Seattle runs on coffee, but Top Pot proves it survives on donuts too. The old fashioned donuts are elite, the coffee is legit, and somehow every location still feels like a classic Seattle rainy-day comfort spot. A mandatory stop anytime we're craving a proper donut. read more

The doughnuts are great. Nothing else is. I've been coming here for a few months since I moved here.The attitude across all of the staff is the same: rude and disinterested. They act as though placing your order is an inconvenience to them. Today in an attempt to avoid the bad attitude I placed an online order right when they opened. It took 25 minutes for my other to be ready. In the time I was standing there they helped every customer that came in after me before they even started preparing mine. Very poor service. I don't think I'll be back. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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 is such a cool place looks like an old-fashioned library The offerings are abundant and delicious. I got a chocolate old-fashioned today. The service is really good and the atmosphere is calming and relaxing. Definitely come back and try something else. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Chocolate old-fashioned - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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

If you come here for donuts, they have a solid maple bar! Their maple bar was fluffy and not oily at all which was appreciate. 100% all in for their donuts. Minus one star because I ordered their chai latte and it was the most flavorless drink ever. I don't recommend. But minus the drink, my husband and I enjoyed this spot. We came on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. Service was friendly and quick. Their cafe has an upstairs area with additional seating and their cafe decor is pretty cute with all of the books. 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. Coffee was on point and we sat for a while enjoying the ambiance. Never felt rushed and can't think of any negatives. 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

It was nice to show up at around 5pm on a Monday and still have a variety of donuts to choose from! The menu board is a little all over the place, loved how it was all written but wish all the drinks were in one spot. Such a cute aesthetic with lots of seating upstairs and some spots on the main floor in front of the counter. Friendly guy at the register, patient while I tried to figure out what I wanted. The chai is delicious!! Ordered an iced dirty chai and it was so good. The donuts were good too, not overly sweet and I am sure they are even better at the beginning of the day! read more

Initially the person who took my order was great. But the person making coffee would call out coffee orders by different names then what was used when ordering... completely confused me and another party... eventually realized my drink was taken by someone else. They remade it but seemed so annoyed about it... just a whole miscommunication... normally it's whatever... but I just am confused why there are so many names for one drink... and refused to use the same name as what I used to order to avoid confusion... I was trying to be nice but felt like I was just a bother... and everyone just stared at me that stood around in the back... I dunno...the whole thing was off putting. Sucks cause I really like their coffee. read more

Walking around Seattle there is always a new culinary treat around each corner it was later in the day around 6:15 pm and I was still drinking coffee and wanted a donut so i stopped in for a donut snack and I picked up a bag of beans I went with the Diplomat and a cookies and cream donut it was really delicious everyone was super friendly ever if it was almost closing time. I will definitely stop in again to try some more of the donut selection they all looked delicious. Cookies And Cream Donut - A Diplomat Coffee - read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Opal Vietnamese cold brew - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

How I heard of this place: Upon moving to Seattle nearly two decades ago, a friend introduced me to his favorite donut shop and cafe in which to work/study. It quickly became a favorite of mine, too. And we have slowly made our way around many of the locations throughout the Seattle area. Type of cuisine: Donuts, coffee, a small selection of pastries and sandwiches, as well as bottled/canned beverages. Ambiance: This particular location is large and spacious, with tall ceilings, an upstairs loft space with additional seating, and floor-to-ceiling windows looking out onto 5th Avenue. The nooks of books also traverse the walls, reaching from the floor up to the top, at the ceiling, as well. A huge kitchen area is found behind the doughnut display case, espresso bar and cashier counter, where all of the magic happens - baking and barista training. What I ordered: On this occasion, a blended mocha for me, and a pink rainbow sprinkles cake doughnut for my little dining companion. What I loved: A quick and easy visit to perk you up between downtown exploration and adventuring. Why I loved it: Top Pot has great, consistent doughnuts, and good locations for sitting to enjoy a a treat while working, studying, or people-watching. Cost: Average read more

This spot had a number of donuts to choose from with a few unique ones including specials. The ordering process was smooth, and the staff was helpful. Four donuts ($2.50 each?) were eaten. All donuts were of good size and quality. Cookies and Cream - This was a chocolate donut with Oreo pieces and vanilla icing. This was tasty. The chocolate donut was cakey and went well with the Oreo pieces and icing. Raspberry Lemonade - This was different. I thought it would be too sweet, but it was not at all. It tasted exactly like what one would expect from a donut with this name. This was also a cake donut. Raspberry Bismarck - This was a raspberry jelly donut with sugar on top. This was my favorite donut tried here. The jelly was thick and appetizing. The sugar enhanced the flavor too. Glazed - This was a standard donut with an ideal amount of glaze, but a light feel to it. I enjoyed it. Will I go back? Indeed. read more

