These are the fluffiest with most exquisite flavors. Their Instagram page would usually have the flavors for that week. read more

The line was about two hours long but ended up getting the Fruity Pebbles and the Hokey Pokey donut. They were quite delicious and worth the wait. I enjoyed that it wasn't too doughy since the the donuts were filled a lot making them super moist. I also got the strawberry milk and loved that it tasted like it was made from fresh strawberries and the added mint made it fresh and paired well together. I am giving it four star since the line was long but I would go again once new flavors are out but I would not go too often as there are only really four flavors at a time. read more

Pros: The donuts are good. Con: We came at 10:00 and ordered after 2 hrs wait. Two flavors were sold out. I'm okay with that but there were plenty of people behind us that left after waiting in line for about an hour because they would likely run out by the time they got to the front. Makes one wonder if there is a better way to run the business. read more

In economics, there's a concept called "Willingness to Pay." Here, the WTP encompasses not only the price of the donuts, but also time waiting in line, effort to make the trek over from long distances, bearing with uncertain weather conditions, etc... The Flour Box regularly has customers with high WTP for their donuts and drinks. The utility derived from their products can be worth it, to some. I arrived 10 minutes past opening on a Thursday, and the line was already stretched around two street corners to the back of the building. My wait time was an hour and a half, and they had sold out of one of the donut varieties when I got to the front of the line. Make sure to bring a book/phone (and umbrella on rainy days) to make the wait bearable. Another time, I lucked out and only had to wait 20 minutes on a very rainy day when arriving at 11 AM, and none of the donuts had been sold out yet. It's all really a gamble. The owner pretty consistently posts updates on the line status in Instagram stories. The service was always very kind and the donuts were high quality. I also tried their specialty strawberry milk with a shot of matcha, which was delicious! They are dog friendly and offered to give dogs a pup cups! Pleasant, airy ambiance. There is both outdoor and indoor seating to enjoy the donuts and drinks that avoids the busyness of the moving line. While they only advise enjoying the donuts the same day, the donuts I got still tasted great one day after with proper storage. I'd only come back for new donut varieties I'd really want to try. read more

Hands down the best donuts I have ever had. Every time we visit Seattle, this is definitely a stop. When we first had them, we had to reserve them a week ahead. Now they don't do reservations, you just have to wait in a line that is always out the door. But it is SO worth it, and I'll be in that line every time I visit! They do sell out, so make sure you get there earlier! You can also track when they sell out because they post on their instagram page. They have fantastic flavors, the dough is light and fluffy, and the filling is never too sweet or overwhelming. They are perfect. I recommend just getting one of each when you go, no matter what the flavor! They have a small cute indoor area, and an outdoor space to enjoy the goods as well. They serve some coffee and other drinks as well. So far I tried the strawberry milk and that was so good! The baker is also a James Beard 2022 Semi-finalist at the time of this review! read more

Standing in line is worth it. Went about 30 minutes ahead of opening . Line moves pretty fast . Donuts are light and the fillings are great . read more

Passed this place numerous times and always encountered long lines outside. Needless to say, I had to check it out and it DID NOT disappoint!!! Got the coconut donut and a dark sugar latte. The texture of the donut is so soft, it melts in your mouth while the cream didn't fall out. The coffee was excellent as well, my friends even liked the drip coffee! The outdoor patio is also really cozy and welcoming. read more

Considering how long the line is and the hype around this place, I expected the donuts to be better. They were good, but pretty average in my opinion. Be prepared for the wait. We got there a little bit before 10 and it took around 1.5 hours to buy the donuts. read more

If you can handle the wait, The Flour Box has some of the best donuts you will ever head! They open at 10:00 AM 4 times a week, we started lining up at 9:30 AM and waited about 1.5 hours but the wait definitely varies depending on which day you go. Make sure to follow their IG to find out what weekly flavours they're serving! My favourites have been Raspberry Cream and Creme Brûlée, pictured is Creme Brûlée and Strawberry Cream. read more

