Top Pot Doughnuts and Coffee

Top Pot Doughnuts and Coffee is a renowned chain of coffee and doughnut cafés that originated in Seattle, Washington, in 2002. Founded by brothers Mark and Michael Klebeck, the company has grown to encompass 17 locations throughout the Puget Sound region.

Origin of the Name

The name "Top Pot" was inspired by a vintage neon sign from a defunct Chinese restaurant. The brothers purchased the sign, and during transportation, the "S" fell off. They replaced it with a coffee pot, resulting in the unique name.

Product Highlights

Top Pot is celebrated for its hand-forged doughnuts, crafted using a secret 1920s recipe. These doughnuts are made from scratch daily, ensuring freshness and quality.

The menu features a variety of flavors, including classics like glazed, chocolate frosted, and maple frosted, plus seasonal offerings. In addition, Top Pot serves a selection of coffee beverages, all roasted in-house at their 5th Avenue location in Seattle.

Expansion and Partnerships

The company offers its doughnuts in over 7,000 Starbucks stores across the U.S. and Canada, as well as in Seattle-area grocery stores like QFC.

Top Pot Doughnuts is the official doughnut at Lumen Field, home to the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders FC. In 2011, it became the official doughnut and coffee provider for the National Lacrosse League team Washington Stealth.

Locations and Ambiance

The company operates cafés in several locations, including Seattle and Bellevue, Washington. Each café features a vintage aesthetic with birch bookshelves and unique metal patio umbrellas.
