About General Porpoise

General Porpoise is a stylish cafe known for its delectable doughnuts. The dough for the filled brioche doughnuts is praised, though the fillings can be too sweet for some. Customers have also noted a slight staleness in the doughnuts and other baked goods, such as the lobster mushroom quiche, which otherwise tastes good. Despite these minor issues, the cafe's fluffy, flavorful doughnuts continue to attract customers, with the lemon creme and raspberry filled varieties being particularly popular. The cafe also offers great lattes and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a popular spot for a sweet treat and a good study session, though parking can be a challenge.

Twice I've gotten these donuts and they had almost no cream in them! So dry and dissatisfying. I can see from my friends' donuts that they are supposed to have lots of cream in the middle, but I must have bad luck. Not worth the splurge if it's going to be a risk.

Best doughnuts I have ever had. Highly recommend. A must when we come to Seattle.

Love love love their doughnuts!
