Family Donut Shop

Have driven by Family Donut Shop many times but finally stopped in to grab some donuts. It's run by a sweet Vietnamese couple. They're in a plaza that houses Gyro Sababa and Teriyaki Plus.We dropped in on a Monday morning (10:30am) and were greeted with donut hole samples. Donuts are in the $1.99 (regular/filled) to $2.99 USD (fancy) price range. They also had ham & cheese croissants ($6.15 USD) that are popular.- 7x Donuts - tried two mochi (cinnamon sugar and chocolate), apple fritter, vanilla French crueller, cronut, caramel old fashion and a blueberry cake donut. Mochis were plain, texture was okay. Cronut didn't have that flaky croissant consistency but was light. Everything else was great. My favourite was the apple fritter.Will be back for more FDS donuts next trip.

I've been coming to this shop for 20+ years since I lived behind it with my folks when it used to have a couple tables you could sit on! This place has remained in the same family, and everyone is sweet here. The Apple Fritters they serve are the best I've ever had, slight crisp outside and super balanced cinnamon, filling and dough content all the way through. The French Crullers are also fantastic, more of a light, eggy dough that melts in your mouth, a donut you can't get everywhere. Hands down best shop in WA and on yelps top 100 for the US. Well deserved. Thank you Family Donut.

Just perfect in every way. Family owned, friendly service. Traditional, classic donuts that even taste good the next day. Get there early before they sell out!

Quite possibly some of the best donuts I've ever had. They sell out quickly so I recommend arriving early. The staff that work here are very nice. Small mom and pop shop vibes.

Nothing sets this donut place apart from all the others. Donuts are dense, there's more dough than icing, and the toppings are light. I had to try it to indulge in a new joint, but it wasn't worth it. Cinnamon sugar and glazed twists were very much more bread than a good combo of both Icing and glaze/sugar ratio. Bummer, but happy I tried this place.

This is such a cute little donut shop. They are definitely a popular establishment and have many types of donuts. The donuts are a perfect mix of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the frostings complement the donuts well. The workers are also super friendly. The apple fritter was definitely our favorite.

Saw this place listed on "Yelps Top 100" donuts list. Turns out is was literally right next to our hotel! Had to check it out right? The name actually fits pretty well, seemed like a mom and pop donut shop. Opens early, closes at 2pm or when the donuts are gone! My wife and I each got 2 donuts so I tried four. My favorite was the cake type donut. It was super moist and tasty. The other 3 were very good, but having a "top 100" rating I expected themAll to blown me away.... I would say everything was good, but I don't know what makes this a Yelp rated Top 100. So yes, enjoy some great donuts here, But now I question Yelps "Top" lists going forward!

I adventured to Family Donut Shop in the Haller Lake/Northgate area this morning, Wednesday 3 May 2023, to try a couple of their donuts. The parking lot is shared and I got the last spot on the end nearest the donut shop. As I walked up to the door one customer left and a duo joined me on entering the store. The line was short and the workers quick and friendly.I went with a mochi ring donut and an apple fritter. The total came to just under six dollars. It was my first time having a mochi donut and I found the texture to be a little chewier than a plain yeast raised donut. The glaze and chocolate drizzle/crumbles I could taste and paired well with the donut flavor. The apple fritter was a flatter fritter and was slightly crispy. A texturally unique apple fritter in my experience. Thoroughly enjoyed both donuts and my shopping/eating experience.

I'm going to start by stating blasphemy: I don't like donuts. They're usually caked in sugar or some sort of thick glaze that makes me feel so lethargic and heavy for the rest of the day. With that out of the way, Family Donut Shop serves up some pretty great donuts, even with my donut-avoidant standards. The donuts glisten that looks so tantalizing; yet, they're light and delicious, and they're not very sweet in the best way possible. On top of that, this mom-and-pop donut establishment has great service all around. I'm always greeted with a smile despite the sleepy and grumpy morning hours. I would suggest going early, as this place runs out of donuts fast (and rightfully and understandably so). You can't go wrong with any selection here. Let the wafts of fresh donuts drive your decision on what to get. And no matter what you choose, you won't be disappointed, and it'll be a great start to your day.

I just love it here!...But please expect to be sold out or less flavor options if you get there by 10am! The place is clean! Nice service! Just love it!