I've been trying to try them for a while now but they're always so packed. Well I guess God wanted me to try them out because today, they didn't have a long line. I bought the last two donuts before they sold out. I purchased the salted caramel donut. It was really tasty. I do think the creme was a bit much. I almost think they can get away with less creme on the inside or options with no creme at all. Overall, they were good. I'm sad I won't be trying the creme brûlée donut they have but I'm sure it's amazing! I definitely say if you have a sweet tooth - go here! read more

The hype is worth it. Everything bagel donut blew my mind. I could have eaten two (not because they weren't filling, but because they were THAT good). I also loved the bear fog oolong oat milk with burnt honey tea drink. I wanna go back ASAP and try the creme brûlée donut and specialty flavors. Just wish these were easier to get my hands on! read more

The Flour Box - Everything bagel donut - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The Flour Box was our first stop when we landed. I've been to Seattle multiple times, but haven't tried this place. The fillings for the donuts change almost every two weeks and is posted on their Instagram. The donuts sold out in less than 1.5 hours from opening. Waited about 15-20 mins, not bad given it was a Friday. Very good donuts, doesn't have that fried oil taste after eating it. The red bean was my favorite, very under rated flavor if you haven't tried red bean before. The name may sound off putting, but it's a staple in Japanese mochi and Chinese desserts. The sweet taro was my second favorite, it's a starchy texture. The jasmine milk tea has a floral taste to it, very similar to the drink. The matcha has that traditional nutty flavor. Wasn't a big fan of the jasmine milk tea or the matcha, but still nice to try it out. Their chocolate chip toffee cookie and salted brownie was amazing! The cookie was crisp on the edges and soft/chewy in the middle. The brownie was moist in the inside and the salt really balanced the sweetness out. Overall great place! My group was the last to try all flavors. Jasmine milk tea sold out first, then sweet taro! I wished I got more of the red bean! read more

This bakery definitely knows what it's doing, the line is always our the door and down the sidewalk so I had to see what it was all about. The prices are really steep and the flavors are very unique. These are boujee donuts for sure. I almost felt like there was too much filling in each donut. Im glad I tried it to see what the hype is about but I had my fill and don't feel the need to come back. read more

Amazing donuts. Would recommend coming a little earlier because lines do get very long especially on weekends but if you're looking for something to drink then they wont run out fast. Nice little parking area and dining area as well. read more

Came here Thursday 10am and there was already a line down the block. Finally got my donuts at 10:40. The line was actually shorter than when I first got there. Maybe I should've came at 9:45 or even 11. But the donuts were well worth the wait. The two of us devoured these donuts in less than 2 days. Honestly, we could've finished the whole box in one sitting but we restrained ourselves. The donuts have a nice chewy, soft texture. The fillings aren't too sweet and they are very creative Asian-inspired flavors. I can't wait to see what new flavors they have so we can come back for more! read more

Pre-orders only apply to drinks/coffee... really? Waiting 1hr + for no guarantee of a donut but no option to order in advance excludes a lot of ppl especially those with chronic illness or have busy lives. My niece let me sample a donut and tbh they're good but there are a lot of good bakeries in the area. Maybe if they weren't closed 3 days out of the week they'd have more output? I understand the business is small and the owner cares about her food but what about being thoughtful about your customers? Service isn't the only thing that matters but it does matter. Instead of just promoting food thru IG please do a better job with supply and being transparent with availability with customers in advance. We also live in 2021 during COVID, technology helps reduce the need for physical lines. A small business is still a business and the lack of organization and skill managing that will ultimately overshadow/hurt your food and intent. read more

Believe the hype. The Flour Box is a small bakery handcrafting highly coveted brioche donuts, and cinnamon buns. They operated as a pop up prior to opening this beautiful, aesthetic brick and mortar shop in Hillman City. Check their Instagram @theflourboxseattle for up to date hours and information. I arrived at 8:45am on a Sunday and was first in line for the 10am opening. One hour later, there were over 50 people behind me. Early arrival is recommend, to try the donuts at their freshest. Limit 4 per person. Service was friendly and fast, and the owner Pamela was so sweet! I stan! The donuts are sugar dusted, cream filled brioche clouds, that melt in your mouth. Flavors rotate weekly. My favorite was the Black Sesame, whose rich filling was sweet and salty. I also loved the mochi-topped Matcha Cream, which had intense green tea flavor. The flavors of the Maja Blanca and Hojicha were more subtle, but delicious in their own right. Be sure to get a cinnamon roll, and specialty drink as well. The soft, cinnamon scented milk bread was slathered in silky smooth cream cheese icing. The Alpine Brew was also extraordinary. Perfectly pulled espresso, and their own rosemary/sage/vanilla bean syrup, which had a subtle pine tree flavor. An absolute must in Seattle. read more

