Best Donuts in Kirkland

"There are a couple of donut spots the city is famous for, but the only one you need to know about is General Porpoise. They have a hot pink espresso machine, delicious homemade filled donuts (get the vanilla custard), and actual iced coffee instead of cold brews and iced Americanos."

"The donuts at General Porpoise are some of the best donuts in Seattle. However, they’re a far cry from traditional American donuts. Here, they’re British-inspired, as they’re made to be fluffy and stuffed with fresh custards, creams, and delectable jams."

"Head to Daily Dozen Doughnut Co., a Pike Place stall, to enjoy the piping hot mini donut holes that they sell. The counter-serve store sells coffee alongside their donuts and other sweet treats, which is great considering you’re going to need something to help wash down all the sugary donuts you’re about to devour."

"On the topic of Top Pot, we have to talk about cofounder Michael Klebeck’s newer Cap Hill spot. Half and Half bakes its donuts using organic Pacific Northwest ingredients. Plus they have some seriously amazing rotating and limited-run flavors like market spice, Bimba caramelized pineapple, and more."

"Located in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, these little donuts are sure to wow all those who brave the line to eat them. Keeping it simple, these tiny treats come in maple, chocolate sprinkle, powdered, cinnamon and plain and are served in little brown bags by either the dozen or half dozen."

Don’t bother coming to this spot if you’re not in it for their cookie dough-nut — a perfectly sweet and soft doughnut filled with safe-to-eat cookie dough from Sugar and Spoon. But, with flavors like ube and chocolate peppermint, we’ll forgive you if you pick one of their other donuts."

"In a former life 15 years ago, it was a Dunkin’ Donuts, hence the familiar looking signage with a pink, sprinkle-adorned doughnut. But today, this bakeshop situated in the northern reaches of the city fries its own doughy creations: honey-glazed doughnut holes, chocolate topped with chopped peanut, even a pleasantly crunchy, plain old-fashioned."

"West Seattle also has a thriving doughnut scene as well, and this takeout window and farmers market favorite is leading the way with hot, made-to order bites. With a rotating menu of weekly flavors, this shop makes living on that side of the bridge well worth it. Flavors available this week include coconut cream pie-inspired hole and an apple quince fritter with a honey glaze."

"Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, rang in the new millennium with a cutting-edge and interactive music-themed institution. For its exterior, he envisioned a colorful and energetic collection of metal and aluminum – and who better to successfully bring it to life than Frank O. Gehry, architect of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. For some, this wavy, reflective metallic exterior is considered an eyesore; for others, it represents a creative blend of color and texture."
