Super donuts and great bagel sandwiches near duke.
*both Rise and Monuts have great donuts. Rise has biscuits and some of their donuts are filled donuts. The flavors are a little on the sweeter, less complicated side. Monuts has bagels and generally no filled donuts. Their flavor combos are a little more sophisticated.
