Musée d'art · Lower Queen Anne · 244 conseils et avis

DailyCandy: It’s worth waiting in weekend lines for made-from-scratch donuts from the tiny, family-owned spot. Go for caramel bacon, Nutella cream puff, blueberry, & Atlanta’s answer to the cronut: the cro-dough.
DailyCandy: Frost takes its donuts to an artisanal level with gourmet flavors. Smoky bacon maple bar is a favorite, but bourbon caramel pecan, Aztec chocolate, & rum raisin cranberry are also worth the calories.
DailyCandy: You have to fight for your right to a red velvet donut. Or an apple fritter. Or a vanilla angel. Such heavenly treats won’t do anything for your bikini body, but in your sugar coma, you won’t care.
DailyCandy: Prepare to be mesmerized by rows of wacky combinations like the Evil Elvis, a plain donut topped with peanut butter, honey, bacon, and banana slices. Snap out of it to order a doughy chicken biscuit.
DailyCandy: Chef/owner Kamal Grant changed the city’s donut game; the shop reigns supreme with ridiculous delicacies like fresh strawberries and cream, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, and the beloved A-town cream.
DailyCandy: 24/7 is the name of the game at The Donut Man (sometimes you need a 3 a.m. sugar fix). Order a pastry spilling with gooey fruit (strawberry, peach) or a cream-filled French cruller. Feel alive.
