Family Donut Shop

Best FRESH donut shop in town. No frills, walk in, order, pay, and out. Fast service, good selection, nice people. Note that Family Donut Shop is a small, family-owned business based in Washington state, with locations in Seattle and Lynnwood. While it has more than one location, it operates more like a local favorite than a large commercial chain?so don?t expect constant restock of xyz flavor here. What you see is what what you get. Once they?re out of xyz flavor you like, your lost. Come again another day

Best no frills donuts in Seattle! Skip those gimmicky places and come here. The couple that owns the store are so kind and helpful. Apple fritter was so good! Can?t recommend enough!!

Best donuts in Seattle. The owners and staff are always happy to see us and make my daughters feel extra special every time we visit. All the donuts are incredible ? especially the mochninuts and cronuts. The coffee is a good option and the prices are great.

Oh my goodness, The donuts are amazing! I had the bacon Maple donut and I promise you it's top notch. I don't say that about every place, but I will say that the bacon maple bar is incredible. I also tried the ham and cheese croissant and I could eat this everyday for breakfast. Perfect amount of cheese nice fluffy croissant freshly baked. Perfect amount of ham so if you need something that you don't want to go overboard on these are perfect. Kind of a tight corner of a shop but that doesn't affect how gr

I love donuts. I feel that I know a good donut. The apple fritter here is a good donut. In fact, it might be the best donut I've ever eaten. How do you get something to be crunchy, chewy and fluffy all at once? Apple and cinnamon are present and existing in harmony. There's a bit of oil leaking into the bag, but this is a donut. Go get one.

These donuts are so fluffy and perfectly fried. Really delicious! AND they have cronuts! Croissant Donuts! Best cronuts I could find in Seattle!

Solid selection, beautifully merchandised donuts cases, friendly service, and accepting credit cards (including AMEX ??) with a smile! Nothing overly gimmicky or creative, but everything was perfect, fluffy, and delicious. Their shop is also spotless, classy, and colorful. I drove across the lake, because they?re one of Seattle?s top-rated donut shops, and after walking through the door, then eating my breakfast ??, it was clear as to why. I will definitely be back.

3 apple fritters purchased today. As a diabetic I can't eat many carbohydrates, this means I'm very selective in my choices. Slightly crunchy, plenty of apple, and the cinnamon did not overpower the other flavors. They were perfect. It may take me a month to slowly eat all 3 but I will be back for more!

I?m on a mission to try every donut shop in Seattle. This play was really good, but just not quite great. I wanted to love it. The variety of donuts was awesome, and they have both crullers and cronuts?not terribly common in Seattle. Great variety of flavors as well. Docked a star because I felt like I could really taste the oil in the donuts. I?m not sure whether they use a different kind of oil, or if they?re just frying more than ideal before swapping it out, but usually I just dont have the ability to

I really love it here, not much money to buy more often but this my spot if I am craving donuts! The flavors are so yummy and last for days! One thing I learned is that if you come here past 10am expect to be sold out or lower flavors available! Hope you enjoy this place just like me and my kids and support small businesses!!!

This is my family?s favorite donut shop! They are always fresh, delicious and the family that owns and runs the place is extremely friendly. We?ve lived everything we?ve trued here. Especially the cronuts, maple bar and ham and cheese croissant. Yum.

It's a friendly hole in the wall donut shop. The owner is extremely friendly and made a great stop for my husbands birthday. They looked like they had sold out of many of their donuts before we got there (just a little before 10) so get there early. Try the cronut.

Best donuts in town. Seriously. Bought a few dozen for my wedding last year, and they were a hit.

Super fresh and very friendly service. My cinnamon cake donut had a light crisp on some of the raised edges and the inside was light and tasty. Great selection for a small shop. Come here if you also enjoy supporting ?mom and pop? shops!

Amazing donuts, great coffee, and super-friendly staff. The quality and variety of their donuts is fantastic - everything from cake-like textured donuts to their "cronuts" or croissant donuts. Whenever I bring these into work folks are expecting them to be typical chain quality, but always end up surprised and asking where I got them. They also have multiple high-quality espresso machines (Nuova Simonelli) and make a mean latte. Best of all, the staff is always really chipper despite having opened the st

Best classic donuts in the area, but come early! I've been here multiple times after 9am and found that they've run out of donuts or are on their last few leftovers.

