Love this donut shop - when you get there early in the morning, they melt in your mouth! The owner is extremely generous and very kind - she knows all her regulars personally and enjoys catching up. A huge selection to choose from and good pricing. My favorite is the apple fritter - she also has blueberry fritters! Definitely the best donut shop around and I highly recommend it. read more

My finger slipped. I meant to give one star. Possibly the worst muffin I've eaten in 70 years. Cost a small fortune. Service was on the surely side. Had no to-go coffee. read more

My family and I have been coming here since around 2018. The staff is always very kind and I personally think they have the best doughnuts in the area! read more

We stop in every Wednesday and it's a delight. So many to choose from and everyone there is understanding and helpful! The donuts are excellent, we have our favorites but you can't go wrong with any choice. This is our favorite place in the neighborhood! read more

Factory Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Factory Donuts hits the spot. I had been frequenting Countryside for a while until they dropped the ball. Now our weekend or work runs are full-filled by Factory Donuts. read more

TL;DR: affordable donuts, especially for party/group treats. Parking: small shared lot with enough throughput. Atmosphere: typical coffee shop / cake counter feel. Most orders are to go. Service: friendly staff. Order and pay at the counter. Great place to stop by to satisfy a sweet tooth. Donut dough is slightly on the dry side in my opinion but I'll have to come another day to investigate other flavors. They seem to always sell out before "closing time" so best to go early. read more

The donuts are amazing. "You have try my Apple Fritter" she says. And YES they good! Clean store and super friendly. We see multiple families with kids coming in. Great selection of kid donuts. Fresh donuts at $22 a dozen is worth it for the added service. Tell them it's your first time and you might get a couple free donut holes! I did. read more

I used to visit this place when I was in high school, 20 years later, today , I stopped by today and my family and I met Brian, he greeted us and was very kind and patient towards my kids :) I live in federal way now but I will coming back every time I come visit my mom. Thank you for your service read more

Hidden Gem Donut Shop with Great Service Very underrated donut shop and Definitely worth going. The blueberry glazed donut is a must-try. Not only was the flavor spot on, but the donut itself was the perfect size--not too big, thick, or heavy. The medium size makes every bite feel balanced, with just the right amount of glaze so it's sweet but never overwhelming. The chocolate chip and maple glazed donuts were also excellent. I was especially impressed by how accommodating they were. I needed a last-minute order of 40 donuts for the next day, and they immediately accepted it. On top of that, I requested an early pickup around 9:30 AM, and they handled it with no problem. Since they open as early as 5 AM, it made the whole process super convenient. And it's not just donuts, their spinach and cheese wrap is a hit. Pairing a warm wrap with a donut makes for a really satisfying combo. The only downside? I didn't get a chance to take a proper photo as everyone grabbed more than one donut right away! I had to quickly hide two in a box for myself, so the only picture I have is of those last two survivors. To me, that says it all. Overall, Factory Donuts delivers perfectly sized, delicious donuts, great savory options, and outstanding service. A hidden gem in Kirkland that deserves way more attention. Their display had a huge variety of donuts, muffins, sweet rolls and I will be definitely going back to try all of those. read more

I moved from a different state and one of the best donut shops that I've been to that is authentic and not just a bakery that sells donuts they even have something similar to kolaches. The man inside is very nice and he has a big selection and he's very nice to talk to and has good service and offers a lot of drinks and they often sell out of donuts quick so you have to go early read more

This review is based on a DoorDash delivery order. We did not go inside the establishment and cannot attest to the experience at the store. This is rated 4 stars based on not knowing anything about the physical location, service, or ambiance. Ordered a dozen donuts and then some! Got a variety of a dozen donuts, a few different kinds of donut holes and one large glazed donut. I have never seen sprinkle donut holes and I was so exited (sprinkles are my favorite!) All of the donuts were soft and fresh. Tasted great, no complaints! I would order from here again as I saw there's a few other donuts I'd like to try along with the bagel dog. Yum! read more

Factory Donuts - Very large glazed donut (with a chocolate donut hole in the center) hand for size. - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Here's the thing: If you read reviews about a 'soup nazi situation' you need to ignore them. If you won't do that, go in to this store understanding that you need to either know what you want, or let other people go until you know what you want. The folks here make incredible donuts and they are awesome people - but they do keep people moving. Get in line, tell them what you want, pay, and go. Every time I've gone I have never once experienced anything that would come close to rudeness. Go early, go fast, be ready, and hope they aren't sold out. They sell out fast and for good dang reason. read more

Luckily I had gotten in right before the rush, and I thought the donuts were worth the hype! $11 for half a dozen and $19 for a dozen mixed donuts. The donuts were soft and chewy-- the coconut one I got was better than I expected. A chewy crunchy yummy goodness! I can see why this is a fan favorite! read more

Came here on a random weekday morning to satisfy a donut craving (thanks pregnancy hormones!) and the gentleman with the glasses was very helpful and friendly! He even threw in a complimentary French crueller donut which made my day. They've won a repeat customer in me! read more

Soooooooooooo Goooooooooooooood, best donuts! Will come back soooooooooooooon! Owners are sooooooooooooooo nice!

