    Marshall Mather's & ODB
    Julie M.

    I love this place. If I'm having a rough morning, or just attended a concert and want a late night snack. The employees are always friendly and the location is clean and easily accessible. Marshall Mather's is my fav but I'm excited to try their new donut sticks.

    The Grape Ape (top right) was a past favorite it looked sad and messy, just like the Homer next to it, so I didn't order it.

    1. First the good. The counter staff were welcoming and friendly. The shop itself is cool looking and inviting. 2. Back in the day when Voodoo only had one shop in Portland and you had to wait in a long line we went a number of times. What I remember most about it was that the inventiveness of their flavors was matched by the quality of their donuts. 3. On our recent trip to Voodoo here in Seattle that quality was a thing of the past. My past favorite the Grape Ape was so messy and sad looking I didn't order it. And it wasn't the only sad looking donut in the case. We tried a couple of donuts (apple fritter and Pucker Up) and in both cases the donuts underneath the toppings were oily. I won't be coming back. There are better donuts with more consistent quality in Seattle.

    Service was great, fast and friendly. Cute little place with no real place to eat inside. The decorated donuts are fun and definitely worth coming to try. I just wanted to try a few things: voodoo doll - 6.5/10 - great decoration, very tart but each bite with a pretzel made the donut very balanced bacon maple bar - 7.5/10 - this was my favorite. rich, creamy, sweet and savory red velvet cheesecake - 6/10 - good but nothing stood out Would definitely visit often. I am lucky we don't have them where I live otherwise I would be gaining lots weight.

    Quality/Quantity - Time for dessert. We just had dinner next door and because my daughter is such a HUGE fan and supporter, we came here for dessert. Pumpkin Spice Late - Just okay. Pumpkin Buttermilk Bar - Just okay. Personally, I feel the "fad" is over. I still remember when you first started and we used to wait in hour-long lines. But don't worry, as long as my daughter is a fan, we will still support. Ambiance - Cool decor, consistent with their brand. See pictures. Plenty of selections as always. Open 7 days a week from 6am to 11pm or 3am; see my website or my picture. Service - Overall good. Not 100% clear directions on the door if we were supposed to wait outside or not?!?! Price - $8, reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2000/2003 and now with 23+ locations and in 9 states and continuing to grow. We have been to at least 11 of your locations and counting.

    This isn't my first time coming to Voodoo Doughnut -- I've even been to the original location in Portland, OR -- but this visit was special. My mom had been craving a buttermilk bar for weeks. She'd tried four different doughnut shops and couldn't find one anywhere, so I figured Voodoo might be our best shot... and it was! She said it was delicious and tasted just like the ones she had when she was a kid. Voodoo is always fun because of its unique flavors and quirky names -- the Voodoo Doll, Grape Ape, Maple Blazer Blunt -- you name it. The décor matches the vibe perfectly: colorful, playful, and a little spooky (the name is Voodoo Doughnut, after all). The spinning display cases showing off all the doughnuts are such a cool touch and make it hard to choose just one. I went with the Portland Cream this time, and it was delicious. Whether you're craving something classic or something wild, Voodoo always delivers.

    Donut was loaded with grease, tasted old and stale and nasty.

    We had a really disappointing visit to Voodoo Donuts. I've had their donuts before and have enjoyed them, but this location served us overpriced, overcooked, and stale donuts for a premium. Yuck. In the evenings, the inside of the store is closed and you have to wait at an outside walk-up window. It's not really a problem, except that the employee running the window was brand new and had no idea how to work the point of sale system or even the names of their most popular donuts. (He did, of course, have zero issues prompting us to press the tip button). We got a box of 4 donuts because we couldn't decide and they all sounded good. That's the key word here: they SOUNDED good. And there's the main caveat with Voodoo Donuts: they consistently over-promise and under-deliver. Hubby got a Butterfinger donut and a maple crème stuffed donut. One bite and he was done. I got a strawberry glazed with sprinkles and a strawberry crème donut. I was also disappointed. My donuts were greasy and tasted so old and stale. The grease was disgusting and obviously had not been changed in a while. Nobody wants a nasty donut that was fried in old grease that wasn't warm enough. It made the dough soak up all the nasty flavors. I also couldn't tell that my donuts were supposed to be strawberry as there was zero fruit flavor in either of them. All I could taste was old, dirty grease. Look at my photos, you can SEE how overcooked and soaked with too-brown grease my donuts were. Barf. I'm mad that I wasted money and time and carbs on these donuts. Skip this location, you can do far, far better.

    My partner is obsessed with this place and honestly I get it. I love that they have vegan donuts and there's always fun monthly specials. The service is always friendly and helpful. It's a small place without really seating indoors but it's easily packaged to go, which is usually what we're doing anyways.

