The 15 Best Donuts In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"9th & Hennepin is a West Seattle operation that started out as a truck parked at farmer's markets around the city, and they serve phenomenal fried dough that features fresh produce. We're talking about things like rainbow carrots, pears, plums, and herbs galore. Every donut here, be it lime hominy cake with tequila glaze or french cruller rubbed in meyer lemon sugar, are fried to order, so they couldn't be fresher (or hotter, so be careful). Plus, they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer for the occasional wheatless option. Whether you place an order to grab a filled brioche or book the entire truck for a wedding, these donuts are worth any and all extended efforts." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

The Best Gluten-Free Restaurants In Seattle - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Gluten-free donuts are great, but when dropped in the same oil as their wheaty counterparts, it’s like letting a wasp into your house but then hiding from it in another room. There’s still a wasp in your house. 9th & Hennepin serves phenomenal donuts full of wasps—we mean wheat—but they also have a dedicated gluten-free fryer they use at least once a month (announced with regular menu updates). Every donut here, be it lime hominy cake with tequila glaze or french cruller rubbed in meyer lemon sugar, are fried-to-order, so fresh donuts can be a reality for gluten-free folks instead of an existential rummage through the supermarket bakery’s allergen section." - aimee rizzo

The Best Doughnuts in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"Named after a Tom Waits lyric, 9th and Hennepin is based out of a kitchen in West Seattle, serving doughnuts hot, as they were meant to be served. Eschewing the candy crumble genre of doughnuts, this Fridays-and-weekends-only operation serves an ever-rotating selection of flavors based on what’s in season at local farmers markets. Past standouts include a Yukon potato brioche long john, and honeycrisp apple and dried cherry fritter." - Mark Van Streefkerk

9th and Hennepin’s Fried-to-Order Doughnuts Reappear at Farmers Markets | Eater Seattle

"A few years after a failed Kickstarter derailed plans to open a late-night, fried-to-order doughnut bar on Capitol Hill, I watched Justin Newstrum’s 9th and Hennepin resurface as a booth at farmers markets (Sundays on Capitol Hill and Saturdays in South Lake Union) and begin selling fritters, crullers, brioche thumbprints, and cake doughnuts topped and filled with seasonal flavors like blackberry-raspberry, verbena sugar, and strawberry compote at venues including Bar Ciudad and Badwill’s new biweekly Georgetown market. I note that Newstrum — a veteran of the now-defunct Crave and a former executive chef of Portage Bay Cafe who held pop-ups in 2014 and briefly planned a Capitol Hill space and a permanent pop-up at the Capitol Hill Bauhaus — is deliberately building a client base through at least a year of market appearances before trying again to secure a permanent home, and that he’s committed to working with local, seasonal ingredients (potatoes for raised and cake doughnuts; summer berries and cherries for jams; pumpkins, butternut squash, quince, apples, and pears for fall fillings) to deliver hot, made-to-order doughnuts discovered via Facebook and Instagram." - Adam H. Callaghan

Super fresh, fluffy donuts with new flavors each week! This week I got the filled brioche with Raspberry-Blackberry jam and the donuts just melt in your mouth. (My photos do NOT do thus justice) The donut was perfectly proofed and the jam complemented the vanilla glaze perfectly. I may have to come back tomorrow to get another one!! Check them out!

These have become my weekend staple now after moving into the neighborhood. These are the best donuts in the city hands down. The everything box contains 4 donuts - 2 cake donuts, 1 filled brioche and 1 fritter. The flavors are mind-blowing and so unique. They change the flavors weekly. You won’t find such flavors anywhere else. They work out of a commissary kitchen and use local ingredients. It’s pickup only - Friday through Sunday. You can order ahead on the website and set your pick up time. Here’s a little tip: Arrive at the start of your pickup slot time, say 9.15 am for the 9.15-9.25 slot. The donuts are warm and crispy then. And plan to eat them right there - there are a few benches nearby - or in your car. They are made to order and taste the best then. Reheating hasn’t worked well for me. So proud of the what they are doing and feel lucky to be in the neighborhood.

Mind blowing donuts! Best I’ve tried in my whole life! Seasonal ingredients and recipes make this place always a must-go.

We went to the location in Pike Place and were so glad we stopped by! We tried shiso glaze, five spice carrot cake, and the berry glaze - the flavors were all really unique and tasty!! The dough was also really fluffy and the owner was super nice - thank you!!

