Literally the best donuts I've ever had! They are so soft and flavorful. Be warned, if you go here, you will not want to go anywhere else for donuts! ?? The owners are super nice as well. If you haven't tried them, you are missing out. I recommend getting there as early as you can since they can sell out. You won't be disappointed!!
That is the best I can do. Went in at 9:40 this morning looking for an apple fritter and was told that one would be available at 10:00 all the rest had been ordered. I could see 4 trays of assorted donuts not what we wanted. There was other customers buying donuts. Disappointed with lack of or very limited availability of apple fritters. Looks like if this item is so popular they would make more.
There wasn?t a large selection by time we got there however what they did have was absolutely phenomenal. Best blueberry donut I?ve ever had. We also got a cheesesteak which we inhaled the bread was so fluffy. The service was also amazing. Highly recommend and we will be back!
Hard to find the store because the sign said Philly Cheesesteak. A hole in the wall but they were some of the best, more unique donuts! One of a kind. Great service too. I wish I lived closer so I can have them more.
First time to grab breakfast and won't be the last. Let's talk service. True southern hospitality by these owners. They went out if their way to make conversations even whej extremely busy. Treated you like family. The kids got sprinkle, fruity pebbles and regular glaze. Adults had the Texas kolache and sausage, egg, and cheese jalape?o bagels. It was kod friendly and parking was not an issue. MY only recommendations are, napkin dispensers, kid friendly beverages ( I think they were in between rep deliverie
The cheesesteaks here are amazing. My hubby and I decided to stop in a we were not disappointed. I had the create your own and he had the chicken parmigiano. We will be back.
The owners/bakers treat ya like family. Hands down the best donuts in the Charleston area
So good!! I preordered since they tend to sell out, and it was there ready for me when I got there. 11/10 recommend!
Been coming here since moving to the area and the never miss a beat. Awesome donuts, in our opinion best in the Charleston area. Looking forward to trying their sandwiches when they have that up and running again.
This place is just delightful. The building has no signage for donuts at all - you think you're walking into a Philly cheesesteak place. But then you walk in and there's a donut case staring at you! And even better, the donuts came in a pizza box this morning - it made my day that the best donuts in Goose Creek come in a pizza box from a Philly place. (They normally come in a donut box, they must have been out). The whole experience is delightfully quirky, but then there are the actual donuts - which are d
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I came in this morning, and even if I don't see them in the display, I always ask about the peanut butter filling! This morning you made it happen! My team at work loves the peanut butter donuts, and after a stressful day, I was so excited to be able to bring them their favorite treats! I love coming into the store, there is always such a huge selection and you two are so friendly always, even when the kiddos sneak up on you! Keep up the good work, I wish you all the best an
Best donuts! Customer service has always been over the top perfect. Will always go to Donut Connection if I want a REAL donut.
Joanna is one of the hardest working moms I know, and a reu friend of mine. I'm honored to see her business grow and honor God my serving her community. Proud to support her hard work and efforts. Love you girl! ?? Donuts are phenomenal as always ??
The atmosphere was great! They were confident that we would love their food and boy were they right! Surpassed all my expectations and will be returning regularly for more! They even brought out a chicken finger for my 1 year old son for free!
The donuts at this shop are absolutely delicious, but what truly sets this place apart are the incredible owners. Their kindness and generosity create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit special. You can feel their genuine care for the community, and that?s something far sweeter than any donut. It?s rare to find such wonderful people running a business, and it makes supporting this shop all the more meaningful.
Donut Connection is the BEST donut shop in all of Goose Creek. In fact, Donut Connection is the BEST donut shop in the Charleston area!! Along with the great, soft, fresh, delicious donuts, the SERVICE is absolutely THE BEST EVER!! Top notch people!! I love Donut Connection and you will too!!!!!
The glazed donuts are decent. However, I was not impressed with the Boston creme. As you can see in the picture, there is only a small squirt of creme. I had several filled donuts in my dozen and they all had a very very small amount of filling. Very dissatisfied.
These are wonderful folks who do a wonderful job of making donuts and other baked pastry goods! I always enjoy getting the donuts they make. Also, Chris makes a fantastic king cake! I was born and raised in NOLA, and is rather but a king cake here than back there. He fries the king cake like a donut instead of baking it, and it is outstanding! This is a local owned and operated shop and you NEED to give them a try!
They are a true mom and pop restaurant. This IS my go-to donut place! They have (or can make on the spot) pretty much all the "traditional" flavors. But even more, they have many other flavors which change from day to day. The owners are supper friendly.
Oh my goodness! The croughnuts- both glazed and sugared were out of this world! I don't even like donuts but the combination of a croissant and donut having a baby was next level!!! The sour cream cake donut was very moist and delicious.My son picked them up fresh and we all enjoyed this box of treasures ??
