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.

We had appetizers, the pretzel and spinach and artichoke dip. People were friendly. It took a while…read morefor them to come out. The pretzel was worth the wait. The spinach and artichoke dip was ok. Outside seating was beautiful.

We absolutely loved this place. It's such a cozy spot right in Summerville -- and honestly, it was…read moreso nice not having to go all the way into Charleston. We actually stumbled upon Luxe Bar & Bistro while planning to head downtown, but a bridge closure caused major traffic, so we decided to change plans and just find somewhere local to enjoy a holiday cocktail. After checking reviews online, Luxe Bar & Bistro stood out, so we decided to give it a try -- and we're so glad we did. They have a large outdoor space, but of course, it started to rain as soon as we arrived. Luckily, they also have a covered front patio with a few chairs, which worked out perfectly. We each ordered two cocktails. I started with Under the Mistletoe -- Tito's, house-made rosemary simple syrup, lemon juice, topped with soda ($10). This was hands down the most delicious holiday drink I've had so far this season. It was refreshing, perfectly balanced, and hit the spot. I also tried the seasonal special, a Pomegranate Cranberry Sangria ($10), which was equally good. My husband ordered the Tipsy Grinch-- Malibu rum, mango purée, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, and soda water ($9.50). He said it was sweet but not overly sweet and really enjoyed it. He also had the Dirty Snowman Martini with RumChata, Disaronno Amaretto, vanilla vodka, and a cinnamon sugar rim ($13). He substituted almond milk for the half-and-half, and it was still creamy and delicious. We also had a great conversation with Natalie and quickly realized we had a lot in common, especially when it comes to dogs and the importance of pet safety. I always love meeting a fellow dog mom who shares the same values. The service and ambiance were excellent, and the space was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We will 100% be back -- and next time, we definitely plan on trying the food.

While commuting between two big cities, you hope for some quick food ready to hop back to your…read morejourney but Magnolias Cafe is a place that will make you take a pause and enjoy and savor every moment of this little gem. Here is the summary of my experience recently: 1. Ambiance 5/5 - This is a family owned small cafe. I did not expect much but this is a cute little spot with great decor up with the fall season. 2. Service - 6/5 : Everyone was very nice, cool and accommodating. Soledad was amazing and delightful. 3. Food 5/5: - Here is the summary of what we had: a) Caramel coconut - Great coffee with good flavor and right amount of sugar. b) Iced vanilla latte - Another winner in my opinion c) omelette with fries - Great on taste. Even the ides were delicious d) Chocolate chip pan cakes - They were fluffy, moist and delicious 4 Value for Money 5/5: The food was light on the pocket and great in taste and had a great conversation with soledad as well. In summary, more the value for money A must visit going out from Charleston to Atl. If you do not visit this place, you are missing a lot :)

I stopped here for breakfast while killing time between a massage and a dental appointment. I was…read moregreeted when I walked in, and my waitress was very nice. The cafe itself is cute, and I really wanted to love the food. I ordered the blueberry waffle with sausage links. Unfortunately, the waffle was pretty bland--even with syrup--and the blueberries were concentrated only in the center instead of throughout the waffle. It definitely looked better than it tasted. The sausage links, however, were really good. They had a nice crispy skin without being overcooked and were easily the best part of my meal. The restroom also left a lot to be desired. Both the toilet paper AND paper towels were sitting loose on the sink. There was a paper towel dispenser mounted directly over the toilet--which is disgusting in itself--despite there being plenty of other wall space where it could've been installed. The faucet was also extremely loose and felt like it was barely attached. The restroom just didn't feel clean or well maintained. Overall, the service was friendly and the cafe is cute, but between the disappointing waffle and the condition of the restroom, 3 stars feels fair.

Their level of cleanliness leaves something to be desired. The floor always looks disgusting! The bathroom could always use a little touching up and they can't keep the tables spotless with the volume of people they have coming in and out. Otherwise it's a good place.

The food is genuinely good and delivers that nostalgic diner-style comfort that keeps people coming back. The #4 burger special (burger, fries, drink, and ice cream) is a great value and very satisfying. The burger is juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right, with a soft bun that holds everything together without falling apart. The fries are hot, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--simple, classic, and done well. Ending the meal with ice cream feels like a throwback treat and is the perfect sweet finish. Paired with a cold drink, the whole special feels filling and well thought out. The chef salad with fried chicken was another pleasant surprise. The salad was fresh and generously portioned, with crisp lettuce and well-balanced toppings. The fried chicken on top was the highlight--crispy, flavorful, and clearly made with care, adding real substance to the dish rather than feeling like an afterthought. Where things get a bit challenging is the service and overall flow. Ye Ole Fashioned stays busy, and the constant stream of customers combined with limited staff can make ordering feel chaotic. There doesn't seem to be a single, clear system--orders are taken by whoever is available at the moment. While the system does work and food comes out correctly, it can feel confusing and frustrating at times, especially for first-time visitors. The staff works hard, but the rush can make the experience feel hectic rather than smooth. The ambiance matches the old-fashioned charm of the place--simple, no-frills, and very much about the food rather than polish. Once you understand how things operate, it's easier to relax and enjoy the experience.
