I needed to get 150+ donuts for an event in a very short time. I visited a few donut places and nobody was able to fulfill this large order for a Sunday in such a short time. I was about to despair until I came to Factory Donuts. The person helping me reassured me they would able to fulfill this order and was so friendly, helpful and kind while she helped me to choose the flavors and process a very large order. 2 days later I came to pick up all the donuts and they were ready to go. I realized as I opened the boxes later she had thrown in many free donuts in addition to the order I had placed and given me dozens of speciality donuts! Everybody absolutely loved the donuts and wanted to know where I got them. Everything looked and tasted amazing. I had a very tight budget to work with and she was able to take that and give extravagantly and generously for our event. Giving this place an A++++! read more

Great service and donuts! I will be back! Lots of choices and all kinds! Glazed, apple fritter, sugar, frosted , chocolate yummy

A gem in Kirkland. My husband has lived in Kirkland for most of his life and he always told me about this place. He scolded me for going to Top Pot cause it's pricey so I started coming up to Factory and I haven't turned back. I usually get a dozen and let them pick. I'm boring so I just like plain old raised glazed or chocolate and it doesn't disappoint. I like their donut holes. I mean, you can't go wrong with anything here. Price-wise it's cheap and yummy - what's not to love? The owners (?) are polite and very efficient. I highly recommend Factory Donuts if you're in Kirkland! read more

Factory Donuts is my go-to in Kirkland! I often do trainings and I'll always come here for the donuts! Parking is super easy, as this shop is located at the end of a small strip mall. The interior is unassuming and pretty small but I'm not sure how many people plan to stay and dine their after buying something? I had a great experience with the woman a lot of people seem to complain about. Was she pretty quick between selections, by saying, "next"...? Yea sure, but I'm not sensitive and that didn't bother me. Most recently I needed 4 dozen donuts and including fritters I ended up with 5 boxes. As I attempted to carry them all and get through the door she exclaimed "oh let me help you!" and proceeded to help me to my car! I'm not much of a donut expert, and out of the multiple different kids of donuts I bought most recently I only tried the buttermilk bar. WOW! delicious! Super soft on the inside and a bit more firm and crunchy on the outside with the most exceptional flavor. At all of my trainings most everyone asks where the donuts are from and exclaim, "these are SO good!". The fritters, all 3 flavors, seem to be an exceptionally big hit. read more

Super suppopppppper sweet donuts. Kind of a kill but the have a good amount of options and for a good price. Service is 3/10, really impatient and aggressive. I'm not sure if their aggressive bc they have a strong accent but I guess I'll take it out of their tip. read more

Great donuts! A large selection to choose from. If you are in the area, I recommend visiting. The person behind the counter was fun and welcoming. Thank you so much! read more

This has become our go to donut place during the pandemic. I remember trying them years back (10?) and was not impressed and we did not return. Can't say what it was that we didn't like at that point. I believe it may be their old Fashioned that taste too fried to us, but everything else is great. read more

Another shout out to Factory Donuts! We love their donuts at Kamiakin Middle School!. They are always fluffy and fresh, and oh so good! They are very friendly, and generous to Kamiakin, and we appreciate that they spoil us. Today when I went to buy a dozen donuts for a district meeting, they gave me 2 dozen additional donuts to soil the staff! We LOVE Factory Donuts! Thank you for spoiling our teachers and staff. read more

As far as we're concerned, Factory Donuts is the best donut shop in Kirkland. Sure, the lady who owns the shop could be a Seinfeld caricature - "the donut nazi", but seriously.....aren't you really there for the donuts? I'd be cranky too if I was baking at 2am for the daily morning rush of customers. Exceptional fritters that are light and fluffy, not soaked in oil. Plus, they offer a great variety to choose from - apple, cherry and blueberry. Not many other shops offer more than just the apple fritter. All of the donut selections are made fresh daily. I am particularly fond of the maple bar. It can sometimes be a tricky flavor to get just right. Real maple flavor, not fake processed syrup. The devil's food cake donuts are a wonderful chocolate treat. Be sure to arrive there early enough to get what selections you want before they sell out. They open at 5am - we've been there at 9 in the morning and often times, the choices by then are more limited. We go to Factory Donuts for the consistently delicious donuts, not the customer service. Keep that in mind, and you'll be a happier patron. read more

One of the two best donut shops in the area (along with Countryside in Bothell). Super yummy donuts that are flavorful, crisp, and roughly $1 as they should be. Not overpriced and mushy like the garbage Top Pot sells. My favorites are the blueberry fritters (yum!) and maple buttermilk (the best I've ever had anywhere), but everything I've had has been great. They've got typically got bagel dogs, and other savory goodies. read more