Yummy?? my favs of the ones I tried were the white coconut, mochi, and crumb cake. Make sure if you come you do so early in the morning, went there around 12 before and they were sold out. Excited to come back and try new flavors!

I?m not exaggerating when I say this place has the best donuts I?ve ever eaten. I?ve gobbled plenty of maple bars in my time but never any with the freshness, tang and doughy perfection of those here. Move mountains to get to these donuts.

My personal fav donut shop in all of Seattle, their maple cronut is amazing! Family owned, great people, and great donuts.

My favorite donut shop! The family that runs this shop are the sweetest! Faves are apple fritter, old fashioned frosted & glazed but all are delicious

Such a great place to get your donuts! Amazing variety and very tasty! Bonus is you can get a latte from a friendly barista.

The people here are super friendly and nice. We got a half-dozen box and they gave us one donut for free to celebrate the cherry blossoms at UW :). The donut here are super good. The cake donuts are probably my favorites as they know how to make it pretty well. The crueller and cronut is also another delicious ones. the maple bacon is probably a savory dessert as there was so much bacon on it. The bear claw comes with an apple compote inside. You can't really go wrong with any of the donuts here to b

Undoubtedly the best donuts in Seattle. Way better than any crazy expensive gourmet silliness. Just great quality donuts from a superb family business!

Delicious and fresh classic doughnuts with some tasty twists along the way. Love that they have crullers and apple turnovers. The cronut was like a delicious churro in donut form. I like em way better than the big local chains. Get em!

Can't recommend enough if you're in the area! The owners are so nice and the donuts were amazing! Donuts are my dad's favorite breakfast item so we ordered a variety to try. They were all great. Personally, the raspberry iced French Cruller was the best donut I've ever had. I'll think about that donut from time to time. Looking forward to a return visit when we visit the area again.

Delicious! Got the maple cronut - sorry for the not so great image, I crushed the donut and thought to late. So good! & staff super friendly!

This place has great donuts and even better customer service! Super friendly, great selection, and Boston Cream!! It's not easy finding a place that carries them around here :) Huge, yummy croissants (we got ham & cheese). We'll totally be back. (Note that I didn't ask, but I don't think anything here is vegan. Will update if I find out differently next time we go.)

I came two days around 9 and it was closed !! Sold out. I wonder why don't you make more for other people!! Don't you want to make more money and have more customers!! After i tried it. I can taste the oil. It's very oili which tastes really bad. I don't know why the people like it. The worst donuts i have ever tried

Best donuts in Seattle, and then on top of that you get an unbeatable price. Frosting is not too sweet, and the texture is perfect. They also branched into making mochi donuts and those are amazing too. Love this place so much. Atmosphere marked down only because there is no seating, it's only takeout.

The best donut shop in Seattle! They are so friendly and the donuts are delicious. Highly recommend the ham and cheese croissant and bacon maple bar, but you really can't go wrong with the many delicious donut varieties!

Great little find. Stayed at the Hotel next door. Do yourself a favor and come here for your coffee and snack instead of going across the street to overpriced corporate Starbucks. Gentleman working was so nice. He even made my coffee to my exact specifications and also added in the sugar for me. Didn't have to do a thing. My only issue is that this place is small. Inside can maybe hold about 3-5 people at a time. I came back the next day to get some coffee and the line was out the door so I didn't get to go

I love Family Donut!! I come in every couple weeks to pick up a dozen donuts for work. Everyone loves them! The fruit glazes are especially beloved. YOU HAVE TO GO IN EARLY!! They sell out FAST!

I've been coming here for 20 years. These are my FAVORITE donuts in the world. They are fluffy and crispy, and Family Donut has every style. Raised, cake, cronut, cruller, mochi donut... The showstopper, though, is the fritter. Their apple fritter sets the bar for all. So crunchy, so many flavor pockets, but never a raw bit. They put every other fritter I've ever had to shame. (Shout out to Le Donut in Tacoma for being the #2 fritter, though.) I'm headed to Family Donut to get an apple fritter now, and I'm

Wonderful and delicious donuts. Loved the box, too! Friendly service and I felt safe stopping in. The buttermilk donut was the best.

