Sunrise doughnuts has the best Apple Fritter money can buy. This comes from a doughnut professional. Make sure to get there early or they will sell out! read more

There's not a ton of old fashion donut shops around. I've been to Sunrise Doughnuts twice now when picking up donuts for the office. It's tucked away in a strip mall, blink and you'll miss the entrance. Make sure you get there early as they do sell out. During my last visit I ordered on a Friday morning around 7am. I hand selected two dozen donuts and the employee working was friendly and helpful. I was a little shocked to see that my total was $45 but it is what it is. The glaze donuts are a staple and the filled jelly was also a winner. I wish I was able to try a bunch of them but how many donuts can one person eat?! I would love to see a couple options of donut holes but it's possible I missed them during my visit. I'll continue to stop in for special occasions for the team. read more

I stop here regularly in the morning for a couple of donuts and enjoy them every time.

It was good and average. Kinda fresh. Not great, not bad. No wait at all and immediate service.

I love this place. Every time I'm in the Twin Cities, I make a point to stop by for donuts and coffee. Paul, the owner, is a great guy. Highly recommend this shop. read more

Very saddening, I saw all the photos online and was super excited to try. I get here and they are completely sold out of raised donuts by 9:35 AM. They're open until noon, but didn't bake anymore. I don't see longevity within this establishment due to lack of fulfillment. They old had cake donuts left. read more

Sunrise Doughnuts - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

A nice quiet and clean donut shop tucked in a corner of a small strip mall in Bloomington. Found this place by accident when going to Chan Oriental Market for Asian groceries. Prices are reasonable and friendly service. Although, the donuts have a strong oil smell and taste. This is the only place I could find that has real peanuts on maple glazed donuts which are my husband's most favorite kind. read more

Was recommended while I was in town visiting as I like to find local donut shops. This place did not disappoint. They have a wide variety to choose from and the gentleman behind the counter was very very nice to me and my daughter. I would definitely go back to this place. Check it out if you are in the area you won't regret it. read more

I love finding new donut shops to check out. This one's been on my list for a while! So glad I went to check it out! They have a good variety of flavors and styles. Cake, raised, jelly filled, cream filled, you name it. I went at 630am and there were plenty of options...however they do close early if they sell out! I ordered the Bavarian cream filled, the maple glazed long John, and a white frosted cake donut (can't go wrong there!). All were so good. They had blueberry glazed, coconut shaved topping, strawberry filled, Apple fritters, so many options that I NEED to go back and try! read more

Sunrise Doughnuts - three different flavors of doughnuts - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I use to come here years ago and it was quite good. Airy light doughnuts . However I was disappointed in picking out my go to treat. My glazed doughnut was thick and heavy. Looking through the cases there wasn't much of a selection, but in all fairness they were closing in an hour . read more

I can't believe I've never reviews this place! Maybe bc they run out of donuts sometimes. I've bought the last half dozen more than once. So I guess maybe I should take away a star bc you cannot count on getting a donut here. But when you do come early...the staff is so nice. The yellow walls are cheerful. The donuts are AMAZING. read more

Best doughnuts in the Twin Cities! And NOT closed as someone falsely stated below!! Better than Bogarts, Glam Doll, and other popular places. read more

Sunrise Doughnuts - Glazed Old Fashioned - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

I grew up in Bloomington, and Sunrise has always been a staple doughnut shop for me! I've stopped in for a single donut and or have bought 5+ dozen at a time for a big event - regardless of my circumstances Sunrise Doughnuts are always fresh and so yummy. Sunrise is a small family owned shop who make their own doughnuts fresh every day. Their variety is huge in terms of shape, flavor, and filling. My personal favorite is their cherry frosting donut! Definitely a place you should stop by when in the area. I will continue to go out of my way to come here for doughnuts! read more

Overrated and overpriced for the quality of the 2 donuts I ate. The cake donut and the raised custard-filled donut were disappointingly flavorless. Enough said. read more

