Sunny’s Donuts

Super fresh donuts and nice people! The chocolate cake donuts are delicious and they put the custard in the donut fresh when you buy it!

So glad we needed gas! Found out we needed donuts too. Yum!!! Owner was super friendly too.

Better than Krispy Kreme! Donuts are ALWAYS good and you’re always told to «have a sunny day» Best Donuts in town!

I work in Gaffney and one of our store managers brought in a couple dozen of Sunny’s donuts. I’d never heard of them but since that one Cinnamon crumb donuts I’ve been hooked. My wife and I love all of the cake donuts especially the cinnamon sugar ones. Give the Maple bacon one a try. I was surprised that I liked it. Y’all are awesome Sunny and his family are very friendly. Support small business!

The old fashioned blueberry doughnut. SO GOOD! Love the softness with a crunch. Located beside a gas station but don’t be turned off its worth the stop

I’m a sucker for donuts and after seeing that some of the best new donuts in Charlotte are only available as a Saturday morning pop up, I did a quick search for something closer to where we were staying in Blacksburg. Sunny’s was not only close, but the reviews sounded good and the photos looked even better. I prefer traditional donuts over those newfangled fancy kinds and boy did the images of chocolate old fashions and glazed buttermilk bars peak my interest.
After Justin and I decided to make the drive, timing it so we would arrive in their last hour of operation to pick up treats for dessert, I started making a my-​eyes-​are-​bigger-​than-​my-​stomach list of what I would select. Sunny’s Facebook page has even more photos and info on it and often includes the special donut of the day. I think I was salivating as we drove.
When we arrived we were both a little surprised to see that Sunny’s Donuts is inside Sunny’s Quik Stop gas station. However, we’ve driven to Maryland for gas station tacos and have been know to frequent a particular gas station for sandwiches in the District, so for us donut lovers this was hardly a deterrent. What was, however, was seeing a gentleman (Sunny himself!) outside locking up the door. I don’t know if the car had stopped moving before I jumped out and sprinted to the door. Luckily, we could still enter though the minimart door and once at the counter, Sunny’s wife Lang showed us the two boxes of donuts that remained. Note: despite the name, Sunny and Lang’s son Andrew is actually in charge of the donut portion of this operation. The Gaffney Ledger wrote up a nice story about the family and the business a couple of years ago.
Much to my dismay, there weren’t too many options left. No blueberry cake donuts, no buttermilk bars and no daily special. We scored two maple crumb, a raised chocolate bar, a raised glazed, and after chatting up Lang and deliberating about what to get to round out our half dozen, we finally picked a couple more and ordered a few donut holes. Lang was so sweet and threw in a couple extra donut holes for good measure and rewarded our donut enthusiasm with a couple of extra donuts, saying the plain cake would go well with coffee in the morning before our long trip back to DC. In total we paid just $ 6 — the price of two bougie donuts where we live!
The donuts themselves were pretty good but the raised offerings would have faired much better earlier in the day. The maple crumb was by far my favorite of the group and is definitely worth a return visit the next time we’re visiting family in the area.
Lessons learned:
— the hours are somewhat subjective, get there well before closing to ensure any donuts are available
— donuts are only made in the morning so the earlier you can get there the fresher they’ll be and the more choices you’ll have
— Sunny’s is like a sunny little piece of California in South Carolina — homemade and home operated donuts
— kill two birds with one stone and grab a donut while you pump your gas

Best doughnuts in town! Made fresh daily & the owners are so nice.
At Christmas they made doughnuts topped with nerds candy that were so good they were addictive!
Highly recommend.

What a great find. This is the best donut shop in the U.S. The apple fritters are what you dream of finding. It’s a good thing we don’t live near here. I’d have to do a lot of exercises to work off the daily indulgance I’d be forced to consume. Do not pass this shop up if you’re within 50 miles.

Sonnys is terrific! Only donut shop in town is best donut shop around! Love love love their donuts, and their other specialty items like the Blueberry bar is amazing. Terrific with coffee. The cinnamon rolls and bear claws are amazing! And when you leave they always tell you «have a sunny day!» Which is so great and u can’t help but smile when you leave and when you bite into one of their delicious treats

We found this on our way to Greenville from Charlotte. I like supporting local and this exceeded all of my expectations! These donuts are like nothing you’ve had before! All made fresh they are so incredibly good we begged her to open a shop in charlotte :-). You will not be disappointed by making a stop here!

By the powers invested in me by the Internet, I hereby proclaim Sunny’s fritters «Best Fritters on the Planet Earth.» When I dream of fritters, this fritter will now be what I dream of. I am oddly grateful that Sunny’s Donuts is 3 hours from where I live. I’d explode if I lived close to this place.
Ask for the fritters if not display out front.
Siri and Google maps get confused by the location. Maybe someone can help them out. It’s worth the hunt. Less than 5 minute drive off Exit 90 on I-​85 (Gaffney exit).

If you’ve ever had Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts, they are not even near half as good as Sunny’s. They use the highest quality of every ingredient and every donut lives up to the original name «doughnut». You can taste the delicious perfected dough and the glaze meet in harmony. Definitely a winner.

A lucky find one day. Great donuts, great service. A wonderful way to start off my day. If only I could have a Sunny donut everyday.

Friendliest folks, wide donut selection, local coffee, great price, incredible fritters and old fashioneds

We heard about Sunny’s from a friend. He showed me a picture of a Tiger Claw (a bear claw for the upstate of SC) that was bigger than his fist.
My wife and I went this morning and we were not disappointed. We got a basic yeast leavened glazed donut, a buttermilk bar, and the tiger claw.
The glazed donut was so tender — just delicious. The buttermilk bar had this perfect center and it was so perfect with the coffee. The tiger claw was sweet, cinnamon-​y, and huge!
We loved everything so much we got a half dozen to go to share with our friends. All those donuts and coffee cost just about $ 12. Crazy!
We will have to go back because we want to try everything. And we loved the service!
