Flour Box Doughnut and Dessert Pop-Up Finds a Permanent Home | Eater Seattle

"Following Flour Box’s move from pop-up to bakery, Mi Kim’s Raised Doughnuts has taken a similar path, recently settling into a permanent shop after operating as a pop-up in town." - Adam H. Callaghan

The donuts were incredibly fresh and fluffy, and the service was excellent! A tray of warm chocolate cake donuts had just come out of the oven during our visit, and we were generously given two to try. I highly recommend this place and will absolutely be returning!

If you are looking for a place with tons of different donut options, this is not your place. However, if you are looking for a soft, pillowy donut, GO HERE. These donuts are by far the best donut quality I have had in this area in a long time. The counter girl was by herself and kind. This is a fresh made donut but NOT manufactured in any way it seems. My donut was gone before I left lol dangerously delicious. Not overpoweringly sweet and did I mention pillowy soft ?

Walked in to buy some donuts for my family but didn't expect to be disrespected because of my size. The owner had made a distasteful comment about my size in khmer and probably thought I didn't understand it. Both the owner and employee seemed like they didn't want to be there. The owner was complaining in khmer the whole time. Didnt feel welcomed at all. I ended up ordering a dozen donuts to support them but I wish I hadn't. Hopefully no one else is treated like this. Would I recommend this place? It's a hard no from me.

Stopped by this donut shop recently, and while the selection wasn’t very large, the quality of the base donut itself was fluffy, soft on the inside with just the right amount of lightness. Cinnamon twist and cinnamon donuts were good and rest of the toppings were too sweet for my palette. The service was great though. They were generous enough to give munchkins free of cost for the kids.

Very high quality donuts and some alternative options like fritters, twisted knots, and kolaches. The cook was perfect - light crunch on the outside with fluffy moist inside. Frosting flavors were a little blah- mostly sugar snd food coloring and not rich in the flavor. Coffee was great and smooth.

Absolutely amazing donuts! Everything we got was fantastic. The apple fritter was among the best I've had anywhere. We drove out of our way to come and we would happily do it again if we're ever anywhere nearby again. It would be difficult to convince me another donut shop was better.

Never knew this was a place. I've been coincidentally ranking every doughnut shop in the area. The ingredients are great. You can taste the yolky delicious eggs in the batter. I like how the bread rises and continues to rise in my tummy. Yummy in my tummy.

Wow, I've been driving by this place for so long and didn't know this hidden gem was just right here. Today, I finally decided to go in, and it was as beautiful as I thought it was. And the donuts are beyond compare. As you will see in the pictures, I brought myself an apple fritter and a jelly donut, and they both melted in my mouth. It's definitely a hidden gem right in the middle of Lowell.

Went to Kim's for the first time this morning right around open to pick up a half dozen for me and my kids. The nice woman running the shop was still making donuts for the day as I walked in, so the only ones on display at the time were some glazed donuts, donut holes and kolaches. She told me to let her know what I wanted and she'd make them up fresh. Sounds good to me! I got a glazed, chocolate frosted w/ sprinkles, vanilla frosted w/ fruity pebbles, maple frosted, a cinnamon glazed twist, and an apple fritter. All of the donuts were incredible. Soft pillowy texture on the inside with tons of flavor. The apple fritter may have been the best I ever had. She fried that baby on the spot for me and it was awesome. Bonus points for giving me a free bag of glazed donut holes, which also tasted amazing. My kids told me they were the best donuts they've ever had. Will be coming back, for sure.

Delicious affordable donuts and so much more. A grab n go location. This location has street parking only. Employees were friendly. Not much to say in regards to ambiance.

Guys, these are probably some of the freshest and tastiest donuts I've ever had. They were so light and fluffy, and the frostings were bursting with flavor. The strawberry frosted donut was insane, and the chocolate frosted donut literally made me almost cry tears of joy. Staff was LOVELY! 10/10 no notes.

The owner and workers are really sweet. Donuts and kolaches are AMAZING. It's a cute Cambodian donut shop, pretty small inside but you're there to get a quick breakfast and go. I wish I lived nearby to become a regular.

The first time I got a coffee it was pretty decent and the donuts when fresh are pretty good but when I went another time around 10-11am ish the coffee tasted very old . Other than that it's not horrible

Good donuts and service but ugly AI signage on the front of store. Definitely take it down and hire a real artist.

