It took 25 minutes to get one beverage in the drive thru. There was no one in front of me. The woman in the drive they window claimed they just got super busy inside and that's why it took so long. Usually you serve customers in the order they arrive, but what do I know? The service was not good at all. I would probably never return even though she offered a free drink as consolation for my long wait. The espresso in my drink is really delicious (hence the 2 stars) but I would never wait 25 minutes for coffee. read more

Doughnuts and coffee are good a bit expensive, around $30 for a dozen doughnuts- I could only order 6 !

I just can't. I'll start by saying the doughnuts are fabulous! But my gosh, you will wait In the drive-thru for 25+ plus minutes. Which makes no sense as everything is already made... they literally just have to grab a doughnut(s) and put it in a bag/box? They have got to figure out a better strategy than this one. Highly recommend ALWAYS walking in if you have a doughnut craving. Just ridiculous! read more

Came in this morning to get a drive thru latte, it was easy to order and all that. I specifically asked the barista to put raw sugars for my coffee before he could start as I wanted it in my flask. I reminded again before giving it, to my disbelief he nodded twice and completely forgot to add them. I had to drink my coffee on the go and it was not that good at all. For the $5 I paid, I neither got a good cuppa nor it tasted good. My first time at Top Pot, never coming in again read more

This has got to be one of the most random outposts of Top Pot. It's literally a random blue building in the middle of a huge parking lot, but they do brisk business. The lines can be slow if you arrive at a peak time, but the doughnuts are always fresh, and the coffee's always hot. read more

Nice friendly staff in a location that is easy to get to with plenty of parking. The product that they put out is about as good as you can buy. If you are traveling by on I90 this location is easier to get to thank you might think. And it is SO worth the stop. Great coffee and the interior is kept very clean. read more

Doughnuts are delicious here but the drive-through wait is pretty miserable. Waited in a not-so-long line at the drive thru but it took forever to get through -35 mins! Not dinging them for it but just be aware that the drive thru wait can take a long time. read more

It's okay. Heavy. The kids like it, so if I'm just trying to get something for them quick and it isn't busy, I'll get it for them. We're from California and I feel like the donuts we are used to are light and fluffy and airy. These just feel heavy and bready. I don't get it. Lots of donuts places out here seem to be like that. For myself, all I'll ever eat from here is a glazed old fashion, even then, it's okay. read more

This is the Starbucks of Donut shops, where a dozen donuts cost $21 and a regular 20oz coffee cost $3.50. Oh how I miss Dunking Donuts right now. The place was packed so must be normal to spend that much. The coffee was okay nothing to rave about, I apologize if I sound cheap but being from the east coast. We would never spend that type of money for a regular coffee or for designer donuts. read more

This location has a drive thru, which may be a plus for some. I'm not a huge doughnut fan and even so, I don't think Top Pot has the best doughnuts. The best doughnuts are freshly made and these aren't made in house. They do have some killer zucchini bread and some of the best coffee around. This location also boasts Top Pot ice cream. I'll definitely be back with the kids to try that out! Great meeting spot. read more

The first time I heard about this place was on some foodie show. After seeing that episode, top pot doughnut was on my 'MUST TRY' list. I must say I wasn't much impressed with the doughnuts. The doughnuts did not taste fresh and they did not have a their entire selection available in store. They were out of feather boa (raspberry) and just had 1 feather boa chocolate. We also tried raspberry glazed chocolate, raised chocolate ring and double dare.. The best was the feather boa! Maybe they did not have availability of all kinds because we went there On December 31st. Haven't given up On this place yet.. Will try it out again maybe in the morning when I suspect they'd have more options available. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Donuts Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

This location is not the best. They advertised blueberry fritters on the door and had none. In fact, they didn't have any fritters available. Our next choice was an old fashioned glazed donut, but they were out of those too. Out of the limited selection, we went with a salted caramel old fashioned. The donut was okay in flavor, but it was stale. We also wanted to try the small scoop of vanilla with a shot of espresso. Once again, they were out of vanilla. Out of vanilla ice cream and the donuts they are known for, nice. We thought, since they were out if apple fritters, we'd satisfy our craving with apple fritter ice cream. It had no flavor. The espresso dominated the cup. We think chocolate or salted caramel would be a better option, if they aren't out when you go. The shop lady's where cute and helpful. read more

Staff is always pleasant, very local vibe. Coffee and their "Fogs" are always good, and their old fashioned donuts always seem fresh. Punch card is a nice plus. read more

I have a theory that this building sits on top of a burial ground (or, possibly, the lost continent of Atlantis) because every restaurant that's been here has closed: Rock'n'roll burger, Mondo's, Su Familia, ... And now there's a Top Pot. And I hope they end the trend. On my recent visit, I asked them to "surprise me" with four hand-selected, hand-forged donuts. At the window, the lady related they thought it might be funny if they went with plain ones, but picked their favorites. And they were all awesome. At four million calories each, it's an occasional, but enjoyable indulgence. read more

