Customer Reviews

I was visiting from Texas for a project in the bay and stopped by. Oh my, the donuts and CHICKEN SANDWICH WAS SO GOOD!!! Get the sandwich hot. The donut sandwich with the sausage was just perfect blend of flavors. Honestly, the meat had a rich smoked flavor. I love matcha, so I got that too and it was also good! Recommended!

Everything I've had here is so delicious! Finally somewhere with fresh tapioca!!! If you're a "bubble tea" fan you HAVE to try it here. It'll change your life. The breakfast croissants and donuts are incredible too #

These are the most amazing donuts, I have friends and family asking for them all the way from Arizona to Atlanta (move over Krispy Cream) to West Virginia and even England! My family loves the coffee drinks, and they are constantly sold out of Bacon Maple, Chocolate Pecan, and Cinnamon Rolls. Lots of other yummy selections! Super friendly people....stop by when driving the coastal highway, you will not be disappointed! The only bad thing is they take Mondays off, family owned!

THE BEST DONUTS! Seriously we were 30 min away for a trip and made the drive over this morning for these donuts. Melt in your mouth blueberry jelly filled donuts. Maple donuts that taste like maple syrup! You definitely need these donuts in your life!

Delicious!!! The staff were so kind and helpful in assisting us to make choices. My kids LOVE donuts so this was a special treat. Absolutely incredible. Get the blueberry!

This place is so amazing!! Hands down the best donuts available #1(yes! Even better than Krispy Kreme). The owners are awesome, VERY nice and polite each and every time we drop by there for donuts after fishing all night! It was ALWAYS a little sweet treat my husband and I would indulge when we could and my favorite was ALWAYS donut holes! They have several different types of donuts usually always available like a strawberry with cream cheese icing and a strawberry or strawberry slice on it, bacon maple may

This is a very good donut shop. Great donuts, a wide variety of pastries, and friendly staff. Clean as well. Highly recommended.

great donuts but you?ll have to get there before 1 or else they?ll sell out. my favorite donut shop in the area. 10/10

Great donuts and quiet atmosphere. Customer service was great! I definitely recommend this spot.

I love coming here my kids and I love their donuts and Boba sweet staff very friendly I highly recommend whoever stops by here they have different varieties of donuts and drinks..definitely gonna come again

Friendly people!! Donuts are really big and sweet! It was a nice friendly atmosphere to stop in and get breakfast! Definitely had that island feel that i needed while on the island!

first time here today - wonderful service, and i'm chuffed that the cup my cold coffee drink came in is sturdy enough to re-use! am going to eat the apple fritter now....

Best doughnuts in town! And very lovely and nice staff!

Fabulous donuts! Strawberry with cream cheese frosting and fresh strawberries...yum. Normally I wouldn't go out of my way for a donut, but I would for another one of these!

The best ever. I drove about 40 miles to get these for my grandkids.

Stopped here and had breakfast one morning. They have fabulous donuts and even better coffee!! We ate our donuts and visited with the staff they were very friendly and extremely helpful!

Such nice people! We got there pretty late in the morning (after 10am) but they still had some of the best doughnuts around. Literally the best donut holes I've ever eaten. Big, fluffy and dripping with glaze. I ordered 2 dozen and they lasted me all the way back to Arkansas.

Whenever I'm having a craving for donuts, this is where I go!! The staff is friendly and their donuts & Frappuccinos are amazing

Man! We were so impressed with the selection....and the quality.....of the donuts that we just had to ask the owner how he makes them taste so good. Then he chatted with us for a few minutes until this group of 3 boys came in and asked if they would give them a free donut. This man just handed over 3 donuts for them. So not only does he make quality donuts, but he's just an all around quality person! I always take that into consideration when choosing to return to a restaurant.

These doughnuts are amazing!!! So fresh!

Rolled in 10 friends deep and were greeted with smiles and recommendations. Vietnamese coffee was so good and all the donuts are delicious. Well done team! We will be back next vacation.

I frequently bring my husband Sugar Rush Donuts on Saturdays at the shipyard. These donuts are so much better than Krispy Kreme or Dunkin? Donuts. They are absolutely The best donuts around!!! My favorite donut shop because the donuts are exceptional and the service is fantastic!!!

Delicious donuts! We will be going back!

My husband just made a special trip here to get me an apple fritter im so disappointed its hard as a rock i cant bring it back so i popped it in the micro for 15 secs an it taste like it was left in oil an its still hard except for a small piece in the middle?? ive had them before an they were to die for not sure what happened but they shouldve thrown the whole tray away!

