Sugar Rush Donut Co

Sugar Rush is the best if you want hand-​made delicious donuts. The employees are so friendly and helpful. This place is one you can’t miss out on when visiting Mobile, AL.

This is the best donut shop in Mobile! Krispy Kreme can’t even compete. The staff are always friendly and the donuts are literally the fluffiest donuts I’ve ever had– and they’re sweet but not overly sweet! And of course, supporting your local businesses is always a plus.

Your experience will begin with the ease of parking right in front of the door. This adorable mom and pop shop is one of my favorites to take out of town guests because the donuts are so unique and fresh. Hard to pick my favorite but must say we always select the apple fritter to share, conecuh sausage donut, cream filled, bacon maple and lots of donut holes for the ride home. We love them all. If you are going to splurge sugar rush is the only worthy place for donuts.

So delicious. When I have my niece we go as a treat. I would also stop on the way to work and get a dozen for me and my coworkers. Friendly staff and I love some of the unique flavors they have.

I was looking for a place to pick up some donuts for an early meeting and this was the recommended place up the road by fellow Unilocalers.
Family run place, not big, but fresh donuts, and a great selection. They had a bacon maple glaze I had to get for some, and they were delicious.!! Nice staff/​manager gets you in and out like we all like to do– and this is the go to place for donuts. Emailed my receipt and I was in and out with bag in hand in less than 5 minutes. Great customer service. just what I like. A true well managed gem.

Sugar Rush Donuts have the BEST donuts in Mobile! The chocolate iced, cinnamon glaze and regular glazed are my favorites although all the other donuts I’ve tried are delicious too. We took a few dozen to a friends for the Alabama game and they were a HUGE hit! We had a large variety and there were not one bad donut in the bunch. We had no problem convincing everyone to take some home for breakfast in the morning. They were just as fresh and delicious the next day! If you haven’t tried them yet you must! Do not expect them to be like Krispy Kreme, they are more substantial and won’t leave you in a diabetic coma. To me they are 10x better!

In a strip shopping center, but don’t let the small space fool you. The food is excellent and the people are great. The owner is always in there helping out and wiping things down. The atmosphere is relaxing and the boys who work there are always listening to their choice of music, which puts them in a good mood. You can tell that they enjoy working there and the attitude is passed on via good customer service. The owner thanked us for coming in (we usually go at least once per week), which is something I would never hear at a chain do-​nut shop. If you haven’t tried it, you should!

We are training in Mobile and I wanted to bring the support crew a treat for all their help. Found the shop in a strip mall after looking at reviews on Unilocal.I truly love supporting local establishments and this is one shop you shouldn’t miss. Great selection, great customer service, fresh products, delicious!!! Now if I could only find a good NYC bagel shop in town :(
Enjoy!
Just bought another 4 dozen FRESH donuts. These are the best! Hand made not like their neighbor grocery store. I will miss you!

So just to start out, I am from the Houston area, well a suburb of Houston… an area that has more donut shoppes then they do McDonalds. I’ve been to a plethora of donut shoppes, with all very different types of donuts. Sugar rush does has some very good donuts, and some that are just ok. They are pretty big, nicely decorated, have a good texture, and for the most part pretty good. Some of them are a bit too sweet for my liking, and I feel like I may be pre-​diabetic after consuming, but hey, it’s a donut. This location seemed to have less of a variety then the midtown location, and like the midtown location, they are a bit pricey in my opinion. I understand they look pretty and taste good, but $ 4.50 (roughly) for two donuts is a bit high in my opinion. The price alone would probably keep me from coming too often as I don’t really care to spend that much on donuts. However, you don’t have too much competition in the area, which works in their favor.
Clean store, nice/​attentive staff and good donuts overall.
Update: I can’t speak for the exact prices of the other donuts, such as glaze and donut holes and such, but I bought a chocolate iced donut with pecans on top, along with a maple iced donut with Heath on top, and for those two it was $ 4.50. So that is just my experience.

Bear in mind, I’ve made donuts for a living before. These donuts look fantastic — but for me, the taste isn’t there. They skimp on the glaze and frosting, and the worst is the apple fritters don’t seem to have very much apple in them, if any. I’ve had two — in case the first one was just an accident, but they were missing apple and only barely had a taste of cinnamon in them.
Beautiful donuts — just need to not water down the glaze.

