Introducing Sunshine Doughnut Co.

Looking for the doughnut shop that true doughnut aficionados go to? Look no further than Sunshine Doughnut Co. in downtown Burlington. Owned and operated by dynamic duo Bart and Kimberly Nadherny, this unique doughnut shop offers a world of sugary delight that will have you forgetting about your worries.

The Art of Yeast-style Doughnuts

At Sunshine Doughnut Co., they specialize in yeast-style doughnuts, the lighter, airier alternative to cake doughnuts. The secret to the success of these delectable treats lies in the time and care taken to make each batch. The bakers arrive at the shop at 1 am to begin the 4-hour preparation process using an old family recipe and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. And, in true artisanal style, they even make the toppings themselves.

Care and Precision that Goes into Every Doughnut

Each doughnut is a work of art, reflecting the level of detail and precision that goes into its decoration. The employees are carefully trained, with a focus on developing skills that will serve them well in the future. This dedication to craftsmanship makes Sunshine Doughnut Co. more than just a doughnut and coffee shop – it’s a true studio of doughnut artisans.

The Store's Building and Iconic Sign

When it came to renovating the store, Bart and Kim did everything themselves – from tiling and painting to installing fixtures and fittings. The building itself, half of which was originally a Chinese restaurant, has been transformed into a doughnut lover’s paradise. And the iconic sign outside? Let’s just say that a simple sign was never going to do – Kim wanted a giant donut, and her husband supported her every step of the way. The result was a year-long project to create and get the sign approved by the city, but today it’s a national landmark and was featured on Astound (https://www.astoundarchfab.com/sunshine-donuts) as a “highly visible landmark and a very popular social media opportunity.” It is also a symbol of the passion and dedication that goes into every aspect of Sunshine Doughnut Co. 

Why Sunshine Doughnut Co. is Worth the Extra Cost

Now, you may be wondering why the prices at Sunshine Doughnut Co. are a little higher than at other doughnut shops. It’s simple – the product is different. The ingredients are carefully sourced, the preparation is time-consuming and done by hand, and the end result is a doughnut that is truly unique and delicious.
