Top Pot is exactly the kind of morning-after-wedding stop you want: easy, comforting, and reliably good when everyone's running on coffee and leftover celebration energy. The donuts are classic and fresh, with standouts like the maple bar, raised donuts, and old-fashioned cakes, and the coffee is a solid bonus for a group that needs to come back to life fast. The vibe is casual and welcoming, with enough seating at some locations to gather the crew without feeling rushed, which makes it a great fit for post-wedding recovery mode. If you want something festive but low-key after the big night, Top Pot hits the sweet spot. read more

I've been a fan of Top Pot for years. I haven't been here for more than 5 years though since I stopped working downtown. I had a Sugared Raspberry Donut. It's so light. I love how the raspberry jam counters the sweetness of the donut. It's very light. It's perfect with a hot cup of coffee. Love this cafe on 5th Avenue. It's very airy, with a nice loft. Love the look of the floor to ceiling shelves filled with books. Music is nice, not too loud. Service is friendly. read more

Got a doughnut and an iced golden latte after work since I was craving a sweet treat. 10/10. Love the inside. Service was good- one person stepped out to take care of somethng else so took about 10 minutes and there were only 2 people in front of me. Regardless, I'd come again. The only thing was there was a person outside asking for money but he seemed pretty friendly when I said not at this time, but he was sitting right next to the door pretty close. Ambiance- many people inside working and having conversations read more

Ok so after my second time at this shop I can say I feel better about my options. The store had more donuts so we were able to try more than just donut holes. I got a chocolate cake and also an old fashioned. The old fashioned was so by far one of the best in a long time, how ever the cake donut was so dry we couldn't eat it. So I guess it all depends on the donut? We got a latte and a frozen coffee the latte was good and the frozen was eh. It wasn't very strong. Since this was the second time giving them I chance I wouldn't go back a third. read more

I was sold as soon as I saw the stock photo of their pot holes, which are basically an assortment of mini donut holes! I love me a variety but can never finish too many donuts at once, so the pot holes are perfect. We did come closer to their closing time, so we were actually scared that they were going to be out of them, but thankfully they were not. That said, they weren't as fresh as they could be, but they were still delicious. We also got their Vietnamese style cold brew, which wasn't too shabby. The 2-story floor to ceiling book wall is stunning and gave me nostalgic memories of my college library. There were plenty of tables upstairs with outlets. read more

The coffee and donuts are so good. You guys should try this place. It's very very good and there's nothing wrong with the place is the perfect place to chill and relax when you're about to go to an event or when you're about to go to a Mariners game or Seahawk game. read more

The caramel latte I ordered was fine however the customer service at this location needs a major improvement. I was trying to figure out how to scan my points on the app and the barista dismissively and rudely said she didn't know how to help me. Never going back to this location again and I don't recommend you go to this TP location. read more

Visiting Seattle I stopped by here for some morning coffee and donuts. The service was fast and good. The spot has an upstairs and downstairs area, full seating. I would recommend this place when in the area. read more

How many donuts did I eat this weekend? Umm....I plead the fifth? =P Top Pot is one of Seattle's OG donut institutions, I recall picking up donuts at this exact location many years ago when visiting. Back then, my friend had raved about their donuts and when I walked by this weekend having just gotten Oh Mochi donuts the day before, my eyes were of course larger than my stomach, so I couldn't say no. This store is spacious for a donut shop and cafe, high ceilings, lots of seating - maybe enough for two dozen people between first and mezzanine floors. Classic-American-diner-meets-cozy-study vibe, the full length two story windows let in plenty of sunlight, wooden bookcases extend almost the ceiling, stretching out the height of the room even more. Donuts: they have such a variety! I counted around 25 different kinds shown in their enticing glass donut display. I went with a chocolate glazed raised (yeast style) and a plain old fashioned, because the latter to me is a signifier of a quality donut shop--can't go wrong if they get the basics right. Found the plain old fashioned $3.10 to be a touch softer on the exterior than I would'd prefer, though not bad, I'm used to a little more crisp and slight browner color. The chocolate glazed raised $3.60 (yeast donut) was perfect, they found the golden frosting to donut ratio! The donut was pillowy and reminded me of fresh yeast donuts from Doughnut Plant and Dough Donuts in NYC, really huge too. You really can't beat their prices for fresh donuts, they've managed to keep it affordable for $18.95/half dozen, $30.95/dozen. I will say their donuts lean towards the sweeter side, many are glazed all-over. I asked the staff which ones were the least sweet and the plain old fashioned topped the list. They've grown over the years to become a popular local chain for a reason, with several locations in the greater Seattle metro area. Street, lot or structure parking is available nearby. Public transportation via bus or downtown monorail is available. Walking distance to many downtown Seattle attractions. Would recommend if you're in the area! read more

