Why do I think Suzy Q is the Krispy Kreme of Ottawa?
A bright yellow painted front is an unmissable sight to any passersby. But of course, that is not the reason for the overwhelming success that Suzy Q has achieved. The perfect balance of sugary treat and savory snack, with options whether you have a sweet tooth like me or not. This is a contributing element to its impeccable reputation. Also, one of the factors is the availability of both, classical and unique flavours. The denseness is almost absent so it results in the doughnut being soft and light. The addition of cardamom to the sugar mixture gives a surprisingly pleasant and distinct smell.
“If you like Krispy Kreme donuts, you’ll definitely love SuzyQ Doughnuts!!”

“LOVE THIS PLACE. This was definitely an amazing find and it’s a neighbourhood gem!!
Suzy Q has an average Google rating of 4.7 consisting of over 1,000 reviews and an average Yelp rating of 4.5.
In my opinion, you should try experimenting with one of these, “raspberry cassis”, “ cookies and cream”, “rocky road”, “maple bacon”, “dirty chocolate” and “blueberry vanilla fruit loop” However, the thing I can’t communicate more is that you can’t go wrong with any the flavours on offer. Another captivating thing about their donuts is the appearance of them, if I didn’t know better I would say any photos of them have been photoshopped. You’ve probably heard of “sandwich artists” at Subway, but Suzy Q has the real artists!
Opening hours are 7 AM to 7 PM, but they often open different hours on weekends, still you will always be able to find it open 9 AM to 5 PM. Suzy Q’s seating area is quite spacious and you can also get some work done whilst eating as wifi is available to all customers. They also offer your standard beverages and ice cream. They have also got a well established delivery service. The staff are quick and extremely helpful as you would expect. After all, customer service can make or break your overall experience. They somehow make the waiting line move fast whilst keeping customer service a priority.
To summarize, if you are visiting Ottawa then you should definitely make a visit. You will have probably heard that the prices are too high, but the level of quality is up there with one of the best. If you are already in Ottawa and have not tried it, then what are you waiting for? Go visit the Krispy Kreme of Ottawa, Suzy Q!
