    A1 Donut is a great classic neighborhood donut shop pumping out yeast donuts that are light and fluffy and cake donuts that are spongy and soft, albeit without any crust. The donuts that have icing and/or glaze aren't cloyingly sweet, which is a problem that I find plagues a lot of donut shops. These, instead, are sweet, but pleasantly so for a sweet dessert. In all cases, the icing/glaze adheres well to the donut without flaking off. Prices are also very reasonable for the area. $2.25 each for the regular donuts. And for TGTG users, they give a big box of end-of-day donuts. In my case, 10 assorted donuts + 6 donut holes for $6.99. That's a value that's tough to beat. Let's be honest, A1 Donut is probably using the same bulk donut mixes that everyone else uses. What differentiates donut shops is execution, service, and price. A1 Donut has all of these categories down pretty well.

    The Big Twist Maple frosting is the best donut I have ever had! (Chances are, these will be gone if you don't order by 9 am!) The Apple Fritter (small) is still large enough to share. Orders always come with 4-6 complimentary donut holes :)

    TGTG pickup - quite the assortment! (12/5/24)

    A family member claimed this was the best northend doughnut shop, so A1 Donut had been bookmarked forever. I had the opportunity coming from Marysville for a first visit (12/5/24) to pick up a spontaneous Too Good To Go order. I figured it would be a few items in a bag. You can imagine my surprise to be handed a huge box by the upbeat counter person. Photographed the contents back in the car...wow quite the generous variety! Fresh, tasty, and not cloyingly too sweet. A nice treat and now I understand its popularity by loyal customers. It can be accessed from I-5 or Hwy 99 at 128th in South Everett. It is in a strip mall adjacent to the Shell gas station at that main intersection.

    Made it to A1 Donut before they closed. It's in a random plaza next to Pasteur's Noodle Soup. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (3:45pm). Surprisingly, a few donuts were still available. Donuts are $2.25 USD (regular), $2.75 USD (specialty) or $4.00 USD (deluxe). - 1/2 dozen regular ($12.50 USD) - two apple fritters, pistachio peanut cake, glazed & maple old fashion and buttermilk bar. Fritters were excellent, stayed fresh for several days. Old fashion donuts were decent. Pistachio was a miss Will return to try their blueberry fritter.

    Just an excellent donut shop in Everett. The employees are nice, the prices are good, and the donuts are extremely tasty. What more could you ask for? You can also purchase boxes of their donuts from TooGoodToGo at times. I always stop by here for an apple fritter if I'm around. There is some seating inside if needed, but it's a typical old-fashioned donut spot. No frills but great donuts!

    Small nice place. On my way, there is only 3 donut places i could go. This one i tried it first time. And I love their donut it's fluffy compared to Henry Donut.

    I was so impressed by this donut shop! Tucked away in a strip mall in Everett, you'd never assume these are some of the best donuts in the area. My partner and I have been on the hunt for soft, springy, yeast raised donuts and this place has them. We paid about $30 for a dozen, so they're not cheap but well worth it. We got a variety of classic donuts and some of their specialty like fruity pebbles, pistachio coconut, and a blueberry fritter! The shop itself is beautiful and clean, they have a really cute photo wall. We went around noon on a Friday and there was more than enough to choose from. The service friendly and quick. We will certainly be back!

    Atmosphere: 5/5 Clean interior and there's a few tables set up for seating. I really liked the grass wall design. Service: 4/5 Cashier was nice and amiable. Nothing memorable to note about the interaction. Food: 4/5 We just got the blueberry fritter and the old fashioned glazed. We actually got these to do a direct comparison with Donut Factory. We thought the blueberry fritter was better at Donut Factory, but the old fashioned glazed from A1 was soo much better. The donuts weren't mind blowing but definitely a solid choice if you're in the area - there's so much variety! We would be frequent visitors if we weren't all the way from Seattle. Location: 4/5 It's in a plaza and is sandwiched in between the Shell gas station and the pho place. Located across the street from Home Depot, so not the best in terms of safety but we had no issues on a Saturday morning.

    We came on a weekend afternoon to try their brioche donuts. 6 different flavors - Matcha, Strawberry, Mango, Biscoff, Chocolate, and Taro. We got 1 of each: the owner was kind & gave us two free. The exterior of the donut was good but the filling was a little too sweet & synthetic for my taste. My fiancé described it kind of like the taste of some bubble tea powders. We would come again to try their other donuts, all looked great in the display! Currently they are only open a few days a week Thursday - Sunday. But bonus is they are on Door Dash!

    Truly a great donut shop, they have your traditional donuts but also some very tasty variants like a blueberry apple fritter and PB&J (jelly filled with PB on top). Highly recommend you try this place if you're looking for quality donuts!

    Half a Regular 1/2 Dozen Donuts - received 9 donuts!

    I was in desperate need for a donut, and A1 was the only donut place delivering to me at 3:40 pm on a Thursday, and boy did I luck out! I ordered a half dozen regular donuts but I received NINE DONUTS , and I think some of the flavors I got are their premium donuts too! I know I probably ordered towards the end of their day, but it's still so nice to receive extra donuts!! Their donuts are also delicious, they have a really nice doughy cakey texture and their frosting/flavoring doesn't overpower the donut. Really solid donut place!!

    I stopped by today because I had been CRAVING donuts all week. I was so pleasantly surprised by the kind service I received. Auntie behind the counter slipped me some donut holes as a little freebie! So sweet. And the donuts themselves were amazing!

    Who doesn't love a good donut? Yeah these are good.

    Dandy little place in a very convenient spot in Everett. I've seen many donut shops tend to neglect…read moreseating and coffee but Karl's is pretty dedicated to it which is nice. Got a dozen donuts that were generally very high quality and given notes below. Maple Bar: 5/5 perfect texture and really clear syrup flavor that rarely comes through in maple bars. The best maple bar i've had in the state. Apple Fritter: 2.5/5 for being a prominent part of the store's branding with the whole "giant sized fritters" thing it is okay. Nice crunch and softness without hardness but needed more apples. Raspberry Fritter: 2.5/5 same as above. since neither this or the apple have enough fruit chunks to come through the only difference is that this is sweeter if thats your thing. Chocolate Bar/Donut: 4/5 I dont like chocolate donuts but their frosting has a really rich fudge taste that people who do like this type will appreciate. Likewise good texture to the maple bars Jelly Filled Glazed: 5/5 their glazes are really fine and light which makes them very pleasant to eat and the jelly isn't as sweet as typical Jelly-filleds which means you really taste the berries. If you don't like jelly filled's usually please give these a shot. Classic Glazed: 3/5 nice texture but the light glaze doesn't quite work as well here as on the jellies. Still worth getting if you're doing a full dozen. Homer (or pink sprinkles idk): 2/5 weirdly too sweet somehow. Rare that I don't view a homer as deserving of being in a dozen from a shop but yeah this is a miss. Maple Bacon: 5/5 its still good and the maple bacon is a good combo. Cinnamon Twist: 2/5 ive never had a cinnamon swirl that tasted like cinnamon and this is no different. if these are your thing go for it but theyre not gonna have any more or less flavor than any other cinnamon twist.

    Ordered a quarter sheet birthday cake and ended up having to change the pick up date, and they were…read moresuper accommodating. Picked up the cake and it was absolutely beautiful. Asked for specific colors with minimal toppings as we had our own cake topper. Sponge was fresh and fantastic as well as the frosting and custard filling! Everyone loved it and my only regret was not buying a HALF sheet. Probably be going back before the next birthday just to buy another cake.
