Suzy Q Doughnuts: a Hintonburg staple

Here’s a magic trick, we can get your mouth drooling just by saying one word…

SuzyQ.

Anyone who has been inside of the bright yellow store front on Wellington West knows exactly what the hype is about. Started by a husband and wife duo, SuzyQ has become a staple in the Ottawa food scene. Their doughnuts are always fresh, unique and a crowd pleaser. 

From humble beginnings, the husband and wife duo would bring their, now iconic, Sugar Munkki to local farmers markets. Almost instantly demand skyrocketed and people wanted more. (If you’ve ever tried the Sugar Munkii you’ll understand why.) Needing to keep up, they expanded their offerings and opened a small wooden shack in Hintonburg in 2012. Four years later, they found their permanent home that we now know and love.

This happy looking store sits proudly at 969 Wellington West. At any point in the day the store is filled with people looking for a treat – ranging from moms with kids, to foodies, to the construction workers from down the street (thanks!).

SuzyQ knows how to keep its regulars happy while still appealing to a wide variety of tastes. They always have their best-sellers in rotation – the maple bacon, d’oh nut, cinnamon toast crunch and more. Their creativity shines through when they are experimenting with more seasonal flavours. They mix and match different combinations that some of us would never dream of yet they always taste delicious – spicy pineapple, mangoconut and lime margarita to name a few. To round out their offerings, they partner with other local businesses – making various fillings, coffee, etc.

With SuzyQ being under a 10-minute walk from Hintonburg Connection and the prices being very reasonable, we’re sure they will be seeing more of us and our tenants… and we can’t wait!
