This place is so cute! Open concept with lots of light. The staff person was cleaning the counters when I went in (gold star). The donuts are in different price tiers: regular faire, more creative then legendary status. Legendary are more expensive but they are more bougie. I got two old fashioned (one glazed and one maple) and a Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell was huge! Honestly it was hard to decide- I easily could have got more. Pastry was fresh and smelled good. Dough was fried all the way through and soft. It's nice to see there are places still making donuts in house rather than flying in frozen dough from California. These folks also have coo treats for your dog made in house. read more

I heard that they had blueberry fritters and just had to make my way in! When I walked in the employee was just finishing up with the only other person in the store so I really didn't have to wait. Overall the employee was fairly quick and efficient, but made sure to let me know that she hates her job. Sorry to hear that, I guess? I also got a blues bros, which is a blueberry cake doughnut. Both the doughnut and fritter were quite good. They appear to use real blueberries, which is always appreciated. read more

Meh, not impressed but maybe I had the wrong thing. Everything looks and smells delicious, but it seems to be the big chicken phenomenon where all the flavor is just gone. Had an apple fritter that was literally the size of a dinner plate. However, somehow they achieved the ability of making it undercooked and burnt at the same time. There was absolutely no flavor or sweetness. The oil seemed to be old/in need of changing because that's all I could really taste. I've had superior fritters from grocery store bakeries and I know those come in frozen. Sorry, hard pass next time - I'd rather go to Safeway. And that is painful to say... read more

The Legendary Doughnuts shop is one of my favorite doughnut places. The staff are friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting vibe. At first glance, the doughnuts may look simple, but once you take a bite, you can definitely tell how good they are. Tonight was Seahawks game night, so we picked up the football-themed doughnut. The Seahawks won the game, which made our little sweet treats even more enjoyable. Overall, a great place for delicious doughnuts and a fun, comfortable atmosphere. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I drove a long way to try this place. Doughnuts were great! Big in portions and not expensive either. Tasted great Service was awful. Maybe this person hates her job? The most unfriendly service. My doughnuts were just thrown in the bag upside down, meaning the decoration parts were down. I mean.... Who does that? Whipped frosting is all smashed and stuck to the bottom of the bag. I liked their donuts but no thanks. Ambience is ok. I struggled for parking. I parked a couple of blocks away. And walked in the rain. read more

Legendary Doughnuts - Funny name - Donuts Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

I'm starting my journey of finding the best donuts in the Tacoma area, and I was very curious to try Legendary Donuts. I stopped in about 830am on a Wednesday and there were only a few people in line and a wide variety of donuts available, there was only one person working the counter and she was very helpful in answering any questions we had about the donuts. The donuts themselves were a very mixed bag, with some tasting a lot more fresh than others. The PB&J (stuffed) and Raspberry Pull Apart were both very tasty and relatively fresh. I can't say the same about the Ice Cream Sundae donut, which looked great, but the donut itself was very dry and a bit stale. The mini filled donuts were just ok, and not pictured but we also tried a strawberry frosting donut which I thought was overly sweet. Overall, I think its a decent donut shop, but I will look elsewhere in my search for the very best donuts in Tacoma. read more

The lady working was very rude and not friendly at all and they were out of napkins??? Didn't even have paper towels? The snickers donut was good, the apple fritter was tasteless and EXTREMELY greasy, definitely needs more apple and cinnamon in them. what really got me was the sign that said they don't take cash they only take credit cards and then they charge you a trans transaction fee. Do your self a favor and skip this place and go to one of the other several donut shops in the area read more

1 star until u bring back the salted chocolate covered brownie. People come here just for this.

Was super excited to find a doughnut on 6th ave, brought my family in and we decided to order a few drinks.. well the blue haired lady didn't feel like making 3 hot chocolates and had the nastiest attitude toward us ( people of color) read more

Have yet to try donut I bought. Person at front tonight seemed very irritated that I came in 15 minutes before close. Drove upwards of 30 min to try this place and work schedule doesn't allow me to make it earlier. They sighed when I walked in and made a sarcastic comment when I quickly picked an item. Genuinely was uncomfortable at this interaction and wouldn't return. Very poor experience. read more

Giant size donuts. Limited selection. Not as tasty as regular sized donuts from Happy Donuts. Expensive .

