Carolina Beach visitors who want to satisfy an itchy sweet tooth will fall in love with Wake N Bake Donuts. A perfect stop for an easy, kid-friendly breakfast before heading to the shore, or to pick up a dozen donuts for the folks at the office or beach house, this relatively new donut shop is changing the game for donut fans with a wealth of amazing flavors that can’t be found anywhere else in the Cape Fear region.
Wake N Bake is found just slight off the beaten path, close to the Carolina Beach State Park and US 421 which runs through the slightly inland heart of Carolina Beach. This makes it a nice en route destination to the shore, and newcomers will be glad they made the stop once they see the donut-laden menu that changes on a regular basis. Patrons will have a hard time deciding what to order, but there are some staples that are must-tries, including the “Wake N Bacon” with maple glaze and bacon crumbles, the “Strawberry Cheesecake” with a strawberry glaze and cream cheese filling, and the vanilla-filled Crème Brulee Creeper, which is “Flame Torched Caramelized.” Always decadent and delicious, patrons will want to return again and again to sample all the creative creations at Wake N Bake Donuts.
