Light, fluffy “angel” donuts (powdered and filled with sweet cream cheese or raspberry jam), decadent creme brûlée, or my new favorite cherry chip cake donuts - you really can’t go wrong with Donut Connection in Goose Creek. The owners, a husband and wife team, have...done a brilliant job of getting this shop up and running. I hadn’t ever gone before they took over a year ago, but it’s safe to say I’m hooked. If you had a rough night, their made-to-order bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich is the cure for what ails you. Then try a churro, if there are any left!
I see complaints on here regarding a lack of selection, and another claiming the donuts were “stale”. Here’s the thing - people in this town know what’s good, and they snap up those fresh, delightful treats first thing in the morning. The early bird gets the better donut selection! As for staleness - that happens very fast when there aren’t a bunch of preservatives or chemically processed garbage mixed into the dough. I buy a dozen at the weekends, and there are three of us in the house. The two or three (don’t judge me) donuts that are left over usually are a bit tougher the next day, but 10 seconds in the microwave and a good cup of coffee fixes that issue.
I’ve always had excellent service there, and I’m pretty picky about that. I went in once and when I pulled out my wallet to pay, I realized my debit card was not in there. I paid with another card but I was in full on panic mode, digging though my bag at the counter like a maniac (I found it when I got home, so - crisis averted). The two ladies behind the counter were so sweet and helpful, despite my frenzied state.
The owners are husband and wife - and at times it has just been the two of them running the whole show. This can be challenging for anyone - now imagine adding a toddler and expected baby to the mix - I’m super impressed by these two and their dedication to their craft.
I like to get my donuts and then inhale the first one as I go through the car wash across the street. My little reward for making it through another week of working and being a mom! I’d post more pictures, but they’re usually half gone before I can get my camera out...More