Store opens at 6:00am, once open I went inside, they were still setting up for the day. A young lady waited on me and asked if I needed donuts. I asked if they had kolachies. And she answered yes! I was so happy to have finally found them. I lived in Texas for over 20 years and we loved going to the local donut shops for the kolachies. I got 6 jalapeños and 6 plain. And how can you not get donuts at a donut shop? I ordered 6 glazed donuts. The donuts were not ready yet, but the bonus to that was the young lady asked if I could wait 5 minutes in which I gladly accepted and had a seat while she cooked up a fresh batch. They were so warm and smelled so good. She even gave me a lone warm donut for my ride without busting into the 1/2 dozen I was about to deliver to my coworkers. The kolachies were double the size I was used to getting in Texas and I was worried they might not be the same in taste. I was wrong! These had the exact same delicious taste I had been craving since leaving The Lone Star State! I will definitely be back soon!

Nice addition to the Lowell donut scene. It's on Branch Street just outside the epicenter of Cambodia-town, with very limited street parking (no lot), but the spaces turn over often enough that I've visited a half dozen times without a problem. Coffee is New England Coffee. Not bad. Not great. Service is over the counter, with selections viewable in a glass case. Seating is extremely limited; there's (I'm serious) one and a half booths. No toilet ("out of order" translates to "not for you," but I'm here for the donuts, not the bathroom). I'll cut to the chase: This place is good. Better than Donut Shack and Top Donut in my opinion, though I like those places too in varying degrees. The donut details: Honey Dipped: Very fresh. VERY fluffy. Chocolate Honey Dipped: Try the Dunkin' Donuts version of this with your eyes closed, and you'll taste something sweet but never know that it's chocolate. Here, you can really taste the chocolate and there's a bit of fudginess to it, both in flavor and moist texture. Nice shine to the finish. Boston Cream: There's nothing extraordinary about the chocolate here, but it's solid and they don't skimp on quantity. The rest of the donut is super fresh, with a nice tasting batter and a fluffy texture. The thing I love about the inside is that they fill them to order, so while that means the filling will be chilled from the fridge, the upside is you have the flexibility to have the donut filled with Boston cream (basically vanilla pudding), lemon, or raspberry. Try the raspberry version! You can also get it in a larger eclair format. No matter the selections, it's a donut (or eclair) you're going to like. Blueberry: This is a cake donut that actually has the consistency of a real cake, and a moist one at that. Most donut shops that do blueberry donuts have blueberry donuts that taste like chemicals. Here, they taste like blueberries. So between that and the wonderful texture, this is a win. Chocolate Glazed: I'm talking the kind that's a raised/yeast donut with a ring of chocolate, like the emoji. Pretty ordinary with a dry donut (on a 9am visit) under the standard chocolate. Like the Boston Cream, nothing wrong with the chocolate, but not much different from the chains. Apple Fritter: Different places do these in different styles; here, it's flat like a cookie, but really bumpy, with a generous coating of glaze and nice bits of apple. If you try to bend it, it'll bend along with you, and you can taste and feel the stickiness on the inside too. An excellent treat and better than the donuts in my opinion. Not perfection, but overall, a place well worth coming back to.

I liked the hotdog in a bun, which added a little variety among the different donuts they had. Also ordered a blue frosted donut with sprinkles. Sprinkles are super important to a donut and shouldn't be eaten without one! Thought it was okay, but I'm a rather basic donut guy. My usual go to is chocolate frosted with sprinkles.

What a wonderful little family owned donut shop. Businesses like this build the foundation of what Lowell represents. Kim's hospitality shines and you can really see how proud she is of the food that she makes. The donuts are wonderful, the coffee is no frills, straight forward, and tasty. She also separates herself from other establishments by offering kolaches. Sweet bread wrapped around a hotdog. I've tried both the regular and the spicy version, and either option tastes great. Also, her breakfast sandwiches comes with real eggs, nothing processed!

Kim's donuts small family owned shop . Walking into this hole in the wall with a glass case full of nice rounds fluffy goodness! Not to mention to my surprise it's actually owned by a high school friend of mine's family . I love small business with a great product ...the donuts were nice and light and like they say FLUFFY . Your not holding this donut when you eat it it's literally floating in your hand from glaze to frosted and the specialty ham and sausage filled combination goods it's a place to go and enjoy something sweat and a classic morning delight !

Been looking for Sausage Kolaches in the area for a long time, here they are! These live right up to the ones I used to get outside of Houston, really good! Even the ones with Jalapeno in them. Dip these little beauties in mustard and you will be hooked. Also tried the apple fritter: Crispy, soft and really tasty. Donut holes: Fresh, light and none of the weird chemical aftertaste from one of the national brands. Go once, go often, tell your friends!

