Big Apple Donuts & Cafe

Big Apple Donuts & Cafe is a family-owned spot known for handmade gourmet donuts made fresh daily, with a variety of fillings you can pick from a filling station. The menu also covers made-to-order breakfast sandwiches on a croissant, bagel, kaiser roll or toast, plus a Philly cheesesteak that the shop brings back for local regulars. A barista bar serves coffee, lattes, smoothies and bubble tea, and the cafe describes itself as a one-stop shop for breakfast and coffee.

The shop takes pickup and delivery orders through its website, and customized donut orders can be placed by phone. Hours run Tuesday through Sunday from 6 AM to 2 PM, and Mondays are closed. There are two locations, one on West Butler Road in Mauldin and another on Wade Hampton Boulevard in Taylors, so check which one you plan to visit.
