When I think of doughnuts, I think of when my mom used to make the homemade kind. You probably know what I’m talking about. The fried canned biscuits with the middle cut out of them? She would then roll them in cinnamon and sugar or sift powdered sugar over them. As a child, I thought these were the best ever not because they were a sweet treat, but because my mom made them herself. Krispy Kreme only entered into my life as a teenager and only then it was an occasional thing. It wasn’t until I was an adult and I could venture out myself that I found there were shops that made these heavenly treats. If you are looking for something that doesn’t come from Krispy Kreme or Dunkin’ (I’m not saying these are bad by any means) then I have compiled a list for you!

I'm sure they won't be surprised that they are on a list of "Best Doughnut Shops In SC" because they have been making some huge headlines! They are making some flavors here that are out of this world. If you get a chance to go try The Purple Goat if they have it. It is a little savory and a little sweet with berry goat cheese filling and lavender icing. Soooo good!

They have been open since 1964 and they are just getting better and better at what they do there. The doughnuts, although they are not the crazy flavors that some are cooking up, are absolutely mouth-watering. Sometimes, you just need to step back to the basics. Stop by in the morning and get some doughnut holes (which you can buy by the tray if you call ahead) and a nice fresh brewed cup of coffee on your way to work. You won't be disappointed. I've never been disappointed about anything I've gotten there.
