    Donuts!
    Yakkul X.

    I was just passing thru, but wish I could make this a regular spot to support. The service was friendly and really good, a very mom & pops or friendly neighborhood feel. I was here at sundown one day and then again at sunrise the very next day before leaving town. The people that come by seem to be friendlies with the old folks servicing here and I think that's a great thing. Perhaps it's been awhile since I've been aware of these donut pop-ups and their hours, but I can't believe they open til midnight and then re-open at 5AM. Give this place a shot. This spot reminds me to support my local business.

    This donut shop has been here since I can remember. I use to work for another donut shop delivering donuts to this shop, I would say probably in 1987-88. Thing is, I never bought a donut from here till a couple days ago. The shop has easy access to get to, It's right off the freeway, the issue is traffic. But I finally decided to hit it up because it was early Saturday morning with no traffic. When I got there it was busy, very good, I like to see a business with lots of customers. The shop employees were very friendly with all customers. Their donuts looked yummy and big and they were running out. I was also surprised that the prices weren't expensive as other donut shops. But... these donuts tasted a little dry or old, they were good but just didn't hit it off as the donut shops I frequent. No matter, they get a 5 star for prices, size and customer service.

    If you think that Slo O Dough is the best donut place in the north county, think again. Sunshine donuts incorporates the freshness of a bun tag teamed with a soft and sweet glaze and each of their baked goods. I recommend going in the morning and ordering a maple bar with mango Boba. No line wait as well as great customer service.

It was more of a sweet treat than a source of caffeine though, and I had to grab a coffee elsewhere afterwards. I do wish they had more coffee options than this smoothie and drip. My friend and I ordered two blue corn waffles to share - the Morro Melt and Avila Avo. These were so filling, we definitely should've just shared one! I loved the texture of the corn waffle and the melty havarti cheese with caramelized onion. My friends enjoyed their waffles as well, including the San Luis Sunrise. Service was friendly and quick, and everyone left happy!

So I went into the Smoothies place to check it out, oh and write a review as I wait. Cozy as it gets with the friendly staff, actually looked like they enjoy the job and human interactions. I asked for a Mango something smoothie but no pineapple, be creative. The place has a good variety of drinks and edibles, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, and on and on. If you don't see it they would probably make it for you. Now granted I was the only order being made at this moment and my smoothie was delivered to me as I sat at the bistro table out front. I was surprised how flavorful the smoothie was, I don't know why I thought that but it did taste good, a bit pricy. I'm good with pricy and this was backed up with quality ingredients and stellar service. Ah...yes and supporting local business is good for everyone Thanks, I'll see you again! Foodguy-Martin

They offer bobas, milk teas and smoothies along with frozen yogurt with plenty of options for toppings. It seems like the flavors change from time to time. SERVICE: The man who helped me was very welcoming and nice. The service was quick (although I was the only customer during my visit) but I feel like there wouldn't be a great wait even with multiple customers. AMBIANCE: Small mom and pop shop. There are little stools with a bar counter, tables and chairs to sit and enjoy your yogurt or other snacks that can be bought at the store as well. Not a very big spot so depends on the visit it can get crowded. Most people seem to take it to go instead of sitting at the store. Plenty of parking but it is also a shared parking lot with other stores in the plaza so be aware. Highly recommend this local staple shop! Worth the price. I can't wait to go back! Support local!
