    Seattles Best Donuts! 'Voted Best in the PNW' by The Seattle Times.
    lily f.

    Hi yelpers it's been a while since I've posted I visit the Mightyo Ballard at least once a week this month my new favorite donut is the Matcha I like to have it alongside and iced Matcha latte. In this post, I shared a few other photos from this past year of Best Donuts in the PNW and a pic about catering. I hope you enjoy Mighty-O as much as I do. My son's favorite is still a yeast raised cream filled with chocolate on top, he likes his matcha hot!

    When I frequented Mighty-O Donuts awhile back, it was usually at the Tangletown location (located between Wallingford and Green Lake). Originally, we headed down this way to an adjacent business but found it didn't open until 2pm. So we ended up next door at the Ballard Mighty-O Donuts instead. Passed on cupcakes, ice cream spot was closed, so going with doughnuts and coffee. Yes, both my brother and son were happy with this. The Bro had a vanilla nonfat latte and a peanut butter and chocolate doughnut. The Homie had a chocolate long john. Me - I had the glazed doughnut. It was a great way to wrap up our lunch get together. Service was okay, the staff seemed a bit stressed on this sunny Saturday. Maybe they had been pretty slammed earlier that morning. Doughnuts and coffee were on the pricier side, but that seems to be the new norm these days. This visit was an overall 2.5 rounded to a 3. Convenient and did the job for its hours and location. Would we or just me return...probably not.

    Free street parking on Sundays in Ballard enticed me to the Mighty-O Donuts on Northwest Market Street this morning, Sunday 7 May 2023. I had just visited Bergen Place, not many places were yet open at about 7:40 a.m. on a Sunday, and since parking was free I decided to see about getting a Mighty-O Donut. On entrance, I noticed no cash was accepted at this location. The donuts were on display directly inside the entrance. Seating was abundant, but I decided to go with a donut to-go. I was helped by a friendly and knowledgable worker, and selected a lemon poppy donut. The price was $3.50 and I paid (and tipped $0.50) via credit card. When I was living in South African for a little under half a year in 2012, I met people from multiple continents that held Mighty-O Donuts in high regard. The donut lived up to the hype. It was soft and crumbly, not too dense, and had an intense lemon flavor that was not jarring to my taste buds. Glaze speckled with poppy seeds topped the cake donut in a meticulous way and paired well with the cake donut flavor. The size of the donut I found to be satisfying.

    Cute place, friendly service, but the donuts were just okay. Especially for the price point, I'm not sure that I would come back. Our half dozen was $20. We tried two glazed donut os, a jam-o, chocolate raspberry, coffee bomb, and devils playground. The donuts themselves look great. The glazed were just okay. The coffee bomb wasn't necessarily giving me much coffee flavor, but it wasn't overly sweet. The jam-o wasn't very good but I did appreciate the filling (although there wasn't much of it). The chocolate raspberry was definitely the best, but not enough for me to crave it. Overall, maybe it was an off day?

    A bright, airy spot for donuts and coffee which is located a short walk from Downtown Ballard -- I've always walked by this place and decided to stop in for a sweet treat. There's plenty of seating inside, and we decided to enjoy our donuts there. They have all of the classic favorites, as well as their own spin on some popular flavors. For the price point, I felt like the donuts were a touch expensive for pretty basic flavors. I got a chocolate glazed and a maple bar, but neither knocked my socks off. Either way, it was a cute spot and I would stop by again (though likely not regularly)!

    My friends who live in Ballard prefer this place to Dough Boy, but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree. While this store is cute, I thought the donuts were only so so and nothing to write home about. They were kind of heavy in feeling, as the Raspberry Riot donut was kind of cake-like. I also felt that the Raspberry Riot wasn't big enough for its price. Many of the other flavors didn't appeal to me, as they were either chocolate-based or just boring (aka plain donut or glazed donut). The only other ones I'd try may be Lemon Poppyseed and French toast.

    Matcha Latte and French Toast Donut

    Came here with my wife and two of her friends when visiting Seattle last month on an early Sunday afternoon before we saw Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at Majestic Bay. My wife had a latte and I had a matcha latte which were amazing. They were out of most of the donuts except the Naked Cake and French Toast donuts but they were the best donuts I ever had. The staff was very friendly and the ambiance is nice and rustic. We look forward to returning and trying more of their donuts.

