I've heard so much buzz about this place, but I'm wondering if my hour-long wait is really worth it. I STAND CORRECTED! It is definitely worth the wait! I've bought two of each kind of donuts. The maximum purchase is eight donuts per person. Flavor for the month were: HOKEY POKEY CARROT CHEESECAKE MATCHA CREAM YUZU CURD Even after three days in the fridge, they were still amazing! The specialty item that day was the STICKY TOFFEE CAKE. Again maximum was 2 per person. Now I totally why it's so popular! It's my absolute favorite! You can now add me to your fan base list! read more

We love flourbox donuts and have come to get them many times by now. Every time there's around a 1.5hr wait. Today, pregnant mama was craving cinnamon rolls so we planned all week to come and get them. Here's how the cinnamon rolls were: Fluffy and soft, inside and out. Tasteful amount of frosting. Light cinnamon sugar nestled between layers. Personally, I like my cinnamon rolls slightly undercooked and doughy in the middle. I also like have more cinnamon sugar, so that it kind of oozes. These are not that. They are cooked perfectly the whole way, no doughy center, but also no hard/dry exterior. The cinnamon sugar is light, not syrupy or drippy. The entire thing was sweet, but not too sweet. Were they good? Yes. Would I wait 1.5hrs next time? Probably not. The macrina cinnamon rolls are just fine without the wait in my opinion. The matcha latte paired well with the cinnamon roll, and the two complimented each other. Will come back for more donuts next time though! read more

The Flour Box is a delightfully cute bakery, but you should definitely be prepared for a bit of a wait. The lines here are notoriously long, and I genuinely wish they offered an option for pick-up orders to help bypass the crowd outside. That being said, once you finally get inside, the service is impressively quick. The ambiance is very charming and welcoming. I picked up a latte alongside a sea salt brownie and three donuts: honeycomb, yuzu, and matcha. The honeycomb donut was easily my favorite of the bunch. The absolute best part of the entire experience, though, is the actual dough of the donuts. The texture and flavor of the bread itself are phenomenal and truly set their pastries apart from other spots in Seattle. Overall, the baked goods are fantastic and well worth trying. If the ordering process was just a little more convenient, it would easily be five stars! read more

The Flour Box - Matcha, 2 Yuzus, Honeycomb - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The Flour Box is very well known, rightfully so. Lines always form before they open, but it's much better than waiting in line while they're open. Show up earlier and spend less of your day waiting. Seating is available, but expect it to be cold (outdoors with a cover). A bit overhyped (most things are) but delicious and worth a visit. High quality, rotating flavors, consistency, and limited stock draw the crowd. Gen-Matcha Latte - honestly pretty basic, very similar to coffee shop matcha. The overall drink was milkier than desired and the matcha isn't too potent, but it can satisfy the craving if there's no better options or there's a time crunch. With the rise of matcha specialty places, I'd consider matcha elsewhere. Roasted Banana - at $5.50 a donut, it's pricey, but worth trying at least once, maybe twice, three times, or more. Banana is a fairly powerful flavor and here it's also creamy, smooth, and not too sweet. I can imagine ripe bananas are used here meaning minimal added sugar, because the filling isn't that sweet. The brioche itself is a wonderful fluff and I feel like the sprinkled sugar on top is sweeter than the filling. Okinawa Sweet Potato - at $5.75 a donut, the 25 cent increase could be attributed with the tasty mochi sealing the filling. Joking, I'm sure the ingredients for this filling can be pricier plus the labor is a bit more effort. Sweet potato is a classic taste that ube and taro lovers will enjoy. The nutty potato flavors are roasted with a coconut flavor, there's a faint smokiness while not being overwhelmingly sweet. read more

The Flour Box needs no introduction, and frankly probably doesn't even need this review. But the photos I took during my most recent visit are so pretty I figured I may as well put them up here! This round of flavors was their best one yet, the Yuzu was so fresh and sour while the Kimchi one was original and satisfying. My favorite was the Jasmine milk tea one, the tea accent in the cream was so beautiful. I waited 1 hour 45 minutes total this time, I usually come once every 2 or 3 months when I see a round of flavors i feel especially passionate about. I hope to see them continue to lean into making more original flavors, especially asian ones :) read more

