    My Apple Fritter & Chocolate Bavarian Cream was bomb. The customer service was fast and on point. This spot Will definitely be my go to when visiting Seattle. The inside is "cute"

    Tried out King donuts which seems to have moved locations, surprisingly tasty bites for sure. Very cute interior with lots of seating. The employees are super friendly and helpful. Ordered a half dozen and some donut holes. We ate them pretty quick, no donut hole left behind! They have coffee and other drink options along with merch for their store. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. We drove about 45 min to try them out, would I do that again, probably not but if I'm in the area yes!

    Love, visiting King donuts. Such a delicious selection. I especially love the old-fashioned donuts, the apple fritters and the bacon maple bars. The decor is whimsical and fun. the new coffee machine is beautiful and makes a great cup of Joe. We also had an iced latte. we also really enjoy all the specialty flavors like Ube and mango when available.

    Ordered some donuts ahead of time for a 2 year olds birthday party. Service was quick and easy! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. The donuts were delicious!

    Very good donuts. Super soft, light and fluffy donuts. Not dense or oily. Not too sweet either. I recommend the cinnamon sugar twist that came with a caramel drizzle and sea salt on top. When I went at around 11, there was only a small selection so next time I will try to show up earlier. $15 including tax for the half dozen assorted. Will be back

    Does anyone know if they have free WiFi?

    Yes that have it up on the wall at the counter

    Do they have breakfast? They come up in Yelp as a breakfast place, but donuts aren't breakfast - like ice cream isn't dinner.

    No, it is just doughnuts & coffee. They have Thai food & Teriyaki also though.

    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.

    I love cake donuts! And Mighty-O has the best cake donuts, ever. Period…read more I love a good fresh warm cake donut, not too dense. Fluffy with a perfect touch of sweetness.

Great friendly service from the tram. A must try!

I tried the passionfruit creme brulee donut, and though a bit pricey ($6), it was worth the money. The top of the donut had that perfect creme brulee torched top, and the passion fruit inside was perfectly tangy, which offset the fattiness from the donut itself. It wasn't very sweet, but I kinda liked that. The other flavors on the menu also looked great. I hear they rotate their menu often. There is nowhere to sit here, so be prepared to take your donuts to go. The shop does sell some beverages, like water or milk, to help you get in the donut mood. The service on my visit was fine. The gentleman working was nice enough, but nothing to write home about. Overall, a good donut shop if you're looking for speciality donuts and don't mind the higher price tag.

The crème brûlée with passion-fruit inside was not good to me... There was a weird/bitter aftertaste which I did not enjoy. The tiramisu wasn't great as well. Very strong coffee flavor at the top. I forgot what the pink one was but it was pretty good! Sweet and definitely enjoyable. The ambiance is decent. The art on the walls are nice. The service was good. We had the donuts prepped quickly and our questions answered.

The croissant was on the crispier side, especially with the almond crumble on top it was a bit too cripsy for me, but I tend to like soft and flakey pastries so it's probably a matter of taste. 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.
