Beautiful cafe, great lighting and seating. Vaccination proof is required to dine in. The donuts were delicious, and one was quite enough (big and sweet). The coffee was well made and yummy.

I dont get it. I mean, I am not a fan of donuts anyway so I cant really judge if $4.4 is pricey for a cream filled donut, although I definitely did not magically fall in love with donuts after tasting it. On the other hand, I have toured a few dozens of coffee shops in Seattle and the $5.25 (after-tax/pre-tip) 8oz latte is the most expensive coffee I had. Its a good one, but overpriced.This place is absolutely cute, if thats your thing, just ignore me. For me, I think cuteness is a plus, not a reason for price premium.

A little pricey, but so delicious. Fluffy, sugarcoated donuts filled with light, flavored creams of various flavors. I had the peach one, which I guess was seasonal, and it was insanely good. I couldnt wait long enough to take a picture.

I kept seeing amazing reviews for these donuts, so I decided I had to try it one day after I got off work early around the area. The store itself is beautiful and the finishing is top notch. I decided to go with the classic vanilla custard, as it was my first time trying it. I was very impressed with the taste of the donut. It was a little pricey for what it was, but that is to be expected in a boutique donut place. You can sit and eat inside and work all day and get coffee and that sort of thing, but I did take out and walked home.

The best cream/fruit filled donuts. 😍😍😍It took me nearly a year to finally make it over this way and General Porpoise did not disappoint! Im a fan of the Chocolate Marshmallow. The Pistachio Cannoli is also very rich. Cute small shop and friendly staff.

Best donuts Ive ever had, no joke. Very cute shop. Pricey but worth it.

The doughnuts were mediocre- tasted old and the fillings were underwhelming. The customer service isn’t very friendly either. It’s way overpriced for the product and experience.

Would give it 5 stars but servers super were rude. Doughnuts were delicious though! But prob won’t be coming back

Will not eat here because they want to be eager to violate your personal rights. Need to look at both side but in respect of everyone right. When you force someone to do something than your take their rights way. And this need boycotted. Our Constitution rights over tumps policy!!!!!

Best donuts I ever had. I tried it from the store in Amazon spheres and was mind blown. So full of flavor and the right amount of sugar, salt and fat.

Its hard to describe the doughnuts here. They are simply sublime. Not too sweet, perfectly baked, original and weird flavors. Give them a try. You wont regret it.

Place is awesome. Great Euro style doughnuts 🍩 and very well decorated. Must visit

Visited on Labor day. Good donuts, but not good service unfortunately. The staff at the counter did not say, hi, thank you, or anything, and just answered one question I asked. From her attitude, I almost felt like I was bothering her. Probably not going back.

General Porpoise does donuts...sooo well. Pistachio cream. Lemon cream, strawberry and rhubarb.. Mmm

I love this coffee shop. Their donuts are delicious (chocolate marshmallow is my favorite) and their vanilla lattes actually taste like coffee. Highly recommend this place!

Legit doughnuts; totally live up to the hype. So light and airy and totally balanced —not too sweet or cloying at all. I could easily eat a half-dozen by myself.

Go early in the morning if you can. The smell of yeasty goodness of fresh donuts will make your day. Variety, exotic, fancy…. None of that here. Perfectly crafted filled donuts is what you get. And the seasonal filling options keep it interesting enough.Damn I want a donut now.

I had the Lemon Curd and the Huckleberry and Cream filled donuts. They weren’t for me personally, although I liked the donut batter they used. Overall just too sweet and too much filling for me.Worth a stop for sure if it’s your thing.

My sister, who I was traveling with, had heard of General Porpoise Doughnuts. So, when we saw it, we had to stop. Glad we did. I am not much of a pastry person, but these were exceptional. The lemon curd doughnut was delicious. Doughnuts like these may turn me into a pastry lover.

$23 for five donuts the the server roughly crammed into a box that was to small. If youre going to charge $5 a donut, the donuts should be great (far from it) and dont smash them! Dont fall for the hype on this place.

I am a big fan of this place since I first tried it at the Amazon Spheres.Today, I went to the Capitol Hill location and got two vanilla, 1 strawberry, and 1 coconut.Surprisingly, the vanilla filled had a strong Corn flavor and me and my hubby got so confused...Strawberry one was really good. I love their lemon custard but they didnt have it today.

