Customer Reviews

My wife and I got the breakfast croissants. My wife got the bacon and egg, and I got Ultimate croissant with bacon, ham, and egg. They are big sandwiches and they were so great. Especially with the honeydew Boba drink. It's a family owned business, and the owners and daughters are very friendly and appreciative. I think they have the best donuts as well.

Didn't check if they had WIFI, but the place looked like it had great selection of Donuts. I actually went in for the Thai boba on ice! I bought the SM: 5.95$ ... kinda pricey. The cashier was super nice tho!

Rating one star due to there being a dirty old oil taste after eating the donuts?? and you can tell they weren?t cooked all the way or glazed right . So nasty and disappointing won?t come here again or recommend. ????????save your money and go somewhere else in Los banos they charge TOO MUCH money for nasty donuts ??

it?s the best spot in town in my opinion the donut dough is a good texture it?s light fluffy, and the frosting is perfect..that?s what i get there for but my husband loves all the savory options they have especially the egg rolls

Stopped here at ~5pm on our way back to San Francisco. They were very well stocked and the donuts were still delicious! This is the first time I've had a custard-filled bar. Next time we're in the area, we'll be coming back.

Hands down the best donut in Los Banos! And even if you have another favorite donut place in another city... Come by here a fix your donut craving! This is a family business and the owner and her daughters run the store. I love supporting local small businesses.

Only place the oils taste they are changed often and don't make me have stomach pains and frequent heartburn. This place is a gem in the middle of such a small town. Delicious donuts served all day!

Would give 5 stars but I was disappointed this time around. Bought a dozen and some were not fresh. My lemon filled donut appeared to be repowdered with sugar to appear fresh but it wasn't even the consistency of the lemon filling was dry it normally oozes out. It was very dry. Maybe cause of covid they have less traffic but the standards should still be the same as before. Will give them another try the owners are very nice people.

The jelly filled and cream donuts were truly outstanding. The customer service is also really great!! ??

The Donuts we're terrible. The donuts we're greasy and tasted like they were cooked in old dirty oil . I went back into the donut shop and showed them I had taken one bite and that they were uneatable . I asked the woman behind the counter for my money back and gave her the two terrible donuts minus one bite. She was very rude to me but in the end she finally returned my money. I don't recommend this place of business to anyone.

The best doughnuts in Los Banos. Really great and friendly service from very nice family ran/owned establishment. Always a great assortment of doughnuts, ice cream and sandwiches with fresh coffee and other delicious drinks. Thank you very much!

This place is one of the best places in town! I always like trying to go to little Mom n Pops shops amd family owned places, because these places almost always are the best to visit for whatever reasons. If it's for hunger, thirsty, or just to go try new things. Sunshine Donut & Ice Cream has it all, they have the best egg rolls & home made sauce, fresh breakfast sandwiches, breakfast croissant sandwiches, and lunch & dinner sandwiches. They make fresh Boba smoothies made with great different flavors. Grea

Only donut place I will go to in town. Hands down best donuts and very friendly service. Love the egg rolls and I have to mention that this place is always impeccably clean ??

Very good doughnuts ????

Best Donuts in Los Banos

They tried to charge my brother $8.50 for one little bag of donut holes. First we asked for two bags and they said it?d be $11.50, so instead we just asked for one. Wouldn?t it be half the price of $11.50, and not $8.50 for one bag?
