Sugar Marmalade Reviews
Terrible experience at Sugar Marmalade today at the Nepean/Barrhaven location. They have decided to no longer honour their ‘deals’ on WagJag and Groupon, yet they are still selling the ‘deals’ with their location and the Rideau location listed. I think this is awful business practice and can’t believe they are allowed to get away with this! I do not recommend supporting this business!
Poor business ethics: We purchased a promotional Groupon a month ago, but the owners at the Ottawa location decided just this past week to stop participating. This demonstrates poor business tactics.
Highly discriminatory hiring practices. They stated on their hiring ads that they would not accept job applications from Hongkongers on Stream B Open Work Permits.

Sugar Marmalade is a charming cafe known for its tasty food and friendly atmosphere. The menu includes popular items such as takoyaki, cheese flavored popcorn chicken, and shaved ice. Recently, the restaurant has improved, offering a bright and clean environment with a new and clear menu. Customers have enjoyed dishes like fried tentacles, pho, chicken and shrimp fried rice, and pork cutlet sukiyaki, all praised for their good portions and fresh flavors. The cafe is slightly more expensive but provides a special experience, making it a great place for a date or a treat.
Visitors often highlight sweet options like brown sugar milk bubble tea, deep-fried peanut butter French toast bites, black sesame egg waffles, and black sesame ice cream. The shaved mango topped with fresh mango, lychee, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream has been described as absolutely amazing, with a smooth texture and perfect sweetness, served with coconut milk. Many find the food delicious and the atmosphere fun, encouraging repeated visits. While the place is usually lively, some customers noted that the staff can occasionally be distracted. Overall, Sugar Marmalade offers a satisfying experience with a variety of flavorful dishes and desserts to enjoy, along with great service and clean restrooms.
