Donuts are soft and very tasty. Brought some donuts into my work and all of my coworkers were raving about the donuts.

Donuts are mediocre and the staff is extremely rude. I don't get how these small businesses have the worst service when they need the business the most. read more

Amazing customer service ! Got stuck waiting for someone at the donut shop and the owners were so kind to me. I tried their ham and cheese croissant and they are amazing!!! Soft, and flaky. I totally recommend this place !!! read more

I've been back several more times. Words cannot express my love for Factory Donuts. Some specific donut reviews: Buttermilk donut glazed - This is the kind of donut you cry over. You cry as you eat it because it's so good, and then you cry again when there's no more. Toasted coconut donut - Crunchy, nutmeggy, coconutty. It's coconut donut perfection. RARE FIND! They don't always have this one. Old fashioned glazed - Perfection in form. Better than Top Pot's, perfectly flavored. Not too sweet. The glaze has a bit of a crunch, the inside is smooth and cake-like. Apple fritter - The best fritter I've ever had. Not too apple, not too fritter. Crunchy outside, melt in your mouth inside. Raised donut glazed - Huge, cake-like. The glaze is perfect, nothing like the cheap and poorly flavored grocery store donut glaze. Buttermilk donut with chocolate frosting - A little dry on the not-frosted parts. Not my favorite. Donut holes - they're all great, get a dozen and scarf them. It satisfies a primal urge. read more

Best donuts I've ever had! A coworker brought a dozen of these to the office and I immediately had to know where he got them. Hands down the best donuts on the eastside, Top Pot doesn't hold a candle. The lady at the counter was super nice and there were so many varieties - can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Best donuts around! Seriously if you like good authentic donuts this is the place. This is the one place I'll drive just to get donuts from! read more

This place is great. Sure the person putting the boxes together may rush you as she has more donuts to put out, so just be ready, or tell her you need a second and wait a minute or two. Factory Donuts has some of the best donuts around. The apple fritters are huge and by far the tastiest I have ever had. Especially early morning when they are still hot. The chocolate creme filled are great, about 10 times better than dunkin or krispy's almost as good as top spot which wins the award for the best chocolate icing. The selection is great, from maple bars, to the twist, to chocolate buttermilks to the old fashioned. What a place, quick easy in and out. Pick up a couple dozen and be the office hero for the day. They are less expensive than most places. read more

Horrible, Horrible Horrible. Bad customer service, they are never open when their hours say they are. DONT GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. THEY DONT DESERVE IT. read more

They have such great donuts and so many flavors, the two ladies who work there are so sweet and welcoming I love coming here!

Consistently fresh and divine. My favorite is the plain glazed donut, the filled and frosting donuts are also excellent. For savory, their ham and cheese croissant is fresh and flavorful. The building facade and sign are humble-looking, I discovered this place on a recommendation otherwise it's easy to overlook. Now whenever I'm near Woodinville, I don't go anywhere else. read more

My children play ice hockey next door do it is natural for them to get super excited when they see a donut shop. My first view was this asian lady talking down on this boy who was with his father. I didn't think much of it until it was my turn to get something. Since it was our first time, my son and I were still looking around. Impatient lady had this frown and went to the back to do something quickly. She immediately went back and asked what do we want and not in a nice way.While getting our orders, these two kids came in and started playing with their money. Impatient lady scolded one of them and said "Money is dirty. Don't put it in your mouth." It really felt like I was in the set watching a chinese movie where the matriarch is just all mean. The big pro about this place is that the donuts are not bad and you can't beat the price. Cons: Obviously the owner. Do not order espresso here as they just have this generic dispenser that makes the brew for you. There's no barista so you're better off ordering drip coffee. One more thing is she asked if I wanted my ham and cheese croissant warm. I didn't realize that she was going to nuke it in the microwave. You toast a croissant to keep its integrity. So this beautiful flaky layered piece of deliciousness became this floppy bread. Can't do much about it. read more

Our favorite!! Truly appreciate these kind people! We ordered a giant donut for our little girl's 6th birthday and they had it ready for us upon arrival. We love the donut holes too. Such a fun treat!! read more