This is a great family owned and operated donut shop. Like most donut shops, it closes relatively early in the day. Come early for the best selection. There's a lot of variety here, and I like all the items I've tried. The donuts are nice and clean tasting - - not greasy. Prices are also reasonable and tend to be lower than many other donut shops. Don't expect anything fancy. It's a small shop, but a good one with a huge selection. I see many people complaining about the owner in their reviews. This is an Asian owned and operated store. Think of your stereotypical (no offense meant) Chinese restaurant--you know, where you are told to hurry up and order and sometimes it seems like your being there is a bother. Nothing is meant by it. It's just a cultural thing, so get used to it and stop taking offense from it. If you can't deal with it, then go to some other donut place that has higher prices and serves greasy donuts but gives you the kiss your feet service you want. I'll keep coming here because the food is good, and the owner is actually quite nice once you get to know her a little and can ignore her ingrained idiosyncrasies. I'd come out of my way to buy donuts from here. read more

Tried again. Same as before, they were more interested in looking at whatever was on the cell phone. No need to talk to the customer standing at your counter. The landline was ringing and didn't even answer that. read more

I really like the quality of the donuts. What I've had so far (blueberry fritter and buttermilk bar) were top notch. They were a little crisp on the outside with a tender inside. The ambiance is casual, and the price is fair. I will definitely go back, as I have my eyes on a maple bar and a couple of the filled donuts! read more

The best donuts for three decades! I cannot recommend factory donuts enough! Choo, the owner, and the phenomenal team of women make these donuts fresh every day - and each donut is fried to perfection. The apple fritters are my family's personal favorite. The fresh taste has been consistent all these years - never once have we left disappointed. Donuts stay fresh a good couple days, and the variety and choices are endless. I even love their brand muffins!! I have catered donuts for party events, and every guest has always noted the donuts to be a highlight on every dessert table! I recently held a Disco party event and Choo custom designed the donuts in retro color with toppings like Oreo, sprinkles, and chocolate chips - it looked fantastic and tasted even better! Choo is also a gem of a human being to work with! On a personal note, I am such a supporter of small- family owned businesses, and have never met a more dedicated, passion baking team! Watching Choo and her team of all women baker's work is inspiring. The bakery opens at 5am ( prep work starts even earlier) and locals love the donuts so much, they often sell out by 12:30pm on the weekends. Every time I walk in people are ordering by the dozen! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

The best! Friendly owners and amazing donuts. Iha e been here many times and the donuts are always great. on the weekends I always see people taking their kids here for a morning treat! Make sure to try the apple fritter! read more

I was a bit leery to try this place given some of the reviews about service, but curiosity about their selection won out, and I was not disappointed. It's not a large store, just a row of stools along the window, and there was a small crowd hanging out and chitchatting; seemed like one of those regular Sunday morning meetup type of things, and there was steady traffic. Plenty of parking. The man behind the counter was friendly and while he was brisk and efficient, he did not rush me as I made my selections. They had SEVEN different kinds of donut holes, including red velvet! I got an assortment and several of them were buttermilk based, so a little denser; I think the chocolate (regular cake donut) was my favorite. Several different kinds of fritters that I'll have to go back to try; I went with my favorite apple to start, and it had that wonderful blend of crisp/crunch edges, moist interior, and it was packed with apple chunks and apple flavor. Chocolate iced buttermilk was surprisingly tender. They definitely have a wider selection than any other donut place I can recall, between the standard configurations and then the different flavors/icing of each kind. For instance, in crullers, old fashioned and fritters, there were multiple flavors of each, and then in cake donuts there were both chocolate and vanilla but with unusual toppings like one that looked like Froot Loops. There are also some muffins and croissant type pastries. Pricier than your usual donut shop, but reasonable considering the selection and quality. Happy I tried it out! read more

Coming from NY, I stumbled upon this place, as I looked through all these overpriced doughnut shops around here..that don't even know what a French crueler is. I was so pleasantly surprised and thrilled when the woman boxing up my cruelers, told me that they used to be DUNKN" DOUGHNUTS, which you don't have out here in the west, so this is my only place since I've moved here and tastes just like my corner DUNKIN' back in nYC read more

Our family really enjoys the donuts here. But if you're ordering with any kind of line behind you, be prepared for some of the most intense pressure to make your donut selections. I always have to sit in the car after and eat away the stress from ordering. read more

Simply the best. The quintessential donut. Always satisfies my cravings. Excellent maple bars.

