    Display of delicious donuts
    Ceci N.

    This shop is so nice such a vibe. Right along the street and open windows from floor to ceiling it has 2 stories so you can get your coffee and donut and sit and relax on the second floor. The donuts are great the coffee is amazing both were amazing. I kept going back everyday. The staff was ok during interactions they did know their regulars though so that was nice.

    Not sure why the low rating for this place?! Full disclosure, we're not locals. However, we make it a point to try the local donut shops everywhere we go. I personally had the chocolate Bavarian cream(Boston cream) and it was better than good!! Great dough, delicious chocolate frosting, and plenty of creamy delicious cream. Service was fast and friendly and good selection of donuts....what more can you ask for?!

    Almost gluten free bisuit with jam (half eaten)

    Had an unexpected stay at Swedish right by this location and was very happy to see this come up as an option. Such a great little shop, it is not very big however they laid it out well so it doesn't fewl cramped. I got an almost gluten free biscuit with jam and a mocha (made with ovaltine). I the biscuit was very good nice balance of tart from the jam and sweet of the biscuit. The mocha was very good, i have never had one made with ovaltine and am impressed at the taste. Bonus, it was topped of with a very pretty cream design. Both of the workers were very real and friendly. I know where I will be coming for coffee the next few mornings!

    Inside of the glazed old fashioned. No "tang" from buttermilk, and missing the crispy and crunchy exterior.

    I like to rate donut places based on the tried and true classics: a glazed old fashioned and a chocolate bar. I'm not sure if it's the Top Pot brand or just this location, but neither impressed me here. The glazes on both were standard & sweet, reminding me of a that on a typical mass produced donut. The old fashioned missed the mark as it lacked the crispy exterior, and the chocolate bar wasn't as fluffy as a good yeast donut should be. Overall, these were no better than a grocery store donut. I would recommend satisfying your sweet tooth elsewhere.

    Very expensive stale donuts. Not impressed. Mom and pop shops are way better and way cheaper.

    The Kings Ring - only once a year! (Thank goodness) its very very good.

    They never disappoint! The donuts are always a hit with coworkers. Large, thick and delicious! The service is friendly and I appreciated when I mentioned I wanted to share my donut they didn't try to upsell me just because...plus they know I'll be back! Loved the king's ring but my go to's are the apple fritter, the Bavarian and a good old fashioned glazed....diet be damned.

    Favorite donuts of all time. I live in NYC and literally bought a dozen donuts to take with me back to nyc to share. The old fashioned are the best and I will forever love this place. The maple is my favorite but the strawberry is amazing as well... they are all so good. Get the old fashioned and try as many as you can!! Amazing!! This location isn't as busy as others I've seen. So should be quick in and out.

    Nice selection

    This was my first time actually going to a Top Pot as I usually have their donuts when someone brings them in at my work. Easy to find location off Madison and easy to get to from Swedish, I was glad to finally make in here. I showed up after lunch time so the selection wasn't as filled but they had what I like and wanted to no complaints here. I went with their maple bar and maple old fashioned. Both were really tasty and still pretty fresh. Service took some time as the staff seemed to only have one person working. Prices were higher side but I expected that being in downtown. I would for sure eat the donuts but not sure I would make a special trip out here unless I was in the area and had a hankering for fried dough goodness.

    There were very few choices for donuts compared to the other locations I've been to. Up the selection, and I'd likely give a better rating.

    Huge disappointment for me. Bad coffee (stale, week) and the doughnut was almost cold, stale and nothing to write home about. Nice staff.

My friend and I went around 11:45 am on a Saturday and the line was around the block. We saw lots of groups give up and leave annnd even people driving by commented that it wasn't worth it. However, my friend had her eye on the banana pudding hojicha so we stayed. The inside is cute, very crowded so you definitely have to loiter for tables as they become available. I do love the little tables and chairs by the entrance, definitely a call out to the asian experience. For 3 drinks, our total was ~30 so with my tip, $34 dollars total. And for that price, it better be good....ALAS. That was wishful thinking because the matcha was watery, the cream top had almost no flavor and the entire drink was lackluster. My friend's hojicha was undrinkable imo though she said the banana pudding was the best part and saved the drink for her. We also got the phe keo -- caramel coffee with honeycomb which was the saving grace but also a tad too cloyingly sweet for me. This is not worth the line whatsoever in a city with 300 other matcha spots that are frankly better. Check it out if you want to decide for yourself, but it's a pass for me.

I noticed that they now pour drinks from a pre-made plastic jug instead of making them fresh like when the store first opened. I usually don't get sick from drinking coffee but twice in a row is pretty bad. Their drinks are also overly sweet and most of them do not have a 0% sweet option, which is usually what I order from other coffee and tea shops, and it's probably because most of the ingredients are pre-mixed. They also use thick plastic cups, considering that Seattle is a pretty green city and a lot of similar Vietnamese coffee shops use sustainable cups. Sad to say, but my time visiting this chain has come to an end.
