Daybreak Donuts

Daybreak Donuts is a hugely popular, must-visit destination in Surf City (on Topsail Island, NC), renowned for its commitment to serving hot, made-to-order cake donuts. This family-owned shop provides a fun, customizable experience where you can choose from a vast array of unique glazes and toppings to create your perfect treat, such as the signature Sandy Shore or adventurous combinations like Bacon Bomb (maple glaze and bacon). Because the vanilla cake donuts are dropped in the fryer and hand-dipped only after you order, they are always served fresh, warm, and soft. Located conveniently, it’s the perfect spot to grab a sweet, personalized breakfast or dessert, often alongside its sister business, Sunrise Bagel Co., next door.
