Pink icing $1.99
Rebecca A.

For those of you who read my reviews you know I LOVE to support local. And you may or may not know that I also love donuts. Coming from Springfield IL all I knew was delicious donuts from a local shop, Mel-O-Cream. I still get them every time I'm in SPI for a visit!! So in CHS after Glazed permanently closed, I've been in search for a local donut replacement. So I found DonutMakes and stopped to give them a try. The actual yeast donuts were fresh and good. My hiccup was with the icing and the gel filling. As numerous other reviews mentioned, neither the icing or filling was sweet. And nobody wants cloyingly sweet, but I expect a donut to be sweet. Also, the pink icing and jelly filling were both listed as raspberry flavored. I love raspberries and neither gave me a raspberry flavor profile at all. So my hunt for the best local donut will continue.

Fresh fluffy donuts and great space to bring the family! Service was quick and there was no line because we waited until 10:00, after the morning rush.

Hazelnut iced coffee !

This donut shop is so cute!! It's tucked in a shopping center in the very corner but inside it is so nice! I heard this place is locally owned and I've always wanted to check it out. I wanted to bring in donuts to the office and this place did not disappoint at all. My coworkers were very content! I wasn't able to take a picture of the donuts but they were huge and amazing overall. I ordered a dozen donuts and asked for a random assortment. I also got an iced coffee with hazelnut syrup and a bit of sugar/cream and it was a 10/10. The cashier was so nice and helped me out which I totally appreciate. This place is definitely worth the drive!

Donut Holes

By far the best I've had, hands down!! So soft & delicious. It's like biting into a cloud. You can definitely tell they're freshly made. Will be going back for sure!

This was my second visit and I ordered the donut holes with raspberry glaze and sprinkles, they were pretty good. I liked the flavor this time around, instead of just tasting sweet/sugar I did taste a hint of raspberry in the icing. I enjoyed the texture of the donut holes and subtle glaze. They went great with my coffee this morning, glad I gave this place another try. Donut holes $ 2.99 plus tax FYI

This little donut shop is tucked away and could easily be looked over but that would be a shame. The donuts are delicious!!! Very yeasty and soft. They offer several different varieties and each one seemed to be a great size. And their donut holes... I would go back just for truckloads of those, to be honest! They have to be the best donut holes I have ever devoured! The staff was also extremely friendly and very willing to answer any questions I had. I cannot wait to return soon!

Today I went to an antique outdoor market to get a typewriter. I thought, hey...let me bring home donuts for my family as a nice gesture! I went to Dunkin and stood there for 5 minutes and they did not even acknowledge my presence...so I walked out. Plus I haven't been a fan of their food for a while. Their donuts taste so not fresh. I went down the street to Donut Makes and I'm so glad I did! They were so nice in there and their donuts and coffee are excellent! I got a vanilla iced latte. I got My husband the Boston cream donut and he really enjoyed it. We will be returning for sure! The donuts are airy, delicious, and FRESH!

Fairly new donut shop I decided to drop in on. It's off of Bacons Bridge, but it's easy to miss. Believe it's family owned. Offers a variety of donuts options which can be comparable to Dunkin or Krispy Kreme. They were delicious. Love to support a small business on the rise.

So good! Recommend.... Order ahead :…read morehttps://www.hotplate.com/mrsdoughnut To ensure they have the ones you want. Don't sleep on the Cronuts (Crescent Donuts) ! My friends (who are out of town and had them on their last visit) mention craving them on a regular bases. It's become my go to treat for company and for friends who need a comfort yummy!

Are their donuts good? Yes…read more But their owner is unhinged. She commented vile things on a photo of my daughter (posted several weeks prior so she had to search for it) because of a situation that occurred at a local Dunkin, that IN NO WAY involved me. She assumed that since I work for the management company (in no way involved in operations or anything at the store level) that I must be supporting racist actions of a customer. She believes she was protecting my daughter by trying to get her photo removed from a public Facebook page, but all she did was draw negative light and attention to my daughter. After the Hanahan Rec Department, another individual, and myself replied to her comments and put her in her place, she deleted her comments, but I have yet to receive an apology from her. I cannot believe another mother would post such things that could potentially bring negative attention and hate to a child. I will never give Mrs Doughnut or the attached Philly cheesesteak shop any of my business, and I have made my friends, family, and coworkers aware of Joanna's actions. Say all you want about Dunkin. Hell, say all you want about me, but if you bring my child into a situation, you are playing with fire.

