| - Stopped by Sweet Dough this morning to pick up some donuts! Before going there I checked out their website and noticed they had a create your own donut, very similar to Duck Donuts (hate to compare, but I love DD). So I came into Sweet Dough to order a dozen create your own donuts. They had a case of donuts already made so you don't have to be overwhelmed with creating your own.
The staff was friendly, but they seemed alarmed and excited at the same time that I wanted to create my own dozen. I got donuts from maple bacon, peanut butter and chocolate, lemon strawberry, vanilla cookies and cream, to chocolate caramel glaze. I brought them to our office and they were well liked.
I have to say though, after having Duck Donuts with a similar setup, they are far inferior to Duck (a coworker agreed). I am not a fan of cake Donuts, but Duck and Sweet Dough have cake based donuts. I don't like cake because of that sticky top of the mouth after taste. Duck's does not have that after taste, Sweet Dough does. -1. With toppings, Duck has it plentiful - example, the maple bacon, bacon is covering the donut fully. Here, couple scattered about. -2.
+1 for being local donut shop, +1 for all of the options, +1 for friendly fun staff. It was fun to check out, but honestly, I would rather drive out the way for Duck in Charlotte or on my side of Fort Mill, I'm close to Rise for a close donut craving.
Best of luck to Sweet Dough!
