Suck it Krispy Kreme ! These donuts are crispy and flakey on the outside, yet so soft and chewy on the inside, complimented with a perfectly sweet sugar glaze! You will need, AT THE VERY LEAST, 3.

Best donuts you will ever have! On a busy day, be prepared to wait in line for upwards of an hour, but the reward is waiting for you at the end! Plus you can always eat Franks Pizza while you wait!

Jamie Saffo

Best donut shop EVER! For those of you that have never been, you are in for a real treat! They only serve glazed, but I assure you they are the best glazed donuts on the planet!

Paul Burns

This was our first experience eating Britt's. It is an experience. These are some of the best donuts made. A must have if you are in Carolina Beach.

Brian Jones

If the line is long look for an inside seat. Of course that is for eat in customers only. Fantastic donuts , do not go to Carolina Beach and miss out on eating a donut from Britts!

Jim Herrick

So easy to enjoy this place. The only decision to make is how many to get! Eat them fresh and with coffee or milk ! Ideally, near the beach !

Jack Dahl

Best donuts in the world. People come from all over the US to try this hole in the wall establishment on the beach . Fast service even with huge lines .

Katie Haithcock

Most amazing donuts ever. I have one very day that I'm here. Cash only . If you wait and hour and realize you don't have cash, go get some and come back and keep waiting...seriously. Best donut ever.

Jon

Get there early. It's been voted the 2nd best doughnut in the US for a reason. It's also been rumored that the founders of Krispy Kreme spent a summer working here back in the day.

Alison

Love the donuts , crispy on the outside and so pillowy on the inside. Be prepared to wait and it is cash only , but so so good!

Patrick Lawson

Donuts . Bring a friend to talk to while you wait. They’re totally worth it though

Jessica Register

Lines are much longer this year, but the donuts are worth the wait. If you want to dine in, you can walk right in & sit down at the counter to order (which is much quicker).

Samantha Thompson

Sooooo good!!!! Must stop by and have at least 3 donuts . It's definitely worth the wait!

Joanna Perry

If you want Britt's donuts bring cash and your patience! This is a cash only popular joint. If you're stopping by on a holiday weekend be prepared for a seriously long wait !

Amanda Edwards

Best donut you will ever put your hands and mouth on. Fresh, hot, cheap . Delicious!

Joel Brenner

Everything you've heard is true. Worth the drive, worth the wait. Try one and I dare you to tell me it's not the best donut you ever had.

Beth

Long line but fast service ! Definitely worth getting up early to wait for those doors to open.

Mark Alston

Right in the middle of the boardwalk.. long but fast lines . They know what there doing.

Bremmy11

If you have a family of 4, buy a dozen to eat now, and a dozen for later. And don't forget to bring milk .

Andrew Easley

I've heard that Britt's Donut Shop is the 2nd best donut shop in the US. If that's true, then I'd like the taste the top shop. The donuts are nothing short of amazing! I don't even like glazed donuts !

Hannah O

Most amazing donuts that have ever touched my taste buds. Long line but quick once you reach the front. You will probably want three or four.

PureWow

The menu here consists of three items: Glazed doughnuts , coffee and milk . Don’t ask for sprinkles . Read more

Cory W.

First time here since college. Place is just like I left it and the donuts are amazing! Planning a trip to CB? Make Britts a priority Pitt Stop.

Matt Lappin

Hot and fresh! Best donuts around!! Friendly people, expect to wait in line a bit, totally worth it!!!

Moelicious Mamma

Donuts ! Donuts ! Donuts ! And some coffee of course! Breakfast of champions at the beach .

Tyler

These doughnuts are worth the wait but make sure you have cash!

Andrey Menshikov

Only one thing on the menu. It’s a light fluffy donut with a crisp shell.

Wesley Little

These are the best donuts you will ever have.

Pauline Burns

Their super warm donuts and only $8 a dozen

K F

So worth the 30+ minute wait in line . But don't be a line cutter & try and take a seat at the bar :-( wait like the rest of us.

Lee Movic

Important to note that Britt's, like most other boardwalk businesses, is only open seasonally. I assume Apr-Oct(?). Oh sigh...(2/27/13).

Shane

Long long line , very very yummy donuts , made inefficiently just 'cause. People cut in line and sit at the counter--seems shady to me.

Happiness Rugumamu

Expect a line . I got half a dozen..they were yummy hot and tasted just as good a day old. But that's just me

Jamie Field

Simply glazed donuts , but their taste is simply amazing

Emily Jackson

Worth the long line ! Reasonably priced and sooo delicious. ????

Mary Mathews-Halterman

worth the wait in line ...always fresh and great with milk !!

Sabrina Casper

Best hot donuts ever. So much better than Krispy Kreme .

Pauline Burns

Their super warm donuts and only $8 a dozen!

Jacob Motley

Best tip? Buy one more dozen than what you came for.

Julie Joyce

They only have one thing and yes it's worth the wait!

Michael Oberle
