Top Pot Doughnuts to Close Longtime Queen Anne Location After 17 Years

Top Pot Doughnuts, a cherished establishment in Seattle's Queen Anne neighborhood, will close its café on Galer Street on April 27th, marking the end of an era after 17 years of operation. The decision comes as the lease for the location concludes, prompting the company to bid farewell to a community hub. In a heartfelt message to patrons, Top Pot highlighted the significance of the café as a place for cherished memories and daily rituals. “This café has been home to so many memories — from your morning rituals to late afternoon pick-me-ups,” the message conveyed, reflecting the emotional connection many locals have with the space. Customers are encouraged to visit before the closure to express their gratitude and share their experiences.

While the Queen Anne location will be missed, Top Pot reassures its loyal clientele that other cafés in Ballard, South Lake Union, and on 5th Avenue will continue to provide the same quality offerings. The closure resonates deeply with the community, emphasizing the café's role in daily life and local culture. As the neighborhood says goodbye, the spirit of Top Pot will live on in its remaining locations.
