Sugar Daddy Donuts started with three different journeys that somehow led to the same sweet idea. Shannon spent over 20 years in engineering before moving his family to the Gulf Coast in 2022 to finally work for himself, bringing along years of barista experience and a love for great coffee. Ash’s sugar rush came during a trip to Siesta Key with his wife Susie and 2 kiddos, where a tiny donut shop, and the daily smiles it brought his kids stuck with him long after the vacation ended. Meanwhile, Eric made his way to Pensacola from Los Angeles in 2020, where his background in marketing and his longtime friendship with Ash, made it clear he was all in when the idea started to take shape.

When the three of them came together, Sugar Daddy Donuts became more than just a business, it became a shared vision. A place where families can create memories, where mornings start a little sweeter, and where that fresh-donut smell hits you the second you walk in. Whether you’re a local, a tourist, or just chasing the perfect beach morning, we’re here to give you something worth waking up for,

and we’re just getting started!