There's a line. The wait is worth it. We got a variety of flavors but The Winter Cold Brew was my fave- the filling was light - but rich with coffee flavor rounded off with a a smooth orange flavor. The quality of the donuts is fantastic and soft and PACKED with the quality fillings. Can't go here every day but if you've got the time you should make it. read more

I love these donuts and every time I go back I'm always wow-ed by the different flavors. I love that they rotate the flavors every few weeks. I like the more savory donuts better but they're all so tasty and consistent. Service is friendly and quick. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy the donuts and drinks after purchasing, they have some merchandise and other items for purchase by the front. Worth the wait in line every time, get there a half hour to an hour before opening to secure the goods. read more

Saw this place on TikTok and had to go try it. Waited in line for almost 2 hours. We arrived 9am and left at 10:45am.... We tried all the donuts they offered. It was good but not amazing. The one item that cause my attention was the sticky toffee cake. That was worth waiting in line for. Parking sucks btw. Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Super cute layout. They truly put a lot of thoughts and efforts into their food and decor. read more

My friend follows The Flour Box on Instagram and saw their special donut offerings: Jasmine Milk Tea, Red Bean Cream, Yuzu Curd and Kimchi Everything! We went on a Friday morning and when we arrived there was already a line out the door. I've been here before when the line snaked around the block, so seeing the line only at the corner of the street made us feel lucky. When we got inside we saw the display of donuts. They looked amazing! I love their attention to detail to create a wonderful sight of each donut. My friend ordered one of each flavor and specific ones for her two friends. I ordered the Yuzu Curd and Jasmine Milk Tea donuts. We also ordered their special drinks; banana milk and orange vanilla latte. The Jasmine Milk Tea donut had a nice flavor. It didn't overwhelm me, but then I took a bite of the Yuzu Curd donut. I could taste the sweetness of the donut and the tangy tartness of the lemon curd! It tasted great! My friend ate her Kimchi Everything donut and loved it. She saved the other donuts for later. I saved the other halves of my donuts for my partner, but I wished I had gotten another Yuzu Curd donut for myself! If you like creative, beautiful donuts with interesting flavors, you must go to The Flour Box. They do an amazing job with the donuts, plus the presentation is top notch. read more

I absolutely LOVE coming to Flour Box and trying their new biweekly flavors of brioche donuts. Although the line does get extremely long (and I do recommend coming at least 30 mins before opening to hop in line) they're worth the wait. It's also very cute inside the cafe area in and outside so I'd recommend stopping for a bit to enjoy your order. read more

The best donuts I have had yet! This place is a very popular one! I tend to steer clear of places with long lines because hype usually dies down but this is not the case for the flour box. They have a consistent line and wait every day that they are open but it is completely understandable why. Their rotating flavors make visiting this place fun and they usually space out repeating flavors. They also have great matching flavors for holiday occasions. My biggest piece of advise is to keep up with their line and their flavors on their social media. They will usually update their estimated wait time on their instagram story! I have visited this place close to 10 times and each time the wait has been longer than 25 minutes but I have never waited more than 1 hour. It is honestly a great weekend activity with company! Some of my favorite flavors include their caramel biscoff, cold brew, brownie, and so many more! The cream filling flavors are always spot on and just right. The donut itself also takes the cake when it comes to this style of donut! I recommend getting there early so flavors that you want don't run out and finding street parking in the nearby neighborhood. Do bring patience and good company and your morning will be set! read more

Absolutely love this gem - the best brioche donuts in Washington by far. Every flavor is well thought out and unique. You call tell they use all fresh ingredients. They have the best rotating menu for not just donuts, but also espresso/tea drinks, and occasional miscellaneous desserts. Highly recommend Shy Bear Fog (an oolong tea drink). The line out the door is intimidating but it usually goes a lot quicker than expected. I'm usually able to find an open seat in their lounge area whenever I visit close to opening. Keep an eye on their Instagram stories for real-time updates on their inventory. read more