Doughnuts here are fluffy and very sweet - a contrast to Top Pot and Legendary. The experience of eating these reminded me of DD where you get a small treat while drinking coffee rather than a dense, chewy snack on its own, but with a name like Factory Donuts, I feel like I should've anticipated that, haha. We arrived just before 10 am (read as: quite late), and the selection was limited. Since it was our first time visiting, we ordered four doughnuts to split but we're up-sold to six with the deal of Buy 5, Get One Free. At $10.74 for six doughnuts, who could complain (insert shrug here). We did get drip coffee, and it was definitely not disgusting like mentioned in another review. It was however, dark roast - which I really appreciated because the doughnuts where kind of too sweet and kind of oily. Parking is plentiful, but get there early if you want a hearty selection. Also note that the store is narrow and although there's a bar with stools, this is not a place to sit and eat. read more

Amazing service, nice local business. Food jd very good very buss. Even gave us free cake pops

These donuts are the best I have ever eaten. I like the french crullers so much (chocolate and vanilla) and the glazed twist, that I will get up early just to go get them before they sell out and then go back to sleep. I have NEVER been a donut person. However, these crullers are more pastries than donuts and they are amazingly airy, fluffy, and delicious. Get there before 9am on the weekend and 11 am on the weekdays because they sell out every day. Unfortunately, when they sell out of donuts, they don't make anymore. They do not allow patrons to eat on site, as those stools are only there for waiting on to go items. read more

Since there was another donut shop in my neighborhood, I decided to check this one out as well. For one, there's more variety of things here like macaroons, sandwiches, croissant, etc. The price was clearly listed and everything was clearly label so that's a plus. I got: Buttermilk bar - big, crispy, good flavor Apple fritter - big, not as crunchy and didn't get any apple chunks Donut holes - standard, dense donut holes Crueler - very yummy, soft, light Macaroons - not the best but still pretty good I got all of this for $7, so it's definitely more reasonable in pricing than countryside donut. I wanted to try the pretzel crossaint but they already ran out so I will have to go back to check it out. The one feedback is that the cashier seemed to be rushing me so it didn't feel that welcoming. read more

I decided because I just relocated from Seattle I wanted to find another donut spot close to the one the resembles the one I was fond of in the city. driving to grab a bite to eat we saw this little spot off the road and took a peep inside, the aroma from entry was something that took me back to my childhood smelling the fresh yeast battered with dough and a mixture of pastry delicates that made my nostrils flare in interest. Approaching the counter we were greeted with a friendly hello from who seemed to be the owner, though he was on his phone it was a slow day so I didn't mind. The wide selection of pastries and donuts caused us to purchase a few different options; The Crumble, (one of my personal faves when done correctly) a Strawberry Fruity Pebbles cake, Peanut Butter and Jelly Donut, Chocolate Oreo icing cake, Chocolate Mochi, a Spinach and Cheese Pastry and the owner hooked us up with a free glaze donut! Huge shout out to him for allowing us to take our time with piecing what we desired. Though I was very satisfied with what we chose, I just wasn't able to get that same taste as my go to place back in the city, these donuts have a slight aftertaste dryness because of the size, though that's not a complaint just a remark of what my palate felt. Another reason I would have to knock it one Star is just due to the lack of what seems to be friendly restaurant energy, there's nothing that screams "invite your friends and family and sit and have a coffee and donut", there's a few boxes that I'd like to see placed in maybe a storage or hidden a little more so it's more welcoming on the consumers eye when entering this wonderfully smelt establishment The price is very reasonable for the amount you get on a variety selection and because of that I will be returning to see what they have on an earlier day! I highly recommend going and tasting for yourself! read more

Extremely good donuts worth the drive you will not be disappointed i've gone there on many occasions and bought out the whole donut display

3/5 Apple Fritter. Crispy outside I desire in my fritters, good flavor, sweetness level and density. Generous amount of fruit. Could taste a oil flavor that was odd, an Olive Oil like taste. 4/5 Blueberry Fritter. Also a nice crispy outside. Generous amount of Blueberries and sweetness level. Well balanced density and size. Definitely one of the better fruit fritters (non Apple) in the area. Great inventory and selection of donuts, would definitely recommend trying if in the area. read more

Factory Donuts - Apple Fritter, Blueberry Fritter - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Pro: - Best donuts in the area with a good variety IF you can get there early enough. Cons: - They run out of most donuts early (and it has been that way for *many* years). - The coffee is disgusting. - The staff is extremely rude and abrupt. I totally get why people justify being a returning customer. The donuts are the best available. People want to support small businesses. Some people chalk this up as a cultural or personality thing. The rudeness is so off the charts it's comical. If you're lucky, other customers in the store will awkwardly laugh along with you as you're being treated like garbage. But it's not ok. They they flat out don't listen. They snap at you. I legit almost always leave flustered. They've even made my son feel sad with their condescending quips. In summary - I want so badly to like this place and have tried to justify it for years. But I just can't do it anymore. read more

Great assortment of donuts! Fresh and tasty will return! The lady behind the counter was very kind and had a great smile very welcoming.