Favorite doughnuts in Seattle but at 5$ each just getting too expensive to get them regularly (they used to be 3.75$ 2 yrs ago, other high end doughnut stores are still 0.5-1$ cheaper today)… I hope you guys still have enough customers in the long run

One of my favorite spots to stop for a treat and a coffee. The cafe is adorable and the donuts are always excellent.

If you like cream-filled donuts youll like this place. Its a bit pricey, but the donuts are consistently good. I wish they were just a tad fluffier with a bit more cream, but theyre definitely on another level.Theyve also got great coffee here! Love that they rotate the coffee they serve.

Cute place with good espresso and limited donut options if you go after 10am.

Irresistible donuts. Not usually something I seek out but once in awhile you need to experience a good donut. The place is so inviting to sit and enjoy coffee. General Porpoise I salute you for converting me into a donut fan♡

Amazing doughnuts and coffee! Highly recommend.I prefer the ones filled with cream rather than jam/fruits, so I would recommend those!

Amazing donuts. A little pricey but tasted way better than an average donut.

I ordered chocolate marshmallow, vanilla custard and lemon curd. Chocolate marshmallow is the best.

Decent donuts but not worth $4 each. Imagine paying almost 9 bucks for two Donuts. I know inflation is bad these days but come on.

Really cool doughnuts. I had rose cream and raspberry jam, which were both specials. The third was lemon curd, which was also super delicious. The staff were so nice and pleasant, the atmosphere was very clean and chill, and the coffee was very tasty and elegant. Everything they did, they did well.

These were certainly the best donuts I’ve had in Seattle, and maybe the best donuts I’ve ever tasted. I love that they have classic and seasonal flavors. I had a feeling this shop would have great donuts because they only sell one food item so they must do it really well.

I think the donut here is the best I’ve ever had. Super soft, sweet and creamy, my favorite is lemon curd, but every other flavor is super good.

One of hip places in seattle. It is one of my must-go places in Cap hill. The employees are super friendly, and the place has a cute.

Quaint, hip and nicely appointed donut cafe. Great coffee, decadent, filled donuts in a space with a sophisticated air - thanks to the white and gold/brass decor and urban cool vistas. That and the garage door opening (sadly closed on our springtime visit) rocks.

Toothsome and buttery (an excellent mouthfeel) these are just a few of the words that I use to describe these donuts. I would recommend the americano (it’s on the secret menu).

So far my favorite dessert/cafe in the city. Vanilla cream donuts are my favorite. Love the space and decor. Why only open til 3pm?

I got chocolate marshmallow, lemon curd, and peaches/ cream. They were all terrific. Friendly service, high standards for safety and cleanliness.

General Porpoise has some pretty great doughnuts. They’re all stuffed with different delicious fillings, and the seasonal ones are always amazing!

After many years of avoiding the hype, mostly because I thought I hated donuts and especially filled donuts, I tried General Porpoise donuts. OMG I cannot believe I went 6 years NOT eating these donuts everyday of my life.Now I go at least once a week for a delicious treat. My favorite standard is the lemon curd, which lucky for me, tends to be the one that is leftover if you dont get there before the majority sells out (11am-1pm depending on if its a sunny day or not).Aside from donuts, their coffee is great and I love their seasonal lattes. My partner even bought us a cute tote. Anyways, try it out, you wont be disappointed.

Donuts were nothing special and overpriced

I came for the donuts. They are very rich and strong with flavor inside. You either really like them or you dont at all. I would come back to test out more flavors, but they are kinda too rich for me.Make sure to come early or order ahead otherwise they will run out.

Great donuts and lovely chai. Glad I ran into this place for breakfast during my stay in Seattle. I had the Pear Jam donut (limited time version/seasonal), which I must say was different, delightful, and the perfect balance of sugary and sweet.It is a small and quaint shop with a limited selection of donuts. Just know, they are all Wonderful! You cant miss with a donut and coffee here.

Delicious donuts and lovely staff! I’ve been going here for few years now. They have the best donuts in Seattle

The lavender honey latte is amazing!!! Highly recommended 👌

Delicious and unique donuts! One of my fav stops in Seattle. My favs are the lemon and vanilla! The dough is light and fluffy and the fillings are full of flavor.

The place is super cute. We got strawberry rhubarb, lemon curd, and vanilla and they were okay. I would have gone back but the day that me and my boyfriend went their service was terrible, so that’s a big no.

