Duck Donuts

Location: Alpharetta Address: 3005 Old Alabama Road, Alpharetta, GA 30022 Phone: (470) 385-6303 If you haven't been to Duck Donuts yet, here's what makes it special: every single donut is made to order, right in front of you. You pick your coating, topping, and drizzle, and they fry it fresh on the spot. It's honestly a great experience for kids (they're mesmerized watching the donuts roll through the fryer), but the adults are just as hooked. The vanilla cake donuts are warm and light, and combinations like maple bacon or the cinnamon sugar classic are hard to beat. They also do a solid coffee program with Arabica beans and seasonal drink specials. Located in the Old Alabama Square shopping center near Fresh Market, it's an easy stop on an errand run.   What to order: Maple Bacon donut, Cinnamon Sugar classic, or build your own combo. The OBX Breakfast Sandwich is a sleeper hit. Good for: Families with kids, a weekend treat run, or picking up a dozen for the office Parking: Free lot in the Old Alabama Square plaza — plenty of spots
