Amazing doughnuts! Apple fritter and they had a seasonal fritter(blueberries) and wow!! So fluffy and delicious. Also had a few other and they were great also. Latte was done with a smile and was hot and tasty. read more

A place that I would definitely visit again. I had a dozen donuts and the standout was the Maple Bar. You can smell it across the room

Delicious large donuts. Had the rising chocolate and raspberry donuts. Fluffy and large. Coffee was good too. Cool ambience with a library / retro vibe. read more

Pros: - big space inside for seating and hanging out. Upstairs has lots of open space. I really like the vibe. - The donuts and drinks are good. Cons: - I came here midday when there's many hours of opening and all the donuts were basically sold out. We had 3 donuts to choose from.....maybe during Covid they kept their inventory really low..... Still, good place to go hang and get a coffee. read more

Visually the donut shop is beautiful. The donuts are so perfect, photo ready. We bought an apple fritter beautiful glazed with icing and a chocolate iced classic donut. Unfortunately, the donuts were dry at least 3 days and had no taste. Maybe it was an off day? Maybe not. Hard pass on old hard crunchy donuts! Hint go to a Market Time in Fremont. Fresh, tasty and amazing donuts. Come on Top Pot, you must bake every night. Won't be going back, I do not need to drink a gallon of water after having a donut since they were so dry. read more

Quite possibly just the world okay-EST doughnut. I dunno what the hype is?! Please, do not get me wrong...they weren't bad. I guess from all of the hype and talk I was just expecting something AMAZING. It's really just an okay doughnut. Service was friendly. I can bring my pup too. So that's an added bonus. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Standing out front - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My fiance and I wanted to grab some breakfast and coffee before trekking to Pike's Market in the cold. Since our hotel was conveniently located a block away from Top Pot Doughnuts, we decided to check out the cafe and I loved the spaciousness and trendiness. We got a glazed ring and a raspberry bismark to try. Dough was soft, pillowy, and warm. The glazed ring donut was quite standard, but the raspberry bismark was definitely the highlight for me. Raspberry jam was tart so it did a good job balancing out the sweetness. Overall, I had no complaints because I got my coffee and donuts! Definitely a great way to start the day! read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Front: Rainbow Sprinkle + Back: something Boa? - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Good place to stop for a donut and drink. When we were there it wasn't real busy and easy to get a seat to enjoy everything. Staff is friendly. Donuts are good not a heavy dough type and a good size. read more

Clean, friendly service, and excellent donuts. What more could you ask for?! Conveniently located next door to my AirBnB so I popped in and had a delightful limited edition donut. It was an orange cake with chocolate frosting. I loved it as well as the library feel of the his location. I sat on the second overlook level watching everyone below while I enjoyed my snack. I forgot to take pictures but I'll certainly be back. And update with adventures of my next treat. read more

Super cute inside. They have an upstairs area which is really neat. We tried a few donuts and they were all great. They are pretty dense and yeasty so if you like that in a donut, give them a try. They have lots of variety. The staff is super friendly. The counter girl helped with the decision making. The lemon filled was yummy, but I'd have liked it with more filling. The coconut was my favorite. It was a little lighter and the flavors are great. I didn't try the coffee so I can't speak to their offerings. read more

On our last visit to Seattle, our tour guy recommended this donut place as the best in Seattle. We went there with our son and his wife and splurged on a dozen. We wanted to try them all. The glazed raspberry doughnut was everyone's favorite. It was soft with a good amount of glaze. I loved the old fashioned one. I call them sour cream but I think different regions call them different things. This is also a fun place to look at all of the books on the shelves. The fact that Obama ate here makes it even better! Weird I know read more

Donuts were honestly the worst I've ever tried. Cold, dry and flavorless. We are visiting Seattle and thought we'd stop by. I would not recommend. If you are visiting do not waste your time. read more

Cute coffee and donut shop to work and study from. The donuts were good and we enjoyed the hot olvatine drink.

Just WOW - what an amazing experience for our first morning in Seattle! My wife and I each had an Ovaltine Latte and shared a 6-pack including: Plain Old Fashioned Raspberry Glazed Raised Ring Valley Girl Lemon Bavarian Cream Bismark Maple Bar Apple Fritter Everything was fantastic! As kids of the 70s & 80s, the Ovaltine Latte was a throwback to childhood with the joy of caffeine! The cake donut absolutely stole the show for me. My wife's favorite was the Bavarian Crème. All the filled donuts were filled to capacity! They did not scrimp on filleting (see pictures)! This place had a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It was a joy to enjoy breakfast and people watch as Seattle woke up in this adorable coffee/donut shop. read more