The best donuts in the Twin Cities IMO! Love this small, family run place. Everyone is so nice. Donuts are super tasty! Open till the donuts run out- get there early! read more

Hidden on the side of a strip mall is this gem of a bakery. This is the type of place that closes at noon or closes earlier if they sell out. It's a very simple interior with just a couple tables to enjoy your treats, most people grab and go. The donuts are flavorful and you always can count on finding something you like. The staff are so kind and helpful. I am all about service and this place goes above and beyond. read more

This is a sweet little place (pun intended). I love that they open early, like a donut shop should. The variety of donuts is wonderful, basically any kind of donut I've enjoyed before I saw at this place. The donuts were fresh, the frosting delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. I got my favorite, an old-fashioned with chocolate frosting. My advice is to go early, while they are as fresh as can be, and enjoy your morning treat. Next time I want to try one of their apple fritters. They looked perfect! read more

I'm a fist time customer! I love the donuts! You now have a customer for life! The apple fritters are sooooo good! read more

Sunrise Doughnuts - Mmmmm! Look at this wonderful goodness! Brand new customer for life! Love this donut shop! - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

What a great find! I was grabbing donuts for a group and the service was great. The donuts are tasty ... especially the chocolate bismark! The apple fritter looked amazing and could probably serve two people. Tip - park by their sign and walk into the little courtyard - their door is on the left if you are facing the shopping center. read more

Nothing fancy here, just some of the best plain honest donuts I've come across anywhere.

Now that we don't live in Minneapolis, we had to find a new donut spot that was close. FOUND IT! Sunrise has great donuts - highly recommend. They are the perfect consistency. Big fan of the jelly filled donuts. Simple donuts done right. Delicious. read more

Good doughnuts, but get there early if you want a good selection! It was pretty measly by the time I got there last Sunday (around 11am). They only had about 4 kinds left (all cake doughnuts) and lots of maple. The glazed doughnut balls I ordered were my favorite. The staff was super nice and the shop was full of patrons enjoying their coffee and doughnuts. Check Sunrise out if you are in the area! read more

Super tasty donuts! Perfect little spot to enjoy a treat! The donuts were fresh and the place definitely had a good vibe. Appreciate a small business with homemade goods. read more

This shop has all the good stuff! Speciality donuts and a great welcoming environment. This has been our weekend donut spot for quite some time now! read more

Best customer service ever - excellent!! Extra large, amazing Apple fritters and the raised sugar was so big and fluffy and yummy! In a strip mall with a sign up on front but location is not facing the road - don't miss it!! Highly recommend. read more

Sunrise Doughnuts is about as no-frills as you can get for a donut shop. You won't find any strips of bacon or sugary cereal on top of your donuts here, just the essentials. For what it is, they're a pretty good choice to go with too. I stopped in on a Friday morning to pick up two dozen assorted donuts for the office. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and really helpful making the large order go easy. I told him I basically just wanted a good mix of everything and he then went to town. Managed to pack them all nicely in one box too. The Twin Cities has dozens of different donut places to pick from. I wouldn't say Sunrise Doughnuts is one of my favorites, but they're definitely not bad, and I would stop in again if given the chance. read more

The door is hard to find yes, but it's worth the 5 second search. Awesome to have a local donut shop, no gimmicks, just good ole donuts, good flavor, soft warm sugary tounge hugs. read more

I enjoyed this little shop. The apple fritter was $2.50, and it was huge!!! It's about the size of 4 fritters. I was only able to eat half of it, but I thought the donut itself was good. Not the most amazing fritter I have ever had(best one was in PHX and that was a perfect fritter), but this was was good. The dough was soft, and the fritter wasn't super greasy, which was nice. The glaze was tasty! I would definitely come back for this fritter. The reg glazed donut was ok, but I thought the fritter was far superior to the glazed donut. Check these people out, y'all! read more

