They have a rather small doughnut selection. Their chai lattes taste like water. The doughnuts are ok, the frosting is a little too sweet for my liking. *The workers will give you a smart response if you ask them about their doughnut flavors. #Jerkface read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Would give 0 STARS Don't go here. Find a different spot. The staff are completely RUDE. We are from California and have been told to try this place for their donuts. We got there 5 minutes till closing I understand their not going to have a great selection but right when we walked in the guy working rudely said "we're closing in 5 minutes" and didn't care when we mentioned we were from out of town and asked what is good there. First strike. Then my brother tries to order a coffee and the guy proceeds to rudely say "oh 2 minutes left and we're out all we have is drip coffee" strike 2. After he orders the coffee the guy goes to throw away all the donuts left. Don't you think that you'd want to sell EVERYTHING you have left.?? I've worked in retail for 8 years and I would never treat a customer the way he did. I also have worked with patients that come in last minute before we're closing and still don't treat them the way this man did. SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS BUT NOT THIS PLACE! Ps coffee was mediocre and donuts were good but you can find the same at any other local place. read more

The 16th store of this famous local doughnut chain doesn't miss a mark with its identity as a chic, modern doughnut shop with excellent "hand-forged" doughnuts and high quality, sustainable coffee. The store itself is located on the elevated walkway that connects the ferry terminal to the intersection of 1st Ave and Marion. It can also be accessed by stairs from Western Ave, which is probably your best bet for parking. This store doesn't have a kitchen so I assume they get all their doughnuts from the flagship store up on 5th Ave, but this doesn't take away from the freshness they strive for. Their maple bar has notoriety thanks to Golden Tate, but I find myself enjoying the large variety of cake doughnuts they offer. My absolute favorite is the maple frosted cake doughnut. Pair it with a cup of el presidente coffee and I'm ready for that 35 minute ferry ride to Bainbridge! As a daily ferry commuter, this place will undoubtedly earn a lot of my business. read more

I stumbled into this Top Pot for a meeting yesterday and let me say WOW this location is so cute! It's small and intimate, and it's actually right above an apartment building. I like how you can see a bunch of brick outside of their huge windows and you can also see giant string lights too. It makes you feel very "Seattle" being here - especially if you have some coffee. Unfortunately, ya girl is trying to be better about what she eats, so I didn't have any donuts (I just smelled the air and pretended like I was gonna eat one) but I did have a vanilla latte. The latte was smooth and the coffee tasted great - no burnt shots like some of our other Seattle coffee joints. ;) Service was great as well, the cashier that I had was very nice and funny for the two seconds that I interacted with him. If I'm back in the area, I'll definitely come back. This is an awesome spot for meeting up with someone, getting work done, or just having to swing in for a coffee. read more

Came in Saturday, June 21. Was greeted by two staff employees. Considering I was from out of town, they had a lot of patience; I took awhile to pick a dozen donuts. The donuts smelled fresh and the store was so clean! I loved Bavarian creme donut! I'll be taking these back to San Diego, CA. read more

I stopped by this Top Pot location because it was on the walk back from the ferry terminal to the parking garage. Stay on the pedestrian walkway bridge and you will hit the front door. It was later in the evening so there weren't too many options left. I got the salted caramel cake donut and it was good. I'll have to try other flavors the next time I'm in town to believe the hype. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Salted caramel - Donuts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I am in so much trouble. It was so much easier to resist Top Pot when there wasn't one right in my face. I already knew about their cake doughnuts with the marvelous slightly crunchy shell and soft, thick, sweet dough inside. Their rotating choice of unique flavours, from lemon cake (yum) to caramel chocolate (oh gods) and much more in between. Their friendly, patient workers who will wait while I salivate over each and every confection in the very attractive display case. And let's not forget their incredible, huge, irresistible apple fritters - some of the best I've ever had, anywhere. I do wish they had a larger selection of drinks to go with the sweet delights - their coffee is quite good and there's Pellegrino and other flavoured waters to be had as well. But I'm a simple guy. When I'm spoiling myself with a doughnut (or two), I like to go all the way and have a soda with it. Is it to much to ask to have some Pepsi or Coke on tap, or even in bottles? I'd go for it if they did. Drink selection aside, the doughnuts are fantastic and well worth it. If you're getting onto or off of the Seattle ferry, give yourself a few extra minutes and stop in - you'll thank yourself. As for me, I take the ferry just about every day, and now I have to pass this place often. I am definitely in trouble. read more

