Customer Reviews

Delicious doughnuts with a light, airy texture and just the right amount of sweetness. My favorites were the Coffee Bomb and Lemon Poppyseed?highly recommend trying them! The coffee is also great, and the ambience is bright and inviting. A perfect spot to enjoy coffee and doughnuts while getting some work done.

??? Mighty-O Donuts: Seattle?s Sweetest Spot! ??? Seattle, have you ever tasted a donut so good it feels like a hug in every bite? ?? That's Mighty-O Donuts for you! From their signature organic and plant-based treats to their always-warm, friendly service, Mighty-O has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of so many in our community. ?? Whether you?re grabbing a classic like the Good Ol? Glazed, indulging in the Chocolate Raspberry, or savoring their seasonal creations, every donut is made with love and

???????????Absolutely love Mighty-O Donuts! The quality of the donuts is incredible ? perfectly soft, flavorful, and made with real ingredients. Whether you're craving a classic or something wacky, every donut tastes fresh and thoughtfully crafted. What really made my visit stand out was the amazing customer service. Chloe was so friendly and helpful and made sure I had everything I needed. Her positive energy and attention to detail made the experience even sweeter. Highly recommend this spot ? delicious d

One fine Saturday morning, we discovered this charming donut shop, and it set the perfect tone for the day. We tried a mix of coffees and a variety of delicious donuts, including the Apple fritter, a jam-filled delight, and a zesty lemon poppy seed. Each bite was a treat. The two friendly ladies serving us provided impeccable service, making our visit even more enjoyable. For a delightful morning treat and friendly service, this donut shop is a must-visit. It's the perfect way to kick off your Saturday w

The donuts we received (for $5 each?) were beyond disappointing. I?m all for vegan treats, but these were so bad we couldn?t eat more than a bite. They tasted so strongly of rancid oil, like they had gone bad or they were fried in old oil. Caused the person who ate their whole donut to be sick with food poisoning symptoms. Would ask for a refund but I?d rather not go back. Unfortunately you should find your vegan sweets elsewhere.

my favorite hazelnut lattes are from mighty-o <3 the barista who makes them (didn't catch her name, ahh, but she works Sunday mornings, is usually there in the mornings, and has a pony-tail and a huge smile) is the absolute best! she's so friendly and always makes my day - she makes the most delicious lattes in the area and it's always such a dopamine hit for me hehe

We love all the fun donuts here and they have tasty locally roasted coffee. Aja and Chloe made my girls feel extra special! The low table for kids is a nice touch

Delicious, perfectly glazed yet guilt-free donuts. They didn't have a creme filled option which is my default choice, and they are a little pricey but it was a good treat. The barista on staff also helped about five people in the fifteen minutes I was here, very quick service. Could have been more friendly and cleaner inside. Sweet hang out or meeting spot, can't miss the O!

Truly delightful! I needed a little break from my morning and this was just what I needed. ????

Stopped in with my son to grab donuts and coffee. The staff was friendly and struck up conversation with us. The coffee I had was Francesca?s recommendation: Hazelnut oat latte and it was delicious, not too sweet -it was perfectly balanced. Donuts: Nutty french toast, raspberry (ignore the bite taken out in photo ??), and coffee bomb. Delicious as well

Been several times. Overall OK but could be more consistent - from the donuts (some days super good, other days drier) to the staff attitudes, etc. What mainly brings me back is my dog - he likes the doggie donut. Most recently went in today (Sunday) at 815am. Didn't look open - sign wasn't on. But saw person sitting at register on laptop and that store opens at 7am. Went in. No hello, how's it going. I get it. We're in Seattle and it's early (not really) but a smile or something would be nice. Anyway, hus

Meh. Dry and flavorless. I had much higher expectations @ $4.45 per donut.

Ahh, a happy brindled, pittie dressed as a pumpkin was most happily welcomed here. A fine selection of meaty, healthy donuts are to be found here. Cinnamon Sugar and Lemon Poppyseed, mmmm, gooood... "Don't take too much of that jelly." Filling donuts these are. Must be the natural ingredients.

Cute and cozy donut coffee shop! Plenty of seating and free street parking depending on day and time. Delicious espresso and I love their yeast raised donuts. Quality organic and gluten-free donut options.

Disappointing donuts but service was good and their cappuccino is not bad. Picked up a dozen sugar cinnamon mini donuts to satisfy my mini donut craving. Given it was at the end of the day and pretty slim pickings, I should have known better - especially for $1 per teeny donut that's literally like 1.5 inches in diameter! The consistency was a bit too 'cakey' for my liking but for the most part just okay. What was odd is that some were a bit more dense and dry so didn't taste the freshest. They really shou

The donuts are DELICIOUS and I had absolutely no idea that they were vegan til I came to leave a review . I also ordered a caramel macchiato and it was delicious, not overly sweet.

Excellent service by barista Christina and my lemon poppy donut was very tasty. Place has lots of tables inside and outside (during warmer weather). I'll be back!

I love their March special drink cherry blossom matcha latte! It is actually made with rose and strawberry syrup. It is so good!

caitlin was so friendly and helpful! will definitely be back

This is a go-spot for donuts to take into the office, since I love love love their Cafe Vita coffee too. The donuts are pricey, and I've had trouble making arrangements in advance in the past, but...I'm writing to compliment the young woman who helped me today. She is always pleasant and caring and really goes the extra mile for guests. Service is quick and yet patient for those of us who might be indecisive about flavors and the like. :) Thank you, Mighty-O, for making my morning that much sweeter.

We love the Ballard Mighty-O! Living so close to this spot I always know that I can get a reliable coffee and the perfect bite size mini donut. The staff here are so friendly, and we particularly appreciate the way Aja goes out of her way to remember our drink preferences. Kindness + Quality truly.

Delicious coffee, fun & creative donut types like ?French Toast?, which was simply divine, and a nice open space to hang out and relax. I?m more of a savory & salty fan, but I could eat these donuts every week.

I come in often & want to write a review about Christina, who's always notably friendly & warm - actually, there are several employees who I regularly notice going out of their way to make everyone feel welcome & seen, I just haven't caught their names. I enjoy this place mainly because of the kind & positive staff. The pop-ups they do for local artists are also a nice touch. Thank you, you're appreciated!

Love this spot! Been coming here for ages since I have an egg allergy and all their donuts are vegan. They have a great selection of flavors - especially recommend the grasshopper and coffee bomb. Shoutout to Christina for her recommendations on this month?s specials.

So many beautiful donuts! I went with the s?mores special. And I got a peach fritter. I?ve never had a peach fritter and it was hard to choose from the classic apple fritter or the peach.

Really good doughnuts and coffee. We tried the apple fritters, cinnamon toast doughnut and the mint grasshopper flavors.

So delicious! Oh my! I haven't been able to have a donut in so long due to a dairy allergy. Today was my day! They even had samples out! Everyone watched me eat my first bite. Heaven. I will be back. Try the lemon poppyseed-fantastic! Thank you, thank you!

Aja is so nice, and always remembers me which is just the best. They make really good decaf too!

ballard mighty o is one of my fave spots in town. i can?t stay away from these donuts!!! great vibes too, Aja and Christina remember my drink and donut order and are always so friendly! highly recommended if you need a treat in the morning or afternoon as well as a nice cup of coffee

Yummy vegan doughnuts! My personal fav is lemon poppy seed!!! Stop by here for a delicious doughnut and friendly, fast service! Love this place!!! One of my personal favorites for a delicious treat!

MY. FAVORITE. DONUTS. I feel good about eating Mighty-O donuts and its not because they are made with organic ingredients (even though organic is a very nice quality), it's their donut texture and glaze. Mighty-O donuts are close to the texture of a cake donut, but IMO have a unique texture. They're not like those deep-fried / oily donuts from the other famous donut chain in town. Mighty-Os donut glaze melts in your mouth. As far as flavors go: The plain Cinnamon Sugar donut is pretty darn perfect ? my g

Aja was very helpful and the cafes ambiance was perfect for us, I am so glad we wandered in here after exploring the Locks. It is great that the donuts are plant based, especially the chocolate raspberry and peanut butter chocolate and the coffee.

My fave doughnut spot in Seattle so far! They make delicious cake doughnuts. I usually go for the old fashioned, cinnamon or coconut flavors! Solid coffee too.

So many excellent baristas at this shop! My recent fave is Aja. Aja is an absolute ray of sunshine. She gives me just the boost I need to start my day, often more-so than the 4 shots of espresso I get in my drink. LOVE her and all the staff ??

My favorite donut place in Seattle! The vegan creme filled is great. Visited today and Christina was very friendly and helpful. Will be back many times.

Always great donuts and good coffee! Caitlin was friendly and the location is good.

I have lived in the area for nearly a year. I've passed by on foot and via motorized vehicle many times without stopping until yesterday. And that's when everything changed.

Love their vegan doughnuts! They're also ahead of the game by mainly using compostable supplies (lids, napkins, etc. - none of the staff ever know whether the cups are compostable). They also have legit coffeeshop hours. But on weekends be sure to arrive early if you want a good selection of doughnuts! Mighty-O is popular!

The mocha and Devil's Playground donut were both great. Will definitely go again!

Aja was awesome and their donuts are super tasty. This spot has been around for awhile and has my fav - chocolate with peanuts. Spacious and chill inside. Kid friendly seating.

I am so happy I stumbled across this amazing donut shop! I tried the Maple Bar and oh my goodness... Delicious ?? I can't believe it was dairy-free! I am so happy I've found a place with dairy-free options! I'll definitely be back!

I have never enjoyed a pastry here and i think its weird that they are vegan but still serve dairy? Go hard or go home

Good if these cake donuts are your thing! I hadn?t even realized they were vegan. They?re just in my neighborhood, so I thought I?d give ?em a try

Well well well. Here we are again. Thought you could keep away from me didnt you? Didn?t you? No no. Me and my two legs got on over to ball ard and got me a raspberries fancy doughnut and a small coffee for me. I like how it is a dense af doughnuts. Don?t dip. No no. Don?t dip. This doughnut crumbles and does not hold form whence coffee it does touch. Enjoy separately. They do have coffee

Mighty-O makes great cake donuts. The nutty french toast is my favorite, but they're all good, and they have some fun seasonal flavors. They are dog-friendly, which we appreciate. The soy and oat milk lattes are great. We and our dog enjoyed their Tour de Donut bike event in May. Parking at the Ballard location can be tricky at times.

I keep meaning to review this place. It was a lifeline of normalcy for me during the worst of the last pandemic. They had a great set up and opened the big bay doors to make sure people had space and airflow. The coffee and donuts always cheered me up. Recently I?ve had to be more aware of dietary requirements and Mighty-O is great about posting ingredients which are much more natural than you?d expect from most donut places. It?s amazing to find a delicious vegan donut.

I?ve frequented this location more often than any of the other Mighty-Os in the last few years. The staff is always great. I love that Mighty-O is soy-free, organic, and plant-based. Their specialty donuts are my fave (maple bar, fritter, seasonals) or their cinnamon sugar. I?ve noticed an overall low availability of the donuts I?m looking for past 11:30, or even 10am. But really depends on the day. And that?s to be expected with anything like this, not a complaint. I?ve honestly never liked any of their

The best donut I ever had and it was Vegan! I was warmly greeted, the interior decorations were cute as well. One Employee (wish Icaught her name) was so kind to give me a donut, french toast tasted like a slice of heaven. I see why it was featured on the food network! Love this chain raising the bar for donut and sweets quality. Our junk food shouldn't be made with junk and this brand is a testament to that. 10/10 recommend! Cant wait to try more flavors when back in Seattle.

The awesome mood this shop had this morning was very cheerful. Plus it was my first trying this place. Great place to start your day!

We placed an order for roughly 100 donuts for our wedding. After 2 email confirmations with Mighty O?s saying that our donuts would be available for pickup that day, they were not. The order wasn?t even prepared. Please take massive caution if ever ordering in advance from this company.

Amazing donuts!! Thus far I've had Lemon Poppy, French Toast, Devil's Playground (chocolate with sprinkles) and the Powdered Jam-O's! All delicious!

The donuts and coffee were so delicous at this location and the selection was great and the customer service was even BETTER!! Shoutout to Christina who made the coffee, and was so cheerful when helping me pick a donut. Highly recommend this place!

My wife is allergic to Eggs so I was looking for a place with vegan donuts. Low and behold Mighty-O! They had a huge selection of vegan donuts that's taste amazing!

A nice place for vegan donuts. Tried the lemon poppy donut and was pretty good. The staff are also pretty friendly.

I?m always coming to get my donut coffee 10 minutes after she told me close. We?re close customer service. It?s acceptable. I?m not gonna recommend it no more thank you

Overpriced and disappointing. I got the creme filled chocolate covered donut, and it was not good. Cream filling was flavorless and absorbed into the donut, making it soggy. Chocolate frosting was thin and didn't add anything to the donut but a sticky mess. Lastly the coffee was not fresh or hot.

I purposely made myself late for work because I wanted Ahja to make me coffee. Her personality and quality coffee are the reason I am a regular again. I hope she's treated well by upper management and that she stays forever!

Mighty-O in Ballard is a favorite for sure! They hosted my flower business for pop-ups all summer long and I had the best time. I am very grateful for their kind and hospitable staff (Abbie is the sweetest!). And... the donuts! I can't say I have had a better sprinkle donut from anywhere else. Thank you Mighty-O!!

Picked up a dozen donuts for a visit and tour of KEXP. Heard John liked their vegan donuts. They were delicious!

Yeast donuts are under proofed and the cake are very dry. The cappuccino is mediocre at best.

The need to CLEAN their store! But never fear! Voodoo Donut?s is opening 3stores aroundBig O donuts!

I love this Mighty O location!! The baristas are super friendly and it's a great place to sit and get some work done.

Very disappointed with my experience here. I was absolutely shocked that a place that advertises itself as plant based uses dairy milk as a default in their coffee and further discourages people from subbing plant milks by charging a .75? upcharge which is higher than anywhere else I?ve ever seen (even Starbucks). Makes their claims of caring about the environment seem totally bogus. I won?t be able to return or recommend this store until they make a change.

Worst donut place! I drove a great distance to get a non dairy donut only to be disappointed when I drove all the way home (45 miles away). I paid way too much for donuts and didn?t even get the donuts I ordered. Won?t go there again

Ohhhhhh yeah.... Organic, delicious, made in house donuts. These things are delicious. Super friendly and helpful staff too. You can tell they like working here because they are all so nice and happy to talk about their donuts. I actually bought a half dozen to take to my sister's to share with my niece and nephew because they are a somewhat "healthy" option for a donut then others out there but we ended up eating them all that night before the kids could have them in the morning!!

I definitely recommend going early so that the donuts are fresh and you have many options to choose from!

Love that all their donuts are vegan! Good variety of flavors. I had the nutty french toast, my partner had the jelly one and we both were really happy and thought they were delicious - my partner hates Voodoo Donuts and seemed to really love this one from here so that?s awesome! Lots of space to hangout inside, nice vibes, I love their mission - being sustainable, organic, non-gmo and they compost too! Highly recommend checking it out if you?re in the area or make a trip out!

Love the consistent texture of this donut, it is more like a cake. Light frosting with bold flavor. Well behaved kids friendly. Wonderful season specialties. This location appears to have staff that enjoy their work which adds to a sense of well needed lightness in Ballard. Eat your view. Tip well.

This place does not use dairy or egg in their donuts, and it really shows. Probably the blandest (and most expensive!) donut I've ever eaten in my life. Even if I were I vegan (and I was for a period of time) I would rather skip out on this donut. Also, my partner's hot chocolate would be more adequately described as steamed milk, and likewise my mocha was just a latte. The coffee itself was good I guess? I feel like I got robbed honestly.

Standard donut place with some creative flavors. If you like cakey donuts and are looking for a quick bite, this place beats Top Pot.

As someone unable to get dairy, it's very nice to go somewhere I don't have to worry about anything on the menu! The donuts are nice fluffy cake donuts. They get stale fast though so I don't recommend getting a bunch unless you're gonna eat them asap.

We get donuts here weekly - at first I absolutely loved them but as time has gone on I feel as if they are becoming bland and losing lots of flavor. I?m wondering if this is due to making large quantities with people ordering for delivery during quarantine. The lemon poppyseed is still really great because it?s the glaze that packs the punch. Will continue to come because my kids love them but hoping they get their zest back!

Delicious vegan donuts! The chocolate raspberry is particularly yummy ??

Decent donuts; I love that they're vegan, but they often feel dry and are a little sweeter than I like my donuts. The true highlight of this shop are some of the best oat milk cortados I've ever had. The barista quality is surprisingly consistent here. Nice staff and location. Bonus points for using compostable cups and lids.

Another entry is Seattle's overpriced and over hyped cake donut scene. I'm not any of these places would survive on the east coast

Love the donuts and the Barista Aja is super sweet and extremely warm and welcoming!

I was leaving Cycle Dogs (LOVE YOU CYCLEDOGS)_and was wanting something sweet. Standing out on the sidewalk, hoping there was some place nearby other than 7-11 I could pick up a treat, I was so shocked to learn that the place literally next door was vegan donuts. I know, I know....after learning about them, I should know, but I am new to Seattle so give me some slack ;). I went in and got their seasonal special, which was an Orange Blossom and a French Toast Donut. I was very happy with these two. It's not

I really liked these donuts. I am a big donut fan and have had many all over the world. I liked these because they were not too sweet. Also they are cake (I like yeast) but they were so light and fluffy I liked them a lot. Not dense like cake style can be. Good mix of flavors. Bright lemon poppy. French toast flavor was our fav. Bit expensive (3.50 to 5 for 2) but worth it. But they are organic! First for that for me.

They?ve got best Americano in Ballard. They make americano with layer of the crema on the top ?? Their donuts are great. They are not extremely sweet but the right sweetness. Also they let the dog inside which is the greatest part of this place.

From my first visit here I found the coffee was good, but the donuts were no near a mighty "o". Maybe they were just having an off day? My wife and I tried a couple different varieties and they were nowhere near Top Pot--closer to bagels than donuts! Might be willing to try again because the coffee was good, however.

If you?re thinking of going here, think again. This was the worst donut I have ever had in my entire life. I got a maple bar that tasted nothing like maple. The maple glaze tasted like cleaning supplies. Also this place is super overpriced. I payed $15 for three donuts. Overall, terrible experience. Very upset with wasting my time and money coming to this place

This place is great! We came here for 3 dozens, and they were all ready to go! I absolutely recommend this place for anyone who needs to do something for others!

Before I moved to Seattle one of my Vegan friends told me to make a visit here and that I would not be disappointed. She was quite right! I stopped in at the Mighty-O and got a chocolate peanut butter donut. It was a wonderful donut just the right texture between cake-like and fluffy. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and free wifi. These tasty treats go quick so be sure to get there earlier in the day.

Oh my goodness! We love these donuts so much! We bought them for a year before we found out that they're vegan and organic. Get there earlier in the day for the most variety. We highly recommend the Grasshopper and the Cocoaloco.

I love mighty O's! They get my coffee order right every single time. Excellent baristas and amazing donuts.

Their chocolate raspberry is my favorite doughnut of all time. They're a great company who put sustainability at the forefront of their operation.

Vegan Donut? Seriously?! Yes!!! I'm immediately biased against anything vegan, but nothing will dissuade me from trying a donut. Mighty-O does not disappoint, particularly with the low expectation you have going into a vegan donut shop. Thankfully the sugar is there, and also an ephemeral crispy texture that treats me well. The core flavor though does ride the delicate balance of being enjoyable and off-putting at the same time. This is less of an issue in the chocolate varieties, which I recommend. For d

Amazing. I'm in town, from Arizona, visiting my sister. We stopped in so she could sit down and take care of some business and I got a donut and coffee and was amazed. The donuts are so amazing. I have the Donut King because I love coconut. it was the best