I think I had the best donut of my life here this past weekend. The buckwheat cinnamon sugar donut was so good and I loved the creativity of the rest of their options. Service was great and ordering/pick-up was super easy! Will definitely be returning to try more flavors. ☺️

These guys really know what they are doing when it comes to donuts. The base doughs are incredibly well-made and the accoutrements to the donuts are novel, exciting and tasty. In particular, I've never had a yeasted fritter with such good taste as their blueberry/blackberry fritters. Meanwhile, glazes like rosewater or basil are mindblowing. Oh, and the donut prices are where they should be. This isn't priced like those silly instagram donut places in the rest of Seattle.

What to say… these are the best donuts I’ve ever had in my life. They are made to order, hot, chewy, with unique flavors that change week over week. Before the truck was consistently parking in Ballard on Sundays I would often make the trek to West Seattle just to get these donuts. They are often the highlight of my weekend, and they are extremely affordable for the quality - I am so grateful to the staff for all of the planning and work that goes into these week over week! The only way to do it is to get all 4 flavors. You won’t regret it!

We’ve started getting donuts every Sunday at Urban Family Brewing. The flavors are incredible and unlike any donut we’ve had before. I don’t know how there isn’t a line around the block!

I'm not usually a huge donut person, but 9th and Hennepin won me over. We caught the food truck at Chuck's Hop Shop on a sunny Saturday afternoon and ordered all four donuts on the rotating menu: a chocolate cake donut with coffee glaze, a brioche filled with Santa Rosa plum jam and vanilla bean, an apple & fig fritter with cinnamon-orange glaze, and a buttermilk whole wheat donut topped with honey glaze. Each one was made fresh to order by the owner, Justin, and served hot -- which I think made all the difference. The brioche and buttermilk donuts were my favorites, but honestly, every donut had great flavor and wasn't overly sweet. If you spot this truck, don't hesitate -- grab them all and thank yourself later!

I think what this place does is it's made to order so each donut is fresh. Any you can enjoy them to their full potential. Pairs well with a hot brewed coffee. Always have creative, cravable, flavor combinations. Only issue I've experienced with the traveling food truck location is that one of the donuts I received was slightly under fried. It was edible but the inner texture was somewhat doughy. Regardless the satisfaction of the flavors were enough to tip the scales for me to overlook it. None were overly too sweet or overly tart. Please go out and support them.

Happened upon this place by luck while showing out of town friends around. We were a little confused because we didn't realize it was just a window butttttt once we figured it out, we ordered a donut off each flavor and wow were they delicious! They are fried as you order so sometimes if they have a line it online orders it can take a few minutes but it is so worth it. The donuts remind me of like the old school donut shops back in California with cake donuts, just with really interesting and unexpected flavors. I've been three times now which doesn't seem like a lot but I've made the drive just for these and I live over an hour away lol. They're delicious, give them a try!

The food truck came to our office building, and I never seen a donut food truck before, and decided to check it out because I saw that they always had interesting and unique flavors. There were three different flavors to choose from. I was shocked to see that they were only $3.50 each, especially coming from a food truck. I decided to try just one, and got the Sherry Vinegar Pear Fritter with Blueberry Glaze. He actually fried the donut and glazed it there; I thought they would just have it all ready to go. The donut was nice and fresh. The texture was really good. All the donuts came with glaze, so I was worried they'd be too sweet, but no, this donut with the blueberry glaze was not too sweet at all. It was so tasty. That one donut made me wanting to try more flavors. I hope the food truck comes around again.

I'm still a fan of 9th & Hennepin! Recently caught them on a Sunday at Urban Family Brewing and am so glad they are in the northern part of Seattle (at least for now) at this location on Sundays! Delridge was hard for me to get to so I'm happy that I can enjoy these donuts more often. If you come to the truck at Urban Family Brewing, I recommend coming on the earlier side -- the shift is 8-12 and I came around 11:45 or so and was too late as they were sold out! Love the rotating menu each week. Flavors continue to be unique and delicious as well as seasonal. I recently enjoyed a blueberry sour cream cake donut with fresh hops glaze - yum! Soo good. Pricing is definitely fair/reasonable! My only minor complaint is that sometimes the donuts can be pretty greasy but nothing beats a donut fresh out of the fryer :)

The best donuts in all of Washington state (i didn't try any other donuts) If I'm correct this is run by one guy who rotates 4 flavors of donuts every week. We went to their ghost kitchen (?) on the weekend to pick up a full set of donuts ($12 for 4) and they make them fresh for every single order. Piping hot donuts hit like no other in seattle. Then a few days later they were selling donuts in a food truck at a brewery (with 2 new flavors) so we went and got a full set again with. I wish this existed in calfornia

They were open at the Trolstice Festival in Fremont. They had some entering flavors and I had a panettone donut. Donuts were made to order and served hot and delicious.

