Customer Reviews

First time in the new location. The place is light and bright and has a nice atmosphere. Problem is the way the counters are set up. There are plastic, clear screens covering most of the tops of the counter (which I understand) but then there's a bunch of stuff as well making it hard to even see, talk and hear the employees. Adding to the difficulty communicating is loud music. There are no prices on any of the doughnuts, none of the doughnuts are labeled either. You have to try and ask how much and what t

Great selection of donuts!!! Got a couple of breakfast burritos ,donuts and iced coffee. Everything was delicious!!

Wide selection of croissants, donuts, and pastries. All delicious and all worth the price. Amazing apple fritters. Also, does a really fun giant birthday donut!!!

Honestly I just love this place so much and everyone who works there! The food is amazing, the donuts are delicious every time! So grateful for the drive in option, and the vibe inside!

Our first visit here. Hadn't noticed it when driving thru town previously. Found it via word of mouth (even a specific search for "Bakery" and "donuts" on Google Maps failed to find it), which isnt necessarily a completely negative thing, as it shows growth potential (to me anyways). The place is clean, no gross smells; staff is informative, friendly, and timely; staff interaction with each other is relaxed and focused on the ever almighty Customer; the dining area had 8 or so customers all seated and very

1 out of 2 doughnut shops in the county. Beautiful display, great atmosphere, offers drive through. Only downside is sometimes the sugar glaze gets burnt and tastes more caramelized than a normal doughnut ??????? Varieties of croissants like artichoke to pepperoni ??

No A/C in 100+ degree weather so don't eat in. But their food, donuts, and coffee are phenomenal. Their staff are amazing, accommodating, super friendly and will sub just about anything you want. Drive through is slow but at least you can sit in your car with the A/C on. I feel so bad for the staff who have to work in that heat. Yet, they remain professional and friendly.

I was going thru the drive thru to order. A young lady comes out to take my order. Well, the credit card machine was not working.3x she ran my card thru. I ended up paying in cash, found out later that my card did go thru. This has happened twice. Paid for my stuff twice, but I caught it. Not gonna go back.

I got coffee and doughnuts here every morning last year during my birthday trip. The lady was very nice and i like that you can order in the drive-through. I am looking forward to returning this week for my birthday trip.

If you want quality and time friendly, then Susie Q's is your place. You are able to call in your order ahead of time and/or they do have a drive-thru service as well. You get both the quality in the food and the time saver in the service. And they are always awesome and friendly. I recommend getting yourself the Sammy. Perfect solution for a quick and tasty lunch. If it's breakfast time then I highly recommend the turkey or ham croissants.

We went in to get some donuts but didn't expect gourmet food! Apple fritters, blueberry fritters, lemon Danish, blueberry cream cheese Danish, and the best donut holes we've ever had. I want to try the croissant sandwiches next time!

Visited a few times while on vacation. Staff is amazing, especially Taran and Gina! I had a specialty coffee and regular drip. The doughnuts a really good. Lunch has a big variety of meats and bread choices. I'll be back every time I visit!

Our favorite donut place! I had to kill some time between appointments so got a blueberry fritter and a large coffee! Was delicious as usual! First time eating inside, so many people coming in, I think when I left they were pretty much out of any donuts. Great donuts, get there early!

The coffee is incredible and the donuts are pretty good they also got this little coin push gambling machine in there that I am addicted and I swear theyve won like six bucks off me in quarters lol

Super stoked and so glad to see the new spacious location! (Not to mention how wide open, yet cozy it feels!) Suzie's the same smiling, thoughtful host, remembering your face greeting you with a heartfelt "hi, how are you?" Donuts melt in your mouth, she had a wonderful selection when I was in this past Saturday. Good little cheat day treat with a pumpkin latte! Ah Fall. Go get you a dozen donuts! FYI...you can get gift cards for yourself to put in your wallet or purse for later, or your employees!

I highly recommend getting the milky way drink blended, it?s so addicting. Like it?s sweet but not over powering like Starbucks does. Tbh I prefer getting coffee here 100% over Starbucks. And the bagels are honestly better than the ones Dunkin?s give. They are fluffy and not overly crunchy. Also I also highly recommend the chocolate croissant warmed up. It?s huge and worth the price. The inside is so fluffy and stuffed with a lot of chocolate. I usually pair it with a milky way drink. Oh and the white mocha
