The inside of the doughnut was good enough but the bread was dense and cool. Not a good doughnut, in my opinion.
Nice looking shop. Watch for parking police!

bangin coffee & donuts with chill vibes near the university village. i live not too far away so i usually bike here, have my lil treat, and then i bike back home
they have special seasonal donuts and drinks that rotate every month. so far, my favorites have been the strawberry cheesecake & the tiramisu donuts and the cardamom spiced latte.
the inside is cutely decorated and the service is always great. usually my coffee is made by adela (hope i'm spelling that right!) who is the nicest ever, awesome to yap with, and makes a meeeean coffee.
u village gets super crowded so if you want something sweet after finishing your shopping, general porpoise is the way to go!

Pretty good donuts. Fillings could be a bit sweeter but donut itself is great. Excellent drip coffee. But common...almost $4 a donut???

Fun little donut shop. My husband got the vanilla custard and told me it was a four star donut.

Two donuts and a drip coffee ran me $15, and even for Seattle that's a little much - but the donuts (all the same fabulous puff pastry, unfilled or with a variety of fillings) are bomb, the space is a lovely place to sit, and the staff are very friendly.

Donuts were kept in a case covered in flies. Overly yeasty taste, sugar was wet as if it had been sitting there for hours (despite me going in the morning). not fresh seeming at all. This place used to be good, but it’s really taken a turn for the worse.
My favorite donut in Seattle. Order the vanilla and whatever fruit jam variation they have the. eat them simultaneously. You won’t be sorry.
Way overpriced and my blackberry jam donut tasted like a dinner roll with Jam inside. Didn't taste like a donut at all.Almost 30 bucks for 4 donuts!

Nice staff. This shop specializes in filled donuts so if you’re not a fan of them, you won’t like the options here.I tried the vanilla custard and jam filled donut. I preferred the custard because it felt like the jam filled donut had seeds in it which felt a bit odd on my teeth. But the flavor of both donuts were good!

The donuts were pretty yummy, I had the lemon one. However, they only price them individually and not by the group which is unfortunate. They’re pretty pricey and the donut display is small. The latte was nice and the espresso were much nicer than you’d usually get at a Starbucks. The inside was decorated very cute.

I’ll be honest - donuts places are usually unappealing to me because their donuts are wayyyy to sweet and wayyy to greasy. I tried this place very low key because I was in the area and it was convenient. MIND BLOWN! My new favorite place for donuts. Not too sweet at all. Very nicely done. I had the seasonal plum jam. Not too much jam either. Perfectly balanced. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10. The baristas were also lovely.
Good by seattle-level coffee, which is really really good anywhere else. Tons of outlets and more room than the cap hill location for studying. Outside seating. Same delicious donuts as the other locations. 5* for study spots, 4.5* for coffee, 5* for donuts.
