Since
1939, there is only one place in the Wilmington area to get a truly classic and
exceptional donut, Britt’s Donut Shop. Located on the Carolina Beach boardwalk, you can
literally smell the fresh donuts from blocks away. The closer you get, the more your mouth will water, until
you can’t help but purchase donuts. 
Their
menu is about as simplistic as it can get. They sell glazed donuts, only. However, when you can make every bite seem more magical than
the last, that’s all you need to sell.
Sure, you can get fresh brewed coffee or milk to drink, but most people
tend to take their donuts out. My
preference is to set my chairs up on the beach, take in some early morning sun,
and then get my donuts as soon as they open at 8:30 each morning. Even though they seem to open later
than most donut places, the wait is worth it. And if you get there after 9:30, then trust me there will be
a wait, sometimes 20-30 people deep. 
The donuts are
served in a simple, white paper bag. You can order them individually, by the
half-dozen, or as I prefer, a dozen at a time for only $7. Trust me, you can never eat just one…or two. All of the donuts are fried and turned
by hand once they are golden brown.
Then, they are topped with a house-made glaze that is just sweet enough
to make you drool. The donuts are
always hot, whether you are there are 8:30am or at 11pm. They are light, fluffy, and just so
amazing that they are hard to describe.
Britt’s donuts are
classic, and something this good should never be messed with. This place is historic. Any trip to Carolina Beach is
incomplete without donuts from Britt’s.
Families for generations now have been bringing their kids to Britt’s to
get fabulous donuts. And based on
the lines I saw, many, many families will continue to feed their children
amazing donuts for a long, long time.
