I am kind of a crazy person where donuts are involved and when Sugar Shack opened in D.C., I practically had to stop myself from jumping up and down in excitement. This location doesn't disappoint. Even though it was the ungodly hour of 6am, the young women working behind the counter were super cheerful and helpful while I spent far too long ogling the donuts. I chose a half dozen and grabbed a deliciously well-made Cafe Con Leche. I'm afraid that I cannot remember the exact flavors that I ordered--only that all were very yummy. I got a mixture of cake and yeast donuts. I managed to only eat one and the rest made it home where I surprised my husband with my treasure. Some complain that the donuts are expensive, but I find that the quality is great and don't mind paying a bit more than I would for standard donuts elsewhere. I try to limit my visits to "every so often" but it's hard to resist. My ONLY criticism of the location is that it's definitely not designed for you to sit and hang out--more seating would be nice. It's not an easy trek for me, but no matter how many trains and buses are involved in getting to Sugar Shack, the trip is always worth it.
