Sunshine Donut - Nipomo

Best donut shop on the central coast. Staff is friendly and actual super funny at times. I love their jalapeno ham croissant. Super good.

Good donuts, courteous and fast service. Everything you would expect from a donut shop.The location couldn't be more convenient as you are approaching the highway when leaving Nipomo.

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 I fell in love with Sunshine Donuts in SLO, and was devastated to learn they'd closed, and been replaced by the SLO DO CO Instagram donuts.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!

Update went on a weekday, and older gentleman super nice, he confirmed my parents' recollection of it being opened in Santa Maria by Ross. It's not same owners but in the family. Came with my son whom loves their Donuts, we got a dozen as that's the way to go lol and share with the family. Always super fresh and taste so good. Come if you haven't yet!! Support local!

Delicious and great service! Tasty doughnuts made fresh. I love that they are open very early in the morning!
