Top Pot Doughnuts

Yummy doughnuts with unique flavors!

You can get top pot doughnuts at QFC for a lot less than here but my kiddo has to leave early on Fridays so we use the drive thru. I’m willing to pay for that convenience. I give 3 stars because the doughnuts are ok, every single time I purchase 2 single maple bars I have to ask for napkins and one time they were out of maple bars at 6:10 in the morning! The salted caramel old fashioned was just gross!

My family and I made our way in here as an entire group for the first time today. They have awesome doughnuts, ice cream and sandwiches. From reading in their history /​cook book they have for sell right now (at least at this location) for like $ 20. The book seems to be an awesome read about the history and how the name «Top Pot» came to be. One thing I was no aware of is this company is a supplier to the Mecca that is Starbucks and a few airlines. Hopefully I’m not the only weirdo interested in such minute and perhaps stupid facts.

We are big donut fans and these just don’t make the cut, they are larger than most but the real issue is that they always seem dry and sort of stale. We have picked up a dozen before and ended up tossing the last couple because my kids just don’t care for them… that usually never happens. If you want a good donut make the drive out to North Bend and hit George’s Bakery!

I’ve been getting coffee here every Thursday since they opened. They are usually slow, and not very friendly, but it was convenient. Last week I went and when I sipped my coffee after getting on the freeway it was cold. No time to go back. So this week, I told the guy what happened and he said, well this one will be nice and hot for you, and held out his hands for payment. I told him I go there every week and I wanted this one comped because last week’s was cold and he said no. So from now on, I’m going to Starbucks. At least they’re consistent.

I normally dont post negative reviews but I’ve had two bad experiences at this location. The first time, the gal working behind the counter put my doughnut on the counter and someone must have accidentally grabbed it because I never picked it up. When I told the lady I never got my doughnut she treated me like a was lying. Second bad experience, I walked in on a sunday at 4pm and they where out of doughnuts. The gal working said we are out and walked away. She offered no apology for being a doughnut shop that was out of doughnuts. We totally would have gotten ice cream if she would have mentioned it as an alternative. Definitely won’t be returning to this location anytime soon.

We grabbed a six pack here to try their goodies. Everything was robust but nothing noteworthy. They were fresh and looked good, just simple and bland. Liked the seahawk employee shirts. Service was good. I would put these at a step above the grocery store.

I’ve never been to a top pot so we tried it out. Coffee is good & strong. Not a fan of the doughnuts. Very pricey for one and they aren’t soft & melt in your mouth but instead hard. If you like harder doughnuts, might be for you. Selection is very limited.

Save your money and get a doughnut that tastes exactly the same from a Safeway or any grocery store. $ 2.30 for a doughnut that is not fresh and no bigger than normal.
Ice cream was freezer burnt.
Neat atmosphere inside but just highly overpriced for doughnuts tasting previously frozen.
Next.

Little off the beaten path, wish they had better coffee. Slow service depending on who is working, going inside is always faster.
We like the cake donuts, especially with Seahawk sprinkles. Blueberry is a little too sweet, very generous on the fillngs. I like the the glazed raspberry.
Kids love this place! Just watch the drive thru traffic coming in the door, you have to cross the driveway to go in.

Oh wow I hate to write a bad review but I will. Went to this place because all the advertisement. Came to Sammamish for vacation with family and came in one morning and wow great donuts and service but decided to go back before heading back home. Well went today literally before 6pm and the sign was still on as OPEN and couldn’t buy a tshirt nor donuts cause apparently was already closed. Bummer not even a gesture to sell the tshirt.
PS Saw on Unilocal it closes at 7pm

It’s the only place I go to for donuts in Issaquah, and though its location is smaller than most, I’d rather go here than anywhere else. The service is usually quick, as they usually have about three staff on duty. There’s also a drive-​thru that has come in handy when I’ve been too lazy.
One time I came during the morning of Blue Friday around 7:30AM, and took the last dozen of Seahawks donuts in vanilla and chocolate. They told me to pre-​order next time because several employees of Costco and other offices get dozens of the Hawks donuts. And that was at 7:30AM. It was a good tip — and from now on, I pre-​order them a few days before Blue Friday.