Love the coffee. I dont care for the donuts tho. They are well done with a great ratio of custard to donut. However for me the donuts are too soft and Im not a huge fan of filled donuts anyway. Well executed, just not a match. :)

Matcha latte with a their limited strawberry shake creme filled donuts. You cant go wrong. The coffee is good and the wait is never long. They move people through. One of my staples when Im on the hill

Yummy coffee and even yummier donuts. I love the vanilla custard donut and usually can’t eat just one. They may be expensive but are well worth it. Be sure to get there early because they will sell out. Depending on the time of year, there are seasonal flavors as well.

Clean environment, staff was not too friendly compared to other donut shops like Mighty O’s.Donuts are overpriced for the taste in my opinion. I had the chocolate and vanilla, the vanilla had better flavor than the chocolate.Got a soy mocha- it was great!!! Not too sweet nor too bitter. Wish they offered a larger size.

Excellent, really excellent filled donuts. Also has locally roasted pour over coffee and espresso drinks.

So many options but the lemon curd has a special place in my heart! Service is always prompt and friendly, even at the early hour I typically visit. The coffee is delicious as well. A good spot to bring a book and stay awhile.

Good balanced donuts. But not the best I had in Seattle, and pretty spendy.

I have never liked donuts until Ive had general porpoise and lucky donuts in Vancouver. GP predominantly serves raised filled donuts. The donuts are incredibly light and the magic is in their ever seasonal, spark joy, fresh fillings. Lemon curd is always solid. Today I got banana cream. Yum yum yum.

Google maps please update location

Delicious filled donuts with very lovely staff. If these donuts were any fluffier, they’d turn into clouds. The lemon curd is a great staple but definitely try the cara cara marmalade if you happen upon it. Both are sweet with a nice tart bite.

The donuts were good and the service and atmosphere was excellent! Would come back here!

Small place, but the decor is beautiful and homey. Go early to ensure that you get some donuts, but we went after brunch on the weekend and were fine. The donut itself is fairly basic, but the filling is what makes the donut. Its not too sweet and they have a couple different flavors; all of which are great. For the pricing, I wouldnt go everyday, but its a nice treat every once in a while.

I dont even know what general p is

Beautiful open seating with very tasty donuts for sure. The vanilla and lemon cream we got were rich but not too sweet, fluffy and airy. The hot chocolate was meh, though - stick to coffees.

Went for donuts but they were sold out. My girlfriend got a coffee but it didnt taste great at all, also quite expensive. Very chic place though, loving their colors!

Beignet, also known as yeast donut holes filled with premium ingredients: lemon curd, raspberry and apricots are just two examples!

The best doughnut I have ever had. Their doughnuts are unique and unlike anything I have ever tried before. Good drink options and I love that they give you an eco-friendly paper straw! I would definitely come back here anytime!

Taste good but expensive

Clever flavor combinations, fantastic coffee, great branding and ambiance. Donuts are not your average. They are high-quality and really well made.

Absolutely delicious! Very friendly service with good coffee options. Inventive flavors of creme, custard and jam filled doughnuts. On the pricey side.

This donut was perfect. It was not too sweet, it was soft, everything you want in a donut. But it was $5. I know Seattle is one of the most expensive cities in the country but $5 for one donut? Fool me once.....

Yes! The best donuts. The real yeasted dough and deep fried authentic donuts with luscious fillings. Worth every penny 👍

Great doughnuts, the server was rude though. Would be 5 stars if service was better. Just negative vibes all around from her....

Doughnuts were good and unique coffee pretty good- cool vibe

When I want to get myself a little breakfast treat, I make a trip to this adorable doughnut shop in Capitol Hill. The coffee and doughnuts are well worth the price, and the atmosphere is calm and whimsical. A great start to any morning!

This place is a little hole in the wall and you would miss it if you blinked, but dont. Youll totally miss out! These are some of the most incredible doughnuts! You must try the vanilla custard doughnuts. They are my favorite and are simply amazing. ...and good coffee too. I was skeptical, but I was really impressed with General Porpoise Doughnuts. I highly recommend this place to anyone in Seattle that wants really good gormet doughnuts.

Delightful store with soft doughnuts with tasty fillings. The chocolate doughnut and lemon doughnut were tasty. Iced mocha with oat milk really hit the spot too! Love the mascot

The two seasonal doughnuts - date shake and rhubarb were delish!

The lemon curd was too sweet. Vanilla and Jam were okay. Nothing too great.