OMG ya'll, the tomato pie!! I am obsessed with tomatoes and I'm also from the Northeast where…read morenothing like this exists, so you can imagine my excitement to try it. And I'm happy to report that it exceeded my expectations! The slice of pie was HUGE (very tall) and it had some kind of a sauce/cheese combo on top of the tomatoes that was fantastic. Combined with the pie crust, it reminded me of a slice of Chicago deep dish pizza! My husband and I also shared the following: cinnamon rolls, salted caramel brownie and a white chocolate raspberry bread pudding muffin. All were huge, rich in flavor and very satisfying. I already can't wait to come back again! :)

I've been wanting to try this place since seeing their tomato pie reviews, but live West Ashley and…read morenever make it that side during their hours. Finally made it this past Thursday. The place is a nice sized neighborly cafe. The bakery display was very tempting, but I had to remind myself why I was here, TOMATO PIE!! Let me preface this by saying I'm from Charleston (lived here all my life except for 2 years), and I LOVE Tomato Pie. I was in utter shock when I saw how huge their Tomato Pie was. I ordered it to go and did not have it heated when ordered. I asked the gentlemen at the counter how he recommended heating it and he suggested in an oven over a microwave to keep the crust crisp. So that is how I heated it. For the cheese lovers this one is for you!! The cheese was a bit excessive and over powering for me. I did not like this tomato pie at all. It lacked flavor to me, and I'm usually one that believes seasonings should enhance the flavor of the food, not cover/overwhelm the palate. What I tasted was CHEESE, tomatoes and a bland crust. I saw the herbs/seasonings underneath the cheese, but did not taste it at all. To each their own, but this in no way tastes like the classic southern tomato pie I grew up loving. I gave a 3 because the menu had MANY options that looked appealing that I may go back to try.

Swank's newest addition -- an ice cream shop! Two doors down from Swank Desserts, the place feels…read morenice and clean. The area where the line starts is pretty tight as the seating area is right next to it. Additional seating out front. Paper menus are available in the line. Waffle cone almost tastes like a sweet, cinnamon croissant. I was afraid that as the ice cream melted, the waffle cone would start to disintegrate, but it surprisingly held its shape. Vanilla Bean with chocolate pearls and rainbow sprinkles is perfect for the little ones. Norman's Cookies taste just like their salted chocolate chip cookie mixed with delicious cookie milk ice cream. Eat it Brucie! Was my favorite. Chocolate ice cream with chocolate cake pieces throughout, freakin delicious! Weekend at Grannies House is a classic butter pecan ice cream filled with pecan chunks Mile High Club has the perfect amount of swirls of Biscoff cookie butter Who Made the Yams? Tasted like a piece of mom or grandma's sweet potato pie with a scoop of ice cream. Definitely will be my go-to for a sweet treat!

Swank has done it again! I recently attended Friends & Family Night at the new Swank Creamery,…read morelocated right next door to Swank Desserts in Summerville, and I was impressed with this new addition! First, the space is beautiful! I love the bold, vibrant colors and the attention to detail throughout the shop. Everything was extremely clean, organized, and inviting. They also have a wonderful indoor and outdoor seating area, making it a great spot for families, date nights, or just grabbing a sweet treat. Now, let's talk about the ice cream! Swank offers a wide variety of flavors with some really fun and creative names. Their seasonal menu includes flavors like "Who Made the Yams?" featuring roasted sweet potato ice cream, marshmallow fluff, and sweet potato pie cheesecake, and "The Blacker the Berry," made with vanilla bean ice cream, black currant jam, and oat streusel. I love seeing a business get creative with flavors while incorporating Southern-inspired ingredients. We started with vanilla ice cream served in a freshly made waffle cone, and it was absolutely delicious! They also offer freshly baked cookies, including a matcha cookie that caught my attention. If you have trouble deciding on a flavor, they offer ice cream flights so you can sample several options. Another nice touch is their coffee selection. They serve espresso and specialty lattes, including Brown Butter and Caramelized Banana, so there's something for coffee lovers, too. The customer service was excellent! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I also enjoyed seeing other local business owners come out to support the opening. It's always wonderful to see our local business community supporting one another. Overall, I'm really excited about Swank Creamery! Between the creative flavors, freshly baked cookies, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service, I think this will be a great addition to Summerville. I'm looking forward to returning and trying more of their unique flavors. Definitely worth checking out!
