Half-and-half donut company is a fairly new doughnut Co. in Seattle, and I was excited to try them! They have some smallish donuts that they call balm's, which are filled and very delicious. I had a chocolate peanut butter balm which was very rich and delicious, as well as a Pineapple fritter which was a bit sweet (I know, a strange criticism for a doughnut, but apples really do make the best fritters in my opinion). The service was friendly and efficient, and this donut shop really stands out for their unique flavors which will surprise and delight even the most discerning doughnut aficionado. Check it out!! read more

Oh hell yes! It was national donut day AND my first Friday at my new job so NATURALLY I had to get donuts. This adorable spot is just tucked into the shops and I'm SO thankful their sandwich board alerted me they were there. I, folks, am a donut connoisseur. Like Homer Simpson, I am a lover and supporter of the pastry sciences. I LOVE ME SOME ! I got a mix including a bomb.com Bananas Foster filled situation but really loaded up on the old fashioned with flavors and DAMNIT THEY WERE AMAZING. It seems like one of was called "Have a Better Day" and you know, I tried it and I did! Almond Joy, some kind of cookies and cream magic, all so good but...Raspberry was the winner!! I want 5 more please. This is my new favorite donut place in Seattle so I'll see you there! read more

Their old fashioned donuts are great. Really liked the Cinnamon one. The filled cream donuts are good too. read more

I've tried a lot of the more hyped Seattle doughnuts and these are my favorite. The whipped fillings are fantastic, especially the Marocchino and Nocciolata. We also love the La Canela old fashioned donut with our coffee. I haven't tried their coffee, but the Pull spring lever espresso machines are pretty rare to see in the wild and super cool for any espresso gear geeks. Service is always friendly and answers questions respectfully. Highly recommended for anyone else who loves sweet fried dough. read more

Ever small homie spot located in a very lively artsy part of Seattle. When I first walked in I was overwhelmed by the delicious smells of baked goods this place had. Then I was EVEN MORE overwhelmed by the delicious selection of donuts they had. Not only were they beautiful and well crafted donuts(truly a work of art), but they were just as delicious as they looked. I ate an Old Fashioned and I think some kind of almond vanilla donut. AGAIN, delicious.! ...it was a little sweet for my buds but how soft and fresh the donut tasted and how the flavors melted in my mouth is what did it for me. D-LISH read more

From the outside, it really stands out. It looks like a cute European cafe but the inside is a little underwhelming. It lacks charm. Instead it's kind of depressing. The staff was ok. Again, they said hello and served us but lacked the charm that you often find in neighborhood spots. The donuts. We came in late to only was able to order the espresso filled and banana foster. They were again... okay. Nothing really memorable. I live in the neighbourhood but doubt I'll be back. read more

Wanted a donut for breakfast this morning and figured I'd try a new place. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and I really enjoyed my donut (the Georgette). The texture and flavor were perfect. I also got an americano and really liked the espresso (more so than most places I've been to). I'll definitely be returning. read more

In my opinion, the only donut worth eating is an old fashioned donut and this place has a variety of really great ones - slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and not too sweet. We also tried a couple flavors of filled bombas and they were honestly just as good, if not better. Highly recommend the marocchino filled one, it's an espresso-like flavor, not maraschino cherry as I was initially skeptical of lol read more

Tried this spot for the first time the other week. I got a Marocchino filled, the georgette and a pineapple fritter. The marocchino cream was AMAZING. It's sweet so pair it with a coffee. The georgette was very soft and pillowy. Watch out for crumbs though. The pineapple fritter was just okay. I think I prefer regular apple fritters. I saw a photo of a cronut on ig and was hoping to get one. I didn't know the name, so I asked the woman if there was anything that had already sold out since I didn't see it. She said nothing sold out, so I thought it might be seasonal but later I messaged them and they said it's not seasonal just some creams are. So maybe I'll have to go earlier to grab one. read more

The old fashioned doughnut is impressive, it becomes my favorite doughnut!!! It's not too sweet and the texture is great! I went there 6 in the morning, there was no one, I really enjoy the environment. I wish they can have more kinds of sandwiches! Will visit again for the doughnut!! read more

Absolutely amazing. The coffee is always yummy. All of the donuts are delicious. My favorite is the CRONUT. It's the best donut I ever had. The creamy filling is the best part read more

popped in here for some post-brunch donuts because when you're already indulging, you might as well over-indulge, right? right. the aesthetic fits the top pot/sun liquor tiki, old fashioned theme very harmoniously, and overall it's a cute spot. the tables and chairs outside are tastefully weathered and vintage-y. but i couldn't help but roll my eyes at the window display and collection of old school for-purchase candies and items along the wall. it's very very silly. no one's going to buy those things, likely, and the window display is totally over the top. but if you can get over those silly choices, you're in for a great doughnut or other baked treat! what i appreciated most about these, having had a lot of top pot in my day, are the fun flavors. it's like as if top pot opened a test kitchen. trust your gut and step out of your comfort zone! i shared some gingerbread scones, which were nicely spiced. a little dry, but well-frosted. great amount of zest and flavor overall. a mouthful of winter. and i got the two bombs (mini raised doughnuts). yeasted ones are my favorite, so i may be biased as to how good these were. very chewy and dense and also not heavy. dough has a nice flavor. they had sweet potato (which came with three bruleed mini marshmallows on top!) and bananas foster. both were fantastic. the bananas foster though was kind of lacking in its banana, but the bruleed sugar top was so so good. i'll be back if i'm looking to indulge my sweet tooth! read more

