Family Donut Shop

I’ve been a loyal customer of Family Donut Shop in Northgate for quite some time, and I make it a point to stop by at least once a week to grab donuts for work. Honestly, this place never disappoints, it’s a true gem for anyone who loves fresh, quality donuts. From the moment you walk in, you can tell the staff genuinely cares about their customers. The service is always friendly, kind, and welcoming. Every visit, the employees are attentive, wearing masks and gloves, which adds to the sense of safety and hygiene. The shop itself is super clean, and you can see that they take pride in maintaining a tidy, pleasant environment for everyone. Now, let’s talk about the donuts—they are absolutely out of this world. Their apple fritters are incredible: crisp on the outside, soft and flavorful i

One of the best donut shops to stick around Seattle for many years. It’s just a simple locally run shop serving classic recipes. Don’t be surprised if they sell out! Show up early 😀 My favorite is the Old Fashioned, tried and true. You can tell it’s popular based on the fact that they sell out so quick!

Old-school, family-owned shop with solid donuts all around, plus a couple unique options. My faves: • Blueberry cake donut: The glaze has a really nice, strong blueberry flavor with actual chunks of fruit. • Ham and cheese croissant: Really their only savory option. Nice and flaky. Ask for it warmed up. • Maple cruller: Crispy edges and lovely soft interior. • Croissant donut: I'm starting to see these pop up and donut shops more lately. This one is particularly good. Again, super crispy edges! • Maple bacon bar: Nice big chunks of bacon make for a perfect savory-sweet treat. • Apple fritter: Makes great use of its surface area to maximize the craggly bits (AKA the best part). Almost like a cookie in a very good way. They've also got a few cafe drinks and their prices are super reasonabl

Hands down, Family Donut was the best donut I had while in Seattle — and trust me, I tried quite a few! It’s not the fanciest spot, but don’t let that fool you. It’s definitely worth the visit if you’re a donut lover. The dough — super moist and perfectly soft. I tried both the classic glazed donut and their cronut-style donut, and both were absolute winners. The glaze was just the right amount of sweetness, and the cronut had that perfect crispy-soft texture. What really makes it stand out is the value. You get a decent-sized donut for a great price, which isn’t always the case with some other places. Plus, the staff is super friendly, which just makes the whole experience even better. If you’re in Seattle and craving a solid donut, Family Donut should definitely be on your radar!

Best donuts in the city hands down. Easy to get coming off I5 and then to hop back on. As a warning, they sell through pretty well so for the best selection, you'll want to get in before 8. Even when they're down to a smaller selection though, its all good. Often get asked where I got the donuts from when I bring them in for the office.