I am SUCH a fan of this place. For the last few years I've come here every other month or so to try new flavors and stand in line to chat with a good friend. Make no mistake, the line is long, but it goes by quickly because you know what you're getting in return is SO worth it. Whether it's their savory Everything Salmon or their sweet Hokey Pokey, everything I've tried here is top notch and supports the locals. I will continue to come here and wait for the best donuts I've ever tasted. HUGE thank you to The Flour Box team - you guys are awesome at what you do. read more

This place has been on my list for the longest time and I finally managed to head over to check out their fall flavors! I ordered the honeycrisp apple donut, a chocolate chip cookie, and the mulled apple cider (seasonal drink). Everything I got here was delicious! My favorite by far was definitely the honeycrisp apple donut, especially because the filling inside had apple pieces inside that were clearly freshly cut due to having a light and snappy bite to them. Loved the more subtle taste of the fresh apples too compared to the ones that you usually get in baked goods--it really made this stand out as a pastry! The donut itself was so so so soft and fluffy, maybe even slightly too soft as I like when my donuts have some crust to them and this one was just pillowy inside and out. I'm totally not complaining though. Everything here was definitely worth the wait! I got there significantly before opening (around 9:40am) and the line was already really long though, so definitely line up early. read more

This pace is no joke. With limited hours and lines, it's important to get there well before opening if you hope to order from the selection of their weekly donut flavors! I waited about an 45 min-1hour before opening, and maybe got to the cashier around 30-45 after. While there was quite a wait, it was worth the excursion and meeting some fellow foodies! All four flavors were AMAZING, I can't wait to see what other flavors are released! read more

Food: 5 Decor: 3 Service: 4 Came here with a friend after waiting in line for over an hour (arrived about an hour before opening at 9:08am on a slightly rainy day). Store opened at 10am, and the line was cut off at 10:05am. Coconut Pandan Whipped coconut milk pudding filling blended w/ fresh pandan leaves; topped w/ toasted coconut Black Sesame Whipped black sesame mascarpone cream filling w/ a hint of honey; topped w/ house-made sesame crumble Matcha Cream Whipped matcha & mascarpone cream filling made w/ Sugimoto matcha; topped w/ house-made candy eye Okinawa Sweet Potato Roasted purple sweet potato filling w/ browned butter & coconut milk; topped w/ house-made coconut mochi 5/5.

Basque Cheesecake (GF) Creamy vanilla bean Basque-style burnt cheesecake; gluten-free $7.25 5/5. Very well made Basque cheesecake that was super creamy. Mulled Apple Cider (DF, seasonal) House-mulled Washington apple cider w/ fresh navel oranges & organic cinnamon $4.75 | 5.25 | 5.75 3/5. Very good for a mulled apple cider, but I liked my jasmine milk tea more. Jasmine Milk Tea 4/5. Solid jasmine milk tea. read more

Overall: I'm very glad that I waited in line for this place. I was skeptical of the line at first, but once I got to try all the food I can say it was worth the hype. Food: The donuts are super fluffy and the filling is really creamy. Each flavor comes out really well and pairs with the powdered donut texture. The cheesecake was also really good, not as popular as the donuts but I recommend you try it. The drinks tasted very fresh. Got a strawberry milk matcha and the strawberry part was so good. Service: You'll need to wait in line for this place for awhile. You also can't show up too late into the day or else they will run out of donuts. I got here about 30min before they opened and there was already a line around the corner of the street. Be prepared to make this a whole side quest. Ambiance: This is a lively sit-down place, the decorations and seating material are all geared towards a chill coffee shop vibe. Lots of natural lighting and decorations that fuel that chill vibe aesthetic they are going for. read more

I've been wanting to come here for years and finally came at a time with NO line! These lived up to the hype and were delicious.

