Super delicious! And I LOVE that they offer the unfilled donuts as well. I find that most iced/filled donuts are way too sweet for me, so any shop that offers plain gets a gold star in my book. Their filled ones are also very good—I had a vanilla custard, and it was just the right subtle sweetness.

It was a nice place to chill and relax with my teenage daughters while we enjoyed donuts and drinks.

The place is super cute, branding is adorable, and the vibe was awesome. However, $6 for one doughnut is a little absurd. These are more fancy doughnuts (although still not worth the price) so they were not approved by my kids. The small americano I got tasted like a blonde roast- very juicy and acidic- great if you like blonde roast, but I am not a fan and that is not at all what I was expecting. It ended up being almost $35 for 4 doughnuts and a small americano with tax.

The service was great, staff was nice, and restrooms clean. They have a water refilling station which was very convenient.

Donuts are really, really good. It's just that they're also really, really pricey. Definitely the kind that you treat yourself to once in a while but you will go broke having donuts here too frequently.

Super yummy doughnuts! Got the seal of approval from both child and dad! The little lady went with the doughnut filled with chocolate and marshmallow and they also gave her a glass of ice water for free on a hot day! Win-win!

Doesn’t look like fresh donuts

It was a fine donut but for 6$ for one ... I expect it to rock my world.

The doughnuts are raised and filled and they are amazing! The atmosphere is light, bright and airy. Big windows and friendly staff. LGBTQ+ friendly ❤️

This may have been the best donut I’ve ever had. We got the custard donut and it was so so soft and delicious. It didn’t leave us with that heavy feeling most donuts do. We also got coffee, a cortado and latte. Both delicious. Lovely interior of the building as well!

I rarely come to Seattle since I started working remotely, but sometimes, you just crave the food you miss. And oh, how I miss General Porpoise! My all-time favorite is the Vanilla Custard—it’s pure nostalgia, bringing back wonderful memories of Seattle before the pandemic. Every bite takes me back. I’d gladly make the 50-minute drive just to satisfy my craving, and it’s always worth it!

At over $20 for three doughnuts I expected so much more from these doughnuts. Choices super limited.
Taste was good but not great. Place is super cute.

$6.62 for one donut - what a rip-off! And honestly, it wasn’t even worth it. The cream wasn’t evenly spread, so it ended up tasting doughy and chewy. If you love cute coffee shops, this place might appeal to you, but I still don’t think the premium prices are justified for the quality.

Delish! Ordered the donut with chocolate & orange zest (seasonal) - sooo stuffed with the filling, light and fluffy. Enjoyed the mocha too. Cute little place with good amount of seating.

Ordered two donuts. They were good enough, but in no way were they worth the sticker shock of $13.24.

I bought pistachio and plum jam.
The oil has a bitter taste, so you have to buy it with a refreshing flavor to offset the taste.
