I really want to support Sunshine Donut since it's a family-run business and the only donut shop in town, and I genuinely wish them nothing but success. That said, as a local resident, the experience has been frustrating more often than not. Their posted hours say they're open until 2 PM, but in reality, they're usually sold out by around 10 AM. It makes it really difficult to plan a visit unless you go very early, which isn't always realistic for everyone. If the shop consistently sells out that early, it would be helpful to either adjust the hours or increase production so more people actually have a chance to buy something. Because this is the only donut option in town, it would be nice to have a more reliable experience--or even some competition to give residents a bit more choice. Again, I respect that it's a small, family-owned spot, but as it stands, it's hard to depend on them if you're not there first thing in the morning. Please try to work on this sunshine. I would hate for a chain donut store to come to this town, but at the end of the day i would take consistent service over anything. read more

We were heading to have breakfast with my in laws and hubby was craving donuts, we told me about this donut shop that is a tradition for all the families in Patterson , he told me how the owner use to be a mailman , as soon we got there it was busy with customers but the service was fast, big selection of donuts , coffee and other drinks I love that have some seating inside and outside , the shop is little but is well organized and clean , the ladies behind the counter super friendly. I notice when I was going to do my review that it said this place is permanently closed, is not true I already request this to be edited read more

Grew up coming here in high school and nothing has changed at all about this place! Such an adorable local donut shop in downtown Patterson. Parking is very accessible and there's indoor and outdoor seating available. They have a ton of refrigerated drink options and a wide variety of donuts. Service is very friendly and the donuts are amazing. Ordered a dozen donuts and several donut holes for my brothers birthday. They were all absolutely delicious and so fresh (really, nothing has changed)! Love, love, love this place and so happy they are still open and thriving after all these years! read more

OMG! Best and freshest donuts ever! Service is always great and staff so friendly! They sell out early most days so for a great selection, better go earlier than later! read more

Up early Saturday morning, snuck out of the house to go get a dozen. Big selection, fresh and fast service. The donuts are great, melt in your mouth, made for a happy morning. The shop is in the middle of town. Older shopping center with parking all around. Plenty of drink options, milk, juices and sodas as well as fresh coffee. They also have a variety of specialty donuts. I can always count on quality and freshness at Sunshine Donuts read more

Hands down the best local donuts in town -- always fresh and delicious every single day. My personal favorite is the sugar donut, but honestly, they're all amazing. My kids can't get enough and ask for them daily. The owner provides great service and really cares about the community. They even customized donuts for my kids' birthday recently, and they turned out absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Best donuts in the area! The maple bars and the cinnamon rolls are so amazing! Great fast service and good prices!

Awesome donuts, friendly service, and a great selection. Best donut shop in Stanislaus County.

Great donuts! The sugar raised are AMAZE BALLS and I don't like raised donuts. It's a small neighborhood shop with great service and reasonable prices. Donuts sell out quick on weekends so get there early for best selection. Even if you get there late no matter what's left is great :) Enjoy! read more

The best donut I've ever tasted except for Lou's in San Jose! Too bad this place is about 40 miles away from my home but I will definately return. My son and I are on the way to a state park so we stopped here for coffee and donuts. I discovered a real gem. read more

We had the nicest experience with the owners today, during our last minute decision to grab donuts on our drive down home to Southern California. They had already closed. I was standing there waving my arms about hoping my friendly demeanor welcomed their attention. With good fortune, the owner opened the door to ask how she could help and I explained that my wife and I were wanting to eat donuts for our 8 hour trip down south. She hesitated a bit, but asked what kind of donuts we were looking for. At closing, I didn't expect them to have any specialty donuts left or fresh ones at that. She said, "I don't have any apple fritters left but I'll make you a box of what we do have left. Would that be okay?" Of course, I was completely shocked by the offer of an entire box made... and I answered with an exuberant, "YES! Thank you!!!" In a few minutes, she came out with a box full of soft and fluffy donuts and asked for a tiny fee of $7. Blessings and favors don't have to be honored and my wife and I were grateful for her willingness to help us out for our road trip. Oh and the donuts?!?!?.... DELICIOUS!!!!!! Hours old but totally yummy and worth driving a wee bit into Patterson for a treat! Thank you, Sunshine Donut Co.!!!! read more

Better off going to save mart and thats saying alot cause save mart donuts are pretty bad too read more

Sunshine Donut - Donuts Near Me - Patterson, California

This is the only true donut store in Patterson. The store is super small and can get very busy but you never really wait long. The donuts and croissants are really good, I especially like the apple cinnamon bear claw. I've never had the coffee so I couldn't tell you how good it is. The store is kept clean even though they get tons of traffic coming in and out. There is plenty of parking with both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is always hard working and friendly. Come with cash as they are a cash only establishment. Today we showed up a lil late and the options were limited, they added a half dozen for free to our already dozen ordered. That's true customer service. read more

So usually this place is pretty awesome and always polite but today went there at 6 am and the guy working was very unhappy , mean look on his face not friendly at all and my ham and cheese croissant was not warmed up I had to toss in the microwave when I got home which was only a couple minutes away . Donuts overall are great but service not so much today . read more

Even though they only take cash it is hands down worth the trip to the atm machine. Staff is super friendly. They are busy but they are def quick. I used to go here as a kid and it's great to see that they are still open to this day. Donuts are fresh and soft. The coffee is also fresh. I really enjoy coming here. What I really like the most is that the staff knows people by name. And even though they are not of a Spanish background, they speak Spanish to their Spanish speaking customers!!!! This is by far the greatest thing ever! We need more businesses and business owners like this! Multi-language. Love it! read more

This is my absolute favorite place to go for donuts! I've been coming to this friendly family business since I've moved to Patterson. They offer a wide delicious variety of donuts from savory to sweet! Providing each customer THE BEST customer service and truly getting to know each customer. My all time favorite is their classic glaze donut. Unlike Kristy Creme and other donut shops, their donuts are so fluffy and huge! One bite and you could see how airy the dough is and how much care an love is in that donut! Every visit is remarkable even throwing in a few free donuts here and there . read more
