Wake N Bake Donuts - Carolina Beach

Superior donuts and tasty coffee served at this laidback local shop. Service was friendly and fast. Make sure to get there early since they sell out of the popular options before 10 am.

The donuts were some of the best I've ever had!
Flavors of all kinds like turtle, fruit loops, s'mores, key lime, wake n bacon, etc. There's something for everyone to pick and enjoy with anything from singles to dozen boxes with coffee to pair it with this is a must stop on your trip to Wilmington!

Reasonable priced delightful:
A foodie who couldn’t put it down faster from coffee espresso and all the baked delights . I personally tried 5 different kinds and was left full and ready to buy more come early they sell out quick but so delicious perfectly cooked and balanced in flavor and texture.

Great selection of donuts. The Oreo cheesecake is amazing! It's hard to choose a favorite! Buy a dozen to try an assortment. We also ordered the pop tart donut. It was huge! It was a donut stuffed with a poptart, topped with maple glaze and bacon. It was tasty! You can't go wrong with whatever you order!

I really enjoyed my visit. I met and learned a lot about the owner. I ordered the pumpkin pie stuffed Donut. It sounded great, and looked so filling, but I have my doubts because I am very picky when it comes to texture and softness of the bread items. I got back to my hotel, got a plate and utensils, and started cutting it. The Donut felt harder that I expected, and as the knife was cutting through, I got the feeling that the Donut is going to be dry. Boy, so thankful that I was so wrong! It's actually very good. I was going to just eat half, but ended up eating all but a few bites. It turned out to be a meal, my lunch. I'm so stuffed. The icy was delicious. I think it's cinnamon that I tasted. The pumpkin pie has the perfect consistency and sweetness, not too sweet. I really enjoyed it! Very happy that I found this Donut shop on Google and decided to give it a try.

We went at a slow time of day and we're the only customers, but the inside of the shop is quite cool! The donuts were really great. Our favorite was the pop-tart, but we enjoyed them all. Definitely plan to return!

Consistent and scrumptious. First visit today in 5 years because we moved away. So glad to find they're still in business and still had my faves plus lots of new yummy things! Best donuts on the beach!

It was sooo nice I went twice!
I immediately fell in love with Wake N Bake Donuts. Legit Heaven on Earth Phenomenal Donuts. And you better believe I got one of those mugs and a hat tooo

Great team, great service, great donuts! We will definitely be back to enjoy these donuts the next time that we are in town! Happy, positive energy and awesome donuts and cappuccinos!

Best tasting donuts around. Was never a fan of Dunkin (I grew up on Shipley's in Texas) so it was nice to find donuts made with a little more care and creativity than the major chains.Try the Cinnamon Roll or the Pebble Rock 🤙

Super friendly staff with unique and delicious donuts and coffee drinks. There was a donut variety for every taste preference. Loved the vibe and will definitely come back when we are visiting the beach.

I like that it’s local and cozy and that they have their own creations and are constantly creating new varieties. I got an apple fritter, which was huge and only $2.99. It was absolutely delicious. I also got a couple glazed donuts, a couple cinnamon and a chocolate cream filled. Everything was great, but they did seem to get hard/stale pretty quickly. As long as you eat them shortly after purchase, it should be fine. Very good donuts and I would recommend them, but no better than Krispy Kreme, which are also fantastic.

The perfect treat! The man who served us made things easy for my first visit inside. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t want a donut topped with potato chips or one smothered in bacon? OR one covered in cereal?! You have to check this place out! 🍩

We ate here every morning while on vacation. The donuts are about the best I've ever had and there is a wide variety to choose from. The people working there were awesome. I wish I'd have had more time to try more donuts. The coffee is really good to.

Always great. Staff is super friendly and the espresso drinks are worth the wait. Love the Carolina Sand latte and about the donuts... delicious! Great combinations and they have the classics too. Can't go wrong! They travel well :)

5 for gluten free doughnuts! Best doughnut I've had since I had to break up with Krispy Kreme years ago. Thank you for making such treats for us!
Regular doughnuts were a hit too- and they are BIG!

Fantastic variety and many interesting and delicious selections. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The prices are serious, but the donuts are seriously delicious. It was also great to find real gluten-friendly options at a donut shop.

I swear you can smell the donuts in the parking lot 😂 this place was magical. I will definitely come back when I’m in town.

Wake N Bake is delicious! We tried the pumpkin pie stuffed donut…amazing!! Also loved the couch potato with chips on it. The staff was really kind too. Wish we lived in the area, we wanted to try one of each!

Wow. I mean wow. I don't understand how this isn't the first shop that pops up when you Google donuts in California beach!? So many unique and fun options and each one better than the next. We tried a dozen very elaborate and delicious donuts between the whole group and there was not a bad word to be said about any one of them! The coffee while good is not their highlight. It is Dunkin donut quality with starbucks prices. So give or take the coffee. The donuts are about $2 a piece, but well worth it. I highly recommend the pop tart stuffed donut, but don't try to eat the whole thing on your own!
