Charleston’s Hottest New Donut Shop is on John’s Island – Your Mom’s Donuts
Your Mom’s Donuts, home to two locations in Charlotte, NC, has opened their third location on John’s Island, SC at 3157 Maybank Hwy, offering crazy and creative square treats with both sweet and savory flavors ranging from Bananas Foster and Chocolate Espresso Cheesecake to Blackberry Cornmeal (made with blackberries from the John’s Island Farmers Market) and Pimento Cheese.
When she’s not managing her rockstar team of bakers, Courtney can be found homeschooling her three kids (she’s a single mom and truly does it all), walking her six dogs, or tending to her 8 horses that she boards on her property.
Ever since moving to the Charlotte area in 2005, Courtney worked to connect local farms to restaurants that were in search of a better product. That work helped her create the relationships she needed to source her ingredients for her donuts from farmers and purveyors who mimic her philosophy of sustainability and quality.
Her donuts are all crafted with locally sourced ingredients like strawberries, blueberries and watermelon from local farms such as Fireant Farms and Wishbone Heritage Farms. If you ask Courtney one thing that matters to her more than anything- it’s community. She lives and breathes it.