Visiting Top Pot was one of my favorite parts of my most recent trip to Seattle. I'm grateful this location was right across the street from the hotel I was staying at. I love the cozy ambiance with the books on the walls. There was plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs so finding a table was easy. Sometimes the line was long, especially on the weekends, but it usually moved fairly quickly. I visited multiple times during my stay and tried a variety of sweet and savory pastries. My favorite was the maple blueberry donut, one of their seasonal offerings. I loved the flavor and the texture of the donut. The drinks were also great. The espresso was smooth and not bitter. Waiting for espresso drinks can take a while but since I wasn't in a hurry I didn't mind. I would definitely love to visit again next time I'm in Seattle! read more

Classic and reliable donuts in downtown Seattle and around the greater Seattle area. They have reliably delicious maple donut and don't miss out on their seasonal flavors. Another all time fave is the chocolate raspberry. At this location, the line was particularly long though it moved quickly. This spot is in an old car garage and is fit with a swanky ambiance including floor to ceiling bookshelves and a vintage tv. read more

Stumbled upon this location while walking to visit The Spheres. Lots of donut choices at 4pm on a Saturday. Got a bag of donut holes. There were 8 delicious varieties of holes. Also got a glazed chocolate donut. First time back in 15 years and they were just as yummy as I had remembered. A bit too much sugar to order a Vietnamese coffee so I'll have to come back for that. Service was nice and attentive. Very friendly and welcoming. Nice quiet place to sit and chill and enjoy an afternoon treat. Nice chill ambiance. Located along the monorail track. Close to The Spheres and Ferris wheel. read more

Vibe inside is so cute - large bookshelves, chalk board menu, so cute. Donuts look incredible although I just got a latte. Plenty of syrups and milks to chose from, quick service. Barista wasn't super friendly when I asked for more cream. Espresso tastes super fresh. Would recommend giving them a try !! read more

I stopped into this location for a meetup with The Beauty Boost Seattle and was pleasantly surprised at how cool it was inside. You walk in & there's floor to ceiling books. Its a really clean location and the donuts were delicious and we got a huge jug of black coffee with cream/sugar. The coffee was good too. I didn't interact with staff but they kept the line moving and no one had any outbursts being in the city limits that's the true test of customer service. read more

The lady who helped us was completely rude. She was sweet when we walked in but because I ask for the chocolate and not the double trouble she acted completely out of packet and said in the dumbest voice "yeah what chocolate!?" While she threw her hands in the air, as if I'm the only customer whoever came into her donut shop and asked for a chocolate doughnut. I honestly don't even wanna try the doughnut and the fact that I had to leave a tip to complete the purchase was kind of outrageous. There was nothing bypassing that. Nothing I hate more than rude people dealing a person who just wants a chocolate doughnut. Seems like there anal on how call there chocolate donuts. And before you ask, there was two chocolate donuts on the shelf I was pointing to one was on the far left one was on the far right I was pointing to the run on the far left. Don't know where the confusion was on her end. Literally have never had this issue ordering a chocolate doughnut. read more