Haven't been to the actual store, but our company had their donuts catered for breakfast twice now. Both times they had this pretty donut shaped holder for us to see the variety and choose our sweet treat. One thing I do wish they had was a "key" for us to know what the flavors of each donut was. For the non-obvious flavors, we just had to try our luck and guess haha, which is fun but also I didn't wanna waste a whole donut if I wasn't a fan of the flavor. With that said, I think for catering, it might be a good idea to have some pre-cut so that people can try various flavors instead of having to commit to a whole donut! Overall a yummy treat though and I would go to their actual store if I had a chance! read more

In search of the greatest donut shop in Seattle, I came across Top Pot Doughnuts. The shop was huge and had a lot of space for seating. They had a variety of donuts and drinks on their menu, and the person behind the register was kind and patient in explaining each one to us. To say the least, my life changed after the first bite. My girlfriend and I got their Maple Bar, Bavarian Cream, and Glazed Donut. Their Maple Bar was the best maple bar I ever had. Their donuts were very soft and pillowy, and I kept finding myself going for another bite. In fact, I came back right before my flight home for another Maple Bar. If you're in the Seattle area, do yourself a favor and try out Top Pot Doughnuts! read more

This is the flagship location of Top Pot Doughnuts and it's the coolest donut shop I've ever been to! It's got two floors and huge floor to ceiling windows that allow for plenty of natural light to come in. There are bookshelves all around and it kind of made me feel like I had walked into the library that was given to Belle in Disney's Beauty and the Beast!  Service was good. The man who helped us was very friendly and energetic. He was very good about offering recommendations and answering any questions that we had. On the table:  Cherry Blossom drink Chai Pershing Cookies n Cream We all "Perferred" the Pershing over the Cookies n Cream. Cookies n Cream was delicious; however, a bit too rich and filling for our tastes. The Pershing was kind of like a cross between a doughnut and a cinnamon roll. We love doughnuts and we love cinnamon rolls so what's not to love about the two of them being brought together into one?!

You know, one of the worst things about going to a large foodie city... finding the unaltered, just do it right, workingman's food.. Do you ever notice that all of a sudden a cheeseburger from a food cart cost $18 Did you ever notice that a cuppa black coffee goes for 4$ Did you ever notice that I donut is all of a sudden for $5? So I am always gonna be a fan of when I find the perfect smash burger for a normal price for that perfect slice of pizza for two bucks and here beautifully done doughnut for doughnut price! I am sorry to rant, but these places are going away so fast and it means that so many people don't ever get to enjoy this... Because I know personally when I see a donut and a case for five dollars and I see some beautiful French desert next to it for a dollar more I never get the donut!! Here that was not the case you could going to get these massive raise donuts at a beautifully low price, and I will say they were absolutely amazing and perfect and the reviews in the lines out the door showed that... Super bummed they were out of apple fritters, my fault for coming in later than normal... I knew it would be, but the raspberry frosting had me inhaling this... Whereas the kids preferred the chocolate dip and the cinnamon spiral so really and truly, everyone was happy even my gluten-free dairy free girlfriend that loved the muffin they had for her that was chocolate chocolate... The line is long, but it goes quick read more

Delicious donuts! We had a very short trip to Seattle and this was our first and last stop because we couldn't get enough. Our hotel was right across the street too which made it oh so convenient to pick up a donut or two or dozen. Upon entering, I was immediately in awe of the giant bookcases! There were plenty of tables on the first and second floor which is perfect for a quick bite, study session, or date. The donuts were fresh and delicious with quite a good variety of flavors and types to choose from. Prices are reasonable for the size of the donuts as well. I loved the raspberry glazed old fashioned donut as the texture was perfect and the flavor was tasty. They sell coffee as well and we saw quite a couple other customers ordering it but we did not order coffee. We did however order almost every donut they had available during our stay with a dozen to take home with us. Cool thing to note is Obama came by for donuts here once! read more

It's hard finding a good donut! Is it doughnut or donut? I guess donut is the simple form of donughtnut. I don't frequent donuts but while in town, I definitely needed to pay Top Pot Doughnuts a visit since it's been on every food type channel on TV. Love the space and layout of this donut shop. High ceilings and storefront with bookcases reaching up to the 2nd story ceiling. There's a mezzanine with tables and chairs overlooking the lower area. Anyways, back to the donuts. The donuts at Top Pot are classic American type donuts. Nothing too fancy or creative unlike the So Cal ones. I tried an old fashioned donut with maple glaze. Pretty solid and good. Presentation here is different. Donuts stacked more like a bake shop stacked on top instead laid flat individually. This is a good place to visit. Nothing fancy, just good classic donuts. read more

Definitely one of the top ranked donuts! The dough was fresh! We picked up 6 pieces and it was still fresh the second day. And this is just my opinion, I am not a person with a sweet tooth, so the chocolate and cream was a bit too sweet for me. However, the doughnut was just perfect. Suggestion- If you don't have a sweet tooth, I would recommend to go with classic or glazed donuts 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
