Came here for a donuts with dad with my daughter. Surprised the place had not chairs to sit so we had to go to the Taco Bell to sit and eat. Donuts seemed old and not very fresh. Wasn't impressed at all but the workers were very nice to my daughter. Perhaps I had an off day. read more

Really happy with my experience! The owners are really nice and happily blended my Thai Tea. That's always a plus. I also love the classic mom & pop style they have going here. It reminds me so much of home. I can't recommend this place enough. Good business! read more

Sunshine Donut - Donuts Near Me - Nipomo, California

After moving back to the area I was looking for a great maple donut. Every place I went disappointed me until I stopped by Sunshine Donut. Had a delicious maple bar and an amazing apple fritter. read more

They are the kindest people ever! If you want great donuts, food, and service, this is the place.

Stop and eat at the sunshine donut place and it was the best even at five in the morning croissants were absolutely fresh and delicious and perfect, and the donuts were just delectable, but mainly the people who own this place are so awesome and so thankful and helpful. Just great people so thanks for being there. We will support you as much as we can. read more

The owners are friendly and the donuts here are amazing. Our go tos include the apple fritters and glazed donuts are great too. The place is small and has a welcoming environment. It's a great little donut shop that has plenty for donut lovers to enjoy. read more

When we walked in we orded amazing custard filled glazed donuts and the lady gave us 2 free donut holes they were all amazing!

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. read more

My wife is pregnant and we frequent this donut shop because they have the best donuts and service around!

Great place, and our go to for the best Donuts honestly. Unfortunately, we drove out here at 7:38pm NOV. 24, 2024, but they are closed. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR HOURS!!!! If it's til noon or midnight. read more

Clean place with really, REALLY good doughnuts. The staff is always friendly and even though there's usually a line (sometimes out the door), you get served quickly. I'm not always in the mood for doughnuts, but when I am, this placs is my go-to. read more

They have the freshest & yummiest donuts. What sets this place apart is it's not overly sweet. Highly recommend the apple fritter, which actually tastes like apples not sugar. I'm SO not a health nut, just love great food. Whenever I visit friends, I always make sure to pick up a dozen. My favorite is the glazed twist, or the plain cake. A local family business with freindly people. read more

They are never open anymore. I go there to buy and they are closed. What's up???? Their custard filled donuts are delicious.

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. read more

I had a delicious donut today from this donut shop (I think it was this one - only the name donut above store). I might just come back to Nipomo just to buy another one of their donuts. read more

Delicious donuts day or night. Friendly and family owned. Let's keep them in Nipomo! : )

The best donuts locally in Nipomo! The owners are so nice and accommodating, I usually call ahead to have donuts ready in a box for pick up and they are fast to help me get in and out of the door quickly. The donuts are so good and I'd come here once a day if I couldn't gain weight from it haha read more

Sunshine Donuts makes the best, most consistent, traditional cake donuts I've ever tasted, bar none. I fell in love with Sunshine Donuts in SLO, and was devastated to learn they'd closed, and been replaced by the SLO DO CO Instagram donuts. I mean, nothing against Instagram donuts, but slodoco's donuts are way too sweet. And don't have the beautiful dough taste of Sunshine's. So I was OVERJOYED to find out that there was a Sunshine's in Nipomo, and it's the same recipes and menu! The apple fritters are the same, the donuts are the same, and it makes me so happy. I highly recommend coming here if you're a cake donut fan. It's better than Winchell's, if you're an LA donut fan. I know, HERESY, but Sunshine's got the (baked) goods to back it up. They're not the best raised donuts I've tasted, though those aren't bad. But the cake donuts are SO GOOD. And the apple fritters. And the buttermilk bars actually taste like their own thing, not just loaves of cake donut. They're closed for 3 weeks after Christmas, and when they open again, I'll be there with bells on, to start the new year right! read more

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. read more

Do yourself a favor and come here to get your donut fix. They have the best donuts in town. My family wanted dessert so I thought I'd come to Sunshine donuts to get a variety box. Because of how inexpensive they are I bought more than I bargain for.. Lol. The donuts were fresh and warm, maybe it was the time of day I went Yay !!! The variety I bought old fashion in maple, glaze and chocolate, chocolate cake donuts, glazed donutholes, maple bar, bear claw, and all of the filled pastries were generously filled I kid you not. They have others of course. They also offer coffee with a variety of flavored creamers. The person that helped me was very nice and polite. I will return for another box of sweets when the time comes. read more

Sunshine Donut - The best donuts in town - Donuts Near Me - Nipomo, California

Definitely the best Donut shop in town. The half dozen I bought in the picture didnt make it home without half of them eaten. I can understand some are upset by the fact they are no longer open 24 hours but come on. It's Nipomo! This is a family run establishment. You can't expect a business to stay open 24 hours just for a few extra orders. Can you? It's not smart business. That's how small businesses go under. You can't satisfy everyone. The people that run this place can come off a little harsh sometimes but if you've ever spent time around the Asian community you would realize that's just how they are. It's a fast paced world and they dont have time for nonsense. I totally respect that. They are great people once you get to know them. They remember my order everytime I come in. Their donuts are always fresh and the most reasonable price in town. Try this place you won't be disappointed! read more

Absolutely adore this place! They're open so late at night and early in the morning so they're very convenient. The lady working there is so sweet and always tries to start conversations which I love. She is also very quick so I'm in and out in about 5 minutes! read more

Great donuts and super nice owners! The glazed old fashion and Apple fritter are our favorites. We love this spot!

Really nice people and delicious doughnuts. Always a smile and a donut hole for the grandkids.

Love this little mom and pop place. For the most part they always have what I want. Love their chocolate bar. Sometimes the icing is messy and I can be about presentation when it comes to food. Good prices, good selection and oh if you have a specific donut that just needs different icing or add sprinkles just let them know. read more
