Chris BAugust 23, 2015Donuts-- done right. Buttermilk bar and Old fashioned are my favorites. Close second is the blueberry fritter. Grab an Ovaltine Latte and you will be in donut heaven.
Justin McKissickNovember 10, 2015Got the old-fashioned chocolate donut, a hot chocolate, and a glazed classic. Delicious donuts but the atmosphere and building were perfect for a study/work place.
Nicholas KolnikJune 10, 2018The salted caramel old fashioned is as good as it sounds, a great companion to an iced latte.
DANIELMay 2, 2014Highly efficient/friendly counter staff keep the crowd flowing. Must haves: anything maple and EVERYTHING old fashioned. Eat in and people watch inside and out the extensive glass windows. 😍👉🍩🍩
The ArtificialNovember 27, 2017There’s nothing particularly “Seattle” about these doughnuts, except that they are really, really good. Order whatever is fresh, unless it’s pumpkin doughnut season. Then get those.
Robin IkaikaJune 1, 2018Although I like your selection, your doughnuts are extremely SWEET. I mean sweet. The doughnut that I felt wasn't too sweet was the lemon filled doughnut. Now that one was yummy!
Terence ChanDecember 9, 2015Cool atmosphere. Donuts were vast and plentiful. Fresh but I didn't think they lived up to the hype. Got the salted caramel and the raspberry frosted. 3.5/5
Dexter FreshmanJanuary 21, 2017The best doughnuts I've ever tasted in my life. If you like bacon grab the maple doughnut with smoked bacon on top - and wash it down with an awesome coffee. So much yes.
Amanda ThauMarch 17, 2017Can't go wrong with any choices here. Buying for a group? They have pre-made assorted boxes with the most popular donuts.
Nathan WrightAugust 14, 2016Yes there is a queue, but it moves fast. I loaded up on doughnuts during a stay at Hotel Five. The selection at Top Pot is vast and delicious. Highly recommend!
Bite SquadMarch 25, 2014Top Pot Doughnuts is around the corner from our Seattle office -we couldn't be more excited about it! Before you get 'your sweet' on use CHECKIN on bitesquad.com for your savory dinner/lunch delivery!
Tell them you have never ever had a donut before, and watch them scramble to explain the different types and try to cultivate a sales pitch for chocolate feather boas
Kaede BalazsNovember 14, 2013Awesome "standards" like Bavarian Cream, Raspberry ring.. But I suggest trying their fun glazed old fashioned flavors like Pumpkin & Salted Caramel! So amazing. Plain coffee + salted caramel= heaven.
Matthew MoreyOctober 2, 2012Not to mention how huge it is, the Raspberry Raised Ring doughnut is by far the best doughnut I have eaten. While in Seattle you have to check this place out.
Kristine GelsanoNovember 19, 2014I really enjoy the donuts here, my favorite being the chocolate sandcastle (chocolate donuts tossed with cinnamon and sugar)
KristenelleJune 4, 2017One doughnut is filling enough for breakfast, but it's hard to resist ordering a half dozen since they all look so good. The old fashioned's are the best.
Angie JernejcicMay 18, 2012The espresso is amazing. If you're getting beans to go, try the Federale! Doughnuts to try: maple bar, raspberry ring, glazed old-fashioned, chocolate ring, apple fritter, or a double-trouble.
Rachael PearsonJanuary 21, 2017The maple bacon doughnut and ovaltine latte had been recommended by a friend who lives in Seattle and she was right it's amazing!!!
I always try to get the double trouble donut. Chocolate heaven. There are a couple coffee spots near by but hard to compare with this place.
Get the new maple bar ice cream. It even has chunks of the yummy doughnut inside! An affogato with this is amazing as well. Espresso over ice cream, yum!- Nicholas KolnikJune 10, 2018Grab an iced latte to jumpstart your day & fend off any caffeine dependency related headaches. ☕️
Very tasty doughnuts, any flavor will do! One of the best to say the least!
Janice M.August 2, 2013These are grownup donuts. The Maple Bar tastes like Sunday morning pancakes -- aka delicious and chewy. Also perfect, and not overly sweet: the Salted Caramel Old Fashioned.
You can't go wrong. Great place to chill if you're a visitor or local.Upvoted Mar 4
Casey HoganDecember 18, 2014Apple fritter is delish. Get there early if you want the famous maple bar... they were out by 11:30am.
Bobbi SandmannFebruary 5, 2023A delicious chocolate glazed ring, light and delicious. The matcha latte was also good.
Alyssa DunnMay 29, 2016Make sure you grab a coffee with your donut. Then grab a stamp card because you know you'll be coming back.
Samantha SmileyAugust 6, 2016The "valley girl" is my fav if you like Lemon. The Cake doughnut with chocolate Frosting is a must.
- Jenn skarzenskiAugust 27, 2014the glazed chocolate cake doughnuts are awesome, tourist love this place also so beware, sometimes a line.
AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014A welcome haven whenever you need a caffeine fix or a hearty, sweet snack — just put their "hand-forged doughnuts" to the test. Read more
Flagship location for this donut institution. Worth a stop, either here or near Kerry Park
Ricky SherrillOctober 23, 2016Very good doughnuts especially the plain/cake which was easily in my top 3
SeattleMonorailAugust 17, 2011Best local donuts ever! Their donuts have been featured on the Travel Channel, USA Today, and more! 40+ types! My favorite is old fashion. Monorail travels above Top Pot - it's walking distance!
Best donuts I've ever had, the venue is gorgeous, and good coffee too. A must see.
Mark DickensonMay 25, 2014Did your brother bring you a Bavarian Cream Doughnut from Top Pot this morning? If not, you might want to shop around for a new one.
Courtney JillSeptember 13, 2014Cinnamon sugar doughnut is amazing. Their doughnuts are big and hearty- no measly desserts here.
Jennifer ErtelAugust 12, 2014Nice space upstairs for reading or studying, with free WiFi and some electrical outlets if you need to charge.
Jennie RobertsFebruary 26, 2012One of my must do places when I am in Seattle. I take my friends there to get them to fall in love with the atmostphere..
Tom Douglas choice for Best Doughnut: For a classic doughnut, go to Top Pot (multiple locations and a truck)
Franklin KellerDecember 18, 2018The Bavarian Cream and Old Fashioned doughnuts were delicious. As was the coffee.
Mick BMarch 19, 2012Nice literary/coffee house feeling. A little pricey, but having a box of a dozen assorted lying around your hotel room is worth it.
Awesome apple fritters. Possibly better than the old fashioned doughnuts. Get one of each.- PureWowJuly 27, 2016The menu always features the classics with a rotating list of seasonal specialties like the cherry blossom and pumpkin old-fashioned.
Amanda ZvirblisJuly 6, 2011GREAT soy latte. They use the Pacific Natural's Barista Series soy milk; it's made to withstand high temperatures and makes beautiful foam.
Philippe LewickiMay 9, 2017It's spacious with a library feel and there are donuts. The coffee is good.
