Top Pot Doughnuts
If for no other reason, go to Top Pot because the alternatives (cupcakes) are so lame in comparison. Ask any mom on the block and she'll tell you a doughnut--even covered in frosting and sprinkles--counts as breakfast. Taking the icing off a cupcake and calling it a muffin does not make it breakfast. And all that BS about cupcakes being a portion-controlled, semi-healthy indulgence is totally ridiculous. If you're trying to justify your calories, eat an apple for Chrissakes and quit pretending your damn cupcake is a reasonable alternative to anything. Doughnuts make no pretenses about their food pyramid status. They're delicious, calorie-and-fat-laden morsels of heaven. And though this is Seattle and we're full of angst trying to fit into our skintight, low-rise emo jeans, wouldn't you rather follow in the footsteps of American icon Homer Simpson than the mincing, Manolo Blahnik-wearing footsteps of Carrie Bradshaw? Swing by any of the five Top Pots and treat yourself to some Americana with one (or both) of my personal favorites: the sandcastle--a cinnamon and sugar dusted chocolate cake doughnut--or a pink feather boa covered in pink frosting and coconut.
