    The Grape Ape (top right) was a past favorite it looked sad and messy, just like the Homer next to it, so I didn't order it.

    1. First the good. The counter staff were welcoming and friendly. The shop itself is cool looking and inviting. 2. Back in the day when Voodoo only had one shop in Portland and you had to wait in a long line we went a number of times. What I remember most about it was that the inventiveness of their flavors was matched by the quality of their donuts. 3. On our recent trip to Voodoo here in Seattle that quality was a thing of the past. My past favorite the Grape Ape was so messy and sad looking I didn't order it. And it wasn't the only sad looking donut in the case. We tried a couple of donuts (apple fritter and Pucker Up) and in both cases the donuts underneath the toppings were oily. I won't be coming back. There are better donuts with more consistent quality in Seattle.

    Service was great, fast and friendly. Cute little place with no real place to eat inside. The decorated donuts are fun and definitely worth coming to try. I just wanted to try a few things: voodoo doll - 6.5/10 - great decoration, very tart but each bite with a pretzel made the donut very balanced bacon maple bar - 7.5/10 - this was my favorite. rich, creamy, sweet and savory red velvet cheesecake - 6/10 - good but nothing stood out Would definitely visit often. I am lucky we don't have them where I live otherwise I would be gaining lots weight.

    The best banana fritter! Chocolate cake and cinnamon sugar doughnuts were also great. Staff was very friendly! Cutest shirts. Atmosphere is fun!

    My partner is obsessed with this place and honestly I get it. I love that they have vegan donuts and there's always fun monthly specials. The service is always friendly and helpful. It's a small place without really seating indoors but it's easily packaged to go, which is usually what we're doing anyways.

    The donuts are giant. The dough is nice and soft. The icing was a little too sweet so I got tired by the end of it. We ordered through the takeout window and they handed the donuts to us right there. Glad they had vegan options since I'm allergic to dairy. I'd probably try a different flavor next time.

    Quality/Quantity - Time for dessert. We just had dinner next door and because my daughter is such a HUGE fan and supporter, we came here for dessert. Pumpkin Spice Late - Just okay. Pumpkin Buttermilk Bar - Just okay. Personally, I feel the "fad" is over. I still remember when you first started and we used to wait in hour-long lines. But don't worry, as long as my daughter is a fan, we will still support. Ambiance - Cool decor, consistent with their brand. See pictures. Plenty of selections as always. Open 7 days a week from 6am to 11pm or 3am; see my website or my picture. Service - Overall good. Not 100% clear directions on the door if we were supposed to wait outside or not?!?! Price - $8, reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2000/2003 and now with 23+ locations and in 9 states and continuing to grow. We have been to at least 11 of your locations and counting.

    This isn't my first time coming to Voodoo Doughnut -- I've even been to the original location in Portland, OR -- but this visit was special. My mom had been craving a buttermilk bar for weeks. She'd tried four different doughnut shops and couldn't find one anywhere, so I figured Voodoo might be our best shot... and it was! She said it was delicious and tasted just like the ones she had when she was a kid. Voodoo is always fun because of its unique flavors and quirky names -- the Voodoo Doll, Grape Ape, Maple Blazer Blunt -- you name it. The décor matches the vibe perfectly: colorful, playful, and a little spooky (the name is Voodoo Doughnut, after all). The spinning display cases showing off all the doughnuts are such a cool touch and make it hard to choose just one. I went with the Portland Cream this time, and it was delicious. Whether you're craving something classic or something wild, Voodoo always delivers.

    Donut was loaded with grease, tasted old and stale and nasty.