    The donuts are giant. The dough is nice and soft. The icing was a little too sweet so I got tired by the end of it. We ordered through the takeout window and they handed the donuts to us right there. Glad they had vegan options since I'm allergic to dairy. I'd probably try a different flavor next time.

    I scheduled a pickup here. Since it's a smaller location, I did have to wait in a bit of a line, but the staff was incredibly friendly throughout. Most importantly, the doughnuts were absolutely delicious and worth the wait!

    My only experiences with Voodoo Doughnut have been in Portland, long before it became a national chain. Despite having seen them in other parts of the country, this Seattle location was my first foray into the non-Portland Voodoo life. And unsurprisingly, it was a solid, sweet, and food comatose experience. (#1) The shop is located on the corner of Pine and Minor, just around the block from lots of popular businesses along Pike in the heart of Capitol Hill. It's too small for any actual seating, but the lines can get so overwhelming that a security guard is there to keep the crowds manageable. Like any popular spot, one has to be let in once the security has given the all-clear. Voodoo Doughnut sold a sizeable chunk of their ownership before the pandemic, which has taken them to multiple states that include Texas, Colorado, Florida, and California. Thus, the brand feels more *corporate* than ever, which is a far from the alternative, Portland hippy / grudge vibe that I had long associated with the company. There are some definite nice touches: employees with legible name tags (#2), a bright pink exterior with neon lighting, and a spinning display case carousel complete with excellent lighting and the names of every doughnut available in their arsenal. It's brilliant. Of the dozen doughnuts, the ones that stood out were the maple bacon bar, the banana cream pie, the blueberry cake, and the buttermilk bar. The pop tarts and marshall mathers were just too sugar for my liking. Barring all sweets aside, the maple old fashioned may stand to be my favorite of all. The folks behind the counter were young and sweet. The prices are going to be up there but the quality of the product should be on par. While I can't really say that I prefer the more updated version of VD compared to the older one, I can say that I'm more willing to give it the other locations a shot. __________ (#1) Blood sugar crash. (#2) Back in the day, it would've been: "what name tags?"

    Loved the variety of donuts. They were delicious! The cashier was a big cold - I tried asking her what her favorite was and she gave me a weird look (like 'why are you asking me?') which I thought wasn't very respectful... the ambiance = PINK. I love that they have the spinning donut preview - makes the space more fun!

    Friend and I wanted sweets late at night and decided to go here on a Thursday night close to 11:30pm. Use street parking since it's Cap Hill. They actually close their interior when it's late for reasons you would be aware of when you think Capitol Hill. It's bright in there and there are pink display cases where the doughnuts would be displayed inside though they were all empty when I took a peek behind the counter. Their selections are on a menu printed outside several of their windows though they're hard to see when it's dark; you can use a QR code near those menus to see their offerings through their phone. They're all pretty unique in their own ways, some creative and others plain suggestive. I've had doughnuts from one of their locations in Portland back in 2022, so I recognized certain kinds that they've brought over to this one. The two of us collectively ended up getting the following: - Bacon maple bar: I've said this many times but sweet and savory just don't mix for me. This doughnut is a prime example of that, though I do like how crispy the bacon remained and how it balanced the overly sweetened pastry. - Mango tango: even sweeter than the bacon maple bar! Possibly because of the mango jelly and Tang. Neither of us could finish the half we split, it tasted heavily like a mango-flavored sour gummy. - Cinnamon sugar cake: our most favorite solely because it wasn't as overly sweetened as the rest, and was relatively mild in flavor. Dough was dry and bread was a tad too firm. - Cock n' balls: so... this doughnut is HUGE. Funny enough, the white Bavarian cream filling inside is only in the shaft of the doughnut and not the balls... that aside, the cream doesn't pair well with the heavier chocolate frosting; their sweet profiles don't match. - Old dirty bastard: a mix of Oreos, chocolate and peanut butter. This was just very heavy and sweet and my friend didn't get to try this one after having literally everything else listed above. If it wasn't obvious, my friend and I agreed that the doughnuts were too sweet in general, and I didn't prefer most of the flavor profile mashups from what I had. That we ordered later in the day didn't affect the quality of the doughnuts, but they still could have been a lot better. I'd prefer a regular glazed doughnut anytime over here, but I'm glad I was able to give these doughnuts another go and not have to return to Portland to do so.

    I had a good experience picking up donuts at Voodoo. I like how they have the menu outside and also you can see the spinning wheel of donuts when you walk in. The staff here were friendly. I grabbed a couple of donuts to go. There doesn't appear to be room to eat here. I got a coffee from Monorail down the hill to go with them.

    THE voodoo doughnut!

