First time trying Flip Flop’s donuts after moving to E.I. It’s actually my birthday today and hasn’t been going well so far but the lady with the short hair and glasses changed that around with her sweet attitude and then she put an apple fritter in my box of donuts for me for my birthday, for free. It was so nice and unexpected. Now, on to the taste. The cake batter donuts are to die for. I literally got there right before close and they were still fresh, airy and delicious. Just the right amount of sweetness. The apple fritter was the highlight of my day. They have a customer for life 😁

Wow. Their donuts don’t just look good, but you can taste the quality and love put into them. Their donuts are massive so it will actually fill you up for breakfast. Their lemon pie donut is bomb, and I can’t wait to try the other ones later. They were pretty busy for 845 on a Sunday morning, so you know it’s good. Definitely worth a stop!

STOP HERE WHEN YOU COME THROUGH! This place is a hidden gem! We tried four of their donuts and loved them ALL - so good! The cereal donut was soft with a fun fruity crunch, the sprinkle donut was a chocolatey classic, and the buttercream-filled powdered donut was huge and packed with flavor. But the powdered cake donut stole the show! So Incredibly soft and perfectly sweet. Wish we would’ve bought one of everything! They also sell coffee that smelled absolutely delicious. The sweet lady at the front is so kind and sweet. Don’t miss this on your way in or out - you won’t be disappointed!

Flip Flops donut shop is a local favorite in Emerald Isle. They're open daily from 8am to noon (or whenever they sell out). I must admit, I was surprised they opened so late (seems like most donut shops are open no later than 6am). You'll want to get there early because a line forms quickly. We arrived about 20 minutes before the shop opened and there were already ten people in line. The donut shop is a good size with places to sit and eat or you can take your donuts to go. We ordered a wide variety. We had some chocolate with sprinkles, maple covered, cake donuts, bacon with chocolate, creme filled, and apple fritters. By far and away the best donut was the apple fritter. They didn't skimp on the cinnamon and it showed! They're the perfect consistency and are huge! The consistency of the

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!