Your ordinary donut shop. They sell coffee, tea, baked goods, & clothing. I like the ambiance of the place; it's really inviting & huge. It's not stuffy at all. I ordered... THE TOP DOT DOUGHNUT: It was a bit too sweet for my liking but once I took some of the frosting off it was really good! It was $1.09 which is a little too pricey for a doughnut in my opinion. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The guy that took my order was friendly. He was patient with my friend & I because we're super indecisive lol. read more

What else is there to say aside from these donuts are delectable :) A friend and I were adventuring the day after a conference and decided to go to here because a few friends suggested it. They said it was the Dunkin of the west but I completely disagree. These donuts, at least the ones that we got were definitely the star of the show, unlike Dunkin. We got 6 donuts and I happily devoured the Bavarian cream and the raspberry bullseye :) aside from the donut coma, I have nothing but good things to say about the donuts, staff, and location. read more

I overall loved this place, the donuts are very good and cakey, the drinks are made well and it has a good atmosphere for studiers. My order was the pink sprinkle donut and a hot chocolat. The only thing I would say I dislike about this place is that the workers seem to be judgmental, which kind of made me feel uncomfortable. I would go back here if I was in the Seattle area again. read more

Stopped in for an Ovaltine Latte and a couple donuts. We came in the afternoon, so the selection was poor, but I was pleasantly surprised by the latte. We even bought some Ovaltine when we got home from our Seattle vacation, trying to recreate it. The donut was good, but we weren't able to get anything special, just a plain old fashioned. The more original flavors sounded good, but alas, I'll never know. read more

Great donut shop close by water. Large seating areas and stroller friendly. Large windows to look outside but view is not great. Maple bar was outstanding. The caramel old fashioned was good. However the frosting was very different. It was like a thick cake frosting. Not hard glazed like old fashioned normally are. Very good though. Good selection of drinks. Healthy options too. Highly recommend on early morning before heading to waterfront. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Maple Bar and Caramel Old Fashion - Donuts Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A hip little donut shop. The donuts all looked neat and pretty, but they weren't the best I'd ever had. I tried the pink rainbow donut, a cake donut. (Donuts with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles are just adorable, wouldn't you agree?) I also tried some of my sister's ovaltine cream filled donut which was a yeast donut. I've had seriously incredible cake and yeast donuts and both of these were just meh. My loyalty still lies with my tried and true donut establishments of the East coast. read more

This compared to the first Top pot we went to was alot different. The first one was more of a doughnut counter. This location had more of a like "starbucks" feel with the regular wooden table .. chairs and ac. It was definetely a comfortable place to hang out but the staff was kind of cold and not very helpful. The coffee was ok and their doughnuts were good! A welcome option to starbucks. read more

This place has amazing donuts. I was there in the morning before heading off to the ferry, and they had a variety of donuts to choose from. Picked the pumpkin with the chocolate glaze, and it was soooooo delicious. No regrets. Staff was really friendly and happy to provide directions. No qualms, definitely go if you are in Seattle. read more

Great service and great donuts! Sweet view as well! A bit hard to find but once you do, it is worth the time it took to find it! Also, they make seasonal donuts so make sure to ask for what is made with fresh ingredients! read more

We came by for donuts and to try some coffee other than Starbucks. I would say both the coffee and donuts were average but the staff was nice, the place is clean, and the huge windows are pretty cool. If you have been warn out by the bucks it's about the same quality and a mix of pace. Cheers! read more