Super delicious, lots of fun options, and great service! If I drove by here on my way to work I would stop every day.

We love this place! The donuts are amazing and they have almost any flavor you could ask for. Coffee is on point. I would definitely choose Sugar Rush over Starbucks any day. And the ladies who run the place are incredibly talented, friendly and beautiful! Love them.

They have the best doughnuts, pastries,& Pigs n a blanket. The caramel frap is delicious. The service is always fast and friendly.

Small town doughnut shop with made fresh items. Cost fair for post covid pricing. Owner always on the front counter and always happy to see you. Try the cream or fruit filled doughnuts. They don't skimp on the filling. You almost sprain your wrist picking them up because they have so much filling. Fresh made coffees also. Dine in options just a few small tables. Gets busy right before school starts since it's located between 3 local schools.

I was very surprised with all the different things they had to offer. Doughnuts, hand scooped Ice cream , and coffee drinks just to name a few.

The BEST donuts that you will ever eat in your life! They are huge!! I am always greeted with a smile. They offer a wide range of specialty coffee drinks as well as donuts. My neice used them for a donut bar for her wedding and it looked amazing. There is indoor seating available to savor a drink and your donut.

1st time here, bought donuts for the office, they were good. The maple bacon donuts were a hit. Wish they had a little more options for breakfast, maybe breakfast sandwiches or wraps.. but not a deal breaker. Will be back.

When spontaneity pays off BIG! Taking a Sunday morning drive through Bayou La Batre & thought we'd try the Sugar Rush Donut Co. They have an apple fritter that is soooo big and amazingly delicious! It's down right huge with delicious, big pieces apples in it! Wow! In addition, we had great service with a smile. Well played...well played Donut people.

I've only been once a few weeks ago and the service was great and the donuts and frappes just as good!! I'm actually on my way in the next few minutes! ??

They are the nicest people everrrr !!! Delicious donuts !! ??

Never a bad day at Sugar rush. If you don't walk out of this place with a smile on your face, nothing in the world can help you. The folks here warmly greet you as if you are a personal friend. There's such a large variety I almost never know what to pick. I used to be a strict Krispy Kreme customer, but with only one in town and the customer service skills strongly lacking, I'd rather throw my money to these awesome folks.

We LOVE Sugar Rush! You really can't go wrong with any of the doughnut choices. These are not the boring doughnuts like the national chains sell and a must-have if in the area! The huge apple fritter is enough for two... maybe 3 people! If there during lunch, try their amazing chicken salad croissant!

We tried this donut shop this morning on our way home from Dauphin Island it is was THE BEST DONUTS we've had!! They are delicious, large, gourmet donuts!! My family and I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it!

I am never disappointed each time I stop in at Sugar Rush. Amazing food, coffees, and teas. The owners and other staff are always so helpful and so very nice. I never wait long at all. My entire family loves Sugar Rush. It is by far a pleasant experience each time we visit.

Absolutely love Sugar Rush. Lighthouse Baptist Church bus 4 stops every Sunday morning. Coffee and donuts are amazing. Our bus kids really enjoy it. The lady's there are so sweet,kind and patient with our kids. Thank you

Great little place in Bayou LaBatre! Had 6 donuts and they tasted great. Very friendly staff that gave great service. the lunch menu spans from sandwiches to Egg Rolls! We will definately stop by again the next time we are in the are. The donuts we freshly made and tasted great. Well done!

This place was great! Very friendly staff. I got there just in time to get the last apple fritter. It was still warm and absolutely amazing. Well worth the splurge on my diet! It was a great way to end my Dauphin Island vacation.

I read the reviews so decided to stop by on my way home from Dauphin Island and let me tell you that I'm so thankful that I did. We got a dozen of the variety and it was some of it not the best donuts that I've ever had. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Would def make a return trip for more. A must visit if in the area

Best apple fritter I?ve ever eaten! Everything else was delicious too, but I literally still have dreams about eating the apple fritter... I?ll come back just for that! And I live 15 hours away! That says a lot of you ask me EAT HERE! You won?t regret it!

Best doughnuts I have ever had. Nice variety. Melt in your mouth. Very friendly staff. Cheesecake doughnut best texture and strawberry was so fresh! A new staple for us.

This is a great doughnut shop. They make the best apple fritters around but get there early because they often run out by 3pm. Remember the Bayou La Batre location is closed on Mondays. I a have been tole that their sandwiches are great and will be going soon to try them.

Sugar Rush is just plain and simple the best! Their donuts, especially the chocolate cake are heaven as well as the apple fritters. And take home a few pigs in a blanket s for tomorrow's breakfast..