Kim's donuts is a great addition to the amazing local establishments in Lowell. Awesome donuts and even better service. I got a chance to speak to Kim and she is a great person - very kind and you can tell she cares a lot about what she does. Next time I stop by, I'll try the kolaches! FYI, parking can be tight but there is a spot in front of her building that is a 15 minute only spot.

A dozen donuts --- 10/10 fresh fluffy donuts with a slight crisp. Amazing customer service. Surprised to see the fruity pebble donuts. Happy to support local business. Owner even threw in free donut holes. Will be back again.

They just opened and they are the only place in Lowell that serves fresh sausage kolaches. Delicious sausages wrapped up in soft, fluffy bread. Dip them in mustard and they are just to die for! Doughnuts are made fresh daily. Their doughnuts are also light and not heavy like other shops. They're so good!

My Texas friends have been telling me about kolaches for years but I haven't been able to find them so I was excited to hear about Kim's. My straight out of the office Ham and Cheese kolache didn't disappoint me. :)

We absolutely love this place! Kim and her son Dennis were incredibly nice. We felt so welcomed and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The donuts were among the best we've ever had. The Apple fritter was a huge hit! We also loved the blueberry donut... and then the donut holes were incredibly delicious and addictive! We can't wait to go back soon.

I can't say enough about their delicious donuts and kolaches! They are very nice and I hope they become a staple in their neighborhood.

Best donut shop in Lowell! There is no need for Dunks or any other chain when you have a place like Kim's nearby. Everything is made fresh in house, and all breakfast sandwiches cooked to order (on a griddle, not in a microwave), you may have to wait a few minutes but you can hear it sizzling from the back, and they are well worth the brief wait. Incredible fresh made donuts as well, and the kolashes! Also serving up Hershey's ice cream. All in all, a great spot, and Kim is always super sweet and friendly. Support your local small business, and reap the benefits of quality goods and service.

The absolute BEST donuts in the area. So fresh and delicious. Not overly sweet either! The customer service is also top notch- everyone always has a smile for you when you walk in. So glad we found this gem.

A word of mouth recommendation sent me here on a Sunday morning. I'm glad! Donuts were warm, tasty, that melt in your mouth type a donut! My one-year-old twins enjoyed a munchkin or two! Small shop with a lot of tastiness!

Kim's Donuts are the best! Not only are their donuts delicious, their customer service is spectacular and what one would hope for and expect in a local, family run business. After two unsuccessful attempts from other shops to get donuts made and delivered to my mother's assisted living complex in Dracut, my sister suggested I try Kim's Donuts in Lowell. The woman on the phone could not have been more accommodating and pleasant. They typically don't deliver but when I explained it was my mother's 90th birthday and I lived far away, she told me to hold on a moment. When she came back she said her brother would deliver the donuts (even though it was early on a Sunday morning-their busiest time!) I also asked if she could write happy birthday on one of the donuts. Not only did they write the message but did it on a giant birthday cake sized donut! What a special and pleasant surprise! Needless to say, the residents at the Arbors in Dracut were thrilled and delighted to have these wonderful donuts for breakfast yesterday morning. I can't thank Kim's Donuts enough! Please support this local, family run business.

If you want donuts like when you were a kid this is the place to visit. The donut holes brought me back to when I first had one. The variety was there and the kolaches was a surprise. Service was great!

Excellent donuts. Tried a glazed and a chocolate frosted, they were pillowy soft and the glaze was not overly sweet. I will be stopping in next time I am in the Lowell area.

This place is most definitely a hidden gem and boy am I glad I found it! Went in this past weekend with my son around 11 AM and was expecting to see a bare donut case (the usual with small donut shops after breakfast time on a weekend) but we were pleasantly surprised to see the well stocked case packed with ALL types of donuts and pastries! As soon as you walk in the delicious smell of the donuts smacks you right in the face, and you'll be pleasantly greeted by one of their very friendly employees. We got a dozen and the owner Kim was very friendly and threw in some of their glazed donut holes on the house. These donuts are literally like eating clouds! I don't know how they do it, but they are SO soft they make donuts dunks seem like cement blocks. We still had some left the next day, (box had been left on the kitchen counter overnight) and I was SHOCKED that the donuts were still SO soft and fresh tasting! I swear it's some kind of magic, never have I ever had a donut taste this good the next day. Highly recommend the glazed, Boston cream, chocolate frosted. Hell, I'm not sure you can really go wrong here when picking flavors LOL! We didn't try any cake donuts, but everything we tried was amazing and we will most definitely be repeat customers! If you love donuts and supporting small family owned businesses, go to Kim's! You will not regret it!
