We enjoyed our little visit here. The flavours and textures were different, and delicious, not just different for novelty.The tiny window facing bar is a nice touch to take a seat. Some outdoor seating too but it’s metal so bring some warmer pants as the days get chillier!

This little doughnut shop on Pike St makes some beautiful and fun donuts, although a bit on the pricy side. The bomba/bombs filled with caramel espresso creme was outstanding!They open super early every day (at 6am) which is awesome. I often see people having coffee and donuts in front of the store in an otherwise empty street during early mornings.

A little known secret about me is I’m obsessed with donuts. I really really enjoy them and I would eat them everyday if I could without consequence. Half and Half Doughnut Co has been on my list of donut shops here in Seattle to try. We happen to walk in right as they put a nice row of fresh glazed raspberry old fashions on the shelf, so I had to order one of those. I also ordered a black and white chocolate donut and a cream filled donut as seen in the pictures.The women working the counter was extremely nice and provided great service. She was kind enough to warn me that the raspberry old fashion was just glazed and might be very messy. The box they use for the donuts was a perfect sized box for 3-4 and was decently durable.Now for the taste test. The donuts were all good, the raspberry was sweet and the glaze was practically melting off because of how fresh. The black and white was a solid choice and a very classic taste. The cream filled I didn’t care much for but my wife loved it. The reason I rate 4/5 is because I have an ongoing debate about donuts here in Seattle….most of them taste the same. They are not ever really soft and are all neutral between firm/hard. I prefer softer donuts. I won’t drop other donut shop names as comparisons because I want you all to try all the shops yourself.But hey!! They are really good donuts. If you have a craving I would recommend this shop to you. -Colter

The caramelized espresso creme filled donut was unreal. my wife got the chocolate hazelnut creme and it was just as good. highly recommended!

Delicious and fresh doughnuts with some awesome, out-of-the-box flavors! Pineapple fritter, espresso cream filled, and tea cake?! Like what?! Cake doughnut also wasnt dry like other places. Awesome vibes as well!

Super sweet staff and a yummy old fashioned donut! not anything mind blowing, but good. happy to support a smaller business over top pot or mighty o. nearly $4 for the donut which felt a bit much, but it was a good size. overall, good breakfast treat!

Did a Yelp search for local donut shops and found this place within a half mile of our hotel on first Hill. Nice leisurely stroll through the neighborhoods into Capitol Hill at 8:00 a.m..Decided to get sous vide eggs to start and got the caramelized onion with bacon and cheese. I am serious when I say get yourself one! It was a great start to the morning.Of course we ordered several flavors of donuts to carry back to our hotel..... The pineapple fritter is such a unique taste and so crispy on the edges! Probably one of the best fritters Ive ever tried.The passion fruit glazed old-fashioned gave you that sweet with a little bit of tart that helped to balance everything else out and was very tasty.We couldnt walk away without one of each of the mini Bimbas ....... And wow! I dont know how they make these donuts but they have a nice little crunch as you bite in and then sink your teeth into this dense pillow of doughy goodness. If youve had them you fully understand what Im trying to describe. The cream fillings in each one are not overly sweet and balanced the bite perfectly. Oh and these guys know how to fill a donut! I turned each mini one into four bites and was not disappointed by the amount of cream each bite included.Definitely keeping this place on my list and encouraging my friends to stop by.

I cant find a single thing wrong with this shop! Super cute Amazing flavour combinations friendly staff excellent coffee

Stopped by while walking around the city. Very cute and staff was friendly. Doughnuts tasted great!

Truly the best donuts and fritters that ever were. The cases are filled with jewel-like pastries and none will disappoint. The old fashioned donuts, the incredible scones, the biscuits and fritters all make for delicious breakfast treats. The coffee is stellar, as well, making it a perfect place to stop for a morning pick-me-up. We stopped by Sunday as it was one of the only places open early during a recent trip from NYC and have made a point of going every morning. Friendly and prompt service, as well! Well worth a visit.