    We had a really disappointing visit to Voodoo Donuts. I've had their donuts before and have enjoyed them, but this location served us overpriced, overcooked, and stale donuts for a premium. Yuck. In the evenings, the inside of the store is closed and you have to wait at an outside walk-up window. It's not really a problem, except that the employee running the window was brand new and had no idea how to work the point of sale system or even the names of their most popular donuts. (He did, of course, have zero issues prompting us to press the tip button). We got a box of 4 donuts because we couldn't decide and they all sounded good. That's the key word here: they SOUNDED good. And there's the main caveat with Voodoo Donuts: they consistently over-promise and under-deliver. Hubby got a Butterfinger donut and a maple crème stuffed donut. One bite and he was done. I got a strawberry glazed with sprinkles and a strawberry crème donut. I was also disappointed. My donuts were greasy and tasted so old and stale. The grease was disgusting and obviously had not been changed in a while. Nobody wants a nasty donut that was fried in old grease that wasn't warm enough. It made the dough soak up all the nasty flavors. I also couldn't tell that my donuts were supposed to be strawberry as there was zero fruit flavor in either of them. All I could taste was old, dirty grease. Look at my photos, you can SEE how overcooked and soaked with too-brown grease my donuts were. Barf. I'm mad that I wasted money and time and carbs on these donuts. Skip this location, you can do far, far better.

    My only experiences with Voodoo Doughnut have been in Portland, long before it became a national chain. Despite having seen them in other parts of the country, this Seattle location was my first foray into the non-Portland Voodoo life. And unsurprisingly, it was a solid, sweet, and food comatose experience. (#1) The shop is located on the corner of Pine and Minor, just around the block from lots of popular businesses along Pike in the heart of Capitol Hill. It's too small for any actual seating, but the lines can get so overwhelming that a security guard is there to keep the crowds manageable. Like any popular spot, one has to be let in once the security has given the all-clear. Voodoo Doughnut sold a sizeable chunk of their ownership before the pandemic, which has taken them to multiple states that include Texas, Colorado, Florida, and California. Thus, the brand feels more *corporate* than ever, which is a far from the alternative, Portland hippy / grudge vibe that I had long associated with the company. There are some definite nice touches: employees with legible name tags (#2), a bright pink exterior with neon lighting, and a spinning display case carousel complete with excellent lighting and the names of every doughnut available in their arsenal. It's brilliant. Of the dozen doughnuts, the ones that stood out were the maple bacon bar, the banana cream pie, the blueberry cake, and the buttermilk bar. The pop tarts and marshall mathers were just too sugar for my liking. Barring all sweets aside, the maple old fashioned may stand to be my favorite of all. The folks behind the counter were young and sweet. The prices are going to be up there but the quality of the product should be on par. While I can't really say that I prefer the more updated version of VD compared to the older one, I can say that I'm more willing to give it the other locations a shot. __________ (#1) Blood sugar crash. (#2) Back in the day, it would've been: "what name tags?"

    Michelle Y.

    Loved the variety of donuts. They were delicious! The cashier was a big cold - I tried asking her what her favorite was and she gave me a weird look (like 'why are you asking me?') which I thought wasn't very respectful... the ambiance = PINK. I love that they have the spinning donut preview - makes the space more fun!

    THE voodoo doughnut!
    Jayson D.

    Good things come in pink boxes. That's the message from Voodoo Doughnut, a chain of bougie confectionery delectables found in many major cities. The Seattle location doesn't disappoint. Huge selection of creatively designed doughnuts. One of my faves is their namesake: the Voodoo Doughnut. Cleverly shaped like a voodoo doll complete with the cutest little up stretched arms, filled with tasty jelly "blood", and stabbed with a pretzel "pin." Exorcise the doughnut demons with the uber cool pinkery of Voodoo Doughnut!

    Enthusiasm, prior to buying stale donuts...
    Ian S.

    Everything is OK, except for the donuts! We got there at 7 AM, ordered five donuts and two of them were stale. The glazed old-fashioned and buttermilk bar tasted like they were baked offsite quite a while ago and dropped on this satellite location. I was very disappointed! I've had them in Portland previously and they've been good. Seattle might just be their Rubicon...

    Heaven S.

    We had the best experience! The person who took our order was super sweet! We ordered 3 donuts and he gave us an extra just because we were visiting from out of state. Donuts were delicious. I'd love to return if we're ever back in Seattle

    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 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.