I happened upon Top Pot on a Saturday morning stroll and am so glad I did! The line was long enough to know I'd found a gem, but it moved quickly and it gave me time to take in the uniqueness of the atmosphere. I ordered an apple fritter and maple glazed old fashioned, both of which were delicious! I did ask server for recommendations when making my selections and I felt like she steered me in the right direction. They do seasonal apple fritters so be sure to check out which one is in the rotation when you visit! read more

Absolutely LOVE Top Pot Doughnuts. We went here every morning for a cup of coffee, a doughnut and their amazing hand pies. Would highly recommend the apple fritter and the maple doughnuts. The coffee was amazing and they had plenty of options. They also had a few tea options that were nice for a cold winter day. The environment is lively but also a great place to relax and get some work done. Overall would highly recommend! read more

My friend visiting seattle requested to stop at Top Pot. I ordered a maple bat, it was good. It was not dry but not as fresh like the old day. They baked them somewhere else and delivered them now. We still enjoyed our donuts and our time inside the shop. Two stores, many small tables and seats. Parking was good since it was Sunday, many spots on the street. Service was good, he was by himself, but didn't wait too long. read more

Superb doughnut shop in Belltown - amazing ambience, friendly and efficient service, and donuts to die for! Our teen and I stopped by early this morning for a coffee and donut run - we bought lattes and a dozen assorted doughnuts for a little over $40. Our favorite were the lemon cruller, the cream-filled Bavarian, chocolate glazed, the bullseye, and the blueberry fritter. Least favorite were the caramel cruller (cloyingly sweet), Oreo (lacked flavor and moisture) and Sprinkle (also dry). Matcha latte was adequate and the peppermint mocha good but not "pepperminty" enough. Will be back! read more

Top pot donuts is a great place to go for donuts. I prefer going when they are still warm at the beginning of the morning. The service is pretty good. Everyone is attentive and kind. The ambience is fun for a donut shop at the end of the day I much prefer to support a smaller business, but this is a good larger base business as well. I definitely prefer hot pot over Krispy Kreme, but that's just my opinion. Go check it out and see what you can find you like. read more

This Top Pot location was everything! Conveniently right next to our Airbnb, it became a favorite during our stay. The service was great, and the doughnuts were fresh and absolutely deLISH!! We loved sitting by the big windows, enjoying our tasty treats while watching the world go by. A simple yet perfect experience--highly recommend! read more

Kept hearing about this place so stopped by impromptu around noon. Maybe it was too late for fresh donuts? Because they were a bit dry and hard and not very fresh, although I've had end of the day donuts sitting at home from other places that aren't as hard as this. Got the glazed twist and it had a bit of cinnamon flavor which I wasn't a fan of. It was a bit dry and not fluffy. Got the strawberry fritter and flavor was really good but dang was that thing hard, dense, and chewy... read more

This is such a cool doughnut shop. High ceilings. Books all around. And most importantly, awesome doughnuts. Our family shared a half dozen. They were all excellent, but my favorite was (as usual) the glazed. In sum, Top Pot is definitely worthy of top marks. read more

Cute place. Two levels so seating is not an issue. Staff was knowledgeable and in good spirits. I had a donut stick and wife had a jelly donut. We were both happy with our selections.

Happy 22nd anniversary! We were excited to meet Top Pot's CEO, Mark, at the original SLU location with free donuts, coffee (a glimpse of their new opal Vietnamese cold brew coming soon!), and free mugs! There is also a raffle for gift cards, tshirts, and beanies. The staff hosting the event were very friendly and helpful. Every flavor of donut I tried was delicious and I loved the cute Valentine's Day themed one with heart sprinkles. I like that almost every flavor of donut was recreated in donut hole form because it means I can try more flavors! :) This location is a great spot for your everyday coffee and donut, or a chill spot to work and study. For a donut shop, they also offer a decent selection of fun speciality drinks on their menu. The stairs lounge has ample seating, outlets, and free wifi. The shop is well stocked with a self serve water fountain, perfect for your extended cafe stay. read more

slowest baristas in the west. Disorganized and lose your drinks. avoid if you want coffee pretty darn good donuts though read more