Food: what's not to love? Hot and fresh donuts made to order, hell yes. My boyfriend ordered them through their app, and schedule it for a pick up. Quick and efficient, perfect for any introvert who panic orders.

Hot fresh donuts from a ghost kitchen window in Delridge on Sunday morning. Very easy online ordering - we ordered in advance for a 15 minute window. We were early and they made our donuts as soon as we arrived, so there was a very short wait. I loved my gluten free poppyseed cake donut with an apricot glaze - it was light, fluffy, and with a perfect balance of delicate crunch and tender chewiness. The best gluten free baked goods are ones that are entirely delicious of their own accord and this donut met the bill. I did not have the remaining three donuts - the french cruller with cinnamon sugar, the blackberry filled brioche donut with the urfa biber glaze, and the Rainier cherry fritter with a white chocolate glaze - but the donut-devouring team that I travel with made very short work of them and pronounced them excellent. Cherry hand pie was also delicious according to the team. Menu changes weekly and they may not always have a gluten free option? I would generally recommend eating these hot - because texture and temperature were fantastic - and conveniently there is a picnic table in front of the ghost kitchen on the sidewalk.

Tried donuts from the food truck at Tonnemaker's farmstand in Woodinville. Hands down the best donuts I have every had. Best texture of any donut and the flavors are so unique. I will be looking for the food truck anytime I can.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DONUTS. PERIOD. This is Donuts in its best form...freshly made, a little crispy on the outside, warm and tender inside. Full of flavor, not just overloading you with sugar. The buttermilk donut is to die for, simple elegance presented in a package of happiness. I cannot go back to regular donuts anymore. And the kicker is they are reasonable for all the love and care that goes into each one. They are more comparable to a made to order dessert at a restaurant. What a stupid crumbl cookie costs $5, this is a steal!

Warm, fresh donuts out of a unassuming and sensible food truck. Went on a crisp, hailing Thursday morning. We got one of each to sample. The menu was inspired and playful--you can tell Justin takes care each week to craft new flavors and textures. This week was a nod to the upcoming Lunar New Year: the Spice Cake Donut was reminiscent of a dimsum taro pastry while the Honey Cake Bar was of you tiao or niu li su. The other two donuts were good but the cake ones were other-wordly. The cake was impossibly moist but had a crackly, caramelized crust. The glazes light but poignant. On top of quality, the donuts are super affordable.

Who doesn't love a fresh, warm donut? Not anyone, I say. And if by chance donuts are not your jam, you should definitely pre-order and try 9th & Hennepin because they'll probably change your mind. We've had it on our Yelp hit list for a while, and it didn't disappoint. It's at least a 4 out of 5 star rating and would recommend in a heart beat. The staff was friendly and you can tell by their customer interaction that they have a lot of regulars. Also, they rotate their online menu and I appreciate their unique flavor combinations. We tried the following: -- Ricotta Cake donut with Roasted pears, fresh Thyme sugar -- Espresso flavored cake donuts with spiced condensed milk glaze -- Filled brioche cranberry curd, with apricot ginger glaze -- Honey roasted rhubarb fritter, grand marnier glaze We couldn't eat the donuts right away because we were on our way somewhere. However, I couldn't handle waiting and the amazing smell permeating the car got to me, even to the point where I asked...(maybe demanded)...that we pull over and devour them one by one in front of a random yoga studio. Really like that their donuts aren't too sweet, and they all had nice, subtle flavors. My two repeat donuts would definitely be the honey roasted rhubarb fritter and Ricotta Cake donut with Roasted pears and fresh Thyme sugar. One word: Yum!

These donuts are amazing! Hot. Fresh! Delicious! The way fried pastry is ment to be. There is always a GF option. They taste liked they look, no false advertising here. This is long overdue, I have no idea how I missed recommending this place immediately after my first bite. Shame on me. Go.

