Reviews for General Porpoise in Seattle, WA
Tasty donuts with a side of delicious latte :) I usually get the chocolate marshmallow one, but their limited tiramisu donuts... just come back and I\'m in love! Their baristas are friendly and make good drinks. They also have multiple outlets in case youneed to charge your electronics while relaxing! Definitely recommend! Read more
Tried each of the daily doughnuts and all were great! Although I usually prefer chocolate filling, the Vanilla Custard one was... my favorite. Wish I tried one of their seasonal ones but there weren?t many available. I went Around 11:30am on a Saturday sonot sure of the lack of variety was typical for the time of day or week.\nAlthough I enjoyed the doughnuts, I was iffy on theprice. However, each doughnut was pillowy and nice and fresh so maybe it was worth it. Will go again! Read more
The dough is subtly sweet, and the yeast dough feels so homie and nice. This is not your typical overly sweetened donut. Filling... is true and authentic to their name. I tried a seasonal butterscotch flavor, it?s light and robust at the same time. So goodthat it?s beyond words! Read more
Coffee is delish! I was pleasantly surprised to see they had brioche donuts. I think that\'s what they are called ???? So... freaking yummy! Highly recommend the vanilla custard or the mixed berry jam flavor :) Read more
Doughnuts are light and fluffy with a little bit of chew and a slight sour taste from the fermentation. Vanilla are my favorite,... lemon flavor was a bit too acidic.\nOverall absolutely delicious. This place is a Must Try! Read more
I actually loved the texture of the doughnuts, they\'re really light and not cakey at all! However, the flavor wasn\'t really as... sweet as I had anticipated. I love custard filled doughnuts but I found these to actually taste more bitter than sweet (whichmay be more appealing to other pallets-- my personal preference is for sweet). I did find if I had a sip of my coffee ( whichwas very bitter) before biting into one, that changed the flavor dynamic to appear sweeter than eating the doughnuts alone.\n\nIdid try three different kinds (note they are pretty pricy at $5 each) and I really enjoyed the lemon. In fact, the fillings inall of them were great, the texture was also great but the flavors in the dough just didn\'t appeal to me. It felt like itdistracted from the fillings themselves.\n\nThe store itself is really nice and has indoor seating open to patrons with fast andfriendly service. Again, my review is more about personal preference, so if you prefer a sweeter treat, these may not appeal toyou. But if you like a more subtle sweet, I\'d say give it a go at least once Read more
Super cute coffee shop.\n\nA friend recommend General Porpoise, who said they have the best coffee and donuts. It?s a little... tucked away in Capitol Hill, but easy to find parking. The aesthetic is like a cool garage coffee shop. Their donuts areamazing! It sort of tastes like a custard malasada, if anyone from Hawaii is reading this. Their coffee leaves a little to bedesired as they have very limited flavors, like five different kinds. I wish they had more.\n\nOverall 7/10, would visit again.:) Read more
There is nothing not to love about their doughnuts! Since moving north, it?s always a treat when I?m in Seattle.\nMy personal... favorites are the lemon curd and chocolate marshmallow. They have seasonal flavors too.\nIt can get super busy, especially onweekend mornings and afternoons.\nService has always been friendly and efficient. Read more