We went in the early afternoon so maybe that was the problem. None of the doughnuts seemed fresh, all were kind of stale Glazed doughnut: probably the best of what we got. Not light and airy like a usual yeasted doughnut, kind of dense. This wasn't a big deal for me since I like cakey doughnuts anyway Old fashioned doughnut: man this was disappointing. Dry, dense, and flavorless. Blueberry fritter; super chewy for some reason, seemed pretty stale Nice staff but underwhelming doughnuts read more

I ordered a dozen doughnuts from Top Pot through the phone, and they were very responsive and easy to work with. Upon picking them up the next day, they eveeven offered me a cup of coffee on the house because they were running a bit behind on prepping. My first impression of the doughnuts was that they are HUGE. The doughnuts may be expensive, but I was barely able to finish a single doughnuts on my own - i think a half dozen doughnuts would have been sufficient for my team of ~10. However, I did think that their doughnuts are a bit too sweet for my taste, even for doughnuts. Usually I like enjoying the tasty doughy-ness, but for these doughnuts all I really got was sweet, sweet, sweet. Overall, I'd probably come back here - but I am definitely searching for a place that better fits my taste in doughnuts. read more

This is their flagship store and I was drawn to this place today as they had the 22nd anniversary event with the founder Mark. I am writing this review based off of what would have costed if you purchased the items, as otherwise, the review will not be fair and technically not allowed to write a review for freebies. The event (not accounted for in the rating) - the event had free mugs and a raffle for either gift cards, a beanie, or a shirt, which is pretty nice. You get to say hi to the founder, who is very down to earth, and then get your free donuts and coffee. You get a choice of donut holes or specific donuts, so I opted for donut holes because of the variety. You also get a free cold brew made in house or their anniversary blend. The latter is hot and sounded more special, but I opted for the cold brew as I enjoy cold brews significantly more. It also seemed like most people go for the cold brew too for some reason, even though it was cold outside. Accounted for in the rating - the donut holes were a bit stale and reminds me of grocery store donuts. I guess with the pricing, they keep prices low so they remain competitive and benefit from a wider range of customers that can easily afford the donuts and coffee. I am basing it off of pickup pricing - a donut hole is a little less than $1, and slightly cheaper if you buy in bulk. They had a variety of donut holes like their limited Valentine's Day ones, maple, glazed, etc, to name a few. The donut holes were packed with sugar and I personally was not able to finish even 2 donut holes before tapping out. I have been to a fair share of donut places and can eat 1 regular donut in a sitting, so they probably might have added too much sugar here. The coffee I got was a cold brew and it was very solid. It definitely is super strong and I would recommend this as a wake-me-up. Overall, the donuts are very okay and I frankly don't see the appeal. It felt a bit too commercialized, but I would not write off this place since lots of corporations love to go here and get donuts, and I do admit I may take a small bite here and there whenever my company gets donuts here, so it is not that low quality, but I would not go out of the way to get a donut here. read more

Doughnuts and books are great companions together :))) I love how this place was set up perfectly, downstairs had the doughnuts in display so beautifully. My mouth was salivating & that's also where you order your coffee. The shop had space downstairs & also a bunch up stairs :) there is also a bathroom located downstairs, which is nicely cleaned! The coffee I chose what caught my eyes was the Ovaltine coffee, which was my childhood in a cup and I paid for with a custard chocolate donut & I was NOT DISAPPOINTED! Delicious! I'd love to come back, just work here and get lost! The location is kind of away from the heart of Downtown Seattle so no craziness and just peacefulness:) I'll keep coming here when I visit:) read more