I don't usually bother reviewing anything, but I had to drop a line on this one. These were possibly the best donuts I have ever had. overall, every donut we tried was fantastic. Crisp, soft, and just the right sweetness, and great flavor. And I would also mention the people here are really friendly, and the atmosphere is classic donut shop. highly recommended.

Honestly what a wonderful surprise!! Been looking for s solid donut shop and decided to try this one. I tried 2 very different donuts to start and even a cookie, and they were DELICIOUS. I'm a picky donut eater too, so I walked home in complete bliss and surprise that such a wonderful establishment exists. The owners were super kind and hospitable. The 5 star review on this place is well earned and makes total sense.

Easily the best donuts in Seattle. Very friendly staff, good prices, ample parking.

Delicious Doughnuts! So freaking tasty and the Old Fashioned with No Sugar is highly sought after! If you need to grab some on the way into work, this is all you need!!

Legitimately the best donut shop in Seattle, and probably most places outside of Seattle. The family running it is super nice and friendly, the prices are between reasonable and cheap - certainly cheaper than most other donut places of lower caliber, their variety of donut types are unmatched including cronuts, mochinuts, bearclaws, cinnamon-roll like donuts, and the service is excellent. You have to get in early enough that they don't run out - usually around noon to 2 in my experience, but that is a good

Top notch lady here, she was a peach. Doughnuts were awesome too!

Yes. WOW. Excellent donuts!! They have the perfect texture, the sweet-to-yeast flavor ratio is on-point, and they stay fresh and delicious for a few days (really important when you're travelling solo & buy a dozen, hahaha). And the price is right. I love that they're serving up classics, not the super wild donuts that so many places offer these days. The cruller was my favorite. Plus, the family is super friendly! I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in Seattle.

Omg this place is so goooood!!!! Donuts sell rather fast, but it is worth getting up at 6AM to get there early just to get a good selection :) the family who owns it is very nice and friendly. Perfect start to the morning!!

Awesome small family-owned donut shop with fantastic customer service and delicious un-pretentious donuts. My wife loves their crullers.

Best donuts in Seattle and the friendliest people. Affordable as well.

It will be my first place to have coffee & DONUTS ?? if I visit Seattle again soon ??

These donuts are AMAZING! The owners are incredibly kind and the prices are cheaper than you'll find at any nearby chain store. Be sure to get there early on the weekends - they may be mostly sold out by 11am!

Delicious donuts with the right amount of sweetness and texture. The staff are so friendly and greet you with their smiles. I was lucked out this morning because there was already a line forming when I left. Can?t wait to go back for more yummy donuts!

AMAZING DONUTS. This place does it right. Flavor is not compromised with over-glazing like most other donut shops. Fresh and well made, coffee is good and the staff is incredibly friendly and fun to talk with!

Best donuts in the city! Great service, friendly, kind and fast! Delicious, delicious delicious!

Such a wonderful local hidden gem! I LOVE LOVE LOVE getting the ham and cheese croissant. Always make sure to warm it up before you go. The cronuts are absolutely delicious and the crullers are great as well! Absolutely in love with the bear claw donuts too! Everything is fresh and wonderful. Make sure to get there early before they sell out. This is my favorite donut shop in Seattle.

Really delicious and good quality donuts here! And the employees are super nice! The donuts have great flavor and are perfectly moist, not too oily or anything like some donuts can be. I liked everything I tried, though my favorite was the glazed twist donut. Highly recommend a visit!

Yum! I?m not normally a huge donut fan, but my kid wanted to bring some in for school for her birthday. The old-fashioned chocolate glazed donut that I got for myself was a delight. Huge selection and super friendly staff. Will definitely come here again next time I?m craving donuts! Update: I am obsessed with these donuts. I can?t stop thinking about them, and can?t wait to go back!