I really wanted to like this place and bring my folks this summer. I tried it several times, but I felt the girl in the window just wanted to get payment, give the coffee and see you leave. I always had to tell her that please I need two straws and a sleeve as it is extra hot.
Then a guy used to be in the afternoons and he was nice and will not get upset for me asking for a receipt, sleeve and two straws. But the last time I went I think they charged me incorrectly because the same drink was almost two dollars more. I asked him and he repeated the order but not the size. That was the last time I went. I am giving two stars because I have experienced better. By the way, the doughnuts from QFC taste better.

Wanted to give this location another shot. Wish I didn’t.
I was the only on in the drive thru. I ordered a drip coffee and old fasioned glaze doughnut. I drove up to the window and saw inside the woman talking to another coworker while my coffee was sitting on the counter. No one came to the window to greet me or to let me know it would be a little longer. I ended up waiting over 7 minutes for someone to greet me. I ended up leaving.
Worst customer service. The employees could carr less. How do they still have jobs?
This woman should be fired!!!

Today… March 31^st…7am…staff VERY friendly… awesome xhange
Today…April 16^th…724am…new staff member is AWESOME… friendly and even remembered my drink… Great Job top pot!!!

First time trying this place. We enjoyed the donuts. Very dense style donuts, but the topping flavors were super yummy! Has drive through. Plenty of parking for going inside.

Sooooo… they don’t make the doughnuts here. After going to the Krispy Kreme in Issaquah for the last 10 years, I found it odd. Also, because the doughnuts are delivered, they had a limited selection and ran out of some of the varieties. I will say their apple fritter was AMAZING, probably the best one I’ve ever had. However, the other doughnuts were pretty dry. Also, holy crap! These are some pretty expensive doughnuts!
For me, I’ll probably stick to Krispy Kreme and Safeway doughnuts unless I have the overwhelming desire to eat an apple fritter.

When we moved to Issaquah from out of state, my daughter who was not familiar with Top Pot Doughnuts commented, «I know that WA allows pot, but I didn’t know they had drive throughs for top POT. «The doughnuts is written in small font on their sign. Since then, I always smile a little any time I drive through this location, as it makes me remember her comment. Unfortunately, there are no doughnuts with pot here. Just huge and ‘hand crafted’ ones.
I am not a huge fan of their doughnuts, I find them too sweet, too large and just too rich for my taste having tried bites of a few flavors at different locations. However, they have some nice ice-​creams at this location and always have specials in the summer where you can get a really cheap cone! Try their salted caramel or green apple flavor. It’s really great. They have a nice coffee and a wonderful chocolate flavor too. I’ve tried all their flavors and they taste really rich and good, one scoop really satisfies my craving for icecream as it’s pretty rich and dense.
There is some outdoor seating if you want to eat your ice-​cream. That parking lot is mostly vacant too so I like to bring my dog sometimes in the summer as he can sit outside.

I eat clean and stay away from flour and added sugar. But if I’m going to treat myself a donut or pizza will be my cheat. And Top Pot is the place to get donuts.
This location is a little off the beaten track in Issaquah, but it has a drive through. You don’t even need to get out of your car to get the sugary jolt of baked goodness.
We went Saturday mid-​day and got a good selection of donuts, some to take home for the kids and some to eat on the way home. The selection was nice, even after having been open for a few hours.
I love an apple fritter (it has apple in it, it has to be healthy, right?) and it is one of the benchmarks I use. Some places the apple fritter is greasy, but Top Pots was not. It was fresh, crisp and just the right amount of sweetness.
I’m surprised that the Issaquah Krispy Kreme has more stars than this Top Pot. Reading through the other reviews, it seems that we lucked out and got reasonable service. Maybe we were just lucky with the time of day that we arrived.
If you’re in Issaquah and need donuts, Top Pot is the place to go.

This location is not the best. They advertised blueberry fritters on the door and had none. In fact, they didn’t have any fritters available. Our next choice was an old fashioned glazed donut, but they were out of those too. Out of the limited selection, we went with a salted caramel old fashioned.
The donut was okay in flavor, but it was stale.
We also wanted to try the small scoop of vanilla with a shot of espresso. Once again, they were out of vanilla. Out of vanilla ice cream and the donuts they are known for, nice. We thought, since they were out if apple fritters, we’d satisfy our craving with apple fritter ice cream. It had no flavor. The espresso dominated the cup. We think chocolate or salted caramel would be a better option, if they aren’t out when you go.
The shop lady’s where cute and helpful.
