Our Story

Duffers Donuts was founded by Shawn and Kathryn Garrison with a shared belief: if you're going to do something every day, it should be done thoughtfully.

Inspired by coastal mornings, neighborhood routines, and the places where people naturally gather, Duffers was created to be more than a donut shop. It's a place where regulars are known, mornings feel unhurried, and quality is never compromised.

Kathryn set the culinary direction for Duffers with a clear philosophy — fresh ingredients, clean processes, and as much made in-house as possible. She personally selected and built the chef team responsible for executing that vision every day, ensuring everything from donut toppings to coffee syrups is made in-house with intention and care. No shortcuts. No unnecessary additives. Just honest food, made fresh.

Shawn brings the same level of intention to the coffee. A lifelong coffee enthusiast, he's deeply involved in sourcing, roasting, and brewing coffee that's balanced, expressive, and approachable — the kind of coffee you look forward to every morning.

Duffers is built on care, craft, and community. We're proud to serve Mount Pleasant and to create something that feels both elevated and familiar — a place you'll want to come back to again and again.