I really liked: Horchata donut Blueberry Milk I liked: Roasted Banana This was ok: Honey Lavender Latte The Flour Box is a great spot for unique donuts and drinks in Seattle. The horchata donut was excellent. Fluffy, flavorful, and easily the standout. The roasted banana donut was also really good, with a generous amount of filling and just the right touch of cinnamon. The blueberry milk surprised me in the best way. It had a strong, natural blueberry flavor that reminded me a little of the themed Star Wars drinks. The honey lavender latte, though, was a miss for me. It did not taste much like lavender at all, more like a faintly flavored iced coffee. Even after asking for it to be remade, the flavor was still lacking, so I would not order it again. The courtyard seating is lovely and open, a nice place to enjoy your donuts. The only downside is parking. It is nearly impossible to find a spot nearby since the courtyard takes up about as much space as the lot itself. Service was very friendly. The staff were happy to box donuts however we wanted and even remade drinks when asked. read more

Might be one of the best if not the best donuts Ive ever had. I came around 9-10am where there was already a long line to wait. The line took maybe an hour or so more Im not sure but the donuts were worth it. We got one of each donut that was available. Black sesame, matcha, taro, and pandan. They were all so well prepped and they tasted so balanced and delicious. Nothing was too sweet or overwhelming. You could tell all the flavors were coming from real fresh ingredients. The shop itself was very clean, modern and well organized with plenty of covered seating in the outside. Id highly recommend anyone coming here to try their donuts and even their additional items such as coffee and occasionally some passion projects like their sichuan chilly oil which I bought two of because they were so good. read more

Food: This is literally the best donuts ever!!! It is so airy, creamy, not too sweet, and not too oily. I always love seeing on IG what their flavor of the week is and they always have different unique flavors. Donuts are around $5 ish a piece and it's worth every penny. Notable mention are their brownies. ITS SO GOOD. I tried both of their brownies and basque cheesecake and we always grab either one (or both!) whenever we do stop by Service/Line: I usually go at around 11:00 AM whenever I do go and usually wait around 40 minutes? The line moves pretty fast tbh. I also love how they would update the line and on their IG story on the # of donuts left. Once you get to the counter? You just pick out how many donuts and what flavors and they'll pack it neatly for you Ambiance: The sitting area is so cute and aesthetic. We always say how we'll grab a couple donuts and then go home, but majority of the time, we would just sit there and eat the donuts. Parking: Even though it's located in a fairly busy location, there is always parking around the neighborhood! I'm always able to find a spot easily Overall: I will always recommend this place to anyone and everyone! A must go to place when you're in Seattle or if you're craving a sweet treat that's not too heavy read more

It took me a couple of hours to finally get these donuts. The first time I went was a couple years ago and I thought I arrived early enough (30 minutes to opening) but alas I was wrong. Shortly after I got in line, they had put up a sign that said if you're past this point they couldn't guarantee donuts. So with a two hour wait time, I left. Fast forward to a couple weekends ago, we finally decided to try again and get ur wait in line was only about 20-25 minutes. Service was friendly enough. Minimal interaction as I just told them the number of donuts I wanted and which ones. We also ordered one brownie and one slice of basque cheesecake. If they had not been sold out of cinnamon rolls, I probably would have ordered one too but they were already sold out. There is plenty of seating if you get a beverage and want to enjoy your goodies on site. It's a cute, quaint vibe and pretty spacious. The donuts were extremely fresh and tasty. Do I think they are worth even an hour wait? No. I am not sure I would even wait 25 minutes for these again. I could easily go to General Porpoise and get good quality donuts with no wait time. However, the brownie and cheesecake were a 5/5 for me and I would probably wait the 25 minutes for those. That cheesecake was absolutely divine and I thoroughly enjoyed the brownie much more than I anticipated. I actually enjoyed the brownie and cheesecake more than the donuts. I'm glad I finally got to try the donuts here. I feel like I have checked off a Seattle foodie bucket list item. read more

Even on a thursday at 11 am, there was a line for this place but it moved pretty quickly thanks to their organized system. I've heard the donut flavors change weekly, so they post the flavors at the front. This week's flavors were gingerbread cream, sticky toffee, evergreen state, and peppermint cookies & cream, so as you can tell, they're not your basic donut flavors! I got one of each to try, and our favorite was the sticky toffee. They all sounded very sweet, but the best part about this place is how well they control the sweetness -- the cream inside is just the perfect amount of sweetness contained in a fluffy airy dough. we also got lattes, but definitely the donuts are the star of the show!! I'd definitely come back to try new flavors they release! The interior is decorated very festive for the holidays, making it a cute hangout spot. There is a parking lot but depending on how busy it gets, it may be difficult to find a spot. read more