Our first donut experience since moving to Mobile… we’d heard a lot about this place from family and friends. Showed up soon after they opened on Saturday morning and were greeted by the unsmiling face of a college kid not in the mood to work, much less associate with kids. When you don’t even acknowledge my little boy after he tries to say hey, you aren’t going to be on my good side.
Very little help from behind the counter and didn’t see prices listed anywhere… these donuts are WAY overpriced. We tried some normal ones (hard to mess up twists and donut holes) and some of the more «gourmet» donuts. German chocolate cake donut was actually really good. The lemon poppy seed was mediocre at best (no real lemon flavor at all), the maple bacon was good, but only because we’re fans of bacon (no maple flavor whatsoever) and the cinnamon roll was okay.
Overall, sure, we’ll come back in because we believe in supporting local businesses more than chains (and we like donuts). But, if we don’t have a better experience, we’ll happily do business elsewhere.

My son gave me a bacon covered donut. So Good I need to go see what else I can try. Our granddaughter loves the donut holes.

The best donuts you will find in the city of Mobile, no question. The maple-​nut is my favorite. DONUTS FOREVER

Breakfast dessert!
Stopped by to get a dozen donuts to take to work.
My co-​workers and my mouth thanked me for the treats!
The price was very reasonable
$ 10 for a dozen mixed donuts.

Such a great shop! Mobile is lucky to have another Sugar Rush location open up closer to downtown Mobile at the Loop. I love their homemade donuts –apple fritters –king cakes –birthday doughnuts. This location has a huge clean sitting area. They try new flavor combinations all the time and we are the lucky ones that get to eat them. This location is great for all the Vendors that bring goodies to the hospitals

Hard to find… worth the search… WOW!.. try the bacon maple syrup or the apple fritter… talk to the people who are pleasant… modest and helpful… clearly a new standard for this area. Krispy Cream is good… this is a different level and makes things like Dunkin Doughnuts purely fast food… Enjoy…remember.they are closed Mondays and have very early hours… but close early… check the hours… and get directions to find them… but it is worth it…

I had high expectations before trying out Sugar Rush donuts. All of my fellow Unilocalers gave them 5 stars saying it was the «best» donut ever!
This shop is located in a run down strip mall, but parking is ample. My first thought walking in here is that is was a small place, only 4 — 2 top tables. I expected a sweet bakery smell but that didn’t exist. All of the different varieties blew my mind, but made it more complicated to choose.
One perc was that I «checked in» while I was in the parking lot and got a free donut for doing so… YAY Unilocal!
My wife ordered a glazed donut and a chocolate covered cake donut, I ordered a chocolate covered kruller and the maple bacon donut. Our first thought was for being made by hand fresh daily they were not moist/​fresh, all 4 donuts were hard… almost seemed like day old donuts. They are very filling, you will need a lot of milk to flush these down.
Sorry fellow Unilocalers, in my opinion they aren’t the best donut I have ever had. I didn’t like the way the staff stared at you while you are trying to make a decision on an order. They could’ve at least described some of the flavors (AWKWARD). They only accept cash and did not even have napkins.
I gave three stars for being original and the large selection, the donuts were good just not great. I did like the free donut for just checking in.

Best donuts in Mobile! Definitely worth our trip from midtown. Just go. better than any other donut place you’ve been. Bring cash.

Only a day or two after my husband said he wished we could find a great old school donut shop, someone suggested Sugar Rush.
We walked in to this tiny little store front with a few small tables and a fairly small display. I’m sure my eyes were huge when I saw all the donut deliciousness in front of me. Started by a guy from Bayou le Batre, and he had as many ways to make donuts as Bubba has to make shrimp. I wanted to try one of each, but since I wasn’t wearing my stretchy pants, I just ordered the strawberry cheesecake donut. The hubs had a German chocolate and a maple bacon and my sons had the Boston Crème and turtle donuts. Holy cow! I can honestly say these are the best donuts we’ve ever had!
This is definitely worth the drive across the bay and past the two Dunkins. This place hasn’t been around forever, but I sure hope it stays around for the rest of my life. Yumm-​yumm!

The address is wrong! It’s next to Jerusalem Café (time for you to reroute as you’re reading this). The seating area is gross. Enjoy your doughnut elsewhere. The donuts come in fantastic flavors so take advantage of that. I got to try the red velvet flavor and the sugar donut.
Doughnuts are cheap and the service is friendly. Just like every other bakery and doughnut establishment, the employees awkwardly stare down at you intensively while you try to decide and never take their eyes off you for one moment.
