absolutely love this spot. a coworker introduced me to the cruller puffs and i had to come by to get them for myself. it's easily one of my favorite donut formats, just so delicious and fun. and at a reasonable price! the staff / owners here are so nice and shared their recommendations with me as well when picking up a large order of a few dozen for my team. inside is a decent size! don't recall if there's much seating to eat indoors so i can't comment on that, but there's a nice gallery to view donut options and the menus are clear and easy to read. overall: 10/10 taste: 10/10 price: 10/10 love this spot! wish i lived closer and woke up a bit earlier (on weekends) to catch their open-hours try the cruller puffs!! read more

My coworkers and I were lucky enough to be gifted donuts from here by a regular. They were sooo delicious and well made and the box they came in was super cute as well! read more

Highly recommend trying out this local family owned donut shop. Freshly made in house daily. They open early at 5:30am and tend to sell out if you arrive too late in the morning, so recommend coming as early as possible if you want the best selection. I think selling out speaks to the quality of the donuts here though. I love the donuts here because they're fluffy, not too sweet, large, fresh, and affordable. It's a Cambodian owned donut shop, a remnant of the Donut King legacy that is Ted Ngoy. The owner is friendly and prides herself on not making her donuts too sweet in comparison to other places. Cost is $21-30 per dozen depending on how many specialty donuts you want. That's up to $10 less than Top Pot, and for much better quality. read more

The fritters are amazing. We got one of every kind, but the cherry is our favorite. We also bought a couple of crullers, and they were SO. GOOD! But, on a later trip, we learned that those are only sold on certain days. The only thing I wasn't a fan of were the sausage rolls. The rest of the fam thought they were good though. read more

They have the best crullers anywhere. Service is excellent. Staff is cheerful. Prices are reasonable.

Small local shop with friendly service and a variety of donuts. The donuts are fluffy and have a homey feel - simple but effective. I visited around 11 on a weekend and they were already out of a few options so I suggest visiting early! read more

Sunrise Donuts & Espresso - Inside - Donuts Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Been coming here for years, and it's the best donut place in western Washington. Krispy Kreme and the other chains are good, but these donuts are better. Quick stop, and you're on your way, just a small quaint shop, and the staff and owners are super friendly. Supporting local businesses is easy when there's amazing places like this. read more

Donuts were okay. I recommend the little crullers. Service was solid. Shop was clean and tidy.

My favorite donut place on the east side, very delish and not overwhelmingly sweet. I usually get their bacon maple bar! read more

With the closure of Top Pot donuts in Redmond it was time to find a new donut shop. I hadn't been to Sunrise Donuts in quite a long time. The place is the same and the doughnuts were fabulous. The service was really good. Looks like I found a new weekend stop. read more

Without a doubt, the best donuts anywhere in the greater area. The donuts are fresh, not too sweet, reasonably priced, and delicious. Their buttermilk bars are my favorite, along with fritters like the banana and blueberry. But honestly, everything is good. It's a small space, and they will sell out of things if you arrive later than 10am on a weekend. If you get there early though, you may even be able to taste the donuts still warm. Service is very friendly and fast. It's a great local business, and you should definitely support them. read more

Sunrise Donuts is in the funny strip mall right where you get on 520W from W Lake Sammamish Parkway, convenient to downtown Redmond. I could see it being tricky to get in and out of the parking lot during morning commute, but I've only been there on the weekend when there's plenty of parking despite the constant flow of donut lovers in and out of the shop. They have a pretty typical selection of raised/cake/bar/filled donuts, not a wild amount because the shop isn't that big, but the star attraction, imo, is the cruller puffs. These seem to me like Hong Kong egg puffs (hard to find!), just with some glaze in addition to the usual powdered sugar. They look kind of like cream puff shells, and similarly have a big hollow inside, but they're softer and have an eggy flavor - you won't be able to eat just one! They also carry legit Vietnamese coffee! Like I said, the shop is small, but well organized. When you walk in, there's a bottle drinks cooler to the left, so people know to line up there. Then you choose your donuts, and the hot coffee station is past that. In the front corner, there are a few bar style seats. Service has been quick and friendly. I've already been back, and it's going to be a regular for me! read more