This store opened not too far from my job, so if I gain a few pounds, and my heart becomes elevated over the next few months, you know why. My stomach was like, "doughnut!". My belly (the part around your stomach) was like, "apple." But then I remembered, I am a Yelper--I have to go in the name of research. The things I do for science. *Sigh* and no Nobel Prize yet. If you've been to Top Pots, this location has the usual spread of doughnuts. If you've never been--go. In the name of science, of course. I never enjoyed old fashioned doughnuts until this establishment. It's a nice combination of crusty, and soft with just the right amount of sweetness. As the previous reviewer mentioned, the establishment is chic. The decorum is industrial, clean lines. read more

There's a girl killing fruit flies with a handheld bug zapper inside the pastry case while the food is still in there. It sounds like a fireworks show in here. Tossing the donut I just bought. read more

There is only a single time in life in which I have not regretted eating two donuts in one sitting. And this was it. How do I put into words the sweet freshness and creaminess of these donuts? The perfectly glazed old fashioned and the Easter donut live on in my heart forever. Oh my gosh, these are not your everyday donuts. I would say that I wish that they'd open a shop in LA, but if that were to happen, I'd almost instantly develop diabetes. Any semblance of self control I had before walking into a Top Pot is long gone once I'm at the register. I don't know what kind of donut snob you'd have to be to give this anything less than 5 stars. read more

My old fashioned donut was great. I mean they always are, but here the dough was somehow even richer. Which is wild considering donuts are just fried bread. read more

What an excellent location for a coffee (and doughnut) shop. It's tempting to stop by on every ferry commute! The maple bars are excellent (they have an extensive selection of doughnuts, so it was difficult to choose), and the coffee okay. What is best about Top Pot is the ambiance: with its large windows and brick building backdrop, it's the perfect setting for working or getting lost in a good book. read more

Great spot for an Americano and a treat. Close to the great ferry wheel. Quiet place to spend a weekend but I'm sure it's rocking on the weekdays based on the location. Get the 16 oz. coffee, it's the same price as 12 oz. Doughnut was a ok, but good selections here. read more

Meh For all the hype, it wasn't impressive. The icing on lemon cake donut was tasty but the apple fritters were just ok. read more

Secluded location away from hustle and bustle of 1st avenue crowds. Doughnuts are pretty run of the mill, coffee is pretty good.. granted all we got was the drip coffee. But it was good to sip the donuts in there :) most of the points go toward location for this spot. Great if you need a place to rest your feet after shopping or pikes. Customer service a little lacking. read more

I'm an out-of-towner...born Floridian, who's always on the search for great local donuts. By far one of the BEST donuts ever! Had their raspberry & lemon & original glazed, well let's just say my mouth is still watering as I write this. Definitely going back when I visit again! read more

My favorite doughnut place in the city. They serve up a great selection of doughnuts and cafe beverages. This location is directly off the ferry and provides a place place to grab and go for that morning joe and snack. Who can resist a hand-forged doughnut in the morning! read more

When have you ever eaten a donut 24 hours after you bought it and it was still just as fresh as the minute you bought it? My guess is never. But that is exactly what happened with the donuts we got from Top Pot. We were visiting Seattle and searching for something that we could take with us on an early morning train to Vancouver. We grabbed 1/2 dozen and every bite was absolutely delicious! If you're in Seattle, I recommend you stop in. And for the record, although you may not care, I hardly ever eat donuts because they are just Casey grease balls, but these were delish. read more

The donuts are great goes with out saying, but it's also the people that are wonderful as well. They made my day. I'd gone in for a few donuts and came out with about 5 dozen. I was getting them for the crew of my sons ship and they donates them. Way cool. Than you. read more

My first time at Top Pot, when I ordered my coffee it was a iced Irish cream cold brew, And it tasted like spoiled milk. So I told the barista and she apologized and offered to make me a new drink and upped my size and I didn't have to pay. She was really sweet and nice doing that for me. I love the kindness of this place :) read more

