    Cronut Sampler Box
    Amanda H.

    We preordered a cronut sampler box after missing out a few times (I'm so bad with remembering preorder dates)! This weeks flavors were banana cream, ube, peach brulee, and key lime. Ordering online was a breeze and I checked before we left on where I was going so I knew what to look for! The gentleman working the counter was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was tempted to get another few doughnuts to try their "regular" ones but I controlled my urges and stuck with the cronuts. I'll definitely be back to check out the selection. The cronuts are exactly what I hoped for - insanely flakey, tons of filling, perfectly crispy but soft in the center. All of the flavors were well described and they portions are pretty sizeable! I'll definitely be back to try a few more things (especially since I know what to expect now)!

    I love coming here in the mornings and so excited for them to start stocking local coffees! The donuts are amazing, but they sell out quickly on weekends, so go early! The staff is amazingly kind and always happy to tell you about everything they offer! I need to come back for the bread.

    We have wanted to come by and try the donuts here for a while. You definitely want to come early as they sell out quickly and many people pre order especially on weekends and holiday weekends. The owner was very patient and even gave the kids the opportunity to personalize their donuts by adding different icings and sprinkles. I personally felt like everything was very sweet but the rest of my family thought they were delicious- especially the cinnamon sugar cronut.

    When I asked on Facebook about where to get a king cake locally the overwhelming response was Donut Connection! So glad I followed the recommendation, absolutely delicious!

    Freshly glazed maple donut and apple cider donut
    Chrissy F.

    The original donut connection will say "permanently closed" on Apple Maps due to the unit being a different restaurant but you'll find that the donuts are located inside the Philly Cheesesteak restaurant of the same plaza at the corner unit. I was in the mood for mochi donuts or cronuts but the cronuts already sold out for the day and there's a backorder on the ingredients to make the mochi donut. Nevertheless, I wasn't going to leave empty handed so chose the apple cider donut, lemon filled, and was hoping for a maple donut to which the gentlemen freshly glazed some!! They have a selection of donuts that are ready to be frosted and sprinkled so next time I'll speak up to see what else they can glaze bc I didn't want to hold up the line any longer. Very popular donut shop with a fast moving line. The gentlemen was the only one working so kudos for keeping the line going while filling orders and processing payments! The donut itself was fluffy, my boyfriend loved his maple glazed one but to me the glaze had a waxy texture. I loved my apple cider donut, great with the sugared edges and paired great with a cup of coffee at home.

    I'd wanted to try this place for a long time but it's a bit of a drive from my place. Since I had to be in the area, perfect time to order. Definitely order ahead of time! They are super busy and favorites go fast. First, the sign on the outside says Philly Cheesesteak so maybe that is what was previously in location. Easy to get in and out of parking lot. My first thought entering the shop was holy cow they need to clean the entrance. They have so much equipment and supplies crammed into their shop. They honestly could concentrate on a few flavors and not try to be all things to all people. Compared to other shops, their prices are reasonable. I preordered Strawberry & cream croissant, cinnamon roll and lemon filled paczki. The flavors were everything people have raved about. My favorite was the croissant...not too sweet, pastry was flaky with the perfect amount of crunch. Strawberries were fresh and the cream was delicious. I devoured before I even got out of the parking lot. Definitely worth making the trip.

    Closed down?

    I don't know about the review 22 days ago, but the website is invalid and the place is completely empty even though yelp says it should be open Sunday April 13. There is barely anything in the store and emergency lights are on.

    Apple Fritter
    Kandace S.

    Very much a hole in the wall donut shop! My fiancée was excited to see pork roll was on the menu so we had to give it a try (she's from New Jersey). I was very excited to taste the amazing donuts I see all over the Facebook page! The service was great. The pork roll would have been better if it was on a bagel instead of the sourdough. The person who took our order informed us he was running a little behind today and apologized. Sourdough was all they had at the moment. I think for the pork roll, egg & cheese with ketchup, salt & pepper, the sourdough just got soggy very quickly BUT the quality of ingredients & the amount of stuff on the sandwich was perfect. Defines get what you pay for! It was not skimpy in any way. I also enjoyed the apple fritter. I wanted to try a few donuts but we decided we will be back to try the pork roll on a bagel & I'll grab a donut next time.