Always with the fresh donuts/donut holes. and ready to offer you a sweet deal so that you could bring your coworkers extra food.

Love this place so much! Very nice owners. Love the giant donut, it's a great birthday donut ! Blueberry fritters - yum!!! read more

This shop really sat on the verge between 3- and 4-stars for me, but at least for now, the lower score seemed appropriate. If you order through Uber, the menu is not very friendly. Turnover is listed with no hint to what flavor it is, a dozen and half dozen donuts are listed as "mix donuts" with choice of 8 flavors no matter which you do. If someone wasn't counting, they could add too many for half a dozen and maybe miss out on one they wanted, while on the other hand there's an inability to completely customize a dozen donut box without just ordering each donut separately. There's also a listing under 'menu' that just says 'ham and cheese'. Croissant? Bagel? Who knows? A few more menu items are cut off, but you get the just of what they are. Despite all that, the donuts themselves were pretty good. It's the first place I've seen around with tiger tails and they even threw in a raspberry fill to fill up our box, which was pretty nice. All of that would have given this place 4-stars, the part that tipped it lower was cold bagel dogs. Now, I'm not talking lukewarm from the delivery or even got pretty chilly outside. I mean they were cold cold. We had to take the time to heat them ourselves, with no idea how long it was supposed to take. To top it off, when we unwrapped them, one had cheese while the other was plain. There is no box to check off when ordering, and not even a description so I know to write-in my preference. I ordered simply 'bagel dogs' and got two different items. So, while everything was good, it was not a straight forward or super friendly process. read more

Factory Donuts - Bagel Dog - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I showed up midday on Fathers Day and the proprietor gave me free chocolate crossiants because they sold out of donuts that fast. 10/10

I have been coming here for well more than 10 years. Ever since I can remember this little place always felt like a neighborhood place. Even though it is not the closest shop when I want donuts this is the place . The donuts were hot and fresh in the mornings when I stop in for picking up morning snacks for my group at work. And during the pandemic it appears that everyone felt the same way. Buying out all donuts to bring to the nearby first responders. I for one really appreciate a place that supports the neighborhood and fits right in the little strip mall in Kingsgate. read more

Cheap donut holes dozen! Perfect for breakfast with friends. Only to go - no sit down available

The people that work here are the nicest people ever! They have the best doughnuts and I highly recommend the ham and cheese croissant!

Great food and people. Easy to order and good variety of donuts

I have to I say I'm pretty disappointed. I'd heard about Factory Donuts for some time and have wanted to try it. I live minutes away. Arrived at 2:20pm with a sign on door saying "sorry, we're sold out." It was closed though their hours state right there open until 3:00pm. It's unlikely a donut shop has sold out of everything by 2:20 on a Monday. And, even we're that true, it's surprising that a store specializing I donuts wouldn't know how to accurately plan their supplies. Now that I'm stung, I'm not driving another 60 minutes round trip hoping they'll be open when they say they will. Sorry for the honestly, but hopefully it can help someone else be forewarned. read more

Kind of a mixed experience here. There is a large selection to choose from. My old fashioned buttermilk bar was fabulous, but the cream-filled glazed doughnut was bland and almost devoid of cream. Service was OK not great. read more

Amazing donuts!! I had the maple raised ring, and the combo of donut holes. Their sprinkle and glazed donut holes are my favorite. They also have a variety of drinks in the cooler. Excellent prices and service read more

My family stopped by to try this place. We were happy to find something for everyone. My youngest does not eat donuts, but he found a muffin instead. My oldest loves donuts especially ones with chocolate. We decided to purchase 2 dozen donuts plus food for the family-we we're taking it to feed the staff at my kids summer camp. After purchase, we went to sit down as the kids were eager to enjoy the food. NOPE!!! Owner changed their sweet tone to a firm one and told us we can't sit there. Kids were bummed, they really wanted to enjoy their breakfast together as a family. After this, not coming back. Decided on going to Sunrise Donuts or Kringle's Bakery instead. Question-Why have seating if your costumers can't sit and dine in? read more

This place is a family favorite! The staff is so sweet and they are family oriented! Their donuts are amazing!

I have been coming to Factory Donuts consistently for a number of years. I am always greeted warmly when I walk in the door. The donuts are always top quality. I particularly love the four different varieties of fritters! I drive all the way across town just to come to Factory Donuts, that's how much I like it. Highly recommend read more
