After nearly four decades of fueling early mornings in Curtis Park, Broadway Donuts is calling it quits. The neighborhood fixture, which has been serving Sacramento for 37 years, will close its doors on Friday, Dec. 12, as its owners step away to retire and explore new career paths.
The closure timing and reasons were confirmed by ABC10, which reported that retirement, business challenges and plans to pursue different work all factored into the decision. The station noted that the bakery’s final day of service is set for Friday, Dec. 12.
Curtis Park Staple For Decades
For longtime regulars, the news hits right in the sweet tooth. Broadway Donuts has been a go-to stop for classics like the apple fritter and bear claw, drawing a steady stream of morning commuters and neighborhood regulars over the years.
The shop’s reputation has stretched beyond just word of mouth. It was previously highlighted in a guide to local doughnut favorites, where it was celebrated as one of Sacramento’s reliable and affordable spots for a fresh dozen, as reported by Hoodline. Business listings have echoed that status, regularly identifying the shop as a neighborhood fixture.
Customers’ Praise Appears In Reviews
The affection shows up online too. Review sites and local business directories are dotted with comments from repeat customers who praise the old-school vibe and fresh, made-on-site doughnuts.
The Chamber of Commerce business listing features numerous favorable reviews and notes from longtime patrons, highlighting how deeply the shop is woven into neighborhood routines, from weekday coffee runs to weekend family stops.
Final Days And What’s Next
For now, fans have only a short window left to grab a final glaze or one last apple fritter. ABC10 reported that the owners have not announced a buyer or new operator for the space, and details about what might replace Broadway Donuts have not been released.
Until closing time on Friday, Dec. 12, the shop plans to keep serving as it has for 37 years, giving Sacramento regulars one last chance to say goodbye in powdered sugar and sprinkles.