After seeing this at farmers markets early in on and regretting not trying them, I finally had time to go down to this part of town years later :) The owner post new flavors of donuts every Wednesday of each week and is open Friday - Sunday. You can pre-order or do walk ins, as he has some for walk ins available. I didn't want to take my chances so I pre order online. It was pretty easy. We got pride week flavors: Coconut cake donut with kefir lime leaf sugar --- the texture was really good. It was probably one of my favorite donuts of the batch. The flavor is very subtle so not as strong as I want but it's there. Pistachio buttermilk bar with apricot glaze --- least favorite but not bad. The flavor wasn't there and it just wasn't as memorable as the other ones Filled brioche with blackberry pudding and verbena glaze -- good, soft yeast donut. Strawberry fritter with masala glaze ---- not as crunchy as other fritter but the inside is soft and I love the strawberry. It was $11 for the box of 4 donut or $2.75 each. The size is pretty standard so I think for the price, it's pretty reasonable. The fritter is definitely smaller than normal fritter but it's a good size for me. Overall, the donuts was good, the flavors Definitely need to be stronger though. I'm glad to have tried it but given it being so out of the way, I wouldnt go out of my way to come back, only if we're in the area :)

Donuts and Tom Waits' music are two of my favorite things, so 9th and Hennepin has been on my must-try list for a while. After a failed attempt to visit his shop in Delridge (it was closed), it was awesome having the chance to visit his truck in Ballard this morning. Donuts were fresh and pretty yummy. Flavors were unique and not over-powering. Southern California still has the best donuts of anywhere I've tried, but 9th and Hennepin is a close second.

Extremely fresh baked doughnuts. They were very creative and thought out flavors. Much better than your standard doughnut shop. They have 4 weekly flavors. There is a service window, that you place and pick up at. Wasn't much of a wait but next time I would preorder online. Friendly staff. I would come back to try more flavors.

This is the second time I've gotten 9th and Hennepin's donuts on a weekend morning and I can sense this quickly becoming a new weekend ritual! The donuts are creative and incredibly delicious, I'm looking forward to seeing what flavors are coming out every week (check the website of the same name) and they are served hot and fresh - truly a decadent experience. The service is also wonderful, always kind and friendly. If you're looking for a weekend morning treat, definitely check out this gem!!

9th & Hennepin is now my favorite donut shop in Seattle! TLDR: Hot and fresh gourmet donuts with new flavors every week. LOL at first I thought 9th and Hennepin were the cross streets, but it is actually a Tom Waits song that has a line about donuts. This place is located in Delridge near Delridge Way SW & SW Findlay St. They are only open three days a week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). Each week they offer four donuts (a raised/filled brioche, a fruit fritter, a cake donut, and a random one). The menu is posted online on Wednesdays around 6 PM. The website is really good and kept up to date. You basically need to order and pay online ahead of time, but it was super easy. You also have to choose a 10 minute time slot for pickup. I ordered one of each donut (4 for $11) and two drip coffees (beans from Queen Anne Roastery). This is what my variety pack included: Buckwheat cake donut, roasted plum glaze Honey buttermilk bar, saffron glaze, candied almonds Filled brioche thumbprint, lemon curd, rosemary sugar Peach & blackberry fritter, sherry glaze Everything was delicious and I love the rotating menu. The owner is an experienced chef who previously worked at Crave and Portage Bay Cafe. He uses fresh and local ingredients for his donut creations. I will definitely be coming back!

I really the concept of a new menu of fresh donuts every week. It's $10 to get one of each (4 flavors) and you select a time slot to pickup. Really convenient! The only downside is I'm personally not into cake donuts that much as I don't love the texture. It's still cool to try different flavors though. The week I went, these were the flavors ordered from my favorite to least: - Filled Brioche Thumbprint. Scotch-Butterscotch Pudding. Ground Theo Dark Chocolate - Quince-Apple Fritter. Vanilla Bean Glaze - Lemon Ricotta Cake Donut. Tarragon-Sage Sugar - Chocolate Stout Cake Donut. Espresso Glaze ***** My Star Ratings: 1 Star - Terrible. Just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars - Meh. Unlikely for me to return. 3 Stars - OK. Open to coming back, but wouldn't go out of my way to. 4 Stars - Yummy! Will definitely return if I haven't already. 5 Stars - AMAZING!!! Would plan my day or even a trip around eating here.

