Customer Reviews

Donuts were really good and affordable. Smoothie and croissant were ok. Right off highway. Friendly service

Friendly service as soon as I entered. This community is very lucky to have this business here, true donut shops are rare (Walmart/Caseys/Dunkin/K-K) are not considered "donuts" or bakeries). -1.5 star for food due to being a chain and grading on a curve with the best available, and bakeries we've been to.

What an absolute gem of an independent bakery. We were staying at the motel next door so having this place on the doorstep was a lifesaver. The coffee, breakfast options and of course donuts were all superb. A great taste of middle America away from all the usual chain offerings.

What a treat to find a legit coffee & donut shop in this middle of nowhere town. We came on a Friday morning-ish around 9:30 and they are almost sold out. The guys behind the counter were all so friendly, definitely worth stopping by if you are anywhere in the 20 mile radius

Sold out of donuts by time we got there but the biscuits and gravy were great and the smoothies are good too

An absolute gem for coffee and donut lovers! The donuts were amazing and so was the coffee. Dairy-free creamers, healthy protein balls for your road-trip when you?re sad you already ate your donut and super friendly and helpful service. A must stop!

Went here with my bf this morning? he got the burrito and The Amb latte. He said it was one of the best breakfast burritos he?s had! I got the protein bites, the snickerdoodle latte, and sausage croissant with no croissant (I?m gluten free) and they were so accommodating and kind! The latte was a little sweet for my taste but had good flavor. Would recommend!!

This sweet & cute coffee shop was such an amazing little place! We stayed in Oakley on our way to Colorado, and we will definitely be back! The coffee was delicious, the pastries were decadent, and the owners were incredible. They gave us some free sausage rolls for our drive. Incredible little place! Definitely stop by here if you?re going through Oakley!

We were passing through wanting to get some coffee and breakfast, and what a little treasure we found!! They took great care of us and well worth the stop. We loved our coffee and breakfast!

A cute gem in this small town. Seems to be the local hangout. The staff is super friendly and there is a good variety of good. Cute indoor seating.

Great stop for coffee and a French crueller! I wish my wife and I were able to stay and enjoy the shop more

A decent little spot. We were originally confused because "Sunshine Bakery" is in the Daylight Doughnuts building. You just can't see that until you are standing right before the front door where they have a small door sticker with the words. No idea why Google lists them separately. The people were friendly. The food and coffee were good. Nothing amazing, but nice. $4 breakfast sandwich seemed a touch high, but they were fresh and warm. Very busy. If you are there late on a Saturday, expect them to be runn

What a treasure in this small town. Great donuts, coffee and what a great surprise protein balls! Super cute atmosphere and very reasonable.

We stayed in Oakley on our vacation. We decided to get some coffee and donuts from Sunshine Bakery. The quality was excellent. We were happy to support a small bakery in a small town! I highly recommend.

We stopped here on our way through to support local and we were so glad we did. The coffee shop had a fantastic atmosphere and even more fantastic coffee. The owner was friendly and made an amazing iced caramel macchiato. Make the stop. Support small town!

Got an iced latte and breakfast burrito. Iced latte tasted like it was mostly milk and the breakfast burrito was something they just threw in the microwave. Don?t waste your money ??

Outstanding coffee... only 4 stars because of too much sugary stuff for breakfast. Wonderful atmosphere and very friendly!! In fact, if I was traveling past Oakley on the I70, it would be worth the short 2 mile detour for this coffee.

We live in Lawrence, and have been in here twice in the past month on our way back from Colorado trips after staying the night in Oakley. Great vibe and atmosphere, family friendly, and the nicest people! This has become a tradition for us anytime we?re on the road!

Oh my goodness! Here we are driving through Kansas, and we found America in some of her best forms. We wanted some coffee and a little something to chew on, not Starbucks. Found the Sunshine bakery on the googleys. Okay, it is just a little old gas station that makes donuts and coffee, on the surface. Creative and inventive donuts in a fresh take on all the same flavors and mixes, but how original to come up with your own take, form and flavors. Coffee and expresso was great, but the staff made the enti

We find it difficult not to stop at Sunshine Bakery on our way through or to Oakley KS. The donuts are just so dangerously delicious. Fantastic, friendly service. Thank you.

Love the friendly staff and all the delicious food and beverage options! They have classic donuts and a fun variety of specialty donuts as well. They can make you any coffee, any way you want it. The best!

Great vibe, super delicious, friendly service. Check hours, closed Sunday and Monday

This place is a little gem that we found on our cross country trip. The breakfast sandwiches, iced coffees and delicious donuts were amazing. The staff is so friendly and nice. Fantastic place!

Im a little bias because my Pastor owns the place but that wont stop me from an honest review. The guys are always nice and friendly, the coffee is always hot (unless u order a iced coffee lol) and the donuts fresh. The conversations are always lively and the enviroment always fun!

Asked if they had cream filled long John they made fun of me behind a partial open window. Price is high. Sugary glazed, way more than normal. Quality was low average.

Such friendly staff, and the cinnamon rolls were fresh and delicious!

This is an amazing place, the service is amazing and the place in general is very welcoming and calm. Over all I love this little nook, it's a very enjoyable to dine in or even just for quick coffee!

Drove through for a breakfast burrito, donut, and a coffee while I was on a road trip. The food and coffee were both excellent!

Great food! Great service! Great prices! I had the breakfast burrito and just one did the trick.
