I’ll second Pigeonmom’s endorsement of The Original Bakery and say this –

Top Pot?

Why not a Tim Horton’s?

Wow, there must be a lot of interest in doughnuts around here, 27 posts in 8 hours! I swung by Top Pot today and put in a good word for us.

And if we keep everything within walking distance, we can avoid the big pants store!

Which reminds me of the superhighway-to-West-Seattle notice I got in the mail today… Anyone want to tell our “green” mayor that we need to push past the car paradigm? Geez! Can someone clue him in that West Seattle doesn’t LIKE being owned by cars?

@garyn…We have the best bagels? Where?

No to Top Pot! Donuts are overrated and the fad will pass just like the cupcake fad.

2 votes in our household for a top pot. s-bix doesn’t have a good enough selection of top pot doughnuts. my other half has always thought that the cleaners at the southwest corner of Admiral and California would make a great top pot. but that would be hard I guess- all the cleanup.

I don’t see donuts as a fad–they’ve been around a long time, and a million cops can’t be wrong. I’d love to see us get a Top Pot–cool atmosphere plus killer donuts. I found the Original Bakery donuts to be “meh.” And I liked the surly teenager at the counter even less. (We’re gonna need a “surly teenaged help” thread!) Mighty-O is awesome, but yes a bit different and I kind of like that it takes a special trip to get to them. (I’m a bit of a donut fan, if you haven’t picked up on that…) When/if we do get the donut shop, I’ll help organize the walking tour of the bakeries, ending at the “big pants shop.” (Right on cjboffoli! LOL.)

Hi, I’m James and I’m a Top Pot addict.

Say no to Top Pot West Seattle!

I Love me some Top Pot and am glad that all of the other locations are not super close. If there was a Top Pot in West Seattle I would be there every day and be giant and fat.

Keep Top Pot away from James! Keep James out of Fat Pants!!!

johnyblegs, I think they may have been referring to the bagels at Zat’s.

I swear, there was a Dunkin Donuts in Burien. It is now the drive-thru Starbucks. ?

I am not generally a fan of donuts (aside from the Bacon Maple bar, of course), but this discussion had me thinking. So this morning I went to Red Cup for a delicious latte and I tried a Mighty-O donut…gets a solid “meh” from me.

Mighty-O doughnut is a bland version of a doughnut for people who are afraid to stray too far from their healthy diet. (IMO) like eating a tofu steak.

ROFL!! So it’s healthy? I don’t have to feel bad about my foray into donut-land?

[sam-c]

ok no, not really healthy, but certainly not yummy and greasy like a raspberry glazed cruller from TP

[JenV]

hahah. yeah, I looked up the nutritional content – they’re “healthy” in that they are organic – but it’s still a donut after all. Slightly fewer calories than a comparable Top Pot.

Mighty-O donuts are nasty! Aren’t they vegan? That is probably why they taste like cardboard. And trust me, I’ve done numerous searches on the DD website to try and find the closest location (I admit I have an obsession!). All of the local ones closed years ago (forced out by SBUX- remember there used to be one on 2nd or 3rd downtown?). There isn’t one in PDX- I believe my donut sensing nose would have found it by now! :)

All this donut talk reminds me- one of my coworkers will be in Manhattan and Philly next week, so I need to convince her to smuggle back some DD donuts for me. Woo hoo!!

Born and raised in Boston and on Dunkin’ Donuts, all I can say is NASTY. Fake ingredients and fillings taste like chemicals, same as everything Krispy Kreme carries (except the glazed fresh out of the fryer). Top Pot does a decent Apple Fritter and Old Fashioned but I find their donuts much too bready, like dense cake. I tried Mighty-O and found them to be overhyped too. The only redeeming factor for The Daily Dozen Donuts is they’re small and HOT! Top Pot needs to do better if they want to expand here. And yes, Starbucks carries a few of the Top Pots Donuts.

If we could get Donut Star to branch out from Auburn then THAT would cause for great celebration. Top Pot is just OK, I don’t get the frenzy they create.

–

They are on Auburn Way, they sell out VERY quickly, and then they close, so get there early.

Incredibly light raised donuts with an almost imperceptibly crispy exterior. The apple fritter is like eating sweet, apple flavored air; light, no grease, best I’ve ever had.

Worked at Tangletown next to Mighty-o for a number of years. They ARE vegan, so they are also missing important ingredients that make a donut worth eating, and they go stale almost immediately. If you can get a VERY fresh French Toast donut from them it’s pretty edible, but after an hour or so they are just dry and stale.

Some things are simply meant to NOT be good for you in quantity; a decent donut is one of those things.