One thing Seattle does right is donuts. This place is the pinnacle of dog it?s in Seattle. Some of the friendliest and best service we have ever had. They always throw a few munchkins in the bag which is so nice. Their donuts are amazing and remarkably affordable. Go support these people. But show up early they sell out fast for good reason.

My absolute favorite donut shop in all of Seattle. All of their donuts taste amazing with great texture. Their plain glazed donut is probably the best of the best. Not overly sweet and incredibly fluffy with a great chew to them. Be warned they sell out early and when they sell out, they close the store.

This place is a hidden gem! Quality donuts with friendly service and very reasonable prices. This is my new pit stop before going to work!

I went in this morning and got a dozen donut holes, a blueberry mochi donut, and an iced mocha. The mochi donuts are sooo good! I have never had a donut like this one. The texture, flavors, and dough were all very high quality. This has to be my new favorite donut. The lady working gave me two free samples without me asking and was so polite and kind. The guy making my coffee also was very kind. I went in around 11 am and there were still so many different options which was super impressive! Also the price

Always the best donuts and the nicest staff!

If you didn?t already know this place was ranked in the top donut places in the USA. I probably should post this review because it?s going to make them get too popular and my neighborhood doughnut spot will have lines longer than voodoo doughnuts but since they are a small business, I writing this to help support them. First off, let?s just point out how nice the owners are. They are always super friendly, kind, and loving people. They often give out free sample while your waiting. There?s no secret anymor

Super friendly staff and amazing fresh donuts. The ham and Swiss croissant is the best I have ever had of its kind!! I love this place. Everything is made fresh everyday. Worth the $$. Do visit at least once!!!!

I love this place! Absolutely delicious donuts, great to enjoy on your own or share. My favorite is the sugar donut. When I?ve brought them places people rave about the maple donuts, but you can?t go wrong since they?re all good. I really like their iced coffee with cream too. Service is always friendly and welcoming!

I have never felt so welcome before ?? the staff here are incredible, the food's tasty, and the prices are super affordable! My only issue is I wish they were closer to where I live!

Simply the best donuts/similar pastries I have ever had that weren't homemade. They don't use similar ingredients to most donut shops I've been too, so the donuts taste different and BETTER. They also have a greater variety of donuts/pastries to choose from than any place I've been to, including Voodoo Donuts (interesting but supremely overrated to me) and Krispy Kreme (good but not great overall). They also are functionally only open for breakfast, as usually their entire day's stock is sold before noon,

I?m not fan of donuts but I love this place. They make fresh and delicious donuts. The owners are super friendly. Always smile on her face

My husband absolutely loves donuts and has been searching for a place similar to what he had back home in Texas. We recently just moved here from South Carolina and treated ourselves yesterday. The shop was easy to find, the staff was absolutely amazing and kind. They chatted with us, explained all the donuts they had, and even threw in some donutholes since it was our first visit. The donuts themselves were 100 percent amazing and delicious. I definitely am in love with the old fashioned donut ??????????

Love the mom and pop shop. They are a hot commodity and usually run out around 9 or 10 am depending on the day. My favorite is their orange donut!! Best in the business!

Amazing donuts, wide variety and lovely service. Can?t wait to make this my go to donut shop!

This place is the best. The donuts are delicious and there's a good variety! They always sell them all so get there early for the best variety. My favorites are the cinnamon sugar twist, the buttermilk varieties, and the maple frosted cinnamon roll. The donut holes are delicious. Bonus: the owners are so sweet and friendly and always nice to my kids. Check it out for sure!

I really liked this place but I was recently in there getting 4 dozen premium donuts and they were giving me 3 to 4 non premium donuts per dozen and on 2 of the dozen instead of a donut I got 4 donut holes instead and when I asked why then they couldn't communicate very good all of the sudden they do have great donuts but I really don't understand shorting a customer who frequently buys 4 to 6 dozen donuts I was not asking for extra just what I paid for

Family Donets are the best. They begin the day at 1am. Ready to serve fresh. When sold out, they close. Perfect business! THE BEST DONETS and different then all the typically sold. Yummy ??

