"I have lived around the corner from Sugar Shack for a few years now and have always enjoyed walking there to get a donut and a coffee. They have such a wide variety, but I usually stick to the same thing at most places I go. There can be some anxiety about trying something new, but today Jovan (I think that was his name- I really hope I got it right!) was so wonderful and helpful in helping me try out a different menu item than what I usually get. He seemed to be a bit newer there and was very friendly, making sure I felt comfortable taking my time deciding on what I wanted and helping me choose. He made sure to tell me about the specials they have, which no one has ever told me about. I thought he just meant seasonal donuts at first. I also learned they have an alternative coconut whipped cream which would be nice for my vegan friends. Sometimes when I’ve come here, I felt like an annoyance to the employees. I don’t take it personally because I also work in customer service with food, but to have such a knowledgeable and kind employee was very pleasant. There are many other lovely employees there! I just wanted to give a shoutout to Jovan. Not to mention the coffee is amazing! Featured in the photo are the Cronuts (they are absolutely amazing - had to get two!) and a Lemon Poppy donut."

"Thank you Sugar Shack for having so many vegan options! I traveled to Richmond for the marathon last weekend and these donuts really hit the spot afterwards. We definitely had to take some for the road to enjoy once we got back home."

"Tucked away on a quiet corner in the northern part of Richmond, this small donut shop may not look like much from the outside, but it’s an absolute gem for anyone who loves creative, delicious donuts. While the parking situation is a little tight—just a few spots out front—I had no trouble getting in and out quickly, which was a pleasant surprise. Once inside, the first thing that caught my eye was the incredible variety. This shop doesn’t just stick to the basics—they offer a wide range of unique and inventive flavors that you don’t typically see at your average donut spot. We decided to try a few different ones, but two really stood out: the espresso donut and the Samoa donut. The espresso donut had a rich coffee flavor that was bold without being overpowering—perfect for a morning pick-me-up or to pair with an actual cup of coffee. The real star of the show, though, was the Samoa donut. If you’re a fan of the Girl Scout cookie, you’re in for a treat. This donut was everything we hoped it would be—sweet, slightly chewy with that toasted coconut, caramel, and chocolate combination that hits all the right notes. The staff was friendly and the vibe inside was cozy, making it a pleasant experience all around. If you find yourself in the northern Richmond area and want to try something local and full of flavor, this little donut shop is well worth the visit"

"best donut shop ever!! $13 (after tax) for an assorted 6ct is an amazing price considering the wide variety of flavors and the unique flavors! top left: chocolate w/sprinkles top right: espresso middle right: cereal middle left: s'mores bottom right: maple bacon bottom left: strawberry w/ sprinkles"

"Huge variety of donuts, fair prices. Parking can be tight. Only gripe is on the apple fritter, very few apples in it :( looking forward to returning."
