I have been wanting to try this place since they opened and I am so glad I did! Everyone was so sweet and offered a sample while we waited on our order. The amount of flavors they have is amazing, everyone from your family will like something from here. The place itself is decorated so cute, I will definitely be returning when I have a sweet tooth next time!! 10/10 Recommend

10/10 Recommend Lil Bitty Donut Co- Southport! Everything my husband and I had was amazing! Not only was everything amazing but the staff were super nice, inviting and worked super hard and quick on a very busy opening day! Definitely will be going back and we recommend you checking them out too!

Very clean and cute atmosphere. First visit and we were pleased. The donuts are made to order, covered in the topping and delicious! Will definitely be back. Perfect size donuts for my toddler too!

Fantastic stop for a sweet tooth fix when in Southport or Oak Island. Many different flavors to satisfy sweet or savory and made to order! Coffee available as well ??

The is one of the best establishments I have ever been to! Everything was so great. Very clean! Cute, quirky and fun! You can order to size to please yourself, and everything was delicious. And talk about service with a smile and competence! Lil Bitty Donut is worth driving to, and you should bring some friends.

Fabulous donuts! I just got a classic box but they have over 20 or more flavors. The women at the counter give me a sample of the creamsicle, it was yummy. I will definitely go back for more!

Just what Southport needed! My kids devour these donuts! The frappes are delicious too! Friendly and inviting as soon as you walk in the door! Check them out! You won?t regret it!

Great helpful staff, they make your order right there on the spot. It was my 1st visit & as soon as I got home I had to try the caramel apple donut & it was to die for, especially hot out the fire. Definitely will be going back & bringing family & friends.

I took my two grandchildren on the way to doctor and first of all what kind of donut shop doesn't open until 11am. And the size and price of the donuts are ridiculous. And when you get half a dozen you have to buy two of each flavor?

This place is amazing!!! Walked in and the man behind the counter was very polite and friendly and told us all about the menu options. Donuts are AMAZING!!! Highly recommend this place. If you?re here on vacation make sure you stop in here! And if you live here make it a at least once a week stop:)

Awesome with every bite. You first walk in the this cozy shop and you?re greeted with smiling faces. You place your customized order and you receive a box of goodness. This place is awesome. Small, local family owned business. Too bad you can only leave 5 stars?I would have liked to leave 10!

We ordered a party tray our team meeting...Needless to say they were a HIT! We have been in several times and each time we have had nothing short of great experiences! Great staff and very welcoming environment! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