    Have you stopped in a MIGHTY-O DONUTS shop lately to try their latest Seasonal creation? I went to their Ballard shop this morning and got my favorite Americano and tried their Banana Bread Seasonal Donut. I agree, "Banana Bread" sounds pretty plain and boring but it tasted amazing and was far from boring! I love how this donut was wonderfully cakey, moist, and had that perfect not too sweet semi-crunchy brown sugar texture and banana taste in every bite. Their donuts are surprisingly plant-based and they use the best fair trade, organic, and non-GMO ingredients which makes me feel better about myself when choosing to eat a donut, lol. SWEET ALCHEMY ICE CREAM is right next door. You can order donuts á la mode at their Ballard shop. I can imagine eating this Banana Bread donut with a scoop of ice cream (like coconut) which would make this dessert taste even better and take it to the next level. Maybe next time! Unfortunately, it was too early for ice cream. Mighty-O has 5 shops in the Seattle area. Check them out!!!

It ended up being so tasty that I came here twice within a few days. The first visit, I got veggie tempura appetizer and chirashi rice bowl.

The veggie tempura are actually not separate pieces of vegetables in tempura, but kakiage (shredded veggies fried together) - still pretty good though. The chirashi rice bowl was fantastic - beautiful presentation as the fish came on the side, pretty fresh, and I appreciated the small details, like the wasabi stem inside the scallop and the shiso leaf/sprouts that accompanied the dish. The service was fantastic as well, considering I had a table for one during lunch hour. My second visit I was on the go, so I got the Classic sushi burrito, which again was maybe a little pricier than I would like, but it was worth it. Rice, fish/poke, crab mix, cucumber, avocado - it all mixed nicely wrapped within the rice paper outside, and was convenient to eat for takeout. Definitely recommend giving it a try if you're around the area and feel like treating yourself to more than a soup/salad/sandwich...

    I am so grateful for my experience at Life On Mars. It turned out to be the highlight of a…read moretumultuous Seattle trip and I look back on it fondly. We came here mostly for one thing: I absolutely could not wait for their gluten-free vegan chick'n pot pie. A pie i'd been waiting months to try. A pie unlike any other pie. A pie that I still think about to this day. We walked straight into a Cardi B drag show. And by "walked into" I mean we opened the door and Hot Pink Shade sashayed right in front of us. It was exactly the kind of welcome we love. It was also the first green flag in a sea of green flags at Life On Mars. I could barely sit still as I waited to order my GF/VG pot pie. We got the drinks outta the way (a peach hard cider for me and a fancy-schmancy cocktail for the lady). I was positively GIDDY when Anna came to take our order and I blurted out chick'n pot pie excitedly. I nearly died when she said they didn't have any. Normally it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but I was from out of town and had literally been craving this damn pie for months! And I lied, I didn't nearly die but I DID nearly cry and that's almost as bad. Even the bestie lamented about what a let down this was. Anna. Dear, sweet Anna. We must have looked really hard up because this sweet baby angel offered to ask the cooks if they could whip one up special just for me. Let me tell you why this is a big deal: For one, she didn't need to do that. That's going above and beyond, and she was such a graceful little buttercup when she did it. Second, making a gluten free biscuit is a finicky, precise, detailed process. It sucks, honestly, and I don't blame them for not having them every day. I nearly cried when she came back and told us the cooks said YES. And this time i'm not lying. It was beyond the type of customer service i'm used to. It was.... humane. It was...empathetic. It was...totally first world problems but it meant so much to me! Especially since Anna said it had been a DAY and she was at her wits end. For her to have a rough day and still have the grace and compassion to make my stupid GF/VG chick'n pot pie dreams come true.....well, yeah, it made me a bit teary eyed. The pot pie was delicious, as expected. It was nostalgic and comforting, like a big hug in a bowl. The flavors were rich and deep, the biscuit soft and flaky; it was one of the most delicious things i've tasted on my GF/VEG journey. Between the food, the drinks, the customer service and the drag show......this was five stars all around. No doubt. I don't see the GF chick'n pot pie on their menu anymore. Maybe it's a seasonal thing? I hope it comes back, i'll be checking. And when it pops up again, so will I. Thank you, Anna. Thank you to the cooks on 2/19/26. Thank you to Hot Pink Shade, ISIS and King Leo Mane. Just, thank you.