oh you should have seen my face when i unexpectedly found myself in the same place at the 9th and hennepin food truck. i'd had this spot on my list of places to try for a while, and because my usual week-to-week doesn't take me anywhere near w seattle, it was going to have to be an endeavor... unless the fates aligned! and they did. a friend and i split two of their donuts of the week at the georgetown carnival, and i gotta say, it's almost entirely a homerun. i think i'll have to try more to give a fully fair synopsis. first, the service was super friendly and super fast (so fast they almost missed filling my filled donut haha), so thank you for that! what a treat on its own the donuts are fried on the spot, as they should be, piping hot and ready to eat. we had the chocolate cake donut with whiskey glaze, and a butterscotch filled brioche donut with a vanilla glaze. now, the -1 star is a hard one for me. these were top notch donuts. the yeasted dough and the cake were very tasty. the glaze, for me, is where it fell short. i couldn't taste those flavors as much as i tried. and the chocolate cake one was preeeetty close to undercooked/raw in the middle. still delicious, fudgy and hella chocolately but... was a little nervous about the batter there. would love to try more though. they've got something special!

I found this place over the weekend by looking at the 'hot and new' on yelp in my area! Please let me say- these doughnuts are AMAZE. I had one that sounded kind of funny- Pear with olive oil and lemon and dunked in (I can't remember the name of the frosting). It sounded funky but I gave it a go and it was beyond worth it. Also had an apple pie type doughnut that was not too apple pie-y and was just like the first- slightly crisp on the outside and moist on the inside yes I said it haha moist! I have never been to this location before so ordering was a bit confusing to me since that kitchen is used by about 7 other restaurants. The menu for the week hadn't been posted online so we couldn't order ahead of time and didn't know what they had but it was fine. Regardless, we figured it out and it was worth it! I'll definitely be ordering from here again.

The best donuts in Seattle and arguably the best I have ever had. It is a no thrills experience on the outside. Just a window in a commissary kitchen. Feels like least likely place to find such a gem. There is no glitter on these donut, no cookies or fruit loops on these, no hip Instagram-able decor to fool into thinking that the donuts is something more than it is. None of that pointless nonsense. It is just a baker that has mastered his craft and has the upmost respect for what the donut can be. They use diverse ingredients that pack so much flavor into every bite. There are different kinds of donut styles here each week, and they have perfected the size, crunch, and consistency of each type. You must try this place.

I'm late to the 9th & Hennepin doughnut party, but a shout out to fellow Yelpers, Wendy K and Richard U for convincing me to get that carb fix. I had placed my online order the day before and had been eagerly awaiting the actual pickup this morning (4/18/20). My first taste of these uniquely crafted doughnuts! Despite the pouring rain, hydroplaning on I-5 from Shoreline, the closed West Seattle Bridge, Google Maps got this directionally challenged Yelper at the destination with the convenient loading zone. I was 40 minutes early from my appointed time, but the kind owner still provided my prepaid double order and a brief friendly chat at the window. The takeout boxes were warm to the touch, took a quick photo and then did a u turn to leave the loading zone to park elsewhere. I had brought nice saucers to take snaps of these beauties on my car dashboard. Forget that, once the box was opened, that fresh aroma hit me, I took a bite from each one. Ended up then eating one entirely, licking the exploding filling all over my hand and jacket sleeve. Almost felt downright naughty doing this in my car, couldn't even wait to get home! Ahem, I digress. The closest analogy to this experience was waiting in an early morning line nearly 5 years ago in Maui for fresh malassadas. So what were the featured four varieties? *Mashed Potato Cake doughnut with Maple Bourbon glaze *Citrus Olive Oil Cake doughnut with Aniseed Sugar *Filled Brioche with Earl Grey Pudding with local honey glaze *Rose Poached Pear Fritter with Pink Peppercorn glaze Polished off the equivalent of 3 of 4 in the car and later at home with a glass of ice cold milk. The other box was nearly demolished by The Homie. But these doughnuts are decadent, filling, and definitely meant to eat warm. I wrap up sharing this Yelp experience with you, as I pat my Covid-19 takeout buddha tummy. Mmmm, doughnuts Homer Simpson-like satisfaction, those flavor combinations!