Everything you could ever ask for. Great service. Delicious doughnuts. Amazing coffee. Convenient location right next to the ferry. Plenty of space to sit down and work or relax. Good music. Perfect place to conduct business or just sit back and ponder your thoughts. Shoutout to Sydni and Metree you two made my morning. Thinking the Top Pot on Western might just be my new go-to coffee spot. Thank you guys! read more

A Seattle institution, and in such a great location. Make it easy on yourself and the rest of the line--get a dozen to bring into the office. Things can be a little pricey, but supporting a local business and staff feels like the right thing to do. Lines almost out the door on Friday AMs are the norm, but it tends to be a lot thinner on the rest of the weekdays. Highly recommend. read more

I've heard some buzz about these donuts from Seattle folks and I've seen many people walking to work with boxes of these donuts, and, I've finally had opportunity to try them. Apparently, the best time to go in for donuts are early in the morning cause when we went there were only a handful of donuts in the case to pick from. We were greeted by the very friendly gentleman who told us that mornings are the best times to visit for the best selection. He was helpful in sharing his reccos so we picked a couple random donuts. The other workers also greeted us with a smile which is appreciated. They were pretty good but didn't live up to the hype! This location is nice, bright and clean so I would likely visit again. read more

This Top Pot location connects directly from the ferry terminal by way of the overpass . So if you are just arriving into Seattle or leaving to catch the boat, you can drop in and get a quick snack! If you're not coming to/from the ferry, the store is a little harder to spot because it is on the 2nd(or 3rd) floor of a not too noticable/industrial looking builiding...however, if you are lazy you can take an elevator up! Ha! Anyways...at 3pm on a Sunday the food selection is not very good. They had about 5 different flavors of their donuts and 2 different types of scones. The donuts we had were cold and super dense, but they were still tasty. If you like the thick, heavy, cakey type of donuts then you'll probably love this place. Aside from the baked goods they also offered ice cream and various coffee drinks. I definitely think Top Pot is built off of hype! It's good, but not amazing. Solid 3 stars! read more

I've heard tons of good stuff about Top Pot and I knew I wanted to get donuts before we headed out to Ikea today. They were pretty amazing. My love and I shared three (we probably would have been fine sharing two because they were really good sized donuts) we got the lemon glazed old fashioned, salted caramel glazed old fashioned and their cherry glazed cherry blossom. All of the donuts had really good, really distinct flavors. Definitely liked that the cherry blossom had cherries baked in. read more

I was visiting from SF and went out for breakfast with my cousin and godson (who live here in Seattle). I decided to grab a dozen doughnuts for the rest of the kids at home who were probably still snoozing the rest of the morning hours. I got a few sprinkles, bars, glazed, chocolates, and cinnamon twist. I figured they can all pick and choose which they want to try when they wake up. I tried a little piece of the cinnamon twist, chocolate bars, glazed raised, and the double chocolate. (Sorry, I didn't get the official names of each item). The cinnamon twist tasted something like a donut but the texture was more like a cinnamon bun. I would assume it's made fresh. But it wasn't as fluffy as I would expect it to be. The raised glazed donut was more like it was made the night before. I figured that it would be nice, warm and fluffy. But I was a bit unsatisfied. I moved into the chocolate bar and that's the texture I was looking for. The airy and soft donut. The glaze was pretty good too. Not too sweet and a good balance of chocolate. Overall, they were OK. They're not spectacular, but not bad. Not memorable for me to want to go back there again whenever I visit Seattle. read more

Trinity and nate the most awesomess workers top pot has. On my way back home to Bremerton from a days in Seattle Christmas shopping.

Love this location because it's very close to my work place. Good place to have a small meeting or gathering since they have a great amount of seating.

This place is not Starbucks so there isn't going to be a catalog of coffee drink options. My husband had the iced ovaltine latte - he loved it, it wasn't my favorite. I had an iced vanilla latte - smooth, not bitter, not too sweet. The huge apple fritter tasted amazing. The barista was nice and efficient. The chair legs and table legs make an atrocious noise when scraped across the floor, worse than nails on a chalk board. read more
