    maple, jelly, blueberry, and glazed twist doughnuts.

    This sweet cafe tucked into sleepy Port Royal has so much to offer. Fresh doughnuts, sweet ice cream, and unique gifts; you can't go wrong here. My doughnuts are still warm and ready to be enjoyed on this chilly weekend morning. The cafe is clean and makes you feel like you stepped into a home. Thank you Maynard's!

    Could not say enough about this place! The service, the adorable space and the DONUTS !!! I've gone back multiple times since this photo. The owners are the best!

    Local owned ice cream and donuts shop in Port Royal. They make the donuts there not sure about the ice cream but I can say the dark chocolate ice cream was good. They also had had coffee and hot chocolate when we were there Good stuff: 1. Donuts were good - the donuts we had were less cakey more like a sweet krispy cream style. 2. Ice cream was good- not sure if they make it or order it 3. Service was good- respectful and attentive Not so good stuff: 1. Nothing Extra info: 1. A lot of Parking along the street- free 2. Beautiful walk through the older town 3. It is small inside -- seating is limited but there is some seating outside and a beautiful park you can walk to and eat If you want a donut or ice cream drop by and then go for a walk around the small town or park

    Their donuts are delicious

    Whew! The donuts here are exceptional! I'd give my left arm for some of their chocolate that covers the donuts. Today I also had that chocolate on a brownie. Oh.my.word. Here is the deal: -they can and will sell out of the donuts each day. -Check FB for their daily selection before going. -They also have ice cream, Popsicles (locally made by another entrepreneur), kettle corn (the bomb.com and also made by another entrepreneur, macaroons, merch., and more I love that they support other local entrepreneurs and are super friendly. I got 6 donuts/baked goods for around $12. I feel like this is reasonable because everything is locally made. Oh, another plus? Veteran-owned! business!

    Between two people, this is what we did not eat.  Just an incredibly tasteless and dry red velvet donut.

    We love seeing Port Royal bloom with new local businesses and Maynard's was one we hadn't visited. Saturday morning we were on our way to Bluffton so we decided to stop in for their donuts. The selection was meh. We ordered a glazed yeast donut and a glazed red velvet cake one. The plain donut was OK. The red velvet tasted of only sugar. The second I broke it apart so I could share the sweet, I could tell it didn't have a moist crumb. It was so dry, with no discernible chocolate flavor. For $3 a donut, we shook our heads in disappointment. No, we will not return.

    I LOVE great donuts. I've had some of the best donuts in the world. In my opinion, Texas has the best, with Denver coming in a close second. THE BEST donuts in the low country is Maynard's Ice Cream & Cafe. a Cozy cafe, that has both HAND DIPPED ice cream, soda's, but UNBELIEVABLE DONUTS!! The hours can be tricky, so I advise you call to see if they're open. They're currently getting ready to expand, and extend their hours. You just want to sit down and eat great donuts. I've had donuts from a competitor which were good, however the mix wasn't just right. But, Maynards wins hands down! My suggestion, get a dozen, head down the street to "THE SANDS BEACH" and watch the dolphins as you're enjoying these great donuts! on my MUST VISIT LIST! Enjoy, CHEF GARY CURRY

    Stopped in for a little ice cream snack and iced coffee on this hot day. This place is so cute!!! The staff were so incredibly friendly and happy. I ordered a scoop of the toasted coconut ice cream and the banana cream pie ice cream. AMAZING. This little cafe is on a cute little road with a lot of restaurants and shops. So glad I stopped here!

    Walking distance to some great rentals in Port Royal with delicious shakes, cones, and some amazing baked goods. Nice old time - meets modern conveniences/hipster vibe. As this establishment is under new ownership, do make sure to update the phone number throughout the web moving forward to avoid annoying the woman who picked up our call.

    Most delicious and creamy ice cream in town