I love the interior of this store, and there's plenty of seating options if you decide to stay in. Mornings can be pretty busy, I've been in during the weekdays and the weekends, but the staff usually has the line moving swiftly. One thing I don't understand is why they don't ask for people's names for the drinks, specifically when the place is busy. We all end up at the pick up area playing a bad game of "is it yours? Are you John/Jane? Am I John/Jane?". The display case is a bit small, and when there's a line makes it hard to figure out what you want. Just remember that the different colors will indicate how much that doughnut is. Customer service is usually a hit or miss, and unfortunately the same goes for the coffee. The doughnuts are the real draw for me. Tips: -Hover as close to the pick up area as you can, baristas aren't consistently loud when calling out drinks/orders -Staff rarely wipes down the tables, so if you are opting to stay you may need to clean up after the person before you -There's a dish drop off area near the condiment area -Street parking is available. I wouldn't recommend parking at the motel nearby and walking over, as you may end up ticketed (or towed) read more

I stopped by mid day and got a maple log and a traditional doughnut. I was impressed by the selection later in the day too. I liked the yeast doughnut butter but they're always my favorite. Both were delicious! read more

That was one very good doughnut! Immediately walking up to this place I was already getting a good vibe from the vintage signage. Walking inside I was immediately struck by how cozy it was with its wood furniture and book shelves. A perfect marriage of the two finest things in life, books and doughnuts! The service was also very pleasant and I got the maple bar based off of their recommendation while also getting well the sugar dusted raspberry filled doughnut. Let me tell you, both of these doughnuts were absolutely fantastic! The maple bar was the perfect texture, being suitably dense, but not bread-like. The maple glaze was sensational as well with the maple really coming through and not being overwhelmed by sugar. The raspberry filled doughnut was magnificent as well, with a great doughnut to filling ratio. Similarly the raspberry filling was really good at balancing its sweetness and tartness. This place was too good, and I'm going to miss it when I return to the Bay Area!! read more

One of the most popular donut spot at downtown Seattle. Lots of seating area outside and upstairs. The line was long but it went pretty fast. I had the Ovaltine latte (their signature drink) and chocolate sandcastle donut. The latte was yummy. The donut was very soft and yet holding its shape. read more

Was in desperate need of some afternoon pick-me-up after a grueling day in the office and stopped by on my way to the nearby parking lot. Well, this place still has that cute retro vibe inside, with the bookshelves lining the walls floor-to-ceiling and a TV that is at least 3 decades old. But food- and drink-wise it is rather unremarkable, and there are better solutions for low blood sugar nearby (hint: try Mochinut a few blocks away). read more

After searching high and low for some good donuts in Seattle, we found the Top Pot location in SLU that was open on Labor Day. I know this is technically a coffee place but for us, their donuts were the main event. The location we visited had great decor inside, much better than your typical coffee/donut spot. Both opposing side walls were covered in massive bookcases that stretched two stories to the ceiling. The lofted second floor had a sizable dining area where you can sit and eat, read or write (in typical Seattle fashion). We got some (great!) coffee and a half dozen donuts that came in a box with wonderful branding. I love that this place has a wide variety of BOTH cake and Old Fashioned (sour cream) style donuts. We got an old fashioned lemon, old fashioned glazed, old fashioned chocolate glazed, blueberry fritter, cookies and cream, and a raspberry chocolate glazed. They were all really good but the fritter was the tea link. I would stick with the old fashioned varieties. I think these may be some of the best donuts in Seattle, at least they certainly have the biggest variety! read more

Doughnuts are my vice. They are the one thing I can eat even if I am beyond full, stuffed to the max. I love all kinds of doughnuts in every way, shape and form. So we had to stop here. Was it worth it? Yes. Yes, it was. BEST CAKE DOUGHNUT I'VE EVER HAD!!! I tried the maple version, and while it was a bit too sweet, the crumb of the cake doughnut itself was moist and soft and delicate. The flavor of that cake was so clean and melt in your mouth good. I was, however, full by the time I got to my Boston creme which was also so good that I ate the whole thing anyway. The chocolate frosting had a lot of depth and flavor. Not your typical chocolate glaze. Loved it. Wasn't a huge fan on the inside but it was very traditional Boston creme. The latte I got was great. I wish I could remember what the brand of beans they used was. Probably the best espresso I've had since Paris. read more

Amazing blueberry apple fritters! I'm not sure. They may be seasonal, but they were very good.

Super spacious donut place! The servers were super friendly and the selection of donuts they had looked amazing! I asked what was a fan favorite and they suggested the old fashioned donuts so we went with the glazed old fashioned. I really really enjoyed it! The glaze was sweet and well glazed over the donut. What I liked best was that the glaze clung to the donut well without it completely deteriorating when bitten into. The donut itself was soft and fresh tasting. My only regret was that I didn't try more! read more

// Summary Simple donuts done well - but go for the amazing bookcase that's a wonder to look at. // Experience Came here to meet up with a friend, per her recommendation. The donut is just a donut, and their coffee is okay enough. But they do simple donuts, and do them well. But I don't think it's anything to rave about. // Service Pretty fast and friendly, and your typical donut shop experience. Nothing stands out here in particular. // Ambiance I do absolutely love the vibe of this shop. They have two stories, with seating available on both floors. They have this large grandiose bookcase that adds a nice feel to the shop. It's a great location to meet up with a friend over something sweet. // Convenience I was able to walk here from my hotel in downtown Seattle, but there also seemed to be paid parking available on the streets. read more