If I could give 0 stars, I would. Chris, who I believe is the owner was working today. I?ve came to the location on two separate occasions, both on a Saturday. The shop was closed. I tried to ask Chris a few questions pertaining to the hours and the menu since nothing was consistent. I went to the original location in Pennsylvania and had an amazing experience and food. When I told Chris I drove a little ways both times to come and the shop be closed, he told me I was being rude and that ruined my experienc
The absolute best doughnut spot in the tri-county area. The cheesesteaks are top notch as well! The owners are very personable and care about their customers!
I was trying to find a bakery that served bear claws but found one that served cronuts. I've always wanted to try those, so I stopped by, and was not only was I greeted with a smile but a lovely little girl opened the door for me! I arrived there right on time because she had just put out fresh cronuts. She offered me two kinds, but I settled for the original since I've never had them before. Let me tell you that I should've purchased both! They were very buttery and delicious! I could only eat a half
This place is great, the staff is super kind and the food is good especially the fries. I even got extra cheese on my way out. Thank you Philly goose creek.
We have always loved Donut Connection donuts they are so so delicious! Today we tried French Dips. They were fantastic & so so delish! I recommend this place for yummy lunch or dinner & a yummy donut for dessert you won?t be disappointed. Can?t wait to come back. Thank you so so much!
Showed up at 1, posted hours said open until 2. Lights and open sign were on, donuts in the case, but the door was locked and no one was to be seen. Real bummer, since we drove up from West Ashley for it
Most disgusting donuts I?ve ever had. We went right when they opened yet the donuts were hard and cold. The cronuts were greasy. All of them tasted like oily sugar. So gross. Don?t waste your money.
Wow what a shop! The best donuts but be sure to pre order! They run out fast. Owned and ran by absolute sweethearts.
It's a shame Google hasn't removed the inaccurate poor reviews that say they're closed. Delicious donuts, apple fritter was divine! I need to try a Philly, but I'm definitely getting more donuts. ??
This place is absolutely not the route to go if you are trying to eat. I have literally drove across town 3-4 times wasting my gas to come out the situation with nothing. First time I came here they had the open sign on and was close. Came another time they said they were not serving cheesesteaks anymore but was still open and offer a donut. I came again a week after that the hours posted on Google clearly are wrong because they were closed I even saw other customers pulling the door, realizing they were cl
The donuts all always phenomenal and the owners are so kind and welcoming!
Their donuts are good but they just aren?t ready for the influx of business they?re receiving. Stand in line 15 min just to say items on the rack won?t be going in the case.
We love Donut Connection and the owners! We went in this morning with a special request and they were able to honor it with no issues. The donuts are AMAZING! Customer Service 10/10, Deliciousness of yummy donuts 10/10!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! And always support your small, local family owned business!
I?ve never tasted food made with the whole heart! This place is so amazing and not to forget about the owners- awesome folks!
Donuts and other breakfast treats are amazing! Owners also do special orders if you order ahead of time. Answering questions and requests via their Facebook page in a timely manner! Came here 1-2x/month when we lived in Goose Creek and always stop by when we come back for vacationing with friends!
One of the best cheese steaks I have had in a long time. Reminded me of growing up in Philly back in the 70s. The people there were so kind and friendly. They also give a military discount, and they appreciate and respect our service.
Came in here a few days ago and got a cheesesteak and a donut. The bread and the donuts were good because they are made fresh but the atmosphere almost put me off. It was dirty and cluttered and made me worry about where my food was being made. I have also read their responses to reviews and they are crazy. They do not know how to provide good and compassionate customer service
Best doughnuts and Philly around! Don't forget the WIZ!
Went to Donut Connection and Cheesesteak on Thursday morning August 15 at 7:00 am. They were supposed to be open but they were closed. No notification. No nothing. Thought I would try them out for the first time. Won?t be back! Word to the wise - call before you come just to make sure they are reliable.
Absolutely hands down the best doughnuts in town. The owners were so fantastic and very helpful while managing the crazy line.
Donuts ?? are amazing and definitely made with love ?? And the cheese steaks ?? are so good you won't stop craving them ?? I know I do ??
I have been to this store before, but my cheese steak this past time was different . The steak had alot of grissle in meat, and seemed light on the meat. I also ordered doughnuts which were excellent, but not the main reason I went to this store.
Um....I don't know where my original review went so here is my new one! I've been coming to Donut Connection since I moved here. The best donuts in town. And now that they have expanded, their Philly's are awesome as well. They are some of the hardest working people I've met that still have the energy to give some of the best customer service. Their donuts are handmade.....fresh and delicious. Like donuts should be. I love this place
Locally owned business. Delicious doughnuts that are made fresh every day. And delicious cheesesteak sandwiches.
Great experience! They sell out quick so do your online order. Joanna is ??