Their handmade filled brioche donuts are still the fluffiest filled donuts I've ever had. The fillings are super unique, and they're always switching it up in the best way. Yes, there's usually a long line, but honestly, I think it's worth it. My favorites are the genmaicha cream, kimchi everything, and honeycrisp apple, all so different and packed with flavor. They also have a very cute indoor and outdoor seating area, which makes it a nice spot to hang out once you've got your treats. If you're a donut lover, this place is a must! read more

I just love love love their goodies! The donuts are honestly to die for, I know they'll have different flavors so personally for me I check out their website beforehand. There's gonna be a line so expect to wait a little bit but once it starts it'll definitely go by quickly and the service is really great! The place itself is pretty neat too so if you have a whole day to yourself where you aren't in a rush at all, I'd say line up for this in the morning and then go with the flow after that! read more

First of all, I heard that the owner recently had a medical emergency, so the bakery is temporarily closed. I hope she has a speedy recovery! I visited on my Seattle trip about three weeks ago. I had heard that The Flour Box pretty much always has a long line. Their schedule was Thursday through Saturday from 10am to 12:30pm or until sellout. We got there on a Friday shortly after 10am, and the line was all the way to the sidewalk and wrapped around their parking lot. So we went to get brunch first then came back around 11:30am. The line was still long, but manageable. They only sell 1,000 donuts a day, and by 11:30am there were only 250 donuts left! We waited about 20-25 minutes, got to the counter and there were only 10 donuts left, and only 2 of the 4 flavors were available. We got the Mango Lassi donut and Banana Caramel donuts. The donuts were covered in sugar with a piece of fruit covering where they inserted the filling. They were soft and fluffy with a chewy exterior and a creamy filling. The Mango Lassi filling had just the right amount of sweetness. Banana Caramel was a bit too sweet. My friend also got the Banana Muffin - it was dense but full of flavor. I also tried the Basque Cheesecake. I was so excited because I had wanted to try one for so long. Thank goodness it did not disappoint! The taste was like a regular cheesecake, but the texture was much lighter, creamy, and smooth. The edges were a bit more dense. I love that they don't use any preservatives, softeners, or stabilizers in their donuts. Because of that, they recommend eating them the same day. I saved half of my Mango Lassi donut in the fridge. The next day it still tasted good, but of course not as soft and fluffy as the day before. Tip: They have disposable kitchen gloves on the side counter where you can grab napkins and utensils. The gloves were a great idea so that you don't get all of the donut sugar and stickiness on your fingers. Definitely try this place but plan for the wait time. read more

I think it's safe to assume I like flourbox haha. Been here a few times now and although their donuts are sometimes hit and miss for me, the basque cheesecake, cinnamon rolls and brownie have been consistently delicious. I don't go here often because there's a long line and parking is not ideal, but once In a while, I would be venture here and it's been worth it. They have a very nice , relaxing area for you to sit and enjoy your treats and drink. So if you are not in a rush, definitely enjoy the stuff fresh onsite. read more

Popped by to get some donuts as we are nearby, family in town, and saw the instagram story indicating no lines. We got one of each donuts (except carrot cheesecake). I believe this was my second time having genmaicha cream and I just live the roasted taste from the genmaicha. The raspberry cream was great because it is different, sweet acidic and refreshing. Personally i would rank hokey pokey my least favorite out of the three, but it's still pretty good. The honeycomb piece at the top was quite good crunchy and airy. read more

I feel like I'm about to giveaway a big secret, but here it goes. While everyone comes for the donuts, it's the cheesecake and brownies that CANNOT be missed. We arrived around 11:30 and there was a long line around the block. Although the sign said that there was still 150 donuts, by the time we got to the front, they were all sold out. We were a sad, but figured we'd stood in line for a reason so it'd at least be worth grabbing drinks. We didn't realize they also had the cheesecake and brownies (along with a kimchi dip). The basque cheesecake was easily one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. It was so creamy in the center with a delicious burnt top crust. Wow! The brownies were also so good. The brownies had a nice saltiness to them and were rich and incredible. My friends who frequent the Flour Box often actually said that they thought that the cheesecake and brownies were better than the donuts. Maybe these are just their hidden secret. We also had some great drinks. I ordered a black sesame steamer (no caffeine) and it was so yummy. A nice decaf option, while they also have some great caffeinated options like matcha. The Flour Box has a big outdoor space with lots of picnic tables to enjoy your treats! read more

