Sunrise Donuts

Great donuts! Great prices. :) I was really embarrassed one day because my card was declined because I had gotten the new one in the mail and my current one was deactivated. The girl behind me payed. That was way beyond sweet. This is my regular donut stop.

Great donuts. They are fluffy, fresh and not over-​glazed. The donuts are consistent as well, so you won’t get a bad batch some days.

Excellent service, low low prices. awesome donuts… very convenient, clean and well kept. and within walking distance from where I live. I bought 2 cinnamon glazed twisters, a chocolate muffin and a dozen donut holes. they were delicious, will return again… :)

Donut selection is pretty legit. I usually get there around 8:30 in the morning and they’re fully stocked. I love their feta & spinach turnover pastry. It’s very close to where I work and fairly priced, so I can’t ask for much more!

I brought a couple dozen doughnuts to work for my coworkers and they were a HUGE hit! The customer service was excellent and the donuts were super fresh. Price was on point!

There are two things that I love in the morning, watching the sunrise and eating donuts. This place just so happens to be called Sunrise Donuts. Coincidence? I think not.
This place is very economical, so you won’t spend a lot, but you will get a lot of donuts. Aside from the cheap prices, this place really fills you up and prepares you for the morning to come.
Now for the food:
The Food: I had a chocolate frosted donut, the giant cinnamon roll, and the kolaches (jalapeño/​cheese sausage wrapped in soft bread, AKA «pig in a blanket»).
Chocolate Frosted Donut: PICK ME UP. Sweet and chocolately without being too much. Best eaten right when they come out warm since you get the light and fluffy texture of the donut. The best part is when you bite into it, the glazed frosting cracks, you hear the soft crunch, and your mouth meets the warm and sweet donut. Their chocolate frosted donut is something I would wake up early for.
Giant Cinnamon Roll: ONLY $ 1. Huge cinnamon roll about the size of a human head! Definitely something you can share with a friend or family member. Sweet and glazed with a very simple cinnamon flavor. Although it is only $ 1, it tastes like a generic cinnamon roll that you can bake from a premade Pillsbury cinnamon roll. If you don’t have the time to make cinnamon rolls, this place will get it to you for cheap. However, the simple and generic cinnamon flavor and generic sugar sweetness, combined with the large size, made this a little tough to eat (–1 star). I would rather go for a leftover Cinnabon from the day before.
Kolaches: CHEESE, SPICE, and EVERYTHING SOFT and NICE. Usually, sausages either have too much salt, a strong preservative or nitrate aftertaste that burns the back of the throat, or lack any special flavors. The jalapeño, cheese sausage in the kolaches is just balanced so that it doesn’t ruin your morning. GET THESE HOT and you won’t regret them. The bun that wraps the sausage has yeast, which provides the sweet, soft, and fluffiness that make this kolache a great experience. This is pretty much a mini-​meal in itself.
The Verdict:
GET THEM HOT AND EARLY. Cheap donut shop with a great chocolate frosted donut and kolaches. The giant cinnamon roll is only $ 1, but it tastes pretty generic (you can make this at home). But for $ 1, you could satisfy a cinnamon roll craving. Definitely worth it to drop by. Even if it rains in Dallas, you know that there is a Sunrise Donuts that will make your morning a little better.

Awesome service, low low low prices, amazing donuts.
Honestly, I don’t know what makes a SUPERAMAZINGOMFG donut. Maybe it’s because I don’t eat them everyday. But you know what, I’ll probably figure it out here. I would agree with the 10,000 other reviews that these are the best donuts in town.
Believe the hype and go eat some freaking donuts.

I love this place! No complaints here. I could eat a ton of those lovely, soft cloud, melt in your mouth, warm, decadent glazed donuts. The king of King donuts would be the glaze twist that they sprinkle cinnamon on top THEN the glaze to trap the cinnamon OMG! …I have to calm down… whew! The fat boy in me was getting excited. Try them out if you want a perfect, original donut that’s not as sweet as a Krispy Kreme.

I had the warm apple fritter a blueberry donut. Both were delicious. The apple fritter had a buttery, slightly crunchy edge that was indulgent. I’d spend more calories here if I lived close.

Hooray they were open on the 4^th of July!
Came in to grab some donuts for mi amigos before we headed out to celebrate. Was happy to see they have a decent selection of kolaches as well as donuts. I went with some sausage & cheese kolaches, red white n blue donuts, an éclair, an apple fritter, and one cream filled and one raspberry filled. The donuts were fresh, but the service is a little slow (they hand fill each donut when you order them). The had some other breakfast items I’ll come back to try, a spinach and feta pastry and some good looking breakfast sandwiches. They also have a cooler full of milks, juices, and coffee drinks. Bonus, they offer to warm up your kolaches for you.

So the glazed donuts are the best. There is something unique about the lightness of them. Usually, I’m not a fan of super, sweet glazed donuts, but these are different. They are airy and the glaze isn’t overly sweet. I could easily eat a couple of these and that’s saying a lot coming from me.

