Britt's Donuts - Forever Sweet
The release of our book Britt's Donuts - Forever Sweet coincided with opening day 2014. We had a HUGE book signing and launch sale. The weather wasn't all that great but people were excited to get the first Britt's donut of the season and a signed copy of the book.
The History
Some things should never change. Eating a hot, delicious, handmade donut at Britt's is an experience that doesn't need any embellishments.
Started by the Britts and Wrights in 1939, the donut shop has long been the cornerstone of Carolina Beach's boardwalk. People drive from all over the state just to eat the steaming hot - glazed delicacies. During the summer, the line to buy donuts snakes out the door and way down the boardwalk. The process of making the donuts is a time honored, tightly guarded secret. It is thought that the unique mix of ingredients for the glaze makes them so unbelievably good. While we can conjecture, the fact is that people who don't even like donuts or sweets will gobble down six Britt's donuts in a heartbeat. They are that good.