I actually HATE donuts. Like they are not anything I am ever interested in eating at all. EVER. My husband usually gets Paos or Safeway in a pinch... but wevev never tried Legendary. My sisters wedding was last night and apparently she ordered a ton of mini donuts for the "late night" snack. When she went to pick up her order, there had a been a mistake and there were no donuts. The Tacoma location comped her 4 large boxes of whatever donuts she wanted for free. Although it was their mistake, in this day with prices and society I feel like a lot of places (especially a chain) wouldnt do something like this. This was a really great move on their part- especially on her wedding day. The donuts looked incredible- she chose so many different styles and each one looked so nicely decorated. As I mentioned I really have zero taste for donuts, but I did snag a few to bring home for my husband. I ended up trying a bite of this chocolate thing- chocolate donut with chocolate frosting, jam in the middle with caramel and whip on top. OMG OMG OMG OMG amazing! it didn't taste like a donut at all- it was more like a fudgy brownie. Yes it was sweet- but honestly I didn't think it was overly sweet or taste just like straight sugar. I also had a very small taste of the maple bacon... it wasn't my favorite but it was 100% better than any other maple bar I've ever had. The flavors are definitely there! If i were to get donuts I would absolutely come here! I was super impressed! Usually if something is overly decorated its going to taste like crap. This was not the case here. I love how they offer so many options, the donuts do not taste at all fried (although I am sure they are), and you can really taste the flavors instead of just sweet overload. If you want donuts at your wedding- Legendary is your spot! read more

BRING CASH! Good employee Cheapskate Management Poor Form: when asked by the machine if you want to tip, the amount suggested is based on the after tax amount. To add insult to injury Poor Form: then, they charge 3% for using a credit card ... to include the tip amount Poor: Cinnamon Churros = Day old (at best) I won't be coming back. read more

I'm surprised by some of the reviews because I popped in here unexpectedly on a Friday afternoon. Donuts were well stocked and all I wanted was a coffee. The barista was super nice, and the latte was REALLY good!! The smell of the donuts were so un-resistible that I had to peek at them. I saw the BIGGEST maple bar I've ever seen in the glass. My husband is a sucker for maple bars, so I picked him up one. When I gave it to him, he ate it in record time. He said it was one of the best maple bars he's ever had - and that's saying something. Cheers to the barista she was super friendly and helpful! read more

I've been to legendary donuts, maybe five times. This location in Tacoma, one in Frederickson near Puyallup and one in Orting. What I wanna know is, is it a prerequisite to hire bad attitude, condescending, zero personality, I wish you didn't come in here and bug me, bitter people? Because out of the five times I've been, four times at least, have made me feel that way. They just couldn't be bothered, no personality and I literally have to work up the courage to go in there to have somebody be condescending to me why? There are a lot of other donut shops, I won't be going back to any of legendarys. I gave way too many benifit of the doubts and they are not even that good. Try Helen's donuts in south Tacoma, they ROCK! read more

Really 3.5. Excellent selection but frankly the donuts were on the dry side and the flavor wasn't as good as the other shops I've been too. However, I gave them 3 stars as they do have a large selection of some very creative donuts. There were no cake donuts on my visit. Parking: street read more

Great donuts, great people, I especially like their coffee. I also liked the French toast donut, that was fantastic

I always come here for the boozy ball doughnuts. I think they are by far the best. They typically don't have any made at 6am but Jean was nice enough to make me some. They really should always staff 2 in the mornings because it can get super busy and sometimes the employees get overwhelmed. Also had the creme brûlée doughnuts but it didn't have the hard surface like they usually do. That's why I'm knocking off a star. Overall consistent establishment. read more

I love a good donut and Legendary Doughnuts definitely delivers! I've been here several times and just realized I've never written a review, but after this most recent visit had two of my favorite donuts ever from Legendary. I'll start by saying the size of the donuts are pretty big and can be shared with 1-2 others, especially if you buy a few different flavors to try. Also, the prices are extremely reasonable. I got the Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter and the Raspberry Pull Apart. The chocolate chip peanut butter is a raised ring topped with chocolate, peanut butter cream, and chocolate chips... everything about this donut was spot on from the peanut butter cream on top to the light and fluffy texture of the donut itself. Next, the raspberry pull apart was really good - the dough was light and the raspberry jelly was tart (could've used more jelly on top). The employees are always friendly and provide great customer service and the donuts are amazing! read more

My family does "donut Mondays" and we rarely ever stray from legendary donuts. The selection is amazing and you'll always find new cool flavors. The donuts themselves are massive (hence the donut cut in half). My ABSOLUTE favorite flavor is the creme brûlée donut! They even brûlée them to order. Pure heaven! Plus the staff is super friendly, which is just the icing on the cake (or donut)! read more

The. Worst. Apple Fritter. Ever. I wish I could give zero stars, because as you can see 1 star is way too generous. I would drive there if they weren't closed for the day and request a refund. I thought maybe it tasted better then the way it looked and now I have burnt cinnamon & sugar in my mouth that coffee can't even get rid of. I'm still in shock that they didn't throw this away! It just shows how little they care about quality. Throwing straight in the garbage. Burning the money I spent on door dash would have been a better decision then ordering these donuts. Pure. Garbage. read more

Not quite what I expected for a donut spot when I walked in as far as decor. Very clean and had a very bakery style set up so it was a pleasant surprise. The donuts are shockingly ginormous. Bigger than my hand on some and I have long fingers. The normal long John's you see at your usual donut shops are double the width so you definitely get your money's worth. The donuts are light and fluffy like what I appreciate in a yeast donut. I got the cinnamon twist which was good but I only ate half since it was bigger than usual. That's not a bad thing since I can save the other half for my afternoon dessert. Score! Parking was easy since there is plenty on the street but that could of also been because I went on a weekday morning. It's a definite must stop by just to see the size of their donuts if anything. Sharing is recommended. read more