A dangerous place to go when you're hungry! We have tried a large assortment of doughnuts and they tasted great. Chocolate, chocolate coconut, and the maple bacon are delicious!

Fantastic place with friendly staff/ owners. We went twice while we were in the area and will definitely be going back!! The doughnuts are very affordable and delicious!

They have the BEST donuts, super fresh and super DELICIOUS! The staff is EXCELLENT. You have not had a good donut until you have had a Sugar Rush Donut.

They're always super welcoming.The donuts and drinks are amazing!!!! It's one of my favorite places to go to fulfill my sweet tooth.

We think they have great treats and nice workers ! We were wanting donuts one night but knew we woulnt get from our house in Grand bay to sugar rush before they closed . But my husband called and they waited for him to get there and we got our donuts :)

Excellent donuts! The staff was also very helpful in telling us about good local places to eat shrimp.

Amazing place to buy donuts and coffee. Their service is amazing I whole heartedly recommend giving them a try. 10/10 would go again.

Great customer service! Coffee and donuts are delicious.

The name says it all. Sugar Rush everything and then some. Not only do they have like some of the best doughnuts around comma but their presentation and product are spot-on. . And eating the donuts the only thing I can say is it like on orgasm in your mouth of sugary perfection and love the fact that they have Kick Ass Coffee. It's literally killing two birds with one bearclaw. . In my top suggestion is try the Canadian maple bacon donut I just wish I could stop .. with the consumption of just one but but I

Sugar Rush is very nice. The staff was attentive and kind. They had quite the selection and stuff was really good. I can't wait to come back ??

If you want the best donuts that out krispey cr?me and dunkins to shame go here. Not the airport location but in the bayou. You wont regret the drive

First time coming by here to try out a local place to get my coffee the staff was amazing really made the place. Would?ve gave them 5 stars if there prices were more reasonable 5-6$ for a small coffee could?ve got a venti at Starbucks for the same price.

Always a wonderful experience. The prices may not be that low, but you get a lot for your money. I would gladly bypass those other chains to come here when I have a sweet tooth.

Fresh donuts, great coffee, the ladies were very friendly and helpful!

I cannot brag enough about this place ! Best Apple Fritters I ever had hands down !! And phenomenal donuts too !! You have to try this place !

Big donuts! The donuts and rolls taste great, but are huge. One donut seems like 2 Krispy Creme donuts. Cinnamon roll feeds 2 people.

She's gonna put krispy kreme out of business! Hands down the best donuts I've ever tasted! Even my kids ask if we can drive to the bayou to get sugar rush cause they don't want krispy kreme anymore!

Sugar Rush Donuts in Bayou La Batre, AL, serves great donuts, but the owner's rudeness slightly dampens the experience unfortunately.

I really wanted to give a 5 star. The donuts were great. But there were 7 options. At 8am. On a Saturday. And the building is not the nicest.

I absolutely love the drinks

This is the best donut shop I've been to literally anywhere. It tastes good donut.

Best doughnuts ever! Seriouslyb check out their speciality ones. Bacon Maple and Strawberry Cheese cake is some of our favorites.

Small town business, excellent service! The owner was very patient being that it was my first ye there! Even though I dropped half on the ground upon arriving home, the ones I managed to save were delicious ??????

Sugar Rush is a family owned and operated donut shop. They are on the pricey side, but they are some of the best ?? in my life.

Best frozen drinks by far, exceptionally clean environment, friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. LOVE IT!!!

Best donuts ever anywhere they got everybody beat I love my donuts shoot Dunkin' donuts and Krispy Kreme has nothing on this quality of donuts that sugar Rush makes

First time visit. The lady who waited on us was awesome. Very patient and extremely helpful. Think I heard someone call her Mia. Thank you

Fantastic donuts! Super friendly staff. Great coffee. Best donuts on the Southern Tier Cross country bicycle route!!

My friends highly recommend Sugar Rush. I'm thinking they oversold it. Nothing wrong with Sugar Rush. I was just set up to have a higher ecpectation, this the 3 star rating.

Their donuts are great and their sandwich 's are even between and they have any kind of flavor drink you can make up and the service is Great!!!!!!!

The employees are very friendly and the donuts were very good. Will definitely be back.

Excellent donuts! Excellent service! I am glad we found this place. A well deserved 5 star.

Excellent service and delicious donuts. Got carried away and accidently ate the whole dozen. No regrets

Cute lil place with friendly service. Everyone seems to love their donuts, but I'm not a fan.