Delicious. The donuts were fresh and a unique selection to choose from. We got the Almond joy old fashioned and chocolate hazelnut bomba. The old fashioned donut was still so moist and excellent flavor. The bomba was soft and had plenty of filling. Overall delicious and would recommend a stop in! read more

I tried the apple fritter, it was not good and I ended up putting in the garbage can... I love deserts so much and we have so many good ones in the neighborhood that I dont see why should I eat "bad carbs and sugars" if they are not magnificent. And this place certainly is not. You have a few better options, including Top Pot and R&R really close by. Also Rodeo donuts.... all better options. read more

I'm hoping that my review isn't solely a product of hype, but I had been super excited for this opening since the moment I found out about it months ago. I did go opening day and have been back several times since. The first thing I couldn't help but notice was that there wasn't a single maple option available on the menu. There are so many chocolate options, but, even my chocolate obsessed girlfriend knows, maple is best when it comes to doughnuts. Still, I tried their chocolate and Mexican chocolate old fashioned doughnuts as well as a banana foster and pineapple fritter doughnut. Me and my girlfriend were impressed by none of the four doughnuts. As much as I hate typing this, the doughnuts did have a bit of a stale texture, as if they'd been cooked well before. I went back again to try their cinnamon sugar and vanilla old fashioned doughnuts. I had much bigger expectations for these since they were more my style. I still ended up disappointed. The cinnamon sugar tasted very much like butter and the vanilla suffered the same issues as the other old fashioned. I'm hoping that things will get better eventually, but this was definitely a disappointment. read more

A cute place with good coffee and even better donuts. Being from "back east" I am used to apple fritters (they are at just about every donut shop and bakery).... But pineapple fritters?!? Wow! Everything I love about an apple fritter: the fried dough, the fruit, the glaze.... but kicked up a notch with the tang of lots of yummy pineapple bits. Wow! The offerings change frequently... and the others I had bites of (maple cinnamon and mocha cream) were both tasty too... so whatever is in the case, I'm sure, will be good. read more

This is a very small hole in the wall off of north Pike in the Capitol Hill district. The types of doughnuts are not plentiful compared to a grocery store but you will get a nice variety if you like doughnuts. Coffee drinks are available and the place is very dog friendly. Usually, the person behind the counter will provide dog treats. There is only 2 seats available if you want to sit inside which is the only downside. read more

This new, small-ish spot just opened last week. Super friendly staff + a good neighborhood vibe. TL;DR: While this is a doughnut shop, I probably wouldn't return for the doughnuts since they were sorta unimpressive... but I'll be back for the biscuits! Here's what I tried: - Banana Foster Bomb ($2.25): Basically a mini stuffed doughnut hole. I think it's a brioche dough, but it was somewhat "tough," not the soft and pillowy texture I was expecting. However, the creamy filling was delicious, and I definitely could have used more of it. - Vanilla Old Fashioned ($2.75): Missed the mark: the texture was oddly crumbly/powdery? Not too sure how to describe it. Go to Top Pot or somewhere else for an old fashioned. - Pineapple Fritter ($3.95) The best out of the three donuts I tried. Pineapple chunks throughout, not too sweet, and a rich, deep caramelized flavor. - Biscuit w/ Marionberry Jam & Butter ($4.50): This biscuit is divine and what's really propelling my overall rating here. Get it warmed up! Extremely buttery and flaky: it has the crispy edges yet tender inside. Combine that with a fruit jam that's not overly sweet and more butter, and it's simply a winning combo. One of the best biscuits I've had!! read more

I was so excited to try a donut from here on our food crawl through Seattle! I was especially excited to try the Passion fruit Old fashioned, after recently returning from Hawaii and being enamored by anything Passion fruit/Lilokoi flavored! This donut was very flavorfu,l but felt too flavorful especially since the Passion fruit flavoring tasted a little artificial read more

Oooookay these are some of the best donuts Seattle as has to date! They're a little crispy, airy, and uniquely flavored. If you want to try all the donuts on a weekend, go around 8am (most of cap hill isn't even awake yet). I love that they offer bomb versions of some of their flavors; it's just a smaller version if you don't want to commit to an entire donut yourself! The bananas foster and Bismarck cherry fillings are so different than your typical cream fillings - they're almost marshmallow fluff texture which I really enjoy. Overall, these aren't your typical donut! Don't expect your usual donut flavors and eat with an open mind ;) read more

