The service was friendly and really good, a very mom pops or friendly neighborhood feel. I was here at sundown one day and then again at sunrise the very next day before leaving town. The people that come by seem to be friendlies with the old folks servicing here and I think that's a great thing. Perhaps it's been awhile since I've been aware of these donut pop-ups and their hours, but I can't believe they open til midnight and then re-open at 5AM. Give this place a shot. This spot reminds me to support my local business. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

I fell in love with Sunshine Donuts in SLO, and was devastated to learn they'd closed, and been replaced by the SLO DO CO Instagram donuts.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

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.

Much better then Starbucks and cheaper. The owners are always pleasant.

We arrived just after 11:00 PM and were greeted by a great selection of donuts, all looking fresh. Once we got home, we found the donuts to be incredibly soft and fresh, and they tasted amazing! We will definitely be back the next time we're in town.
