Great experience! The coffee paired perfectly with our donuts. Love the unique interior with all the bookshelves--it's so cozy and inviting. The staff was very welcoming and we had a wonderful time. A must-visit for any donut lover! read more

Top Pot Doughnuts is TOP. Maybe the only doughnut shop I've seen with a salted caramel old fashioned doughnut, this variety stole the show for me with its perfectly fried dough and indulgent icing. Other favorites were the raspberry glazed chocolate cake, maple frosted old fashioned, and cookies 'n cream. (Guess I have a sweet tooth). The employees were very friendly and it was super easy to place an order on their new app. I also love this location and the the beautiful bookcases - wow! Makes it difficult to take doughnuts to go when you can dine in and enjoy the pretty view. Additionally, the upper level seems perfect for those looking to get some studying or work done. I'll be back! read more

I was really trying to give this location a chance. For a while it got better, but today I tried getting a donut before work and there was a long line with only one barista working. She was doing her best but in the morning I need to get to work so I left. I tried coming back on my break but there was just a note on the counter and no one around. Is it just one person working there now? The hours are already so limited whenever I try to stop by they're closed. Ended up going across the street to the other coffee shop. Get it together Top Pot. The location by the ferry is usually better staffed and more selections but a bit far from my work. read more

I love donuts, so when I saw the lovely sign I just had to stop by!! It was just an average experience, but I would come again to get a fresh donut in the morning. The donut selection was down to a very few flavors around 4pm, which is not uncommon, so I definitely recommend getting there early because they don't seem to produce fresh donuts throughout the day. Perhaps the morning batch is the batch for the day. The lady at the counter was helpful and there was definitely a theme throughout the shop and their decor. The donut I had was just average, nothing special about it. read more

Favorite item: apple fritter, always worth a visit; to any location; near hotel in downtown Seattle

Amazing selection of donuts. I had the classic chocolate glaze which was moist and paired well with the coffee. Service was great. Our server politely let me know how much caffeine was in each drink. read more

Top Pot is located just across the street from our hotel and I keep on regretting the fact that we only tried it a day before we left. Their doughnuts are sizable and delicious but a bit on the pricier side -- I think it is worth the splurge though. I got the raspberry filled doughnut while the hubby got an old fashioned and a custard filled one. They don't scrimp on the fillings and the dough was soft and yummy. Glad we were able to try this place out. Definitely coming back for more next time we're in Seattle. read more

Loved them before. Love them even more with their current $2/donut special for their anniversary. Also, if you commit to a dozen, they knock an additional $2 off. Good cake and yeast donuts. Friendly and extremely patient staff willing to answer all my questions about all their donuts. The chocolate glazed donut was my favorite and it was GINORMOUS. read more

Yes! This location is finally open after a long hiatus. Hours are from 7am to 1pm. The outside of the store is a little sketchy however the inside is welcoming smelling of warm, comforting baked donuts. At $2 a donut you cannot go wrong with the sweet treat because they are dense, sugary and fresh. I ordered 6 donuts, each dipped in a glaze or cream covered in candied sprinkles. My favorite is the chocolate covered chocolate donut..you cannot stop eating at one bite. At first taste the chocolate melts in your mouth and despite feeling the calories pack on with each bite you keep on eating. Will return for a donut fix and at $2 a donut...it's worth the treat! read more

It's true: Southern California really is the authority on donuts. Top Pot is close to fitting the bill, though. Plus, there are multiple locations so it's not hard to get a decent donut fix in the Seattle area. Love their cake donuts! They are not dry, like they are at so many other places. read more

Standard donughts. While there wasn't a high selection I did arrive around 3pm I got the Raspberry Bismark which is a sugar sprinkled donut filled with raspberry jelly. I would have preferred a glazed raspberry filled one but there was only plain glazed. When I bit ito it I was disappointed that I didn't get any jelly. I bit I to it again and nothing. Insatarted to think it wasn't filled with anything. I got to half the donut and in the middle of the middle there was no jelly. One more bit to the side of the middle until I could see the jelly and only on one side While most of the donut had no jelly the little part that it did was super filled with it. (if they had spread it out more evenly it would be good). But I didn't taste it any different than one I could buy at grocery store. read more

As a doughnut connoisseur, I make it a point to try doughnuts in every city I visit. I am partial to a good, old fashioned cake doughnut (and rainbow sprinkles) which is why I got a variety of 6. It's a hard thing to mess up, and luckily they didn't. I especially enjoyed the lemon cake doughnut as the tang and the sweet was a wonderful combo. The wait was pretty long for an early weekday morning, but well worth it! I had heard the hype about Top Pot, and it took me a day to devour every variety I got and I believe it now! Paired with their coffee it made a great morning treat. The staff was okay, albeit slow, and the location was nice and small. Perfect for popping in and getting things to go, but not to stay. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Seattle! read more

