A really great place with great donuts. Said donuts are always fresh and always look presentable. The people here move fast when fulfilling orders and try to be understanding when there's minor communication issues. Plus, the customer area is generally clean and is well decorated, with the menu signs still being lit up for better viewing. In all, a great donut place with a few breakfast options that has friendly staff and awesome management. 10/10 read more

Some people have a favorite coffee shop. Some people have a favorite pizza place. Apparently, I have a favorite donut hole. I first found Sunshine Donuts because it's conveniently located across from my doctor's office, and ever since then, I've been completely spoiled. Today I stopped by before picking up my kids from school, and instead of getting one dozen donut holes like a reasonable person, I bought two dozen because I already knew exactly what I was there for. These donut holes are hands down the best I've ever had. They're soft, fresh, and practically melt in your mouth. I've tried donut holes from plenty of places over the years, and nothing compares. The funny part is that I make donuts every day at work, so I know a good donut when I taste one. Sunshine Donuts has officially ruined me because now every other donut hole has to compete with these. The shop itself is adorable. It's small, cozy, and welcoming, with a few seats inside if you want to sit and enjoy your breakfast. Everything was clean and well-kept, and the staff could not have been friendlier. When one of the ladies saw me taking pictures, she excitedly grabbed their award plaque so I could get a photo of it too. That little moment perfectly summed up the atmosphere here. They were proud of what they do, and honestly, they should be. Beyond the donut holes, they also have a great selection of donuts, muffins, scones, pastries, and drinks. I fully admit I keep getting distracted by the donut holes and haven't made it to the rest of the menu yet, but that's a "me" problem, not theirs. If you're looking for fancy, complicated pastries, there are plenty of places for that. If you're looking for a local donut shop that feels warm, welcoming, and serves some of the most addictive donut holes imaginable, Sunshine Donuts is absolutely worth the stop. Now if you'll excuse me, I have 24 donut holes and two children waiting for me, and I'm pretty sure none of us have the self-control necessary to make those donut holes last until tomorrow! read more

I just love this little shop so much. Not only is their food absolutely delicious (and fresh) but they are so kind. The shop owners are so sweet and caring towards their customers. These are hands down the best donuts in Sacramento and every time I bring them to an event, people rave about them and ask where I bought them. They are super fresh and flavorful. My favorite is their maple old fashioned which is super crispy around the edges. Also, don't sleep on their breakfast croissant sandwiches. Incredible value and the best breakfast sandwich in town. I get the ham and cheese with an over easy egg (pictured) for $6. Give this place a try. It just might change the way you see donuts. read more

Our friend's live around the corner from a donut shop. "Any chance those donuts are good?" I asked. O He answered, "Sunshine Donuts are GREAT!!!" It's family owned and everyone behind the counter is happy, helpful, and friendly! They have a great selection. On Saturday morning they had sold out of apple fritters. The locals definitely know! read more

Sunshine Donuts - A beautiful selection of delicious donuts! - Donuts Near Me - Sacramento, California

This little place is a family favorite. It's a clean shop but doesn't have much seating, so it's more like a grab and go type but they do have single table for two if you want to eat there. The owner and workers are beyond nice and make us feel special. The donuts are delicious and always fresh. They have croinuts,(a mix of croissant and donut),, of course the usual traditional donuts, jelly filled done while you wait, and can even do big birthday numbers if you put in your request early. read more

Friendly staff, delicious food and very affordable. The ham, cheese and jalapeño croissant is yummy and made to order! read more

My usual donut place was closed. So, I hopped on Yelp to see where I might find a chocolate cruller. I didn't even know Sunshine Donuts was nearby. A small place, but very clean with some seating inside. I was greeted in a friendly manner upon entering. The selection wasn't bad considering it was afternoon. And the had chocolate crullers! I ordered two and thought they may have placed something extra in the bag, but wasn't watching that close. After paying and getting out to the van, sure enough - a glazed cruller had been added to the order. Katie enjoyed it! Crullers are my favorite because of the texture of the dough. It is almost like a crepe, with what I describe as an "eggy" feel or flavor. These not only had that, but a wonderfully substantial icing as well. Growing up in the '70s, I remember occasionally enjoying a Dolly Madison or Hostess chocolate cupcake. The icing on those was at least an eighth of an inch thick. You could literally lift the whole thing off the cake like a disc. And the vanilla swirl of icing down the middle stood on top of the chocolate, obviously a separate process and product altogether. Compare that to what Hostess became before they went out of business. The chocolate icing was a thin veneer or film over the cupcake and that vanilla swirl was just a change in color of the film. So, I have an appreciation for the texture of the icing on a donut. The chocolate icing on the crullers is quite luxurious and flavorful. I may have a new go-to for donuts! read more

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity and price of sunshine donuts. It was delivered in a timely manner by GrubHub . I order a large coffee, 12 donut hose and a chocolate covered curler donut . The coffee was quite hot black, strong as it should...and they provided the amount of cream and sugar that I recommended . I applaud them for being an outstanding like that.. The chocolate covered cruller on it was fresh and tasty and the additional 12 donuts were also like that they were outstanding . And these items this place was outstanding and I highly recommend it.. read more

The employees/owner was very sweet, they tossed in a few mini donuts I didn't even pay for, and their smiles are contagious! Thank you!

