Top Pot Hand Forged Donuts - Bellvue

Vancouver has Cartems (among others), Portland has Voodoo Doughnuts (also among others) while Seattle has Top Pot (among...well you know). The original location complete with the iconic vintage repurposed "Topspot" neon sign is downtown but the Bellvue location (one of about 10, I think) was only a block from our Hotel. Perfect!

One thing for sure that all Top Pot locations have in common is really good coffee and amazing doughnuts. There is not a lot of the novelty doughnut stuff that you will find for example at Voodoo. We had a couple of doughnuts and some very good coffee.

I cannot resist their Old Fashioned Glazed. The icing soaks just enough into the doughnut to make it a near perfect experience. Marie's weakness is the Apple Fritter.

This is another offering worthy of some kind of award. Just enough actual apple inside and just a little taste of cinnamon. Very Nice!

Such a pleasant environment. Blond wood chairs and a library if you can actually separate yourself from your laptop.

That being said, I wouldn't criticize you for bringing your laptop and enjoying the surroundings while working. 

We got a couple more to go, the names of which I do not recall. Both were the filled kind. I tried to carefully split one in half and you can see they are not cheap on the filling.

At least once per visit to Seattle we make a stop here for doughnuts and coffee.

For what it's worth, we give Top Pot 4 out of 5.