Seriously delicious donuts! Totally worth the wait. We came Friday morning around 9:20am before they opened and had our order in hand by 10:15am. Definitely worth going before they open to avoid waiting too long in line and to ensure you get what you want before they sell out! This week they had their cookies and cream donut and a salmon lox donut which we ordered. We also got one cinnamon roll, brownie, strawberry milk and an iced latte. Everything was so good and tasted fresh! The salmon lox donut surprised me but I really liked it. They have a lot of seating available, both inside and outside. The drinks were delicious, the cinnamon roll had the perfect icing to dough ratio, and the brownie was fudgy and sweet. read more

Excellent, creative donuts. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in the consistency of each one. Their drinks are also great, with the strawberry milk being a delicious and nostalgic favorite of mine. Somehow, even with the number of customers, service feels personal and there's always a place to sit. No matter when you go, the line will typically be no less than an hour. This is more excusable in the launch phase, but with the bakery being open for a few years now, it's probably time to figure out a preordering system. I get the sense the wait time is a bit of a pride point for them, since the one week there wasn't a major line, they posted on Instagram about a perceived loss of interest. It's not really normal for even the best places to have this kind of line, and it comes across as a bit disrespectful of customer's time. read more

How does Pamela do it? Every time my friend and I visit Flour Box, we're always left awestruck by the donuts. Often, the more unconventional flavors - despite our initial hesitation-end up being our favorite. Waiting nearly an hour for donuts sounds ridiculous. Trust me, I'm well aware, but the Flour Box is completely worth it. There's no better way to start your weekend than with donuts, designed with the perfect ratio of dough and cream filling. The dough alone is incredible, each bite is so soft and chewy you might as well be eating a cloud. And of course, I have to give a shoutout to fillings. Not only do the flavors pair well together, I appreciate how the sweetness is subtle and never overpowers. You can just tell everything was made in-house from the freshness of the baked goods. Highly recommend getting in line an hour before opening for a good chance of locking down a box and their equally delicious cinnamon roll. Flour Box usually sells out around noon. They also serve coffee if you're not a morning person! Don't let the line scare you, there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating! Honestly, the Flour Box team deserves a bottle of Henny weekly. read more

For some people, waiting 60+ minutes for donuts is the last thing they'd want to do. But for anyone with the patience and a sweet tooth, I highly recommend visiting. This place is only open for a limited hours Thurs - Sun but usually sells out of donuts earlier. These aren't your typical donuts or flavors. They are handcrafted to perfection daily and change flavors biweekly. And now, I have finally made the time to review this place. For last week's lineup, we ordered: the honey lavender, lemon lime curd and fruity pebbles. We also got two drinks & cinnamon rolls (not pictured). Wow to all of them! The fills aren't too sweet and just melt in your mouth. The cinnamon rolls are new (do not recall seeing them the last few yrs) and were absolutely amazing. The cinnamon roll was moist & the frosting was just the right amount leaving this buttery bite of deliciousness in your mouth. Honorable mentions of past flavors: crème brûlée, strawberry cream, and matcha cream. There's a good amount of seating to enjoy your pastries and drinks with. It's beautiful with a variety of seating that meets your comfort level. I'll be honest, the line is the worst part about this place. To combat this, I try to arrive at 8:30am on a Saturday. They open at 10am and it'll take time to get through people, but if the wait is 90+ mins, I'd rather have a high probability of getting the donuts I want than coming here to wait and finding out they will sell out of what you want. I also HIGHLY recommend following their instagram @theflourboxseattle! Pamela does a great job at communicating updates of how many donuts are left, wait times & anything else that suddenly comes up which is very helpful in planning. read more