I've wanted to check out The Flour Box since I first heard of them and they were only doing pop-ups. I finally got a chance to stop by and it was wonderful. I will say that you should plan to go early (especially on nice days), because the line gets long pretty quick. I got there on a Friday, 8 mins after they opened, and the line outside of the building was pretty long. I hear that it's not as bad on rainy days so just keep that in mind. I loved the doughnuts and can't wait to try next month's flavors. read more

This place is great for anyone who's a fan of filled donuts. We enjoyed every item that we ordered - a chocolate tahini donut, a smoked salmon (savory) donut, and a sizeable cinnamon roll. Coffee was good, too (Anchorhead beans). The staff are friendly and the seating areas are plentiful. So, why the 3 stars? Well, unfortunately we found not 1, but 2 hairs in the salmon donut. It seems hairnets are not required in the kitchen. But if the cooks at Waffle House can wear them, gourmet donut bakers certainly should, too. read more

Well worth the wait! If you have an hour to spare Thursday-Sunday go and get some donuts and try the cinnamon cold brew! read more

Finally had the opportunity to try out these donuts I've been hearing about and was not disappointed! The line was fairly long when I came, but the wait wasn't too long. I think the nice weather and all the friendly dogs helped with that. I got one of each flavor (a total of 4) and a small cup of iced house-mulled apple cider. All the donuts had a good portion of cream inside and the donut itself being fluffy with a generous coating of sugar all around. The apple cider was surprisingly my favorite thing though. It's made with local washington apples, navel oranges and a hint of cinnamon. Definitely had a unique taste thanks to the orange and the cinammon wasn't too strong since I got it iced. My friend who doesn't like cinnamon very much tried it and ended up wishing she ordered a cup herself. Service was fast and friendly, with everything being ready in just a couple minutes. read more

Locate in the south part of the central district. Staff was friendly. Great patio seating. Parking available. Great doughnuts

Just picked up my Kickstarter reward and these donuts lived up to the hype! My faves I'll be going back for are 1) creme brulee 2) everything bagel... Looking forward to when this place isn't only doing pre-orders. Just after reading the other reviews and hearing about similar frustrations that other customers have regarding pre-orders, I must say that I totally understand but sympathize with the owner. I'm sure she must be a little run down at this point. Seeing her instagram posts, shes worked very hard trying to get the building cleaned up and ready, as well as fulfilling Kickstarter rewards, and balancing that with making a profit. read more

Finally getting to experience what the hype is all about after a failed first attempt. If you're interested in trying the donuts please be prepared to come early and wait in line (I would suggest anywhere from 8:30am) my friends and I did not realize how long the line gets and we arrived ten minutes prior to opening and we got the last donut which we all shared LOL! The second time we were more prepared and got to not only try the donuts but also the drinks! We all enjoyed our hot coffee's especially after waiting in the cold! Now the donuts are good, however If you're not into sweets like me it may be a lot! Some flavors are definitely sweeter than others, so you really have to taste test to find the one! Now the ambiance is obviously aesthetically pleasing and truly a comfortable space for toms of people to be in! So my four star rating comes due to the customer service - it was good just not necessarily helpful especially when there was only one donut left, as we looked at the staff clueless they expected us to know what's next? It would have been nice to know cookies would go on sale soon and directed towards the coffee menu.. instead all the people in line were helping one another figure out what to do! read more

