Danny Tangredi and his wife Amanda moved from Maryland and opened the Carolina Beach shop in fall 2014 to give the island a year-round doughnut shop; a takeout-only downtown Wilmington shop followed in October 2016, and a third location later opened at Racine Commons.

Open since 2014

Owned by Danny and Amanda Tangredi.