    Nut allergy friendly! Vegan and nut free on everything. Amazing. I had to try it…read more I saw this cute spot on inKind after walking by it during several Seattle visits and finally decided to stop in after reading another review that mentioned that they are nut-free. Spoiler: Absolutely no regrets, I wish I had visited earlier! I ordered a six pack with a variety of their donuts and shared them with four friends, having a bit of each. I'm glad we did it this way because I don't think I could have finished some of these donuts solo. I also had a seasonal rose latte at half sweetness which was decent, but very wholesomely came with a little donut hole that was pretty good. I will say, they nailed all the flavors. If you like the flavor, probably a 4/5 donut overall. They just weren't always my cup of tea. So the scores here are for personal enjoyment more than anything - like I said, they're solid donuts. Sour Watermelon (2/5): Holy smokes, this one felt like it was punching your taste buds. It's almost confusing on how this is in a donut form. It's more like a sour patch kid. It's intense. I don't think I could solo one. Mango Tajin (3/5): Similar to the sour Watermelon, it's perplexing how this is a donut. It was a bit spicy and tangy, just as the flavor implied. Cookies & Cream (3.5/5): Get ready to get messy. It's crumbly. It's sweet. It's more like a normal donut. Matcha Strawberry (4.5/5): My favorite of the weird flavors of donuts. They really aced the matcha flavor and it's well balanced for a donut. Blueberry Fritter (2.5/5): This was pretty hyped up, but honestly I felt like the blueberry flavor was overpowered just by the sheer amount of sugar. Texture was good, it just felt so sweet. Overall, I'd definitely recommend for a fun experience. Share some different flavors! Paid via inKind with no issues.

    Mighty-O Donuts seems to be one of the few vegan donut shops that actually tries to make yeast…read moredonuts - most places are cake only. We decided to drop by after eating lunch in the area for a sweet treat afterwards, then ended up picking up a whole dozen... Some notes for a couple that I tried: Maple Bar ($4.99) - Hmm.. Not that fluffy or light. Instead or being airy, it's more dense and has a kind of springy chew. The glaze is sweet and gives off a heavy maple fragrance, an indication they use real maple syrup in the glaze. Maple bars from other places are usually disgustingly sweet with basically no maple flavor - this one is sweet but more well balanced. I think the texture is definitely different from a typical yeast donut. I wonder if it's just because it more difficult to make vegan yeast donuts vs cake donuts? It's a different type of yeast donut, but still very good. (4/5) Chocolate Peanut Butter ($4.45) - Good peanut butter flavor in both the topping and glaze. I think the donut base is also peanut butter but it could be contamination from the glaze. The base isn't very sweet and is kind of almost savory in flavor. The donut is dense but not crumbly and instead very moist. Not really crusty, so not too much textural difference. I think it's baked rather than fried. Still very sweet. (4/5) Devils Playground ($4.45) - The donut base is dense with rich chocolate flavor, and coated with a chocolate ganache of just the right thickness. I hate it when donuts just have a smear of topping to make the donut look attractive, but does barely anything flavor wise. This one, on the other hand, is richly flavored. (4/5) Chocolate Raspberry ($3.65) - This is my favorite, same chocolate cake donut base as above but with bright berry notes and specks of seeds. The tangy berries do wonders to temper down some of the sweetness. (5/5) French Toast ($3.65) - My least favorite by far. Covered with peanuts (which is fine), but the cake donut base or perhaps the glaze tastes heavily earthy, like an overload of cinnamon and nutmeg. (2/5) People who expect the exact same texture as a non-vegan donut, both the cake and yeast types, will probably be disappointed. If I just think of these donuts as their own thing, they're actually quite good. There's another donut shop that I prefer down the street, but Mighty-O Donuts certainly isn't a bad choice for a sweet treat.

There was a TON of almond filling in the middle. I enjoyed the taste and texture but it was too much filling for me personally. I would have liked more croissant in my croissant, so to say haha. The chocolate was slightly dark which worked well with the sweet pastry and filling! Overall I enjoyed the croissant but it was a tad too heavy on the filling and cripsy/crunchy for me.

    Stopped in later in the day and they still had quite a few cupcake options. Tried the lavender…read morecupcake which was very tasty. They also have plain vanilla and plain chocolate vegan cupcakes too which was a nice surprise. I do wish they had some vegan flavored cupcakes though like the rainbow or lavender options. The staff person was very friendly and answered my questions. They also packaged the cupcake really well. It's a small space but they also have lots of last minute party or cake decor.

