We had some time to kill in the morning before we could get on our cruise ship, so we headed back to Pike Place Market to pick up breakfast and a few snacks for the trip. Our first stop was the Daily Dozen Doughnut Company, which makes piles of mini doughnuts right in front of you.

We picked up a dozen plain and a dozen assorted, which included powdered sugar, cinnamon, and chocolate frosted with sprinkles. We also got cups of hot Seattle coffee because you simply can’t have doughnuts without coffee. These doughnuts are about half the size of regular cake doughnuts, and you can eat a lot of them without even thinking about it.

Unfortunately, the plain ones were sitting out for longer than the other assorted doughnuts, so they were cold and a bit stiff. We tossed them in the same bag as the warmer sugar and cinnamon doughnuts, and that helped a lot. They also got a light dusting of the cinnamon and sugar, which was not a bad thing.
The chocolate frosted doughnuts were my favorite. They have a thick layer of chocolate frosting on top and are covered in sprinkles. What’s not to like?

I liked these doughnuts a lot, except for the plain ones. I’m just not a plain doughnut kind of girl but if you like old fashioned doughnuts, these are definitely for you. The assorted doughnuts are good to get because you can try all of them. They really aren’t that little, and I don’t eat doughnuts often, but we were able to easily finish off two dozen between five of us.