Donut connection is amazing! Make sure you come early, they are in high demand.
This hole in the wall is amazing. Their donuts and pastries are mind-blowing made fresh everyday. The staff is ridiculously friendly and accommodating. Everything tastes delicious. I wish they offered drinks
Sweetest family ever! This establishment is so wholesome! Love that she balances her family and her business. We LOVED the donuts and cheesesteak! 10/10!!! We just moved to goose creek and are so excited to know this is a business local to us now. Yall are killin it, keep it coming!!!
These are literally the best donuts ever I swear but it's always the best when they first open but it's almost like you never know when they first open. It can be 5am or 8am or not at all :( I've wasted a lot of trips thinking that they are open when they are not.
We went there two times and they were closed both times. Not sure they are still open for business.
UPDATE: This is an update from my previous review. It's been 6 months now and I swear that the service and the quality of the food are even better. I ordered online, and by the time I got out of the car, the owner was already bringing my order out to me. The taste of the steak on the sandwich was amazing. Not only good quality meat, but seasoned so well. I wish them MUCH continued success! ****************************** I stopped going to this restaurant several years ago because of the inconsistency of th
So to start off my wife, about a week or two ago, she called the cheese steak place and made sure they were open, also to make sure they had bread and the ghost pepper cheese. Whoever she spoke to on the phone assured her they had the cheese and they were open and had bread. When she arrived to pick up the ghost pepper cheese chicken steak, the person who made the food told her they were actually out of the ghost pepper cheese. But they made it as close as they could to the ghost pepper cheese. Paying close
Ordered through Uber eats for my first time. I won?t lie I need to see with whiz at any shop to know my Philly is goin to be an actually Philly I?m interested in. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Highly impressed and can?t wait for another Philly from them. Portion, flavor, and pricing were more than adequate and accommodating.
If you don't give donut Connection a chance, you are missing out! I have been coming to get donuts since the new owners took over and it's amazing to see how they have grown into what they are today. No matter how busy they are, they still get the job done. Check their Facebook for hours as Google is not correct and you'll end up going when they're not there.
My favorite spots for donuts locally! Awesome staff! Good vibes ????
This place is amazing. The donuts are incredible and the service is great. The building is a little cluttered which makes the atmosphere not the best but the food makes up for it. Would definitely recommend.
I?ve gotten donuts here twice now and have enjoyed them both times. They are best when fresh, but I am only able to go in the afternoon when they aren?t as fresh. I?ve tried to go here on two separate occasions, one around 4pm and another around 6pm and they were closed despite the hours online saying they were open. I was highly disappointed both times because the drive from my residence to the location isn?t necessarily short, not to mention I went while traffic was heavy. I don?t mind the drive for the d
I ordered take out today for the first time in forever. Not only was my sandwich so good, you get so much food! But, my favorite thing about going in was the atmosphere. The owners are so sweet. You can tell they have lots of regulars, and everyone is fond of one another. I highly recommend.
Love the donuts and breakfast sandwiches. Friendly atmosphere, good prices, we'll definitely be back!
My spinach cheese steak was everything! And the employees were very friendly. I felt as if I've know them forever! I'm never going anywhere else for a cheese steak!
It already bad that the 12 inch is $17 and not including fries or drink, but can't even get a half is crazzyyyy, never went to a restaurant being told "we only do orders we can make money off of, sorry I wouldn't make much off a 6 inch Philly" lmao that is beyond meeeeee... and they hours open is terrible.
Very disappointed , not many kinds to choose from, out of main ones, there was a small child walking around bare footed and barely dressed where a lady was using a griddle to cook. Not very safe or appealing to see. I used to be in food service and that is not acceptable .
Their donuts are amazing and so is their customer service. Will be going back!
A must stop for donuts in Goose Creek. It's best to order online.
Had Donut Connection for the first time today. Cept driving pass it becauae there isn't a sign lol. The guy working was v?ry welcoming and friendly. He conversated with eveyone while still providing great service. My mom got a half dozen assorted flavors and I got a 4 donuts. I forgot a donut that my mom wanted after I made my purchase and the gentleman gave it to me on the house saying "This one is one me today". he was just awesome... This really made our morning. Donuts are super fresh. I had lemon Dan
The food is 5 stars all the way! The problem is I never know when they?re open! The hours on Google are not accurate. Stopped by at 3 on a Thursday and they were closed, and hours not posted on the store sign either. Again, I will keep trying because the donuts and cheesesteaks are SO worth it if they?re open!!!
Stopped here yesterday. Always wanted to go in. The doughnuts are the best I ever had! Great selection. Definitely will be back. So glad we found this gem of a place!
You cannot believe how good these donuts are until you experience them. OMG is no exaggeration!