Came here because my little brother had been dying to try it since he moved to the Seattle area. We queued up in a line that extended out the door and down the sidewalk on a Friday afternoon, hoping there would be three of each doughnut left by the time we got to the register. As we waited, an employee came out with a sandwich board to announce how many total doughnuts they had left for the day. This was both super helpful and very nerve-racking, as we had been ostensibly presented with a countdown. After about 20-or-so minutes waiting, we got a dozen doughnuts (3 of each flavor), selling out the cold brew option for the day (which they announced out loud to the rest of the line). We ate some of our bounty on the patio, and I was surprised at how large their seating area is for a bakery. All of the flavors, which change weekly, were stellar. I also highly recommend trying a drink from their creative (and seasonal) menu. We had a bunch of doughnuts left to share with family, who also absolutely loved them (especially the pistachio and cold brew). My little brother got a cookie and said it was delicious too. Definitely recommend this cute bakery for a treat (or 12). Just show up early to get in line. read more

There's not much to add here. Been here a few times already and it's worth the wait, anywhere from 10-60 minutes. If you arrive at 11.30am there's a sweet spot of less time in the line and they usually seem to have availability of flavors. The coffee and non-coffee drinks are also well thought out. We got the gianduja and orange latte specials. Since the flavors change every 2 weeks, you can keep coming back at that frequency! The patio seating is heated and covered and really spacious. Great for kids to hang out too! read more

I've heard so much about this place--how the donuts sell out before 11am and the line is always long. So when I happened to be driving nearby around 11:00am, I figured I'd finally check it out to see if it really lives up to the hype. And yep--there was still a long line. Right as I joined, a staff member came out with a sign that said "less than 500 donuts left today." I had time, so I decided to go for it. Today's flavors were Honey Lavender, Lemon Lime Curd, Chocolate Brownie, and Fruity Pebbles. Since it was my first time finally making it in, I had to get one of each. I also grabbed their popular Alpine Brew coffee. While I was at it, I noticed a cheesecake and salted caramel bar in the case and figured... might as well. Who knows when I'll wait in line again? The space itself is bright and charming, with patio seating and lots of plants giving it a welcoming vibe. The barn-style garage doors add a unique touch and give it that "Seattle hidden gem" feel. The seating, though, isn't super cozy--it definitely feels more like a grab-and-go spot. Staff are used to indecisive customers and the line moves steadily. If your phone's charged, the wait doesn't feel too bad. It took me until about 11:45 to finally sit down with my order, drink included. It's also really thoughtful of them to offer gloves - these donuts are stuffed and beautifully filled, and it gets messy fast when you take that first bite. The gloves help you enjoy it without ruining the fluffy texture or getting sticky. First up: the Alpine Brew. This was my favorite part of the visit! The rosemary and sage flavors were super unique and gave the coffee this calm, earthy, almost meditative vibe. I'd come back just for this drink. For the donuts: Honey Lavender: Mildly sweet with a very strong lavender kick. The floral aroma was intense, but I actually loved it. Lemon Lime Curd: Tart and citrusy, but a bit too sweet for my taste--I was hoping for more tartness. Dough texture: Slightly chewy, which I didn't mind, but I was kind of expecting a fluffier, Hawaiian malasada-style dough. Still, it's definitely fresh and made in-house daily--you can taste the difference, especially if you take it home. Salted Caramel Brownie: A surprise winner. I'm not a huge brownie fan, mostly because I don't love the sticky texture, but this one was chewy without being clingy to your teeth. Really well balanced. Overall thoughts: I think I went in with really high expectations based on the hype. While everything was good, I'm not sure I'd wait in line again just for the donuts. But the coffee? 100% worth a return visit. read more

Was very excited to finally try this place after seeing all the hype over social media. We went around 10:30AM on a Friday and the line was about an hour along. Employees were friendly and offered us a puppaccino for our dog, which was so kind! I'm usually not a donut person, but enjoyed these donuts. They have new alternating flavors every week. The brioche dough was very light and fluffy, and the lemon lime was my favorite out of the selections for this week. Loved the tartness of the filling, and the subtle sweetness added a nice touch. The chocolate brownie filling was also nice and light, but the brownie piece on top was overly salty in my opinion. The honey lavender had lavender notes that were too overpowering for me, and I usually enjoy honey lavender flavored food/drinks. Would've tried their coffee if we weren't planning on visiting 3 other coffee shops that afternoon. Overall, good experience, but don't think I'd wait in the long lines too often. read more
