Awww. I recently learned that the shop changed ownership. My guy retired.  Going to miss him! It made sense as I had noticed a slight decline in the donuts.  They still have a great selection of donuts, but I love me a glazed raised and it’s not quite the same.

Had a chocolate glazed and an old fashioned.  Both were good, but not great.  Not sure I understand the hype.

I needed some sweet treats to take back home to Chicago. This shop has easy off/on access to I5 so our stop on the way to the airport was fast and easy. The parking lot had ample parking with easy access. The store is at the east end of the strip mall and could be missed. I was in and out of the store in under two minutes and that’s a big plus in my book. The place is clean, has a small number of tables for those wishing to gobble down a fritter before heading home to share the wealth of treats, and there were plenty of employees at 7am on a Friday to help the number of commuting customers on the way to work. All pluses. My one and only issue is the lack of descriptions on all but the Maple Bacon Long John. As an out-of-towner I assumed some more popular varieties and was back out the door. Had there been names on each one I’m sure I’d have grabbed a few more to try back home or on the airplane but didn’t want to chance something not turning out to be not what I expected. On my tight schedule and quick customer flow it just didn’t make sense to start asking about the ten or so unusual looking donuts and wasting additional time. Otherwise a perfect experience and they were still super fresh and flavorful after a couple thousand miles and almost 12 hours of driving, flights, waiting, and more driving to get back home to Chicago. Good experience.

The donuts are amazing, some of the best I have ever tried and best in Seattle! The service is top notch! The guys working are so friendly and welcoming. They talked to my Father in Law for a good hour in between customers and they happen to recognize my family every time we go in. Highly recommend this place!

Family Donut is still my favorite donut place. Every donut is perfect from the maple bar to the classic cake donut. I’m a simple girl and tend to stick to the cake donut. That plus a cup of coffee and I am very happy. The owner is always very nice and he remembers you even when it’s been awhile. I’d pick Family Donut over Top Pot or Mighty-O any day (and I do)! A mixed dozen is now $10.99 including tax.

This doughnut shop is one of the few that actually sells French Crullers, which are my personal favorite! And they are glorious. Make sure to arrive early; Everything here is so delicious that they are known to frequently sell out!

I love this place! It is a bit of a “hole I the wall” type joint but that adds to the charm. Come get the best donuts in Seattle but please leave a Bismark for me.

I got a dozen donuts (finally) and they were amazing! The guy who helped me was so sweet that it made the whole experience that much better. I came closer to closing time but I can only image how delicious these would be right at open. :)

I picked up half dozen donuts yesterday and they were fresh and delicious. Great value, great taste.

good service and freshly baked pastries! open from 4am to 3pm, wow! nice to have a mom n pop business in the neighborhood.

I just picked up a half dozen donuts here for the first time and let me tell you. They are delicious. The lemon and orange donuts we got are some of the lightest textured donuts we’ve had in this style, nice and fluffy inside. The icing has enormous citrus flavor! And my partner says the apple fritter is the best they’ve ever had. I’m definitely recommending them to my friends.

Always friendly service. Donuts are consistently big and tasty. I usually get a glazed cinnamon twist, apple fritter, or a raspberry jelly filled. I’m never disappointed. Haven’t had the cake doughnuts (I’m more of raised doughnut type dude) but they look tasty.

The donuts are perfect, there’s a great selection, and it’s very inexpensive. It’s way better than Top Pot and costs about half as much. Let me put it this way: you can eat a dozen donuts here, and with all the money you save you can pay for your own liposuction, you fat bastard.

Such a friendly family owned donut place. Move ova top pot!! I would choose any day to support local businesses over chains and I used to love top pot but somewhere along the way, their donuts started to become a little lackluster and a little overpriced. enter this place! I’ve heard great things about the donuts here and also how nice the owners were, but I finally experienced it first hand when I stopped in today. They’ve got some unique items including these ginormo apple turnovers with crumbled cinnamon on top that look like empanadas! This place ain’t fancy but when you can boast in flavor you don’t need fancy. Shall be stopping by every Sunday before church for my weekly donut fix!!

Nicely priced, great service, fresh and quality donuts.

I love this place. The donuts are good, and it has a good community feel in a not-so-community area. They always give my little one free donut holes, which makes her super happy.

I love the apple fritter, actually the only complaint is that it’s too big? you can’t eat other things so you always have to share this delicious monster treat.   It’s been a couple years since I’ve been here, but I was inspired after an overpriced fritter had at BlueStar Doughnut in Portland. Good Job Family Doughnut - a legit hole in the wall.

I’m writing this as I stuff my face with donuts. After reading the reviews my boyfriend and I woke ourselves at 7AM and took a drive. Firstly, I can smell the the fresh donuts 15 feet away exiting the vehicle. I’ve NEVER experienced that before. I imagine that’s what my heaven should smell like. Secondly, upon entering the layout– while small is very lovely. Molasses glaze-color walls, some anime ‘thank you’ drawings, and of course freshly baked donuts!! Thirdly, the family that owns this establishment got it right: the wife makes the donuts and places them on display as we ordered and the husband takes and prepares the orders with all of his friendliness and charm. Did I mention it’s AFFORDABLE? $3.50 for 3 donuts and $2 latte. Can’t go wrong in a city that gouges people’s wallets for the hell of it. Texture: My cruller was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and tasted sweetly sinful. Every donut features different areas of light crunch paired with a melt-in-your-mouth softness. What kept coming to mind was the perfect oversized funnel cake. Don’t hesitate. Just go.

It’s a donut shop in a strip mall.  It was also one of the best apple fritters I have ever had.  My kids loved their donuts, too. The fellow behind the counter was super-friendly, and made a simple donut shop visit a fun experience. We’ll be back!

We love coming to this place. Enjoy it more than most of those new age fancy shops. I love the crueler and maple bacon bar. Crispy  fresh bacon bits on a fluffy maple doughnut. It doesn’t get better than that. Owner is always nice. Prices are great.