I drive from North Bend, to Kirkland, for doughnuts. Am I crazy? Yes. Is it worth the drive? Yes. Amazing variety, great flavor, and the doughnuts aren't heavy, or super sticky sweet like other shops just good, satisfying morning treats. The employees have always been chipper, and the coffee isn't half bad either. read more

I had a similar experience as Ashley K who post about a "soup nazi experience". I also have been coming to this donut shop since the 90's. I figure skated next door at Snoking as a kid, and my mom would bring me here for a treat. I don't remember bad experiences back then, but I was also a teenager. Last Friday, I brought my 6yo and 9yo daughters in and the older woman scolded them for taking to long to choose a donut and said "Hurry up girls, I don't want a line. You need to buy and get out." There was nobody else in the shop. I was shocked and just said hurry up girls, but after I left I thought that I should've defended them. Both of them were like, that lady was rude. Clearly they are not hurting from this pandemic right now if they can yell at people to hurry up and get out. We won't be back here. There's a Top Pot 8 minutes away from here. read more

The absolute best and they carry French crullers, my favorite and hard to find them at other donut shops near me in Edmonds, WA

A gold mine. Outstanding donuts with a great selection. The lady behind the counter is a lovely person.

I was in the area on a Wednesday morning when Yelp steered me here. The store was well stocked with fresh doughnuts of seemingly every variety. The charming woman behind the counter noticed me struggling with the big decision and asked if it was my first time. I told her I needed a dozen for kids, and she said she would take care of me. We picked out a lovely looking dozen and they were a big hit with the kids. read more

This place is amazing! The staff are always friendly, the prices are very reasonable, and the donuts and bakery items are quality. They have a large selection (but don't go too late in the day to get the best selection), including the usual donut varieties, specialty donuts, like bacon maple bars, muffins (the bran muffins are yum!), scones, etc. And, I discovered today they now have mochi donuts! read more

Their donuts are pretty standard and typical for being a donut shop. I feel that the staff are a little impolite and rush you when you're trying to decide which donuts you want to buy. Overall, mediocre donuts. read more

Amazing Apple fritters and bagel dogs. I have gotten Factory Donuts for my work family and they all love them.

Factory Donuts - a variety of doughnuts on plates - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I seldom complain about services but this place left me a very bad experience. Came here in the morning and the shop had no one else but me, the old lady asked me to wait because she's busy with the stuff on the back and it's totally fine. Unfortunately when I started to order she acted like " tell me get you want and get out of here" she didn't smile ( which is fine) and her face was like my presence is annoying her. I still tried to be as nice and polite as possible while ordering and paying, but I felt like I begged her for the donuts.For sure I will never come back to this place. I ordered a bunch of different types of donuts and they tasted ok at most, nothing special. read more

There's something so satisfying in starting the day off with a fresh doughnut still warm from the oven. The selection is awesome and includes the option of a giant doughnut fit for a birthday celebration. My favorites are the frosted devils food and the apple fritters. The coffee's really good too! read more

Simply put....Donuts are my weakness!! I love the variety they have but I guess I'm just old school because my favorites are still the maple bars, the glazed twist, and apple fritters. This place is just a typical looking donut shop with nothing fancy about it but the donuts they pump out are just FANTASTIC! I usually try to eat somewhat healthy throughout the week but when the urge is too strong and I feel like just ruining my body for one day I come here. I recommend getting the mixed dozen so you can have a variety of sugary goodness. read more

Delicious donuts but soup nazi situation. That sums it up. My family has given them our business for years. We loved their donuts. Jenny is sometimes nice sometimes mean. The other gal in there is unbelievably rude. Both have been rude to me over the years but it was a flat out soup nazi situation this morning. I was humiliated for trying to place an order with my child. My kid left in tears because she wanted something different but the woman working did not have the patience to even listen to me and let me hear my child. Only one person was in the shop when we arrived. They need better customer service. We were told that during the pandemic we could place a to go order and have it ready when we got there. Well we tried that and they had not put our order together in Advance despite saying they remembered the text. They did not remember what we wanted and it was like why did we even bother texting? They need an in-door and an out-door. Otherwise people come in both doors and it's too small space to create a line so people get cut in front of left and right. Gets very frustrating when it's crowded. They also need to have doors propped open or have hand sanitizer right inside the doors. They're not doing enough to deal with the current pandemic...You can't get in without pulling on the door and you can't really easily pull a heavy door without using your hand. It's not sanitary. I'm done with the rude service and nasty attitude these people have. read more