One of the highlights of my childhood was going to Krispy Kremes when the donuts would roll off fresh from the conveyer belt. 9th & Hennepin replicates this warm experience with their artisanal donuts prepared fresh and personally delivered to your hands at pick up. Menus change weekly and are available starting around Wednesday 6pm for pickup Friday- Sunday. The whole process is simple: pre-order, designate a pick up time and obtain the donuts! Easy as that! If now one is available at the window, ring the assigned doorbell since it's in a commissary kitchen. Flavors change weekly and have all been excellent! I look forward to the donuts always being fresh and warm. This place is worth checking out on a weekly basis! +1 Vibe +1 Taste +1 Presentation +1 Service +1 Value

This place operates out of a window a few blocks from my house on weekends only. You put your order in online, you go up to the counter at the designated time and say your name, and you leave with a box of hot, light, delicious, instagrammable donuts. I'm not gonna lie, I even love stale maple bars from Safeway, but this takes it to the next level. The flavor combinations are adult and creative, but not so creative you roll your eyes, the donuts are just sweet enough, and the texture - on everything - is amazing. All seasonal ingredients too. I'm shocked this can be even done and grateful I'm on the same side of the bridge as this place.

Made to order doughnuts?? This is the first place much less food cart that i have seen attempt this at local farmers markets. As you can imagine, flavors of the day vary and there only about 4 each time. The offerings are very artisanal, and have very interesting flavor combinations. They come out of the fryers fresh and can be and are crafted right before your eyes. The french cruller drizzled with honey and powdered sugar was sublime, with an almost custard soft interior. Definitely worth a look if you see this at your local farmers market

I order from these guys basically every single weekend, and every single weekend I get winners from them. A new menu each week, always two rings, a filled brioche, and a fritter to try. I sadly haven't kept track of them so I can't highlight which have been my favorites, but at this point the list would be a mile long anyway. There's been a few times some of their donuts haven't been stellar. It seems like chocolate dough is a bit less weaker in flavor and more likely to crumble the few times I've had them. Sometimes the flavors in the glazes are too subtle to really pick up. But honestly? It's still cool to see how they come out. I appreciate Justin's experimentation. It's a great reason to wake up in the morning on a weekend instead of sleeping in until the afternoon. The coffee ain't bad either.

Best donuts in Seattle. The idea is brilliant - time slots, freshly fried and made to order. The nectarine fritter was astounding. Impossibly fluffy, that fresh nutty oily crispy exterior. A glaze that perfectly complements the subtle nectarine aromas within. A couple of slices of fruit. The brioche was fantastic too - some pistachio frangipane. The cruller was fantastic - custardy, matrix of creamy deliciousness on the inside. Cardamom sugar was perfect with it. It's hard to get a hot, fresh donut - sure there's places where it's recently been taken out the frier. But this is straight out of the fryer.

danger! danger! fried fresh deliciousness! i've ordered from other vendors at this shared commissary kitchen in north delridge but today, with the colder temps and grey skies, doughnuts called to me. they change their menu to adjust to the season and the weekly whim and if my sampling today was any indication, that means if you become a regular, your taste buds are in for a treat. i opted for the brioche filled cherry and apricot jam as well as the fall fritter because, well, you say quince and i say YES! ordering is online (and i suppose in person at the walk up window) and is easy enough. you can order single doughnuts, combinations of doughnuts and coffee. there's also the box of one of each of that specific week's flavors, totaling four. they are deposited into your hands in a compostable box that is warm and has amazing smells emanating from it. good luck getting home or to your car without opening the lid or sinking your teeth into at least one. my newfound knowledge of 9th and hennepin's overall quality is dangerous for me, since their location makes it too easy to make this a regular weekend occurrence. i'm going to attempt to hold back and order occasionally but i'm all in in terms of following them on instagram so that i can at least be electronically tempted each week. follow and order at your own risk!

if you're searching for the best doughnut spot in Seattle- look no further than 9th & Hennepin! These doughnuts are guaranteed to be fresh, hot, and delicious. Check out their Instagram for the weekly specials, and be sure to order online a few days ahead of time. Don't sleep on these doughnuts in West Seattle, they are worth the drive!

My sister and and her husband have been buying these doughnuts for awhile one of her favorites in the city and can be found at a few farmer's markets around Seattle. I went to the UW Farmers this morning to find a couple of my favorite vendors like Salmonberry and to finally try these. They are fried to order one is $3 if you buy three or four you save some money. He changes flavors each week and uses season fruit from the market. I went with the three fruit ones for the day. The huckleberry cake doughnut with lemon lavender glaze, pistachio glazed peach curd filled brioche and apricot fritter with orange cognac glaze. One thing my sister really liked was that the fritters have lots of fruit. I ate about half the huckleberry cause I wanted to see how it was freshly fried. Brought the rest home to share with my dad and brother they were still just a good and the flavors are well balanced great combinations and perfectly fried.

