These guys, Top Pot Doughnuts, make some pretty decent coffee though they are actually better known for making really good doughnuts. Now some folks will swear upon Mighty ‘O’ donuts, others will even go for Krispy Kreams (don’t even get me started) but honestly, I think Top Pot Donuts are probably the best donuts you can by in Seattle.
That being said, I personally think their doughnuts are too sweet so I can’t really eat more than one at a sitting without the danger of getting rather nauseous.
I like their original store, on Summit Ave, Capital Hill. It has the old, almost musty look and feel about it. Kind of similar to Bauhaus Coffee, also on Capital Hill with wall to ceiling bookshelves on the two sides of the shop. In the summer, when the sun is out and the trees are green, Top Pot is a great place to hang out and enjoy a drink and a doughnut…
