Crema's Take

Sunshine Donuts is a beloved family-run spot where the apple fritters are genuinely legendary—regulars swear they're unbeatable—and the croissant breakfast sandwiches deliver the kind of melty, cheesy comfort food that keeps people coming back. The team greets everyone with genuine warmth, moves through orders with impressive speed, and bakes everything fresh each morning, making this the kind of neighborhood place where the staff remembers your face and cares enough to call if they're short on your usual order.

I don't know how I forgot to review this place with all the times I have been there. One word Apple Fritters. If you find a better one around I'll pay you back myself, they are that good. Family run and very friendly. I was given a free donut on Fathers day and was kinda shocked. Even though I'm not in that area much, I definitely try to stop by when I am.

The croissant breakfast sandwiches are amazing!! I dream about the cheesy goodness! The donuts are really good too! The staff are always super friendly and welcoming. Wait time is almost nonexistent! Love love love! Devoured too fast for photos!

I honestly feel bad that it has taken me this long to write a review for this place. Firstly, I feel no shame in saying that I have likely eaten donuts from at least 90% of the shops in sacramento, yolo and santa clara counties. This is not what one would consider a fancy bakery or anything. This is a donut shop. They do the basics, but they do them very well. Not only that, but they are exceptionally friendly and accommodating every time. The food is fresh and delicious, the place is clean, and, despite my numerous special requests (this in that bag, that in a separate one, etc), they never let me feel like a burden. In fact, they almost always give us a free one. I have also placed multiple large orders, and have never been dissatisfied. Once they even decorated each one to look like baseballs and were a huge hit at tball. So, obviously, I recommend trying them out.

Ordered some apple fritters on Grubhub due to not having a car currently. I get a call 3 minutes after ordering explaining that they only had 1 apple fritter and if I would be ok with a peach. It’s really awesome that the owner took the time to do that. They also included a third pastry as well without saying anything. The peach fritter was amazing, I already knew there apple fritters were great. Already was my favorite donut shop but now I’m a customer for life . It’s the little things !
