donuts

My family has been coming to Carolina Beach for 20+ years - and Brit's is one of the spots we prioritize coming to almost every day we can. The donuts are one of a kind & the staff is amazing. When thinking about what dessert I wanted for my wedding, there was no question & only one right answer - Brit's Donuts. They made 16 & 1/2 dozen donuts FRESH at 8pm all our guests could enjoy them. They were a highlight of our wedding. Thank you Brits. We love you!

I actually live about 20 minutes from Britt’s donuts, but I never seem to get over there lol. It’s been years since I’ve had Britt’s, so we decided to go get some today. There’s always a line to get them but if you go early you don’t have such a long line to wait in. But, they were so good! Shows you that if it’s not broke, don’t fix it! They have been doing the same donuts the same way for decades now, but the minute you take your first bite, you realize why they haven’t changed it lol. It’s crispy but chewy and soft. If you’re not drooling from the pictures yet, you need to look closer lol. How about you just stop drooling and go get one! Seriously stop reading and go!!!!!

I’ll keep this simple and to the point. Getting donuts from Britt’s is literally about the “experience”; more so to say you’ve been there and tried it out. The donuts are “funnel cakes”; minus the powdered sugar. Walm*rt sells fabulous donuts that I prefer over these ANY day. Plan to spend an hour of your life; minimum during this excursion. Remember you have to pay for parking at the beach as well. So if you’re not already there, plan on spending a few extra bucks if you’re just coming to pick up donuts. Cash only at Britt’s. Staff is awesome. The donuts do not meet the hype this place receives. Keep your expectations low when it comes to the taste/ quality. They’re good; but FAR from AMAZING donuts. Eat right away or you can plan on throwing them in the trash.

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 little white bag.

If you like simple glazed donuts, Britts is a must-try. Either take the family and pick up coffee on the way or put a pot on to brew so it’s hot when you get home with a dozen of these fresh warm donuts. They are light, pastry like donuts and they’re awesome. If you arrive right when they open, don’t worry about the line backed down the sidewalk outside the building. They crank out fresh donuts like a machine and the line moves quickly. They are incredibly popular for a reason. They are very reasonably priced but they are CASH ONLY.

i’m going to give it a 5-star for the experience. the donuts aren’t really the best but it was worth a try if you are visiting the Carolina Beach. better to eat them while they are still hot or else you may have to throw them in the garbage.

Donuts on demand and in demand. Simple glazed donuts that are flavorful and warm when you get them. Be wary of long lines but the wait is worth it. They’ve been in business a long time for good reason. Photo has the shortest line I saw there.

Great tradition at Carolina beach. WARM donuts at $1.25 a pop. No specialized toppings or types, just straight glazed.