Support local, support family, support donuts! Our family loves ordering these custom birthday treats for the class. It was so easy to stop by 2 days ahead to specify the letters, flavors, and pickup time. We really appreciate the owners' kindness and reliability. read more

I ordered Sunshine Donuts through Grub Hub today on a whim, and, as a self-described donut aficionado, I was amazed!! I ordered my favorite: chocolate glazed custard filled. I was so excited, I accidentally ordered 2! Whoops! I also got an apple fritter and a (new-to-me) raisin square! I also decided to get a ham, egg and cheese bagel! (This turned out to be an excellent decision!). The donuts arrived perfectly packaged in a colorful box. I'm not sure if the shop did this or my driver, but, there was a fun character hand-drawn on my box that said "Enjoy!" They also wrote "Thank you!" on the box. I thought this was a really nice touch! The donuts were fresh and tasty! I'm very sensitive to when frying oil hasn't been changed frequently enough and this was definitely NOT the case with Sunshine Donuts! My favorite donut was sliced in half and then filled with custard which I think is genius! More custard+evenly distributed = an amazing taste experience! Bravo! Apple fritter was perfectly fried and glazed. I saved the raisin square for my coffee tomorrow! Last, but, certainly not least: the ham, egg and cheese bagel. Let's just say: breakfast heaven! The bagel was soft and chewy, there was tons of egg, ham and melty American cheese all assembled to perfection. They do not skimp on ingredients!! Delicious! I ended up having half for breakfast and the other half for lunch. Sunshine Donuts is a hidden gem, and, I'm sad that I am just now discovering it after living in Sac for almost 7 years! Sunshine Donuts, please never change! read more

The people working were so nice, the donuts were amazing! A very good neighborhood donut place! Maple bar, chocolate bar, blueberry, an assortment of chocolate cake donuts with chocolate frosting and different toppings. They threw in an extra donut and some donut holes read more

I love this place. Best donuts ever. I live right up the street and stop by often. The owners are so kind and they are so sweet to my kids. You can tell that they care about their customers. I came in today though and so many things about the shop were different and all new people working. The owners weren't there. I hope ownership hasn't changed. I enjoy walking in and chatting with the original owners. read more

I've been coming here for my Ham & Cheese Croissants for more than TWO Years now. They are consistently great. We don't really eat donuts. But I tried quite a few places to find a Ham & Cheese Croissant that my wife LOVES and she LOVES these. The quality of the food is great. The place is very clean. The staff is VERY Friendly. Consistently great for TWO YEARS!! This time I was here I noticed they were glazing some FRESHLY MADE Apple Fritters. Naturally I had to buy a couple and bring them home to my family. They LOVED Them - They were still warm. mmmmmmm read more

Here is another Donut shop that everyone needs to know. The new owner works so hard themselves to make a living. I've tried their donuts a few times now. They are spot on. If you used to come to this place when another couple owned it, you may not like it because it looked old and it was just another donut store. His wife had passed away. Now this couple took over. Please stop by and enjoy donuts yourself or share with co workers at work. There's another donut shop on my way to work that I have stopped for my sweet treat. They are good. This store is as good if not better. Oh, I almost forgot. I only eat Chocolate bars. And they were not too sweet at all. I like them. read more

Very RUDE and Prejudice!!!!!!!!!!! The family is very disrespectful. The donuts are stale and the coffee is water down.

Stopped by as I was interested in trying the cronuts here, among the other donuts. There was only the glazed version of the cronut available at the time, which I didn't mind. Pillow-soft cronut, but a little too buttery-tasting for my liking for a cronut (I can see others really enjoying it though). The other donuts that I got were just as fluffy as the cronut. The surprising spotlight was the apple fritter. It has the perfect amount of crisp for an apple fritter (I find most apple fritters having a little too much of a crunch). The apple fritter was my fave out of the donut box. Sunshine Donuts is a fitting name for this place because the lady at the counter was like sunshine in human form (not to sound too cheesy hah). So friendly and cheery. She made my morning for sure. Loved that she was pretty generous with the complimentary donut holes as well. I recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood and want a quick, no-fuss stop for donuts! read more

Ordered delivery through door dash. I love that they put my items in a box and not in a paper bag.. they also left me a cute note but on top of my order, they gave me donut holes for free, which was very kind and made my day! I ordered a sprinkled maple bar and strawberry/cream pastry. I didn't take a picture of the bacon-sausage and egg croissant but it was very fresh and fulfilling! The donut holes and maple bar was fresh and soft-- not stale like other places! The pastry was very good too. I will be ordering again. 10/10 read more

Best donuts in Sacramento! I will drive out of my way to get donuts here. My go-to donut when trying any donut shop is a raised glazed donut. The ones here are so soft, fluffy, yeasty, fresh, and glazed with just the right amount of glaze, not too thin and not too thick. Their apple fritters are amazing too, so much so that I accidentally ate an entire fritter on my own after eating a glazed donut too. It is a small family owned shop, and every person at the counter that I've met is so kind and welcoming and friendly. They will often throw in extra donuts and dozens of donut holes for free, since I order 2 dozen donuts at a time to bring into work. I had people coming up to me at work asking where the donuts were from because they were so outstanding. Love this place! read more