Well, what's not to like about donuts, right? Well, they can be screwed up, but not at Sunrise Donuts. This is the epitome of an old school donut shop and they do donuts right. The blueberry fritter was just the right density and had small little blueberries and was just amazing. We got them for an event and they were well enjoyed. The remainder went to Redmond's hard-working police officers and while it might be a stereotype that cops like donuts, I'm sure that our officers really enjoyed the 4 dozen that we had leftover. They deserve it! When I went to pick them up, the staff was so great and had them ready to go. This is a gem in Redmond that I hope will always be there. read more

Donuts were fresh and very fluffy. Maple old fashion was great but what stood out was the 3 different fritters (cherry,apple, blueberry). Delicious crispy outside with soft and decadent insides. Not overly sweet like some competitors. My ultimate favorite at Sunrise Donuts is their bear claw. If you love apple pit filling and bear claw, this is a must try. The bear claw has apple pie filling. OMG. I highly recommend going earlier as they sometimes run out of donuts and close by 10am. Love that they serve my favorite Caffe D'arte. Blows away Starbu&k$ read more

This place has become a favorite! It's a local donut shop open early but will sometimes run out of donuts since it's so popular! Service is usually quick, and we get fresh donuts or kolaches. My favorite is the maple glazed or the glazed sour cream/old fashioned. Usually order is a spicy kolache and a donut. Will always go back for more! Happy eating! read more

YUMMM! YAASSS for local donut shops! These were brought into my office. Some of the freshest, most fluffy donuts I've ever had! I tried the maple bacon bar and the cinnamon apple filled bear claw. They had super soft dough and amazing toppings/fillings. Love the variety of donuts they have too! read more

A work colleague brought in donuts from Sunrise for a rare in-person work event and everyone fell in love with them. The crazy thing is that she brought in just one donut type - the cruller puffs! They only serve them Thursday through Sunday, and some of the times there's a wait for them. I've even heard they sometimes sell out of them, so get there early and expect to wait in a line for your donuts. But they're well worth it! I brought my family and they got different types of donuts and my wife got a coffee that she really liked. Win/win. read more

The only place I have found with Texas-style "donuts and kolaches" in the area. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong because it would be nice to have other options. The kolaches here are a 2/5. The donuts are 4/5. Overall I'm giving 4 stars because at least they exist. read more

There were barely any donuts and the ones they had looked dried out. I asked if there were other ones they could offer and was told that was all they had. Horrible!! They could have put more effort in their food. read more

Always amazing donuts. The staff are always friendly and patient while waiting for us to decide which delicious treat to choose. It's a small shop but people seem to understand how the line works and are courteous when the line goes out the door. read more

This small business is absolutely amazing with fresh donuts that are made daily! I've tried several of their donuts and my favorite might just be the maple bacon bar! I've had their kolaches a couple of times as well and definitely recommend for a quick, hot breakfast. Service is absolutely fantastic and everyone is friendly :) read more

Sunrise Donuts & Espresso - Absolutely amazing maple bacon donut! - Donuts Near Me - Redmond, Washington

Wow these guys really are popular and I feel like they started running out of some selection at barely 10AM on a Sunday. Prices are decent enough, but the donuts are just average. The best are the regular glazed (super airy and light) and their variety of fritters. The Boston cream was overly sweet (like diabetic level) and the chocolate was almost artificial-like. I'm a bit disappointed in their cake donuts too as the flavor was just bland. Although I'm not sure I'd return for the donuts, at least service was fast and friendly. read more

Great donut spot! Fresh, soft, and delicious donuts! We got there at 9:45a and they still had a lot to choose from and it got extremely busy for a Saturday. We chose to eat our donuts at the counter (me, my bf, and three little girls) and a lot of the customers enjoyed seeing us chow down on the goodies in front of us. Our girls got maple bars and the bf and I got a glazed milk bar and a ham and cheese croissant. Both were equally delightful! The milk bar reminded me of a softer old fashioned cake donut. They make espresso as well and the drip coffee is self serve. read more

