There’s 10, mostly in the Tulsa-metro area, along with one near the Sam’s Club in west Little Rock at 1121 S. Bowman Road. There’s also another coming early next year to Maumelle Boulevard.
But, if you like fresh donuts, and who doesn’t, Sugar Llamas might be on your list for best franchises and it also has fancy coffee and ice cream but it is the donuts, fried fresh to order and then topped with various accoutrements, to amp up the sugar explosion.
On a recent visit, seen below, cinnamon sugar, along with the Turtle, chocolate and caramel and the Boss Hog, with bacon and maple, were sampled.
Cooked to order, the size is more akin to a donut hole but they pack a sugary punch.
With that, the new location will be located at 12007 Maumelle Boulevard, and Lynnlee Vance is the franchise owner.
She said that it will, “likely” open in February.
Vance added that a friend opened up a location in the Tulsa Hills neighborhood and “we loved the concept of a family-friendly store with an all day menu and the wide appeal in a fun environment.”
She said that Sugar Llamas is a “one-stop shop for drinks, ice cream, and mini donuts, which is a unique option to have something for everyone in the group.”
So those with picky eaters should rejoice.
Hours at a Sugar Llamas are seasonal with winter hours – December through February – are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with Friday starting at 7 a.m. and closing at 8 p.m. with Saturday running from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday starting at 8 a.m. and closing at 6 p.m.
That’s all subject to change, Vance added.
With a menu as large and varied, what is her go to order?
And while that is up to the customer, “we would say our donuts because they are made fresh and hot, as ordered all day long and customized with many icing and topping choices.”
But, “we do have some regulars who come in to order special items, which we make to order as well,” she said. “One customer comes in for a peanut butter chocolate shake which is not on our menu. Another asked us to make a chocolate shake, but made with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. We try to accommodate special requests when it is possible.”
Of course, some don’t come for the donuts.
The coffee is a bit of a draw.
“All of our drinks can be made hot or cold and we can make kid-friendly versions of all of them without the espresso,” Vance said. “Two of our winter flavors are very popular – caramel brulee latte and peppermint mocha latte.”
Vance said the choices on our visit were among “our most popular” and, “the smores and cookies and cream are also frequent chocolate options. For those who like fruit flavors, the bam berry (lemon and blueberry) and cherry bomb (cherry and chocolate) are popular. Kids usually love the Flintstone (vanilla topped with fruity pebbles)-it is colorful and crunchy.”
She said, as it is Christmas time, the donuts can also be had in holiday themes and things like gingerbread sprinkles are available.
Sausage kolaches are also for sale, if one is looking for something more savory.
Sugar Llamas are a family-owned and operated business, Vance added. “We love for small groups and families to come in and hang out and enjoy our store, spending time together. We have had some of the best customers and really enjoy being able to meet each and provide the best possible experience.”
Now suppose you have a tween or child in your life that loves llamas. You don’t know, maybe there’s a show? But they do and this is where Sugar Llamas really delivers.
There’s a llama wall and it is essentially a selfie station.
The wall has llama wallpaper and there’s a five foot tall stuffed llama, just waiting to have a photo made. There’s also llama art on the walls and it all makes sense, at least for the llama obsessed.
