  6 0 Daily Dozen in Pike Place Market, hands down. I love Top Pot and Mighty-O too, but both of those fail the crucial test: readily available hot, fresh, donuts.

  5 0 Michou (in the Market near the original starbucks) makes a really really great tunisian bomboloni. Crispy on the outside, dense and chewy on the inside, sprinkled with sugar. It's a thinkin' man's doughnut for when a man wants to think happy thoughts. bigadventures answered in Eating Out over 3 years ago | Report 2 comments by Marty Unger and Fenrox… 0 0 Ahhh, Michou. Such delicious food. I had no idea they had doughnuts too. Now that the weather's getting warmer I can't wait to get takeout from Michou and eat it at the totem pole park.

  3 0 Best.donuts.ever = the Daily Dozen in Pike Place Market. Super hot, super fresh, cinnamon and sugar-coated chewy mounds of fluffy goodness, shaken skillfully (the way an angry baby-sitter shakes a crying infant) in little paper bags by equally hot punked-out dudes. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it (not the baby-shaking part).

  2 0 Within official Seattle city limits: Family Donut, on Northgate Way just west of the freeway. They do twists and crullers along with the standards, and are much lighter and less greasy than Top Pot's. Just outside official Seattle city limits: Golden House Bakery and Treats, in White Center. Their plain cake donut has a lovely intense mace flavor; the maple bars are in a different realm from Top Pot's--a happier, more peaceful realm, where elves make the donuts. A Vietnamese coffee with the unglazed cake donut is a spectacular breakfast. alight answered in Eating Out over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by Rev.Enant… 0 0 Family Donut is indeed full of win.

  2 0 As my stomach isn't a grease trap, the only donut for me is Mighty-O. They are available at various coffee shops when you don't want the temptation of an entire box from their Wallingford store with the added bonus of the cute barista thinking your a hip vegan. Personal favorite at the moment, Cinnamon and Sugar, pure elegance that melts in your mouth. datajunkie answered in Eating Out over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by Matt Westervelt… 0 0 leave any mighty-o donut in a paper bag for about an hour. your stomach IS is a grease trap.

  2 0 Mighty O. Hands down. I don't even like donuts usually (and I'm not vegan) but theirs are heaven with a hole in the middle. Especially the pumpkin donuts they have in the fall.

  1 0 Ly's on 45th in the U district. Hands down. Lindsay Love answered in Eating Out over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by Sphinx… 0 0 In addition to having delicious donuts, Ly's is great because it's open 24 hours a day (I like donuts when I'm drunk) and the owner will almost always give you freebies if you buy more than one.

  1 0 Golden House in White Center makes Top Pot seem like old bagels. Donuts should be light as air. Top Pot has great locations, but their donuts should learn something from Golden House.

  0 0 Chuck's Donuts way out east by southeast of Lake WA is the closest thing to a uniformly best donuts for ALL their donuts, - and Family Donut takes the cake inside city limits, but I agree with poster Clayton in that WHICH donut you seek CAN make a difference in how you answer. I go for only 4 or so kinds of donut. Toppot maple bars - huge and thickly topped. They've got me by the short ones there. but Toppot Boston Creme? too dry and the chocolate too melty, the 'creme' is clearly some canned pudding-ish mix rather than made fresh. (Tony at Family Donut makes a decent boston creme, but I long for the old days when SCCC's bakery used to make fresh donuts and pasteries every morning and sell them at that groundfloor storefront that's since been turned into something else....) *sigh* Cake donut - french toast flavor?

  1 2 Ahhh Donuts. HERE IS THE DEAL, you did not ask your question, you asked a question. You asked "What is the best Movie!?!" You meant to ask "What is the best Comedy Movie!?!" See donuts are all about THE donut! For examples, I live in NYC now (Instead of Seattle) and out here NOBODY has ever heard of a Maple Bar! So to me, the Maple Bar is the only donut I am interested in. Now like cupcakes, fat people tend to fat-out over all the types and they just call themselves a fan but donuts are different. Donuts can pack a hell of a lot more sugar than a cupcake, so people tend to find a couple that they can stomach and then try to find the best ones of that type. So its all about the kind of donut you like. If you like mint then Top Pot is a shithole that you would sooner burn down than eat at, where as Mighty-O is your BFF that is into blowjobs. Nowhere in Seattle has all-good donuts. In Vancouver on Granville Island 15 years ago there was a Donut shop in the market that had ONLY GOOD donuts, oh sweet Obama were those donuts awesome. If you need some sort of credentials I can assure you that I am a million pounds. I will however say that Mighty-O is probably the best donut place, I wish that the chefs could train some non-vegan people so we could live in a world that has vegan inspired non-vegan donuts. Also Top Pot has terrible Maple Bars. Fenrox answered in Eating Out over 3 years ago | Report 1 comment by cucuchi… 0 0 Hey you are oh so wrong about the Maple Bar. I see them in lots of places. QFC, Franz Bread Outlet store at 20th & Jackson, and also Madison Park Bakery in Madison Park. And what you said about burning down Top Pot was so classy dude. cucuchi commented over 3 years ago | Report Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.

  2 3 Leave town. Go to Richland, to the Spudnut Shop in the Uptown Shopping Center. Raised or cake, plain or glazed, potato flour makes the unsurpassed donut, for texture & flavor. (but if I'm only eating local, then the little bakery at Endolyne, 2 blocks up from the Vashon ferry, makes a great applesauce cake donut at least one day a week...) chow ^..^ John Browne answered in Eating Out over 3 years ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
