Arrived at 6:35 AM FRI, NOV 2 after reading great reviews drove across town to find. Entered shop, no one spoke to us, we decided to wash hands before ordering since appeared to be an in and out shop. Bottle of disposable soap almost empty in ladies room, not a single paper towel either in the holder nor on the empty role sitting on top. I shook off water and grabbed napkins from counter and told the girl ( brunette, serving counter and drive thru and watching her son ). She acknowledged and nodding said, "yes". I then asked her if she had decaf coffee ( my dad can only drink decaf) She said "no". I said, " you don't have any decaf?". She said "no, only regular coffee". Then, my dad came out of the men's room having had same issues, no paper towels but said some soap in disposable dispenser. He too had to grab napkins to dry his hands. So, I looked at the same woman again and said, "there are no paper towels in the men's or women's bathrooms." She again acknowledged me and said " yes". Okay, so she's clearly aware there are no towels in either restroom. Since none of the of donuts are labeled we were asking about a few and she said she had to take care of person in drive thru. So, no decaf, no paper towels and no effort to give us paper towels or offer to make decaf, or tell us what donuts are available. Maybe this place doesn't stock decaf which is odd, we'll never know. My dad and I just looked at each other and agreed to leave. As we exited a man walked in. And we saw the restaurant next door. While in the parking lot, we saw this same woman get into her van carrying a white box (yummy donuts?) with her son and speed off. Perhaps to get him to school but is clear she could have cared less she lost two customers nor made any effort what so ever to assist us or attend to us as customers . So she clearly knows that there are no towels in either bathroom , almost empty soap dispenser in women's, no desire to wait on us and is blatantly clear to me there is a lack of cleaning and maintenance. Having all that said I can't comment on donuts, never got to try one and never will. I'll never go back and will make others aware. An A...
Read moreI used to go to donut shop every morning before work. And grab a coffee and order of donut holes for months. The coffee was always almost burnt to where I use to have to bring my own creamer because they don’t like to share their French vanilla creamer. The cup use to be half filled but I didnt care much because I’m not a real coffee drinker anyway but I never really got my money worth but being the fact it was convenient to go by there before work it really didn’t matter about the amount of coffee I paid for… so one morning I was rushing to get my kids to school on time n out the blue I decided to stop by and order my usual n I forgot my wallet n everything at the house so while in the drive thru I waited at the window to tell the lady never-mind with my order she took too long to come back to the window so I left. N mind u it was only an order of Donut holes ($2 and something) so the next time to decided to stop by before work they told me they can no longer take my order because I pull off two time …. I was like over a($5) order I could have paid you for that but they don’t care about customers you can go to these people everyday and give them your money n they can short u over n over n one you have come up...
Read moreLickin' Good Donuts definitely reminds me of the mom and pop's owned Donut shops in California that to this day I still have a special place in my heart for.
It was a 30 minute drive from our home to get to the small town of Clinton, SC and it was and is absolutely worth it for these. I'm not going to waste your or my time telling you how good these are or how friendly and welcoming the owners are. You will have to go there and experience it for yourself. Now if the drive is too far then your are in luck!! I was told they will be opening a location in Simpsonville, SC next to the Bi-Lo on Main St. and 14.
For now just enjoy these pictures and try no to salivate all over...
