Top Pot Doughnuts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interior of Top Pot's store on 5th Avenue in Belltown/Denny Regrade, Seattle.

Top Pot Doughnuts is a chain of coffee and doughnut cafes started in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Top Pot begun in February 2002 and was started by co-founders Mark and Michael Klebeck, who are brothers.^[1]

Top Pot has six cafe locations throughout the Puget Sound region,^[2] and their recipe is used for the doughnuts sold in more than 7,000 Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada.^[3] Top Pot Doughnuts are also the official doughnut at Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders.^[4] In 2011 Top Pot became the official doughnut and coffee of the National Lacrosse League team Washington Stealth^[5]

The name “Top Pot” came from a vintage neon sign that was above a boarded-up Chinese restaurant called "Topspot". The co-founders bought the sign, and left it in a back yard for four years. By the time the sign was restored, the center "S" had fallen off, leaving the words "Top Pot" behind.^[6] However, According to an episode of "How I Made my Millions" an owner claims the 'S' fell off the truck in transit.

When U.S. president Barack Obama visited Seattle in October 2010, he and Senator Patty Murray stopped for doughnuts at the Top Pot on 5th Avenue in the Belltown/Denny Regrade neighborhood.^[7]

In January 2011 Seattle mayor Mike McGinn had bet among various items ^[8] a dozen Top Pot maple bars with New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu over the NFL NFC Wild card game.

SEATTLE - President Barack Obama squeezed in some time to stop for doughnuts Thursday on the second day of a West Coast campaign blitz.

Obama and Washington Sen. Patty Murray dropped by Top Pot Doughnuts in downtown Seattle, where Obama ordered a sampler of two dozen doughnuts to go. Obama is in Seattle to campaign with Murray, who is in a tight race against Republican Dino Rossi.

Obama shared a doughnut with Murray, declaring it "outstanding." He urged the other customers at the shop to vote in the upcoming midterm election before carrying the two boxes of doughnuts back to his motorcade.

They have a huge variety so it's hard to only pick 12 (or 1).

The best part is that the ValuePak has a 1/2 off a dozen doughnuts or a free coffee with a dount (or vice versa). Otherwise, a dozen donuts is pricey ($16-17)~