I so wanted to love these, but it definitely wasn't a love at first bite situation. I had wanted to try for a while, and while picking up bagels at Loxsmith, I decided to get a variety box while I was there, as they had literally just been made. Price point is decent - $12 for 4, and they're a good size. Service was good too - very friendly person at the window. The flavors were subtle, which is fine although they could have been ramped up a little, but I appreciate they weren't overwhelming. What I didn't enjoy though was how heavy they were - very dense. But I think the worst part for me was the intense oily fried taste and feel of them, which I get some people enjoy, but personally I hate. Glad I gave them a go, but wouldn't go bav

I'm skeptical about donut shops receiving rave reviews but today proved that this place totally deserves it. Ordered the variety 4-pack for $10 and each donut was magical in its own way. My fave was the oatmeal donut with a complex glaze on it. But all were great even a coconut cream filled one (I've never liked cream filled donuts before!). Better still, when you set your pickup time, you'll get them warm from the oven! 5 stars all around. My previous favorite place was Good Day donuts in white center and those are still good...but this is next level.

Kind of interesting on how they do their donuts. They only have 4 a day and then are cooked to order. Came out nice and warm. Really yummy. Its some kind of working school kitchen that also has lunch dishes too.

These doughnuts are amazing! Closed Monday to Thursday but they publish a weekly menu of new flavors (4) Wednesday by 6pm. Online ordering is easy and pickup is scheduled Friday through Sunday. There's a shared kitchen at the building so you look for the business on the outside and press the appropriate doorbell for your order to be brought out to the window. Social distancing, check-check! These doughnuts are super fresh and the flavors are clear and tasty! Getting to WS is a pain and there's construction on Delridge but if you have a sweet tooth you may want to tough it out and make it a road trip! Grab a box, do Sunday Market, walk around Alki!

I'm hesitant to write this review because I love these donuts so much, I almost want it to be a secret :) Ordering ahead and picking up at the window is very COVID friendly. These donuts are so fresh, warm, and unique. It makes such a huge difference that they are made to order and not sitting in a case all morning. Can't recommend enough!

Super easy online pre-order and pickup. The donuts were all warm and delicious! I could eat a dozen of those light and crispy crullers. Seriously. In order of deliciousness: 1. French Cruller; Vanilla Bean Glaze 2. Brioche w/Quince-Applesauce; Saffron Honey Glaze 3. Mexican Chocolate Cake; Dulce de Leche Glaze (GF) 4. Rosemary Apple Fritter; Pine-Nut-Butter Glaze Will be back for more, again and again!

Ordered here a couple of times. First time was a good experience but the last time was not. Was supposed to get 4 different ones but received 2 of the same (didn't notice until we got home)-apparently a staff error so we didn't get to try the one that soundest the best- the honey-roast rhubarb with grand marnier. The ricotta with pears didn't have much of a taste, and the brioche had a yeasty after-taste.

The donuts were good but really small for $11 Probably won't Go back because of that.

Everything a donut should be. Food: LOVE the fact that there's a rotating menu. The flavors are so unique and things you think wouldn't taste good on the surface come together so beautifully in reality. I don't know how they do it. I love how the donuts are *warm*. It took everything in my power to NOT scarf one down as I drove home with my donuts. The donuts are fluffy and light and not cloyingly sweet. My only slight quibble are the donuts are somewhat smaller than I was expecting but I can get over that. The freshness and quality is out of this world. Ambiance: shared commissary kitchen so nothing to say here but you know that already. Service: pulled up on a rainy Sunday morning for my scheduled pickup and didn't even have the ring the bell. I approached the window, it opened and my donuts were promptly brought out. Summary: go.

The donuts are unreal. Fresh made to order and delicious. There are a bunch of different restaurants in this area and they all do a good job of complimenting each other. Worth a visit.

Placed an order for 9:45 on Friday morning after thanksgiving and the friendly owner gave the donuts to us upon walking up to the window. We drove to Alki Beach to enjoy them, and they were hot, crispy, and tasty. I liked the potato long John the best. I would be interested in a savory flavor - rosemary, or tomato, or something like that. Planning to return for the unique flavors in the future. See the photo for the flavors we got.