Factory Donuts - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I totally disagree with negative responses regarding rudeness or not giving boxes. Been here 6 or 7 times always friendly and nice, always give boxes, etc. These are the best donuts in all of the Seattle area. They have such a wide variety all the time from cake donuts, to big fluffy, fritters, donut holes, and more ( probably 75+ ) options. They are quick and fresh. Not to mention these are way under priced. They should charge way more. I actually feel guilty and always tip an extra 30% or $4. If you are a fan on dunkin donuts, this is your spot. Very similar. But they have the top pot like donuts and more. I rave about this place, if you read this and like donuts, please go get one...just save the white circle sprinkle ones for me. They are amazing, tasty, and inexpensive. read more

Classic and delicious! I went by at 7am on a Monday during COVID-19 Shelter in Place? And they were kind, super quick, and practiced social distancing. I'll definitely be going back! read more

Tasty, friendly, there was a time or two I forgot cash and the owner hooked me up with an IOU. Way better than krispy cream.

My husband and I really like this place. They still have a decent spread when we get there around 10:30am on a Sunday morning. I always have a ham and cheese croissant warmed up, which the owner remembers now. When they have them, I'll also get chocolate donut holes (yummy!). And my husband varies between an apple fritter, bear claw, or custard filled, and always gets a glazed old-fashioned. ((I realize I wrote about how overpriced Countryside was, but then I realized that I don't know the prices here even though we do get a number of donuts here... I never looked at the board, and my husband always just hands her his card. I will edit any review if needed once I visit here again.)) The owner, Jenny, is actually very nice to us. It's rarely too busy when we get there, so she usually has time to make some small talk with us. I can see how some people might take her as being rude, and really, sometimes she can be. But that's just a culture thing, in my opinion. We've been in there when she was on the phone, and stayed on the phone while helping us, but we weren't bothered by it. I definitely wasn't, because I was pretty sure she was on the phone with someone from Cambodia, and if a call goes through, even if it might be at an awkward time, you want to stay on for as long as you can and get the most out of that calling card and phone connection. Don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but just thought I'd throw it out there in case it does happen. For any verbal rudeness, it's easy for me to write off as a language barrier. Sometimes intonation just doesn't come out as intended when it's not your first language. I'm not trying to make excuses for her -- I just don't want people thinking she's the meanest lady in the world if it's something that can't really be helped. Or maybe I'm just able to be more sympathetic and forgiving if she might have had a bad morning. Anyway, we like her. We like this shop. We like the donuts and croissants. It's not something to gush over -- they're not absolutely incredibly amazing -- but it's a good place to go if you want a good donut. read more

Best apple fritters around!! The apple fritters in my hometown bakery (shout out to Famous Bakery Williams Lake BC) were the best. They were hard and crunchy on the outside but fluffy on the inside. The glaze was perfect, like glass. Sadly they closed down in the early 90's. I had been looking for an apple fritter like that but never quite found what I was looking for. Until my son had a hockey game next door at the Sno-King's Arena in Kirkland WA. I went in for a coffee and when I saw the apple fritters I knew I had to try them. Wow! Too bad I live in BC. The last time we went to Factory Donuts, we got delayed at the border, but the nice donut lady stayed late so I was able to get my apple fritters. read more

Factory Donuts - Apple Fritters! - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Seriously? The donuts were nothing special. They were better than Safeway for sure, but I think Countryside Donuts in Kirkland taste better. I must admit that most comments refer to Fritters, but I simply had a chocolate and maple bar. The most disappointing part was that she purposely got my order wrong. I say purposely because the exact same thing happened to another person her on yelp. I didn't discover it until I got home. I first asked for 4 chocolate bars to start off. She repeated 4 chocolate bars and I waited until she loaded them into the box to order more. When were done ordering, she said we had two more to go. I thought my math was off early in the morning, trusted her judgement, and when we got home we were 2 chocolate bars short. TOYALLY HEART BREAKING. It was the first thing i ordered, she repeated my order back to me as she loaded them up, and nobody else was in the store so there were no distractions. read more

Lady at counter very tired sorry but... The donuts look amazing. You can't go wrong there we will see if a bunch of teens and a band teacher approve. read more

Factory Donuts - Fresh donuts yum - Donuts Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