Friendly staff, pleasant setting. A four dollar doughnut? Yes... Excellent! The filling was not sweet. Real cream and, apparently, actual pureed peach. Subtle. Very rich. Latte was excellent. Design (Latte Art) lasted to the bottom of the cup. Definitely not your corner Dunkin’ Donuts.

The doughnuts are SO GOOD! Thanks for the suggestions, JT!

Ive had plenty of good fancy $4 donuts before. These arent them. Very disappointing.I like sour, but the lemon curd honestly tasted like it was starting to turn.

What isnt to like about Doughnuts? And General Porpoise do them English style (my claim) and keep them interesting.

Yammy! These donuts are not too sweet or oily and very fresh! Best donuts I have tried in 7 years. They taste like famous european donut Berliner, I love it 😊 Great coffee too! Will be back for sure

I am obsessed with their branding! The lemon donut might just be one of the best donuts Ive ever had. I enjoyed every donut that Ive had from there. They also have a great beverage menu. Their lattes are delicious. Just a disclaimer, be sure to show up early to make sure you can get donuts.

Fancy donuts with unique flavors.

These donuts are freaking perfection. I cant begin to describe how much I love them. Theyre a little expensive and definitely decadent so they are what I call special occasion only donuts. The lemon curd are my favorite but the vanilla custard come in close second and they always have a cool specialty donut going too. All in all, I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Check it out; you wont regret it

Delicious artisan doughnuts, made from fresh local ingredients. Beautiful, cozy little shop. The perfect place to enjoy a quiet retreat and a sweet treat.

Always a good time at the GP. Lattes on point. Doughnuts out of this world. Customer service is friendly, charming, and considerate.

These are the best filled donuts I have ever eaten and I have eaten a lot! The space is cute and the flavors are changing and interesting.

Really, really good donuts. Not overly sweet. Pear jam was delicious. Lemon curd was amazing.

10% service charge to buy an expensive premade donut?! The beautiful pistachio donut sounded good in theory but the problem with using actual salted toasted pistachios was that the salty filling made the donut taste predominantly salty! Didn’t taste like a dessert. :(

LITERALLY the best donut Ive ever had - I had a custard one, and I have to say that it was the PERFECT ratio of custard to dough. Not one bite felt like it was too much custard, or too much dough, and the custard itself was light and airy and never felt overpowering. I could literally go on about this forever, it was so freaking good wow. This is THE place for donuts in Seattle.

This place uses some crazy wizardry to put melted ice cream into a donut. Its not real. Im dreaming.

Some of the best doughnuts Ive ever had.

While the donuts are delicious, the manager Ashley at this location (and she made sure and mentioned MULTIPLE times that she was the manager) informed me that while customer are required to wear masks, the employees only need to wear masks if there are customers in the store. While on the surface this sounds like an ok policy, I was a little concerned that Ash wasnt wearing a mask around both donuts and cups... you know, all the things that are passed to the customers. I pointed out that that their policy is not only confusing, but also a bit dangerous seeing that it does a good job protecting the employees but not the customers. She informed me that it is their responsibility to protect their employees but NOT their customers. um, wow. She also tried to make the point that wearing a mask all day is hard and that shes not going to leave the food area to take a sip of water or drink coffee. Im not sure if this is General Porpoise philosophy, or just hers but it concerned me either way. It would probably be in their best interest to at least pretend to care about their customers health and well being.

Delightful jam and custard filled donuts

I literally have dreams of these doughnuts. They are so soft and chewy, not too sweet. The original cream is my favorite. However, I like to venture out and try some of the new flavors. They sell out so dont wait if you have a craving. I did that once and got there at 2 and they were sold out. I ended up coming back the next day at 9am to get my fix. Wash it down with a cup of espresso 🍩☕👌

Doughnuts are so soft and amazing, but the real winner of this place is the chai latte. It has the perfect blend of sweetness and spice, sometimes I dont even come for the doughnuts just a latte.

This would be a great place to buy one doughnut and an espresso to write your novel. And then sit enjoying the Italian inspired ambiance and view of the courtyard - when COVID ends in a year. Not the place to buy a dozen doughnuts for the kiddos. Limited selection of only filled sugar sprinkled - no glazed. Not Voodoo. Not even Krispy Kreme. Too expensive.

Most flavorful donuts on the Hill!

Best traditional doughnuts with the best fillings.

Great coffee, great donuts. The baristas clearly know what theyre doing