I heard a lot of good things about this donut shop and didn't even realize it was so close to the microsoft campus!!! We stopped by right before they closed and got some of the following: Cherry fritter - not the best but the flavor was pretty good. Old fashioned - pretty standard, nothing spectacular Tiger tail - very light and fluffy, it's like a cinnamon roll but lighter and no frosting Maple buttermilk bar - super good! Has a subtle crunch but also very light inside and flavor was good Crueller puffs - ok these are like crack, they are super fluffy and light, super yummy and you can easily eat a dozen of these. --- we originally got 3, the cashier gave us 2 extra, and after tasting, my husband got a dozen... Overall, I would come back for the crueler puffs for sure! As well as the buttermilk bar! Want to try some of their bars and yeast donuts next time as well read more

Y'all, I love this donut shop. Clearly Redmond loves it too, because the line is usually out the door. They keep it moving, though! No seating, so plan to take your goodies to-go. With all of the fun choices available, which donut should you start with? FOR SWEET TOOTHS: Bacon maple bar, which uses real bacon for the crumble topping. FOR CALMER PALATES: Classic old-fashioned (w/o glaze) or crueller and a latte is a CHOICE combination. read more

Get here early on the weekend if you want their famous cruller puffs! I mean it. I visited Sunrise Donuts & Espresso around 9:30ish on a Saturday morning and there was a line out the door. And there was a line behind me and a line when I left the shop. Located in Redmond, right off of 520, Sunrise is one of the shops in a small business strip. Parking was easy to find. The line went by fast; during this time of COVID-19, they are only allowing four people into the shop. I was unsure of what to get, but had read that the cruller puffs were what they were known for and they only make them on the weekends. By the time I got into the shop, they only had six cruller puffs left, so I bought all of them. (Sorry to the person behind me.) Cruller puffs are three for a dollar, so a great price. I also tried a chocolate nutter bar and a basic chocolate donut. If you pay with card and it's less than four bucks, they charge a small fee, so you may as well get another donut! In addition to donuts, they have a full coffee menu, including Vietnamese iced coffee. Staff was super friendly and welcomed everyone with a huge smile. No matter how busy the place got, they seemed to take everything in stride. I also saw that people were able to order ahead of time, so they were picking up their orders and were in and out quickly. The cruller puffs were my favorite of the bunch I got. They were super flaky, light and liked how I could taste the egg! They're definitely the item to get on the weekends here, and can see why the sell out. The nutter butter was A-OK. It had more of a cake-y texture, so was heavy. The chocolate donut was good though, as it was lighter and flaky. Stick with their basic donuts here. And the prices are so affordable! Glad to have checked out Sunrise, and count me in for another visit very soon. read more

The donut shop has one job to have donuts ready. I went in there and they had no chocolate donuts available at all.

I went on a Sunday morning right when it opened (6am). I wasn't too surprised to see several others waiting for it to open, since other reviews had mentioned a line. I was the 3rd in line but despite being early, I think there were already a handful of donuts that were already gone and I had overheard the worker essentially say that the donuts you see are the all donuts they have (don't quote me on that). Even right at opening, I would expect a line but as long as you get there a few min before, it should be fine. Their donuts were soft without being too overly sweet. I know they're known for their cruller puffs, but I didn't get to try them. Hopefully next time when I have an early morning :) read more

I was up earlier than usual due to an 8am meeting so decided to finally try something from Sunrise Donuts. On a Thursday morning at like 9am, there wasn't a line. I got 3 crullers, a ham and cheese croissant, and a cinnamon crumb(?) twist. I started with the croissant and while I'm not going to think too much of a donut shop's croissants, this one was weirdly breadier feeling than I expected. Maybe I've been buying too many nice croissants but this wasn't a must buy. The crullers were bomb. They're so light and airy with a light glaze. If they're available, they're a must get. You can't help but eat them quickly. Compared to the cruellers, the twist wasn't nearly as outstanding. There wasn't anything wrong with it just wasn't as sweet as I expected. It was probably due to having it after the crullers. I might not get this particular twist again but I'd def come back to try a different donut. read more

