1932 9th Street, NW just south of U Street
“Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if any of your other readers have had trouble with the Sugar Shack on 9th Street not sticking to their advertised hours (they are supposed to open at 6:30). This morning [Sunday] I tried to go get donuts at 7:50, and the shop was still dark and the door was locked.
This was after I tried to go a couple of weeks ago at 6:45 on the way to work, 15 minutes after opening; the door was locked but the front window was open, and when I approached the window to ask about the opening time the staff person standing there just turned and walked away. Very odd!
It’s a shame, because I love their donuts and it’s great to have a local shop nearby – but as one of the only decent places in the neighborhood that opens early, it’s disappointing to go and find the store closed two visits in a row. Just a heads up to anyone else in the same boat.”
