Family Donut Shop

Family Donut Shop - Review - Northgate - Seattle - The Infatuation

"This Northgate donut shop churns out exemplary, inexpensive donuts that also happen to be the best in town. And while many casual, high-volume shops suffer from unremarkable frosting pumped with artificial flavors, oily dough, and dry cake, that’s not the case at Family Donut. Instead of fake fruit essence, the donuts are coated with a glaze that contains actual bits of blueberry, orange zest, or raspberry puree. A heavy hand of buttermilk makes bars phenomenally moist and tangy, and old fashioneds are soft on the inside despite the craggy crunchy edges. Even the free little hole on a stick you get on your way out is special. Just note that on weekends, they can (understandably) sell out by 10am." - Aimee Rizzo
