Flip Flops Donut Shop - Donut shop in Emerald Isle - 7702 Emerald Dr, USA

Just went to get some donuts with my kids. The owner was super nice. He gave me a very neat and informational tour of the small bakery. He picked out the variety pack for me (per my request). He talked to the kids to make sure they got the ones they wanted. Donuts are excellent. Will be back!

Busy busy busy! This donut shop is so good it's tough to get in! Don't let that deter you however, they get their coffee from a reputable source and their donuts are handmade daily. The employees are helpful and kind and the line moves quickly! The environment is clean and fun to look at while you wait! If you're in a rush don't waste your time and break your heart, but if you need a donut and you've got a few minutes to stand in people watch it's worth every moment and every dollar!

What a great place. The bagels and donuts are all reasonably priced. Everything is made in house and is left on bakers racks so you get a feel of freshness. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and some donuts and let me tell you this, we will be back for more. The bagel brought back some old childhood memories. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The owner has a wonderful sense of humor. I can assure you that what ever you order, you will be more than happy with.

In a hurry first time quick grab and go coffee and donuts? This is NOT the place for you. This is a lovely, local, one man show. The owner is welcoming and fastidious by nature so every customer is his top priority when you are at the front of the line. You should expect to wait patiently. As for the food itself, the coffee was great, and the donuts were very good - not too sweet.

Delicious doughnuts. Open from 8 am until they sell out (or until noon). Quite a line first thing. Website is unclear about available varieties, making it seem like you can get so many ones, but in reality you have to pick from what is made that morning. Also the website says no ordering ahead, but a lady came in just to pick up her order first thing, so not sure. Still yummy!

We enjoyed our donuts so much we went twice during our trip! The donuts are huge and tasty! Lots of fun flavors to choose from. I personally loved the Boston cream and the Cereal donuts and my kids were obsessed with the Coastal Cheerwine donuts (the red ones in the picture). Both times we went the staff were very friendly and very patient with our large family trying to make up our minds on which donuts to get. A nice experience and definitely recommend to all visiting Emerald Isle!

Service matters. Gave it a second chance today and somewhat redeemed. Different, more capable teens and a shorter line today. Donuts were pretty good, a little too sweet but hey, donuts. Same adult was friendly although distracted by what appeared to be business conversations on the side. 3 ⭐ experience. First impression, the day prior. Walked out after 30+ minutes in line. One very slow adult and two lethargic, unhelpful teenage servers. Adult disappears, making each donut to order?! Teens just standing there, doing absolutely nothing, not even taking orders from dozens of customers in line. 1⭐ experience.

Very friendly, expect a wait but the line moves fast & the reward is worth it. Some of the donuts are sweeter than you’d imagine but decadent treats tend to do that once in a while. Spoil yourself and your partners-in-pastry-crime and enjoy their selection of unique creations to the last crumb!