Would order again: - Triple Chocolate Old Fashioned ($3.55) - Passionfruit Old Fashioned ($3.55) Would not order again: - Pomegranate Old Fashioned ($3.55) -- doesn't have a strong flavor, other than having some tartness - Vanilla Old Fashioned ($3.55) -- too sweet - Pineapple Fritter ($4.50) -- meh, a bit sweet read more

Attentive and kind staff, great food, great menu options, even better decor. Come here for the vibe and for a good donut. Got a dirty chai with a chai old fashioned. Check this place out for sure read more

Such a great find in a cute neighborhood! It was so hard to choose what to get because the case was stocked with some great options. I ended up going with a maple pecan fritter (seasonal) and a banana filled doughnut and both were delicious! The maple pecan fritter wasn't very sweet and the banana one had a smooth cream in the middle that totally spilled out but it was worth the mess. They have a pretty good coffee offering as well, which was a nice compliment to the doughnuts. It's pretty small inside, so if you want to sit and enjoy your yummy purchases, you'll need to sit outside at some tables they have on the sidewalk. The overall aesthetic is really fun and they have some great decor around. It's well worth a stop if you're in the area (especially for those looking for a sweet compliment to their coffee from the Starbucks reserve down the street!). read more

Service was ok, donuts were good. The aesthetic was nice and had good photo opportunities, though I was unable to take those photos

Finally a place that has good chai lattes! I've tried so many coffee shops in Seattle but this one takes the cake for best chai ! Keep up the good work! read more

Doughnuts taste like they are made fresh, my Latte was better than expected and customer service was awesome. I went in on a hot Saturday with the sun out walking for awhile with kids and the first thing they asked us when we came in was if we would like some water before even asking if we were going to order anything. read more

Delicious donuts. Worth the walk up the hill. It only makes you want more! We had the passion fruit old fashioned.

Wow! These are so good and fancy but not overly fancy. They are so beautifully made and not too sweet. Not greasy tasting. We had 3 old fashioned, a pineapple cronut and an espresso creme filled one. AmaZing and light. The shop is so cute and the staff was so nice. Also, the waxed box is genius! It was pouring rain and the rain just rolled off the box and held its shape from the shop to the link station. No doughnuts were harmed or soggy ! Worth it! read more

I'm just going to say what everyone else is afraid to say: these are the best donuts in Seattle. I've been in a number of times and have tried most of the regular donuts and I often try their rotating specials. There are just so many gems: Banana Foster, Maple Cinnamon, Marocchino, Chai old fashioned, and the seasonal special Caramel Apple fritter. Today I was in and, while I was only looking for a donut, found myself lured by the sandwich special: salami, mole, cotija, and caramelized onions on a biscuit. It was fan-freaking-tastic. Not sure how long they'll be available but I recommend getting yourself one. Sorry I have no pictures to share: I always eat the donuts too fast. read more

These tasted like day old donuts and nothing special. Only had 6 donuts for 20.00 way over priced. We threw half of them all away.

I love their bombas! So delicious. The other doughnuts are a bit too big and a bit too sweet for me to finish. I do love splitting a banana foster with a friend though! read more

I am amazed how a one story building from 1926 can withstand the test of time and house a 2019 donut shop. The unique characteristics stands out amongst the bland cookie cutter developments within its radius. I walked up to the dentil trim brick structure. The vertical glass windowed door was propped open. I saw the empty display case. The employee at the counter broke the news to me that all the donuts had been bought up and had none to sell. A sad moment for anyone who had taken a #11 bus trip up here hoping to try these donuts. He apologized and told me there would be more tomorrow morning. I had to take something away. I chose something non tangible. I asked him what the company's logo stood for. He told me to look outside of the building as I would see a mosaic of a 4-leaf clover. Their luck is on their side as all the donuts were sold out. I have no reason to give them a bad review for not having any donuts. Donut makers have to get up before the break of dawn to make fresh batches. It's a culinary profession I have much respect for as they are dedicated to put their product out for the early morning risers. With that said I'll have to return at a better hour and cross my fingers the donut case is plentiful. read more

So delicious, the bombs were good but really rich, not fully my thing. My favorites were the old fashioned. The triple chocolate was so dense and the cinnamon maple has a wonderful flavor read more

I stopped in to do a quick donut and coffee run for my coworkers and I. The decor is seasonal and appealing. All the staff is so sweet. I got a chocolate hazelnut and a chocolate pumpkin donut.

Will definitely be making it a weekly tradition since they're only a couple blocks away! read more

The most incredible donuts I've ever had, hands down. Other donut shops in Seattle don't come close. The banana foster is incredible--the flavor is perfectly sweet and creamy, and the honeycomb top is delightfully crunchy. The old fashioned donuts have a really satisfying, almost crispy exterior with a soft, almost buttery inside. The pineapple fritter is properly jammy and sticky and a really refreshing change from the more classic apple fritters. Run, don't walk to get yourself a box. read more
