Sunkist Bakery is home to Siouxland's best yeasted donuts, and it's also Sioux City's oldest bakery still in operation. It's also one of my personal faves! Here's what you should know about Sunkist Bakery:

Where is Sunkist Bakery?
Sunkist Bakery is located at 4607 Morningside Avenue in Sioux City, IA, just a few blocks from Morningside University and the Morningside branch library. There is ample free parking in Sunkist's lot, and there is additional free parking on the streets surrounding the bakery.
History of Sunkist Bakery
Sunkist Bakery has been making delicious food since 1932, making it the
oldest bakery in Sioux City that's still in operation. They've supplied many
local restaurants with rolls, pizza dough, and other dough and bread varieties throughout their decades of operation and continue to do so in the 2020s. According to the owners, Sunkist uses around 6,000 pounds of flour every week!
In 2019, Sunkist expanded to a second location on Hamilton Boulevard, which
had a drive through window, which I was a huge fan of. It unfortunately
closed as the world changed so much in the 2020s. I'd love to see them
expand again someday.
Inside Sunkist Bakery
Sunkist Bakery has cases of donuts and other baked goods, including cookies, cakes, and bars. Their donuts are primarily yeasted (I'd argue the BEST yeasted donuts in Siouxland) and include long johns, sprinkled covered donuts, classic glazed donuts, cinnamon rolls, jelly or custard filled donuts, apple fritters, and more. It's always so fun to see what they are offering on a given day. And if you're early enough, be sure to grab the brown paper bags of donut holes. They're so light and fluffy and they're also very inexpensive. I never leave Sunkist without at least one bag of them if I manage to get there before the donut holes sell out.