Chris, you were great! The food was just wonderful haven't had a good Philly like that in years! Your customer service was great taking time with our three orders plus the donut order. If yall actually read these reviews go see Chris because that man knows what he's doing. Hands down best Philly in Charleston
I went in today after not going since old owners, we used to love it there. The lady behind counter was holding a baby and the little girl was getting donuts out of a bin with her bare hand, one hand was gloved but did not use that one. Children do not belong in this situation where there is a grill and grease. It has certainly run down since new owners. They no longer have 8 inch sandwiches. It is so small inside and feels dirty.
Yo this place is 100 percent authentic. The steak is totally authentic and the service was top notch 11/10 all the way. if you from Philly you need to come here
Our donut was finished right and front of us and it was delicious!
Opening hours say 5 am. When I got there at 6:30 am, there was a man I could see working on some dough but the door was locked. I got his attention and he told me they open at 8. Looking in the window, I could see three plastic self serve drink containers (the kind with the little spout you pull the handle on to dispense the beverage) that were each about 1/4 full. I'm pretty sure those were leftover from yesterday. Not the level of sanitation I'd like in a restaurant. I did not eat there. Based on what
I count myself as a long-term customer. I have come here once a month for years now with my kids, and the food hasnt disappointed! Not once! The donuts are delicious, and the coffee is fantastic. It doesn't matter if you're a local or passing through. You have to stop by here. I'm sure, just like me, you will be looking forward to coming back!
New owners took away half of the seating. No A/C. Sat there sweating while we waited for our food. Heat and eating are not a good combination for me. Friendly help! Good music! Good selection of food. Tea was horrible. Not a good selection of drinks. We will not be back.
Super great service, very welcoming and nice. Delicious huge donuts. Philly cheese steak is a giant portion and delicious. Love this place.
Went in for some donuts and left with a bacon, egg and cheese bagel as well. It was so delicious and everything was fresh. The donuts are very delicious and fresh but the bagel sandwich was amazing!
Absolutely love this place. Donuts are made fresh and are amazing. They even bake great bread. The husband and wife owners are great!
BEST DONUTS I HAVE EVER HAD!! THE Philly's Rock also. The owners are a very nice, hard working couple. Support your local small business. Start here. You WILL NOT be sorry...
Best and most authentic cheese steak i have found down in South Carolina. Coming from the Philly area, this place makes the best cheesesteaks I've had and will be returning anytime I get a hankering for Philly cuisine.
We picked up donuts here twice this week. Asked for a dozen assorted first day, the second time we had a few requests, based on what we got before. Both times, the donuts were iced and decorated freshly. They were great! We picked up lunch on the second day; cheesesteaks were spot on. Will be back! Highly recommend the fruity pebbles (kids), Boston creme, Danish filling, cronut (with cinnamon sugar) and Samoa donuts. Loaded cheesteak = yum.
1st time there and will definitely not be my last! I will be taking friends, family and advising strangers to go there. The couple are a phenomenal team, the food is out of this world, and ohhh the donuts... DELICIOUS! They have donuts there that you have never heard of before, but will definitely want again. There is no Philly like an original Philly and they are definitely original! A definite must no matter how far you have to go to get there. From Pgh and craving a true Philly, today I drove 40 min
The sandwiches are certainly worth more than the price. Yes I've had better cheese steaks but I have also had to pay a lot more for them. What I would really like is some way to locate the truck. I work at one of the places the truck delivers to and it would be awesome to know if they are coming by or if I need to find another option for lunch rather than wondering. Food is good and the delivery service is great!
Best donuts and cheese steaks in the area! The customer service is always great! Perfect place to grab yummy food and have a picnic.
The owner was helpful informative and friendly. They make awesome donuts, banana pudding, and much more. You will not be disappointed.
We've been there a couple of times and the guy working there was nice and the food was good. I just left there tonight without eating. One woman was busy smoking her cigarette and the other one said we would have to wait for about 5 minutes because she needed some "me time". The lady who was the cook was inside cooking what was probably good food. I won't know because I am never going to wait for someone to have their me time before they can take my order.
The food is amazing. That being said, I think it's overpriced for what you get and the customer service leaves you feeling like you're inconveniencing the employees. I've been here twice now and both times the lady working seemed to be irritated by my business. Both times it was hot in the restaurant so I took my food to go. I appreciate that they make everything to order so your food is always hot and fresh. But, if they're busy you might be waiting for half an hour to eat. The lady prepping food doesn't w
OK cheese steak, no cooper available, but had provolone n good bread. Would be better with a clean grill. I question the A rating on cleanliness. Overall, kinda dirty n disorganized a bit. I would definitely revamp and move stuff around to better suit a one man show. Will also be better with more help. Can't clean up, take orders, food prep with all a one man show. I'll give it another shot in a week or two n update my review, as this place, albeit small, has promise. Looks like needing some experience on t