It was extremely difficult to understand the employee at the counter due to her thick accent, but I eventually managed to order an Iced Latte and two donuts. I was asked if I would like vanilla flavoring added to the Iced Latte, and I said sure. I was charged significantly higher than the listed menu price, with no explanation or receipt offered. After going to the nearby Subway, I went back to the outside of Factory Donuts to look at the menu to see if I could figure out where the extra charge came from. After a minute or so, the employee who I had ordered from and a second employee who had appeared gestured for me to go inside. Without my having said anything. they already knew that I was wondering about the charge, so this might be a common occurrence at this place. After talking to them, I understood that an extra $1.50 charge came from a tricky menu format where the flavor price ($.50) was meant to be a subsection of a line above it saying espresso ($1.50), and customers adding any flavor pay the $1.50 espresso charge in addition to the listed price for the individual flavor(s). (even for non-espresso drinks like the Iced Latte, apparently) The second employee seemed genuinely apologetic when I stated that this was a pretty dirty trick and refunded me the difference, despite the first employee's protests. The first employee also yelled something at me (or maybe at the other employee) as I left the donut shop with a bad taste in my mouth. You probably won't run into the issues I had with this place if you don't order coffee, or at least don't add flavor to the coffee without being aware of the extra $1.50 charge in addition to the flavor charge. $1.50 isn't a lot of money to be tricked out of, but I won't be going back to this place out of principle. Which is kind of a shame, because the donuts are really good. read more

So although I have never visited this location, the company that I work for orders from here. We order the fritters which are a HUGE hit, because they have apple AND blueberry! The old fashions, french donuts, custard filled, a blueberry dansih are the types that I have had. And there bran muffins are actually pretty good! I like them, but I have had better donuts, these are just average.... Hopefully I can visit soon and post a better yelp :) read more

Tried this place a few weeks ago, but went to Frost shortly afterwords, which may have colored my perception a bit. Overall the doughnuts were pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. I did like that they had a variety of fritters (beyond just the normal apple variety), but they were a bit dry. I went later in the day, which might have made a difference. I was a little worried about the talk of the "donut nazi", but everyone there was friendly and chatty, I thought the service was great. read more

Amazing donuts, even better customer service! They just gained a customer for life. I ate 5 donuts and each kind was perfect- light, airy raised rings; soft, pillowy cake donuts; buttery, dense old-fashioned's. BUT what happened next left me astonished: My wallet fell out of my purse in the parking lot and a customer returned it to the store. Gary (the owner?), tracked me down and left a note on my doorstep telling me it was safe and waiting for me a the shop... And I live 6 miles away. Their donut quality is superb, but their kindness is even more impressive. read more

We've gone here for years, ever since moving into the neighborhood and they have delicious donuts. The ladies behind the counter can be curt when they're busy, but they're actually really nice and sweet and remember my kids every time. Their buttermilk donuts are the best I've ever had, and their fritters are definitely in the top 3. They also have flavors not normally found at most shops, like banana, blueberry & blackberry. They also make a huge Homer Simpson sized classic glazed that is always a hit with kids. Their most popular flavors can go quickly, so if you don't get around to getting there before noon then you might not get exactly what you want. read more

The best fritters and cruller's I have ever tasted! The ambiance is somewhat lacking, but what they are missing in atmosphere, they make up for in taste, freshness and price. We go there whenever we have people staying over, or I want to bring a dozen to a group, or I just have a hankerin' for a real good pastry. They have very few tables and are very busy, so plan on take-out. read more

