Downtown Seattle Donut Tour
Your adventure begins at the flagship Top Pot Doughnuts on 5th Avenue, where their “hand-forged” donuts are a local legend. As you enjoy a classic Old-Fashioned or a Maple Bar, we’ll share the story of how Top Pot became synonymous with Seattle’s love for artisanal, quality coffee and pastries, all while taking in the retro vibe of this iconic shop. Next, we’ll venture near the futuristic Amazon Spheres to a trendy donut café known for its innovative flavors and modern flair. While you savor their unique creations, we’ll discuss the influence of tech giants like Amazon on the city’s skyline and culture, and how Seattle continues to blend its industrial past with cutting-edge innovation. From there, we’ll stop by a bakery that has become a local treasure for its handcrafted treats, including light and flavorful donuts. As you indulge, we’ll dive into the story of Seattle’s rich culinary evolution, from its roots in local farming and fishing to its rise as a haven for artisanal bakers and chefs. Our final stop takes us to the bustling Pike Place Market and the famous Daily Dozen Doughnuts stand. Here, you’ll watch as fresh mini donuts are made before your eyes, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and served warm. While enjoying these delightful bites, we’ll share the history of Pike Place Market, from its founding in 1907 to its role today as a vibrant hub for farmers, artisans, and food lovers. This tour is the perfect mix of sweet treats and Seattle’s unique history, offering a deliciously immersive way to explore the city one donut at a time.