My wife has a sentimental connection to a certain big East Coast donut company. That company's donuts taste good in the mouth, but leave an aftertaste. But Top Pot matches the good in-mouth taste without the aftertaste. Yum! But what about _this_ Top Pot? I've been here twice, once when it was overflowing with people during a parade (before I started doing Yelp check-ins), and then today. When it was busy, the space behind the counter was bustling with employees, and it was impressive that they didn't collide with each other. They also had people out on the customer side, keeping things clean. The lines were long, but they moved as fast as people could make up their minds on their orders. The donuts were good, and the employees were smiling. Today, my wife and I were the only customers (though a couple others drove up as we were leaving). We took turns ordering because we had a sleeping child in our car, and the employee (working alone, it appeared) accommodated us efficiently and pleasantly. My wife had a coffee, in spite of it being a bit past her usual caffeine hours, and said that it was good. And of course the donuts were good. read more

Dropped by Top Pots to pick up an apple fritter. It was crunchy on the outside while being light and fluffy with apple chunks on the inside. Was not greasy at all. I should had bought a dozen! read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Apple fritter! - Donuts Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

It's the only place I go to for donuts in Issaquah, and though its location is smaller than most, I'd rather go here than anywhere else. The service is usually quick, as they usually have about three staff on duty. There's also a drive-thru that has come in handy when I've been too lazy. One time I came during the morning of Blue Friday around 7:30AM, and took the last dozen of Seahawks donuts in vanilla and chocolate. They told me to pre-order next time because several employees of Costco and other offices get dozens of the Hawks donuts. And that was at 7:30AM. It was a good tip - and from now on, I pre-order them a few days before Blue Friday. read more

This building looks like an old fast food drive in and is really cute. The drive through was very convenient, the young man serving us very cordial and the donuts super good. I was surprised that they had apple fritters left on Saturday afternoon. I often go to the nursery and the medical building which are nearby. I may just have to feed my apple fritter obsession more often. read more

Expensive, service was ok, so-so donut. The only thing good about this place is the location. Not much of selection of the donut and the density of the donut is so thick felt like eating a mouth full of dough. Way overcharge for donut this quality ... read more

I want to like this place a lot because it's minutes from where I live plus I appreciate its quirky architectural structure but every time I come here the donuts are cold and a little on the dry side. It's much more cakey and thick than light like Krispy Kreme but I suppose some people prefer that. Tastes good with a cold glass of milk. My favorite is salted caramel and plain chocolate when I'm really hungry for something sweet but as far as comparisons go, I would easily go elsewhere if it was farther away from me. Staff is really sweet and kind and parking is abundant which is good. Maybe you have to go right when they open. Typically I go mid afternoon and I am left wondering if the donuts I got were from the early morning batch. read more

There was a line full of cars, so I went inside and was IGNORED for 20 minuets with 3 people in front of me also being ignored. 30 mins total waiting for my drop coffee and two donuts... NO APLOGY. NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN. YOUR customer service is negligent at best. read more

Top Pot is basically a shack in the middle of a huge parking lot. The place gets super busy on the weekends. The service is a little slow and again this is due how busy they get. The coffee is strong and the donuts are ok. Although they serve the donuts out of a stacked pastry tray on wheels, they don't actually make the donuts on site. If you're cold and stuck in Issaquah, then stop by at this place and check them out. read more

I tried to like this place. Unfortunately, I'm always extremely disappointed by their quality of drinks. My most recent purchase was an Italian soda and it's disgusting! I basically received water. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Raspberry Italian Cream Soda - Donuts Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

So the reason for the two start review is because my wife and I stopped by at 2pm on a Sunday and we walked into the shop and it was like a ghost town! No customers in the shop and there was one employee sweeping. The display cases were empty and all the trays were dirty with no doughnuts in sight! I asked the gal if they were closing, and she replied with "no, we are just out of doughnuts" So...a doughnut shop is out of doughnuts? With 4 hours of business hours left in the day?! I understand that sometimes demand is hard to predict, but it seems like extremely poor planning! Also, is it not possible to make more? Why doesn't the shop just close? I saw many customers that came up to the drive through while we were there who quickly just drove on their way, empty handed like me! I must say, "I love Doughnuts!" I really like to patronize local businesses rather than chain doughnut shops, but unfortunately, this shop isn't worth it!! I've had the doughnuts several times at work, and they have been good, but nothing better than Safeway or basic grocery stores (and twice the price...) read more

Excellent donuts ! Staying across the street at Marriott Spring Hill. Great coffee and customer service!