Donuts are either completely generic, or artisan. This place falls into the latter. I’ve lived in the Design District for almost two years, and drive on Oaklawn almost every single day. I’ve driven past this place because I just assumed it was the generic donuts.
Generic donuts, in my opinion, are the ones that are like ‘restaurant in a box’. They are always the same, exact, deep fried, glazed mess without any flavor. Seeing as I workout daily, that’s not an OK way to spend my calories.
Sunrise is an exception. Sunrise is going to steal me away from Hypnotic most of the time. Hypnotic is definitely worth the trip if you haven’t been, and their donuts are much more artistic and trendy, and their chicken biscuits are divine. However, Hypnotic is a 30 minute trip for me in morning traffic, so I am very happy to have found equivalent quality.
Their donut spread is fairly traditional. Vanilla Ice, Strawberry, Chocolate, etc. I have tried the Strawberry Iced, Cinnamon Cake, and Coconut Iced. The coconut was my favorite, as I really love the fact that they top it with coconut flakes. It’s extremely sweet, as is the Strawberry. The Cinnamon was less sweet, but still amazing. All of the donuts have a great cake texture and completely forgo any of the greasiness you’d encounter in a generic shop.
They have a good assortment of cold drinks in the stand up refrigerators too.
Service is prompt and friendly.
Prices are very reasonable, with the donuts costing less than $ 1 on average.
I highly recommend this shop and I will be back.

Disappointed. These donuts are average. They are the typical Asian donut shop. Everyone is very nice. But all the donuts taste like the sugar biscuits from the Chinese restaurant. I don’t know if it’s old oil… the sausage rolls are bland. Wasn’t very happy with this place. Especially after reading all the great reviews.

AMAZING. Life changing. Not an understatement. Go to Sunrise. Buy dozens. Enjoy, then workout! I literally go every chance I get! Unfortunately, I had to leave Dallas last year and Sunrise is one of the things I miss most!

Woke up with a craving for donuts, looked at the clock to see that it was 11AM. When we headed to the donut shop, I was worried we would get stale left overs since it was so close to close. However, I was really surprised how friendly Kim was and as we were walking in, they were taking out fresh donuts from the oven. Their blueberry cake donut melted in my mouth, and I wish I had gotten more donut holes! So delicious!

Donuts are light and fluffy and just plain delicious. Owner is very nice and customer service is great. So glad to have found an non-​chain donut store near me. Will definitely be back.

I’ve come to this donut shop for years! And they never fail! The same husband and wife have owned this place for forever! I even saw the. Out and about and they remember me. Came up to me and spoke. Now that’s good customer service! I drive from oak cliff on the weekends to have donuts here! You should too!

Lives up to the hype! Was looking for donuts near work to share my craving with coworkers and was happy to find Sunrise Donuts. Even happier it wasn’t a chain! They bake seriously fresh, super fluffy donuts that practically melt in your mouth and offer many of your classic faves. I left with two dozen +1 variety pack and a bag of holes for $ 20 and change. Not bad! And office was happy with the Friday treats :)

In my quest to find the best donuts near me, I finally made my way to Sunrise Donuts. I won’t even bother using Kroger’s donuts as a point of comparison just because of how big of a difference there was with King Donuts.
Instead, how does Sunrise Donuts compete with the self-​proclaimed King of Donuts? Quite well! While the location is slightly more inconvenient (can’t stop by right after groceries), it’s right across from Zaguan’s on Oak Lawn. The «Donuts» sign might be a bit tough to spot at first, but no worries. And from first glance, this place already looked nicer than King Donuts.
The interior is all very clean and neat. The decorations fit in place and they have a nicer display. Their selection of donuts, like King Donuts doesn’t seem super impressive (they’re both small non-​chain donut stores) but they have the essentials. I ordered the same set of donuts here (glazed/​chocolate/​creamfilled) and 2 kolaches (sausage+cheese/sausage+cheese+jalapenos).
Their donuts are comparable to those at King Donuts, though I think they felt slightly fresher. You could also taste the fried batter a bit more which could be good or bad depending on your preference (for me it gave me the impression of being fresher). The kolaches were alright, but I’d definitely take King Donuts’ less carbs more meat and business kolaches.
As far as donuts are concerned, I’m pretty torn between the two. This place is certainly a bit prettier to look at, but the quality of food is a toss up.

Donuts are without a doubt my guilty breakfast pleasure (if you can even call it breakfast), and while I held off as long as I could, I finally caved and decided to give some of the Dallas donut shops a test drive. Sunrise Donuts was up first, and has set a pretty high bar.
Star 1 — How was the service and atmosphere?
Locally owned and operated in a convenient strip mall, Sunrise Donuts is quick and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and seem to cater to a steady flow of regulars, which is always nice to see. Even on Saturday morning, the line moved quickly and I was in and out in under 10 minutes. Star Granted.
Star 2 — How were the portions relative to the cost?
Reasonable without a doubt. I was grabbing a dozen for some friends and a large cinnamon bun for myself, and I was pleased to find that I only paid $ 8.20 for my mixed dozen:
and $ 1.00 for my cinnamon bun:
Those are fair, and while the maple bars, apple fritters, etc. ramped up towards the $ 2.00 mark, I was very pleased to walk out for well under $ 10. Star Granted.
Stars ¾ — How was the food?
My benchmark has always been the standard glazed, and I was pleased with Sunrise’s helping. Their glazed donut is light and airy with just the right amount of glaze. It wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, but it was very good and easily beat chains like Krispy Kreme. From there, cinnamon roll was solid while the powdered cinnamon was a tad on the weak side, but overall, I was pleased. Single Star Granted.
Star 5 — Would you eat it every day if you could?
There are quite a few donut options in the city, and as of present, Sunrise is the only one I’ve tried. I’m going to hold off here, but if I try say two more and find they don’t add up to Sunrise? I’ll come back and dish this star out. No Star Granted.
