    I was driving in Placerville near the Donut Factory. They were still open for the day... so of course I made a beeline to get over there to buy some donuts. D'oh donuts!!! The donuts are darn tasty. My all time fave of a cake donut is pretty amazing here. Plus the place is family ran and the prices are pretty reasonable. Prices are significantly cheaper than the shops in Folsom. It was near closing time, so the selection was not their full offerings. But I was still able to get some cake donuts. $1. I bought vanilla cake and chocolate cakes with varying frostings and toppings. Mmm. They even taste just as good the day after; I know since we had a couple of donuts we bought and ate the next afternoon. They were still cakey moist, tasty and fresh tasting! Other signature items besides the donuts are apple turnovers, berry handheld bakes, chocolate croissants, and regular croissants. $2.50. All of them are home made and fresh baked. Looking all so gorgeous sitting behind the enclosed glass counter. A couple of bonuses of this donut shop are that they sell coffee and espresso drinks. Plus they have a few tables inside and outside where you can sit a spell and enjoy the donuts. It's a clean, no frills type of place.

    Prices don't match what's charged. I questioned the prices and was gave some long drawn out reason why this Asian woman was justified for ripping me off(compared to the board that shares prices with customers). I paid more for a "mixed dozen" for $15. Got regular maple and chocolate donuts, nothing special and was charged $18. This may not seem like much but it adds up when your doing it to every customer. Just a heads up to watch out for this woman.

    Blueberry and chocolate donut with nut.

That restaurant moved down the road to a bigger location. Now it's the home for Sunshine Donuts. They have darn delicious donuts! I only tried their donuts; at least for now. They also sell bagels, breakfast sandwiches, hot coffee, and a humongous cold case of nonalcoholic drinks (milk, teas, sodas, seltzers, waters. juices, energy drinks, and coffee drinks). Lots of drink choices to quench your thirst even if donuts aren't your thing. I know my way around a donut. Having been a connoisseur from an early age, thanks dad. The donuts sat so prettily behind the glass counter. All so gorgeous without bubbling and cracked glazes. That tells me they know how to handle the various doughs and baking methods for the donuts. I bought one of each: cake, glazed and old fashion. And ate them right away. Mmm. Delicious. The vanilla cake with white frosting tasted rich and dense like a cake. Not heavy. The glazed donut was light, fluffy, with a slight all so prefect signature donut chew. Beautiful glazing, not too sweet. My favorite. The old fashion like the cake donut had a tasty cakey interior but classic crackly outside texture. The family that owns the business knows donuts! And are so welcoming, epitome of a local donut shop. Throwing out a history lesson: This area is informally called Gutenberg Corner. The Victorian house across the street was built around 1859 by the local mill owner. Then purchased in 1912 by pharmacist Gutenberg. He owned a 400+ acre ranch along with a pharmacy. Asian owned business.

I even confirmed the price during the phone call because I wanted to make sure I understood correctly. The order was very simple , plain doughnuts, half maple and half chocolate. When I came in on Wednesday to pick them up, I added 4 additional doughnuts at the counter for my family. The total came out to $62, which was more than double what I had been quoted. I asked if the amount was correct and explained that I had been told $30 for the original order. The employee recalculated it and still said it was correct, then asked if I still wanted them. Unfortunately, this put me in a very uncomfortable position because there were people behind me, my children were with me, and the doughnuts were for my daughter's school class. I felt embarrassed and pressured into paying an amount I was not prepared for based on the quote I had received. Mistakes happen, but the situation was handled with very little concern or effort to make it right. The experience left a bad impression, and I won't be returning.