Some of these donuts are soooo heavy. I tried a mix, with some of the larger (chocolate frosted) and some of the smaller (plain cake, cinnamon, frosted chocolate). And really the smaller plainer ones were my favorite. Plan to share some of the larger ones. read more

What the heck? I guess we have the big pink box of awful donuts here in Portland, so Seattle gets to have its own beloved local institution that truly sucks... I've eaten these from QFC and been truly unimpressed, but thought perhaps that fresh and made at their own store would be better. Nope, exactly the same, a typical grocery store donut. Even the old fashioned had no crispness to them and that's the whole point. Despite being in a high traffic location, the donuts were cold and lifeless. And the coffee? I've truly had better from the office sludge pot. Truly, a totally 7/11 experience. Blech. Maybe one of you knows a place as good as Donut Queen and Delicious Donuts here in PDX? Please let me know. Never going here again! read more

I work nearby and this Top Pot is a staple for Friday coffee + donut runs for my coworkers and me. They have a large variety of donut options (both classic and unique flavors). I usually pick something different each time and have enjoyed every option. Donuts are always fresh and tasty. The employees are friendly and one in particular remembers all of our coffee orders which is impressive! They have good alternative milk options and their oat milk latte has become my go-to. They also have a coffee punch card so if you come often enough, you'll get a free coffee fairly quickly. This is a solid choice for donuts and coffee if you're downtown! read more

One of our favorite local donut chains! This is a great location, friendly employees and the donuts are always fresh. They range around $3 per donut, a bit pricey but they are huge and filling. You can taste the quality of the ingredients making it a worthy splurge. read more

Sometimes you need a doughnut to go with your morning coffee....and this place has a pretty decent/ good doughnut. Depending on which kind you get, some are better than others. This location shares itself with an office building but it does have it's own entrance so you don't have to go through the lobby of the building, if that matters to you. I see this place pretty much every day as my bus stop is right there and sometimes it calls to me to grab a doughnut before & after work, and sometimes it ignores me and I ignore it back, which may be a good thing. The sprinkle doughnuts aren't my favorite as it's a little too plain for me because I like my doughnuts with a little razzle dazzle. But when I do want to tone it down, the chocolate glazed ol' fashioned does it's trick. It is pretty tasty, glaze-y and a little cake-y! Staff has always been nice & friendly, quick with a pair of tongs ready to grab the doughnut of your choosing. read more

MEH. Came here since a coworker said I should try it when I was in town. The place itself is in the great location and was very clean. However, the donut itself wasn't anything too out of the ordinary. I ended up getting the classic chocolate glazed flavor and while it was filling it wasn't anything that will make me come back when i'm in town. read more

Good donuts and coffee. My first visit I asked a gal about how a (morning glory) dirty chai sounds and she recommended it. Morning glory is one of those chais you don't really like on it's own but add "dirty" to it and it's actually pretty good. The space looks a bit too corporate & dull; hopefully its own flair will make its way into this location. read more

Tough call on this one. The doughnuts are a solid 4 or 5. Please come here for donuts. But the coffee was awful. I almost threw it in the bin on the way out. Bitter, no delicious flavour, poorly frothed milk. read more

Spectacular donuts! You must go there and get some of the specialty donuts. The donuts are delicious. Well worth the trip. And the coffee is good too. read more

The service is better than the donuts! My boyfriend loves donuts and being in Seattle we had to check this place out due to the recommendations we got. It was around 4 pm therefore there weren't many choices on donuts left. We tried their salted caramel and raspberry donut. Salted caramel donut (1/5)- Worst salted donut I have ever tried. It didn't even taste like salted caramel. Raspberry Donut (2/5)- The donut was dry and hard. Better than the salted caramel though. Such a disappointment because we were looking forward to having good donuts. I gave it two stars only because the service is excellent! The lady working at the counter was very warm and welcoming! read more

All I can say is these donuts are yummy. They have so many flavors! The donuts are fresh and sometimes still warm. I love that they use local fruits too. This location can get busy in the blink of an eye and they hustle to ensure everybody is helped quickly. You should try them. read more

The apple fritter was delicious!! It wasn't too sweet but it had the perfect sweetness to it. I love the edges with a little bit of crunch because inside is just doughy apple goodness.