    Have been a follower of Cupcake Royale since they started…read more Seattle, Ballard, wherever you landed. With the variety of cupcakes in Seattle, and so much to choose from... even though your cupcakes were more, I was willing to pay. Fact is, $5.50+ tip(!) for cupcake is quite a bit. Still I thought they were worth it. I loved how if I was downtown late for an evening out, I would make it so I would go to Cupcake Royale within 10-25 minutes prior to closing. Not eating dessert at a fancy restaurant, but my favorite cupcakes- and they made it by 3 get 3 free at closing! OoI could share my delicious bounty with family and friends. In turn, they had done the same when they were downtown. No more. Last few times it was " maybe 5 minutes before we close", or recently " I have not heard of that. But I have only worked here three days." Please, for the sake of other patrons, get your sh*t together. Your " staff" appears ambivalent, tired, and although on their phones, not wanting to be there. Staff may have been your saving grace, but no. Not no, hell no. Get it together Cupcake Royale- do you, or don't you cater to the people who have kept you afloat? I purchased cupcakes a couple of times anyway, just to support your business as I always have, and to pass into others, hoping to keep you in business. Tough times for so many. At 6:50 pm, I bought full priced crunchy , sitting there all day cup cakes, full price. Had I known they would be bird food, I would not have. Yes. I tossed them to the birds. Expensive treat. You have taken my money, and given me an inferior product once again. Should have known from before. My bad. I don't know why I expected it to be any different from last experience. I guess it was my utmost faith in you, and your product. The thing was, at almost closing there were over 20 cupcakes. No more. You lost me. You lost my business. Sad. Trophy, here I come!

    While walking around Seattle, we randomly came across Bober Tea and thought we should try it out…read more The decor is super cute, with a whole wall full of mochi donuts along with a neon sign. We were the only customers at the time, so we could really choose where we wanted to sit. We went to order and were redirected to the large screen to put our order through. I forgot to take pictures of our drinks, but we got a milk tea and black tea with 25% sugar. The drinks were fairly good and the boba was a bit chewy. It was also nice that ordering 6 mochi donuts came with a Thai iced tea, which I really liked! The mochi donuts were all good with a chewy and firm texture to them. None of them were too sweet, but some flavors were leaning more on subtle. Overall, it's a decent spot to check out if you're in the area!

    As I crave boba a lot and like to try new places, this is one of the newer boba shops in the…read moregreater Seattle area, located in Capitol Hill up in Broadway where a handful of good restaurants are. Location is excellent as you can go here as a dessert after your meal, but naturally this means parking can be a pain to get. I showed up around 7pm for boba, and I noticed that they already fully sold out of mochi donuts this early in the day. The store is really cute with lots of mochi donuts on the wall and a pink aesthetic that is perfect for friend hangouts or dates. I got the chizu matcha latte with stir fried boba, which came out to almost $9 total. Bold of them to charge a convenience fee on top of sales tax to make the drink super expensive. I opted for 50% sugar and there is absolutely no option to request less ice. A supposedly regular had to verbally flag to the worker to not add ice, which I probably should do, but at least please add it as an option so that it is more convenient. I guess they want to cut costs and give us less drink? For 50% sugar, I don't think they respected the customizations as I saw the worker just pour premade matcha latte to the cup and then added the cheese foam on top. When I tasted my drink, it was grossly sweet. Boba was undercooked so I ended up having to toss a lot of the boba out, and the boba was not cheap at $0.95 for the topping. Fortunately, when I got my drink, they had a few mochi donut circles I got to sample, and I am glad they sold out of the mochi donuts as the mochi donuts did not have the chewy texture that is present in mochi donuts. I dodged a bullet from committing to a pricey $4+ mochi donut - like other places charge way less for one for better quality

Ate a plain cake donut on the road home. Immediately evident that these are not your typical donut. I loved them, but I wanted a second opinion (Rudy doesn't count, he loves everything). Shared parts of 3-4 donuts with a well regarded expert on baked goods, she called them the best donuts ever. Again this style might not be for everyone, but for me they were a hit.

They were out of the mini-filled Marocchino Bombas, so they upgraded it to a Bismarck free of charge which was very sweet. Will definitely be back to try their pineapple fritter. The Georgette (3.25/5): I wanted this to be fluffier and moister on the inside. It ended up eating a bit dry and I'm normally a sucker for cinnamon sugar options. Bananas Foster Bismarck (4.25/5): Caramelized banana flavor comes through beautifully and cream is fluffy and soft. Not sure if it's quite as pillowy as The Flour Box, but I definitely prefer the flavor profiles here. Marocchino Bismarck (4.5/5): This one is a sleeper hit. Same comment on the dough as above, but the super luscious coffee cream and extremely light sugar glaze made this my favorite option. Vanilla Old Fashioned (4.25/5): This was surprisingly delicious! I usually do not love old fashioned, but this wasn't dry at all. Glaze had good vanilla flavor and probably as good as this gets.
