Rise Biscuits Donuts opens today at 1507 Woodruff Rd, and it’s going to have everything you need for the breakfast of your dreams: gourmet donuts, biscuit sandwiches, and hashpuppies (but more about those later).

A little history: Rise Biscuits Donuts started in Durham, and how has 11 locations in N.C. Our new location is the first in South Carolina, so count yourself double lucky when you’re scarfing down one of their chocolate chocolate cake donuts. 😋

But before you plan your cheat day, there are a few terms you need to know:

Hashpuppies: the perfect jumbo tater tots, made even better with Cheddar cheese
Coconut Snowball: no, not the Twinkie – a donut filled with coconut pudding, covered in coconut icing and flakes
Righteous Chicken: what you’ll be calling it after you try the Saucy Wisconsin sandwich 🌶

When you walk in, you’ll see the go-to staples: sprinkles, raspberry jelly, chocolate iced. Then you get to treat yourself with one of their rotating specials (if you’re like us, you’ll be stopping in weekly to check for new flavors). We got a pro tip to look out for these in the coming weeks: Pineapple Upside Down, Bananas Foster Cake, Banana Pudding + Carrot Cake donuts.

Not the choosy type? Go for The Daily Dozen: the chef’s pick of 12 donuts, no substitutions. Grab a box for the office and everyone will find something up their alley.

So you’ve got a donut + coffee and you’re all set for the day ahead. But Rise isn’t just breakfast – have your meetings over a lamb slider (and a maple bacon bar, no one’s judging), or grab weekend brunch somewhere that won’t break the bank (but is still Instagram-worthy). 🍩

Keep up with the sugary goodness over on Instagram @risewoodruffrd and check their online menu for rotating specials (or just to daydream about donuts).
