Top Pot Doughnuts — Restaurant in Renton

Best donuts ever!! I first had a donut from Top Pot at my children's elementary school during my volunteer shift for book fair. The reason I got to try the donuts at this time was because one of the PTA ladies called Top Pot to get doughnuts for the volunteers, turns out Top Pot actually donated the doughnuts to our school! So that night I did some research on the company, found out that Top Pot doughnuts is a Seattle based company & supports our communities!! They also donated a few gift certificates to our school for a raffle we have every year to raise money for events, supplies, field trips, etc. So after learning about this amazing company I had to go visit & get more delicious doughnuts, their cafe's are very beautiful & have great service to match!! My favorite thing about Top Pot doughnuts is that they stick to "regular" doughnuts & have perfected their recipes. Other doughnut shops have gotten out of control with outrageous concoctions that cost an arm an a leg, that don't taste that great if your not used to that kind of thing. Top Pot doughnuts have a great variety without going crazy & really have perfected the recipes, they have the best tasting doughnuts I've ever had! To make things even better I can actually afford to take my kids there knowing no matter what my kids pick out I won't have to give up a limb to pay the bill .. LOL I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for a Top Pot doughnuts to open up in...

i tried ordering omline from door dash at 8 in morning. selected a dozen for about $25 but wouldnt let me choose what kind i can get. i called the store to have them package the kind flavors i wanted qnd they refused, saying they just pick whichever flavors and give it to door dash. i asked if they are packaging them at the store and donuts are fresh and they agreed. i asked why i cant pick my flavors, having already paid and food hasnt been delivered and that flat out refused. i asked im not asking them to make. more or anything and whats the difference from me coming straight in there and picking what i want. they still refused to even hear what kind i want to see if its available and that after i placèd order they just throw whatever kind they want in a box with no regard for what customer wants and said could take it up with corporate. cqncelled order immeditely. its a shame, bought. their donuts at grocery stores in past but never at an actual location. last time ill make...

I don't think these guys get enough credit... TPD may have the look and feel of a chain - but they are privately owned and local as local gets! If I recall they opened up shop in the early 2000s right here in Seattle's own Capitol Hill. Since then they've expanded their footprint to have many locations throughout the greater Seattle area and the one thing I respect is their consistency of service and quality of their products. Best doughnuts ever? debatable as it's all a matter of personal preference but most consistent? I wouldn't hesitate to say yes. My personal favorites of theirs is the old fashion doughnut, not sure why but each donut shop typically has one type that's great, specific to them. And TPD's old fashion is where it's at. Great consistency, not overly sweet and the perfect density in every bite. Great shop and love that they are...