Top Pot is close to my work. Before they opened, I wondered how I would make it each day without stopping in for a doughnut. As it turns out, it hasn't been a problem. The doughnuts are okay. I am disappointed zero baking occurs here. I'm more likely to catch a bus to Belltown to get a fresh one. The coffee is okay. The ice cream is a nice treat because no one else serves ice cream nearby. The space is nice but the entry way is host to a tripping hazard. There is yellow and black tape on it but honestly, I'm not exactly sure why they couldn't grade that appropriately. Originally, I thought they could use a few more seats but over time, it's become apparent that they don't need them. read more

Highlights: - Top Pot Doughnuts: Oh how I love thee, especially on a cold and drizzly day (Everyday?!) :) - Specialty Cake, old fashioned, feather boa, sprinkles, filled, and rings. So many doughnuts, so many choices, I want them all! - I settled on a raspberry glazed doughnut, which i scarfed down in seconds. Fluffy, sweet, goodness. - Love that they have a bunch of books to buy and other items. It literally looks like a library/cafe - They also have seasonal doughnuts with unique flavors that they offer (Bummed that most of them were all gone when I came). Improvements: - I also got tea to accompany my doughnut, since I was under the weather. I was sad that they were out of the tea that I wanted to try. Tip: Additional seating upstairs. read more

Breakfast of Champions now open on 3rd Ave in downtown Seattle. The store is smaller than some of the other locations, and they are still waiting to add a 2nd register into the mix so the line could get a little long. For the first day though the staff was totally on top of it and dealt with the issues head on. This is a great location for all of the people who work downtown and it should be an instant hit. read more

The short: decent doughnuts On my research of places to check out in Seattle, Top Pot is recommended as a place to check out. For me, there is nothing unique about the raspberry doughnut, though for a quick breakfast with some coffee for regulars, it may work. I was surprised to see this location has an entrance from a hotel! Very convenient for hotel guests. As for a Seattle favorite, sorry, I don't understand and will try to find other doughnut spots to help fulfill my doughnut craving. read more

The doughnuts are pretty good but I read some Yelp reviews that they aren't baked at this store??? Maybe that's why they were a little stale. I'm not a big fan of their dough; it's very very thick and a little dry. But man, their ovaltine filled donut was BOMB. it was sweet and actually made the dough a little less dry tasting. The coconut covered one was OK - nothing to special about it other than the coconut covering the donut. Service here was really awesome though! The lady who worked at the counter was super nice and helped us pick out our donuts. read more

Preface here, I don't eat donuts or doughnuts or however you want to spell them. I am from Boston and I am so sick of "dunkin donuts" that I avoid donuts like it is ebola. (Is that even a thing anymore?) However, that was until I was at an event and they served these donuts...did I mention I rarely eat sweets? Regardless, it was a party in my mouth. Fast forward to the next three times I went. Don't like Donuts? Go. Hate Sweets? Go. Seriously you can thank me later. These are real donuts from your youth, for me the 80's soccer games, your parents drag you there and you run for 5 minutes and get a donut, I was 9. They have a very impressive variety - maple being a personal fave. One thing to note, the "Maple Bar" has no crème inside. Don't let that sway you - it was delicious just looked like it longed for crème inside... maybe that is my hangover talking? either way, you can't go wrong. And for my savory leaning friends? They have released a line of pies - I was short on time last week so I took mine as is - don't do that - wait the 5ish minutes for them to heat it up. read more

Save your calories for something else. What a waste of calories. I love doughnuts. Glad they spell it correctly. Sure these are better than a dunkin doughnut but blah they are boring. Go to Portland and go to blue star if you want to be wowed. read more

Disclaimer: this is my boyfriend's favorite donut shop, he talked about it on our first date...a couple times...so we're visiting Seattle, and of course, he insisted on taking me here....as soon as we got into town, at 3 in the afternoon. It was late in the day, and as expected for any popular donut shop, the typical favorite/featured donuts were already sold out. Since their stock was pretty low, we both got an old fashioned. To be honest, I wasn't impressed at first. I thought it was stale and overrated. But the store environment was nice and provided a great location to enjoy a donut with my boo. We decided that we would return in the morning before we flew back to Tucson to get a dozen to take home....and I would reserve judgement until I was able to enjoy a fresh and fancy donut of my choosing. Fast forward to the next morning - holy moly! The place was packed! There was a line out the door. People couldn't see what was available in the case until you got up to the front to order, which really slowed the process down. (I would recommend they post a list of what is available somewhere along the line trail so people can make their decisions while they wait). When we made it to the front, the gentleman assisting us was great and honest with his critiques of each donut as he helped us select our dozen; I appreciated his enthusiasm! We left the store with twelve of Top Pot's finest....and boarded the plane with ten....(landed with eight...) and let me tell you, those donuts were night and day compared to the ones we had the previous time. They were delicious and fresh and worthy of their own first class seat on the plane. Yum! read more