Seattles not short of donut options, but Half & Halfs high quality and combination of classics and modern donuts makes it a more than welcome addition. I cant recommend the pistacchio donut enough, and if youre looking for a donut filled with nutella, you will be very happy here.

We got the pumpkin old fashioned, almond joy, and pumpkin spice filled ball with some coffee. The workers were super friendly and they make donuts throughout the day so depending on what time you go, theres different flavors available. The prices were average, theyre big donuts so I thought it was really well priced.

Tasty maple old fashioned and a well made Americano. Perfect treat on a Saturday morning! The only thing that would make it better is a cigarette, but we dont do that anymore.....but you know what I mean, though right?

I came here around 1PM to grab a post-lunch dessert, and there were so many choices that were all quite unique. I asked for the most popular one and was told the old fashioned ones are quite popular (especially chai and another one that I forgot). I ended up getting a passion fruit old fashioned. The icing was quite tart but didnt have a super strong passion fruit taste, and there was a lot of icing. The old fashioned donut itself wasnt very crispy, and it was in general just okay. Definitely pricey for a donut, came out to be around $4 post-tax.

Donuts are good, nice unique styles and very creative flavors. Cute shop with friendly staff. Espresso was just okay, not very strong. But definitely worth it for the special donut types and flavors.

Friendly service, delicious (if a bit on the cloying side) bananas foster doughnut. The cortado was a a bit thin and watery though and the breakfast sandwich, while good, was not served on one of the biscuits! What’s up with that?

The donuts were SO sweet (too sweet). The consistency of the donut itself was good, but the sweetness ruined the strawberry flavor. The bomba was — okay. The coffee was — just, okay. Nothing I’m wild about.

Interesting donuts, I like that theres mini versions so you can sample more. It is on the pricier side in my opinion. I got the cronut, old fashioned and bomba. Out of all of them, the cronut was my favorite. Like and flaky and good flavor, the old fashioned was probably my least favorite, it doesnt have the old fashioned texture, more cakey/soft.

After walking by an unmentionable amount of times before an open date sign was put up, Im excited that I finally got to try some donuts from Half-n-Half!*Highly* recommend the Old-Fashioned donut. The current flavor was the Chai Old-Fashioned, and it was spiced to perfection. The bananas foster was a solid banana creme inside, but the dough seemed a little heavier than I expected. The pineapple fritter was a fantastic change from a usual apple. I wasnt a huge fan of the chai latte, but I might have to try a regular latte for the next visit.Super cute decor inside a tiny shop. There isnt much room for eating your donut inside, so be prepared to take your donut(s) to-go after snapping a couple pics. :)

I have a problem with donuts: I think most of the places would have the same taste and texture in the donut besides the icing.We bought the raspberry and the icing was delicious, sweet and soft. We also got the one filled with banana, and it was a interesting experience. I didnt hate it, I didnt love it. They have a looot of options, and the donut average price is 4usd.

Everything was really pretty good. Not amazing but they have unique and interesting flavors. I got 6 doughnuts and tried a few bites of each along with a hot chocolate. The pineapple fritter was very yummy. The churro doughnut didn’t stand out, basically a churro. The old fashioned was my favorite! The filled are also good.

Old fashioned donuts are great!

Service was so fast and the donuts were so yummy. A good variety. They dont do dozens or half dozens so each piece is individual. Its hard to chose which one but they do have minis! And the coffee was awesome. Covid safe and limit the amount of people allowed inside, so you may have to wait on the sidewalk.

My wife and I were visiting Seattle from Tucson AZ! For the longest time I was searching for a pineapple fritter, it might have been a coincidence or fate but this place opened on Oct 10, and we we’re around a week later (Oct 17 and our last day in Seattle) we immediately went to this place! Their doughnuts did not disappoint!!! The pineapple fritter was AMAZING!!! The sweetness and chunks of pineapple were a perfect balance!! On top of that, the workers were great! We had an awesome experience, and met the part owner who was very sweet and kind. Please visit this place if you’re looking for awesome people and great treats!

Gourmet donuts, delicious breakfast sandwiches and the best biscuits I ever had. Im sure the coffee is good too, but I only tried the food :)

I visited Half & Half Doughnut on Sunday morning after walking by right before they closed earlier in the week and seeing that they have a churro doughnut and knowing I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.I picked up 2 churro doughnuts, a georgette (cinnamon sugar twist), and a special maple pecan fritter. Needless to say, Im glad I went back as they were delicious. The churro doughnuts have a slight outer crunch, delightful cinnamon flavor, and sweet and soft inner dough texture/flavor. The georgette (cinnamon sugar twist) was good; however, Ill be abstaining from ordering one of these in the future in favor of the churro option. The maple pecan fritter was a bit more expensive; however, it was also delectable and Id highly suggest it.

Fantastic old fashioned doughnut. Exactly the right level of crispy crunchy and moist in the middle. We also had the sous vide eggs with french onion. Very good. Go early because they may sell out.

The HnH breakfast sandwich is terrific, buttery bliss.

Yum! Get the cronuts or anything you cant go wrong.

Been coming here almost once a week since it opened. Super friendly staff, great coffee, good donuts, and amazing breakfast sandwiches!

Wow! If you see that Bismarck Espresso filled donut, promise me that you will try it no matter what. That thing is delicious! The coffee is also great and the baristas are all very kind and friendly. I wish I took a picture of that donut to share it on here, but boy could I not wait to devour it. Yum! Highly recommend this place even if you just want coffee or donut.

Such a delicious donut! I got the vanilla glazed old fashioned. For the price, its huge. And the natural vanilla flavor comes through nicely. Way better and fresher than Top Pot and Mighty O. This is a classic, boutique shop. Go and support :)

The Market Spice Old Fashioned is blowing my mind! I was not prepared for a donut to be this good! (or this large!)

Really yummy donuts and friendly staff!

The doughnuts are definitely fresh and tasty. However, there was just too much filling in all of the creme-filled options. Sadly that was overpowering and ruined the doughnut. Those without filling were much better!

Best old fashions doughnuts in town and their idea of making half size doughnuts is amazing. Their drink options are great too from London fog to cappuccinos.

Fantastic service and a unique assortment of seasonal and core flavors.

Pretty wack. Generally dry and not particularly special. The passionfruit was interesting with its strong fruit flavor but the bitterness was far too overpowering. All the raised doughnuts were dry, and the cakes werent great the fritter was equally unappetizing.

The coffee is good and priced reasonably. But the donuts are a bit more costly. They are good. But with everything going on its hard to visit this place regularly with the donuts priced like that.

The vanilla old fashioned elevates the fried cyclops to Michelin 3 star. Enjoy.

This place is adorable and the people make feel comfortable gorging on sugary delights. They make some interesting donuts that go fast. Their HnH breakfast sandwhich has this special sauce that makes me want breakfast all day long! Check them out team

I used to love this place where service and products were of equal quality. Once I even had a long conversation with the baker/owner about our German heritage. But its unfortunately not anymore possible. This past Saturday was the third time that my wife and I had to walk out of Half & Half Doughnut with a negative feeling. It was the third time that the same girl (short, dark hair/ ca. 1.30 pm) served us in a very unfriendly manner. We had a question and she rudely walked away without answering. She demonstratively ignored us and didnt even make the effort to have eye contact! We are asking management to do sth about this employee. We sadly decided that this was our last visit! We would love to come in every weekend but until this issue hasnt been resolved we cannot support this business!

Awesome doughnuts, great coffee, and friendly staff. This little shop has interesting flavors and a really cool vintage feel. I love the pull coffee. I would come back all the time if I lived closer. The bananas foster doughnut is killer! That sweet banana cream filling is to die for.

Best donuts ever! The passionfruit donut was amazing.

Locally owned doughnut shop. Biscuits are my favorite.

The staff here is so kind and the the donut flavors are creative and delicious! I will definitely be back.

This place has warm and friendly staff, and the donuts are incredible! The donuts are unique and the bombs will have you talking to your friends about them for weeks. I highly recommend giving it a try.

The old fashioned donuts are so good. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect texture. I havent liked the other donuts that they have. Some of the ones with filling were good, but the ratios were off and the filling a bit heavy. But the old fashioned is worth it. They have a bunch of different flavors, but theyre all good you cant go wrong. You do need to go pretty early on weekends or they might sell out. They seem to have donuts until the close on weekdays though.

I was so excited to try these doughnuts because they are so beautiful on the exterior but I was severely disappointed when I bit into them. The dough was thick and overworked and one of them even had a hair baked into the dough! Save yourself the money and disappointment and skip these doughnuts.

Delicious bakery treats, very creative but hard to know what is available day to day

Top notch donuts at a high price point. Sadly I can’t recommend it for those with nut allergies— despite choosing things without nuts I had a gnarly cross-contamination exposure, I assume from pecans featured in a lot of their offerings.

Love half and half donuts. I always get a chocolate hazelnut bizmark if I can. Warning:it comes with more cream than you think, but its bomb.The donuts are pricier than other places but its super close to me and really good quality.I prefer their stuffed donuts by far😋, personal preference Im sure, they tend to always sell out by the end of the day.The bizmarks are really like buying 2+ donuts so I dont mind them being $5. If you want cheap donuts go up the street to qfc. Thanks a bunch and they are very nice to my dog when I bring her in 😊

Very yummy! Great donut flavors and some delicious sous vide eggs too! Soft and creamy, and everything comes in super compostable packaging. Lots of outdoor tables & great spot for people/dog watching :)

Ive been wanting to go here for months and finally on Sunday I actually walked by when they were open.The morachino (sp) bismarck was out of this world. Overstuffed with the cream filling. Other local donut shops wish they could pull off something like this.I wish I had grabbed a napkin. Ill be back.

Delicious donuts and great service!

Amazing donuts and coffee. The only suggestion I would make (and the reason for the 4 star review) is that the front of the store, where the outside chairs and tables are, should be swept up in the morning when they open. Enjoying my coffee and donut would have been more enjoyable if I wasnt surrounded by trash left by homeless people the night before.

October 10th they open!Ill come back and write a review once Ive tried the doughnuts. But I doubt the doughnuts disappoint.

Been wanting to visit and their donuts are awesome. flavor of the fillings are unique but so satisfying!

Absolutely incredible doughnuts!The marocchino bismark is insanely good and so unique.Doughnut is soft and plump, perfect texture, top notch filling that coated my tongue with caramel coffee flavor and was the right moisture level to not affect the crumb of the doughnut itself.TL;DR Marocchino bismark is perfection

Half and Half has the best donuts in Seattle! I absolutely love the variety, and the flavors are spot on. I havent had a single thing from there that hasnt been fantastic. Also, theyve got great cold brew!

Used to be good. Quality has gone down. Crabby owner.

Wonderful staff, great donuts!

Great coffee. Friendly staff. Aaaaaamazing donuts! If this place doesn’t put a pep in your step, you already trippin 😋

I work and live across the street and have been curious about this shop since I saw there sign go up. Myself and staff were impressed by the quality and customer service. They will be a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

I pride myself on finding amazing donuts, not only does this place take the fried cake. The coffee to boot, is on par with my favorite coffee houses in Seattle. I highly recommend Half and Half Doughnut Co.

When I got home I found a hair baked in my doughnut. Ruined the experience of the taste and didn’t find anything particular special about it. I got the blueberry fritter and found it to be very crispy.Not what I was looking for.

Love the made in Washington Coffee and products.

If you want a cheap, no frills donut go elsewhere. If you want a decadent, rich, beautifully presented donut served with a smile then Half and half is your place.

They have an amazing selection of unique donuts! This I my go-to donut place! I would recommend getting there before noon, as the selection does dwindle down.

Delightful and delicious donuts and sandwiches! Try the banana foster made with bananas and caramel

I was greeted with a “hello!” Which made me immediately feel comfortable! I highly suggest swinging by and grabbing a yummy donut at this place. A+

Delicious donuts, especially for stuffed donut lovers! The bananas foster was so delicious with amazing creme filling.

My new favorite doughnut spot!! A new company in our area and I am a fan!! I am picky about my sweets so for me to say it is my favorite, thats saying a lot!! Check them out!! I recommend a Pineapple Fritter!!

Pricy but SO WORTH IT!!

Favorite donut spot in Seattle. Flavors are unique and charming, coffee is great, pretty good rewards program and stellar service.

Im always on the search for the best donuts around the world and Seattle is a great place to find awesome donuts. But half and half is at the top of my list in Seattle and across the world. They do not have the selection and their only true classic donut is the old fashioned which they raise to an art form. The plain vanilla is my top choice for classic donut anywhere but they have a cinnamon one, pineapple and chai one that are all amazing.But the absolute most amazing donuts they have are the filled donuts, they are bursting with flavor while maintaining a fluffy creamy intetrerior. You need to try the bananas foster and mochaccino which are true masterpieces of flavor and texture. The chocolate hazlenut is great too, its hard to go wrong there, but it is not as exciting as the others, still excellent but take a chance on the others before going with one you know you will love.Coffee is excellent as well served up from beautiful wood panneled pull espresso machines. Making this place a rare place to get the worlds best donuts with high quality espresso.

The banana foster was amazing

Good savory biscuit

These might be my new favorite donuts. I picked up some for my coworkers, and they were gone FAST.

Ordered (1) Bananas Foster and (1) Pecan Maple...and---although both were of excellent quality and both seemed quite unique in their presentation---$14(+ change) seems a bit pricey for two donuts, even if they ARE gourmet.

I really have high expectations when Im paying premium for donuts. The Old fashioned was way overcooked. Second, we got to the shop around 8 a.m and the donuts did not taste like they were made that morning.

Awful and overpriced. The yeasted doughnuts are dense, dry, and tough and the cream fillings are just flavored meringue. The apple fritter was similarly dense and dry with undercooked apples, and the old fashioned had the texture of a day old product. Safeway has better donuts.

Doughnuts were fresh, but way too sweet for my taste and a bit on the well done side..

Best donuts in the world and the friendliest staff!

I stopped here on my way to work early in the morning and got the banana foster. Not really a fan of filled donuts because it can get overwhelming but this was really good!

The lady at the front counter was amazing great donuts love this place

Excellent

Best old fashion ever. Try them now.

Had high hopes for the donuts, and flavors are good ideas (chai, bananas foster), but honestly they were fairly dry which is the most important part. Great toppings don’t matter if the dough is subpar. My order was around noon, and the dough was consistent across a half dozen donuts, maybe they were stale by then. I’ll try another batch again earlier in the day to see if that helps.Chai latte was great though, and look forward to trying their breakfast sandwiches.Seattle is not a great donut city, but in my opinion Seattle’s best are easily the 9th & Hennepin stall for cake and yeast style, fresh and moist chewy dough along with great glazes/jams. General Porpoise is best for filled donuts.

Fantastic doughnuts in one of the best doughnut neighborhoods in the country

Old school donuts and coffee served with love

Putting your bistro tables in the middle of the sidewalk during the pandemic is gross

Go buy some coffee from them along with your donuts. Support your local businesses!!!!

Friendly small business, doughnuts are delicious

Best Doughnuts in Seattle!

Great cronuts!

Delicious 😋 flavors

The caffe very rich delicious