This is one of those rare doughnut shops that I was happy to eat food from; in fact, I would say that it is tied with Westernco Donut for best doughnuts in the region. With cheap prices, only a couple of disappointments, and no doughnuts that were actively bad, this is about as good as it gets. Service-wise, the shop is efficient and cheap, though not very friendly. Of course, this is not a sit-down establishment so the quality of service is not a huge deal (unless it is terrible). To get the disappointments out of the way: - The raised dough (slightly bitter, but totally acceptable flavor-wise) ranges from a bit dry to irritatingly dry, though it was never tear-inducingly dry in the way that Ky's Donuts' dough is - The crullers are simultaneously a slightly dry, not really crisp, not really rich, and not really sweet - a bit like eating paper Okay, that sounds a bit bad for a 5-star shop, but here is what is good: - The blueberry icing is flavorful - The Boston cream doughnuts have excellent cream - the best in town (if only they put more of it in the doughnuts) - The old fashioneds have good flavor and are soft and moist with crispy glaze; their form is not perfect and their crust is a bit soft, but they are clearly among the best around - The apple fritters are sweet and rich with soft interiors and crispy exteriors - The buttermilk bars are essentially perfect Most places completely botch the old fashioneds and a lot struggle with bitter fritters and sour cream, but Factory Donuts surmounts all of these hurdles without having any major problems. read more

I arrived before 9:00 AM and they were out of donuts. I posted their business on FB to help them. Oooops!

These are the best donuts in Kirkland period, especially the buttermilk bars. Jenny the owner loves to see families and repeat customers and she's always been accommodating to us. We love that they have a variety of milk available (because what goes better with a donut). This is definitely a famiky favorite for us all, and a staple of the Kingsgate community. read more

I am rating this for what it is - a donut shop. Nothing fancy here. Just a wide variety of donuts that are both delicious and not particularly good for you. But if you need the occasional fix of what is considered traditional american donut faire - you will be hard pressed to find a better selection, value, or taste. I don't go often anymore as health is a priority but handles the donut fix once every couple months nicely. Don't go here for the coffee as you can get better elsewhere. I would appreciate it if they offered the fritters with less of a dose of sugar glaze as an option. It can be daunting. read more

I have been going to this donut shop since they opened over 20 years ago! The best in town!

Best fritters I have tasted so far. The donuts are always fresh and it always great to support a small local business.

We have been to 5 other donut places and this store by far has the best donuts!! We will visit again for sure!

Rude service doesn't make it worth the trip. I will support other small, family owned donut shops as there are plenty to choose from.

Specifically asked for assorted donuts including the ones on the right side, but the lady just put the same cheap ones (from the left side) in all 3 boxes. Shouldnt have spent $50 for this, frustrated! I'll stay away from this place from now on. read more

I've been coming here for three years. Despite the snappy and rude disposition of the owner woman, the donuts are very good and the price is fair. Today however she must have been in a particularly bad mood. She tried to put my donuts in a box that previously had bagel dogs in it (I watched her take them out). I asked for a box that didn't have meat and cheese items in it for my donuts. She threw a fit and angrily (I mean scary angry) threw the box down, grabbed another and then shouted angrily at me repeatedly for my order. Cross contamination is not acceptable for a food establishment and puts to question their back of the house procedures. Treating your paying customers this way is also not acceptable. You lost a customer today. read more

Wow I can't believe how rude the woman was when we came in today. The donuts were fine, nothing to write home about. I will never come back here! I don't understand how people are so rude to their customers. read more

Donuts are fantastic! As a regular over the years I can say that the lady behind the counter is a real sweetheart. However, you do have to speak loudly as she cannot hear over the counter well with the noise going on behind her. If she has gotten an order wrong I'm sure it wasn't intentional. read more

Delicious donuts! The store is nothing to look at, but give their donuts a taste and you'll be hooked. I take these into work every once in a while. I get lots of compliments on how good they are (and it's fun to see their face when they find out it's not from one of the more popular pretentious donut places.) The customer service ranges from Soup Nazi to mildly friendly, but it's part of what makes the place endearing. Be on your A game when you're ordering and don't mess around and you'll be fine. read more

Rude owner. She actually yelled at me to pay even though I was still finalizing my choices. To make matters worse, she kept pointing to the door and saying, "you go out." Seriously, the worst service!! I've been here before and wondered if the rude service is the norm and it is. Today was busier than normal, but that is no reason to rush your customers. Makes no sense. This was the last straw. Never going back as their donuts are not worth it. The glazed raised donut varieties I bought all had too much salt taste. Go to Safeway and get better donuts. The only thing they have going for them is the varieties. The donuts may look good, but they don't taste good. read more

Our family's favorite donut shop in Kirkland! Light and airy (raised) donuts. Also, they have donut holes which are my favorite!