High hopes for this place, as we've been disappointed in our search for a good, classic doughnut shop. Walked in the door on a Wednesday morning at 8am and an extensive selection of doughnuts awaited looking just like the old school donut shops I love. Daughter and I each ordered a sugar raised, the baseline for all good doughnuts. We toasted our doughnuts and took our first bite... delicious! The doughnut was nicely raised, squooshed down and popped up, light texture, fresh, not too sweet. Next I tried the plain old fashioned - just the right amount of crispy outside and nutmeggy flavor. Lastly had to go with the powdered sugar lemon bismark, which was everything you would expect, super fresh donut with classic lemon filling. Daughter also ordered an iced long john and a glazed. Her highly sensitive palate detected a slight weird aftertaste. This was not noticed by me as I was happily savoring my new favorite, Sunrise doughnuts. The one staff person was happy and helpful. The ~8 inside tables were all clean. We sat outside to eat and viewed a steady stream of customers also enjoying these time-honored pleasures. So glad we found this place! P.S. The French crullers are not currently available due to some weird issue related to the Avian flu outbreak and the eggs in the special flour used in crullers. Could be 6 months until this is resolved. read more

Phenomenal service and amazing donuts!! We went on a Saturday to find a chipper employee who was enthusiastic about service and baking. We purchased an array of different donuts and they were all freshly made and tasted great. Highly recommend! read more

LOVE this place. Delicious donuts, fun casual vibe, and inexpensive. Whenever we're looking for a donut run and don't want to haul all the way to Eagan for Puffy Cream Donuts, this is our stop. They don't do anything wild or crazy, but what they do they do WELL. And that's far more important to me. read more

Really awesome doughnuts here! Fairly priced, great quality and delicious unlike some doughnut places that have way too much stuff on it and can be over priced. Sunrise keeps it real! The shop is located in the little plaza strip mall and is literally tucked in the center of it. Great location in Bloomington not to mention it's only less than 4 mins away from my home! They have doughnuts in all shapes, FLAVORS and sizes! We usually get the traditional glazed, cinnamon twists, cake doughnuts and the maples. The glazes are to DIE for and are super close to K Kremes. Not dry at all they are perfectly raised and not overly sweet. I recommend getting there EARLY if you have a preferred doughnut, don't get there at 11:30 am on the weekends, nothing will be left! The only downers I'd have to say is that they are only open til 1 pm, wish they'd stay open til 8 pm, there are people who like doughnuts at night too! Also they have a credit card minimum :( Other than that this is THE doughnut place ! read more

Sunrise Doughnuts - Perfect doughnuts ! - Bakeries Near Me - Bloomington, Minnesota

Very good taste. Fresh made. Better than any other in the area. Hidden Gem. Highly recommend.

I'm another old-schooler on the donuts, and this place hits the spot. I keep trying these new, hyped up places that are trying to reinvent the wheel, or donut as it may be, and they just don't really do it for me. The place reminds me of the donut shop we went to when I was a kid. They've got fritters, old fashioneds, cake donuts, bismarks, raised donuts and long johns. i've heard rumors of crullers but they must have been sold out when I was there. If you like blueberry and you like cake donuts, an especially if you like blueberry cake donuts, you HAVE to get one here. Honestly hands down the best one I've ever had. My mom agrees. I had to go back in to grab once since we forgot in the original order. My mom and I split it and all I could think of was that I had secretly bought 2, so I'd have another one all to myself for later. Yes! Loved the cake donuts and especially the old fashioned, it was really tasty. The custard filled bismark was good as well, but nothing spectacular. It's a slight step up from the custard filled bismarks at Cub, which aren't bad themselves. I didn't try the apple fritter but according to my tester, it wasn't super apple-y. He didn't taste any apple bits that you get some other places, and he prefers the whole thing a little more crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. He still prefers the ones at Cub, which I have to admit aren't bad either. I'll be sure to go back for more cake and old fashion donuts in the future. Customer service was great, the guy was very friendly. When you go in the strip mall the store is kind of easy to miss. Right in the middle of the Great Bear Strip Mall there is a gap in the buildings with almost a courtyard and the donut shop is in there, not facing the street on the main strip. So if you spot the Sunrise Doughnuts sign and then see a different business right below it on the front of the strip mall (it's a dry cleaner or laundromat or something) don't panic. Look behind that place and you'll see the donut shop. read more