Totally worth the hype. I've heard a lot about this place and I happened to be in the area so I figured, why not? LOCATION // This place is HUGE and it is impossible to miss it. I was shocked at the amount of space inside - it's two stories with tables on both floors. FOOD & DRINK // I asked for a recommendation since it was my first time. I like a fluffier donut (vs. a cake donut) and was recommended the raspberry glazed donut. It was super light but PERFECTLY made. I had my iced latte with it and it was creamy and strong. I loved both of these. SERVICE // This is what stood out the most! I had the best service here. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I was here for 2 hours reading a book and, when I left, I had a bit of coffee left. I asked the folks working if they could hang on to my drink while I quickly went to the restroom. When I came out, I quickly realized there was miscommunication because when I came out, they threw my drink away. They apologized and gave me a coupon for a free drink next time. I thought that was super kind. OVERALL // 5 stars Love it here and I hope to be back! read more

Okay TPD! You win! The donuts (excuse me, DOUGHNUTS) here are amazing. So fresh, so soft, and the variety of flavors are in abundance. We ended up going for a box, because 1 or 2 just wasn't cutting it. We tried a raspberry cake, old fashioned lemon, plain glazed, chocolate glazed, powdered raspberry, and cherry blossom cake doughnuts. All were delicious and worth every penny! Also they have a wonderful Iced Ovaltine Latte drink that was great. I mean, I haven't had Ovaltine chocolate in yearssss, so it was nice to taste a little bit of nostalgia. read more

This is the doughnut shop that Obama visited. There's a large photo of him on the wall. This shop is known for their old fashioned which we got. Service was great. I wish I could say that these were the best doughnuts but I guess I just prefer a slightly less sweet version. They are good with coffee but I think i just prefer the fluffy raised kinds. The raised glazed was a bit denser than I remembered. Overall, worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

The ambience was very clean and comfortable. Restrooms are available and very well kept and require a code to enter. Service was friendly. The donuts are very sweet and yummy. If you are sensitive to sweet then I would stay clear of the donuts with frosting because the frosting may be too sweet. Overall it's a good pastry and would recommend for someone with a sweet tooth. read more

This place has no flavor. Tried the raspberry lemon Father's Day donut. All I tasted was sweetness, no actual flavor. The cherry drink was good, not sweet at all, but again hardly any actual flavor. Customer service is not the best either. Our donuts were plated and on the backside of the counter, closer to the cashier. After paying we stood there and finally I asked if those were our donuts. Our male cashier said yes and just stood there, we had to reach across the counter to grab our plates, felt awkward. Our table was dirty, we had to clean it ourselves. We didn't see anyone wiping tables during our visit. This is the second time I visited this location and both times the service was lacking. I will not be returning here. read more

My husband brought me where he used to study for hours when he was attending pharmacy school. It is such a great spot for coffee, donuts, and to just bring your work from home and utilize the extra space they have here. Unfortunately due to covid regulations they did not allow any indoor seating but if I ever come out here again I hope I have the chance to sit inside and enjoy the vibes. The donut selection was great! I like my basic glazed and my husband got the glazed old fashion donut. We only got two donuts because we figured we need to save our appetite for lunch. I also ordered the ovaltine latte which was good in the size small. I really liked it out here and recommend to all to try this place out if you're in Seattle. read more

I said no i want to know how to access light rail. Staying next door i decided to try doughnuts next morning. They were average at best. Old fashion was dried and chocolate delight lacked chocolatr taste. Lastly i asked an employee for breakfast place for my wife and she seemed put. Even if doughnuts were great the people were rude!!'nn read more

I really wanted to love Top Pot after all they specialize in my favorite type of donut, the cake donut. That being said, it wasn't anything special. It's worth a stop if you're in the area but no need to come here for a special trip. I highly recommend coming here for a cute study session! read more

Top Pot Doughnuts was just down the block from our hotel so we checked it out for morning coffee. We got there about 9:30 am on a Saturday morning and there was hardly any waiting. The Boston Cream doughnut was super yummy with a nice chocolate forward frosting. I did not care for the Apple fritter, as it seemed pretty tough and chewy. That could just be personal preference. The coffee was great too. I loved the extra seating upstairs so it didn't feel crowded and loved the book decor. A great spot! read more

Right across our hotel was the very much talked about Top Pot! Donuts and coffee, is there a better combo? Their black iced coffee was okay. Some tart notes here and there. The olvatine coffee drink was good. Not super sweet. My favorite was the Barvarian cream donut. A ton of filling! The maple was okay. We also got the cookies and cream cake donut. That was okay too. Over all, it's good! Not spectacular read more