    This place is just delightful! The building has no signage for donuts at all--you'd think you're walking into a Philly cheesesteak place. But then you walk in and there's a donut case staring at you! This is the only place I know that sells Mochinut. The whole experience is delightfully quirky, but then there are the actual donuts--which are delicious. I got an assorted selection and had trouble deciding which to eat! We bought them and headed to the beach, enjoying them along the way. The people here are also great--super friendly. I will absolutely keep coming back (especially for those Mochinuts)! Parking: Plenty of parking, just make sure you're on the lookout for a Philly cheesesteak sign instead of a donut sign.

    This is a tough review to write. The doughnuts I had here were pretty good, and definitely they had a few interesting options like donuts made with mochi. But virtually none of the basics were available and I was here at 9 AM on a Saturday. The place is so very strange, it's also a pizza shop or deli of some sort? It has tables inside but it's a train wreck, no way are you sitting down; they had a drink cooler that was empty. And the kitchen looks like pure chaos, and frankly I saw the tubs of donut toppings totally uncovered and the whole area was covered in splatter from it, which was bad enough but I saw a few flies in there too and all I could think of was these flies being all over the donut toppings. The staff was super nice and I liked my donuts, they were the puffy, not cakey, variety. Coffee claims to be the best in the world, it was basic gas station coffee which is actually pretty fine, it wasn't acidic, but it wasn't very flavorful either. If this place got their kitchen together and just spent a day organizing the place, picking up, cleaning up, etc. it would go a long way to making it feel more comfortable, and the other way to get to the full fix stars is to expand the menu to include staples like glazed and jelly filled and custard filled. J.Ja

    Truly great donuts that are step above the rest. Chris is wonderful and was patient and helpful in getting us the prefect donuts. Would highly recommend!

It's a smaller patio, but I always love when a place offers a space to hang out that's also welcoming to pets. Overall, great coffee, great service, and a welcoming vibe--definitely worth checking out.

One…read morething I always appreciate right off the bat is that they offer an outdoor patio that's pet-friendly -- huge bonus for anyone who likes to bring their pup along for coffee runs. This visit was a drive-thru order for us. They did let us know they were pretty busy, which is totally understandable, but I will say the wait was a bit on the longer side before we got our drinks. As for the coffee itself -- my husband ordered a decaf latte with tiramisu syrup, and unfortunately the flavor fell a little flat. He mentioned it tasted very weak overall, and the tiramisu didn't really come through at all. I ordered a decaf latte with cookie dough syrup. Mine was decent -- the coffee itself tasted good -- but similar to his, the syrup flavor didn't quite match what I expected. It didn't really give that cookie-dough taste, just a light sweetness. Price-wise, it came to just under $15 for one medium decaf latte and one large decaf latte with syrups, which feels pretty fair for specialty coffee drinks. Overall, not a bad stop -- especially if you're looking for a pet-friendly coffee spot with a patio -- but I do wish the flavored syrups had been a bit stronger and more true to taste. I'd be open to trying them again and exploring other flavors on the menu.

They also have delicious pastries, and I recommend their red velvet cinnamon roll. I liked their indoor seating area, where I got some work done; the noise level was decent and not distracting. My only feedback is that the drive thru could be managed better. A barista was attending to us at one point at the drive thru window and later forgot us... Another stepped in and asked if we had been helped yet, which we hadn't. Otherwise, it's a great coffee shop in Goose Creek!

It's the kind of spot you want to hang out in. The coffee is where they truly shine, rich, smooth, and tons of flavor options (including sugar-free, which I love). They also have a great variety of milk choices, so it's easy to customize exactly what you want. Unfortunately, the ham and cheese croissant was a big letdown. It was extremely greasy so much so that the paper it came in was completely soaked. When I went to take a bite, there was a strong, almost chemical smell that didn't resemble fresh baked pastry or ham at all. I tried to give it a chance, but the taste matched the smell and I just couldn't finish it. For $7, it was disappointing, and I ended up throwing it away. I had already left by the time I realized how bad it was, so I didn't get the chance to ask for a replacement, but based on that experience, I'd probably skip the pastries in the future. That said, I'll definitely still come back for the coffee, it's genuinely great. Just hoping the food side improves!