Top Pot is great to grab a coffee and donuts at, but this place is extra-awesome since its got a drive-thru window during the cold winters! Definitely grab a fritter, they are huge! read more

I stopped by here on my way to work to get some donuts for my coworkers and breakfast. I picked the drive thru thinking it would be faster. The way the light reflected on the rain covering the menu made it impossible to even read. I had to get out of my car with a napkin just to even be able to read it. A dozen donuts was $19.99 which I feel is pretty pricey. I also ordered a bacon and egg pie for myself which was $3.99, also overpriced. I waited about 10-15 minutes just to have the pie that was likely frozen before warmed up and when I got it it was still cold on the inside. It was very bland tasting. The woman was very friendly but I think she was the only one working and there was a line behind me and inside that I could see from the drive thru. I won't be coming back here. read more

Pretty cool place. Donut was good but a little on the pricey side. They are pretty busy and by the time i was ordering most of the ones i wanted to order where gone. read more

Save your money and get a doughnut that tastes exactly the same from a Safeway or any grocery store. $2.30 for a doughnut that is not fresh and no bigger than normal. Ice cream was freezer burnt. Neat atmosphere inside but just highly overpriced for doughnuts tasting previously frozen. Next. read more

First of all the donuts are so so and second of all, as if to add insult to injury- the people that I have encountered here are very rude and could care less about their customers! WOW! Top Pot perhaps it's time you reevaluate your guiding principals?? read more

Been here a few times and have to say the donuts are nothing special. Best part is that it's drive thru.

Sooooo...they don't make the doughnuts here. After going to the Krispy Kreme in Issaquah for the last 10 years, I found it odd. Also, because the doughnuts are delivered, they had a limited selection and ran out of some of the varieties. I will say their apple fritter was AMAZING, probably the best one I've ever had. However, the other doughnuts were pretty dry. Also, holy crap! These are some pretty expensive doughnuts! For me, I'll probably stick to Krispy Kreme and Safeway doughnuts unless I have the overwhelming desire to eat an apple fritter. read more

I stopped by on a Thursday morning to pick up some doughnuts for my staff. The store is in a huge parking lot, close to the Issaquah park and ride, where other businesses have come and gone. I have a feeling that Top Pot will do a lot better. The store itself is still in a circular setting, but the windows let in an incredible amount of sunlight. There is also a drive thru attached to the store in case you want a quick way to get your coffee and doughnuts to go. I liked that they have a dozen doughnuts pre-packed to make it faster, although I think I would prefer picking the ones I really liked (i.e. maple bars). I got a dozen pre-picked ($18) and chose another six for $12. The doughnuts are a little more expensive, but they were a hit in the office. They also prepare some sandwiches to go as well. Top Pot is a welcomed addition to Issaquah, definitely. read more

I never liked donuts. In fact, I've spent my entire life not understanding what was so great about them. I tried Krispey Kreme, Dunkin Donuts, homemade donuts, but hated all of them. It was just sugary bread. It took a long time for me to bother with Top Pot, but when one opened down the street from my house I decided it was time to try it. Whatever "donuts" I have tried in the past aren't even of the same breed as these. They were delicious. I now completely understand what a "donut" is and why people enjoy them. The donuts are delicious! I am docking a star because they are expensive, and the service can be slow sometimes. But I love this place. read more

Wanted to give this location another shot. Wish I didn't. I was the only on in the drive thru. I ordered a drip coffee and old fasioned glaze doughnut. I drove up to the window and saw inside the woman talking to another coworker while my coffee was sitting on the counter. No one came to the window to greet me or to let me know it would be a little longer. I ended up waiting over 7 minutes for someone to greet me. I ended up leaving. Worst customer service. The employees could carr less. How do they still have jobs?? This woman should be fired!!! read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - Top Pot Doughnuts in Issaquah - Donuts Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

I give them a star for being open during labor shortages and another star for friendly service and another for having a good selection. However I can't recommend their donuts. They had a weird taste like rancid fat and they didn't live up to the flavors I ordered. The caramel chocolate donut looked gooey and yummy but lacked any caramel flavor and had the strange taste that wasn't caramel nor chocolate. The chocolate topped donut was ok but the frosting all stuck to the wax bag. The raised glazed was probably the best but it was not light and airy and heavy in texture. Perhaps it was an off day for them? I'd like to go back and give them another try but that rancid taste is kind of concerning. read more

Top Pot Doughnuts - View w a brew - Donuts Near Me - Issaquah, Washington

I eat clean and stay away from flour and added sugar. But if I'm going to treat myself a donut or pizza will be my cheat. And Top Pot is the place to get donuts. This location is a little off the beaten track in Issaquah, but it has a drive through. You don't even need to get out of your car to get the sugary jolt of baked goodness. We went Saturday mid-day and got a good selection of donuts, some to take home for the kids and some to eat on the way home. The selection was nice, even after having been open for a few hours. I love an apple fritter (it has apple in it, it has to be healthy, right?) and it is one of the benchmarks I use. Some places the apple fritter is greasy, but Top Pots was not. It was fresh, crisp and just the right amount of sweetness. I'm surprised that the Issaquah Krispy Kreme has more stars than this Top Pot. Reading through the other reviews, it seems that we lucked out and got reasonable service. Maybe we were just lucky with the time of day that we arrived. If you're in Issaquah and need donuts, Top Pot is the place to go. read more
