Sunshine Bakery and Deli

Always great food and great service. The Sunshine Bakery has been an Augusta institution for soooo long. I personally have been going there since coming to the area for college, well over 30 years ago. It's still a great place to get a delicious sandwich, cup of soup, and Sunshine tea...and don't forget to get a sweet treat for dessert, like their yummy Napoleons or Josephines! I can't pick a favorite sandwich or soup, as I love them all. If you go in, ask for Gene...he'll hook you up right, and is a great conversationalist. Support our local, small businesses. They are the backbone of our community.

If they have the gingerbread I recommend buying at least 10. Those suckers are SO good. I ate a whole one by myself (I was supposed to be sharing it) and it was INCREDIBLY easy to devour one by myself. They are SO soft and flavorful. I got an assortment of other goodies but felt inclined to write about the gingerbread first!! If they're open you should definitely step inside!!

A local business worth supporting. The entire staff was helpfully and friendly. The owner introduced himself to me and my wife, welcoming us to the area. Their deserts and coffee are very good, and at a reasonable price. I got a lemon bar and a danish to go with my coffee.

I've been going here for 40 years. Its tiny and a bit spartan but this German deli puts out the best little sandwiches and soup. Daily Double is a rye bread turkey sandwich with a cup of soup (potato, lentil, maybe split pea). Old school deli cookies, house made rye and German pastries. They were making sunshine tea way before it became an Arnold Palmer. Only open for lunch but a little gem downtown.

Haven't been there in quite some time. Friendly, engaging and courteous staff plus the world's best home made soups and s to die for hot pastrami on rye with a spicy brown mustard rd. YUMMMM. Need to get back there soon!

It truly is the best place in town! Soups and sandwiches are delicious and the cookies and desserts are off the chain. It's like eating in your living room at Grandmoms house with a whole bunch of friends. Gene Gurley has brought Sunshine to another level and is holding his own there.

I first visited Sunshine Bakery back in 1982 with my co-worker from the municipal bldg. I hadn't been in a few years but their food is still great. I like the daily double which is the soup of the day and sandwich. Keep up the good work!!!

I am from out of town and was trying to get some sweets delivered to one of my other branches on Valentines none the less! I called at 3:09 and they close at 4 and the gentleman offered to deliver what I needed after 4 when he closed. I had no idea what to order so I told him just make me a box with some goodies in it and he did just that. After he delivered the items that office called to say how delicious everything was. He went above and beyond and provided exceptional customer service!

Came just before closing time, owner greeted us and told us to take a seat. Had the soup of the day and split a sandwich between us, both were good and we didn't feel rushed to leave. Very good experience, planning on going back.

I lived in Augusta way back in the late 1980's and we used to go to Sunshine Bakery all the time for a soup and sandwich. It was always so good but I think it was the barley bean soup that was my favorite. I had a good friend who was in the hospital being treated for cancer who had just had his arm amputated. He was so ill and weak that I brought him a big bowl of Sunshine Bakery barley bean soup. It was his first real meal since his surgery and he just loved it! For many years afterward (until he eventually passed away), he repeatedly thanked me and always said that it was the best soup he had ever tasted and it really helped him to feel better. I miss my friend and think of him often but when I recall this story it always makes me feel better. Thank-you Sunshine Bakery!

I've been coming to Sunshine my whole life. I moved to Charleston 5 years ago and make it a point to come to Sunshine EVERY time I visit home. You can't beat the Daily Double & Lentil Soup! Less than $3 for the best turkey sandwich and soup in all of GA? I challenge anyone to find a better deal for such high quality. I recommend & bring everyone I possibly can to this place - definitely a classic!

Use to go to Sunshine Bakery when I was a little girl. It hasn't changed one bit in 60 years. They still have the Date Bars. That was my mother's favorite. If all else fails eat a date bar from Sunshine Bakery. Thanks to new owners for keeping the past alive for the Baby Boomers.

I frequented this restaurant years ago when I worked in Augusta. I am rarely in Augusta anymore but happened to drive by while visiting the area and stopped in. It was just as I remembered it from years past. The owner was very friendly and made us feel at home.

Excellent baked goods. My kids went here on a field trip and head a great time. They were excellent hosts. I really hope places like this become staples of downtown Augusta.

Hidden GEM. hiding in plain sight. On Broad Street. Delicious lunch, great service, AND???? COOKIES. COOOKIES. rainbow, thumbprints, macaroons, wrinkles, and, and, and... Lots of plants, homey atmosphere, did I say? Great food. Fan. Right here. You might want to be, too.

Best corned beef in the south. Sandwiches perfect. Soup choices for and good flavor. Real food, real taste. Great conversation. Friendly service.

new owners added some really great items while keeping the classic menu of the Sunshine bakery that we all love. I look forward to trying new yummy dishes

Bastion of great baked goods. The rye bread is the best. Also,they have always had a great Sit Down and Dine menu. The place is a Time Machine!

Split pea soup is the bomb. I made my husband promise me he would bring it to me if I was ever seriously injured and had to be hospitalized.

Honestly- very delicious. Grandma style “old world” cookies that remind you of holidays and baked with love. 100% recommend.