I don't know how I got so lucky but I went here on a Thursday around 11am and it was raining so the line was pretty short! I got to that front of the line and everything was still in stock! I'm not lying to you when I say the KIMCHI EVERYTHING was EVERYTHING and then some! At first I was like, oh that flavor is so weird, it's a donut shop and then when I tried it wow I was so wrong! Turned out to be the best one! If they ever bring back this flavor I would buy 10 of them! (Or whatever the max is haha). My second favorite flavor was coconut kaya! It was not too sweet and I loved the flavor combo. The donut itself is so fluffy and airy, doesn't feel heavy at all! read more

I placed an order on Wednesday 5/5 for pick up on 5/7. Went there and got my order with no problems and went back home to eat it later at night. When I finally open the order box, I notice that I'm missing a donut(I ordered two jasmine tea and 2 creme Brulee and one cinnamon roll). One of the jasmine tea donuts was not there. So I email them at flourboxseattle@gmail.com that same day. A week goes by and no response. I figure okay, maybe they're really busy so I send another email to follow up. Now it's been two weeks and still no reply. The donuts taste good but not good enough to warrant poor customer service.. read more

Light, fluffy brioche doughnut coated in sugar and filled with just the right amount of custard. These donuts are reminiscent of malasadas with the contrast of pillowy dough to the crunch of sugar PLUS creamy filling. The standards here are a savory ~everything bagel~ and sweet ~creme brulee~ with caramelized top. This week's rotating flavors were coconut kaya (pictured here) and vietnamese coffee. Looking to try all the flavors (past included matcha and thai tea), but the coconut kaya was well balanced and not too sweet or coconutty--just a trot of coconut rounded out with a well-pronounced pandan flavor. The space is also gorgeous with a minimalist/modern/organic feel. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating with natural light flooding in from wall to wall windows. For now, pre-orders only so order online for the best donuts ever! #smallbusiness read more

I loved the donuts-- so fresh, and the flavors were fascinating and delicious. Their brownies are amazing, as well as the hot chocolate. But I did have to wait an hour in line to get them, just a word of caution. I showed up at 10:30 AM and the line was probably 50-75 people long. read more

I got here at 11:00 a.m. on a Saturday. The line took about an hour to get through, and I got the very last cinnamon roll. It was super soft, and there was a really nice high-quality taste to the vanilla cream cheese frosting. The texture of the creme brulee donut was pretty unique. It was a bit more dense than General Porpoise. The burnt sugar on top was kind of bitter. The custard filling was more like bland pudding. I didn't really enjoy having pudding in my donut. I might have liked one of the ones with whipped filling more. read more

As far as I can tell this place is some kind of joke. If someone was stupid enough to go thought this ridiculous process (TRY to order two days in advance for lunch doughnuts you still have to wait in line 30 minutes to pick up) I question their judgment and don't trust they have the mental capacity to leave a legitimate review. It's just a fucking doughnut calm the fuck down! read more

We got there about 8:10 am on a Saturday and were the first people in line. We also got a parking spot, which was nice. People started arriving soon after (within 10 min). By the time the doors opened, the line was wrapped around the corner. They put water out for people waiting, which was thoughtful. We ordered one donut of each flavor and each was very well executed. We brought chairs and just chatted the whole time, which was enjoyable. I will be back! read more

I have been trying to order donuts from this place for the past 3 months and believe it or not, I couldn't. They say that you have to preorder online. However, the donuts and cinnamon rolls are never available to preorder. I am even willing to preorder a week ahead if I have to. If you reach out and send them a message, no one will respond and no phone number to call. I mean how to you expect to open a business with out being transparent. I have no idea how they are getting all these good reviews and how all these people got a hold of the donuts or cinnamon rolls. read more

Not a donut person, got in line around 9:30 anticipating 10am opening. Well worth the wait! Loved all 4 flavors for this week, tapioca and yuza were probably my favorite but liked them all. Very fluffy, not greasy or dense like most places. Fillings were very light and not too sweet. Drinks were mediocre, have had better. Brownie was nothing special, would probably not order again and cookie was very good, a bit of crunch on edges with a soft center. read more

Amazing flavor combinations and the cool thing is that they change the menu so frequently you can keep visiting and always have something new to enjoy! The cinnamon rolls were out of this world and are usually consistent to their menu. I also got a latte while I waited in line and wow there was no shortage of quality there!
