Nine years on this corner
Sugarly started as a two-tray operation in a laundromat window. The card has not changed since we just got a second fryer, a coffee bar and two more people who can be here at four in the morning.
What changed
For six years the whole case came off one fryer, which meant the last tray hit the rack at half past seven and the first customer had already left. The second one moved that to six, and six is the only promise on this website.
2016 to now
Two trays in a laundromat window
Forty-eight donuts a morning, sold out of a folding table, cash only, gone by eight.
The corner unit
We took the lease on 4th and Vine, painted the awning pink and never repainted it.
The coffee bar
Cold brew on sixteen hours, single origin, because half the queue was walking next door for it.
The second fryer
Doors at six instead of seven, and the Friday drop became a standing appointment.
We are not trying to reinvent the donut. We are trying to hand you one that is four minutes old, in a paper bag that is already going translucent, before you have decided what kind of day this is.
House standards
They are taped to the wall behind the fryer, and they have been reprinted twice because of the grease.
01
The case is emptied every night. What is left goes to the shelter two doors down before we lock up.
02
Every price is on the wall and on the menu page. Nobody has ever had to ask what a dozen costs.
03
The Friday cruller never repeats inside a season. If you liked it, that was the week for it.
Six in the morning until seven at night. The coffee bar closes at five, which surprises people every single day.
