Top Pot Doughnuts

Began in February 2002 out of a small brick storefront on north Capitol Hill in Seattle, Top Pot paired a vintage aesthetic with a gourmet spin on the old “coffee and doughnuts” routine.

Soon, in this town known for more than a few coffee shops, some patrons were driving twenty miles or more to the little doughnut shop on Capital Hill where—from the beans to the bookcases—obvious care was paid to every detail. In response to Top Pot's wild popularity, we have decided to open two more Seattle locations.

In each new neighborhood, a whole new demographic has embraced Top Pot's unusual blend of striking design, aromatic coffee, and hand-forged doughnuts. Tattooed hipsters, soccer moms, the business elite, and retirees all feel at home here—because everyone loves a great doughnut!
