Customer Reviews
Under new Ownership! Great service!, Large variety of delicious donuts ?? ??! Open early morning. Freshly made every morning. Hot Coffee ??!
Ok let me honest here this is the best donut shop in salinas... the owner is amazing you can tell he cares about his business. Great deals. Good atmosphere. My stepfather has been coming here for decades and yes this place deserves all the recognition its getting. P.S. Blueberry cake donuts..... thats all I'm gonna say.
First, I live in Michigan -- and we take our donuts seriously in the Midwest. Sundays here are for church, football and donuts. You can stop being invited places if you bring lousy donuts. I got two dozen donuts for work, and let me tell you, this place is the real deal. It's a little hole in the wall, and three old guys in Navy Veteran caps were talking in the corner over coffee. This is definitely The Spot. You know, the spot where the old guys sit every day and complain about their grandkids and drin
it?s true - everything about this place is high quality ! still the best donut i?ve ever had & i?ve lived in San Francisco, NYC, Los Angeles & Tokyo. Every time I visit my hometown I make sure to stop by my Sunshine Donut for that simple classic donut in a quaint little plaza in South Salinas. None of that hipster cereal or inventive recipes?. just pure nostalgic flavors. Super lovely owner too. Go & support this place, you?ll see why everyone loves it!
best donuts ever! super light and airy
This place is amazing. I would highly recommend it for either some donuts in the morning or a shake in the noon. Has outdoor seating.
After many attempts to find good donuts and friendly service in Salinas, my bf and I finally found Sunshine's Donuts!!! The gentleman that helped us (maybe the owner?) was very friendly and the donuts were so yummy! He didn't have any custard filled donuts available so he offered to fill the donuts with custard for us on the spot!!! The donuts tasted fresh and the coffee was good too. Plus they have other items on their menu besides donuts. We will definitely be back and we will also refer other people!!!
First time here and fantastic pastries I got a maple bar and cinnamon roll and it was so soft,chewy, thick and the glaze was sweet and soft. Definitely will be back to try the cinnamon twist and mozzarella sticks.
Terrible. They haven?t changed their menu prices. Everything costs double or more. They will not honor their menu board prices, and just make up new numbers on the fly. This place needs to get their act together.
The owner/ employees have the best customer service. They have a broad menu. From donuts to churros.. even lumpia and other savory things. A wide selection of cold/iced coffees and drinks. You can also place in a big order of donuts in advance. Everything is at a great price and everything tastes so good! Highly recommend it here.
Good doughnuts. They're fresh and dense, but for $25 per dozen, a bit on the pricey side.
Went here on my off days some times on. That all came to an end when i spotted a cockroach on a shelf of donuts. I let the older gentlemen, probably the owner, know about it and he insisted i was wrong. It upset me, but not too much as i had seen enough and wasnt going to come back after what i had seen. I wouldnt trust this place.
I want to love Sunshine. While I like the service and people the donuts are a little too dense/cakey for me. Not bad and I'll probably still go back if I'm nearby. Not making a trip just for it though.
Such a sweet couple, great frappes..and any sweettooth will be delighted. They also have a breakfast and lunch menu. The ole timers hangout starting early...like 6 am??
Used to be my go to place for donuts. This time all I could taste was grease. Couldn't get myself to take another bite and just threw them out.
If I could give Sunshine Donuts a thousand stars I would :) The service is so good it totally made my day :D So kind and friendly! Awesome service!!!!! So happy!
Great donuts and the owner is super sweet and always throws in some extra munchkins for your little one
Me and my brother come here all the time and we love it. They throw in a free small item every time we come. I highly recommend of you are in the area.
It was hot. The shop doesn't only sell doughnuts but many other things. Their doughnuts are very moist.
