King Donuts

About

King Donuts has been a South End staple since the 1980s, serving the Rainier Beach community with light, fluffy donuts at honest prices for over four decades. While they nail the classics — glazed, sprinkle-topped, buttermilk bars — it's their unexpected specials that surprise: pistachio green glaze that's nutty and not too sweet, sea salt caramel twists, and German chocolate with toasted coconut. This is the kind of neighborhood donut shop that anchors a community, where regulars are greeted by name and a dozen donuts won't break a twenty. No gimmicks, no Instagram hype — just consistently good donuts, every single day.
