Daily Dozen Doughnut Company

Here I am with another post about doughnuts, though what's not to like about them when they're done right? I'm surprised at myself that I didn't post about this place sooner. I thought of it while I was looking for restaurants in Austin and the Round Rock Donut Company came up with their massive doughnut for $5.99 which I'm looking forward to try, though that's a post for another time. The Daily Dozen Doughnut Company is a small stand that lies in the heart of Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington.

When I don't know about a place, I have an eye for knowing that it's a good place just by looking at it and when you will have to wait on a long line to get to it. I was in Seattle walking around in the market when I got there in the evening (when everything is closed) and I came across this place and said to my parents, we have to get here early to try this or else we'll be waiting on a long line.

I was right when we got there just 10 minutes before it opened, there was already a line that was being formed to get the fresh doughnuts that were being made. We got on line to get a bag of 12 of the best doughnuts that I have ever tried in my life, good enough that I was genuinely upset when the bag was finished; however, there is so much good food in that market that I was easily satisfied with something else around.

We continued to walk around Seattle and the market for most of the day and eventually passed by the doughnut shop again to see a line that was going all around the market which was very long and I wanted to stand on it and get more, but I just decided to get them the next morning. I continued to have some other very, very excellent doughnuts at dinner at the Dahlia Lounge in the same area of Seattle and as well the best crab cakes I have ever had (not at the same time).
