Wake N Bake Donuts - Carolina Beach

Wake N Bake is our favorite donut shop! Their donuts always taste and look amazing! Also, I'm not really sure how they do it but, their gluten free donuts are out of this world! They are so soft, like a cake donut! The staff is always so friendly as well!

The gluten free / vegan donuts were pretty good. I got a chocolate one and an espresso one. It’s discouraging to see businesses link vegan and gluten free together as we gluten free folks (who didn’t choose this life) do usually get less flavor being linked up to vegan. That said, the donuts were pretty good. The latte, it’s a no. Don’t order your coffee here. I still have a 4-star, because they are a donut shop known for donuts.

Love me some vacation donuts. 😆 these are perfect for that getaway splurge. They also have good coffee too. They have a good selection of your basics and more gourmet flavors. They also offer vegan gluten-free options. I can't vouch for them. I just saw them in the case. The shop is smaller and is a little cramped when standing in line to order. So, they have to be patient because people tend to take their time looking at the menu. Boston Cream: Spot on. Custard is not too sweet and pairs well with the chocolate icing. Fritters: Big, chewy, and full of flavor. Cake donut: Soft and sweet. Pros: Good donuts, good selection, good coffee, not far from downtown Cons: Crowded order line
