do not waste money or time going to any of their locations. the most overpriced donuts, yet they can never fill the cream properly!!! such a waste of money for mediocre donuts that basically doesn't have any flavor due to lack of care in how they make their product

Well… I was sent to this cafe by my friend. I had Lemon Curd. I usually like the taste of ? Nevertheless, this one was just sour. The taste is very artificial. Drip coffee ☕️ is not good as well.If you consider the brand in itself, this cafe is pretty stylish.

Review is for doughnuts only. 3.5 rounding up to 4 stars I tried lemon curd and chocolate marshmallow. Pro: no line and there were a few doughnuts available when I arrived around noon. The dough for the filled brioche doughnuts is pretty good. Con: the fillings were a bit too sweet for me.

While everyone is chatting in the café, the barista's laughter is a bit distracting. Maybe toning it down a bit could create a more comfortable atmosphere for customers.

I love a good malasada, and I was really excited to try General Porpoise because their donuts look so fluffy and yummy. I've been here a few times now, and while I still love the crunch of the sugar coating and the flavorful fillings, everything always tastes weirdly stale. Like they baked the donuts the night before and then just left them sitting out all night. It's only a faint flavor of staleness, but enough to make one question. I had a lobster mushroom quiche here once, and while it was also weirdly stale tasting, it was still pretty good. I think if things tasted more fresh this place would easily knock other donut shops out of the park.

Wish I had taken a picture beforehand but the donut was so dang good.

The vanilla custard was scrumptious. The chai latte was not great. Ended up just tossing it. My friend loved the pour over. Staff was very personable and efficient.

We had heard a lot about the donuts from here in public forums. So we arrived here one day.What we ordered - A variety of donuts - chocolate, lemon curd, vanilla and raspberry. Drip coffee and cappuccino. All the donuts were cold and dry. Only good thing I liked was the vanilla custard filling. The price is a deterrent too. The coffee was truly forgettable.

I got a vanilla filled and it was okay. The filling was very dense and creamy, donut was somewhat on the chewy side. The shop itself was quiet and quaint, seems like a good place to relax with a book.

Seattle coffee has a unique aroma and taste that you may not be familiar with. This cafe is similar. Tastes may vary. But the donuts are delicious. It closes at 3pm.

A cute small shop, with a few seating. Donuts had a nice fluff with a perfect amount of filling. The chai latte was a bit on the spicier side than what I'm used to.
