Ahoy Doughnuts - Oak Island

Whether you're a visitor or a local, this place is a gem you shouldn't miss when you're in the area. The cakes are exceptional—hot, fresh, and made with custom toppings before noon. They also offer coffee drinks and are currently revamping their menu to include specialties like lattes. While the donuts are definitely the main attraction here, the ice cream is also served exceptionally well, with two flavors available for those who are lactose intolerant—something I've rarely found at other ice cream shops. Additionally, the staff has consistently been very friendly and polite on every visit, especially the morning crew.

Incredible gourmet and artisan donuts! They offer fantastic cake donuts, both pre-made and made to order, where you can choose your own toppings and drizzles from a variety of amazing combinations. The service is friendly and quick. These indulgent treats are a must-try!

I visited this charming little restaurant early on Friday morning. It was cozy, adorable, and impeccably clean, with warm and friendly service. It took a little while to locate the donuts, but it was definitely worth the wait. The donuts arrived warm and fresh, thick, and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend bringing some water or coffee along, as you'll definitely need a drink to accompany these delicious, artisanal donuts. After tasting these, you'll likely never want to go back to those light, airy sugary puffs from Dunkin’ Donuts again!

I have been an OKI regular since about 1998-1999 when my great aunt uncle bought a place on the island. We come several times a year and just love it! Last week we picked up a dozen of assorted donuts for the family not one single complaint! They were delicious. The coffee was also amazing! The best coffee I had all week! We will be back soon

The presentation of these donuts is nice but we weren’t bowled over by the taste. They’re quite soft and crumbly, which some prefer, but I prefer a more firm donut. They could have been sitting out for a bit, so it is possible they do not always taste this way! The girl who took our order didn’t seem too thrilled and asked what we were going to be buying before we even had time to decide. I really wanted to love this place. Thank you for the response! Looking forward to coming for another visit.