My boyfriend works near Sunrise and has been raving about the donuts here for YEARS. Redmond is pretty out of the way for me so it wasn't until recently that I finally tried this place out for myself. We got up early on a Sunday morning and planned a day date just for Sunrise and it was 100% worth it! Sunrise may not look like much on the outside but one should never judge a donuterie by its storefront. It's located in a small business building right off the road, almost easy to miss. There's a lot of parking outside and not a lot of seating inside, which seems to work since most customers get their orders to-go. The store interior is very no-nonsense and not flashy at all, because who needs any of that when you have good donuts anyway? You absolutely have to order some cruller puffs, which are only available Thursday through Sunday. We got three for $1 and I probably could've eaten 12 by myself because these things are AMAZING. It has a dainty, airy, and melts in your mouth kind of texture that I've never encountered before. Truly an enlightening experience. Cruller puffs aside, we also ordered a maple bacon bar and a cherry fritter: the bar was perfectly soft with a well-balanced maple frosting & the fritter was deliciously tart, fragrant, and far from greasy. It's worth noting that, even with a ton of donut variety, some started selling out as early as 9:30am and almost everything was gone by noon when we visited. Go early if you want your pick because Sunrise's loyal band of customers don't play around-- we overheard several of them talk to the staff about dropping in first thing in the morning on consecutive days just to acquire their favorite donut. This place is probs called Sunrise for a reason! Enjoy the cruller puffs (and don't forget to send me a dozen)!!! read more

A nice traditional donut shop. Looked like maybe family owned. Pretty popular, there was a line out front when we arrived. I like that it wasn't trying to be too trendy like some of the fancy hipster donut shops. A must try is the cruller puffs 3 for $1. They melt in your mouth. I also had the chocolate bacon bar and a drip coffee. read more

DELICIOUS!!! Probably one of the best donut spots on the Eastside. The service is quick and easy.

Absolutely loved the donuts here! I'd been craving their cruller puffs for years and they were as good as I remembered. It was like eating puffs of heaven - not super sweet. Their apple and blueberry fritter were light and airy too with good amounts of fruit. The cake donut had a generous amount of maple glaze and was also delicious. There was a line out the door on a Sunday morning since they only allowed 1-2 parties in at a time, but the line moved fairly quickly. Can't recommend this place enough and can't wait to be back. read more

We tried this place for the first time over the weekend. The employees were very helpful and patient while we pick out our donuts. Everything looked yummy. We ordered the crueler bites which were amazing. We also tried tiger tales, bacon maple bars , and banana and apple fritters. We enjoyed all of them. My only issue is the banana fritter was raw in the middle. They made an off menu latte for me and it was delicious! We will definitely be back soon! read more

The blueberry fritter is one of the best donuts I've ever eaten. Absolutely addictive. The blueberry makes it even better and lends a wonderful, subtle flavor to the perfectly fried, fluffy and crispy fritter. The maple bacon bar is wonderfully executed as well. The bacon bits are chopped up and just the right thickness and fried to perfection. The maple frosting isn't overly sweet and of course is a perfect combo with the bacon. read more

Sunrise has the BEST donuts I've ever tried, hands down. We get donuts here every time we want to celebrate something (birthdays, graduations, etc.), and if we have nothing to celebrate, we find something to celebrate because these donuts are so insanely worth it. P.S. Just make sure to keep some extra napkins nearby as you're eating the cruller puffs because it can get messy with all the sugar! Before ya know it, it's a puff-tastrophe :-) + for those of y'all from Texas, you'll be happy to know that they have kolaches here!! SO good! read more

I heard about Sunrise Doughnuts from someone's post on Facebook. I stopped by one morning when taking the pups to the dog park. I grabbed a couple doughnuts. The gal gave me a crueler to try. I got in the car and grabbed it first. Took one bite then went right back in and ordered a dozen. They melt in your mouth. Sunrise is now our go to place on weekends when heading to the dog park. Best ever! There's always a line of people. I've learned to order ahead and get there early. read more
