To Bee or Not to Bee
Dynasty of Donuts Flying High
Duck Donuts and Rise Biscuits & Donuts in the Triangle
Two doughnut shops in the Triangle offer innovative and eclectic flavors sure to arouse your  curiosity and taste buds. Crowds spill onto the sidewalks as if everyday is Black Friday and doughnuts were price-slashed consumer electronics at Duck Donuts and Rise Biscuits & Donuts. Both have joined the national movement to rescue the doughnut from the "doldrums of mass production" as they've created artisanal gourmet flavors. "Warm Delicious and Made to Order" is Duck Donuts slogan, and they're true to their promise. Duck Donuts are always hot because they only make them to order... as you watch them fry your donuts,  add the Coatings of your choice, (Icing such as; maple, lemon, chocolate, vanilla or sugars such as powdered & cinnamon) and then topping them off with your choice of Toppings. (coconut, chocolate & rainbow sprinkles, pecans or bacon) Duck Donuts started in 2007 when Russell DiGilio was vacationing in the Outer Banks and decided that a doughnut shop would fill a void in the market. DiGilio partnered with Robin Griffith, who was already working in food management, and they opened two shops, one in Duck and the other in Kitty Hawk, NC.
Duck's locations in the Triangle are Wrenn Plaza at 100 Wrenn Drive in Cary and coming very soon at Raleigh's Towne North, 8323 Creedmoor Road.
This family-oriented shop assures you'll love their decadent cake-like donuts with warm icings and more toppings that top it off. There's nothing like a freshly made warm donut or two or three... along with a piping hot good cup of coffee!
Duck Donuts Cary - Wrenn Plaza at 100 Wrenn Dr. Suite 101, Cary, 27511. Ph: (919) 468-8722. Hours: Sun - Tues: 6am - 3pm, Wed - Sat: 6am - 7pm.

Before opening his tiny biscuit and doughnut shop in 2012, chef Tom Ferguson drove cross-country to sample the best of both comfort foods, and came back inspired. His huge, flaky biscuits are served with unusual combinations of local toppings like fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese. His donuts features an assortment of old school (like; plain glazed, chocolate icing, Bavarian cream w chocolate icing filled), and new school specialty donuts with interesting and unusual flavors (such as; apple fritter, oreo, maple bacon bar, creme burlee filled and pumpkin spice latte).

The Beltline Buzz items are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on
The Beltline Buzz.. That's what advertising is for, and it's always labeled as such. Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of
The Beltline Buzz. Plus, we'd never earn your trust that way. So we'll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.
That said, on occasion, we will send out "Dedicated" e-mails on behalf of sponsors. You'll recognize them from the subject line: "The Beltline Buzz Dedicated E-mail." Yes, these are paid for. And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your Beltline Buzz. We look forward to delivering it.