THE BEST donuts you will ever haaaaaave. Do not go anywhere else! Any other donut shop claiming they're the GOAT are LYING. The GOATs are Family Donut!

The owners are very sweet people! But, I honestly was disappointed! I looked at the prices. I got 6 donuts (1/2 dozen). I paid with my card. After, I realized it came up being $17 something. ?? Maybe, I'll go again to try the coffee!

Man i really like the people who work there and the donuts have potential but they are too oily. I felt so sick after eating them. If they can correct the amount of oil left on the donuts it would be perfect. I thought it was a 1 time thing but I ordered 2 times and it was the same.

Great donut selection, one of the best old fashions (so crispy!). Would 100% come back here even out of the way for some donuts. It was a hit amongst the family.

The best apple fritters I've ever had, nice and crispy and lots of apple. The doughnuts are great too. The owners (I'm assuming they are the owners) are sooooo friendly and cheerful. Seriously, if you like doughnuts or fritters, you have to check it out but go early so you don't miss anything. Great prices too!!

Super delicious donuts! I never really eat them often because 99% of the ones I've tried are overly sweet but these were perfect! The texture is nice and fluffy. The filled donuts were amazing - my favorite is true cream stuffed ones. Thid will be my new go to place from now on!

We?ve been coming here almost every Sunday morning for a couple of months now and we absolutely love it here! This family is so kind and the donuts are always amazing! I also love their Carmel latte! Best donut holes in town! I highly recommend!!

Lovely people, always give our toddler a Donut hole or 2. We rejoiced when we found this nearby. I'm a positive type, so it grieves me to leave a less than 5 star rating for such a favorite place for us to stop in the morning. However there is new ownership, and donuts have changed a bit. The fritters are very flat. Donuts have a lovely crunch on the outside but perhaps a bit too much oil. Maple bars are perfection. The fritters still taste good, the old fashioned plain cake Donuts are really great, but not

This place is a favorite. Always fresh and delicious along with the most friendly service. Definitely the best donut shop around!

Excellent doughnuts at very reasonable prices.

These are seriously some of the best donuts I've ever eaten. The service is great - everyone is super friendly and helpful in deciding which of the many options to choose from if you're like me and have trouble choosing. Some of our go-to's are the maple bar and the glazed buttermilk bars. This is our favorite local donut shop, by far!

This place is an absolute gem. Excellent coffee, incredible doughnuts, such a friendly staff. Pretty sure it's family owned. Best apple fritter I've had in my life. The bear claw is a close second. Even the ham and cheese croissant is a huge winner. I've bought multiple dozens of doughnuts from this place for coworkers and it's always a Huge win! Thank you guys so much!

This place is awesome! Small, quaint, affordable, super friendly, family-owned, and best of all, that donuts are amazing! Not much in the way of a fancy selection, which is fine by me. They do the Staples, they do them well! I stopping here every chance I get.

This is absolutely my favorite donut shop. They are always friendly and generous, and the donuts are the best I?ve ever tasted. They strike the perfect balance between being delicately sweet and being hearty enough to fill you up just the right amount. I always look forward to being greeted with a kind smile and leaving with a sweet treat.

Best apple fritters I?ve ever had and the crullers, old-fashioned, buttermilk, and maple bars are all amazing. Classic donuts that are so much better than the fad/big name shops. Super-friendly family-run business. Please give them a try!

Great donuts. Might be my favorite donut shop out here so far! Had the caramel cronut and the glazed. 10/10 perfect and can?t wait to try the other flavors. Great customer service and prices too!

Run by some of the friendliest and liveliest people around! Great food and incredibly friendly staff. This place has become a frequent stop for me and my friends!

Best donuts in Seattle, IMHO. The bacon maple bars are delicious as are the regular maple bars and pretty much everything else! Ok, I just talked myself into a donut gathering mission. Give Family Donut a try, not just for the heavenly donuts but to support this awesome family business. The early AM hours are a bonus and do go early for the best selection.??????

Delicious Donuts! Get them quick before they sell out. Great Service. I called ahead of time to hold my favorite Bacon Maple Bar. They are NOT stingy with toppings. I definitely recommend this local donut shop.
