Sugar Lips Donut Co.

If you're after a hot donut and a coffee with a beach view, Sugar Lips Donut Co. is the stop to make in Silver Sands, Western Australia. It's a little caravan-style set-up right by the water, next to a park, and it has made an impression with its old-school donuts made fresh and served warm.

Those donuts are what keeps customers coming back. They're soft and fluffy on the inside with a light crisp outside, sweet and sticky the way a proper donut should be, without tipping into sickly. Cinnamon donuts, lemon meringue, and a Bueno topping are among the offerings that get mentioned. One local said the donuts still tasted fantastic a few hours later back home. Another suggested the range could use a maple option.

The coffee gets a good run as well. Regulars describe a strong, old-school black coffee, and there's an iced latte for warmer mornings. One visitor who likes theirs thick and creamy finds it just fine rather than special, so the donuts are the real headline here.

What we hear again and again is how friendly the ladies running it are, with the owner and staff described as lovely and down to earth every visit. There's a loyalty card going, and at least one regular admits to collecting a pile of half-finished ones. One local reckons it's good value for what you get.

You can order takeaway or sit down and eat on site. There's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park, free parking, and card and tap payments are accepted. Seating includes a couple of covered areas, plus open spots and the grass, with clean restrooms nearby. One visitor drove well out of their way on the strength of word of mouth and went home happy.

It's a morning spot, so check the hours before you head out, especially if you're planning a weekend visit.
