Yea Top Pot overrated in my opinion. At least you can get some common Top Pot varieties (Maple Bars, Chocolate Bars etc) at QFC for about half the price.
I'll take a cheaper/arguably better doughnut from Happy, House of Donuts or Countryside any day.

agree
top pot plain cake fails the MeWA test
it is like they tried to make them to healthy and special and wound up taking the essence away.
texture too dense, finish not crisp.

Revised price list/menu for House of Donuts..

My all-time favorites are the cider donuts from Russell Orchards, which is only helpful to folks who live in or are visiting northern MA, as it's in Ipswich MA. I haven't had any in over 20 years (since moving out here) but this time of year, I still get the hankering. No matter how many we bought, the bag was empty by the time we got home. It's fun to watch them make them on their old time assembly line too.
I've had some other really good donuts, but nothing quite like these...

The Marketplace (formerly the Albies), in Woodinville, makes fresh chocolate glazed donuts and bars, with gummy bears, and gummy worms, atop them. My first thoughts were "this is wrong, these things do not go together."
After a thorough, and lengthy investigation, I have changed my mind.
Also a fan of the chocolate glazed with Cocoa Puffs, or Captain Crunch, available at some of the FreddyMeyers.

Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.

in my retirement year I see myself getting a car and hitch and traveling the USA.
One route is New England in the Fall. I have heard so much about cider donuts that it is a must do part of it
I have never heard of them here.

I have not tried them but I've heard the cider donuts at the Orondo Cider Works located up river from Wenatchee are good. Here's their website:
