Editor’s picks
Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation. Updated July 2026.
Family Donut Shop · Northgate
Inexpensive, exemplary donuts in Northgate glazed with actual bits of blueberry, orange zest, or raspberry puree, plus buttermilk bars that hold their own against the fruit glazed rounds. Weekend regulars know to show up before 10am or the case is empty.
Raised Doughnuts and Cakes · Central District
A rotating monthly lineup in the Central District built around a mochi sugar donut made with rice flour for a chewy bite, alongside doughnut holes dusted in freeze dried raspberry and seasonal specials like caramel crunch crullers that sell out fast.
Ben's Bread Co. · Phinney Ridge
A Phinney Ridge bakery that treats the donut like an engineering problem, its Whole Donut fusing the ring and the hole into one nutty, yeasted piece of dough with a lightness that is hard to find elsewhere in the city.
Fuji Bakery-ID/King St · International District
A Japanese bakery in the International District whose malasadas take the format somewhere different, including a cornflake crusted Crunchy Cream that trades the usual glaze for texture and crunch. The rest of the pastry case is worth a slow look too.
Chuck's Donuts · Renton
A Renton counter known for maple bars finished with whipped maple icing, a version of that specific donut that regulars drive across the south end for. It is a plain, dependable stop that has kept its following over the years.