Upping my rating. They don't make everything by scratch (frostings/fillings), and sure there is corn syrup and other "unhealthy" ingredients. But they are donuts, not health food. They make my kids super happy when they need a special treat, and they are beautiful, colorful donuts. Not my first top choice personally, but definitely my kids'! read more

Great doughnuts, customer service, and cares about their surrounding community. They sponsored free doughnuts for my classroom for an entire year to help motivate struggling students. Thank you so much Ms. Shannon Patten & Legendary Doughnuts! read more

When we went there was flies everywhere inside. While the donuts looked good they weren't that great. We were excited to try them but definitely felt it was hyped up too much. They are expensive but the donuts are huge so it's understandable. Not somewhere I'd spend money at again I think I just prefer our normal donuI will say the woman who helped us was amazing she was super sweet. read more

The apple fritters are HUGE! And also fresh and delicious. Solid cup of coffee and doughnuts in this cute neighborhood shop with friendly service . Their sign is kinda small so can be easy to miss. Definitely worth a stop! read more

Not bad. Not great. Pretty solidly mediocre. I tried the chocolate cake w/ chocolate frosting & caramel drizzle (4/5), apple fritter (3/5), maple covered cinnamon bun (3/5) and raised bourbon cream ball (3/5). All were a bit dry, the fritter was slightly overcooked/burnt, and the cinnamon bun was too sweet. Something about the texture on the cinnamon bun was off as well (a bit on the rubbery side). For $2-3/donut (which is most definitely overpriced), I expect better. They also charged a 3% service fee, the first I've seen of this in the area. I get that small businesses are struggling right now, but that's not an excuse to fleece your customers. There are other, smaller mom & pop donut shops in the area that have fresher offerings and execute the basics better. Try those instead. read more

Went here today for a doughnut and coffee for New Year's Eve, which was on a Sunday for a breakfast coffee and doughnut. The place was totally empty. Service was fine, but confusion as to what a 16oz latte was made with, 2 or 3 espresso shots. That has to be the most popular drink with a donut and there is confusion on how to make it? And then the coffee was so scalded that it tasted burnt. It was bad. The doughnuts were fine, but so sweet. I know it's a doughnut (relax... I know that sounds weird) but I ordered the crème brûlée doughnut which had a whiskey cream. The brûlée was awesome, brûléed very nice, but the cream was just so sweet, no balance of cream and whiskey ( which was what they said it would taste like) just one note sweet on sweet. Hubby ordered the Apple fritter which was okay, but tasted a little stale. I wish I would have bought the chocolate glazed donut which came out freshly made aa we were waiting. Rookie mistake. We probably won't be back, which bums me out, as we try to support local businesses. Next up to try - Paos, which was unfortunately closed for New Year's Eve breakfast. Many were driving through the parking lot, probably also disappointed. read more

Delicious, huge and fun donuts for good prices. The salted caramel doughsant was insane and I'll be back to try the rest of those!

I have been to several other Legendary locations and this one is my fvaorite. I love how one wall is a garage door, which they open during the warmer months. I love sitting on the bar height chairs with a long table facing the street. I happily eat my donut and people watch. I love their maple bacon ball. It's small and perfect for me. My hubby loves their apple fritter. The other donuts are delicious as well. Each time we're visited,.the staff have been quite friendly and attentive as well as patient as I can be quite indecisive at times. Highly recommended location!! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect here. I saw photos, but never realized how extra large their doughnuts were until I physically laid eyes on them myself. I arrived around 2:30pm on a Sunday and there was still a good selection to choose from. I had some people coming over, and decided to get their Amateur box, which is a dozen of their basic doughnuts for $18.99. That includes their plain glazed, maple and chocolate bars, old fashions, the double chocolate or blueberry cake doughnuts, or powdered sugar/cinnamon rolled ones. The tier goes up from there depending if you choose their famous or legendary boxes. In addition to the dozen, I also got a treat for myself and my boyfriend's kids. We tried the raspberry pull apart doughnut, and 2 blue berry fritters. The fritters were about the size of your head. Each specialty one was about $3/each. The box is big and sturdy, and comes with sniff holes for your nose's pleasure. I'm sure if I arrived earlier in the day, I would of had a bigger variety to choose from, but I was very satisfied with what I took home. Their case is decorated so beautiful, and the gal that assisted me was very helpful. Do note that this place is right off of 6th Ave, so it is street parking. Go treat yourself to a legendary doughnut or two... heck, even a dozen! read more

Now the 3 that I have been to do seem to have the basics that are out but the specials are different . It just seems to be what is mostly order it the main specials they have on hand. Tho they will make any thing you ask for if they have it on hand. I am told that they will even have stuff ready for you if you call ahead. read more
