Donut Factory is scrumptious! My top three favorites are the blueberry fritter OMG so good, maple bar, and the raspberry filled glaze. They all are delicious and their textures are a light and crispy on the outside and a melt-y dough-nut texture on the inside. And the glazing is the perfect balance to feel like it's not too heavy. There were some that weren't my taste, specifically the old fashions were too dry and crumbly for my taste, and cinnamon roll could have had more icing. But I think there's something for everyone you just have to try some to find what you like most! I like that the donuts are on display so you can compare the many different choices. I want to try a ice cream donut sandwich one day! It smells delicious and customer service is always nice and friendly.

Donut Factory is an Asian-owned local bakery in U-district! Pop by after shopping at Trader Joe's or waiting for the bus. They have a giant selection of donut flavors and also offer seasonal specialities. I ordered the matcha green tea and the chocolate Bavarian cream donuts. They were lovely! I wish the matcha flavor was more prominent though. But there was decent cream filling in the Bavarian and the donuts were fresh. There isn't any seating or waiting area so it's a very grab and go spot, but there is a designated parking lot and is close to many bus lines. The cashier was friendly and explained to me the speciality flavor options.

Lots of donut options to choose from in a big display counter. There isn't really any inside seating, but the donut makes a good on-the-go food item. The staff seemed friendly and the service was quick. There were so many interesting options to choose from; it was very hard to decide!Glazed Crobar (Croissant + Donut Bar): The crobar was delicious and a good amount of sweet. The glaze was a bit crisp. When you bit in the donut, you can clearly see layers like that of a croissant. The donut was soft, but can feel a bit heavy at times. Overall, a very yummy dessert that satisfied my donut craving.

Mmm, doooooooonuts... I popped in one night about an hour before closing, they were out of the popular ones but still had a decent selection. I was in and out quickly, but when I popped in a couple days later on a weekday morning, there were about 5 people in front of me and took about 10 minutes til I got my bag. Of the 5 I tried, here's my order: 1 - Glazed cro-bar (cronut longbar) 2 - Cake donut with chocolate & coconut (ordered this twice) 3 - Glazed old fashioned 4 - Smore's donut 5 - Cookies and cream cake donut The glazed cro bar was awesome, even pretty fresh and flaky a day later when I finished it off. The chocolate/coconut was a good balance of creamy chocolate and soft cake on the first go round so I got one more on my second visit. The glazed old fashioned is nothing fancy but it was on point. I was bummed when the Smore's was sold out on my first visit, but it was super disappointing in the end. The cake wasn't very moist, there wasn't enough graham crumbs, and the plain untoasted marshmallow didn't do anything for it. The cookies and cream was also a let down, once again the cake was a tad dry and both the chocolate cake + cream topping lacked flavor. Overall there's a great variety and good customer service. The prices are a little on the higher end, and the donuts are pretty hit and miss. Find your favorites and stick to them!

I've been meaning to try this spot for awhile but I oddly don't crave donuts in the afternoon and am never around this area in the morning lol. But I finally decided to swing by while waiting for my wife at an appointment. The gentleman working was super chill and helpful. There were so many options and I had no idea where to start. I asked him the top sellers and he also provided his favorites. I went with his favorites and they were delicious. Blueberry fritter - 5/5 it had great flavor but felt more doughy/airy than apple fritters in the pastMango filled - 4/5 mango flavor was strong but very sweetStrawberry cream cheese - 5/5 loved the flavor combosCrowbar - 3/5 unfortunately this one disappointed. I think I expected more layers but resembled a regular glazed bar. Maybe if it was fresher I would have felt the "cro" portionTiny parking lot with limited parking.

I was really looking forward to trying the pumpkin latte donut at this Seattle spot, but sadly, it was already sold out when I arrived around 2 PM on a Friday. Nevertheless, I opted for the pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing, and it didn't disappoint. They offered an enticing array of flavors that I was tempted to explore, but had to exercise some self-restraint.

Was delighted to find a place with an ube donut and not an hour-long wait to get it on the morning of my birthday. I was in and out quickly, parking was a breeze, and the staff was the exact burst of jolly energy I needed on a Monday morning. The cinnamon twist was perfection, and the ube donut was everything I hoped it would be (not overwhelming, didn't feel too heavy). My cousin has demolished the rest of the 9 count of donuts I got, and there's no question we'll go back. Can't speak to the ambiance as I wasn't there but maybe 5 minutes, but the experience could not have been more pleasant.

Had a donut craving and popped in to grab a few treats. They've got a pretty wide selection of donuts including some interesting flavors you don't always see (Ube glazed, mango filled, biscoff, etc). I went pretty basic and got a Glazed bavarian cream, blueberry cake, and a naked old fashioned. The donuts were $2.50/ea and the guy threw in an extra blueberry which was super nice of him!I will agree with some other reviews that their yeasted donuts are better. I really enjoyed the bavarian cream, but was less impressed with the cake donuts. The blueberry was good, tasted like blueberry flavor. It had some nice crisp edges on the outside which was good. The old fashioned was a little more disappointing - didn't have that really fresh vanilla taste I was hoping for and instead you could taste more of the grease - have definitely had better versions elsewhere. Overall, I would come back to try more of their yeasted or filled donuts!

Ordered a scheduled delivery of custom donuts to be delivered this am to son at campus. Son waited outside for 30mins and no delivery. Called shop and they said no order received even though I have receipt and was charged over $60. No mention of trying to make right either. They just said new online order system and lots of kinks. I am out $60 and no mention of refund. Asked to speak with manager and haven't heard back. Person I spoke to on phone was really short with me. He said he was dealing with customers in shop so couldnt help me. I guess he didnt realize I was a customer too. Really disappointed as trying to support local business. To add, this is now the third strike. First two orders had issues too. Not as bad as this, but still annoying.