I reviewed this little "church of the holy donut" spot last year but felt it deserved another shout out. Tucked away in the back of a strip mall in Bloomington near Lyndale/90th this place never disappoints. If you want nasty, grocery store or gas station donuts, then by all means stop reading and go there. If, on the other hand, you want inspiring, tasty, cakey doughnuts made with love and hard work, this is your Sunrise moment. There's something for everyone here. Not fancy, not tryna be something it's not. Sunrise has been here like oh gosh forever. Family owned, the Sunrise staff is up early, daily makin em fresh....when they are gone, they are gone which explains why sometimes they close earlier than posted times. That's ok with me! I'm an old fashioned kinda guy so that along with the apple fritter are my "go to's". Crispy outside, kinda moist inside and not overly greasy....vanilla pleases the palate. And for the fritter, chunky pieces of apple and well placed sprinkles of cinnamon do complete donut justice. While Sunrise feeds the masses of walk ins, they do a robust catering/ pick up business. It's not unusual to see dozens of large donut orders in clean white boxes lined up and stacked sometimes 2 or 3 high waiting to go. Awesome donuts, friendly service. Coffee is good too. Done. read more

Made the commute out here to try some donuts and the place was closed. Nothing on social media indicated it would be closed. Yelp, Facebook, and Google all indicated the shop was currently open today. Hours posted on the door said they should be open when we went (we arrived at noon, they're supposedly open until 1 on Saturdays). A couple other people clearly didn't know they were supposed to be closed, as they went and tried the door before we did. If a place is going to be closed during regular business hours it's important to make that clear on social media, websites, etc. I know some donut places will close early if they sell out but that was not indicated anywhere on their page either (Glam Doll and Sleepy V's make this apparent on their websites). The fact that this was out of our way is frustrating and makes me not want to come back. I hope Sunrise will be more transparent in the future if they intend on closing during regular business hours. read more

The shopping center doesn't look like much from the outside, but tucked around the corner is the cutest donut shop. Currently they are allowing fives guests in at a time to wait in line and order. Serve was speedy for a one man operation. My favorite was the glazed twist yeast donut. Light and sweet! I also tried a blueberry cake donut which was also excellent. The apple fritter was not my favorite, maybe a little raw on the inside but seeing other pictures I think it was just the batch. Overall I will definitely be back! read more

Amazing apple fritter and an ice cold milk! Haven't tasted something that in a long time. Crispy yet soft in the inside. Glaze was perfect! read more

We stopped in to Sunrise Doughnuts for the first time on our way out of town at the onset of a road trip. Excited by the screaming Yelp reviews, we thought this would quickly become a new staple of ours. Disclaimer: we really love doughnuts. However, the doughnuts we purchased did not live up to the hype. The one standout was the blueberry cake doughnut. If I were rating that doughnut alone, I would give it a 4.5. The other two doughnuts we got were the apple fritter and a standard raised glazed. So very disappointing. I would give the raised glazed a 1. The apple fritter was a bit better, but I wouldn't rate it higher than a 2.5. Both of these doughnuts were far too cakey, and the fritter had virtually no "crunch". The price was good, but we would prefer to pay a little more for better food. With all of this said, the man who served us was a delight - we felt welcomed and appreciated. The service was definitely a 5. read more

Best donuts in the Twin Cities. Get there early as they sell out. (Any really good donut place sells out before closing!)
