SuzyQ Doughnuts Hintonburg

My introduction to Suzy Q was in my Kanata office, when someone brought in a box of their doughnuts and said, “What do you mean you haven’t heard of Suzy Q?” Valid point—it’s truly a classic Ottawa spot now.

Ottawa has no shortage of amazing doughnuts, but Suzy Q consistently tops the list. Their rotating seasonal doughnuts are always inventive, but my absolute favourite was a strawberry cronut they had one summer—I would honestly give up my firstborn for them to bring it back. It perfectly captured the taste and feeling of summer.

From their standard menu, the Boston Cream is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. I bring all my friends who visit Ottawa to Suzy Q to try it, or bring it to them—it’s that good. The cream is light and not too sweet, and the thick layer of chocolate on top is just perfect. It always seems to be the first one to sell out, and for good reason.

If I have one plea, it’s this: please extend your hours! I would love to grab a Suzy Q doughnut at 7:30 pm—some of us need a late-night doughnut fix.

One last thing I appreciate: they pay their staff a living wage. It’s clear that this is a place that cares not just about the doughnuts, but about the people who make them.

Give Susan Q, as I call them, a try if you have not tried them yet.

Every time I am in Hintonburg to go to the Record Center, I swing by SuzyQ. The doughnuts are delicious and the service is always really good. My only qualm is that I wish they could squeeze another table or two in so I could sit down inside and read with my coffee on a rainy day!

The Raspberry Cassis has been my true love since day one. Well done SQ!

Fresh and delicious donuts! Worth stopping in.

Yummy 😋 🤤

Bit expensive and donuts are too sweet for me but my friend loved them! Staff is great

Amazing donuts! Just an observation please make less sugar alternatives. I would order more if the coating had less sugar. Or have a plain donut option. Those is one of the best doughnuts I have ever had but sometimes I find myself removing some of the coating or glaze since it’s too much sugar in my mouth.

If you want a cup of iced coffee, some warm sunshine, and a C'est la Vie vibe, try one of this shop's donuts on the patio. You'll probably want to go back again soon. The dough is in very good condition, the sweetness is not as strong as you might think, and the freshness will not disappoint you.

The people who work in service are completely incompetent, you are the pure that I see again. 11/05/2025 a 11h

This was my first time here, and the selection of 8 they had were mouth-watering!

We had to take one of each to try what was left, as we got there towards the end of the day.

The service was quick, efficient and very kind. Thank you!

The shop has a really nice vibe to it, not too distracting, and leaving your eyes naturally flowing towards the doughnut selection! 🍩

Amazing donuts! Highly recommend
getting the Cookies and Cream Cheese if
You enjoy a cream cheese topping and cookie crumble!

The best doughnuts I’ve ever had, hands down! We got cookies and cream cheese and the sugar munkie and can’t wait to try more flavours!
